1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, Welcome into part two of the cycle. For

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: this week, I am Ryan Warmley, joined as always by

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Mike Mayer. We are talking some buys, some cells, and

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: of course Waiver Central. We already did Round in the Bases,

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: so you can catch that on YouTube or wherever you

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: listen to your podcast if you haven't seen it already,

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: and of course coming up later in the weekend, we've

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: got our streaming pictures episode as well. Mayor let's start

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: with you on your buy low.

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: So my by low is and I wrote him up

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: on this week's article on fantasy pros is Cam Smith,

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: and I think this is it's kind of a by low.

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: It's also kind of a pickup before someone else picks

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: them up situation, because he was a really hyped prospect

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: coming into the seas and got up to a really

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: slow start and he's quietly like been pretty good lately.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: He if I pull up the splits here, he batted

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: over three hundred in May after a really rough start

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: to the season. So he batted in April two thirteen

20
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: with three home runs, so we had a little bit

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: of power, but patted two thirteen in May. He pretty

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: quietly bad at three h seven, And I only know

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: that because I roster him in a couple of leagues

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 2: and I've just resisted the urge to drop him because

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: I still believe in the talent. And I think this

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: is one of those situations where, you know, we've seen,

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: We've talked about it a bunch, where a young hitter

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: comes up, he struggles. It's just we've you know, we're

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: in this situation where the pitching at the major league

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: level is so much better than the pitching we're seeing

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: at the minor leagues that almost all of these hitters

32
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: needed adjustment period. A lot of them get sent down.

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: We just saw Christian Campbell Red Sox get sent down

34
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: today and Cramsmith didn't get sent down. He got he

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: kind of got sat down on the bench a few

36
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: times where they just like gave him a breather, And

37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: I almost feel like this might be cam Smith two

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: point zero, even though he didn't get sent down like

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: a lot of these other guys like Jackson Holliday, it's

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: almost like he just kind of hung around and he's

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: just kind of working through it. And even in the

42
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: first two weeks of June, he's patting three twenty one

43
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: with two home runs heat He hit both those homewns

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: in a game the other day. But he's still not

45
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: very rostered and so you hopefully wouldn't even have to

46
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: trade something to get him. But we're probably a few

47
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: games to a week away more of this from him

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: being rostered in a ton more places, so you can

49
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: kind of it's it's not necessarily like a Bilow window

50
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: is closing, but it's like he's if this is like

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: the breakout, he's not gonna be available soon or for long.

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: Where do you have him rest of the season.

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 2: I was just moving him around before I've moved I've

54
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: moved him like a lot of players, I uh, I

55
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: like resist moving them too much, or like I'm just

56
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: kind of like slide them down throughout the season. I've

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: like moved him like up and down a bunch of

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: times this season. So he's also outfield and third base eligible.

59
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: So for third base, I have him at eighteen and

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: it's probably I moved him down recently. I'm going to

61
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: bump him up to like sixteen. Right now, I still

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: have vant it's pretty hig I'm going to drop the

63
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: in down. Who would you, I mean, what are your

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: thoughts on Campsmith before I ask you some of these rankings, I.

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: Don't really have him anywhere.

66
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: A few places I did. He is somebody I moved

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: on from earlier in the year.

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: I think.

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: I think the point that I would just like emphasize,

70
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: and it almost feels weird because I feel like we

71
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: say it all the time, is just a reminder of

72
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: like you can pretty much throw out the first month

73
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: ish of any prospect, even the best of the best prospects.

74
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: The transition to major league pitching has never been harder

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: than it is right now. It feels like and I've

76
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: lost track of the number of names we've talked about

77
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: in this context of like it's a slow start adjusting

78
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: to the big leagues or a guy coming up for

79
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: his second stint in the big leagues and him doing

80
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: so much better. I mean, again, we could we could

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: probably list twenty five names if we if we wanted to,

82
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: of guys who that's been the case for in the

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: last couple of years.

84
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: So, whether it's a guy in.

85
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: A second stint or a guy that's kind of seemingly

86
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: taking a big step after that early struggle, that tends

87
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: to be the type of player I'm very interested in

88
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: buying in on the way.

89
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 3: We've seen this pattern go so many times recently.

90
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for him, he's still young. He's twenty two

91
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: years old. He never even played in the in triple A.

92
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: He just kind of flew through the minor leagues, you know,

93
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, and yeah, I mean he didn't

94
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: play in triple A. He barely played in single and

95
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: double A. So he he was drafted in twenty twenty

96
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: four in the first round, and then in twenty twenty

97
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: four played fifteen games at low A, twelve games at

98
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: high A, five games in Double A. That's the only

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: time he spent in the minors. He made the team

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 2: at a spring training in twenty twenty five. His kid's

101
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: never been in the minor leagues basically, and so he's

102
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: learning on the job. It's kind of incredible that he's

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: doing as well as he is based on that and

104
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: what we know about Ajulie pitching.

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you give an answer on the rankings.

106
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: I had him around so third base. I had him

107
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: around like eighteen. I'm going to bump him up a

108
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: little bit now that because I had dropped him down

109
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: when he was cold. I moved the ants down. Would

110
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: you rather have Estoc, Paratees or Campsmith.

111
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: I'd rather have Parides.

112
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, he's betting two fifty two of fifteen home runs.

113
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: I feel like the ceiling's higher for Campsmith. But like

114
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: the thing with the thing with like these rankings, and

115
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: you're trying to like project like not like the safest value,

116
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: but like the most likely value. And as much as

117
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: I want to rank for upside, like, there is as

118
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: much chance that cam Smith breaks out and is a

119
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: top ten, top six third baseman the rest of the

120
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: year as there is that you just drop him in

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: a week or two and it's just it's just over

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: for this year. I like to think that this is

123
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 2: the breakout coming and I want to rank him more aggressively,

124
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: but it would be hard, like especially if it's like

125
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: did you have to drop Bradies to pick up Campsmith?

126
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: I don't think I could pull the trigger on something

127
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: like that is kind of how I like, you know,

128
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: like when you're making the final call on rankings, that's

129
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: kind of like the tie breaker are you sometimes like

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: would I drop this player for this player if I

131
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: had to? And if the answer is not, that's kind

132
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: of where where the breaking point is for my rankings.

133
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's fair. I'll go to my bilow.

134
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: This is Colton Kowser, and he did hit a home

135
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: run yesterday. It was so you know, if you're looking

136
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: just a day ago, not a bylow. But in general,

137
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: he has not had a very good season. He's batting

138
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: one to ninety. His ops is at seven twenty. It's

139
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: worth noting that he his season barely started before he

140
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, messed up his his was it his thumb?

141
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: I think it was diving into first, which I hated

142
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: watching in the moment, and obviously hated not having him

143
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: playing outfield for the Orioles for several weeks. And he's

144
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: still kind of working his way back in kind of

145
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: shaking off that rust that early season kind of look,

146
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: you see a lot of hitters have, but he's hit

147
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: a couple of home runs. He's in home runs back

148
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: to back days. First of all, he's had three since

149
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: June seventh. His batting average has risen over twenty points since,

150
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, in the last two weeks. And I think

151
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: even if you the problem with cold Cows is the strikeouts,

152
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: right Like, if you're in the league, that penalizes the strikeouts.

153
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: It's going to hurt you.

154
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: And I do think that'll get better, you know, as

155
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: we get further in the season and he shakes off

156
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: more of that rust. But it's not like he's been

157
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: a low strikeout guy in the past. Like right now,

158
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: it's thirty six point five percent strike out rate. I

159
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: think it'll get closer to thirty, but it's not going

160
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: to get too much lower than thirty in the best

161
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: case scenario. But this is a player with a lot

162
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: of power and he can really impact the ball. His

163
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: barrel rate is the highest of his career at seventeen

164
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: point one percent. He's not walking a lot. I think

165
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: that will go up as the strikeouts go down.

166
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: Again.

167
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of that you know effectsimily of

168
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: an early season player shaking off the rust and the

169
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: expected badding is low. He's not got you have on

170
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: your team for batting average. Again, I think that'll go

171
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: up as he gets further and further, like more back

172
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: into the playing every day.

173
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: But he's hitting the ball hard.

174
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: His average active last season ninety two and a half

175
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: miles per hour. Again, the barrel rate's really high. The

176
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: Orioles need him to be good and I think he

177
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: will be. I almost was gonna say Jordan Westberg for

178
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: similar reason coming back off injury as a bye high,

179
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: but he's just been too good that I think you're

180
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to overpay to get him. But Kowser's

181
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: struggled relatively speaking. I think the power will come. I

182
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: think he'll he'll be at like a twenty five home

183
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: run pace the rest of the season. If he's not

184
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: gonna hit that number because of the miss time, I

185
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: think the average will get up too, well above two hundred.

186
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Not that that's you know, anything to brag about too, Yeah, exactly,

187
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: And but yeah, I think he'll be a power hitting

188
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: outfielder for you the rest of the way. And he's

189
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: pretty pretty attainable. I can't imagine anybody would would ask

190
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: for too much to create him away right now if

191
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: you offer them really anything of substance. So I like

192
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: Colton Kowser, even with the horrid strikeout to walk ratio.

193
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like the kind of chance, like you

194
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: can't take this chance in a points league because the

195
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: strikeouts are just going to kill you. It would have

196
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: to be like in a roto categories or head to

197
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: head categories kind of league. Yeah, it's an upside play.

198
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: I also would probably prefer if you could pull him,

199
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: like if you could pick him up and sit him

200
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: and like make sure this continues and just so it

201
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: doesn't kill you for a week. That's also an ideal

202
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: such a scenario. If you have to pick him up

203
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: start him right away, it's kind of hard to stomach,

204
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: even though he is heating up right now. Jordan Westbrook.

205
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: I think it's the type of guy, the type of

206
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: guy in a trade that, like you get cows are

207
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: thrown in for the upside.

208
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: Jordan Westburg is a player. I have to move back

209
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: up in my rankings now that you mentioned him, because

210
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: I had him buried. He was really really bad and

211
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: then you know, went to the IL. But now he's

212
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: back and looking like himself.

213
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 3: How high look looks a lot more like for third base?

214
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: How high would you put him or the season?

215
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: I don't want to look at the rankings right now.

216
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: I have him while you do that. I have him

217
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: like right in the same area of camp Smith. I

218
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: feel like he needs to be much higher than camp.

219
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: Smith, that he should be higher than camp Smith.

220
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: That's because I agreed him before. Now I have to

221
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: bring him back up.

222
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: Right now, in consensus, he's fourteenth at third base. I

223
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: think that's too low. Like he's behind Josh Young, he

224
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: should be higher than him. He's behind Matt Chapman. I

225
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: think he should be higher than Josh twenty four. Yeah,

226
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why Young is so high. I wonder

227
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 1: if somebody just has him ranked really weirdly high and

228
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: the average Michael Garcia I is okay. It kind of

229
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: depends what you're looking for out of that player. Parade

230
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: is gonna have more power, but I think Westburg better overall.

231
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: Hano Suarez obviously hitting a ton of home runs. Now,

232
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what I think about that. In terms

233
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: of the rest of the season. Bregman is ahead of him.

234
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see what you know this injury kind

235
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: of length and coming back from it. Junior Campanaro has

236
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: obviously being really hot. But yeah, I think he belongs

237
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: Westburg in I don't I want to sit here and

238
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: tell you every single name in order, because I would

239
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: want to spend more time than shooting from the hip

240
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: on that. But on a kind of initial glance, I

241
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: think Westbrook should be inside the top ten, like maybe

242
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: at ten I'm not saying.

243
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: It's super high. I just moved him to ten.

244
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's I think I think ten is

245
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 3: the right spot.

246
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: I moved him right after Chapman.

247
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I like him obviously. I like Kowser two

248
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: is a bilo. Let's go to your favorite cell high.

249
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: My favorite cell high is t J. Friedel, and it's

250
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: a it's a player that I actually like in TJ. Friedl.

251
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: It's a player that like, I feel like this player.

252
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: I always have him, I like the wrong times, Like

253
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: when he was breaking out in twenty twenty three, I

254
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: didn't have him everywhere, and then I had him a

255
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: bunch of places last year because I was like, Wow,

256
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: if he was that good in twenty twenty three and

257
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: we didn't even get a full season, I would love

258
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: to get like twenty home runs and maybe thirty stolen

259
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: bases out of him with a decent batting Everton. Then

260
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: last year was a disaster, and then I kind of

261
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: stayed from him, say away from him a little bit

262
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: this year, especially because he was kind of paying up

263
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: into the season. I was like, nope, I've seen this

264
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: show before. Even though I like the player, I'm staying

265
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: away and now he's batting two eighty eight with Adam

266
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: runs and nine Stone bases and looking really good again. However,

267
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: when I do my research for these so highs, I

268
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: look for a lot like I try to find a

269
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: player where either there's a ton of hype right now

270
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: and I feel like the narrative has gotten ahead of it,

271
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: or I go purely numbers based and I just start

272
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: looking at like expected numbers, and if I can find

273
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: someone who's expected numbers across the board are worse than

274
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: their actual numbers, then that throws up the red flag

275
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: for me, and that player becomes a soll high. And

276
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened with t J. Friedel batting to

277
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: eighty eight. Expected batting average is two fifty, and when

278
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: you look at expected slugging aver average exon velocity, barrel percentage,

279
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: hard hit percentage, they're all tenth percentile or worse. And

280
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: he makes up for that with like some like elite

281
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: like Chase, and with numbers and like strikeout numbers in general.

282
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: But it's it's an odd profile that I think think

283
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 2: can kind of come unraveled depending on how things go.

284
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: And I think even if he stays healthy, it's gonna

285
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: lead to some regression, and so he is someone I'm

286
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: selling high for if I can flip him for a

287
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: picture that I need an eye list. We could do

288
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: the names next, but let's see what you think first.

289
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: Back to you, where.

290
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: I don't have a ton to add.

291
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: I think you he is also somebody that I have

292
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: not really ever had at the right time in the past.

293
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: I like the player, so this would really depend on

294
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: the return I'm getting. But I think the process is

295
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: very sound by you in terms of why he makes

296
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: sense to look into potentially selling him.

297
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so some of the names I tried to I

298
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: use the Fantasy Pro's trade value chart to kind of

299
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: like match this up a little bit. And as I say,

300
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: every week, you know, I try to hit it for

301
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: a picture. But how about Chris Bubich.

302
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: I would rather have Boobitch, which I think. What about

303
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: Nick Pavetta, I'd rather have Pavetta. Robbie Ray He's been

304
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: better this year than I expected.

305
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: I think I go Ray Chota.

306
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: I just don't want to. I don't like messing with

307
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: injury stuff. I think I go Freedle.

308
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: And then Elite top ten picture himself. Christopher Sanchez.

309
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: I will go.

310
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: With Christopher Sanchez. No, do you agree disagree with any

311
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: of those picks by me?

312
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: Those are all the names I put that I would

313
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: flip him for. So I am on the freedom side

314
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: of all of those, the pictures, on the picture side

315
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: of all selling. I'm selling all those.

316
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: I was about to be very surprised.

317
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I have a picture here in my favorite

318
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: cell high and it's Spencer Stryder obviously coming off of

319
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: a terrific start against the Rockies.

320
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: That is his most recent start. Right, I'm not making

321
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: that up.

322
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm pitching. He's pitching today, so it must Okay.

323
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, because that that has been a

324
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: few days, I was now nervous if I was missing one. Yeah,

325
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: he is pitching later today against the Mets, so.

326
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: We'll see how that goes.

327
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: But as of Thursday when we're recording this, he's coming

328
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: off of at his best started the season, you know,

329
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: by a mile, obviously, six innings, three hits, one walk,

330
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: thirteen strikeouts. But of course this game at home against

331
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: the Rockies, who are terrible, And my thought here is twofold.

332
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: On the one hand, there's still an inherent injury risk here, right,

333
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: just giving what he's coming back from, and the fact

334
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: that it's he's had other injuries this year even besides

335
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: the arm, and.

336
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: Also has not looked very good. Now, it's very easy

337
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 3: to paint the picture that he was.

338
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: Just shaking off the rust and is now something closer

339
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: to being back. But also it's I think it's easy

340
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: to paint the picture of it was one really good

341
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: outing and it was against you know, the worst team

342
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: in baseball, So I want to see more before I'm

343
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: starting to think of him as an ace again. And

344
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: I think it's very worth looking at looking around the

345
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: league and reaching out if somebody needs pitching, or if

346
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: there's somebody in the league who is a really big,

347
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: aggressive trader and say, hey, he just struck out thirteen

348
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: guys and six innings.

349
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 3: Strider's back.

350
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: You make the case that he's shaken off the rust

351
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: now and see if you can get somebody really good

352
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: back for him, because I think that's possible. So for me,

353
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: it's less like, oh, I need to get out of

354
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: the Strider business forever, but and more like this is

355
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: such a good start if you just look at the

356
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: stat line and not the opponent and being the big

357
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: name that Strider is as a fantasy baseball ace. I

358
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: think it's worth kind of, you know, putting out some feelers,

359
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: seeing what kind of an interest you could get for him.

360
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: I agree with the take in theory. However, he looked

361
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: to really good in that latest start. He looked like

362
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: Spencer Strider of old. And not just because it was

363
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 2: the Rockies and not just because he got twenty four

364
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 2: whiffs in that game, but his velocity was way back

365
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: up too. He touched ninety eight in that game. He

366
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: was hovering like ninety four ninety five before, And this

367
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: was the first time since he came back where it

368
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: really looks like he was comfortable being himself and he

369
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: was lighting up the radar gun again. Now, obviously that

370
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: comes with its own injury concern if he was kind

371
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: of overthrowing, and we've seen what high velocity can do

372
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: to arms. But it is hard for me to sell,

373
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: especially if I drafted him and stashed him, and like

374
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: you said, he dealt with another injury. I think he

375
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: was a hamstring injury, and then he kind of came

376
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: back and you were like, oh God, he doesn't look

377
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: like himself, Like I've waited all this time. What am

378
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: I gonna do now, and now he does look like himself.

379
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to sell now that I finally

380
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: got what I was hoping.

381
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: For, I get it, But I'm not looking to sell

382
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: to sell. I'm looking to sell for a really good

383
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: player based on the name value here we just saw.

384
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: So I think if you're getting a really good player

385
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: that offers you a bit more safety and security moving forward,

386
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: that's still worth it. Even if you're sitting here thinking, Wow,

387
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: he's finally back.

388
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 2: Do you have any thoughts of what you would want

389
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: and return off the top of your head or now?

390
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: It's really hard to answer that because I think that's

391
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: going to be really dependent on the other managers in

392
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: your league. Like yeah, I think you could throw out

393
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: names that maybe sound like they're too good to make

394
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: a trade like this, And I think you could also

395
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: throw out names that are like, oh, that's way lower,

396
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: and depending on the league, that might be the direction

397
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: it goes. What about so he's sixteenth in our rest

398
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: of season rankings.

399
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: By the way, A picture, A picture where do I

400
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: have him? He's another one I've like moved up. I

401
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: moved him way up and then like sin, whence he

402
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: came back. I was like, oh, maybe drop him back down.

403
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: I have him sixteenth.

404
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: That's that's exactly where he is in our inconsensus.

405
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 2: So that's where I have him. I might bump him

406
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: up a little bit based on that. So cell high

407
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: would you trade him for? I'm going to aim in

408
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 2: a little higher on the list here. How about Matt Olson?

409
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: You think that's in the area you could get.

410
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: I think I think so well.

411
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean again, it depends on the managers in your league,

412
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: but I bet there are leagues out there where you

413
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: could do that.

414
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: Or even better. And injured Bryce Harper, it seems like

415
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: he's working his way back, but he is currently injured.

416
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: You might be like, yeah, Bryce Harper.

417
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 3: I think he was.

418
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: I think he was throwing earlier today last I saw

419
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: or no, I'm sorry, Yeah, he throws and took dry swings.

420
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: This was an update like fifteen minutes ago, so I

421
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: just saw it.

422
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: How about Devs. What if one of the managers is

423
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 2: panicking about the Devert the Raphaeld Devs trade.

424
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: I would trade Strider for Devors.

425
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's probably hard to have base though, to give

426
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: give up a third basement like that.

427
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that's going to be an easy

428
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 3: to one, but I would do it.

429
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: Some of these other names that are right around the

430
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 2: same value, I don't know that I would do it. Oh,

431
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 2: here's one from our first segment. What about say as

432
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 2: Suzuki you boyoo?

433
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: I think I'd probably rather have Strider.

434
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: That's a fun one. There are two spots apart from

435
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: each other in rest of season rankings.

436
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: There you go.

437
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, so just you know, send out some feelers. Like

438
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: I said, see what is an option to you? Because

439
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: with the name, value might be more than you think

440
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: depending on the league you're in. All right, you train hard,

441
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: you show up, but lately something feels off. Fatigue lingers,

442
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: recovery takes longer, and your performance isn't where it used

443
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: to be. These might be signs of low testosterone, a

444

470
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: To do that read while you were gone the one time.

471
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: That was my first Kisa Trecks read.

472
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: I probably could get through that read twice in the

473
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: speed it takes you to get through at once.

474
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 3: That's my prediction.

475
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: I don't have a good comeback for that.

476
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 3: Oh well, do you think I'm right or wrong?

477
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: You went fast? I went pretty fast? You said three.

478
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

479
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's not an easy read to be fast on.

480
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 1: So all right, Waiver Central. My favorite hitter. I've got

481
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: Brady House here. This is a prospect that I really

482
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: liked when he was first drafted. We talked about him

483
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: a bit in the first segment of this week's The

484
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Cycle Show.

485
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 3: Twenty two years old. Very available.

486
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: He's seven percent roster on the I, four percent roster

487
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: on Espiano. Forgot to look up CBS. But it's going

488
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: to be higher than that. But you know, not crazy high.

489
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think. Just a player that was a really

490
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: good prospect in high school, had a slow start to

491
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: his minor league career, but had become a good prospect

492
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: again and has gotten off to like a hot start.

493
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: It's very early, right, like eleven played appearances. I think

494
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: as of the time we were putting together the sheets.

495
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm not saying that that's the hitter

496
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: he is, but batting over three fifty, you know, he's walking.

497
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: I just think he's a good player. He's gonna get.

498
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: I would assume as many of at bats as he

499
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: can handle, because the Nats aren't like competitive, so they'll

500
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: kind of let him learn to figure it out.

501
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 3: And third base is not an easy position to fill,

502
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 3: so I would pick him up.

503
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: You're probably not starting him right away, but I want

504
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: him on my roster in case he hits the ground running,

505
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, maybe better than some of these other prospects

506
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: have in recent years.

507
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: Depending on how you're doing at third base, you might

508
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: start him right away. I have. I'm starting Connor Norby

509
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: in a couple of leagues. I might start him over him.

510
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, I'd rather start Brady House than Connor Norby.

511
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 2: Also very fun name, you know, he's his two names

512
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: are one half is the best sitcom from the seventies

513
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 2: and the other half is from the best sitcom in

514
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 2: like the eighties and nineties.

515
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 3: I don't what's the best sitcom? Which is House full House?

516
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: Oh?

517
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, I was thinking I get it now.

518
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: I think you're saying, like, you know, no, I got

519
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: I got you now. I was thinking, like the full

520
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: because that's like, there's a show called House, and I

521
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: was like, well, that's not a sitcom, So what does

522
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: he talk about?

523
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 3: I see you met half of it?

524
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Brady Bunch.

525
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never thought about that. Yeah, no, no, no, I

526
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: got it now that you explained it. Sorry, that's my

527
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: fault that that was a good joke by you. That's

528
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: that's not your fault.

529
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: That's on me. Do you like Brady House as a pickup?

530
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 2: I love him as a sitcom, but I do I

531
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: have him in a couple. He's a player. Actually, you

532
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: know the other picture picture, the other player you meant

533
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: you mentioned this week, is also a player that I like.

534
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 2: But they're both players that I targeted in Dynasty, and

535
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: so I do have a bunch of shares of both

536
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: of them, and obviously I did in most of those things.

537
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: I did draft House earlier because he came out a

538
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. But I do like him. He's

539
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: he's got some swing and miss in his profile, so

540
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: that's going to be a thing you have to deal with.

541
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: But also he's kind of gotten better as he's gotten along,

542
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: and numbers in Triple A were like he's he's not

543
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: someone that they'd like just called up because they were like,

544
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: all right, let's you know, we're we stink, let's let's

545
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: call him up. He was batting three or four or

546
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 2: thirteen home runs sixty five games, like he earned it,

547
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 2: even though he struck out twenty six percent of the

548
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: time for six point five percent of the time. That's kind

549
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: of been his profile. That's kind of be you know,

550
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if his strikeout rate goes over

551
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: thirty for you know, like while for these first few

552
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: weeks while he's struggling, but uh, right now seven point

553
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: seven percent through three games. But you know, pretty small

554
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: sample size. But yeah, he's he's like a big kid

555
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 2: with a power profile. I like a Brady House like

556
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: you said, I think. I mean, we keep it's like

557
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 2: a broken record, we keep saying it over and over

558
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 2: and over again that these young hitters they come up

559
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 2: and they struggle, and so you kind of have to

560
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: expect it at this point until we see differently. But

561
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: he is a prospect that I really like, really high.

562
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 2: We pedigree there that I've liked for a few years,

563
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: so I'm happy to see him finally debut. And third

564
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: basis of then, I agree with ating him everywhere we can.

565
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of young players, by the way, just while we're

566
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: recording this, the Royals rookie Jack. I actually think I

567
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: might have been mispronouncing his last name, but they're great prospect.

568
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: It's the last name, and I have I've been getting

569
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: like Caglion because there's the second N in there, so.

570
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, no, no, no, Yeah. Anyway, he has two

571
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: home runs today. Kuy's of stunt. He's going to figure

572
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: it out really fast. All right. Your favorite hitter we

573
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: already talked about Nick Kurtz.

574
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 2: Is getting hot too. Speaking of young hitters, who did

575
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: I talk about? Oh, so we already talked about him

576
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 2: in a previous segment. I double dipped on Cam Smith.

577
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: So we don't have to spend a ton of time

578
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 2: on Cam Smith because I already just talked about him

579
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: as a.

580
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 3: By loo or any time.

581
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, my favorite hitter to pick up this week

582
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 2: is Cam Smith and it's for a lot of the

583
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: reasons we just talked about. Britty House. The third base is

584
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: really thin, Cam Smith has been quietly pretty good, and

585
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 2: like we already said, he may have already gone through

586
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: that rookie struggle that you know, that early struggle, and

587
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: we could be on the other side of it, and

588
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: so you have third base outfield eligibility. He's been hitting

589
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: over three hundred for about six weeks now, which is

590
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: a pretty long time we be batting over three hundred,

591
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: and yeah, I mentioned in Campsmith, we don't have to

592
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 2: spend ton of time there. We already talked about him

593
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: a bunch.

594
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure you'll find a way to bring them

595
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: up as like our two star pitcher competitions somehow too.

596
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: All Right, the favorite pitcher for me, it's Chase Burns,

597
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: And this is one I like to get out ahead

598
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: and I'm sure our listeners have noticed this that I

599
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: like to get out ahead of, like the top prospects

600
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: before they're actually called up. And Chase Burns very available.

601
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: He's fourteen percent roster and Yahoo four percent roster in ESPN.

602
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: Once again, I forgot to pull up CBS on this one.

603
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: Twenty two years.

604
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: Old, Drive Hadaway Forest, a really good pitcher who the

605
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: Reds have promoted pretty aggressively.

606
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: Just eight weeks ago, promoted to Double A, you.

607
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: Know, recently up to Triple A, and is just like

608
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: arguably the best pitching prospect of baseball, and I would

609
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: have I mean, the Reds have been dealing with injury

610
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: to Hunter Green obviously, you know, I think I think

611
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: their five starter is like Wade Miley or somebody. I mean,

612
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: it's like there's an opportunity here. They decided to give

613
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: him the chance. So I like Chase Burns the prospect

614
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: and pictures. I have less of a worry about coming

615
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: up and making that initial transition, so I want to

616
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: have him on my roster before there's a rush to

617
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: pick him up when he does get called up.

618
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: Would you say that Chase Burns is excellent Simpsons reference?

619
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: I knew it was a Simpsons reference, which obviously we've discussed.

620
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 3: I have not seen. Yes, I guess.

621
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: I love Chase Burns. He's one of my favorite prospects.

622
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: I drafted him in the dynasty league we're in together.

623
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: I drafted him in two other dynasty leagues this off season.

624
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: There was one where I couldn't believe he fell. To me,

625
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: I was like, what are you guys doing? Yeah, he's

626
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: he's the second overall pick last year, and he's already

627
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: flown through the minor leagues. You know, this year he's

628
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 2: knocking on the door. I was really enjoying looking at

629
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: his fan grafs page because they included some of his

630
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: college stats on there, which I haven't seen a ton

631
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: of that happening before. And in in twenty twenty four

632
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: in wake Forest, one hundred and ninety one strikeouts at

633
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: one hundred innings, which is pretty incredible, and he's kind

634
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: of done more of the same, like not quite at

635
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: that level, but you know, the high A twenty strikeouts

636
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: at eleven and two thirds innings, Double A fifty five

637
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: strikeouts and forty two innings. Now he's in Triple a's

638
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: already got fourteen strikeouts and twelve and a third innings,

639
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: all with very low eras as well. He's just like

640
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: got electric stuff. I'm a huge, huge fan of his,

641
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: and I think he is the kind of pitcher who

642
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: can come up and be successful right away, because I

643
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: think he could be that good.

644
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: He's rostered sixty two percent of leagues in CBS, so

645
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: that's that's drastically higher than usually CBS is higher. That's

646
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: a lot higher, but that's also still means thirty eight

647
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: percent of league's he is still available to pick up

648
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: and stash, so I would look to do that, you know, Honestly.

649
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: CBS is a little bit sharper of a platform and

650
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: also has a few more dynasty leagues, so that's not

651
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: it's always higher.

652
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in a keeper league that I'm looking at

653
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: right now to see if I want to because he's

654
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: available in this one, who I would want to drop

655
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: to get him?

656
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: Unfortunately I have a lot of injured players.

657
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't have a ton of wiggle room with dropping

658
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: people that could drop Walker viewer, he's bad.

659
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: By the way, I promoted this on Twitter before, but

660
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: you know, as the company man, I think I wrote

661
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 2: it on a show a couple of weeks ago to

662
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: One of my favorite features on Fantasy Pros is if

663
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: you sink your account, you can just type in a

664
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: player's name and go to his player page. You can

665
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: see all of your leagues and where he's available. So

666
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: I love do. I remember tweeting out about that when

667
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: Jack tag leone was coming up. It was like, Hey,

668
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: if you want to see where he's available, sink your

669
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: accounts and just type in his name, and then you

670
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 2: can just see like either if he's a free agent

671
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: or if he's not, who in your league has him

672
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: so you can you can trade for him.

673
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm surprised here that because you and I are in

674
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: two leagues together and he's only rostered by you and

675
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: one of them the other one you don't have him.

676
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, I was surprised by that. All right, who's

677
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: your picture here?

678
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: My picture is if I can go back to she

679
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: emits shehn? Is it? Shehn? Sheen? She han?

680
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: She Maybe? I don't know, it's probably right, But I've

681
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: really had like three or four dames on this episode

682
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: where I've been like, I'm not one hunder percent show

683
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: to pronounce it. I think it's the price of always

684
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: reading names instead of saying them exactly.

685
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: This one, i've actually heard, you're you're right, Emmitt Shean.

686
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: I think I knew that was the correct way to

687
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: say it. I just couldn't say it. Just that H

688
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: was really getting me. She haned, she yeah, sheen, which

689
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: is ironic because I also have a silent H in

690
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: my name. So you think i'd be more uh.

691
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: Sensitive if your last name was pronounced maher.

692
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: Uh, you would think, But it's not. There's no wah.

693
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: Just pretend the H isn't there. We can go a

694
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: lengthy episode on how to pronounce my name and whether

695
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: or not my family's cracked. That's another another topic for

696
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: another day.

697
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: My name gets mis pronounced all the time too. Yeah,

698
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: it looks like We'melli. People think I'm Italian.

699
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: I am not.

700
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: Maybe not a show. Maybe we just launched a whole

701
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: podcast about that.

702
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: But I how to pronounce people's namds just ours, just

703
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: our names every episode.

704
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he is a Dodgers pitcher. He just came back.

705
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: He looked really good in his first appearance. He's coming

706
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 2: back from Tommy John surgery. We always think, we've talked

707
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: about this before too. We always think that the Dodgers

708
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: have too many pictures until they don't, and then they

709
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: just need all these other pictures and Lobaul. They have

710
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: a ton of good ones waiting in the wings. And

711
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: Emma Chien is another one who looks pretty good. I

712
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: remember when he before he needed Tommy John surgery. He

713
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: looked pretty good as well. And yeah, he he just

714
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: started the other day, four innings, six strikeouts. He's probably

715
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 2: gonna take them a little bit of time to get

716
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: fully ramped up. You're probably gonna see a few of those,

717
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: like four or five innings starts, because just good Dodgers

718
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: are gonna be careful. But he's someone that I've liked

719
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: for a while. He is not like the Chase Burns pedigree,

720
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: but he's someone who you know had He's like a

721
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: six round pick, so he's not like a first round

722
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: pick kind of a guy. But he's someone that the

723
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 2: Dodgers have liked for a while, who has had success

724
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: throughout the minor leagues, and that it's pretty clear that

725
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: they like. And I think even though they have some

726
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: pictures eventually coming back, you know, if if Blake Snell

727
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: ever returns, if he ever makes that Dodgers debut. But

728
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: he's someone you can get right now, who you can

729
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: get you know, he's not rostered at a ton of

730
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: leagues and you can get a lot of value out

731
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: of him, especially pitching for a really good team like

732
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, And so you should pick him up.

733
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have a lot to have good case

734
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: him me with some deep league targets and we'll get

735
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: out of here.

736
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: So deep league targets the one I was going to

737
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: mention it was Chase Burns, and then you stole him

738
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: as your favorite pitcher. I didn't even realize that, and so.

739
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: I definitely had him in there first, so you stole

740
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: him as a deep league.

741
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm realizing now I went all pictures on deep league targets,

742
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: which is kind of fitting. I know, I'm in a

743
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: bunch of deep leagues where I need pitching all the time.

744
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: Hunter Dobbins has kind of been on a heater, which

745
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: may or may not have started because he has a

746
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: big rivalry at the Yankees and then had like ended

747
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: up having like multiple starts against them and had a

748
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: lot of success. And so the Red Sox need pitching.

749
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: He's pitching very well. It seems like he's here to

750
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: stay for now, and so if you need pitching in

751
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: a deeper league, he's available everywhere. Max Scherzer, we mentioned

752
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: on a previous previous segment he's throwing a bullpen. You

753
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 2: know that this is why this is not a regular

754
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: waiver wire pickup Max Cherser. It's twenty twenty five. He's

755
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 2: now a deep league pickup. Max Scherzer. But he also

756
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: if you're in a deeper league, he still has some

757
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: value as long as he can get that hand figured

758
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: out and he can just come back. And if in

759
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: a deeper league, if he's sixty percent of what Max

760
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: Schurzer used to be, you can still get a lot

761
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: of value out of Max Scherzer. Quinn Priester, former Red

762
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: Sox legend Quinn Priester, He's been pitching really well lately

763
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: and he gets the Rockies this week. So even if

764
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: it's just a one week streaming situation, I do like

765
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: Quinn priest here this week. And then Michael Soroka, who

766
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: has just kind of reinvented himself and is pitching really well.

767
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: He was he was this like pitch to contact sinker

768
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: ball pitcher for a while, had some devastating injuries and

769
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: missed a lot time. Then he came back as in

770
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: the bullpen and was pitching really well. And now we're

771
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: starting again and pitching very well again, and so it's

772
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: good to see his resurgence and he's available in a

773
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: lot of leagues as well.

774
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:16,240
