It's not my favorite 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.560 thing when we start the season two weeks before the season. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.720 But it seems like if anybody was really ruffled with 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.959 those feathers, it would be Mike Mayer. Mike, I have 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.600 to assume if it bothers me, it must infuriate you. 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.760 Nothing infuriates me except ruffled with those feathers kind of 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.720 threw me off, so that I'm infuriated about that now. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.360 Well you should be, because you know, I mean, if 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.640 you don't get ruffled with your feathers, then how will 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.560 you teach someone else to do it for you someday? 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.280 Joe Rico looking ready to go here in this spot, 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.320 Joe Rico, you could choose any draft slot today. What 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:51.320 slot did you choose? 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:52.840 I'm picking on the turn. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.320 I'm taking pick twelve in the first round. It's not 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.240 a spot that I've drafted out of a lot this year, 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.240 but I've talked about a lot on this channel. 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.400 How I really liked the end. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.080 There's probably sixteen seventeen first round worthy players, so hoping 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.760 to snatch up a couple of them at the turn here. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.360 And how do you like your feathers ruffled? Joe gently 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:10.840 roughly of. 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.600 Both moderately moderately, moderately. 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.840 Moderately, Welsh, I know how you like your feathers ruffled. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.600 You're picking at the three spot. I'm at the five spot. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.240 I'm trying to look. Mike Mayer is at the eighth spot. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.000 So Welsh, you took the three spot. That seems like, uh, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.000 I don't know. Yeah, like Welsh's looking for an easy 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.600 day at the office today. You think you're gonna win 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.520 this mock draft, and I can guarantee you I'm probably 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:32.079 gonna hate it. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.520 Just not easy day. Just somewhere that I haven't really drafted. 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.960 I've done so many mock drafts this season, kind of 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.760 moving it around. And to your credit, like I don't 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.000 have much of a decision. Give me Bobby witteror give 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.919 me Aaron Judge and then I get to just kind 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.720 of readjust from there. But yeah, we'll see if it 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.680 goes super easy. By the way, my feathers shaken, not stirred. 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.480 There you go like a true gentleman. That's the Welsh. Okay, 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.320 Black Raptors joining us, Trusted Venom Market eight. Dude, God, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.560 I love a good look Bosi reference. I'm gonna have 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.720 a white Russian right after this draft, even though it's 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.640 basically new in East Coast time. Mctunda CTE Squad. And 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.760 then we've got Schomer, We've got Joey Navarro, friend of 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.480 the show, Chewbacca is joining us, a celebrity fresh from 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.200 the ranch.

You can think of it 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.080 as the true cheat code to making sure that you 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.200 rock every single draft, and rock them hard in the 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.600 next couple weeks. Let's start off here, no surprise at 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.720 the top, show hel Tani off at the two spot. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.840 After that, I assume we're gonna get Bobby Witt, but 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.240 we'll see what Venom does here. Then Bobby Witt goes 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:12.920 number two while you were on the clock for one 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:13.480 o three. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.080 As fun as it would be to take Ellie, who 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.160 I have battled between the three and four spot the 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.960 whole season, power is just at a premium. Power is 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.120 the new stolen base. So how about them? Aaron Judges. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.200 Aaron Judges is gone market. Eight dude is on the 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.640 clock at one oh four. I gotta say, I thought 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.800 Ellie was gonna make it to me. Jose Ramirez does not, 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.960 so it's to me. It's five by five. Oh, I'm 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.520 so attempted to take Juan Soto last time we did 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.080 an OBP League, But if you want to see that, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.280 you can go back and watch that one. I'm gonna 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.280 take the Ellie de la Cruz and see what I 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.120 do with the outfield because everyone can be complaining and 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.680 bitching about outfield. I'm starting to find some gems in 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.480 the outfield some of the shows we've done, So I'm 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.760 gonna take Ellie de la Cruz. Mctunda's up next, coming 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.320 in a couple picks here, Mike at one O eight Mayor. 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.239 I know we're live here and some of the people 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.920 in the draft are also here hanging out with us. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:07.719 So I don't know if you want to give away 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:09.760 the game or not, but what are you hoping to 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.760 make this pick here? As? Oh, you are up on 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:12.599 the clock here. 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.080 So I intentionally pick this, you know once you texted 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:17.560 me last night and kind of begged me to join 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.599 the draft so you could share it around because I 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.159 was the last person to do so. I looked at 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.200 where you guys were drafting, and this area is I 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.039 haven't picked here yet, and there was a reason that 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.440 I wanted to choose it, and I just picked Paul Skeens, 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.279 So that's kind of right around where I have in 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.240 my rankings. I'll see how it works out for me strategyized. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.359 But I intentionally wanted to pick in this area to 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.720 grab Paul Skins and see what kind of team I 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.520 could build, going Skeens first. 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.560 So going with the pitcher first, here the five y five. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.520 Now this is not a headhead, just a straight roto. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.560 Why Skemes in particular are not a guy like schoobl 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.080 who you know, just saying has already gone out there 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.320 and thrown a full compliment of innings, Just kind of curious. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.279 I know, Skiens is the number one guy, I get 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.719 it on most people's boards, but School's number one online, 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.120 So Skian's over school for you. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.240 I mean, I just think Skeens is that next level 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.279 of pitcher. And you're already seeing him like tinkering with 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.120 like he was already like phenomenal as a rookie, and 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.280 now there's talking about him, you know, working in two 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.479 seamers and cutters and potentially even taking another step. And 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.400 so I think you're just gonna get clear one oh 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.200 one production out of that picture that you know pitcher. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.400 Spot Okay, next up here on the draft board we 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.440 have in between, So I took Ellie to a Cruz, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.240 Mookie Betts, Jan Sodo, Paul Skeins to Mike Maher and 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.840 then Vladimir Guerrero Junior goes. Then we have Joey Navarro go, 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.280 Kyle Tucker at won ten, one eleven, Gunnar Henderson, Joe 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.240 Alrico on the clock here for two picks, Corb and 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.840 Carol the first one, Francisco Lindor for the second one. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:43.960 Let's talk about those. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:44.360 Joe. 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.880 Yeah, it's not something I've done this year, but like 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.680 I said, I haven't been out of the turn a lot. 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.680 But I really like the pairing Lindor Joe. I don't 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.719 need to sell you on Lindoor. He's a thirty thirty guy. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.920 That lineup is fantastic. Adding Soto to an already really 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.719 great top of the order should only do wonders for him. 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.840 When you're talking about Corbyn Carroll, he's another guy that 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.480 I've been really interested in the back stuff in spring training. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.440 I think he's been dealing with a bit of a 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.520 back problem, but it's not a huge concern as of 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.320 right now. His second half was just so great last year. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.760 Hes still one hundred and twenty one, runs a great 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.760 power speed base. The thing that I've left on the 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.320 table here a little bit as batting average on. I 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:19.880 need to make up for that in the next couple 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:20.480 of rounds. 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.200 Yes, you and me both. Alvarez goes at two to 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.160 oh two, then Fernando Teti's junior two oh three, Scooble 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.880 at two oh four. Mike Mayer, you selected Juli to Rodriguez, 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.520 so that is your lynchpin bat Was that a tough decision, Julio, 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.680 considering his inconsistencies and slow starts, and do you think 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.280 he can put together a full six months of great Julio. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.480 I do it. It was a difficult decision. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.520 I did really think about taking Jackson Terio, but I 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.560 have you know, I have several concerns. If you listened 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.560 to me talk separately or recently, I've. 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.280 Bet I try my best not to Jackson SiO. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.880 Yeah, but what happened is right before that is what 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.240 I really wanted to do. You know you asked me 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.400 about taking Schooble. My hope was to maybe see if 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.960 I can get both and take Schemes and Schooble. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.760 I was curious if you wanted to do pocket aces, 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.800 if you would even play around with that that's interesting 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:04.400 that you would. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.520 Have That's what I was thinking about trying. 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:10.120 Yeah, well it didn't happen. Oh well, life goes on. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.560 I'm gonna continue to pound into the middle infield here 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.200 with my next pick. So after you to Coulier Rodriguez, 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.880 Bryce Harper goes at two o six, Jacksonurio at two 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.640 o seven. I took Katel Marte, So I got power, 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.800 I've got speed, I've got it all. Jared Durango's next 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.400 at two to oh nine. I did think there for 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.040 a moment or two while taking Wheeler. We'll see what happens. 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:33.920 I tend to wait on pitching, and I tend to 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.200 like my rosters a lot more, so I'm gonna probably 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.040 continue with that strategy. Jared Durant off the board at 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.920 two oh nine, which leaves the Welsh at two ten. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.280 I am going to you know, I feel like seven 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.040 Wheeler would be somebody that I would try to pull 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.760 the trigger on. But I haven't taken a lot of 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.160 Freddie Freeman. The power's not quite there. A little bit 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.560 of stolen bases, but tons of running RBI and really 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.920 good batting average. Another thing that later in drafts sometime 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.240 can get away from me a tiny bit, so Freddie Freeman, 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.320 Aaron Judge, pretty pretty good start. I definitely wanted sure 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.520 your could tell Marte. So you you guys three of 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.160 the two of the three picks leading up to me, just. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:17.319 Wat wap that so well out Micktunda and og Pete 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.719 on Cracker Jack knows what they're doing there. I'm curious, Mayor, 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.360 what were the concerns you had about Churio Just the 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.640 fact that it's still, you know, only a one year 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.599 sample size and really only three months of being a 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:29.880 high level productivity. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.480 It's more it's more just the price tag for the uh, 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.400 you know, for the production. We're projecting a lot, like 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.000 you know, kind of like projecting him to take that 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:38.480 next step. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:39.120 He was really good. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.480 He got off to a little bit of slow start 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.840 and then they closed strong. But I just think the 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.600 price tag is getting really high for that you know, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.640 production you're getting out of him. You know, there was 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.040 a main event draft recently where he went in the 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.920 first round. He went where I took Skens in a 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.840 main event draft, and that's just too expensive for Jacksonia. 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.800 All right. Jared Durand went at two oh nine then 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.160 Freeman to Welshia ten, Zach Wheeler two eleven, Troy Turner 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.840 to twelve at the three oh one turn, Logan Gilbert, 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.800 then Jackson Merrill. So we have a couple of aces 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.360 still off the board. Welsh you're up here with fifteen 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.200 seconds on the clock at the three TOZHO three. 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.800 So I was really sitting here thinking I was gonna 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.800 take Jazz Chisholm. I'm gonna go with where I've gone 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.920 a lot in these drafts and break co Rico's hard. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.079 I'm gonna take Garrett Crochet. I want to get one 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.160 of the I like one good pitcher in the top 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.360 four rounds, and then I can wait a tiny bit. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.600 I've obviously been pretty big on him. If you guys 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.120 watch the Fantasy Fest, you know my talks on him 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.440 and even the bets in the first segment we talked 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.800 about with him leading in strikeouts, this is the prime. 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.480 I'm a third round Garrett Croche. Guy Jackson Merril might 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.400 have made me think a little bit different, but I'm 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.439 just not worried about chasing speed as much. Maybe keep 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.240 my batting average a little bit and I keep up 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.720 with the Joneses on the pitching side, So Garrett Crochet 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:53.640 my third round pick. 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.480 Okay Crochet, who goes next at three zero three? Jests 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.360 chissem with three or four, and then I decided to 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.600 say why not third round three oh five, Let's take 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.360 Ronald of Counya. I'm playing for the last five months 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.320 of the season. Hopefully I get him back in May. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.120 Can I find an outfielder for six weeks in April? 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.280 Of course I can. The waiver wire will be plentiful. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.640 There's not a lot of rondalcunia is going out there. 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.440 So you got Acunya Marte de la Cruz starting my team. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.800 And it's a twelve team league, so I'm probably less 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.880 apt to do this in fifteen Replacement values not as 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.640 good in a twelve team or I'm all about it, 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.320 and I think next week we have a ten team, 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.840 maybe four min four and a half four and a half. 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.120 Let's see. Give me Ronald of Codia. Matt Olsen goes 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:39.160 next for Mactunda. Then we have Riley to Cete Mecmayor 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:40.880 is up next at three oh eight. 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:41.240 Mayor. 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:41.760 What's the pick? 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:42.680 Me? 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:43.320 Well, I got it. 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.880 I gotta tell you I'm in shambles over here because 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.040 my initial strategy was pocket Aces and see if I 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.599 can go Skiings Scooble. The backup pocket Ace's strategy was 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.959 to go skiens hitter and then see if I can 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.240 get one of Wheeler, Logan, Gilbert or Crochet in the 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:58.800 third round. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:11:59.920 That also fell through. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.600 And then my emergence, my break glassy gase of emergency 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.880 option was Austin Riley, who just went to pick before me. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.280 And so now my just desperation pick is Raphael Devers 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:09.839 and just hope that that shoulder is okay. 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:14.160 Like it was this future dh Raffael Devers who just said, 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.120 I believe yesterday, I'll play wherever the team wants me to. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.960 What a wonderful, beautiful moment there. It felt like, you know, 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.440 I was pretty sure it was like a Bob Sagga 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.240 came into his room and sat down and they played 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.560 that music and he was like, hey, Raf, you know, 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.000 how's it going, buddy? You know, I know, you know 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.160 you love third base, but you know you're not the 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.120 only one in this family. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:33.240 There. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.640 There's a lot of people that depend on you and 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.240 count on you, and you know that just not feeling 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.400 like third base, but yeah, you gotta let somebody else 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.079 play third base once in a while, but it doesn't 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.600 make you less a part of this family, okay, And 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.480 then they hugged. It was beautiful. Raffaeld, Devers goes Corbyn, 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.959 Burns goes next to Shamers. Then Navarro takes Machado Ozzy 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.800 Albi's to Chewbacca at three eleven, Joe Rico on the 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.520 clock for two picks. What'd you do? 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.560 I locked down my ace in cole Rake and then 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.040 I took one of the people who is the hype 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.880 is getting completely out of control with in Spring and 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.280 that's why at Langford. But he's been going on the 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.600 second round in some rooms, getting him on the turn 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:13.120 here like should he be going quite this early? Probably not, 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.760 but on the turn this is the only chance I'm 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.319 probably going to have for him. So I took my 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.440 chance on one of my guys and Reagan's. The only 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.240 thing that worries me about Reagan's is the loss in 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.080 fastball velocity down the stretch last year, but I'm not 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.920 as concerned about that as some other people are. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.400 Well after Reagan's goes and whyatt Langford goes to you too. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.520 So Langford in the fourth round seems like a good investment. 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.520 I feel like that's about where you're going to have 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.040 to take that plunge. Are you encourage at all what 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:39.840 you've seen so far in spring training from Langford? 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.960 Well, the slow start with the oblique is not what 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.200 I really want to see. He's been playing well since 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.439 he returned. You never want to see anybody getting injured 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.400 in spring. But he's one of my guys this year 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.480 for sure. And getting him lower than I think that 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.640 generally speaking, he is going to go is something that 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.200 I'm pretty happy with. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:57.840 Should he is? 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.400 He the best player on the board there. I think 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.360 the upside, combined with what he did in September makes 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:04.400 it hard to pass up here. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.400 I'll tell you, Joey, it is awesome. Our tools are amazing. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.600 I love going up against AI and the robots when 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.240 we do these drafts, but man, there is a notch. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.480 It is a notch up when we're going up against 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.960 our great listeners that we filled up. If you guys 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.680 haven't checked out Discord, that's so you can get a 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.240 part of these mock drafts. These guys are brutal. I'm like, oh, 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.160 this might happen to me, This might fall for me. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.120 Now everyone is brutal in this Joey, No. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:29.640 They are. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.880 So. Dylan sees Chris Sale two aces right out of 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.880 Mike you and on to teams than Corey Seeger four 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.280 or four to Chamres Mayor. I can guarantee you now 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.160 I'm gonna failure draft because you took Michael Harris at 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:40.680 four or five. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.760 Yep, that's perfect. That's the exact strategy I was going for. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.160 If I can get a bad draft from you, I 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:46.760 know I'm in the right place. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.720 There you go Blake Snell, the guy that I was 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.040 defaulting as my ace. He goes to ct squad Mctonda 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.280 goes oneal cruise at four to seven. So I took 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.200 pen A Lonzo at four oh eight. Give me some power, 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.720 steals I can find steals. I have power. That's the trick. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.840 So Pete A Lownso is gonna give you that basically 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.240 playing in another contract here potentially with that opt out 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.120 love that situation there. Jacob deGrom goes way too soon 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:09.520 afour or nine. They already said he's going to be 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.200 on the IL. It's some point this year. If that 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:12.720 doesn't make if you're warm and fuzzy, I don't know 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.440 what does but I'm just not doing it, Like there's 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.320 just not enough discount for me. When it comes to 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.400 that guy, Welsh, you want closer here with Class A. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.160 So you are the first guy to take closer. You're 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.480 leading the pack. How does it feel to be in front? 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.320 It's an amazing feeling, Joe. It brightens my day, It 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.640 lifts me up, and it carries me through the tough 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.680 times of knowing that I have Class A. I just 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.040 didn't like I love a lot that was sitting out there. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.720 There's a couple guys, it's a little early. Why not 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.000 lockdown top closer with you know, maybe like slight risk 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.960 in my pitching market with Garrett Crochet, But yeah, pull 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.800 the trigger and hopefully that starts pushing some people. And 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.000 James Wood just went. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.840 Okay, yep, James Would did just go. Altuve went before 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.400 him at four eleven, William catrez a four twelve, James 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.040 Would at the five oh one turn Venom up next 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.640 at five o two. By the way, love everybody hanging 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.520 out with us. Here. Mctunda was looking at the pocket 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.360 aces and Dretta says, if I close my eyes, I 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.840 see Bob Saggot. During that whole thing, so there you go. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.320 Bob Saggitt, by the way, absolutely hilarious, just saying, like, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.720 go watch the Bob Saggitt stand up if you've never 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.240 watched you know, if you just watched the the Syrupe 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:26.240 sweet Stuff on the Thank goodness, it's Friday old tgaif Stuff. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.000 Very different guy, very different, different guy. 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.280 But hilarious. I think we could all agree. James Wood 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:33.760 go as a five oh one, then five oh two, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.920 Pablo Lopez, the Welsh, you went power with Brent Rooker 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:37.960 at five three. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.800 Yeah, I have no stolen bases right now. And you 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:42.400 know this is actually a little bit of a different 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.920 strategy than I've put together in most mocks. I usually 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.480 do try to get some speed a little bit early on, 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:52.000 but I'm going in with a real big power pull 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.600 and batting average where I can, like with Freddy Freeman 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.000 holding that up. So I'm going to put to test 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.760 getting some of that speed a little bit later in 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.280 Dragon that we've been preaching and talking about, but going 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.720 for massive power with now Rooker, Judge and then obviously 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:06.359 Freddie Freeman. 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.840 Okay, after Rooker, Schwarber goes and I finally took a 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.600 picture of five oh five Michael King, that's my first one. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.960 I was very tempted to take another bat, but and 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.480
