By 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.480 the way, we're doing these ultimate guides now to infield. 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.560 We got the outfield one coming next week and also 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.200 starting pitchers soon too, so that's gonna be a great 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:19.960 way for you to kind to catch up on everything 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.560 and get prepared for your drafts. Welsh, you are drafting 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.000 from the bottom here at one eleven, and your team 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.240 name is in homage to our producer Bill. Help us 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:30.720 out today. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.800 Hey Bill, Hey Bell, that's my team name. Our producer Bill. 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.679 Yeah, it feels the bet I just we got it. 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.679 Bill is like the voice of God for us. Like 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.560 Bill doesn't come on screen, but then we'll just like 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.959 hear him and he'll talk. But like so I feel safe, 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.000 Like as soon as I knew that we had Bill here. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.279 I feel like if something goes wrong in my life 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.200 or on the draft, I suppose as well, I'll just 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.880 go Bell. I'll get helped out here. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.120 So that's Bill's a very comforting person too. He's got 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.520 like a Stapleton kind of beard going on. It's a 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:00.280 good time building. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.720 I don't want to guarantee it, but I'm guaranteeing I'm 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.640 going to win the projections on this because I have 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:05.480 Bill in my corner. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.720 Wow, that sounds like calling your shot there pretty much. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:13.160 It's pretty impressive. And Joe is a team underground Joe 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.960 because he is drafting from the basement today. As you 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.040 can see, he is at one oh seven.

To kick 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.120 things off, your strategy is what real quick? Give me? 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.960 Like the ten second strategy for head to head roto cats. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.680 Well, for me, it really doesn't really matter what if 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.919 it's head to heat or if it's rodo. I'm waiting 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.760 on pitching a little bit if I can. I'm gonna 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.400 try and secure some of those more scarce positions early on. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.399 Usually i'd go for a pitcher in the first couple 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:23.639 of rounds, But. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.680 In my drafts this year and you'll see today, not 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.360 really something I'm trying to do. 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.400 All right, So kicking things off your show, a Altani 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.080 goes off at one, Aaron Judge to Trey Turner at two, 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.280 and now three. Excuse me. Now, I have got a 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.560 conundrum because I've got a Kunya and I've got Julio 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.120 and Jose, all my favorite guys. Oh my whee, this 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.280 is this is a tough situation here. I don't know 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.560 what to do. I thought it for I did not 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.400 think I would see Otani go already there too, So 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.400 this is fun. I think I'm gonna go ahead, and 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.000 I'm gonna stick with the outfield because it's so bad. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.320 So I'm gonna take Rondakunia sixty four percent. I got 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.160 the big you know, the strong emoji. I love the 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.040 emojis to the draft Wizard gives me again all that 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.840 good reinforcement, that positive reinforcement that I desperately need in 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.520 my life. Julio Rodriguez at one oh five. I've been 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.240 taking a lot of Julio. I'm decided to go a 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.680 little acuna this time. We'll see what goes. O Zermirez 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.800 at six, just before Underground. Joe, Joe, you're up next 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:17.320 with the pick. 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.240 I'm definitely gonna go with Kyle Tucker. I personally like 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.440 him as my number two outfielder this year. So I 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.839 am feeling like this is a pretty good bargain on him. 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:27.520 I like him at least as. 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.760 Much as Julio, and I'm gonna slightly lean his way 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.720 because it's a bit more of a track record, better 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.360 team around him. I would have taken him over Julio here. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.839 Should Julio have been on the board still, So Kyle Tucker, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.200 it's who I'm going to go with. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.920 By the way, well, yesterday I put a wager down 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.760 plus nine hundred on Julio for al MVP. If you 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.719 were with me for the Justin Jefferson wager plus fourteen hundred. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.479 If you're with me for Bryce Harper at thirty to one, 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.480 and Verlander say young twenty five to one, come join me, everybody. Julio, 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:55.159 why it right? 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.120 Why are you not giving me the info before him? 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.360 I just did. This is the I to. 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.120 Text me you get us into a test. You'd be like, hey, 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:02.520 it was in. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.839 The afternoon, you were busy. You said you were busy 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.800 in the afternoon because you had to rush out after 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.360 the show. I didn't want to bother you, so I'm 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.760 telling you now. Juan Soto goes next at one oweight. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.800 Then Mookie Bets fled, and then hey, bail Well, she's 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:14.600 up at one eleven. 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.640 Hey, ball, you know why the projections are going to 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.200 like me too. For any of you guys drafting, My 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.159 newest ranks are uploaded on Fantasy Crows as far as 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.880 the ECR goes an expert consensus rank, So that's going 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.000 to help me a little bit. I really wanted Mookie 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.800 Bets really bad. Jordan Alvarez is a really good value. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.400 He's qualifying an out in the second or so. 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:33.040 That's that. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.400 I'm hoping that Freddy Freeman does not, of course come 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:37.880 back to me, so that happened. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.680 Yeah, but but Alvarez is a nice selection. That's a 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.039 nice consolation prize. So you took Alvarez. Then at the 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.280 turn at twelve, Freeman and Tatis. That's got a sting. 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.800 I'm sure that was probably where you were going to 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.039 go with one of those two picks. So now you 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.760 got to get creative with Machado, Devers, Austin Riley and 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.200 only Austin Riley are also all on the board. Still, 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:00.000 so where do you go next? 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.240 Yeah, we're gonna go with Bobby Witt. It is tempting 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.440 with you know, like Trout is out there. The system 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.120 wants me actually, it says the experts forty three percent 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:09.960 say that's where I should go. But I'm gonna go 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.200 with position scarcity. I get to lock up all the 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.920 stolen bases head to head. I'm also still very comfortable 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.000 Bobby Wit takes maybe a little bit of a kick 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.760 in points leagues not here though, So I'm gonna start 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.039 with jorn Alvarez and Bobby Wit. There's some good upside 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.719 and floor, and we are off to a very nice start. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.239 And Mike Trout continues to fall in the draft because 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.360 after Bobby Witt goes to Welsh at two oh three, 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.360 Corbyn Burns two of four, Garrett Cole two a five, 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.719 Manna Machado, Joe two oh six. You got Trout, But shit, 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.080 Dever is Alonzo all on the board? Where are you going? 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.880 You know I was gonna go Machado and the computer 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.680 snipe me here. So my initial thought is to go 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.320 with another third baseman. But I might be a little 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.520 bit early for your Dever's and Riley's, but they're not 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.320 going to be here the next time I come up 0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:00.200 on the board. I'm pretty sure of that. You know 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.080 what I'm gonna go with, Austin Riley. I like Austin 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.800 Riley even compared to Devers, I think they're very close. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.440 But I'll take the team. I'll take the Braves over 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:08.000 the Red Sox. 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:09.800 There, I love it. All three of us have the 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.920 same look too, right, like Joe me well, shall all 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.160 have the same look. It's like, yeah, we want to 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.280 wait on pitching, we want to hit outfield in third base. Yeah, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.560 this is gonna be a blood path this draft. All right, 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.840 So bobashek goes next to two U seven. Mike Trout 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:21.760 almost made it to me. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:23.720 That's why you said. I went, oh, Joe, do you 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.480 see that? You ow Trout? 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.640 I would have pulled the trigger on the Trout accud. Yeah, 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.520 I mean you know me your first or last, That's 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.600 that's for me. Look, Raphael Devers out there, the last 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.360 kind of big money third basement on the board. I'm 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.680 a big Devers guy. Short stop. Best on the board 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.800 is Lindor, big fan of him as well. A Lonzo's 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.760 still out there too, top starting pitcher of Sandy al Contra. 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.920 As much as I adore Sandy, I will take the 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.640 third basement. And of course I'm getting good positive vibes 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.760 here as well from the draft wizard to do that 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.560 after I made my selection. Then Pete A. Lonzo went 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.600 at two ten, two eleven, Edwin Diaz two twelve, Paul 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.640 Golsch at the turn to three oh one, Sandy al 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.200 Contra Amaniol Classe with a c in al a n 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.200 s and e Uh Simeon goes to three oh three 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.200 and then three oh four. I am up next. I 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.160 am not taking Jacob de Grom Draft Wizard. You know me, 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.080 there's no way I'm doing this. I no no draft Wizard. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.680 I'm telling you right now, I'm not doing it. I 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.640 will take a guy that I talked about yesterday though, 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.760 who I think is grossly undervalued, underrated, gives you everything, 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.400 a lead production across the board. I'm gonna go ahead 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.480 and take Lindor here in the infield, so I'm gonna 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.680 go ahead. Got my one big outfielder, I got the 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.760 two infielders. Gives me some stolen bases. I like him. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.360 He plays one hundred and fifty games every year. At 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.560 least you know you're getting within Lidor and it's a 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.480 good line up. Real Muto goes to three oh five, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.920 way too early for a catcher in a single catcher league. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.000 In my opinion, I don't care how good real MEO 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.480 two is three oh six. Michael Harris, he was into 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.720 consideration two, and I want to see a little bit 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.760 bigger track record, Joe Rico three oh seven, thirty seven 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.200 seconds on the clock. Who are you taking? Oh man? 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.640 I want to go closer because they're going off the 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.320 board pretty quickly here. But maybe I don't need to 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.120 go with the close of just yet. I think I'm 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.520 going to go and create a little mini Houston stack here. 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.400 I'm gonna go jose L two by take care of 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.160 another weaker position in second base. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.200 Very good inside out here, just like the very emotional 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.440 film that I can't watch because when bing Bong dies 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:19.600 it makes me very upset. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.400 All right, Welsh here just cutting onions, cutting out. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.240 I can't. I can't even enjoy that movie anymore, all right, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.440 Ozzie Albi's goes right after all two? Ve at three 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.280 Oho eight, then Spencer Strider at three Oho nine. That 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.560 was another guy I was strongly considerating. But we're all 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.800 in this game of chicken at picture here, the three 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.720 of us. We'll see how it works out. Max Sure's 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.400 are three ten. So the bots don't care they're taking pictures, Welsh, 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:43.880 is this where you take a picture or you going 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:44.600 offense again? 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.440 Well, I know how you feel, and I know how 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.439 I feel, and this is one hundred percent Jacob. 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.079 I don't care what you say. This is a good 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.079 that enjoy. 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.080 All ten starts he makes. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.559 It's gonna enjoy all twenty five. But I'm gonna just 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.520 go see him tomorrow. So then it went Aeronauto and Ce. 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.200 So the other pitcher I want is there. There's a 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.959 couple other positions spots, the closers are there. This actually 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.360 is a really difficult situation because the top tier of 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.720 the second baseman went Jazz is the last guy I 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.280 would like to have him outfield. There's a couple decent 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.280 guys and closers as well, and there is a shortstop 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.240 that's calling my name. Oh, decisions, decisions I kind of 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.280 want to have with Jacob Graham. I'm taking on a 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:33.280 little bit more risk. I really like Aaron Nola, but 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.920 Shane McLanahan is Mike. I'm gonna go with McLanahan. I'm 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.520 gonna take McClanahan into Graham there to get my first 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.520 two closers kind of on like a wheel spot here. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.600 All right, There you have it. So McClanahan goes again, 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.760 Eronato and Ceas at the turn before McClanahan, then Zach Wheeler, 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.439 Aaron Nola, all the Philly starters off the board. Wrong 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.400 order too. Nola should always go before Wheeler. That's crazy. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:53.280 I agree with that. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.600 Four oh five, Luis Robert goes. I was hoping he 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:57.959 might make it back to me, but that was probably 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.960 a pipe dream. All right, Joe, you're up at the four. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:01.400 What do you got. 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.720 I'm gonna take my first starting pitcher. I think he's 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.440 severely undervalued. Carlos rodon I don't know how he's still 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.280 here at this point, but we're going with Carlos, Rodan. 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.040 Out, rodnover Verlander and Woodruff. That's a big move, Joe, 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.040 that's right, he did it. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.360 No fear, no fear there for cars sure over Verlander 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.800 for me. Woodruf is close. But give me Rodin here 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:21.160 for sure. 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.680 Yeah. Woodruff and rodonnore very close to me. I like 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.760 Rodin and Yankee Stadium too. That's gonna be a good 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.400 situation for him pitching for the Yankees. Hater goes at 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.319 four oh eight. That puts me up there for four 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.520 oh nine Mike que Right now, there's a lot of 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.680 good athletes on there. I'm going to roll the dice 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.240 one more time on the pitching market, which really I'm 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:44.120 fully aware this could haunt me for quite some time. Instead, 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.520 I'm gonna go ahead and take another outfield Randy Rosereina, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:47.960 who I don't think you'll be on the bords still. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:49.960 So I'm gonna go ahead and take some more power, 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:54.199 some more speed. That combination I'll figure out closer eventually. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.440 Oh Dalton var Show my namesake here for the team 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.439 goes right after Verlander, who was the picture I was 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.480 considering taking those of four eleven, four twelve, Colle Schwarber, 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.560 then Cedric Mallins, Matt Olson, Jazz Chisholm Ooh, I thought 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.760 I could get away with that one. I know, I'm 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.040 gonna go ahead and take a guy that I know 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.560 Welsh doesn't like, and even more so now Shane Bieber. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.200 So i've got the guy that you don't like, and 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.680 you've got the guy that I don't like. Perfect way 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.840 to start out this draft. Julio Yurius at five oh five, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.240 O'Neal Cruz at five oh six, Joe five seven. What 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:24.560 do you have? 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.440 I am going to take my first relief picture here 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:29.199 and it'll. 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:30.400 Be a bit of a homer take. I don't know 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:31.600 if you guys know who are listening. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.760 I'm from Toronto and I don't think I'm reaching too 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.040 much here, but I'm gonna go with my guy, Jordan Romano. 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.319 Great pick that, It's a great pick I would have. God, 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:40.720 dang it. The robots. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.800 I hate the robots. The robots stole Cory Seger on me. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.480 It's all I wanted. When you said you were taking 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.839 a closer. I all excited because I'm like, I might 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.600 get Corey Seeger and the robots did it again right 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.360 after Joe took Romano, and then Adulas and Alex Bregman. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.800 God, yeah, so Seeger, then the DoLS and Ragmans. So 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.679 Europe for five eleven. And Seeker is a guy we 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.800 highlighted yesterday on the show too, and that didn't feel 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.920 deep dive. We talked about him previous shows too, without 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.160 the shift. A lot of good positive feels out there. 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.880 Frank Stanfold and I were talking about that yesterday. All right, 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.760 we've stalled enough. You got twenty seconds, Welsh, what are 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:16.120 you doing? 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:16.959 All right? 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.120 I think I'm gonna I think I'm gonna tap this 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.080 closing market and I'm gonna get a couple of lockdown guys. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:26.040 I'm gonna get Devin Williams and then coming back because 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.440 Joe took Romano, I want to. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.480 Make sure I get some guys. I think I might 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:30.920 just play. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.400 This is like a typical Ish wheel type of strategy 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.079 of double tap pitch I double tap hitting, double tap pitching, 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.800 double tap closers. I gotta tell you, there's a bunch 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.280 of fun guys on the books here, but I just 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:45.760 don't know if I want to pull the trigger on 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:50.880 any of them. Oh man, all right, I think we're 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:51.320 gonna do that. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:52.480 We're gonna stick to the strategy. 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.079 We're gonna go with Ryan Presley, okay, and Devin Williams. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:57.760 So I got my two closers, and I have a 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.360 I got some plans coming back. 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:00.680 If you guys don't ruin. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.240 It closer, Schmozer, I want talent. I'm drafting guys that 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.760 I know can play every day. I'll figure out closer later, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.320 and the carousel I will jump on Starling Marte five twelve. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.040 Remember the draft is just the beginning. Okay, you got 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.960 a whole hundred and sixty two to go the draft. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.040 Go get the best talent you can. If closing market 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.760 gets away from you, you'll figure it out later. Eloyamenez 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.640 at six oh one, and Presley to hey bil Kevin 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.720 Gosman at six' oh, Three Will smith at six oh, 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.320 four and then six oh Five Alec manou WHO i, Was, 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.120 OH i wanted to take.
