Speaker 1: In fact, next week we've got some baseball going on
Speaker 1: because we've got some Japanese games happening in the opener,
Speaker 1: which I really don't care for. It's not my favorite
Speaker 1: thing when we start the season two weeks before the season.
Speaker 1: But it seems like if anybody was really ruffled with
Speaker 1: those feathers, it would be Mike Mayer. Mike, I have
Speaker 1: to assume if it bothers me, it must infuriate you.
Speaker 2: Nothing infuriates me except ruffled with those feathers kind of
Speaker 2: threw me off, so that I'm infuriated about that now.
Speaker 1: Well you should be, because you know, I mean, if
Speaker 1: you don't get ruffled with your feathers, then how will
Speaker 1: you teach someone else to do it for you someday?
Speaker 1: Joe Rico looking ready to go here in this spot,
Speaker 1: Joe Rico, you could choose any draft slot today. What
Speaker 1: slot did you choose?
Speaker 3: I'm picking on the turn.
Speaker 4: I'm taking pick twelve in the first round. It's not
Speaker 4: a spot that I've drafted out of a lot this year,
Speaker 4: but I've talked about a lot on this channel.
Speaker 3: How I really liked the end.
Speaker 4: There's probably sixteen seventeen first round worthy players, so hoping
Speaker 4: to snatch up a couple of them at the turn here.
Speaker 1: And how do you like your feathers ruffled? Joe gently
Speaker 1: roughly of.
Speaker 3: Both moderately moderately, moderately.
Speaker 1: Moderately, Welsh, I know how you like your feathers ruffled.
Speaker 1: You're picking at the three spot. I'm at the five spot.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look. Mike Mayer is at the eighth spot.
Speaker 1: So Welsh, you took the three spot. That seems like, uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, like Welsh's looking for an easy
Speaker 1: day at the office today. You think you're gonna win
Speaker 1: this mock draft, and I can guarantee you I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna hate it.
Speaker 5: Just not easy day. Just somewhere that I haven't really drafted.
Speaker 5: I've done so many mock drafts this season, kind of
Speaker 5: moving it around. And to your credit, like I don't
Speaker 5: have much of a decision. Give me Bobby witteror give
Speaker 5: me Aaron Judge and then I get to just kind
Speaker 5: of readjust from there. But yeah, we'll see if it
Speaker 5: goes super easy. By the way, my feathers shaken, not stirred.
Speaker 1: There you go like a true gentleman. That's the Welsh. Okay,
Speaker 1: Black Raptors joining us, Trusted Venom Market eight. Dude, God,
Speaker 1: I love a good look Bosi reference. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: a white Russian right after this draft, even though it's
Speaker 1: basically new in East Coast time. Mctunda CTE Squad. And
Speaker 1: then we've got Schomer, We've got Joey Navarro, friend of
Speaker 1: the show, Chewbacca is joining us, a celebrity fresh from
Speaker 1: the ranch. Those are all of our listeners joining us
Speaker 1: today here on the podcast. We're gonna start this bad
Speaker 1: boy up because it is time to get our mock
Speaker 1: draft on. And remember we're using the mock draft software
Speaker 1: available over on draft Wizard. If you haven't already, make
Speaker 1: sure you download the draft Wizard app. Make sure you
Speaker 1: go to fantasypros dot com slash MLB draft Wizard so
Speaker 1: you can run all the mock drafts you need to
Speaker 1: get ready for your drafts. You want to dominate your drafts,
Speaker 1: this is the way to do it. Sink your leagues
Speaker 1: for free. And of course you can also use the
Speaker 1: draft assistant in your draft, so it's gonna sink directly
Speaker 1: to your live draft as well, help you make recommenitions
Speaker 1: for picks. You could set cheat sheets with different experts,
Speaker 1: all the bells and whistles. You can think of it
Speaker 1: as the true cheat code to making sure that you
Speaker 1: rock every single draft, and rock them hard in the
Speaker 1: next couple weeks. Let's start off here, no surprise at
Speaker 1: the top, show hel Tani off at the two spot.
Speaker 1: After that, I assume we're gonna get Bobby Witt, but
Speaker 1: we'll see what Venom does here. Then Bobby Witt goes
Speaker 1: number two while you were on the clock for one
Speaker 1: o three.
Speaker 5: As fun as it would be to take Ellie, who
Speaker 5: I have battled between the three and four spot the
Speaker 5: whole season, power is just at a premium. Power is
Speaker 5: the new stolen base. So how about them? Aaron Judges.
Speaker 1: Aaron Judges is gone market. Eight dude is on the
Speaker 1: clock at one oh four. I gotta say, I thought
Speaker 1: Ellie was gonna make it to me. Jose Ramirez does not,
Speaker 1: so it's to me. It's five by five. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: so attempted to take Juan Soto last time we did
Speaker 1: an OBP League, But if you want to see that,
Speaker 1: you can go back and watch that one. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the Ellie de la Cruz and see what I
Speaker 1: do with the outfield because everyone can be complaining and
Speaker 1: bitching about outfield. I'm starting to find some gems in
Speaker 1: the outfield some of the shows we've done, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take Ellie de la Cruz. Mctunda's up next, coming
Speaker 1: in a couple picks here, Mike at one O eight Mayor.
Speaker 1: I know we're live here and some of the people
Speaker 1: in the draft are also here hanging out with us.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you want to give away
Speaker 1: the game or not, but what are you hoping to
Speaker 1: make this pick here? As? Oh, you are up on
Speaker 1: the clock here.
Speaker 2: So I intentionally pick this, you know once you texted
Speaker 2: me last night and kind of begged me to join
Speaker 2: the draft so you could share it around because I
Speaker 2: was the last person to do so. I looked at
Speaker 2: where you guys were drafting, and this area is I
Speaker 2: haven't picked here yet, and there was a reason that
Speaker 2: I wanted to choose it, and I just picked Paul Skeens,
Speaker 2: So that's kind of right around where I have in
Speaker 2: my rankings. I'll see how it works out for me strategyized.
Speaker 2: But I intentionally wanted to pick in this area to
Speaker 2: grab Paul Skins and see what kind of team I
Speaker 2: could build, going Skeens first.
Speaker 1: So going with the pitcher first, here the five y five.
Speaker 1: Now this is not a headhead, just a straight roto.
Speaker 1: Why Skemes in particular are not a guy like schoobl
Speaker 1: who you know, just saying has already gone out there
Speaker 1: and thrown a full compliment of innings, Just kind of curious.
Speaker 1: I know, Skiens is the number one guy, I get
Speaker 1: it on most people's boards, but School's number one online,
Speaker 1: So Skian's over school for you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just think Skeens is that next level
Speaker 2: of pitcher. And you're already seeing him like tinkering with
Speaker 2: like he was already like phenomenal as a rookie, and
Speaker 2: now there's talking about him, you know, working in two
Speaker 2: seamers and cutters and potentially even taking another step. And
Speaker 2: so I think you're just gonna get clear one oh
Speaker 2: one production out of that picture that you know pitcher.
Speaker 1: Spot Okay, next up here on the draft board we
Speaker 1: have in between, So I took Ellie to a Cruz,
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts, Jan Sodo, Paul Skeins to Mike Maher and
Speaker 1: then Vladimir Guerrero Junior goes. Then we have Joey Navarro go,
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker at won ten, one eleven, Gunnar Henderson, Joe
Speaker 1: Alrico on the clock here for two picks, Corb and
Speaker 1: Carol the first one, Francisco Lindor for the second one.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about those.
Speaker 6: Joe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not something I've done this year, but like
Speaker 4: I said, I haven't been out of the turn a lot.
Speaker 4: But I really like the pairing Lindor Joe. I don't
Speaker 4: need to sell you on Lindoor. He's a thirty thirty guy.
Speaker 4: That lineup is fantastic. Adding Soto to an already really
Speaker 4: great top of the order should only do wonders for him.
Speaker 4: When you're talking about Corbyn Carroll, he's another guy that
Speaker 4: I've been really interested in the back stuff in spring training.
Speaker 4: I think he's been dealing with a bit of a
Speaker 4: back problem, but it's not a huge concern as of
Speaker 4: right now. His second half was just so great last year.
Speaker 4: Hes still one hundred and twenty one, runs a great
Speaker 4: power speed base. The thing that I've left on the
Speaker 4: table here a little bit as batting average on. I
Speaker 4: need to make up for that in the next couple
Speaker 4: of rounds.
Speaker 1: Yes, you and me both. Alvarez goes at two to
Speaker 1: oh two, then Fernando Teti's junior two oh three, Scooble
Speaker 1: at two oh four. Mike Mayer, you selected Juli to Rodriguez,
Speaker 1: so that is your lynchpin bat Was that a tough decision, Julio,
Speaker 1: considering his inconsistencies and slow starts, and do you think
Speaker 1: he can put together a full six months of great Julio.
Speaker 6: I do it. It was a difficult decision.
Speaker 2: I did really think about taking Jackson Terio, but I
Speaker 2: have you know, I have several concerns. If you listened
Speaker 2: to me talk separately or recently, I've.
Speaker 1: Bet I try my best not to Jackson SiO.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what happened is right before that is what
Speaker 2: I really wanted to do. You know you asked me
Speaker 2: about taking Schooble. My hope was to maybe see if
Speaker 2: I can get both and take Schemes and Schooble.
Speaker 5: I was curious if you wanted to do pocket aces,
Speaker 5: if you would even play around with that that's interesting
Speaker 5: that you would.
Speaker 6: Have That's what I was thinking about trying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it didn't happen. Oh well, life goes on.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna continue to pound into the middle infield here
Speaker 1: with my next pick. So after you to Coulier Rodriguez,
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper goes at two o six, Jacksonurio at two
Speaker 1: o seven. I took Katel Marte, So I got power,
Speaker 1: I've got speed, I've got it all. Jared Durango's next
Speaker 1: at two to oh nine. I did think there for
Speaker 1: a moment or two while taking Wheeler. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I tend to wait on pitching, and I tend to
Speaker 1: like my rosters a lot more, so I'm gonna probably
Speaker 1: continue with that strategy. Jared Durant off the board at
Speaker 1: two oh nine, which leaves the Welsh at two ten.
Speaker 5: I am going to you know, I feel like seven
Speaker 5: Wheeler would be somebody that I would try to pull
Speaker 5: the trigger on. But I haven't taken a lot of
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman. The power's not quite there. A little bit
Speaker 5: of stolen bases, but tons of running RBI and really
Speaker 5: good batting average. Another thing that later in drafts sometime
Speaker 5: can get away from me a tiny bit, so Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge, pretty pretty good start. I definitely wanted sure
Speaker 5: your could tell Marte. So you you guys three of
Speaker 5: the two of the three picks leading up to me, just.
Speaker 1: Wat wap that so well out Micktunda and og Pete
Speaker 1: on Cracker Jack knows what they're doing there. I'm curious, Mayor,
Speaker 1: what were the concerns you had about Churio Just the
Speaker 1: fact that it's still, you know, only a one year
Speaker 1: sample size and really only three months of being a
Speaker 1: high level productivity.
Speaker 2: It's more it's more just the price tag for the uh,
Speaker 2: you know, for the production. We're projecting a lot, like
Speaker 2: you know, kind of like projecting him to take that
Speaker 2: next step.
Speaker 6: He was really good.
Speaker 2: He got off to a little bit of slow start
Speaker 2: and then they closed strong. But I just think the
Speaker 2: price tag is getting really high for that you know,
Speaker 2: production you're getting out of him. You know, there was
Speaker 2: a main event draft recently where he went in the
Speaker 2: first round. He went where I took Skens in a
Speaker 2: main event draft, and that's just too expensive for Jacksonia.
Speaker 1: All right. Jared Durand went at two oh nine then
Speaker 1: Freeman to Welshia ten, Zach Wheeler two eleven, Troy Turner
Speaker 1: to twelve at the three oh one turn, Logan Gilbert,
Speaker 1: then Jackson Merrill. So we have a couple of aces
Speaker 1: still off the board. Welsh you're up here with fifteen
Speaker 1: seconds on the clock at the three TOZHO three.
Speaker 5: So I was really sitting here thinking I was gonna
Speaker 5: take Jazz Chisholm. I'm gonna go with where I've gone
Speaker 5: a lot in these drafts and break co Rico's hard.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take Garrett Crochet. I want to get one
Speaker 5: of the I like one good pitcher in the top
Speaker 5: four rounds, and then I can wait a tiny bit.
Speaker 5: I've obviously been pretty big on him. If you guys
Speaker 5: watch the Fantasy Fest, you know my talks on him
Speaker 5: and even the bets in the first segment we talked
Speaker 5: about with him leading in strikeouts, this is the prime.
Speaker 5: I'm a third round Garrett Croche. Guy Jackson Merril might
Speaker 5: have made me think a little bit different, but I'm
Speaker 5: just not worried about chasing speed as much. Maybe keep
Speaker 5: my batting average a little bit and I keep up
Speaker 5: with the Joneses on the pitching side, So Garrett Crochet
Speaker 5: my third round pick.
Speaker 1: Okay Crochet, who goes next at three zero three? Jests
Speaker 1: chissem with three or four, and then I decided to
Speaker 1: say why not third round three oh five, Let's take
Speaker 1: Ronald of Counya. I'm playing for the last five months
Speaker 1: of the season. Hopefully I get him back in May.
Speaker 1: Can I find an outfielder for six weeks in April?
Speaker 1: Of course I can. The waiver wire will be plentiful.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of rondalcunia is going out there.
Speaker 1: So you got Acunya Marte de la Cruz starting my team.
Speaker 1: And it's a twelve team league, so I'm probably less
Speaker 1: apt to do this in fifteen Replacement values not as
Speaker 1: good in a twelve team or I'm all about it,
Speaker 1: and I think next week we have a ten team,
Speaker 1: maybe four min four and a half four and a half.
Speaker 1: Let's see. Give me Ronald of Codia. Matt Olsen goes
Speaker 1: next for Mactunda. Then we have Riley to Cete Mecmayor
Speaker 1: is up next at three oh eight.
Speaker 3: Mayor.
Speaker 1: What's the pick?
Speaker 3: Me?
Speaker 6: Well, I got it.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you I'm in shambles over here because
Speaker 2: my initial strategy was pocket Aces and see if I
Speaker 2: can go Skiings Scooble. The backup pocket Ace's strategy was
Speaker 2: to go skiens hitter and then see if I can
Speaker 2: get one of Wheeler, Logan, Gilbert or Crochet in the
Speaker 2: third round.
Speaker 6: That also fell through.
Speaker 2: And then my emergence, my break glassy gase of emergency
Speaker 2: option was Austin Riley, who just went to pick before me.
Speaker 2: And so now my just desperation pick is Raphael Devers
Speaker 2: and just hope that that shoulder is okay.
Speaker 1: Like it was this future dh Raffael Devers who just said,
Speaker 1: I believe yesterday, I'll play wherever the team wants me to.
Speaker 1: What a wonderful, beautiful moment there. It felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: I was pretty sure it was like a Bob Sagga
Speaker 1: came into his room and sat down and they played
Speaker 1: that music and he was like, hey, Raf, you know,
Speaker 1: how's it going, buddy? You know, I know, you know
Speaker 1: you love third base, but you know you're not the
Speaker 1: only one in this family.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that depend on you and
Speaker 1: count on you, and you know that just not feeling
Speaker 1: like third base, but yeah, you gotta let somebody else
Speaker 1: play third base once in a while, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: make you less a part of this family, okay, And
Speaker 1: then they hugged. It was beautiful. Raffaeld, Devers goes Corbyn,
Speaker 1: Burns goes next to Shamers. Then Navarro takes Machado Ozzy
Speaker 1: Albi's to Chewbacca at three eleven, Joe Rico on the
Speaker 1: clock for two picks. What'd you do?
Speaker 4: I locked down my ace in cole Rake and then
Speaker 4: I took one of the people who is the hype
Speaker 4: is getting completely out of control with in Spring and
Speaker 4: that's why at Langford. But he's been going on the
Speaker 4: second round in some rooms, getting him on the turn
Speaker 4: here like should he be going quite this early? Probably not,
Speaker 4: but on the turn this is the only chance I'm
Speaker 4: probably going to have for him. So I took my
Speaker 4: chance on one of my guys and Reagan's. The only
Speaker 4: thing that worries me about Reagan's is the loss in
Speaker 4: fastball velocity down the stretch last year, but I'm not
Speaker 4: as concerned about that as some other people are.
Speaker 1: Well after Reagan's goes and whyatt Langford goes to you too.
Speaker 1: So Langford in the fourth round seems like a good investment.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's about where you're going to have
Speaker 1: to take that plunge. Are you encourage at all what
Speaker 1: you've seen so far in spring training from Langford?
Speaker 4: Well, the slow start with the oblique is not what
Speaker 4: I really want to see. He's been playing well since
Speaker 4: he returned. You never want to see anybody getting injured
Speaker 4: in spring. But he's one of my guys this year
Speaker 4: for sure. And getting him lower than I think that
Speaker 4: generally speaking, he is going to go is something that
Speaker 4: I'm pretty happy with.
Speaker 3: Should he is?
Speaker 4: He the best player on the board there. I think
Speaker 4: the upside, combined with what he did in September makes
Speaker 4: it hard to pass up here.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you, Joey, it is awesome. Our tools are amazing.
Speaker 5: I love going up against AI and the robots when
Speaker 5: we do these drafts, but man, there is a notch.
Speaker 5: It is a notch up when we're going up against
Speaker 5: our great listeners that we filled up. If you guys
Speaker 5: haven't checked out Discord, that's so you can get a
Speaker 5: part of these mock drafts. These guys are brutal. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: this might happen to me, This might fall for me.
Speaker 5: Now everyone is brutal in this Joey, No.
Speaker 3: They are.
Speaker 1: So. Dylan sees Chris Sale two aces right out of
Speaker 1: Mike you and on to teams than Corey Seeger four
Speaker 1: or four to Chamres Mayor. I can guarantee you now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna failure draft because you took Michael Harris at
Speaker 1: four or five.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's perfect. That's the exact strategy I was going for.
Speaker 2: If I can get a bad draft from you, I
Speaker 2: know I'm in the right place.
Speaker 1: There you go Blake Snell, the guy that I was
Speaker 1: defaulting as my ace. He goes to ct squad Mctonda
Speaker 1: goes oneal cruise at four to seven. So I took
Speaker 1: pen A Lonzo at four oh eight. Give me some power,
Speaker 1: steals I can find steals. I have power. That's the trick.
Speaker 1: So Pete A Lownso is gonna give you that basically
Speaker 1: playing in another contract here potentially with that opt out
Speaker 1: love that situation there. Jacob deGrom goes way too soon
Speaker 1: afour or nine. They already said he's going to be
Speaker 1: on the IL. It's some point this year. If that
Speaker 1: doesn't make if you're warm and fuzzy, I don't know
Speaker 1: what does but I'm just not doing it, Like there's
Speaker 1: just not enough discount for me. When it comes to
Speaker 1: that guy, Welsh, you want closer here with Class A.
Speaker 1: So you are the first guy to take closer. You're
Speaker 1: leading the pack. How does it feel to be in front?
Speaker 5: It's an amazing feeling, Joe. It brightens my day, It
Speaker 5: lifts me up, and it carries me through the tough
Speaker 5: times of knowing that I have Class A. I just
Speaker 5: didn't like I love a lot that was sitting out there.
Speaker 5: There's a couple guys, it's a little early. Why not
Speaker 5: lockdown top closer with you know, maybe like slight risk
Speaker 5: in my pitching market with Garrett Crochet, But yeah, pull
Speaker 5: the trigger and hopefully that starts pushing some people. And
Speaker 5: James Wood just went.
Speaker 1: Okay, yep, James Would did just go. Altuve went before
Speaker 1: him at four eleven, William catrez a four twelve, James
Speaker 1: Would at the five oh one turn Venom up next
Speaker 1: at five o two. By the way, love everybody hanging
Speaker 1: out with us. Here. Mctunda was looking at the pocket
Speaker 1: aces and Dretta says, if I close my eyes, I
Speaker 1: see Bob Saggot. During that whole thing, so there you go.
Speaker 1: Bob Saggitt, by the way, absolutely hilarious, just saying, like,
Speaker 1: go watch the Bob Saggitt stand up if you've never
Speaker 1: watched you know, if you just watched the the Syrupe
Speaker 1: sweet Stuff on the Thank goodness, it's Friday old tgaif Stuff.
Speaker 6: Very different guy, very different, different guy.
Speaker 1: But hilarious. I think we could all agree. James Wood
Speaker 1: go as a five oh one, then five oh two,
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez, the Welsh, you went power with Brent Rooker
Speaker 1: at five three.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have no stolen bases right now. And you
Speaker 5: know this is actually a little bit of a different
Speaker 5: strategy than I've put together in most mocks. I usually
Speaker 5: do try to get some speed a little bit early on,
Speaker 5: but I'm going in with a real big power pull
Speaker 5: and batting average where I can, like with Freddy Freeman
Speaker 5: holding that up. So I'm going to put to test
Speaker 5: getting some of that speed a little bit later in
Speaker 5: Dragon that we've been preaching and talking about, but going
Speaker 5: for massive power with now Rooker, Judge and then obviously
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 1: Okay, after Rooker, Schwarber goes and I finally took a
Speaker 1: picture of five oh five Michael King, that's my first one.
Speaker 1: I was very tempted to take another bat, but and
Speaker 1: I doubt that bat. We'll make it back to me.
Speaker 1: We'll see five O six. Mactunda's up next.
Speaker 3: Mayor.
Speaker 1: You are two picks away. What's in the queue? What
Speaker 1: are you thinking about?
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about my draft is getting away from here
Speaker 2: because I'm not loving what's happening in front of me
Speaker 2: and what's happening with my picks, and so that's really
Speaker 2: what I'm thinking about. I also, I've gotten into this
Speaker 2: point in a lot of drafts recently where I kind
Speaker 2: of I need to.
Speaker 6: Take more bats.
Speaker 2: I want to take more bats, but I don't really
Speaker 2: love the value of the bats in this area, and
Speaker 2: so I start looking at like pictures and relievers like
Speaker 2: Welsh just did, and that might be where I have
Speaker 2: to go here just to kind of, you know, get
Speaker 2: get one of these elite closers, get ahead of that
Speaker 2: run and just lock in.
Speaker 6: That so that I don't have to worry about it later.
Speaker 5: So that's what the closer goes right in front of
Speaker 5: you too, Josh Hater. So that runs we're getting ready
Speaker 5: to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, luckily I can find saves.
Speaker 2: Luckily, I'm going to go with Devin Williams instead of
Speaker 2: Josh Hater who. On an upcoming episode of the cycle
Speaker 2: I think it's coming out today, Worm predicted that.
Speaker 6: Devin Williams is going to get some so young vot
Speaker 6: votes this year.
Speaker 1: Well, these are the ones that we can't hold you to, right,
Speaker 1: I believe that was the I mean, I'm just saying
Speaker 1: because I was gonna say, I'd love to try to
Speaker 1: hold you to that one, but I'm not going to
Speaker 1: do it. Every By the way, this is the comment
Speaker 1: of the chat. I guarantee you. Bob Saget steals all
Speaker 1: the scenes in half Banked one hundred percent half baked hilarious,
Speaker 1: uh fantastic, dirty work also underrated nineties comedies. In that
Speaker 1: same realm that that there's a night from the Blockbuster
Speaker 1: video you come home with half baked and dirty work.
Speaker 1: There's your there's your Friday night when you're you know,
Speaker 1: fourteen years.
Speaker 5: Old McDonald either dirt.
Speaker 1: Oh geez, Mike Maher couldn't take he wanted to pocket
Speaker 1: a says now he's got nothing. Oh, what an awful scenario.

Speaker 1: That's fantracks dot com slash Fantasy Pros and now back
Speaker 1: to the action. All right, Michael King goes at five
Speaker 1: oh five, and then you have Yamamoto at five oh six,
Speaker 1: Josh Hater, Devin Williams to Mike Mayer. So Williams now
Speaker 1: off the board. Adlie Rutchman at five oh nine. C
Speaker 1: j Abrams to Joe Navarro at five point ten, Chew
Speaker 1: Chewbacca takes Tiascar Hernandez. Joe Rico is getting in on
Speaker 1: the closer game here takes Mason Miller with his first pick. So, uh,
Speaker 1: apparently you fear the run of these elite closers, not me,
Speaker 1: not me, give me all the offense, and then you
Speaker 1: took a guy man. I was one of these guys.
Speaker 1: I was hoping to make it back to me. Lawrence
Speaker 1: Butler signed a big contract this offseason. I'm a believer.
Speaker 1: I was incredibly impressed by the running had last July
Speaker 1: August whatever that you know, six seven week span was
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Do you think here that Lawrence Butler has
Speaker 1: again the ability to now find a little bit more
Speaker 1: consistency at this major league level, because it looks like
Speaker 1: the Athletics think that that's the case.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, in one hundred and twenty five games
Speaker 4: last year, he had a one thirty WRC plus twenty
Speaker 4: two homers eighteen steals. He's getting a nice ballpark up grade.
Speaker 4: I like the A's this year. I think that they're
Speaker 4: a pretty decent team. Not that they're a great team,
Speaker 4: but there was an outside chance that they could be
Speaker 4: like a five hundred team, especially with that with that
Speaker 4: ballpark move they're pitching, leave something to be desired. But
Speaker 4: I locked down Mason Miller because I'm on the turn
Speaker 4: here and by the time it's going to come back
Speaker 4: to me, there's not going to be any of those
Speaker 4: top end closers, so I wanted to get at least
Speaker 4: one and then Butler.
Speaker 3: I think the upside is just phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Uh. You took two Athletics, I know too to back.
Speaker 5: As Guy las Vegas in the Sacramento Athletics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the first six rounds of a draft, back
Speaker 1: to back Athletics, Mike Goodness, times of change. Well, you
Speaker 1: took Rooker all right, after Butler goes at six point two,
Speaker 1: Shota Imanaga and then franber Valdez Christian Walker. Mike Mahyer,
Speaker 1: you went with another closer, Mike Mayer. We're putting a
Speaker 1: lot of faith there. In a balky shoulder of Raphael Devers,
Speaker 1: Michael Harris, who is underwhelming, and Julio Rodriguez. Is this
Speaker 1: the offense that uh that we were promised? I don't know.
Speaker 2: We're off the rails, Joe. We're throwing out the rundown.
Speaker 2: We're throwing out the strategy pocketas has failed us. We
Speaker 2: don't like our bats. We're going pocket closers and pocket
Speaker 2: I'm just going wild.
Speaker 6: We're going rogue here.
Speaker 1: I do it like pocket closers. Oh, there you go,
Speaker 1: Caution to the win. I can't wait to see. You'll
Speaker 1: probably win the draft. A plus for Mike Mayor, especially
Speaker 1: the DEV team. They love Mike Mayor. He is their
Speaker 1: favorite guy. Squad is up next. Bretton Doyle at six
Speaker 1: oh six, Aaron Nole at six oh seven to mctunda,
Speaker 1: Why had two guys I wanted? One was Butler, the
Speaker 1: other was Camonaro. Camon Aro made it back to me.
Speaker 1: So now my infield is Alonzo Camonaro, Marte Delacruz. My
Speaker 1: plan was going to build inside out here with all
Speaker 1: of my emotions, all of them intact. Uh. Clearly, Mike
Speaker 1: Mahyor is rage. I want to say Welsh, what emotion
Speaker 1: are you inside out? I assume it's like I mean,
Speaker 1: you're not joy.
Speaker 5: I could tell you definitely not joy. I might be
Speaker 5: a part of the new one, you know, where it's
Speaker 5: those confused anxiety, your anxiety. I'm anxiety?
Speaker 1: Is that what Rico too? You guys are going to
Speaker 1: share that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll take the anxiety one. I think that fits
Speaker 3: me pretty well well.
Speaker 1: I'm clearly joy because I got Junior Kevinaro. Andre's Munios
Speaker 1: goes next. Then Welsh up for six'. TEN i know
Speaker 1: he's coming up with the. Clock he Took Marcus. Simeon
Speaker 1: we'll talk about his two picks in a. Second George
Speaker 1: kirby at six' eleven despite some. Injury concerns then we
Speaker 1: end the sixth Round With marcelo azuna To A Black
Speaker 1: Raptor logan webb at seven, oh one Back to venom
Speaker 1: at seven. Oh, Two, so welsh You, got simeon really good.
Speaker 1: Value there in the last, five years has been a
Speaker 1: few players as Productive As. Marcus simeon so what are
Speaker 1: you expectations for him coming up?
Speaker 5: This, Year yeah i'm looking for that bounce back at
Speaker 5: the top of. The lineup it's such a great hitter
Speaker 5: friendly environment and get back to batting, for average hopefully
Speaker 5: not having, a crazy crazy swing in that, you know
Speaker 5: he'll have like a bad first half and then he
Speaker 5: just didn't bounce back in the second half was the.
Speaker 5: Main PROBLEM so i think it's a really. Good value
Speaker 5: he's one of my favorite second basemen. To HAVE and
Speaker 5: i am, up NOW and i kind Of, LIKE mary
Speaker 5: i don't like a lot of what's around here. Right
Speaker 5: now i'm gonna. Do, something yeah this is what we're. Gonna,
Speaker 5: do yeah this is. The, Ticket, yeah yeah that's what we're.
Speaker 5: Gonna do i'm going to corner a little bit of
Speaker 5: that first. BASE market i Already Have. Tody freeman i'm
Speaker 5: Gonna Take josh naylor to put in in. The corner
Speaker 5: love love the RBIs love love the bat so far
Speaker 5: this spring thirty plus homer and potential Especially in arizona
Speaker 5: and all those. Guys RUNNING so I Lost christian walker
Speaker 5: a little, bit Earlier but i'm gonna double stack those.
Speaker 5: First BASEMEN and I got arico shaking, his head just
Speaker 5: taking it away.
Speaker 3: From.
Speaker 4: HIM yeah i wouldn't have minded the first basement there,
Speaker 4: For sure but.
Speaker 3: That's okay we'll figure. It out.
Speaker 1: That's okay well you guys after, THE show i have no.
Speaker 5: Stolen bases by, THE way i it's it's gonna be
Speaker 5: AMAZING if i pull. This off it'll Be amaz.
Speaker 1: Looking at the categories, Right, now welsh you are at
Speaker 1: nine projected, right now second.
Speaker 3: To last.
Speaker 5: That's amazing i'm even not.
Speaker 1: The, worst well there's, still time. Don't worry, all right next,
Speaker 1: up here, all right starting pitchers on the. Board again
Speaker 1: i'm just kind of meh on. These guys you guys
Speaker 1: took all. These closers what means there's lots of bats
Speaker 1: here remaining, For Me and i'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: take a bounce back That In, luis robert who's, got
Speaker 1: power who's, got speed and hopefully has a ticket out
Speaker 1: Of The white sox clubhouse in the. Months Ahead so
Speaker 1: i'm loving. This offense get the pitching. Going soon we'll
Speaker 1: see how. That goes but this draft bought me some
Speaker 1: time because all these closers. That Went because i'm somebody
Speaker 1: who drafts closer, LATER anyway i am banking on again
Speaker 1: those PICTURES that i would have liked in the seventh
Speaker 1: round getting pushed to the eighth ROUND and I think
Speaker 1: i'm in a good. Spot there, we'll see might have
Speaker 1: to double tap of. The arms we, come, back Right
Speaker 1: so iglesias? Another, closer, Boom good all these. CLOSERS go
Speaker 1: i hope they start. Taking catchers next squad is up
Speaker 1: next in seven oh seven MAYOR can i interest you in?
Speaker 1: Another closer would you like to go for three? Aces
Speaker 1: here maybe a? FULL house i, Don't.
Speaker 6: Know probably not gonna. Go closer the top of my
Speaker 6: queue right Now Is.
Speaker 2: Tyler, GLASS now i don't KNOW if i can really
Speaker 2: go that risk with his injury risk and with you
Speaker 2: know What the dodgers might do with their starting pitchers,
Speaker 2: This Year so i'm.
Speaker 6: Probably not going To Go tyler. GLASS now i think
Speaker 6: Instead what i'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna DO and i don't really love what we just
Speaker 2: talked about Earlier About rafael devers and that he's kind
Speaker 2: of accepting BEING, at DH because i Really Like alex bregman,
Speaker 2: this year and the BIGGEST thing i Like About alex
Speaker 2: bregman is that he is supposed to have second. Base
Speaker 2: eligibility But If rafael devers is just going to BE
Speaker 2: the dh and we don't Get That alex bregman second.
Speaker 2: BASE eligibility i like him a little, bit Less so
Speaker 2: i'm hoping we get some second base eligibility early in.
Speaker 6: The, Season here.
Speaker 1: Well you could. Hope Away luis castillo at seven, O
Speaker 1: seven bregman at seven oh Eight To. Mike mayer so
Speaker 1: already disappointed and it hasn't even. Begun yet chalmers, up
Speaker 1: Next Takes max freed at seven, Oh nine hellsley at seven.
Speaker 1: To Ten glass now is still floating. AROUND there i was.
Speaker 1: WITH you i almost Took glass, now too but it's so,
Speaker 1: hard man a guy who just never throws one hundred and.
Speaker 1: Fifty innings it's, so tempting and just every year he.
Speaker 1: GETS hurt i thought last year, was like, all right
Speaker 1: you're On. The dodgers everything seemed healthy, going in and
Speaker 1: then again just continues to end in misery every. Single
Speaker 1: year hopefully these picks won't end a Misery For joe
Speaker 1: rico at, The turn hellsley goes at seven, to Ten
Speaker 1: Then mark viento's at seven. To Eleven joe rico goes
Speaker 1: Home With. Anthony santander, big power good lineup like that pick.
Speaker 1: A lot it Was between Robert and santander, for me
Speaker 1: And Then spencer schwellenbach Just stabs, welsh right not in, the,
Speaker 1: back right in, the front top Of, jo rico Top.
Speaker 1: Ce jorgo Robert and santantero are going very CLOSE. In
Speaker 1: adp both had miserable batting averages. Last year obviously a
Speaker 1: bad Season, for robert bad season For The, white sox
Speaker 1: but two Years ago robert hitting thirty plus, home runs.
Speaker 1: Stealing bases he brings that Element where santander. Does not
Speaker 1: those two guys on, the board who do you prefer
Speaker 1: in twenty? Twenty five Robert?
Speaker 4: OR santander i don't usually, draft EITHER but I think
Speaker 4: i Could go sartaine der a lot of. The time
Speaker 4: he feels a lot safe, for like the situation With
Speaker 4: The white sox is. Just miserable it's actually gotten. Worse
Speaker 4: somehow it has gotten worse from. Last YEAR so i
Speaker 4: don't Know That luis robert is going to be much
Speaker 4: different than what we saw over the stretch. Last season
Speaker 4: there's a chance that he's able to, bounce BACK but
Speaker 4: i think that really would only come with. A trade
Speaker 4: he's going to be the only major league worthy player in.
Speaker 4: THAT lineup i just can't see him coming into camp
Speaker 4: being motivated, this year coming in as his best self
Speaker 4: for any of. THAT stuff i just think that there's
Speaker 4: a lot of risk. With him can he get back
Speaker 4: to where he was? For Sure but i'm kind of
Speaker 4: praying that he gets traded to Like the astros or
Speaker 4: something that would be a dream destination.
Speaker 3: For fantasy they. NEED outfielders I think i think that what.
Speaker 1: Makes, SENSE yes i Love That tyler glass on, A
Speaker 1: Two brian reynolds At Three, riley green a little run there,
Speaker 1: of outfielders And Then mike, maher says stop. That run
Speaker 1: i've got In fielder matt mclan. McLain's one i'm Buying.
Speaker 1: Into mayor this seems like a pretty good value IN
Speaker 1: a eto five and a guy who was in Conversations for
Speaker 1: rookie Of the year two years ago when he.
Speaker 6: Was, healthy yeah That's what i'm.
Speaker 2: HOPING for i think you're getting injury discount, this year
Speaker 2: and if, you know if he produces and stays healthy
Speaker 2: the way, he can you know you're getting a three
Speaker 2: or four run discount on him.
Speaker 1: This season, All right next up here We Have, Luis Garcia,
Speaker 1: royce lewis and then it's. TO me i have a
Speaker 1: chance to do something very. Entertaining here the question IS
Speaker 1: do i have the guts to. DO it i think
Speaker 1: the answer, is no at least. Not yet At least
Speaker 1: i'm not quite there at. This moment i'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and take some more PITCHING because i think that's
Speaker 1: probably the more prudent thing. To Do draft wizard is
Speaker 1: Telling Me. BRYCE miller I Like, bryce MILLER but I
Speaker 1: Like hunter. Brown more, I'm sorry I'm Going hunter, brown
Speaker 1: HERE and i got to continue to pound the pitching
Speaker 1: pavement a little. Bit more and that's not just. Good
Speaker 1: alliteration that is a way. Of life miller goes next
Speaker 1: at eight. Oh Nine the welsh is up at. A,
Speaker 1: ten yeah.
Speaker 5: THAT well i was Gonna Take, bryce MILLER so. I
Speaker 5: want i definitely wanted to take at least one, pitcher
Speaker 5: here and you guys just kind of depleted the market,
Speaker 5: of that which is. Un fortunate so we are gonna
Speaker 5: push OVER and i don't usually. Take him i'm gonna
Speaker 5: Go With, freddy peralta get a few. More striking oh
Speaker 5: THAT'S what i was.
Speaker 1: Gonna do nice GOOD job i would have GONE.
Speaker 6: With, i actually.
Speaker 5: Good trade Give Me bryce miller if you Didn't Take.
Speaker 5: Bryce miller i'll broke her a three. Way deal that's what.
Speaker 1: We'll do figure.
Speaker 5: IT out i wanted just some like consistent innings to.
Speaker 5: PUSH up, i mean peralta great first half kind of.
Speaker 5: FALLS apart i need him to stay HEALTHY because i
Speaker 5: have like just, the tiny it'sy bitsy little bit of
Speaker 5: injury risk going on or innings Risk With garrett crochet that,
Speaker 5: Like Earlier logan webb was like THE pitcher i wanted
Speaker 5: earlier in THIS and i didn't. Get HIM so i
Speaker 5: need to keep stacking. This up and still, no speed
Speaker 5: just still.
Speaker 1: No speed the slow team For the, Welsh here I've
Speaker 1: took biby out from. Under me, ah yeah jerk terrible.
Speaker 1: Right There so. BIBY gone i was hoping he would
Speaker 1: make it back. To me Love That. Cleveland Bullpen felix
Speaker 1: fatista goes next at nine.
Speaker 3: Oh One.
Speaker 1: Cody bellinger, Venom, Up welsh you are on, deck here
Speaker 1: so what are you? Looking at we?
Speaker 5: ARE venom i am Looking to it's. MY venom i
Speaker 5: can't do a lot. OF impressions i can do weird,
Speaker 5: sounding meat well you.
Speaker 1: Do weird you do strange impression like ones that people
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily be.
Speaker 5: Meat Wad From Aquitan hunger Force and venom IS what i.
Speaker 5: Can Do so i'm very proud. Of myself, all right just. That,
Speaker 5: curate yeah THAT'S how i. Got hired, they're, like oh
Speaker 5: we don't have, all right we are Going to we're
Speaker 5: going to try to lower some of. The ratio we're
Speaker 5: gonna Go With. JOE ryan I will i'll just say it.
Speaker 5: OUT loud i was Thinking About, hunter GREEN but i
Speaker 5: don't need to chase. The strikeouts i'm trying to maybe
Speaker 5: lower some walks and nine walk per a nine percent.
Speaker 5: WALK guy i wanted to move around from a, little
Speaker 5: Bit So joe ryan to double tap.
Speaker 1: Some, SPS yeah i, am man this is really TOUGH
Speaker 1: because i Really like GREEN and i Really, like gallon
Speaker 1: and there's no way both of them make it back.
Speaker 1: To me i'm already pretty good over on the. Strikeout
Speaker 1: side but, YOU know i just Feel Like zach gallen
Speaker 1: just does not get enough credit that there was a
Speaker 1: IT was i don't know a year ago where we
Speaker 1: were drafting this guy as an. Number one maybe two.
Speaker 1: YEARS ago, i mean, come, on man like this dude
Speaker 1: still has a lot. Of ability, last year very, STRONG
Speaker 1: season i know he only threw one hundred and forty,
Speaker 1: eight innings but still a three, six era a one two,
Speaker 1: six whip one hundred and fifty, six strikeouts one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty, eight innings well over at k, per nine
Speaker 1: and he has a great offense. Around him So A
Speaker 1: hunter green very very, tempting there But again i'm just
Speaker 1: gonna go with the GUY that i think is just
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit. More dependable year eight
Speaker 1: Year Route sonny gray also, still available was another guy
Speaker 1: that was right on that border of intriguing to me.
Speaker 1: As well so trying to get the pitching staff together
Speaker 1: here after To Recap cody bellinger at nine, oh one
Speaker 1: will Start, over Venom took ober at nine, Oh Two
Speaker 1: joe ryan at nine, Oh three costas at nine. Oh
Speaker 1: FOUR then I Took, zach Gallon says azuki to mctunda
Speaker 1: Squad took diaz One Catcher mike mayer at nine. Oh
Speaker 1: eight what are you?
Speaker 6: Gonna do i'm gonna do something.
Speaker 2: Bad here i'm going to do Something that i'm doing
Speaker 2: in a lot, of DRAFTS and i think this is a.
Speaker 2: Real draft can afford to do IT because i already
Speaker 2: have too much. Of him I'm Taking Mike, Trout gay i'm.
Speaker 5: GOING nuts i almost did For not i'm kicking myself
Speaker 5: or not just taking IT where I Took. JOE ryan
Speaker 5: i should Have taken, TROUT there.
Speaker 1: I was i Was contemplating Trout and i'm, just like
Speaker 1: for what for another? Six weeks AND then i, get
Speaker 1: miserable LIKE and i, WAS like i Already, GOT robert
Speaker 1: i Got. A kunya THAT'S when i made. THAT comment
Speaker 1: i could do something really, fun Here But i'm i'm
Speaker 1: not gonna. Do it that was. The thing, SO look
Speaker 1: i get it WHEN you're i Think For mike mahyer's
Speaker 1: build with his, million closers this makes sense because you
Speaker 1: need to make up, grounded offense you might as well
Speaker 1: take a Shot With. Mike trout but, realistically speaking at
Speaker 1: thirty three, years old a guy who never plays full
Speaker 1: seasons at, this stage what would Your ex what does
Speaker 1: A Good mike trout's season look Like For mike mahyer.
Speaker 2: One hundred and thirty games and forty, home runs that's my.
Speaker 2: Bold prediction it's just can we? Get there because that's the,
Speaker 2: games like because he has in the.
Speaker 1: Same World Where devin Williams Is. Cy young i'm, just, curious,
Speaker 1: LIKE well.
Speaker 2: I mean he just hasn't done that in. Five years
Speaker 2: he's done forty home runs within the last. Five years
Speaker 2: he only played one hundred. Nineteen games but That's what i'm,
Speaker 2: hoping for is forty home runs Out Of. Mike trout
Speaker 2: it's just it's so late that it's just a, you
Speaker 2: know it's a. Dart throw you're swinging for the fences
Speaker 2: and if it hits like you could win, your league.
Speaker 1: You could and that brings us To Our chasing challenges
Speaker 1: segment brought to You. By microsoft just like, the athletes
Speaker 1: to push boundaries and redefine, what's possible business decision makers
Speaker 1: today are turning challenges, into Opportunities and microsoft meets you
Speaker 1: there with the tools and guidance to help you make

Speaker 1: facing microsoft empowers you with the expertise, to say bring.
Speaker 1: It on and in, this segment we're going to talk
Speaker 1: a little bit More About mike trout because it is
Speaker 1: extremely tempting To Take mike trout in the ninth, round
Speaker 1: nowadays or even the. Tenth round if he lasts, that
Speaker 1: long it's hard to Forget The mike trout of the
Speaker 1: well twenty fourteen to twenty, eighteen era maybe even. Twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen we'll throw that one in. There too a guy
Speaker 1: who's sitting forty, home runs stealing twenty five thirty bases,
Speaker 1: every year hitting over. Three hundred but the sad fact
Speaker 1: is since, twenty twenty the guy has had a high
Speaker 1: of one hundred and nineteen games played in, the season
Speaker 1: and we would kill for one hundred and. TWENTY games
Speaker 1: i feel like this year Out Of, mike trout and
Speaker 1: that is the challenge here With, the angels because they
Speaker 1: were an organization that continues to look at where they
Speaker 1: are financially and what they've. Invested, In Unfortunately mike trout
Speaker 1: would have to have a career kind of season for
Speaker 1: them to even try to get out of. HIS contract
Speaker 1: I think i speak for all of US when I
Speaker 1: say i'd love To See mike trout playing on a
Speaker 1: contender and meaningful baseball at some point before his career is.
Speaker 1: Completely gone will we? SEE that i, don't know but
Speaker 1: a full healthy Season Of, mike trout or at least
Speaker 1: a full three months Of Healthy, mike trout could go a.
Speaker 1: Long way perhaps a contender would be looking to take.
Speaker 1: That plunge and that is This Week's chasing challenger Segment.

Speaker 1: but that's got to be very encouraging looking forward to
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five season when it Comes To, robbie
Speaker 1: ray yeah.
Speaker 2: FOR sure i mean, with him you always know you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Get strikeouts the problem is you don't know what else you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna get but there are some really encouraging signs and
Speaker 2: some good reports coming out where he's kind of working
Speaker 2: with some other pitchers on some of his, other pitches
Speaker 2: and then he could kind of look a little bit
Speaker 2: different in a really good situation.
Speaker 1: This year, All right next up here we have, let's
Speaker 1: see let's bring up the. Draft Board So, Robbie, ray
Speaker 1: well She Took christian yelich at, ten Ten sal perez at,
Speaker 1: ten Eleven Then spencer schreider did go at the turn eleven,
Speaker 1: Oh One black raptor starts off eleven Round With. Matt,
Speaker 1: chapman well She Took, christian yelich a, little surprising and
Speaker 1: again it's kind, of like is it easy the Poor
Speaker 1: Man's mike trout at? This, point right if you can't
Speaker 1: have all the, you know stunning Upside Of, mike trout
Speaker 1: you take the mid level Upside Of christian yelich at,
Speaker 1: this point that's.
Speaker 5: EXACTLY right i, mean yeah really kind of a poor
Speaker 5: man's version. Of that, but yeah twenty twenty potential needs some,
Speaker 5: stolen bases some more outfield. TO help I think i've
Speaker 5: taken a lot of good core players and having taken
Speaker 5: on a ton, Of Risk so i'm pretty happy. With that,
Speaker 5: but boy the cues are just getting.
Speaker 1: Demolished, here yeah it's a, good room that's. For sure
Speaker 1: i've got the PICTURE that i. Still want he was
Speaker 1: my Fallback after. ALCONTRAT McClanahan i was hoping to get
Speaker 1: all of. Those Guys dylan cruz goes To the. Welsh here,
Speaker 1: all right, prospect guru let's Talk About. Dylan cruz your
Speaker 1: projections for him?
Speaker 5: This, SEASON yeah i, mean well if even outside of
Speaker 5: my projections most, PROJECTION systems I believe atc is the
Speaker 5: one that has him almost as a fifteen to thirty guy.
Speaker 5: THIS year i think it's, eighteen homers thirty. Stolen bases
Speaker 5: he's going to be hitting near the top of. The
Speaker 5: lineup there's just big power across. The, fields yeah we
Speaker 5: got to watch some, strikeout Issues but i've got him
Speaker 5: inside the top. ONE hundred i think he's gonna score
Speaker 5: a ton of runs being at the. Top there so good.
Speaker 5: OVERALL complimentary i went back to. Back outfielders this system
Speaker 5: probably not gonna like, love it. Love IT but i
Speaker 5: also didn't really love a ton of the players that
Speaker 5: we're sitting, out THERE and I think i screwed up
Speaker 5: Doing The Peralta joe. RYAN stuff i FEEL like i
Speaker 5: would HAVE if i would Have taken trout Instead. OF
Speaker 5: ryan i feel like there's a decent amount of the
Speaker 5: same type of pitchers. SITTING around i feel like that
Speaker 5: would have been a much like in the what if
Speaker 5: we give that at the end of, the draft we give, the,
Speaker 5: like hey what if you had done this and stuff.
Speaker 5: Like that that's my what if.
Speaker 1: Right, now okay let's continue. On Here After ezekiel, TOVAR
Speaker 1: goes i took Another Picture brian wu having a really
Speaker 1: nice spring and certainly a favorable. BALLPARK situation wu, last
Speaker 1: year to, his credit twenty, two games one hundred and,
Speaker 1: twenty innings and one hundred and, one strikeouts a two
Speaker 1: eight AND, nine era a point nine. ZERO whip i
Speaker 1: had to lower the era and whip a. LITTLE bit
Speaker 1: I think wu goes a long way, in that and
Speaker 1: hopefully he can give me a full thirty start in twenty.
Speaker 1: Twenty five Randy rose arena goes Next. TO mattunda i
Speaker 1: think a really good value there for mc ian happ
Speaker 1: to squad at eleven. Oh seven And, then mayor you very.
Speaker 1: Savvy here move You took william, Excuse Me wilson contreras,
Speaker 1: at catcher but he's going to be playing. First base
Speaker 1: you get AN. EXTRA abs i, See You, mike mayor you. Sneaky.
Speaker 6: Snake you that's exactly what we're.
Speaker 2: Going for we're looking for, catcher eligibility but a lot more.
Speaker 2: At BATS so, I was i've been going back. And
Speaker 2: forth the one thing we can do that's Great On
Speaker 2: draft wizard And the draft assistant here IS that i
Speaker 2: can use my own. Cheat sheet But then i'm going
Speaker 2: back and forth to LOOKING at ecr to see what
Speaker 2: other people might, be ranking and, it's seeing, you KNOW
Speaker 2: am i going too.
Speaker 6: Early on one of?
Speaker 2: THESE players i did go a little bit Earli On
Speaker 2: mike TROUT because i wanted to. Get Him With, wilson
Speaker 2: contreras catcher's. Drying up a, little BIT and i locked
Speaker 2: in a guy who's going to play first base and
Speaker 2: be in the lineup almost.
Speaker 1: Every, day mary you have it. All right let's move
Speaker 1: on here to the. Next Selections, After Contreras, ryan walker
Speaker 1: another closer Goes. To shamer navarro's. Up Next. Joe rico
Speaker 1: you're sitting in the hole for two, picks here so
Speaker 1: let's talk about what is out there for you and
Speaker 1: what you might be looking to do with these two
Speaker 1: picks of.
Speaker 4: The turn it's not a heck of a lot left after.
Speaker 4: The spround it's every time these guys like they're. Killing
Speaker 4: me they're absolutely. Killing Me, RYAN walker i mean We're
Speaker 4: we're mayor. Kills Me With wilson contreras And Then. RYAN
Speaker 4: walker i also wanted a, Second Closer. IAN hap i
Speaker 4: Always Love Ian happ, like this this, is brutal this is.
Speaker 4: Really Rude so i'm going To Take xander bogarts and lockdown.
Speaker 4: Stecond base he's a good, roto player he's. Very balanced
Speaker 4: and then with a, SECOND pick i am going to
Speaker 4: have to scramble a little bit HERE and i am
Speaker 4: going TO take i am going to take a, STARTING pitcher,
Speaker 4: i Think and i'm going to Go With.
Speaker 5: JACK flaherty i answer one thing real quick With. Yeas
Speaker 5: Sports On, wilson contreras is there risk that he loses. Catcher,
Speaker 5: availability no he can't lose it. In season it is
Speaker 5: a if you don't, use it you, lose it but
Speaker 5: it is for the. Following Season So wilson contreras will
Speaker 5: lose it, long term but he's not going to lose
Speaker 5: his catcher eligibility. This year that's what's so nice about.
Speaker 1: Drafting, him yeah And then mike. Cast two, When drafting
Speaker 1: i'm using the opposite Advice. From seinfeld if every instinct
Speaker 1: you have, is wrong then the opposite would have to.
Speaker 1: Be right. That's Right george costanza had a very brief
Speaker 1: window of success with, that strategy so it sounds like
Speaker 1: something that is that something you can Turn? Draft wizard
Speaker 1: can you Go full costanza on one of? THE settings i,
Speaker 1: Gotta look mayor's gonna ask the. Dev team i'm.
Speaker 5: Sure after, this shit it'd be a great. News setting,
Speaker 5: it's like how would you like? Your draft you want
Speaker 5: to Draft Like points Roto WITH yahoo's cbs Or Is
Speaker 5: george costanza that'd?
Speaker 1: Be great you go nimo at one excuse me eleven.
Speaker 1: To ten he's back on. The field are forgetting a knee?
Speaker 1: Gel injection that sounds like a. Good Time jared jones
Speaker 1: at eleven Eleven, To Chewy, Joe Rico's ander Bogart's And
Speaker 1: Jack flaherty your thoughts on these.
Speaker 4: Two PICKS so I like boguards for the balance he Provides.
Speaker 4: In rodo he's not as flashy for head to, head
Speaker 4: Players but i'm gonna probably.
Speaker 3: Get seventeen eighteen, home runs.
Speaker 4: Probably double digital, in bases decent, batting average good counting
Speaker 4: stats in, that lineup And Then, Jack, FLARERITY like i
Speaker 4: wonder what version of him exactly we are going to
Speaker 4: get this year because he wasn't quite as good once
Speaker 4: he went To, the dodgers but he's going Back to
Speaker 4: detroit where he was absolutely brilliant cy young worthy pitcher.
Speaker 4: Last Season so i'm kind of buying back into him
Speaker 4: being reunited with his pitching coach and hoping that he
Speaker 4: can repeat that magic we saw in the first half
Speaker 4: of twenty.
Speaker 1: Twenty, Four Okay will smith goes at twelve, Oh Two
Speaker 1: alec bohm at twelve, Oh three terrang at twelve, Oh
Speaker 1: Four jason Dominguez To, Mike, mayer now this is a
Speaker 1: guy who's actually having a pretty good. Spring here hopefully it'll.
Speaker 1: Carry Over jason dominguez maybe a guy we have a
Speaker 1: little prospect fatigue. Of thought he is certainly in a
Speaker 1: situation where he's an everyday, player now and it, feels like,
Speaker 1: you know this is his moment to shine your Thoughts
Speaker 1: on dominguez and your expectations for him.
Speaker 6: This, season, YEAH absolutely i think. YOU'RE right i think
Speaker 6: there's some.
Speaker 2: Prospect fatigue go back and check Out The, fantasy fest
Speaker 2: which we just did the. Other day we had a
Speaker 2: Segment With, eric cross who's, you know Just, like welsh
Speaker 2: really good with, these PROSPECTS and i Talked About jason
Speaker 2: dominguez there and JUST saying i think we're getting a
Speaker 2: really big discount on him based on, you know we're
Speaker 2: forgetting this guy is a top prospect. In BASEBALL and
Speaker 2: i talked Earlier About jackson curio AND how I know i,
Speaker 2: like HIM but i don't like the. PRICE tag i
Speaker 2: think this is a world where You get jacksoniro production
Speaker 2: Out Of jason diminguez ten eleven, rounds.
Speaker 1: Later, all Right After jason dominguez goes You Have, Xavier
Speaker 1: Edwards anthony vault be a little prospect the runner young
Speaker 1: players run AT least i took at At least garcia
Speaker 1: at twelve. OH eight i need some more RBIs according
Speaker 1: to my categories and, projections here which IS what. I
Speaker 1: love so you could see the pick predictor you can see.
Speaker 1: The categories you could see the. Projects too so in
Speaker 1: these five x five rtal leagues where you're trying to
Speaker 1: get those counting stats, in alignment it's a great tool
Speaker 1: to be able to. See That gavin williams goes next to. Market,
Speaker 1: eight dude somebody's been watching. The shows Pete cREL armstrong To.
Speaker 1: The welsh terrible start to, the season nice flourish at,
Speaker 1: the end we'll see what Peak cREL. Armstrong Is spencer
Speaker 1: steeer goes at, twelve eleven, twelve twelve end of the.
Speaker 1: Twelfth Round black raptor is. Up, next well let's talk
Speaker 1: about Peek cREL armstrong while we wait for it to
Speaker 1: come back.
Speaker 5: TO you I Wanted xavier edwards more than you. Guys
Speaker 5: know it was my whole plan and he went and
Speaker 5: it was just DEVASTATING because i went, such heavy heavy
Speaker 5: power early in the draft to get forty plus stolen
Speaker 5: bases with batting average. And runs that one really really.
Speaker 5: Killed me and that pick right There Of tanner scott was.
Speaker 5: THE backup i literally, Was like i'm Gonna Take xavier
Speaker 5: Edwards And. Tanner scott no one's going to be. On
Speaker 5: it so just brutal. Blows There But pete crows had
Speaker 5: a fantastic spring. Powers up still bases, are there he's hitting.
Speaker 5: For average it's a pretty. GOOD compliment i just didn't
Speaker 5: outfield isn't like a huge need for me, Right now.
Speaker 1: Joey, Understandable OKAY so i was Looking at, SCOTT too,
Speaker 1: i thought but, you know the frustrating Thing With tanner
Speaker 1: scott is again we're not guaranteed he saves all, the
Speaker 1: games and, YOU know i Feel like roberts is gonna
Speaker 1: use him in spots where he just wants to get
Speaker 1: tough lefties out the, eighth inning and that's gonna irritate
Speaker 1: a lot. Of People grayson rodriguez Goes next welsh at thirteen,
Speaker 1: oh three got five seconds left on. The clock what's the?
Speaker 1: Selection here you soob you took my guy right out from.
Speaker 1: Under me carlos rodon can we go backwards and. Redo
Speaker 1: that i'd like to redo that.
Speaker 5: It was the right pick then to make it, Was upset,
Speaker 5: BUT yeah, i mean, YOU know I. TOOK crochet i
Speaker 5: waited quite a bit. ON pitching i definitely Don't think
Speaker 5: i'm lagging behind or anything, like THAT but i missed
Speaker 5: this incredible run that you guys all. Just destroyed, the
Speaker 5: McClanahan The, al Contras The, jared jones some of my,
Speaker 5: favorite PITCHERS and i really live. IN that i guess
Speaker 5: you would call, it like well round are we? In
Speaker 5: thirteen like that ten to twelve or nine to twelve range.
Speaker 5: Of pitchers there's so many, good ONES and i just
Speaker 5: kind of missed out. On IT so i gotta play
Speaker 5: where there's some value and pick it. Back Up So
Speaker 5: carlos radon was a pretty easy.
Speaker 6: PICK there i.
Speaker 1: Had to pivot There to senga as my other pitcher.
Speaker 1: Choice THERE so i actually like this Pitching Staff, Michael King,
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown, Zach Allen. Wu senga it's kind of like
Speaker 1: The no. Ace staff it's like the opposite Of What
Speaker 1: mike maher was trying. To build just a lot of
Speaker 1: guys and go out there and give you some good
Speaker 1: starts and hopefully that's enough to be competitive in this five,
Speaker 1: by five but it's got some, strikeout potential AND so i.
Speaker 1: Like That colton cowser goes in between Me and welsh
Speaker 1: at thirteen, OH four I took sega at thirteen. Oh
Speaker 1: five gosman was the guy who was going back and Forth,
Speaker 1: Between welsh Gossman or senga. This year who do. YOU
Speaker 1: prefer I know senga had some, health Issues but gosman
Speaker 1: had some performance issues, last year and it's not the
Speaker 1: kind that can fix with that.
Speaker 5: Little, PILL yeah i think that's actually really tough ONE
Speaker 5: because I think I think senga is like stuff from
Speaker 5: the strikeout. Potentials BETTER but I think gossman might be
Speaker 5: just more of that innings eater and if he kind,
Speaker 5: of refined if that splitter is, splitting again then, you
Speaker 5: know he might kind of get back. INTO form i
Speaker 5: kind of to be honest with you WITH how, I
Speaker 5: draft I think gossman is more of the Pick because
Speaker 5: i'm gonna take some of my risk on some of
Speaker 5: those sps, early on whether it Is a crochet Or
Speaker 5: de gram or even picking up Like A hunter green
Speaker 5: in a. BAD ballpark i Just think gosman kind of
Speaker 5: like brings down the risk factor a. Bit Much And MIKE,
Speaker 5: mayor uso b.
Speaker 1: We got a weiss here with, a question got a.
Speaker 1: Keeper question i'm In between Langford, and duran not sure
Speaker 1: which to keep out of. The two let's, Go Roundtable,
Speaker 1: mike mayor let's start. With you doesn't look like any.
Speaker 1: Strings attached would you rather have rest Of Career. Langford
Speaker 1: duran i'd Rather.
Speaker 6: Have DURAN but i don't think he can go wrong with.
Speaker 1: EITHER pick I think duran is a safer one. Right
Speaker 1: now langford has. More UPSIDE but i kind of like
Speaker 1: the Floor. Of, duran welsh where are?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 5: AT yeah I, GOT duran i got A, man ah you,
Speaker 5: Know what i'm gonna Go with langford ACTUALLY because i
Speaker 5: Would saying, I'm redraft I've. GOT duran I got Ran
Speaker 5: and langford like right next to next to each other.
Speaker 5: In dynasty if it's a, short Keeper maybe duran in
Speaker 5: a short period. Of time if it's a long, TERM
Speaker 5: dynasty i kind of would wait it Out. For langford
Speaker 5: it is super super.
Speaker 1: Close opinion that's two to One. On Duran, joe rico
Speaker 1: you can either blow this out of, the water or
Speaker 1: Make wiser hood.
Speaker 4: Really miserable i'm gonna even up. The score i'm gonna
Speaker 4: also go for Why. AT langford i don't think there's
Speaker 4: a massive. GAP here i just think if you're looking
Speaker 4: at all, five categories you're gonna get MORE of Rbi.
Speaker 4: FROM langford i think the batting average is gonna, be
Speaker 4: comparable the power is gonna be Better.
Speaker 3: WITH langford i think the lineup is Better. With langford
Speaker 3: so that's.
Speaker 4: My PICK but i don't think this is a you
Speaker 4: can flip. A, coin essentially it's.
Speaker 3: VERY close i.
Speaker 1: Can't believe i'm in the SPOT where i have to
Speaker 1: Agree With. Mike mayor you put that. On me, you
Speaker 1: guys guys are the worst chambiss. Up here i'm going
Speaker 1: to tend team six person. Keeper league I'm Keeping, Carol Churio, Merril,
Speaker 1: camanio ADLEY and I believe Crochet. NOT grochet i rebuilt
Speaker 1: last year AND now i have the first three three first,
Speaker 1: round picks five in the second and in the second and.
Speaker 1: Third round WHO should i attack in? The, draft well
Speaker 1: this is always tricky because you don't know. Who's Available But,
Speaker 1: jo rico you want to take this? One here what
Speaker 1: would be. The strategy if You're Keeping, Carol Churio Merril,
Speaker 1: Camanaroo adley you've got one big picture. In crochet where
Speaker 1: do you think you would?
Speaker 4: Go next it depends on where these, picks are like,
Speaker 4: you said and who's available these three first. Round picks
Speaker 4: if they're at, the front if theyre at, the back
Speaker 4: it does change things a. Little bit i'm personally probably
Speaker 4: gonna take another. Picture here you have such a great,
Speaker 4: offensive base and you do have an, ace Already but
Speaker 4: i'm personally probably gonna take, another ace maybe even two
Speaker 4: more because like you have such solid five. Category production
Speaker 4: maybe you could boost the batting average a little bit
Speaker 4: if there Is A vlad junior available, to You although
Speaker 4: i'm doubting he is based on, six keepers but it's
Speaker 4: it's a tricky question without knowing a little bit.
Speaker 3: More Detail, all right.
Speaker 1: We'll continue to recap the picks here in just. A
Speaker 1: moment remember we're on Our, draft wizard and remember if
Speaker 1: you're watching us Here, on twitch make sure you go
Speaker 1: ahead and you follow us Over there twitch Dot Tv Slash,
Speaker 1: fantasy pros and of course subscribe to the YouTube channel
Speaker 1: if you're, watching back because we're trying to get to
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand subscribers before, opening day and we can
Speaker 1: do it with. Your help let's get to some more
Speaker 1: of the. Picks Here, So Gossman, Taylor Ward christopher sanchez
Speaker 1: Goes To Mike, maher sanchoz a guy we've talked about
Speaker 1: a ton in recent, Weeks, here mayor how do you
Speaker 1: feel about? THIS selection i think.
Speaker 2: HE'S undervalued i think you can you know he had
Speaker 2: a really really good twenty. TWENTY four i think it
Speaker 2: could be even better. This year and, more importantly, Like
Speaker 2: you i've been watching my CATEGORIES and i really need
Speaker 2: starting pitchers and some, more bats AND so i really, needed,
Speaker 2: innings strikeouts WINS.
Speaker 6: Because i need to make up some.
Speaker 1: Ground, THERE okay i actually took, a catcher if you could.
Speaker 1: Believe it this Is very. Unjoe like so, But again
Speaker 1: i'm watching the categories very close because of the style,
Speaker 1: of LEAGUE and i don't want to. Fall Behind after
Speaker 1: Sanchez profar lugo a nice steal there. THIRTEEN ten, i
Speaker 1: mean the guy had a. GREAT season i can't believe
Speaker 1: how long he's lasting. In Drafts And thomas mason Win To.
Speaker 1: Jo Rico jeff Hoffman To. Joe Rico mason winn struggled
Speaker 1: a little. BIT yesterday i saw you, an over, but
Speaker 1: again it's only one day. Of baseball but when a
Speaker 1: guy can give you a little, batting average, little pop,
Speaker 1: little speed a little bit of Everything in hoffman Obviously
Speaker 1: another homer pick, For, YOU joe.
Speaker 4: I actually don't Even, like hoffin that's the. Funny thing
Speaker 4: but we're running out of, Him anyway we're running Out.
Speaker 4: OF takhoss, I know I know i'm, a HYPOCRITE but
Speaker 4: i took him because we're getting to the end of
Speaker 4: the CLOSERS that i feel. Comfortable with and that's. THE
Speaker 4: thing i don't feel terribly comfortable. With him that failed
Speaker 4: physicals don't really give me that warm and. Fuzzy feeling
Speaker 4: but he's looked good. In spring so far as stuff,
Speaker 4: is fantastic the job should. Be HIS so i took
Speaker 4: a bit of a Chance on. HOFFMAN there i didn't
Speaker 4: want to be left hold in. The bag and Then
Speaker 4: With mason, win again like you guys, have mentioned looking
Speaker 4: at those projections that you have on The, DRAFT wizard
Speaker 4: i need some. BATTING average i need. Stolen bases he
Speaker 4: said he wants to steal more this year and the
Speaker 4: way that he has kind of floundered.
Speaker 3: IN spring a little bit can only just bring the
Speaker 3: price down a. Little Bit so i'm heavily Buying Into,
Speaker 3: mason win.
Speaker 1: All right Buying Into. Mason win after the beginning of
Speaker 1: the fourteen oh one side of this round fourteen, oh two,
Speaker 1: Mcguil o'happy, Luisa Rise tommy Edmond To. MIKE mayer i
Speaker 1: don't even think we could talk. About That ronaldo lopez
Speaker 1: at fourteen oh six And the menez at fourteen. OH
Speaker 1: seven I Took shay langlears at fourteen, Oh Eight jordan
Speaker 1: romano at fourteen, oh nine and one of my, Backup
Speaker 1: Closers boo paredis To. The welsh great selection there lasted
Speaker 1: way longer than he.
Speaker 5: Should, have YEAH and i got a couple. OF astros
Speaker 5: I took Preadis And, Jeremy Pania Pratis. Jrhanniel suarez maybe
Speaker 5: a kind of a. Tough decision i've got a lot of,
Speaker 5: batting AVERAGE so I think i can Stomach if paradis
Speaker 5: kind of struggles. Back down but, you know high pull
Speaker 5: fly ball in an amazing ballpark with that, power potential,
Speaker 5: so Uh And jeremy pania every stop of shortstop has
Speaker 5: just Been like i've. Been sniped i've. Been sniped i've.
Speaker 5: Been sniped there just really weren't a lot of other.
Speaker 5: Great OPTIONS but I love painia with the potential at
Speaker 5: the top of. The lineup fifteen to, fifteen guy higher,
Speaker 5: batting average just a good core piece to go with.
Speaker 1: This, TEAM okay i continue to punt. On closer we'll
Speaker 1: see how MUCH longer i could do That for after You,
Speaker 1: Took paridis Goldschmidt And josh lowe and the Fourteenth Round
Speaker 1: jackson holiday begins the fifteenth to fifteen oh One, Than
Speaker 1: Suarez Jeremy, pania welsh that's the GUY that i was.
Speaker 1: Gonna take you took him.
Speaker 4: From.
Speaker 1: Me Congratulations J turel muto. GOES next i ended Up
Speaker 1: having Ay take. Swantson Instead but penia is the GUY that.
Speaker 1: I wanted so that's a nice little. Boost there Paritis
Speaker 1: and penia two infielders from the same team There. In
Speaker 1: houston that's a nice little boon for you late in.
Speaker 5: The, Draft yeah i'm feeling. PRETTY good, i, mean offensively
Speaker 5: my only holes at this point, util middle infield. And
Speaker 5: catcher as far as, OFFENSE goes i still got four.
Speaker 5: Pitching spots i've got to fill out only, one closer so,
Speaker 5: you KNOW whether i want to dig a little bit
Speaker 5: deeper and play a couple more closers or go on
Speaker 5: the sp since we're not, DOING bench i got to make.
Speaker 5: Some DECISIONS but i have a lot less decision making
Speaker 5: to do on offense With how i've.
Speaker 1: Attacked It, TODs Bradley, Nico Horner michael tolia at, fifteen
Speaker 1: eight One of welsh's big sleeper. Power, guys so mayor
Speaker 1: how do you feel about making up grounded offense after
Speaker 1: you hit Closer and pitcher?
Speaker 6: So, early well this is a.
Speaker 2: RISKY pick i think there are some concerns in. His
Speaker 2: PROFILE but i also this for me is, kind of,
Speaker 2: you know bad process because this is a roster. Construction
Speaker 2: pick because it feels like a long Time ago welsh
Speaker 2: talked about locking up his first round slot and there
Speaker 2: aren't really, any left and that's A slot i really need.
Speaker 2: TO feel i need to have a starter THERE and
Speaker 2: i need production out of there because OF how i
Speaker 2: went with. Pitchers earlier And so i'm Banking on welsh's
Speaker 2: optimism here and hoping that he can help me catch
Speaker 2: up a little bit in the power category.
Speaker 5: To forty four expected, BATTING average i Mean over Homer's.
Speaker 5: LIKE colorado i THINK that i think there's some optimism
Speaker 5: to be had that he's at least to two thirty
Speaker 5: two forty hitter and if you did your, rosters right
Speaker 5: you can.
Speaker 1: Stomach it here's another, QUESTION too i just want to
Speaker 1: bring this. One up are we Worried About george? Kirby's
Speaker 1: Injury joe ricos and you just, Madeor picks let's Talk
Speaker 1: About george. Kirby's injury are? You concerned and, if so
Speaker 1: how much have you dropped him in? Your DRAFTS.
Speaker 4: So i dropped him like eight or nine spots in my.
Speaker 4: Overall rankings he's around twenty twenty one. Right now i'm
Speaker 4: a little, bit WORRIED but i don't think it's the
Speaker 4: end of the world for. Him necessarily like we got
Speaker 4: the three big pitcher Injuries, Of, rodriguez Cole, and Kirby
Speaker 4: and kirby's is definitely the. LEAST severe i think you
Speaker 4: could probably lower his any projection twenty or, twenty five
Speaker 4: but as of, right now it doesn't seem. Too concerning
Speaker 4: he's been following a lot in drafts going in, you
Speaker 4: know usually the one fifty range over the last week.
Speaker 3: Or so i'm willing to buy.
Speaker 1: That dip, ALL right a great job here by all
Speaker 1: of our listeners to in this. Draft too We Have
Speaker 1: kerry carpenter, Go Next matt shaw fifteen.
Speaker 3: To ten.
Speaker 1: Great pick chewbacca goes Next For. Zach netto could be a.
Speaker 1: Steal there tyler O'Neil to Joe al Rico And zach
Speaker 1: Eflin to joe, As well joe, Real quick eflyn and
Speaker 1: O'Neill back, to back orioles your expectations for them. THIS
Speaker 1: season i.

Speaker 4: two games out, of him which generally speaking seems to
Speaker 4: be the way, It goes i'm probably still getting thirty
Speaker 4: home RUNS and i needed that based on. The projections
Speaker 4: and ANOTHER thing i needed was Whip And zach efflin
Speaker 4: is one of the best pitchers in baseball in terms
Speaker 4: of lowering your whip under one twenty in each of
Speaker 4: the last. Three seasons he's not a big, strikeout GUY
Speaker 4: but i kind of have strikeouts taken, care of so
Speaker 4: trying to help preserve some of the ratios with.
Speaker 3: Sixteenth Round zach eflin.

Speaker 1: the ben here have Aaldi then Burls And spencer Arraghetty
Speaker 1: To navarro Cheuwbacca Takes, Kirby Yates Joe rico Mountcastle And.
Speaker 1: Jonathan india so you go here with some. Infield help
Speaker 1: how do you feel about these?
Speaker 3: TWO selections i waited too long on.
Speaker 4: First base, you know for a twelve, Team Draft brian
Speaker 4: mountcastle shouldn't be your starting. First basement that was an
Speaker 4: error on. My APARTMENT but i think as the, consolation
Speaker 4: prize it's. Not bad they're bringing that. Wall in he
Speaker 4: sprays the ball a little bit More than. I'd like
Speaker 4: if he was a pure, POLL hitter i think that
Speaker 4: would help him a. Lot MORE but i still think
Speaker 4: that it's a really good Situation for Mountcastle. And baltimore
Speaker 4: and then if we're Talking About, jonathan india he's been
Speaker 4: one of my favorite targets all of. Draft season he's
Speaker 4: gonna be leading Off In. Kansas city the park factors
Speaker 4: are about Even In. WI cincinnati i know that's going
Speaker 4: to surprise a lot. Of people it just it doesn't
Speaker 4: help you in terms of. The power he's gonna lose
Speaker 4: a few, home runs but leading off in Front of
Speaker 4: Bobby with ju And Your, salperez vinip he could score one.
Speaker 4: Hundred runs he's a good on. Bass, guy like there's
Speaker 4: a lot to Like With, jonathan india and the price
Speaker 4: is just unfathomably low, This, year.
Speaker 1: Welsh how much do you love it that everybody's mad
Speaker 1: at their first base selections because you and double Dip
Speaker 1: with Freeman. And, naylor yeah it does.
Speaker 5: Feel, pretty good, But like i'm also not super happy
Speaker 5: With Some like i'm not happy with my. PITCHING spot.
Speaker 5: I want I Wanted. Jonathan india that's a tough thing
Speaker 5: when you are on those. Corners too you really have
Speaker 5: to get into the right mindset because IT'S like i
Speaker 5: have to wait. SO long i have three times in
Speaker 5: the last like ten rounds been sniped at the back
Speaker 5: half of the next Round and i'm just too far
Speaker 5: away That either, i'm not, you know pressing on some
Speaker 5: of the GUYS that i, really Want or i'm just,
Speaker 5: You know i'm just mistargeting. The ROOM but i guess
Speaker 5: the consolation prize Is knowing i'm Ruining every wednesday at.
Speaker 5: First base, that's.
Speaker 1: There you got the. Tiny consolation it's, The Small, Joyce
Speaker 1: welsh i'm gonna take, Another Closer, KENNLEE jansen i got a.
Speaker 1: Value pick. Thumbs Up Thanks, DRAFT wizard i love. You
Speaker 1: too after we Go, through india you have eighteen Oh
Speaker 1: Two Lords Gurriel, Luis. Rangifo junghuli that was A guy
Speaker 1: i was. LOOKING at i wanted to, get him boost,
Speaker 1: the average a little bit of, everything There but chalmers snags.
Speaker 1: Him there Sean and Iah To mike maher already got
Speaker 1: a good bill. Of health we just saw the, other
Speaker 1: day so the scans were. All good he's gonna start
Speaker 1: ramping up again. Baseball activities so that's gonna make you
Speaker 1: feel good about, this pick because that is a tremendous
Speaker 1: value for a guy that was approaching two hundred strikeouts.
Speaker 2: Last, year yeah that's the hope is that you're you're
Speaker 2: getting in now before the price goes, back up because
Speaker 2: right now you're getting the. INJURED discount i don't normally
Speaker 2: like taking players that are, already hurt but the fact
Speaker 2: that it seems like he's already pretty much good, to
Speaker 2: GO his adp is gonna jump back up. Really Quickly
Speaker 2: so i'm getting in now before the four it's.
Speaker 1: Too, late okay get, in now Everybody on SEANMAN and
Speaker 1: i A. Tan or how then eighteen Oh Seven, Brandon
Speaker 1: Woodruff kenley jansen, To Me brandon laue to market, eight
Speaker 1: dude and then The labor torres To The welsh ersa
Speaker 1: goes and then we're gonna wrap back around for. Round nineteen,
Speaker 1: so well she Took. Labor torres correa's off the board
Speaker 1: here beginning nineteenth round Here For, black raptor They, Select Bowden.
Speaker 1: Francis welsh you are on deck here at nineteen.
Speaker 5: Oh, THREE yeah I think i'm gonna pull the trigger
Speaker 5: finally on my. Catcher. Potentially, YEAH well, I mean i
Speaker 5: don't know what guy you're, wanting here but That's What
Speaker 5: i'm i'm looking At. Unless, Vena okay Venom Took, george
Speaker 5: Springer so i'm gonna Go To. Austin wells, that's yeah
Speaker 5: that's my big target at. CATCHER here i don't hate
Speaker 5: getting some of the value, early ON like i Would Love,
Speaker 5: wilson contreras just want a little bit more value. COMING
Speaker 5: back i take, late Closers But austin wells is one
Speaker 5: of my, top targets being the number one Guy In new,
Speaker 5: York OBVIOUSLY joe i Pissed, off rico which. Is phenomenal
Speaker 5: again another just like small, LITTLE win i get to
Speaker 5: put in my. Pocket Here But austin wells is definitely
Speaker 5: the last bastion of Catchers Because francisco avarez is gonna
Speaker 5: miss a decent amount of time into, the season which,
Speaker 5: is brutal.
Speaker 1: All Right So george springer Went between Francis, and wells
Speaker 1: and Then you darvish Went between wells and My Selection.
Speaker 1: Mackenzie gore continuing to beef up. The strikeouts i'm looking
Speaker 1: at the categories. Right now, i'm first and, runs first
Speaker 1: and home, runs FIRST and rbi first and steals how about?
Speaker 1: Them apples, Right now i'm still behind a little bit.
Speaker 1: ON strikeouts i don't. KNOW why I think i've got
Speaker 1: some pretty good strikeouts, down there but trying to make
Speaker 1: up some. Ground there i'm trying to be more competitive
Speaker 1: in the. PITCHING categories i gotta pull that whip down a,
Speaker 1: little bit so we'll SEE if i could do that
Speaker 1: with the last couple of picks after My Selection, nathaniel
Speaker 1: logos and then You Have, Byron Buxton. Mike mayer you
Speaker 1: didn't get a Chance about Buston and trout together to
Speaker 1: make the Ultimate. Injured voltron that would have been so
Speaker 1: cool if you could have. Done that instead you Go
Speaker 1: with jake McCarthy for a little bit of stolen. Base
Speaker 1: help is that where you were behind?
Speaker 2: Right, NOW well i was hoping to get, McKenzie gore
Speaker 2: but you. Took him and so at, THIS point i
Speaker 2: need a couple of utail spots and need some. Stolen
Speaker 2: Bases and i'm Trusting The draft wizard because They The
Speaker 2: draft wizard told me that that was the, biggest boost
Speaker 2: And so i'm putting my Faith In draft wizard to
Speaker 2: help me get back in.
Speaker 1: The race here there, you go faith In The, draft
Speaker 1: wizard and all shall. Be revealed next up Here Is
Speaker 1: shane bose at nineteen, oh Nine zat geloff in. Nineteen
Speaker 1: ten Chewi Takes michael bush at. Nineteen Eleven, jo rico
Speaker 1: you're on the clock for. Two picks we have three.
Speaker 1: Rounds left start us, Off HERE so.
Speaker 3: I think i'm just gonna fully Wait.
Speaker 4: On catcher at, THIS point i Did Want, austin wells
Speaker 4: as anybody watching on the stream can probably have figured
Speaker 4: out based on. The REACTION so i am going to
Speaker 4: take my corner. Infielder here i'm Gonna Take. TYLER soderstrom
Speaker 4: i think that he's in for a. Nice year and,
Speaker 4: then again it's another. As player it's not. ON purpose
Speaker 4: i just think he fits THE build i need the.
Speaker 4: Corner infield he's got. Good pop the batting average, isn't
Speaker 4: GREAT but I think i can live. With that AND
Speaker 4: then i need to take another. PITCHER here i have
Speaker 4: two more pitching spots, to FILL and i am going
Speaker 4: To Take. Clark SCHMIDT although i worry a little bit
Speaker 4: about the time he had to miss, last season but
Speaker 4: at the, same time he was great when he was,
Speaker 4: out There and i'm just kind of hoping that he can,
Speaker 4: stay healthy, ALL right i.
Speaker 1: Hoping he can.
Speaker 3: Stay.
Speaker 1: Healthy there i've already filled all. My pitchers i've realized
Speaker 1: we're not doing bench today just for time and again
Speaker 1: shows a longer today because we're actually working with, not robots,
Speaker 1: but real, real people real fantasy baseball fans and our
Speaker 1: fans who we appreciate a. Great deal and if you're
Speaker 1: watching on the, YouTube channel forget to like the video and,
Speaker 1: of COURSE obsure i drop your. Comments. Below two we
Speaker 1: love to hear. From everybody we are going to do the.
Speaker 1: FULL breakdowns i love this run of, pictures Though, after Rico, Take,
Speaker 1: Schmidt Meyer, Nick Lodolo. Clay holmes those are three of my,
Speaker 1: actually four Even With, clark schmidt four of my favorite.
Speaker 1: Late pictures i'm, telling you this is a. Great. Run
Speaker 1: Here mike maher continues It With Jesu's. Lozardo mayor this
Speaker 1: is a terrific illustration of there's pitching value to be
Speaker 1: found in round nineteen twenty because we just unearthed all.
Speaker 6: Of, it yeah and there's still a bunch.
Speaker 2: TO go i was actually just looking at my queue
Speaker 2: while you were talking, and thinking, you, KNOW shoot i
Speaker 2: really could have hit some more hitters early in, this
Speaker 2: draft because there's four pictures in my QUE that i
Speaker 2: still want a draft HERE that I think i might
Speaker 2: be able.
Speaker 1: To, get yeah. IT is i had to take out
Speaker 1: all THE after I. TOOK gore i don't have remorse
Speaker 1: THERE because i still Like getting GORE where i. Got
Speaker 1: him BUT if, I didn't i would have been happy With,
Speaker 1: the holmes happy Bit. Of Lizardo but gore for, the
Speaker 1: strikeout it's a little bit higher on. My board rafaela
Speaker 1: goes Next After, DREW rasmisin i. Am up i'm Gonna
Speaker 1: Take michael, garcia continues just pound away and take stolen
Speaker 1: bases away from. Everybody else i've got MY two util
Speaker 1: spots left. To, FILL welsh i don't know what's left
Speaker 1: on your, team roster but you've got a few picks
Speaker 1: left to.
Speaker 5: DO it i GOT one util Two. Pictures Lazard CLAY
Speaker 5: holmes i thought was my secret weapon. On here he's
Speaker 5: only qualifying under, relief pitchers so he's kind of a little,
Speaker 5: sneaky guy but could not get him past, this crew which.
Speaker 5: Is unfortunate i'm gonna get one of my, sneaky guys
Speaker 5: Not that i'm even getting a big value, on it
Speaker 5: but we're not doing. BENCH here i HAVE one util,
Speaker 5: spot OPEN and i am going To Tap jock peterson
Speaker 5: with THAT because I think jock in the middle Of
Speaker 5: that texas lineup is just a phenomenal GET and i
Speaker 5: practice AND what, i preach and THEN now i just
Speaker 5: got to. Get Pictures so i'm in the pitching market
Speaker 5: and you guys HAVE just, i mean there are some
Speaker 5: names that, are fun they're. Not great they don't get,

Speaker 5: years prior with. The rays a's a little bit of
Speaker 5: a dicey question with the minor. League Ballpark But jeffrey
Speaker 5: springs back in toe really has a lot of.
Speaker 1: Upside Value, All right i'm trying to go and decide
Speaker 1: here WHICH way i want. To go it keeps keeps
Speaker 1: telling me that it wants me To Take, max Munsey
Speaker 1: but welsh KNOWS how i Feel About, max Mancy so
Speaker 1: i'm Gonna Go cold. Keith, instead again another guy gives
Speaker 1: you a little bit, of everything trying to raise that,
Speaker 1: batting Average Because max munsey certainly is gonna not help

Speaker 1: few picks. Fly out here we have after my Selection,
Speaker 1: of keith then we have See Springs Weather's, Cold Keith

Speaker 1: schaumer's is, up Next So. Ree hoskins another guy gives her.
Speaker 1: Some power but the batting average certainly has fallen.
Speaker 2: Off, dramatically YEAH but i think you're getting a big injury,
Speaker 2: discount here and you know he's only, you know a
Speaker 2: year or two years removed from thirty home runs in
Speaker 2: a two forty. Six AVERAGE if i can get thirty
Speaker 2: home runs and like a two thirty average from the
Speaker 2: last my, last hitter especially you know in w tail,
Speaker 2: Slots here i'm chasing power and if, you can like
Speaker 2: if you can't find thirty harmones this late in, the
Speaker 2: draft And So i'm i'm rolling the dice and if
Speaker 2: it doesn't, work out, you know he's one of my.
Speaker 6: LAST picks i.
