Speaker 1: and today it's mock draft time. That's right. The Welsh

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: is sick. I knew this was coming. I did a

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: show with him on Monday. He was not one hundred

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: percent Welsh. He's gonna get squeezed. He's gonna come back,

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: hopefully healthy later in the week. He is day to

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: day on the injured reserve for a little while. But

Speaker 1: Joe Rico's here with us, and in the conference of

Speaker 1: a big time guests in the world of fantasy baseball,

12

Speaker 1: the Welsh today. Of course, if you don't know Justin Mason,

Speaker 1: Of course, Fantasy Benefits is where he is living fangrafts

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: doing podcast TGFBI creator Justin Mason. I missed your face.

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: I love your hoodie. Look look how great your setup is. Now,

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: look how it's a voet over the years. That's what

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm most impressed by.

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, this is in a large part

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: due to you. Right, this is the exact same room

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: that used to call the Mason Murder Mansion.

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: The Murder the Murder Mansion.

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So I have, I, you know, put up

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: walls and I actually have things hanging up on them.

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: So it's a painted wall. It's orange, which is bad

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: at night because I look orange. But uh, that was

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: a mistake. But yeah, no, it's it's in large part

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: thanks to you.

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Well, if I could shame anyone else into fixing their setup,

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm happy to do it. But it looks great, you know,

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: and the evolution of it is terrific. It looks it

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: looks very professional and exciting. And you know, as long

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: as you don't start putting up emotional balls, Mason, that's

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: all I want, Just no emotional balls, just the physical ones.

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Joe Rico, you've been working your tail off doing a

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: million mock drafts. One trend that you've seen recent just

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: out of curiosity, have you seen some players start to

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: really shoot up the board is Cam and Arrow that

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: guy that's starting to really pop, Like, what's happening because

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: you know, and I know, spring training, a couple of

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: guys start getting some hits and all of a sudden,

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: ADP starts to go bananas.

45
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: You literally nailed it, Joe, Like, I'm literally thinking, Well,

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: the first one that comes to mind is Junior Cam

47
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: and Arrow. I did an ADP show yesterday that you

48
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: guys may or may not have heard by this point

49
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: with Jeff Erickson and Derek Van Riper, and we were

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: talking about Cam and Arrow and Mark Vientos, and I

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: forget what one of them said, but this isn't really

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: that close an ADP anymore. They just getman. Arrow is

53
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: shooting up so much, he's going to be terrific. I

54
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: know that sometimes players get hyped up in spring and

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: then they end up jumping up three rounds and then

56
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: falling flat on their face, but this doesn't feel like

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: one of those situations. Considering the ballpark, considering the skills

58
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: the team around him, Cam and Arrow might be a

59
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: third round pick pretty soon, and it's maybe a little

60
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: bit early, but it's really hard to argue with it.

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, we're trying to draft teams that are what

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: the ADP is going to look like in twenty twenty six.

63
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I remember, ADP is just polling, it's a suggestion, it's

64
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: a consensus. Start to think about what nexts, first and

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: second round look like. And that's the guys you should

66
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: be targeting. And today we've got a different style draft.

67
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: We're doing head to head at roto categories and change

68
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. I was getting bored too

69
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: many BA would do OBP today, So no batting average.

70
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna do quality starts instead of wins. Because I'm

71
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: a man of the people. That's what we're gonna do today.

72
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: It's twelve teams. We're gonna have corner spots. We're going

73
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: to have two mandatory RP spots. Then we're also going

74
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: to have four outfielders one U till and we're gonna

75
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: have the seven pitcher spots just three bench Still today,

76
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna, you know, we don't want to take too

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: much of Mason's time. He's gotten murders after all, to

78
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: commit later in the afternoon and line to purchase and

79
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: probably shovels and all the other things that go along.

80
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: But seriously, the orange I like it. I think it

81
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: looks good. Before we kick things off today, we're giving

00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: We've got Joe Rico at eight, twelve teams, Mason at

114
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: the turn, of course, he's at the turn first. A

115
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: couple of picks off the board. Bobby Witch, Showel Tani,

116
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. Oh no, it's an OBP league. Do I

117
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: have to take Juan Sodo? I guess I do. I

118
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: guess I will. Okay, you twisted my arm, by the way,

119
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Mason when Sodo signed, did you have a little bit

120
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: of the feels for me just out of curiosity.

121
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: Like I definitely felt good for my Mets friends, right,

122
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: Like my Mets fans friends, like they have suffered for

123
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: long enough, and it feels really good for them, especially

124
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: getting him from the Yankees, right, Like yeah, the crossdown

125
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: big brother. You know, it feels like at that moment

126
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: when you're finally bigger than your big brother and you

127
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: get to punch him in his face and he can't

128
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: do anything about it. So like, yeah, that I felt

129
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: good for you guys.

130
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, go and tell mom you loser. That's right, and

131
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: it just took your toy from you. You nailed it.

132
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: That is the cherry on top of the Sunday for sure.

133
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: But look in OBP leagues and head to head leagues.

134
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Obviously you know want Soto, great player, but also you know,

135
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: strategy wise here things might change a little bit because

136
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: when you're looking head to head, I know, for me,

137
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking for guys who do everything right. I'm looking

138
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: for those those overall players as much as I can

139
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: get them. Mason, for you, what's your strategy when you're

140
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: doing the head to head categories too? I like to

141
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: instead of going with the specialists, the guys who do

142
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: it all, and I value those guys a little more.

143
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: Is there a certain strategy you like to employ.

144
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: I definitely like to employ a strategy of more balanced players,

145
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: more balanced rosters. I think a lot of people want

146
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: to take like the boomer Bus guys in head to

147
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: head leagues, and that's how you lose weeks because guys

148
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: go cold, and there's nothing worse than like dominating your season,

149
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: and then your guys go cold in the playoffs and

150
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: you get knocked out in the first round. So for me,

151
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: I like these guys who contribute to as many categories

152
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: as possible but also are pretty even week to week.

153
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was tough for me to pass on Jose

154
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: Ramirez here, but again, OBP, I've got to go with

155
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: Sodo here. After Ramirez, Elie de la Cruz, Gunner, Henderson,

156
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: Joe Alrico. You took Kyle Tucker at eight. We'll let

157
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: you go make your pick here, Mookie Betts at nine.

158
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: Then we had the tenth pick, Corby Carrol, Fernando Tatisa,

159
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: and then Mason. You took Lindor and Guerrero. That's a

160
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: pretty nice start here. How do you feel about these

161
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: two players going into twenty five.

162
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: Love them. I think they're both like top ten players.

163
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: It's getting him in the back end of the first

164
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: round is great. I think this is a great year

165
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 2: to draft at the back end, getting that early second

166
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: round pick. There's some really leap players, especially in a

167
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: twelve team.

168
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: Agreed, all right, Joe Rico, let's talk about your picks here.

169
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: Because after vlad went Freeman, Scooble, Skimes, a couple of pitchers,

170
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: then you took Alvarez, So Tucker and Alvarez. I like

171
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: that you reunited these guys. That's very sweet. They must

172
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: be very happy to play on your team together. Yeah.

173
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: I think the OBP, like Justin and I just talked

174
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: last week about how we're both a little bit worried

175
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: about Kyle Tucker considering how bad Wrigley is for lefties,

176
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: but OBP bumps it up a little bit. As OBP

177
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: was over four hundred last year, albeit he did miss

178
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: some time. But I think the OBP format does boost

179
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: up both him and Jordan Alvarez. As much as there

180
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: are some reasons to be concerned about both, I think

181
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: it's a pretty solid foundation as well.

182
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: Now because it's head ahead. I'm a little bit more

183
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: willing if a big time pitcher makes it to me

184
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: that I like to go ahead and pull the trigger on.

185
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: So after Alvarez goes Julio Cheerio, Bryce Harper, I took

186
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: a Tel Marte at two oh nine. Again, line up

187
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: the scores. A ton of runs. Love Marte there. Second

188
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: base is not great, so feel pretty good about starting there.

189
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Then Zach Wheeler went now Wheeler, Gilbert and Sale were

190
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: all on the board still when I took Marte was

191
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: hoping one made it back to me. They did, so

192
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Wheeler went Durand and ad to turn Ronald Acunya to

193
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: team one. Trey Turner at three oh one, pick than

194
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: jas Chisholm, Logan, Gilbert. I wanted Gilbert. He didn't make

195
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: it to me. Oh well, I'll have to sell for

196
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: Chris Sale. Question here at the two twelve, Mason, Look,

197
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: you're mister NFBC. You're you know, throwing money around and

198
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: you know thousands of dollars on leagues and stuff. What

199
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: is your risk management of Ronald Acunya this year? What's

200
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: the what's the magic eightyp spot for you? For him?

201
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: He's gotta be fourth round for me to really want

202
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: to work and like, you're just not gonna have that happen,

203
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: especially in the NFBC world, right Like people are gonna

204
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: see that upside and go, hey, I want a Ronald

205
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: Acunya because he can be the best player on a

206
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: per played appearance. Basis, the problem is in NFBC specifically,

207
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: you don't have enough IL spots or you have zero

208
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: IL spots, so like, yeah, you're having to carry that

209
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 2: on your bench. You don't know when he's going back.

210
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: Even in leagues where you only have one or two

211
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: IL spots, it's really difficult to roster because you're gonna

212
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: suffer other injuries. So for me, I would not be

213
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: drafting Ronald Lacunya at cost right now. But I understand

214
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 2: why people chance that upside.

215
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a good conversation. I think it's very helpful

216
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: to everybody out there too, because the temptation of a

217
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: Kunya obviously is huge off the charts. I think I

218
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: would sput the difference. I'd go fourth round. Rika, Where

219
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: would you go for Akunya? I know you're on the clock.

220
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: Can you walk into you gum at the same.

221
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: Time, we'll see I think Acunya for me is probably

222
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: like a mid third round value something along those lines,

223
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: depending on format. I wouldn't have any problem if somebody

224
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: in an IL format wants to move him up a

225
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: little higher than that, because then you especially if it's

226
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: like a ten team league. My home league is ten

227
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: team head to head categories, and I'm going to target

228
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: a Kunya because there's IL there. The replacement level is

229
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: so so high, even if I only get four and

230
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: a half months when I like that. But in leagues

231
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: where you have limited or no IL spots, he's probably

232
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: a mid third for me. And I have no problem

233
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: with Justin's fourth round valuation either. I think that's that's

234
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: totally fair.

235
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a little more fast and loose I think

236
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: I would go in the third round there for him,

237
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: especially the more shallow league, the more willing I am

238
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: to do it. So ten or twelve team, Yeah, we

239
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: get to fourteen, that's what I'm a little more risk

240
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: averse to him. So after we have Garret crochetgo, Raphael

241
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: de Nevers, Matt Olsen, Michael Harris, then Justin Mason at

242
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: the turn here for the three four Manny Machado and

243
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Class a. Machado is a guy that I find

244
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: to be, you know, continuously underrated every year and underappreciated.

245
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: I like the steady eddie manny Machado and it looks.

246
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 2: Like you do two Mason, Yeah, I mean, and he

247
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: was my third round pick in TGFBI. I just think

248
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: he is about as stable as you can get, a

249
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: guy who can completely just deliver. You pencil him in

250
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: on like perfect. You know, thirty homers, one hundred RBIs

251
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: decent batting average, like He's just stable and it's easy

252
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: to work around.

253
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: Easy to work around. That's that's the key right now,

254
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: all right after that selection, Contraras Burns. All right, So

255
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: George Kirby to you, Joe Rico, how do you feel

256
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: about that tandem of Crochet and Kirby as the front

257
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: of your rotation.

258
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: I really really like it. I think it's a great pairing.

259
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: I'm going best player available a lot of the time

260
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 3: in the early rounds, and I think the pairing makes sense.

261
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: But I also think that Kirby just at the time

262
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: was the best player on the board. But when I'm

263
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: talking about pairing somebody who has the massive strikeout upside

264
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: with the consistency that Kirby brings with a low whip.

265
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: I really like that as a one two.

266
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: All Right, after Kirby goes, you have Cole Reagan's, Blake Snell,

267
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gram. I took Brent Rooker because I love

268
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: me some Brent Rooker. I love the power. Really surprised

269
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: how this draft is going for me. This is not

270
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: what I thought I'd be doing here, but this is

271
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: where the values falling. Every draft is a snowflake. It's

272
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: so perfect and unique on its own. Corey Seeger goes next,

273
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: O'Neil cruz Azzi, albis than Dylan Cees at the five

274
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: oh one, five oh two, Wyatt Langford off the board,

275
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: Jose al Twoba at five oh three, and Langford's gone,

276
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: which means I decided to reach for James Wood at

277
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: five h four because he's got power, he's got speed,

278
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: he's got batting average, he's got it all. I'm a

279
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: big fan of James Wood. Let's talk about him for

280
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: a second, Mason, because I think James Wood this time

281
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: next year is going to be going probably in the

282
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: late second round. Therefore, I think in the fifth round

283
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: he's a steal. Do you think I took him a

284
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: little too early, ADP suggests, maybe I did. But what

285
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: does Justin Mason suggest?

286
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: I think you should throw ADP out the window and

287
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: go get your guys. ADP is a collection of data

288
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: points that includes the team that's going to finish last

289
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: in the league as well as a team that's going

290
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: to finish first.

291
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: A right, but that is the most zen thing you've

292
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: ever said, and you've said a lot of zen things.

293
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 2: I mean, it's true, right, It's a collection of every

294
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: member of a league, and you know the last place

295
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: team has waited the same as much as the first

296
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: place team. Use it as a guide to know, like

297
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: especially the mid max is like, hey, how early would

298
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: I need to go in order to get this guy?

299
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: Or how late could I potentially wait? But it's not

300
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: really that useful from a drafting perspective, right, because it's

301
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 2: weighing a bunch of teams that are not going to

302
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: cash in your league. So I don't think ADP is

303
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: that useful. Have your own projections, have your own ranks,

304
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: and go buy that. Don't worry about ADP. If someone

305
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: lasts at you, you can laugh at them at the

306
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: end of the season.

307
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: All right, Now, was that just pilibustering because you didn't

308
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: like the James Wood pick or No.

309
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: Actually, like I think for a young guy, I think

310
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: he has a pretty safe floor, especially with the speed.

311
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: I think his hit tool is is still developing a

312
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: little bit. I think the power is still developing a

313
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: little bit. But you know, progression isn't linear, and this

314
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: could be a guy that really takes off. Like I

315
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: think he's a pretty safe guy, but with a massive upside,

316
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: very similar like Jackson Turio was coming into last year.

317
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cherio player. I'm very high on this year, but

318
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: not getting a lot of pieces. I got him in

319
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: a draft the other day. We did though, I think

320
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: one of the last drafts we did. I finally did

321
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: snag a share there of him. All right, let's continue

322
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: on with the draft board. See what it looks like

323
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: here after I took Wood, Ozuna goes Garrett Cole, goes,

324
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: Devin Williams, goes Mason Miller. All right, so closer time,

325
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: Joe Rico. When you have mandatory closer spots, it does

326
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: force the hand a little bit more towards the relievers.

327
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: I find that when I take relievers early, though, I'm

328
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: missing out on a little offense or starting pitcher, and

329
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just not my move. So why

330
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: Mason Miller?

331
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: Now?

332
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: For you, I know he gives you, you know, strikeouts,

333
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: obviously gives you a lot on the whip side too.

334
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Mason Miller and what those builds

335
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: look like when you start going reliever of these kind

336
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: of rounds.

337
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: For me, it's more so been the ugly builds that

338
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: have turned out of the Luke Weaver specs and the

339
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: Lucas air SAgs earlier in draft season. I typically am

340
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: more on your side there that I like to shop

341
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 3: a little bit later on, but I also like to

342
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: have at least one guy that I know is not

343
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: going to lose the job, one solid lockdown closer, and

344
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: then for the second guy, then I can kind of

345
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: shop in that little bit more variable range. I guess

346
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: you could say for guys that you're not one hundred

347
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: percent sure of, if it's like Carlos Astevez, if it's

348
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: an air seg, if it's maybe Justin Martinez or somebody

349
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: like that. That's kind of the way I like to

350
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: go about it. If I'm taking two guys from that range,

351
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: then you risk one of them losing the job. There's

352
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: players that could still get signed out. I think we're

353
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: probably at the point now where it's not as big

354
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: of a risk, but David Robertson's still out there. David

355
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: Robertson could sign as a closer potentially, and I'm not

356
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: necessarily expecting it, but I just like to lock down

357
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: at least one of them so that I just remove

358
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: that fear and I can just say, Okay, I'm getting

359
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: thirty saves here regardless.

360
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: Zeno Mieto four, Joe Rico, that's no fear for those

361
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: people who enjoy a little penta. That is c j

362
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: Abrams next at five oh nine, then Bryce Miller five

363
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: to ten, Josh Hater at five to eleven. Then you

364
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: have Justin Mason at the turn, taoskarnandez Edwin Diaz. I

365
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: know you're on the clock again. Welcome back to you

366
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: here ya, I'm Amoto at six h two, then Diaz,

367
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Michael King, and then Joe Rico. You stole Pablo Lopez

368
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: for me? How dare you? How dare you? He was

369
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: my ideal number two guy, but now he's your three.

370
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good looking pitching staff. Are you worried?

371
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: Though you've gone one, two, three, four pitchers in a

372
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: row so far, just Tucker and Alvarez, you think you

373
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: can make up the difference here on offense.

374
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: I definitely can in a twelve teamer at least I

375
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: think I can pitching the way that it does eventually

376
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: dry up, because I know that the common narrative right

377
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: now is that pitching is very deep. Give it a

378
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, it's not going to be as deep

379
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: into I want to lock down at least a couple

380
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: of aces, and like I said, I'm kind of going

381
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: best player available there, and I think that Lopez, like

382
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: I wanted to go hitter. I really did want to

383
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: take a hitter there, but I didn't want to force

384
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: it when it didn't feel like that was the best

385
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: time based on my valuation. So I went with my

386
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: best player on the board, and that's Pablo Lopez. There's

387
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: the SP three. I'm very happy there now.

388
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Mason. At the turn here, you took Ti Oscar and

389
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz. You went into the closer game as well.

390
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: So are you somebody that has to come away, especially

391
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: in a mandatory RP situation, with at least one guy

392
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: that you feel really good about or are you willing

393
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: to let the draft come to you?

394
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: I think a twelve team league, I'm more willing to

395
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: let the draft come to me than I would be

396
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: in a fifteen team league. Being said, there's a limited

397
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: amount of closers, and I don't want to deal with

398
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: the guys who are going to be sharing roles or

399
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: potentially losing their jobs. So I grab closers as early

400
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: as it possibly can, just to make sure I don't

401
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: have to deal with that. Because you're going to pay

402
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 2: for Saves one way. They're going to pay for Mint

403
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: the draft table, You're gonna pay for him in season,

404
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: and rather just pay from the draft table and worry

405
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: about other things.

406
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: See, I'd rather spend all the fab chasing Saves. Sounds

407
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: like an Adell song. I'm pretty sure there might be

408
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: one that's coming in on the new album. Possibly all right,

409
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: So after Pablo Lopez at six oh five, Framber Valadez

410
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: off the Bard, Marcus Simeon, Mark Vientos Goes, I took

411
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence Butler. I'm feeling good about Lawrence Butler. Look at me.

412
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: We'll give you two a's what's the word? Uctioned me

413
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: Athletics pardon me, pardon me, I I gotta change my

414
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: verbiage here. Butler a guy that had a magnificent summer.

415
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: I think he can build on it again, power, speed,

416
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: everything there. Rutchman goes than Helsley Imonaga at the turn

417
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: at seven oh one, Willia Damas. Then you have Rhyso Iglesias,

418
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: Tyler Glass. Now I took Josh Nayler at seven oh four.

419
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: We were getting a little dry there at the corners,

420
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: and I certainly needed one. So I'm gonna ask you this,

421
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Mason Williadamas, really good player, great season in Milwaukee. Now

422
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: he's with your San Francisco Giants. Obviously, the ballpark factor

423
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: is going to factor in a little bit to his ADP.

424
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: Is Willias steal here at this adp? Or is he

425
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: still a little tenus based on the change of ballpark

426
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: factor from Milwaukee to San France.

427
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: It's not just a change of ballback ballpark factor, but

428
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: that is definitely playing into it. It's also just a

429
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: much worse offensive team in a much worse offensive park,

430
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 2: in a team that does not steal. Right. They were

431
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: like bottom five and stolen bases as a team in

432
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. I don't see that changing, whereas Milwaukee's

433
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: the top five teams team stolen bases, right, So I

434
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: think all those things make Willia Domas worse in twenty

435
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: twenty five. Now, I do think that the ADP is

436
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: probably a little bit too harsh on a Damas. People

437
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: are downgrading that a little bit too far. And we

438
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: see this all the time. We're seeing it with these

439
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: A's players that you're just referencing that we're seeing prices

440
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: get out of control on some A's hitters and some

441
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay hitters because they're going to be in these

442
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: minor league parks. You should always take advantage of the

443
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: opposite of what the general public is doing. And so

444
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: I think a Damis represents one of the last sky

445
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: Is at shortstop that I really want to roll with

446
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 2: at that position, and so I'm okay waiting on him,

447
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: but just know it's not going to be as pretty

448
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: as it was in Milwaukee.

449
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: All right, Let's continue on the draft board. See how

450
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: things are flying here. I took Josh Naylor at seven

451
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: oh four, then Luis Robert at seven o five. I

452
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: had so many outfielders I decided to go at Naylor

453
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 1: instead of Robert team six, go ahead and take Christian

454
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: Walker Junior Kmenaro at seven oh seven. I was hoping

455
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: I could make one more round, but obviously I could not.

456
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: So Brian Reynolds at seven o eight to Joe Alrico,

457
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: that's a nice offensive player. It gives you a lot there,

458
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds, very underrated, very underappreciated. Anthony santanderre at seven

459
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: o nine, Brenton Doyle, Jordan Westburg, and then Justin Mason.

460
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: You went and you took Matt McClain for me out

461
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: of my queue, and then Logan Webb. Now I am

462
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: in on mcclan. You look good in the Fall League,

463
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: had some power there. So far, so good in spring.

464
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: To me, it's just him getting at bats again. And

465
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: with Spencer Steer being heard, I think that also clears

466
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: up a little space here potentially for an easier path

467
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: for mclan. Let's talk about McLain and Webb. One of

468
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: the most consistent guys to make it thirty starts every year,

469
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: but it was a rough end to the season. Any

470
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: concerns with the end of the season for Web and

471
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: what are your expectations for mclin.

472
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, real concerns, and I'm not a big Web guy,

473
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: but in a quality starts format, you know he's gonna

474
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: go deep into games, right like the Giants are gonna

475
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: let him get his six. So and there are other

476
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: guys down below that actually have rated higher than him

477
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: that I know I can get in the next kind

478
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: of next turn that I'm gonna make here. So usually

479
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: if if you, you probably never see me draft Lagan Web,

480
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: especially in an NFBC for it, because I'm going to

481
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: reach on the guys that I want that are going

482
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: a little bit later in a in a Fantasy pros

483
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: mock draft, or in an ESPN or Yahoo league or

484
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: something like that. But just a stable force McLain, I love.

485
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: I was a little worried coming into draft season about

486
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: the health. But he's healthy right now. He looks good

487
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: in spring, look great in ears on a fall league.

488
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: Like you said, I think he could have a massive

489
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: season all right.

490
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: So possible massive season coming. I have a I have

491
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: a tricky decision on the board here right now. Is

492
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: this the time where I try to take Mike Trout

493
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: because he's still around? Do I dare do it to myself?

494
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: Do I hate my life? If I do that justin

495
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: Mason will I.

496
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: Uh, you might, but it's it's a twelve teamers so

497
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: and in not very like deep benches, so like there's

498
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of room on the waiver wire

499
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: to pick up guys for him when he eventually does

500
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 2: get hurt. But in ob league, like it's still on

501
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: a you know basis or played appear in spasis. Mike

502
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: Trout is a stud still, so like that's.

503
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: How I think in the OBP. So you know what,

504
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's have some fun. Welcome back to

505
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: that pick in just a second. Here, I want to

506
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: run through the rest of these after Web Nola, Grason Rodriguez,

507
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo, Freddy Peralta goes next, then Hunter Green, Tanner

508
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: Byby I took Mike Trout, Salvador Perez goes next, and

509
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: then cal Rawley, Hunter Brown, Joe, Ryan, Max Freed, Cody Bellinger.

510
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: Now I passed because I thought I had some pictures

511
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: there that I still felt pretty good about, and I did.

512
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: And his name is see McClanahan. So I'm gonna go

513
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: ahead and just go here with a picture that is

514
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: normally an ace, normally a guy people would take as

515
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: a one. He's now my two. Now I've waited on pitching.

516
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: We'll see how this works out here. Joe Rico hit

517
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: the pitching like a like a Justin Mason, uh, you know,

518
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: in a murder shed. I feel like I feel like

519
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm like a Norm McDonald mood today, Like, oh boy,

520
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: it is Justin Mason. He sure does murder starting pitching. Ah, God,

521
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: look at him. He's got he's got a wagon.

522
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 2: He really upset at Team nine. I don't know who

523
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 2: Team nine is the robot in the parking lot robot

524
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 2: Team nine.

525
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: So let's go through the Team nine roster. For the

526
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: people not watching on the YouTube channel, subscribe to the

527
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, get us a twenty five thousand. That's what

528
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: we're trying to do by opening day. Team nine, Mookie Skeens,

529
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: Raphael Devers, Alonzo Abrams, Michael King, Santander Castillo, Schwellenbach. This

530
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: could be the the Jordan Mason robot for all we know,

531
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean, just a Mason robot.

532
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: For I like their team. I'm not gonna lie like that.

533
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: That is as a pretty fun team right there, especially

534
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: that pitching stuff. But Schwellenbach I have as a top

535
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: ten pitcher this year.

536
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: Is the fourth starter on team and.

537
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: He's their fourth starter this year.

538
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 3: So like you have in the top ten, justin I.

539
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: Do, and I'm about to take someone that I know

540
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: Joe doesn't like.

541
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: Right, So, no, I like Bailey Ober? Is that is that?

542
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: Joe was talking some mad trash on Twitter about Bailey

543
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: Ober the other day.

544
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: Oh Joe, that Joe? What do you mean? I like

545
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: Bailey over? You gotta specify your Joe's here. Confusing for me.

546
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: We've got multiple Joe's here. So I was hoping to

547
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 2: get schwelle Bach and Ober right there. That was the

548
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: gamble I took. I wish I now had taken Schwelling

549
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 2: back last round over Logan Web. But then I'll go grab,

550
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: you know, like a Zach Gallon, who I just think

551
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: is perpetually underrated this year.

552
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: Deal that is such a steal right there. So mcclana

553
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: and Contreras steer Volpi, Bregman goes to a Rico, Schwellenbach

554
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: goes to Team nine feel expatista Kwan. Then Mason took

555
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: Ober and Zach Gallen. I can't agree with you more.

556
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean Zach Gallen absurd. I think that he goes

557
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: where he goes here, Tristan Costas a teo to Will Smith,

558
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: Bobashett at Team nine, Joe a Rico right out from

559
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: under you. That's got to be very upsetting. So how

560
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: do you pivot here? Let's talk about Bregman and then

561
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: this next pick you're going to make here.

562
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, Bregman. I really think that that's a good

563
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: opportunity for him to still keep his fantasy value. I

564
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: don't think that he's going to be quite what he

565
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: was in Houston necessarily, but I think he can still

566
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 3: be really valuable. Plus he's likely going to be gaining

567
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: a multi position eligibility. I'm still not sure how that

568
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: whole thing's gonna shake out, but he should get second base.

569
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna take Juan Duran here with my second

570
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 3: of these two picks and just lock down that second

571
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: reliever spot. I really think that Duran has the potential

572
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: to give you close to one hundred strikeouts. I don't

573
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: want them to be playing any games with Griffin Jacks

574
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 3: or anything like that. I hope it just Duran, that's

575
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: the question. But I think he can give me thirty

576
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: saves with good ratios and probably ninety some odds strikeouts,

577
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: so and I also don't have to worry about relief now,

578
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: I don't have to worry about when Jeff Hoffmin's gonna

579
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: go and when the astavezes of the world. I can

580
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: just focus on filling out the rest of my team.

581
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: At this point as well.

582
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: I'm developing a theme with my pitching staff here. We'll

583
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: see if you can guess it. So after Deron Goo's

584
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: Riley Green, Royce Lewis, Andres Munios, Matt Chapman to me,

585
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: I needed a corner guy here, so let's take the

586
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: third basement. Chapman gave me fifteen steals last year, fingers

587
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: Cross could do the same. Definitely light ups and stolen bases.

588
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: We'll see if I can find some Later Sunny Gray

589
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: than Justin Steele won at ten eleven, Rookie Sazaki at

590
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: ten twelve, Robert Suarez at eleven oh one, eleven oh two,

591
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty, then Vinnie Pasquentino. I took Sandy al Contra,

592
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: So al Contra, Shane McClanahan, two guys returning from Tommy John.

593
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: But so far it seems like no problems, and I

594
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: feel like I've got three aces here, Mason, is.

595
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: Is your theme for your pitching staff? Guys who won't

596
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: make it through the season.

597
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: Yes, it is guys that will make it for the

598
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: season for one thousand. Why why won't they make it

599
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: through the season. You know, everybody's everybody's falling over themselves

600
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: to draft Jacob de Gram who hasn't thrown a hunting

601
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen, and Sandil Contra and Shane mcclanann are

602
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: going rounds rounds later, and one of those guys just

603
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: want to say young a couple of years ago.

604
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: I actually don't have necessarily a problem with uh with

605
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: the top of it with with a Chris Sale, I

606
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: do worry about a guy like Seane mclann and a

607
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: guy like Saniel Contra, just because community control are tricky.

608
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: We saw it last year with Robbie Ray coming back

609
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: from the from the Tommy John surgery, where like he

610
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 2: came in his first start, he looked like vintage Robbie Ray,

611
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 2: elite Robbie Ray, like was I think it's throwing five

612
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: perfect innings before they've pulled him out, and then the

613
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 2: next start he comes in, he can't find his own

614
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: at all. And that's what happens with these guys coming

615
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: back from Tommy John sure is they struggle with consistency

616
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: in their command and control. I prefer McClanahan overall contract

617
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: because all contract is one on a terrible team where

618
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: he's not gonna get wins. Now, this is a quality

619
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: start league, so.

620
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: He's got a terrible team for the first three months

621
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: of the season. That's the capital for.

622
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: The first three months. This is I don't think they're

623
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: going to trade him. They the contract to team friendly

624
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: and then he is a pitcher who relies on committal control.

625
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: He's not an overpowering guy. And so I think for me,

626
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 2: if I'm going to take a gamble on one of

627
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: these guys, it's McLean and over our contract, oh.

628
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I think your assessment's absolutely correct, there's

629
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But I'm taking shots on these guys.

630
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: I think the difference with Robby ray too is the

631
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: amount of time of him coming back and maybe trying

632
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: to push to come back at the end of the season.

633
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: Mclana has been gone a very long time, while Contras

634
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: on the normal schedule coming back, and I think also

635
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: coming back in spring with everybody else and the hitters

636
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: and the pitching coaches around you and all that. I

637
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: think is a very different environment than rehabbing on your

638
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: own and trying to come back late in the season.

639
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: I think it's very different. They feel like they're on

640
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: a normal, getting ready kind of pace, and I think

641
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: that does go a long way. Pitchers are creatures of habit.

642
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: They are very strange birds, and to me, I think

643
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: that is crucial for them mentally to feel like this

644
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: is just a regular offseason. I'm preparing as normal. You

645
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,400

666
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: get back here to the draft. After where do we

667
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: leave off? Sandy alcntra, Ian Happ goes at eleven oh five,

668
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: Jake Bergert eleven oh six, Ryan Walker, then Joel Rico

669
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: takes Randy A. Rosarina eleven oh eight, Christian Yellich at

670
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: eleven oh nine, then Xavier Edwards and Olas Garcia. Then

671
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: Mason you took Terrang and Dylan Cruz. Love Dylan Cruz.

672
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: Question for you about Terrang? If these stolen bases drop

673
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: off save from fifty to thirty six. Is that a

674
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: pick you end up hating, Uh.

675
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: For sure. But I don't think they're going to drop off.

676
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: I actually think, if anything, they could even increase. Terrang

677
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: is a much better in zone hitter than I think

678
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: a lot of people give him credit for it. Is

679
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: a good defender, so I think he's going to be

680
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: playing every single day. I think the batting average will

681
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: bounce back, and I think those stolen bases are going

682
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: to be fine. And this team right now needed stolen bases,

683
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: so I kind of had to make this pick, had

684
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: to make the pick.

685
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: Forced into a corner. That's where he is right now.

686
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue on here with the draft board,

687
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: Joe Rico when it comes back to you after Dylan

688
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: Cruz Tovar, Spencer Strider, Jared Jones, Jonathan India, so Rose

689
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: Arena in India, let's discuss those two players and what

690
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: you think about them in twenty twenty five.

691
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah a Rose Raina, Well, both of them really get

692
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: a nice bump from OBP. Both of their batting averages

693
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 3: leave something to be desired, especially Rose Raina. Last season

694
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: it was brutal. He batted two nineteen, but he walked

695
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: eleven percent of the time, so the on base is

696
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 3: still there, almost a guaranteed. Twenty twenty, I did need

697
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: a little bit more balance in those two categories with

698
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: a Rose Arena and with Jonathan India, I think he's

699
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: going to be leading off for Kansas City. I had

700
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: of Bobby with Junior, I had a VINTP ahead of

701
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: sal so he should have the potential to score one

702
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: hundred runs while giving me probably a three forty ish

703
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 3: on base percentage, And I really like that. I don't

704
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 3: want to focus in too much on on base percentage,

705
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: but these guys are also very well balanced assets that

706
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: also just get a bump from their OBP.

707
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: Going back to Dylan Cruz real quick, I took James Wood,

708
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: Mason took Dylan Cruz. Who do you prefer jul Rico

709
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: at their current ADP in terms of return on investment?

710
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: Sorry, Dylan Cruz and Hill Cruise and James would in

711
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 3: terms of return on the investment? Yeah, in the ADP

712
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: like obviously later, Yeah, Cruz is probably a better bargain.

713
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 3: Welsh and I talked about him yesterday. He could probably

714
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 3: go like fifteen and thirty if things break right. I

715
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: think James Wood is really really good, but he's a

716
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: top fifty pick and he's got a serious groundball problem.

717
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 3: Like that's I think a legitimate problem. Can he fix it? Yeah,

718
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: but his launch angle last year was like two degrees.

719
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: He has enough rob power to mitigate that. But I

720
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: also think that Cruz going one hundred picks later, I

721
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 3: think is probably a bit of a safer play to

722
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: return value.

723
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: All right, all right, we'll see how the draft goes here.

724
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: I am up on the clock. I don't love what

725
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: I've got in front of me, so I'm gonna make

726
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: a pick here and continue on. So after India, Shane

727
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: Langliers goes, Luis Garcia goes, code I Singa Than I

728
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: took Brian Wu. I was hoping Rodin would make it

729
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: back to me, but he did not. Ezac Parides goes next.

730
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: Another pick that I was hoping for. Mi Q got

731
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: absolutely obliterated. In these next couple of picks. Here, Xander

732
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: Bogart's Carlos Rodonna twelve twelve, that thirteen oh one, Jason

733
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: Dominguez Pete Carl armstrong erseg goes, and I took Seth Lugo,

734
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: who had a phenomenal season last year. He was one

735
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: of my breakout guys in the Fantasy BlackBook last season,

736
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty one strikeouts, a three E A

737
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: one O nine whip, he threw two hundred innings. I

738
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: get it, like people say it came out of nowhere,

739
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: but it didn't if you were paying attention to San

740
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: Diego the year before Mason. Where are you at with

741
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Seth Lugo? I mean, at thirteen oh four, it seems

742
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: like a guy that isn't getting enough respect considering what

743
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: he did last year. And it wasn't out of the

744
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: blue because all the earmarks were there for a big

745
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: season after twenty twenty four.

746
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't out a blue. He's always been a

747
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: very good pitcher. He just has vacillated between being a

748
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: starter and a reliever and moved to a great park

749
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: in Kansas City. I think he is one of those

750
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: kind of safe glue guys that I like in a

751
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: twelve teamer. I don't know that I draft him very

752
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: often because I just don't see the massive upside that

753
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: you're looking for in those kind of leagues. He's kind

754
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: of a guy you stream in and out of your

755
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 2: lineup as opposed to someone you rely upon, but in

756
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: a fifteen teamer I love him because it gives you

757
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: that volume that is so king in fifteen teamers, and

758
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: I think he gets underrated, similar to like teammate Michael Walker,

759
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: who's just been a fantastic picture that nobody seems to

760
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: talk about because he doesn't like have these huge amount

761
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: of a huge strikeouts, but the volume matters, and being

762
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 2: in a good stadium like that can matter. And so yeah,

763
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 2: I definitely like Lugo more in a deeper league setting,

764
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: but just generally speaking.

765
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I mean, Lugo kind of started

766
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: off the year a little lukewarm in terms of strikeouts

767
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: and then they started to really pop and come on.

768
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: So just kind of interesting to see how that ended

769
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: up just unfolding at a certain point. But again, I

770
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: don't know what he needs to do to prove everything

771
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: to everybody. And as my let's see where he's my

772
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: fifth starter, I'll go to war with Seth Lugo my

773
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: fifth start. This is a guy who has been exciting

774
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: conversation last year. So yeah, all right, I gotta eventually,

775
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: I guess take a closer here, at some point, so

776
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. Maybe Pete Fairbanks can actually

777
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: stay healthy for a season. We'll see I've gotten some

778
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: value picks. Thanks Draft Wizard. Appreciate the thumbs up. I

779
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: need that kind of encouragement. It's very important for me.

780
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,479
Speaker 1: So after Seth Lugo, Logan OHOPPI then Brandon Neimo thirteen

781
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: oh six, Kerry Carpenter, Bryson Stott to Joe Arico Tanner.

782
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: Scott goes next, Nico Horner, Yuenio Suarez, Justin Mason. You

783
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: took Munsei and Colton Kowser. Your thoughts on Kowser this year,

784
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: and I also want to ask you about the Orioles too.

785
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: If Kobe Mayo Kurstad holiday all push and perform, does

786
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: Kowser get pushed, does Westburg get pushed? How does that

787
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: all work out?

788
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't think either would necessarily get pushed. Cowser is

789
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: a really, really good defender and one of the reasons

790
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: why he continues to play even when he does struggle.

791
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: So he will go through kind of ups and downs,

792
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: but he's got a lot of powers, a little bit

793
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: of speed, and he just plays such good defense that

794
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 2: the Oriols are going to give him opportunities. I think

795
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: if anybody gets pushed out of that outfield, it might

796
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: be Cedric Mullens, my boy, which is sad from a

797
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: personal standpoint because I've made a career on calling Cedric

798
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 2: Mullens before anybody else. But I think Kowser's defense will

799
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: definitely keep him in there. Westburg I'm not as big

800
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 2: of a fan of but I think he will just accumulate.

801
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: It's just to me, like he doesn't do anything spectacularly,

802
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 2: so he needs that volume, and we did see him

803
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: lose time last year to injuries. So I'm a little

804
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: bit more scared about Westburg than I am about Kowser,

805
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: and Westburg's going way too high for me, especially recently

806
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: in drafts.

807
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, Westburg is the guy that really scares me too,

808
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you kind of said that, like just

809
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned there. I am buying back in

810
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: big time though. On Jackson Holiday. So after the cows

811
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: Aer pick, we have Kevin Gosman, Jerkson Profar casting on us,

812
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: and then Brandon Lao so Stott and Lao al Rico.

813
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 1: Let's discuss these two infield picks here back to back yeah.

814
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 3: I early in the draft, I took nothing but pitchers

815
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: and outfielders, kind of similarly similarly to what we did

816
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: on the mock maybe a few weeks ago, Joe, where

817
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: I just packed up the outfield. So I needed to

818
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 3: fill in some of these infielder positions, and I think

819
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 3: I got a lot of values, Like you know, lowing

820
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: the fourteenth Stot in the thirteenth, I got Danzy Swanson

821
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: in the fifteenth. It just feels like really solid picks,

822
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 3: guys who are just overall contributors, who aren't going to

823
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 3: really hurt you anywhere. That are just really solid guys

824
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: that are falling about around past ADP generally speaking. So

825
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 3: it does change things because it's on base percentage and

826
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 3: it probably confuses people, But I think that these are

827
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 3: all really solid picks. My own base percentage right now

828
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 3: is projected to be second in the league behind some

829
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 3: guy named Joe Pizzapia, So I'll take that.

830
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: Well, Jan Soto equates for about ninety percent of that. Yeah,

831
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: So just so I'm winning the OBP war, I'm I'm

832
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: behind on stolen bases. This is one of the great

833
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: things too about Draft Wizard is you can look and

834
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: see where the categories are. So if you're playing in

835
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: rotal formats, I mean it's it's a dream man. Obviously

836
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm behind on saves too, so I've got to figure

837
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: that out. Uh, but quality starts again right now. It's

838
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: showing me at thirteen, it's showing Joe Rico at eleven.

839
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: So for all those pictures you took, you're still behind me.

840
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: Joe A. Rico. Do you feel like that's stop being

841
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: fair draft Wizard maybe not being fair with you.

842
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to talk to the devs. This is ridiculous.

843
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a long conversation. I'm going to write

844
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: a strongly worded letter. Oh my goodness, shortstop has dried

845
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: up and I am not a happy boy right now

846
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: because Carlos Correa is gonna have to be a selection

847
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: for me. Do I have to do that to myself?

848
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: I hate life right now. I don't think I have

849
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: much of a choice. But while I'm all that decision,

850
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: let's continue to look at the rest of the picks.

851
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: Here after Brenton Lao, Paul Golschman, Alec Bohm, Trevor McGill,

852
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: Luis re Rengifo to me at second base. Then Mason

853
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: Win goes next to shortstop. That's the guy that I

854
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: really wanted to make it back. He did not very upset.

855
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: I'm just getting crushed here at the turn with these

856
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: three teams. Mason Win, Ronaldo Lopez, That's okay, he can go.

857
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: J t Real Muto at fourteen twelve, then Jeff Hoffman

858
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: start fifteen oh one. You say, Kakuchi at fifteen oh two,

859
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: Josh Low at fifteen oh three. Then I took Fairbanks.

860
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: After that, Brandon fought Stevenson, Jeremy Panya. Nice value there.

861
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: Dansby Swanson to Joe Rico Dansby, what do you think

862
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: of the Cubs this year? I'm in on the Cubs,

863
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: and I feel like Dansby needs to elevate a little

864
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: bit because the rest of this team is getting better

865
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: around him. Do you think that is going to help

866
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: him kind of reach that next level.

867
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: I don't know that he's gonna necessarily reach another level.

868
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 3: I think he can probably do something like similar to

869
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 3: what he did in twenty two or twenty three. Give

870
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: you like low twenties homers, really good counting stats, counting

871
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 3: on him for some steals, the on base percentage, is

872
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: nice because he walks close to ten percent of the time,

873
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 3: So even though the batting average is in the two

874
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 3: forty range, the on base should be in the three twenty.

875
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: Hopefully he can get up to three thirty. So I

876
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 3: just feels like a really balanced player. In terms of

877
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 3: the Cubs overall, I think the Cubs offense is fantastic.

878
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 3: I think they're super deep one through eight. Mcelmayah even

879
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: I shouldn't slander mcgalamya, he's not too bad. The whole

880
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: lineup really is very, very solid now. Like I alluded

881
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: to earlier, we talked about it last week, Justin and

882
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: I about how Wrigley is awful for left handed hitters.

883
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 3: So probably not the greatest news for Kyle Talker Michael Bush,

884
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 3: Pete car Armstrong investors because they do take a little

885
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 3: bit of a hit there. But I think this team

886
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 3: is really really underrated.

887
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: I do too. I think they're gonna make a strong

888
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: run for that division. I think they smell blood in

889
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: the water. The Cardinals are week Pittsburgh doesn't have enough offense.

890
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's still trying to figure themselves out a little bit.

891
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: But look, if Swanson can bounce back, we're in a

892
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: good spot there. Certainly he would be a huge contributor

893
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: for that team. Kyle Finigan goes next to fifteen oh nine,

894
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: then Christopher Sanchez, Ryan Mountcastle, Justin Mason, look at you,

895
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: Robbie right, and Spencer Arraghetty, who that was another target

896
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: of mine in this draft. Arrogedtty the first few starts

897
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: of the year terrible, the last twelve dominant, which Spencer Araghedty.

898
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: You think we're gonna get in twenty twenty five?

899
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, but my team really needed strikeouts. You

900
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 2: know what, Let's go get some strikeouts here while while

901
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: I still can't. And Arraghetty and Robbie Ray really fit

902
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 2: the bill right there. So I've got to figure out

903
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 2: another guy who can go get some strikeouts. I'm gonna

904
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: go with Nickeldolo, even though that medium scares the crap

905
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 2: out of me, but I needed those strikeouts. And sometimes

906
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 2: when you're playing these kind of leagues, you gotta make

907
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: a pick you don't necessarily want to, just because you

908
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 2: can go and get a category that helps you.

909
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, So after you took Araghedtty, Jackson Holiday goes

910
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: at sixteen oh two. Yondi Diaz Luis hell, Ryan Pepio

911
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: to Joe Rico, Andre Simenez, then Alexis Diaz Arise. I

912
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: ended up taking Korea, but grudgingly Correa goes to me.

913
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: Then Taylor Ward Francisco Alvarez, who I am high on

914
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: this year. I like the adjustments he's made in the

915
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: offseason here with the bat being in a different position,

916
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond at the turn seventeen oh one, Michael Tolia

917
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: seventeen oh two, Lane Thomas Barrios, and then Nate Avaldi

918
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: to be at seventeen oh four. He was the biggest

919
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: boost on the board, so I took him Show Mania

920
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: the Team five, Bednar Jackson job and then Eflyn so Arico,

921
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: Pepio and Eflyn building some rotation depth. Eflin's not a

922
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: guy that I'm in on. I think the Orioles are

923
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: going to take a step back this year. Grayson Rodriguez,

924
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: I love. I just feel like they had they had

925
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: everything in their hands and then it kind of fell

926
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: apart at the end. You let Corbyn Burns walk. You

927
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: really didn't replace him. I don't know. I'm just the

928
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: Orioles I think are It's weird. I think they're in

929
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: a retool, which sounds bizarre because I've got all these

930
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: young players coming up, But I look at the pitching

931
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: staff and I'm just not impressed. What is intriguing to

932
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: you about Zach Kaflin sell me on Ethel this year?

933
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: Well, you don't think Charlie Morton is a good replacement

934
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 3: for Court?

935
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 1: When pitchers are as old as me, I get very concerned.

936
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: Like you're a very young man, Joe. You don't don't

937
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 2: talk about yourself.

938
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 1: I don't look a day over forty five.

939
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: So for Efflin. For me, the predictive nature of whip

940
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 3: has become something that I've focused in on quite a bit.

941
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: Previous season's whip for Affluent over the last three years

942
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: one twelve, one oh two and one fifteen. He gave

943
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 3: you a three fifteen era last season. The strikeouts aren't

944
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: quite what you're hoping for, necessarily, but I already have

945
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 3: a hell of a lot of strikeouts. I got Pablo Lopez,

946
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 3: I got Garrett Crochet. I don't need to really worry

947
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 3: about strikeouts. He's more of a ratio booster for me

948
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: and Ryan Pepio. I just think he's gonna be an ace,

949
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 3: like I think you know over the edge last week

950
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 3: you know why why what did.

951
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: You know say? In that show? For those people whom

952
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: I missed it, you can go back and watch. We

953
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: have the Ultimate Pitching Guide show with Eno and then

954
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: part two with myself and Nick Pollock and then you

955
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: have the ADP battles there. But for those people who

956
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: want to miss that show, you can go back and

957
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: watch on the YouTube. But tell me about if you could,

958
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: just real quick what EO was talking about Pepio.

959
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: So again, just not to focus on it, but the

960
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 3: whip was really good. At one fifteen, he has five

961
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 3: pitches that are at least average in terms of stuff

962
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 3: grades out as a one oh seven overall stuff plus,

963
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 3: which is really good stuff plus. Just got a bit

964
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 3: of a facelift recently. I worry a little bit about

965
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: the ballpark and that could be something that holds him

966
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: back to some degree. But I think he's talented enough

967
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 3: to overcome some of the ballpark concerns. He's been fantastic

968
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 3: throughout his career, albeit it it's forty three games, thirty

969
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 3: six starts. He's a three twenty eight Era one thirteen

970
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 3: whip to go along with some of the stuff numbers.

971
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 3: The hard hit rate only at thirty seven percent. Ino

972
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 3: will describe it a lot more eloquently if you want

973
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: to go back and listen to that show. But he,

974
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 3: I think, is somebody that definitely has a chance to

975
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: take that next step forward this season.

976
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue on the next step of this

977
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: draft here, because after you took Pepio and Eflyn Sadoni Rafaela,

978
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: then Netto Neveda, Justin Mason takes Horis Hilaire and as

979
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: you mentioned Nick Lodolo. Now Lodolo is another one of

980
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: my sleeper pitchers too, and I heard you were excited

981
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: about taking him, So Mason to me, you know, sometimes

982
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: those lefties take a little bit longer in the pressure cooker.

983
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: But also you've got a situation where the health just

984
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: wasn't there. If the health is there, you've got some

985
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: good leadership there. Now with Francona there, you've got a

986
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: really exciting young team here. It looks like you're investing

987
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: in the Reds from this draft that we're doing here.

988
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 2: I like the Reds, and so I did this series

989
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 2: on TikTok earlier in the off season where I went

990
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 2: through every single team that I felt like could surprise

991
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 2: and make the playoffs. It didn't last year. And you

992
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: know what I did. I covered every single team in

993
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 2: the NL Central because I think every team in the

994
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: NL Central has an actually shot at winning this division.

995
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 2: Because the Brewers are taking a step back, the Cardinals

996
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 2: are taking a step back. The Cubs got a little

997
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 2: bit better, but not much better in the grand scheme

998
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: of things. Like the Reds are a really interesting team.

999
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 2: They need health. This team cannot stay healthy and they're

1000
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: already dealing with Spencer's ears bum shoulder issue right now.

1001
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: But if Lodolo can stay healthy, I think he is

1002
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 2: an elite starter. I really really like Nickelodolo, but the

1003
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 2: problem has been staying on the field on that mount

1004
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: So in a lead this size, where I know there's

1005
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: going to be replacement value for starting pitchers on the wire,

1006
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm totally fine taking a guy like Nicolodolo in a

1007
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 2: fifteen teamer.

1008
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: Maybe not, No, that makes sense. It's a good cell

1009
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: job on Nicolodolo too. I like where your head's at, Tanner,

1010
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: howk goes next? Then Luke Weaver at eighteen oh three,

1011
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: Shane Boz, Christopher Morel to a Rico who's on the

1012
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: clock for his next pick t j Friedel eighteen oh six,

1013
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: then Bradley Rasmussen. I took Zach Gelloff because I needed

1014
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: somebody in the middle infield. It's an OBP league, so

1015
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't care about his two eleven batting average, and

1016
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: I'll just take this deals in a little bit of

1017
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: the pop. Kelly Jansen goes next, Rounout Blanco, then Tyler O'Neil,

1018
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: Josh Young at the turn at nineteen oh one, Glaber

1019
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: tour Is at nineteen oh two, Parker Meadows at nineteen

1020
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: oh three. I took Bowden Francis, another pitcher I'm very

1021
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: high on. Maybe the Blue Jays are one of those

1022
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: teams that could make the playoffs this year. Blue Jays Athletics,

1023
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: I think very much in the mix this season. You

1024
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 1: Darvish goes next at nineteen oh five, then Ryan Weathers

1025
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: at nineteen oh six. Team seven, Mackenzie Gore, Joe Rico,

1026
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: Clark Schmidt. Now that's a picture. I think people are

1027
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: sleeping on pitches for a good team. Bullpen now has

1028
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: somebody solidified in the ninth inning role. If things break

1029
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: right for the Yankees, obviously, the upside is ninety five

1030
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: plus wins and Clark Schmidt. I mean, the quality start

1031
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: guy in league is seat of a wins league. Maybe

1032
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: we can have that discussion. But Schmid's a guy that's

1033
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, been waiting in the wain for a while

1034
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: now and had a good, solid season, kind of very

1035
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 1: under the radar last year. Let's talk about Clark Smiitt

1036
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: in this pick. He just made.

1037
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, people kind of forget about Clark Schmidt because he

1038
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 3: missed a lot of the year with injuries. But over

1039
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 3: his eighty five innings he had a two eighty five

1040
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 3: ERA one eighteen whip at eighteen percent strike up minus

1041
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 3: walk rate. He was very good. And now there was

1042
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 3: some concern throughout the offseason, kind of keeping the price down.

1043
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 3: I think of is he going to have a rotation spot?

1044
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah between all the Marcus Stroman stuff. Luis

1045
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 3: Heal got shut down yesterday, It's going to be like

1046
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 3: four to six weeks for him. Clark Smith absolutely has

1047
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 3: a spot in this rotation. I think the skills are

1048
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 3: good enough for him to probably give me double digit

1049
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 3: wins go one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty innings, hopefully,

1050
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:42,959
Speaker 3: because he won one hundred and sixty innings in twenty

1051
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 3: twenty three, down to eighty five last year. I'm kind

1052
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 3: of hoping he can just get back to that one

1053
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 3: fifty one sixty range and I should be able to

1054
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 3: return a decent profit on him. Here at the point

1055
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 3: of the draft post pick two hundred, it feels too

1056
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 3: late for him.

1057
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. Gabriel Moreno goes next Michael Garcio than

1058
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: Kirby Yates, JJ Bladena, Justin Mason. Another guy that had

1059
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: a good season last year, Austin Wells So JJ Bleday,

1060
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: a player that was in that Marl system for a while,

1061
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: a player that I liked. It took a lot of

1062
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: crap basically from a lot of scouts, I feel like,

1063
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: and I always thought was going to end up being

1064
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: a decent major league player, and we started to see

1065
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: that version of him last year with the Athletics. I'm

1066
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: excited for this Athletics team. I'm excited for Rooker Butler.

1067
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited for them to go be playing in Sacramento

1068
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: and get out of that trash ball park. What's the

1069
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: upside for Blade in twenty twenty five in your opinion.

1070
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 2: I think the upside is pretty massive. Moving from the

1071
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: Oakland Coliseum to that park. And here's the thing. I

1072
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 2: think on a better team, bla Day would not be

1073
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 2: playing full time. I think he'd be on a strong

1074
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 2: clvilaltoon he's not good against left handed pitching. But on

1075
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 2: the A's I think he may play every day. And

1076
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 2: while that may hurt the overall batting average and an

1077
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 2: on base percentage league, he walks at a double digit rate.

1078
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: He's got power. He's going to be moving to a

1079
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 2: park that's going to be much better for power. Like,

1080
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 2: could he be like a twenty eight to thirty homer

1081
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 2: guy with a kind of a decent average but a

1082
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: much better on base percentage? Yeah, I think he could.

1083
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 2: And like there's this is a team that is getting

1084
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 2: better around him. So I really like Bludey is kind

1085
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: of a late outfielder. They kind of take a gamble

1086
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 2: on all.

1087
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: Right, looking for some late possibilities there. Let's move to

1088
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 1: the next couple picks here in this draft, we're almost

1089
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: at the tail end. Here. You have Walker Buehler going

1090
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: next at twenty oh two, which also feels like a

1091
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: pretty good dart throw. Heli o'ramos, Sean Murphy Hazels Sozzardo

1092
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: di Jo Rico. If you didn't pull the trigger, I

1093
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: would I know you're up right now. Jeffrey springs up next.

1094
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: Then Mitch Keller Castro I took Brandon Woodriff at twenty

1095
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: oh nine. We're taking shots here if Woodriff works out.

1096
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: Nick Pollock just talked about it on the last show

1097
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: we did last week. If you missed it, go watch it,

1098
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: go listen. Why not take a shot on a guy

1099
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: who was looking like a front end starter And again,

1100
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: more strikeouts from Brandon Woodriff, Gavin Williams. That was what

1101
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: I was going back and forth beween those two guys.

1102
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: I ended up taking Woodriff because I'm sticking with the

1103
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: theme guys coming back from injury. What could go wrong?

1104
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: Starting pitchers? Nathaniel goes next, and then you have noan

1105
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: Aernado Rangers Suarez at twenty one oh one, Alex Burlson,

1106
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,919
Speaker 1: Reese Olsen. I took my catcher. Finally, Colt Keith goes next,

1107
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: than Michael Waka Cutter, Crawford, jul Rico, Ivan Herrera, Lozardo

1108
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 1: and Herrero. Your last two picks. Lozardo seems like nothing

1109
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: but upside at this ADP the twentieth round. You take

1110
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: a shot on a guy two years ago when a

1111
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: terrific season, He's got more offense behind him, he's got

1112
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: a better defense around him. It feels like a no brainer.

1113
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 1: And if it doesn't work out, you cut him.

1114
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. You and Welsh talked to me intil hages Lozardo

1115
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 3: I had got into my head for some reason. He

1116
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: was a lot older than twenty seven. I don't know why.

1117
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 3: I think he's just been around a long time, around

1118
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 3: a long time. Yeah, but I thought he was like

1119
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 3: thirty one or something, and at that point I'd be

1120
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 3: a little bit less interested. But at his age. He

1121
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 3: didn't pitch a ton last year, just sixty six innings.

1122
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 3: He's in a much better spot, no pressure on him

1123
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 3: as the number five starter in Philadelphia. I think it's

1124
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 3: a good bounce back opportunity. There's certainly at this point

1125
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 3: of the draft there are a few players with as

1126
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 3: much potential as Hazus Lozardo. Just a couple of years ago,

1127
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, he put up what was pretty

1128
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 3: close to a cy Young worthy campaign, and he really

1129
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 3: looked like he was starting to break out. Over those

1130
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 3: couple of years, until the injury bug got him. So

1131
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 3: I think it's a good point to buy back in here, all.

1132
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: Right, So buying back in Lozardo again on the cheap

1133
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: makes sense to me. I definitely like it all right

1134
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: after you went ahead and did that, Ivanarreira, Christian Carnascio,

1135
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: strand A. J. Puck Merril, Kelly Kumar Rocker, Justin Mason,

1136
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer. So two risky pitchers against late in the draft.

1137
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: We're taking shots here. You want to talk about innings concerns.

1138
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: I have them about Kamara Rocker. I think Rockers should

1139
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: be turned into a closer. Personally, I see a lot

1140
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: of Lease Smith and him Mason's that's my evaluation of him.

1141
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: What I watch, he writes me a lot of Lee myth.

1142
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: It's just big fastball coming at you, intimidating presence on

1143
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: the mount of Mex sus Er. I mean, what do

1144
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: you want to set the over under seventeen and a

1145
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: half starts? What do you want to take there?

1146
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 2: I probably take the under there. But he looks healthy

1147
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: right now, looks good in his first Springs start. Kamaracker

1148
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 2: looked great in his first spring story. But these are

1149
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 2: guys at the back end of your rowster that you're

1150
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 2: gonna drop that you're going to stream in and out.

1151
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 2: So take some upside, you know, gamble see if it works.

1152
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 2: If doesn't, you move on really really quickly.

1153
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So gambling time here, that's what we're doing in

1154
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: the draft. Cedric Mullens goes next. Who you say is

1155
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: your guy yet you passed on him. I'm just putting

1156
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: that out there. Tyler Fitzgerald, Jordan Romano. I was trying

1157
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: to snag him later, but it's okay. Francis qualifies at

1158
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: ourp so I'm just gonna start him there. See what

1159
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: I did. I'm just gonna just play the waiver wire.

1160
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna do. Jock Peterson, that goes next

1161
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: to Joe Ricos on the clock, Guriel Robless, Joey Ortiz.

1162
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 1: I took Cronin Worth for a bench bat here, Brandon Donovan,

1163
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Presley, Connor Wong to finish the twenty second round

1164
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: to begin the twenty third, Ben Joyce, Ryan McMahon, Justin Martinez.

1165
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: I took Clay Holmes another shot here. I keep talking

1166
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: about him being like that conversion of Derek Lowe years ago,

1167
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 1: but I think Holmes has some more strikeout ability extreme

1168
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: ground ball pitcher as I've done a good job with Manaiyah,

1169
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: a good job with sever Maybe Clay Holmes is that

1170
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: next reclamation project. Ree Detmer's Brady Singer another late pitcher

1171
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: that I really like. I think he's a solid, like

1172
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: bench starter, two start week guy. I like Brady Singer,

1173
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: Matt Shaw, and then Joe Rico takes David Festa, So

1174
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: Peterson and Festa two really good picks here. Festa guy.

1175
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: He might not start the year in the rotation, but

1176
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: I like what I saw from Festa. Those first two

1177
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: starts were a disaster. After that, things looked much better

1178
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: for him, so let's discuss him.

1179
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have been all in on David Festa. I

1180
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 3: think that there's a good chance he doesn't start in

1181
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,240
Speaker 3: the rotation. Like you said, I just don't think Simeon Woods,

1182
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 3: Richardson and Chris Paddock should keep him out for very long.

1183
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 3: Paddock has been a disaster for a while. Simmy Wood,

1184
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 3: Woods Richardson say that ten times Fast was a bit

1185
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 3: of a troubling guy last season from a fantasy point

1186
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 3: of view, like he was fine, but he's also not

1187
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 3: good enough that you'd want to start him in a

1188
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 3: lot of shallower leagues. I think Festa's talent is probably,

1189
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 3: you know, third or fourth best on that staff, and

1190
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 3: I think that by the time we're talking about mid May,

1191
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 3: he's going to be in that rotation. Whether it's due

1192
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 3: to an injury, whether it's due to Paddock falling on

1193
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 3: his face, I think the Fest that does have that

1194
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 3: job soon than later.

1195
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 2: The shade, the shade that Joe just through that. Ever,

1196
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 2: having actually say Bailey Ober's name is insane, right, because

1197
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 2: saying that David fest is the third or fourth best

1198
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 2: starter is pretty much just saying, oh, David Fest is

1199
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 2: better than Bailey Over. Which don't get me wrong, I

1200
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 2: love David Festa. I think he should be in this rotation.

1201
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's going to be, like Joe mentioned.

1202
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance that he starts the year

1203
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 2: in the minors because of paying Chris Paddock and for

1204
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 2: some reason they have a love affair with Simeon wis Richardson.

1205
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 2: But Bailey Over is still better than David Festa. Let's

1206
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 2: just stop with this nonsense.

1207
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 3: He is he is better than David Festa. He's fourth,

1208
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 3: all right, I'm just I'm just spewing narratives at this point.

1209
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 3: But blame it on Eno. Eo got into my head

1210
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 3: last week about Bailey Over.

1211
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 2: I love you. Nobody loves you know more than me.

1212
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 2: I owe partially owe my career in this industry to EEno, Sarah,

1213
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 2: but you know is wrong on Billy Over. You know

1214
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 2: he's insane on Bai. I have Billy Over as a

1215
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 2: top twenty pitcher this year, no questions asked. You have

1216
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 2: to remember if you take out that first start where

1217
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 2: he just was terrible, he was fantastic the rest of

1218
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 2: the way. Like, I think Billyover is gonna be fine.

1219
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 1: He's one of my one of my undervalue guys all year.

1220
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: It's funny because you mentioned heal earlier, Joe, when you

1221
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: were talking about the Yankee stuff too. He's my number

1222
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: one fade this year. You know, it's it's funny, how

1223
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: like some of these things are already starting to look

1224
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,479
Speaker 1: like they're true and we haven't even started the season

1225
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: or anything. They want to put too much in the spring,

1226
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes you know, these red flags are

1227
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: there for a reason, and the green flags are there

1228
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: for a reason. To pay attention to after Festa, Connor Norby,

1229
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: Nester Cortez, Estevez, you took Springer and Hoskins at the end.

1230
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: Here Mace Saganu goes next, Cabaljeriro Severino, last round nowt

1231
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: bar Bush, Grant Holmes, Bubba Chandler, Liam Hendrix to me.

1232
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: So hopefully he's a closer for the Red Sox. If not,

1233
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: I'll just pick up chat and A'll give Chris Bassett,

1234
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: Eric Vetti and Tario Estrada nice finish their nice last pick.

1235
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: So the winner of the draft was Team two, but

1236
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: the best of the three of us was me, Joey

1237
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: p coming in at third and eighty seven a B

1238
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: plus not so bad. Kelly Kirby the Wonky Penguin liked

1239
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: my draft. I've been working so hard for Kelly and

1240
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: her to respect me for years now, so the fact

1241
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: that this happened makes me really excited. In fact, I'm

1242
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: going to screenshot this as I'm talking, and I'm going

1243
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: to send it to her in our slack channel. So

1244
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 1: because I'm very excited about that that just happened. Joe

1245
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: Alrico number five, Justin Mason respectable at number six. Here's

1246
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: my favorite part is that Team nine the team that

1247
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: Justin Mason loved the most finished dead last Mason, what

1248
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: does that say about your evaluation process?

1249
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: Oh no, they fell apart after I talked trash at

1250
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 2: that spot when they took Spencer Schwellenbach in the ninth round.

1251
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 2: They just completely fell apart. Boba, Schet Christian. You know

1252
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 2: a guy in Buschett who I don't even know who

1253
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 2: what he is at this point. Kristen Yell, it's got

1254
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 2: a back issue. Tanner Scott is he the closer? I

1255
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 2: don't know if he's the closer. Kyle Finnegan, like really

1256
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 2: really shaky skills in the second half. Louis heel is injured.

1257
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 2: Like they just completely bombed the second half of that draft.

1258
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 2: I got in Team nine's head, that is.

1259
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: Where you go. You got in his kitchen. H thumbs

1260
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: up for me. Look at this group Scott Bogman, Andy Barn,

1261
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 1: Scott Pianowski and Joe Pi's appeal Like by draft. Who

1262
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: did not like my draft? Mike Maher who never likes me,

1263
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: So I mean it makes yeah, yeah, I mean, you

1264
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: know I like him, he doesn't like me. Whatever. Uh,

1265
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Mike and I love each other. This

1266
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: is what we do on the program. All right, let's

1267
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: run through your team. Justin Mason, Austin Wells, Vlad Guerrero,

1268
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: Matt McLean, Lindor Machano, Munsey, Bryce Terrang, then the outfield

1269
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: Ta Oscar, Dylan Cruz, Cowser, Springer, Solaire, the pitching staff

1270
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: Logan Webb, Bailey, Ober the aforementioned many times, Zach Gallon,

1271
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray, Spencer, Arighedti Lodolo, Max Scherzer, and then you

1272
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: had class A and Das Boy. That's a pretty good

1273
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: tandem there, believers in a head to head format, Hoskins,

1274
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: Bodet and Kumar Rocker on the bench. Mason, this feels

1275
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: like a very Mason team. What do you feel like

1276
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: at the end of it all.

1277
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm not gonna lie. I hate this team.

1278
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 2: I don't think I did for I had a strategy

1279
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 2: coming in, and this is what happens when you don't

1280
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 2: look at your rules and realize that you have to

1281
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 2: draft starting pictures. Because my plan going into the draft

1282
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 2: was I was gonna let you guys draft all starters.

1283
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 2: I was gonna punt quality starts and strikeouts, and I

1284
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 2: was just gonna load up anything else. And then about

1285
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 2: seven rounds into the draft, I started to realize, oh no,

1286
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 2: there's actual starting pictures slots I have to actually fill,

1287
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 2: and that just kind of changed the complete outlook of

1288
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 2: my team. I wouldn't have taken the two clorses as

1289
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 2: early as I did. I would I would have prioritized

1290
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 2: at least an elite starting pitcher, which I didn't do

1291
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 2: in this draft. So yeah, know your rules number one

1292
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: rule of fantasy.

1293
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: In all fairness, though you did come in late the game. Here,

1294
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: you're pinch hitting for the Welsh, which we appreciate a

1295
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: great deal.

1296
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 2: This is what monk drafts for, right like, this is

1297
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 2: what mock drafts are.

1298
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: Four And if you didn't like this team, you could

1299
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: restart the whole thing. You could do it again. You

1300
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: could back out the picks, which is beautiful, and then

1301
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: continue to make the pitchds the best.

1302
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 2: Do another hour, mon that's great.

1303
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not after this meeting. I got at

1304
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: one o'clock. I got nothing else going on, So why not.

1305
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: Let's let's do that, Joe Rico. Let's run through your

1306
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: team real quick. Here as we look at the evaluation

1307
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: process and the expert opinions Joe, Rico, Ivan Herrera, Brennan

1308
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: law Stott Swanson, Bregman, Morele India. I gotta be honest

1309
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: with you, Joe, This infield doesn't jump off the page

1310
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: to me. Outfield Kyle Tucker, Alvarez, Reynolds, Suzuki a Rosaina

1311
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: much better there. The pitching staff impeccable Crochet, Kirby Lopez,

1312
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: Pepio then Eflyn Schmidt, Lozardo, Mason Miller, Doran Than Neuke Bar,

1313
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: Jock Peterson, Festa. So pitching is tremendous, Joe. You think

1314
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: if you had to do it again, maybe you would

1315
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: have hit a little bit more offense early, considering how

1316
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: the starting pitching fell.

1317
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, with those Mason Miller and Pablo Lopez picks, I

1318
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 3: probably should have gone something like maybe tay Oscar Hernandez

1319
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 3: and something else, maybe cam an Arrow or something like.

1320
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 3: I did kind of ignore the infield a little bit

1321
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 3: too much. The offense is especially if you look at

1322
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 3: the projections here. One of the best things about doing

1323
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 3: these drafts is that updates in real time and shows

1324
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 3: you how you projected. My pitching stats are all projected

1325
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 3: for the most part in the top five and then

1326
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 3: a lot of the hitting stats tenth, eleven, seventh, So

1327
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 3: I definitely left the offense a little bit too late,

1328
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 3: especially in the infield. But I think the pitching is strong.

1329
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,439
Speaker 3: I don't have to worry about streaming pitching as much

1330
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 3: for this team. I can worry about using fab or

1331
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 3: waiver priority on some of those guys that pop in

1332
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 3: April on the offensive side. So I like the team overall.

1333
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,479
Speaker 3: I think it would be a team I'd be happy

1334
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 3: to play out the season with.

1335
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: All right, my team here, Jeffer is a catcher than

1336
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Josh nail Or Katl, Marte Correa, and how I know,

1337
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Matt Chapman, Rangifo, Zach Geloff, Van Juan Soto, James Wood,

1338
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Brent Rooker, Lawrence Butler, Mike Trout. This is if you're

1339
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: not first, your last team right here and get there

1340
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: right now. I mean Correa and Trout. What a kind

1341
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: of death wish do I have with this squad? But

1342
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: it still has Won Soto and James Wood on it.

1343
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: So I feel like I got some pieces here and

1344
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Marte as well. The pitching staff Chris sal Stan McClanahan,

1345
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: Brian Wu, Sandy Alcntra Seth Lugo, Eovaldi, Brandon Woodriff again

1346
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: took some shots there, Fairbanks, Bouton Francis. I also got

1347
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 1: relievers in Clay Holmes and Hendrix. So my strategy here

1348
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: is just load up on starts with guys that qualify

1349
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: at RP, which is a fun way to dupe the system.

1350
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 1: I can punt saves, wait for saves. But again, if

1351
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: I've got that second arpeace spot, that's mandatory. I don't

1352
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: have to have a reliever. It can be a starter

1353
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: who's also a reliever, and I can get my quality starts,

1354
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: more strikeouts, more innings there for those guys too, So

1355
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: different approaches here for all three of us. What's your favorite?

Speaker 1: for the Welsh. I know the Welsh appreciates it too.

1365
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: You're right, we should do this again. So we're gonna

1366
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 1: be hitting you up. And who knows, maybe this is
