0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>What is up, friendos that welcome into Cleaning Up. That's right,

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:08.600

<v Speaker 1>com slash Cleaning Up where you can talk with Joe

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and I when Joe can talk. Joe is currently in

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>timeout and he's trying to figure it out. So I

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>am going to start this bad boy up hanging with

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you guys, hanging with a bunch of you guys, glad

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to see you. We have got a Dodgers game on

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>where Joe and I are both sweating some Bobby Miller strikeouts,

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see if Joe comes back and he can

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>sweat with Otherwise, it's everybody's opportunity to ask questions, and

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 1>you also can come on and talk if you want, so,

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>just raise your hand and I will bring you up

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully you will be able to continue coming on

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>as long as you behave behave. So let's see where

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>we had somebody who wanted to pop in earlier, but

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I think they unraised their hand. So what that means is,

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>let's get to some of the questions that I am

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>going to start answering to you guys. I traded Caleb

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Ferguson and Oswaldo Cabrera for Bednar. Is Bednar a bust

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>this year from T baby?

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I liked I liked what Roddy Tilez was doing,

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and just in support if like, listen, this is an

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>all star, he's gonna get it right. I will say this,

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I do think that this could lead to some you know,

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe like a couple weeks off opportunities for a world

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>as Chapman. But I think they're going to just go

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>right back to it, So don't be surprised if they

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>end up just going right back to Bednar. They're also

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 1>winning games, so I think they're more likely to want

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>to not screw anything up, you know, and there are

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>as in obviously they don't want to lose games. But

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're going to like move away from

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>their closer anytime soon. So I think that's a totally

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>fine pick. All right, going down here, we had a

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of like nobody could hear Joe, So let's go

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>through the questions here. Oh yeah, somebody said right here,

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be surprised if Chapman gets the next save

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>opportunity until Yeah, I think you could get like two

0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>weeks of Chapman while Bednar builds back up his confidence

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and they just go to I would not be surprised

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>at all if that's what they went, all right, color

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.239
<v Speaker 1>bear sell High on Holiday in a twelve team head

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to head categories redraft. Maybe I'm open to it.

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 2>It just depends.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I think the the determination of what sell High is

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>is the biggest key. Like where Joe was talking about it,

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be hard for like whatever. I

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>think most people's expectation of Jackson Holiday right now is

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>probably a little bit beyond what maybe it even should be.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>So if if you.

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Have somebody that is like the O'Neill Cruz, if somebody

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>is willing to offer oneal cruise, I probably would move

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>off of that in redraft. But I also still think

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I had done I did that CBS show where I

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 1>was giving some projections. I thought Jackson Holiday could be

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>like a fifteen home run guy, could be a thirty

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>plus stolen base guy and hit for good average. I

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>still kind of think that maybe the power is going

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit less. Maybe the stolen base

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 1>would be less. But if if he was a twelve

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty five with like eighty runs, I mean, that's pretty good.

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>But if you can capitalize on that and get an

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>ONNEO Cruise, yeah, then that's I'm gonna jump on that.

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 2>So can you hear me now?

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Joey p in the house?

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 2>What's up? Joey yay? Are we recording?

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>We are recording. We've already even in the show.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 2>We've started the show. That's good. I'm glad you started

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 2>the show. I'm very excited about that. Sorry, I don't know.

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>It kept saying it saw my microphone, but I guess

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>it didn't really see it. So Sy, what are you

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna do? I can only assume we're talking about Jackson Holiday.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Right, we were talking about the sell high potential, and

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I hate to like retread what we were doing on

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>leading off about it. We can go into more expansive,

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>but like again, my thing with that is sure, I'm

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>down to sell high, pending what the cost is. ONEO

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Cruz was awesome. There's probably other variations that make sense,

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>but I think someone truly has to buy high for

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>me to want to jump off of that, because I

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>just I really think he can produce like a solid

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>fantasy season. Actually, someone just an interesting name, you know

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>who I might trade Jackson Holiday for. If I was

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>down a little pitching show to iman Aga, I think

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that would be one. If somebody offers, or not that

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>that was an offer, but I would do that.

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I would agree with that sentiment. And look, everybody,

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>if you want to speak to us, just raise your hand.

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll call you up here because it's good to you know,

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.239
<v Speaker 2>sometimes when you get the questions, it's better to have context.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 2>It's nice to ask roster questions. It's nice to get

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.239
<v Speaker 2>a little bit better of a feel of what's going

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 2>on with your teams.

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>And people, by the way, left Joe as soon as

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you weren't here. They're just like, I hate the Welsh garbage,

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>can't do the show. So we had some people leave

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>who wanted to ask questions, and Joe comes back. Guess

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>what numbers are?

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Back up?

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I get where I stand, So feel free to talk

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to your favorite Joe piece of Pia. I'll just sit

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and watch. I'll just sit and watch you guys talk

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to each other, So please come on.

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.359
<v Speaker 2>No, I definitely don't want that look Tilde Baggins just

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 2>followed you on X so I mean, what more do

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>you need than that?

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>I thought I've always wanted in Tildo Baggins, All right,

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.799
<v Speaker 1>do you have anything else? We're at Jimbo Jimbo slices

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>up next. I don't know if you can see that

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>in the chat. Is there anything else you want to

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>add on the holiday stuff?

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 2>No, I think we covered a lot of it on

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 2>leading off. I want to get just enough. K's up

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.679
<v Speaker 2>here because they've got a question, So just enough, K's

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 2>welcome to cleaning up. What do you have?

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Joe Welch, how are we doing? Thanks for having me

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 3>on real quick, just a quick question because I waited

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>too long on second base? No blaze Alexander a viable

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 3>starter yet with Perdomo's injury or are we going to

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 3>have to find another option since he's going to be

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 3>coming back probably Midsummer in twelve teams.

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>By the way, categories, okay, all answer it really quick

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 1>to start.

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 2>He's not.

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's going to be a long term

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>long long term. Also, he is stinky defense. He's one

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>of the worst defense. He's proven to be one of

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the worst defenders in baseball so far, and they're already

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>going to like Jace Peterson to some so his playing

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>time I think will be like mostly the guy. I

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>think he's a good stopgap guy for a month because

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I like his offensive side, but defensively he's not great.

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>And that is one thousand percent why when Perdoma is healthy,

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he will be back.

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>He will be the.

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Guy, and he'll move it. So the answer is viably

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>long term. No, you could do it short term, so

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you might want to start, I don't know, look at

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>trade options out there, or I don't know who else

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>is available in your league, but you're just not going

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to have him for the season in my opinion, I

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 1>don't Joe, you feel any different.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean I don't have too much to add there,

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's again. Early ads are always interesting too,

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>because it just made me laugh the other day just

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>because I saw ur and Mercedes signed with some like

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 2>independent league thing, and I was like, remember that, Remember

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 2>that April. That was a fun April, Like you know,

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>these these crazy things happen in April sometimes, and I

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 2>just think, you know, sometimes you've got to be careful

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 2>with how we spend our fab It is a long season,

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>depending on how competitive your league is.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, Well, when I was, I was sighing, and

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>if anybody else was, Bobby Miller just gave up a

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>leadoff homer.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 3>And that's my other second basement Edward.

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh, well, say okay, so Edward, you're doing all right

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>if you got Edward.

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 4>So Edward, he's just he's so lackadaisical at the plays.

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.280
<v Speaker 4>He can wait too many balls for strikes. It's like

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.119
<v Speaker 4>it's almost like he's trying to get a walk instead

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 4>of a hit the most time. So it's starting to

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 4>get a little worried on him.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>It's so crazy. I cannot comprehend the I will not

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>swing at anything through the first like four pitches, and

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>then when I get to two strikes, I become Joey Gallow.

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm the most I just don't understand it. It's super frustrating.

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>But he was aggressive there, and he absolutely just launched

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Miller, so.

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>That you become Joey Vado. I think it's more like

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Joey Vodo than Joey Gallo. How many pitches that Joey

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Vodo always look at. I mean it's just I mean.

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just something I mean, it's a little bit different,

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>but he's way.

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Better hitter than Joey Gallo will ever be. But if

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 2>you got Edward, I wouldn't be worried. I think you're

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>fine there at second base. All right, let's go to

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>all savages here. And he's called himself Joey's dishwasher, which

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>is for inside baseball for some of us. What's up

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Joey's dishwasher?

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 5>Oh man, I just wanted to uh to come spend

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 5>my lunch with you. Seen Joey p would have been

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 5>a live stage. Didn't even care that it was baseball.

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Tell you that we don't even care the base of football.

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 2>People want to just talk and hang out anyway. This

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>is a baseball one though, Savage.

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 5>So I just wanted to come say hi to my friend.

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>We miss you. Well. I'll be doing the NFL Draft

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>live for two nights Thursday and Friday, so you'll get

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 2>eight hours of me in two days. That's plenty. That's

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>enough for anybody.

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 5>Let's go, man, that's awesome.

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, Savage, do you have a baseball rooting interest or

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>you a UH fan? You're Red Sox fan? Okay, so

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>how do you feel about the Red Sox roster this

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 2>year and losing Trevor's story again.

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 5>I haven't followed, honestly, man, that's been it's been been

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 5>an odd year for me. I haven't even haven't even

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 5>watched a baseball game or paid any attention yet.

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, Savage, this be the day that you turn that corner.

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 2>This is the day where things go different. You get

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 2>you got excited about baseball because you're hanging out with

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 2>me in the Welsh and I want you to go

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>watch some baseball and I'll be talking NFL with you

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 2>very soon. But it's good to see you or sort

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 2>of or hear you or talk to you. Savage. You're

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a good dude. I wish the dishwasher situation had worked

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 2>out better, but Savage did literally everything he could for

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 2>that song.

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh savages, Oh I know savages.

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Now with the dish you and a Welsh knows the

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 2>inside baseball of the Dishwashington that took a month from

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Low's to get delivered. And he was trying to help

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 2>me because it turns Oh, what are the chances I

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>call customer service and I get somebody that I know,

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and that somebody is Savage from our discord. I mean

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 2>how hilarious is that? And even he couldn't get it

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 2>to get done properly. But luckily it's all done now.

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 2>The dishes are clean, bro, The dishes are done. Man.

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 2>What movie is that? From Welsh? The dishes are done? Man?

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you know?

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>If he says man, I'm gonna think The Big Lebowski.

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 2>No, it's don't tell mom. The Babysitters Dead a classic guy.

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.319
<v Speaker 2>You should show your kids that movie. They're like, actually

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:52.959
<v Speaker 2>a really good one.

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Joe, I'm not feeling good about our

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Miller Live Sweat reaction. As I mentioned at the top,

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>he gave up a leadoff, Homer, he gave up a

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>hit and he might. I don't know if we're gonna

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>get a K here. We got Byron Buckson up here,

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>but Bobby, oh, we're gonna get a k.

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Buckson's good for a K. Here's one from thinner thoughts

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 2>on trading Shota for Max Freed had to head categories.

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So trading away Shota to get Max Freed, that's.

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe what he's alluding to. So the question is

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 2>who would you rather have rest of season?

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I personally think I want Shota and that might be overreactionary,

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and oh there's a k oja to this that might

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>be like Max Freed overreaction. He's definitely going to be

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the due that you know with the Braves, you're just

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna like walk into wins. But if we're talking about

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>like the better picture, I think Shota is the better

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.439
<v Speaker 1>picture right now. So it's it's a little too close

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>though It's not one of those where it's like I

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>think there's a deal being had, but I would rather

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>have Shota right now.

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, This one's from Miktunda. Would you take holiday

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 2>and Freed for Lindor? So, if you have Lindor, would

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 2>you take holiday in Freed.

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I kind of think you maybe could do that, especially

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 1>if you're down pitching depth.

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a dicey situation to say.

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.679
<v Speaker 1>That Jackson holiday is going to be able to fill

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the perceived Francisco Lindoor value. But I think, in a nutshell, okay,

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>here's what I might do. I might try to push

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, like maybe I could get a little

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>bit of a better pitcher or something like that. But

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I think you could do it. I'm not sure if

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm like highly suggesting you.

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Do it, you know what I mean, I understand. Uh,

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 2>here's another question here. Well, I guess we got a

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of these on leading off, we didn't really talk

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.839
<v Speaker 2>about him. Where are you at with Max Freed? See?

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Going into the season, I was very like in the

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Black Book when I wrote him up, I say, I

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 2>believe I even put him in the red flags because

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Freed was a guy that like, look, you gotta kind

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 2>of prove its me. He's healthy now, he was okay

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 2>in the spring, but so far and you know, mixed

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>bag results here. And if Atlanta loses Freed and Strider,

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 2>like I think Atlanta's toast. I know that sounds crazy,

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 2>but like they're toast. I don't think they can overcome that.

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:57.079
<v Speaker 2>I really don't.

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a huge Freed guy.

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't want to.

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad about picking on like early production to

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>be the reasons why I can tell you guys that

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like a big, big Max Freed guy. I

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>would say this, His stuff looks about the same. It's

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>just not as effective as k percentage.

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 2>His way down.

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 1>He's walking more batters right now, he's getting hit harder.

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>He's already given up a one fourteen point four Max

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>ev which is the second hardest hit ball of his career,

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>just getting banged around a lot more. But you have

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a you have more wiggle room when you're with the Braves.

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not a big Max Freed guy. So I

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>think Max Freed is in the fringy ish area. You know,

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you had said earlier on the show when we were

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about like Meryl Kelly, Meryl is one of the

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>type of those are the type of pictures I want

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to get right now. You know why, because I don't

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>think they cost a whole lot. They don't cost show

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 1>toa Imanaga. Like I think Merril Kelly is just like

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a middle line starter who's gonna get me in.

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I bet you can get Meryl Kelly plus for Max Freed.

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you could give If I could get like

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>a decent plus, sure in a Max Freed trade. But

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, like Kelly is a type of pictures

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>that I'm trying to acquire right now. It's less risk

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in the acquisition. If these guys are all getting hurt

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's just less acquisition and it's like solid return.

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.839
<v Speaker 1>So don't I don't Max Red is that type of guy.

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to go and blow the doors off of

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>buying low. If that makes sense.

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Here's a great question from Jimbo Slice, Good afternoon, gents,

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>trade Trout and Logan Allen for Julio twelve man head

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 2>to head points. Look, Julio is hitting under two hundred

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>right now. He always struggles in April. Trout is red hot.

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to be honest with you, Yeah, I mean,

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 2>forget the Logan Allen piece. He doesn't even matter. I

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 2>want Julio rest of season more than Trout. I know

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Trout's been terrific to start the year, but I mean,

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I can't shake that difference. And it's the same that

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>every year with Julio. It's the cold April every single year.

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I'd be just buying low in the Mariners. When I

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 2>was watching that last night, I was looking at Polonco

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 2>under two hundred, Julio under two hundred. Kirby stinks, Castillo

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>stink like it's just been just buy on the because

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.079
<v Speaker 2>this is not gonna last, Like April's gonna be a

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 2>distant memory. And for me, it's a hard yes for me,

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 2>And I know that's a tough one, but you know,

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and you seem to agree with me.

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm that's just the class. Like if I can't

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>look at Julio Rodriguez, it literally stutters me talking about

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>this type of thing because it's like, yeah, of course

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna buy in Julio rod Riga is now. I

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna bounce back. I also think there's something

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 1>wildly weird going on with the Mariners. Everybody is struggling off.

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a struggling pitching and struggling. It's almost too much

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 1>of an anomaly to me. But we know Trout's trade

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>hitch history. This is this is the quintessential trade of trades.

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>This encompasses everything you want to do in the trade market.

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>You have an awesome, cool Mike Trout who has a

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>storied injury history, and you can get like the number

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>two overall Fantasy Baseball player because of the hot start

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>of Trout and his struggles.

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, this is what it's all about.

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Baby. Yeah, I'm with you. So if you've got questions

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 2>dropped in the chat or just raise your hand and

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 2>will pull you up here to speak live.

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to you guys here. Everybody South

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 1>African G said, at what point does your quote worry

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>meter move to panic mode with starting pictures regarding like Kirby, Castillo,

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Musgrove has been a little roughed up. These are pictures

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>may track records, so just keep patient with the question.

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 2>May. That's my answer is May. Like it's still two

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 2>starts into the season. You know, Spring is different for

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of guys too. There's a lot of pictures

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 2>that have dead arm, you know, after spring. Some guys

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 2>have it during spring, as long as the guy is healthy.

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, some guys sometimes are tip and pitches and

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 2>they don't realize, like there's so many variables in there.

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried for sure, but panic is not until I

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 2>get into May and look that might be too far

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 2>along where you don't get to you know, sell high

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 2>on a guy or get out from underneath the guy.

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 2>But the way pictures are dropping like flies Welsh like

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I I'm I'm happy to have Castillo or Kirby on

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 2>my roster right now because I don't have Strider, I

0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 2>don't have brandber Valdez, I don't have you know, all

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>these guys like it's tough. It is really tough in

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the picture streetch right. Now, here's one from Cole's balls.

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Good afternoon, friends, Thanks for all the advice. I've leveled

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>up my game. If as we want to do a

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>level you up, can maybe we get some feelings about

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 2>newt Bar. You're the new Bar guy, what you expect

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 2>when he returns, and maybe an honest timeline. I think

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get him by the weekend.

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's I think he was a triple a rehab

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>assignment like yesterday, so I think, yeah, the weekend is

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>like foreseeable, maybe Monday, So I think by next week,

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>especially for like weekly leagues, you'll have him back. You

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 1>know what to expect. I don't know like he I'm

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>always like really optimistic simply because you know, he's a

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>dude who is always working on his craft, the drive

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>line stuff. And it went from you know, hitting the

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 1>ball harder to now optimizing how you get fly balls

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>hitting harder. So like, I think he can have power.

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he can have good stolen bases. I do

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>think some of the training he's done is press some

0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>of his batting average away. But I would like if

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>he's sitting on the wire, like I'm picking him up.

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>If he's on my il and I have a five outfield.

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting him back in. So that's how I take it.

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.359
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I want to point out you're looking

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.160
<v Speaker 1>for pictures. Chris Paddock is looking good, and he has

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.400
<v Speaker 1>looked good since spring training, and he's looking good against

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers right now, striking out, dude. So Paddock is

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 1>out there, go and pick him up right now.

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Here's another question from Finner. You guys write these pitching

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 2>replacements Tyler Anderson, show Manaia, Spencer, Turnbull Los Valdez in

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 2>multiple leagues. I would say Turnbull way ahead of the

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 2>other two, Like Manaia would be two for me, Anderson

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.920
<v Speaker 2>would be three, but it would be Turnbull far and away.

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, Turnble's just been so good it's hard

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.679
<v Speaker 1>to not Like, do I trust Turnbull rest this season?

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 2>No? No, but you gotta add him over those guys.

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I think he's the clear ad. I would do it.

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm inverse talking about it the waiver wire too. This week.

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Turnbull, Manaya Anderson is my order of like pickups.

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 2>So we have the same. But to me, Turnbull is

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 2>like the guy that like I put ten bucks on

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 2>him and like a buck on the others like that,

0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Just to get a gauge if it's a fab league

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 2>something like that. Yeah, something like that. All right, Welsh.

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.919
<v Speaker 2>In terms of Paddock again, now that's a guy in

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the past that you haven't necessarily been on two pitch, pitcher,

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff. So what is it about Paddock that

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing now that has you so excited?

0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, his fastball looks great. I actually like Paddock.

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I've always liked pet because he was I saw Paddock

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.439
<v Speaker 1>a bunch when he was Padre and then you know,

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>he had the Tommy John he was out. We've seen

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>some good advances that the Minnesota Twins' major league development

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 1>has been pretty good. He's already got five swing and

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 1>whiffs through two innings in this game against the Dodgers,

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 1>where he did give up a run, so it's something

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to monitor. But check this out. His slider is up eight.

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a four miles per hour on the season start

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>right now, it's averaging eighty seven early on here. His

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>fastball is up at fifty four. He's already got five

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 1>swinging whiffs early on. Dodgers have been a little bit

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 1>swinging whiffy, but he's getting and he's using three pitches

0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to twenty plus percent usage. So I like the slider,

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.199
<v Speaker 1>I like the change up. I think he's gonna keep

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>inducing some strikeouts and you know, if he doesn't lose command.

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I think he's kind of sneaky and finner. Asked Paddock,

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.879
<v Speaker 1>compared to all those guys, you probably like Turnbull's probably

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 1>got to just be the guy because he's been so ridiculous.

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 1>But I would go Paddock after Turnbull.

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Here's an interesting one. I'm thinking a lot of questions

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 2>in the last couple of days about Jung Hu Lee.

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 2>He is not in the lineup today against the Nats.

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe a little day off there. The slashes at two

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 2>fifty five, three fifteen, three forty not great. Would he

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:33.399
<v Speaker 2>be a bye for you because he would be a

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:33.879
<v Speaker 2>bye for me.

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, Joe, you didn't listen to my trade video because

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in my trade video, fine, I I'm actually into Jung

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Huli and I wasn't out.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I was drunk off WrestleMania for for you were too busy.

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, watching one of the greatest wrestling moments of all time,

0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 1>do you actually consider by the way the Row, the

0:19:54.840 --> 0:20:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Sina to Rock to Undertaker and then Cody winning one

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest wrestling moments like everybody talks about.

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I just dropped the In This League, In This Ring

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 2>podcast for my wrestling podcast, and I'll say this, it

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:16.120
<v Speaker 2>was overbooked. It was amazing. It was fun. I think

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 2>if you're gonna do WrestleMania forty, you want to have

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 2>something that kind of encompasses kind of the then, now

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 2>together forever kind of feeling of what they're doing where

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 2>you took the past and the present, but it all

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:29.679
<v Speaker 2>related to romans, so it was all great. It was

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 2>top three. I think it's still WrestleMania three, WrestleMania seventeen,

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 2>and WrestleMania forty in terms of like giving you the

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 2>best moments ever? Was it was that good? I don't

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.880
<v Speaker 2>know the number. Well, three is Hogan, Hogan and Andre

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a very special one. Iconic. It is iconic.

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.679
<v Speaker 2>And then of course seventeen is like the peak of

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.159
<v Speaker 2>the Attitude era, and then you know kind of the

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>transition out of that question.

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Also answer real quick, hold on Lee, Yes, by hard

0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 1>hit numbers have been through the roof. He's barreling a

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch. My take, go watch the video, but my

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 1>take is that like the way he's hitting the ball.

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>It's going to equate two numbers that I didn't think

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 1>he could have in the preseason. So I'm a buye

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>or a pickup or whatever on Jung Houley right now.

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:16.439
<v Speaker 2>So sorry, Luis Monto's by the way, has two homers

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 2>sins being sent down, just putting that out there too.

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.679
<v Speaker 2>So if their struggle to be had, that might be

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 2>a guy to you know, maybe pick back up. It's

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 2>it's possible, not saying impossible. By the way. Also, I

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:30.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you so this breaking new. So Donni

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.680
<v Speaker 2>rafaela eight year contract extension just came down.

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that was yesterday. That happened yesterday, but yeah,

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 1>he signed the big eight year.

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>And I guess he signed it today because it just

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.360
<v Speaker 2>said one hour ago since we started eating off.

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they like announced it yesterday. But what's interesting, I didn't.

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I still don't know these things, like I'm always getting

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 1>new news. So, like, first off, if if everybody doesn't know,

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:57.399
<v Speaker 1>Jackson Holliday is still eligible for the PPI, the Prospect

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Incentive Program because he was up April tenth, so that

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:05.159
<v Speaker 1>was a part of the program, and Jackson Turio was

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 1>not eligible because he signed an extension in the off

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>season before the season started. But Rafaela is eligible for

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 1>this because he signed the extension after the season started. So,

0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm talking about the extra pit compensation if they

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 1>were to win Rookie of the Year. So Raphaela is,

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Jackson Holiday is, but like Churio isn't because he signed

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a contract extension before. So just interesting stuff added to

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 1>raphael and just the whole pit compensation.

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Is there another guy right now you'd be stashing from?

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I know we talked about Jordan Beck, I know some

0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 2>guys that you know we've talked about already, the stash

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 2>guys I mentioned either plas Meyer has looked really good

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 2>for Pittsburgh. Is there anybody else stash worthy for you

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 2>right now that you say, well, there might be an

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 2>opportunity in this rotation or in this lineup sooner than later.

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's actually I'm gonna be putting in my article

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 1>together if people want to check that out. Bobby Miller

0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>does not look good right now. That's not good.

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Great now, I'll go oh in five, after two days.

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Of this one hurts because I really like this one.

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:05.880
<v Speaker 1>He's got one on. He just walked Austin Martin. It's

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:06.880
<v Speaker 1>just and their pitching coat.

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's not the like the Twins have some k's

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:10.400
<v Speaker 2>in there, like I don't know, man, very frustrating.

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well they're one of the highest strikeout teams. But

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I have to dig back in. You can go and

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 1>check out my article. I'll have it posted tomorrow and

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 1>on the Thursday edition of Leading Off, we do the

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.240
<v Speaker 1>prospect segment. But like Heston, Kerstatt is still up there.

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Paul Skeen, Paul Skeene's is still the one I'm really

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:28.879
<v Speaker 1>focused on. I kind of thought that they would have

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 1>been good if the would brought him up today, simply

0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 1>because they have. He's only had like forty pitches through

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 1>two starts. He's not going over three innings, not over forty,

0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and I wonder if that's to save the Bullets for

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the season. So Skeans is still at the top. Kurstatt

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>is the hottest hitter in the minor leagues right now,

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.119
<v Speaker 1>and they'll probably give up on doing the Austin Hayes stuff.

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Those two. And I'm still in the fringe territory of Camonaro,

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 1>like I could, I could see you not having Cameronaro.

0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:55.959
<v Speaker 1>But we're getting close to him.

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 2>Now, I'm in the I'm in the having Camonaro for sure.

0:23:58.440 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I just don't want to sit for a

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 1>month with my problem. Like somebody had me for suggesting

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 1>to cut him the other day, and it's just like, well,

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I just want to sit for a month on him.

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 2>And if it's for a month for him, if you can,

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 2>and if you're in a ten team league, it's a

0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:10.439
<v Speaker 2>little harder, but you know.

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:11.119
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 2>One more here from Dan Seido Foughts on Logan Web

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 2>getting hit a lot of the first restarts. He's been

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.720
<v Speaker 2>getting hit a lot all twenty twenty four. We talked

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 2>about this. You're getting hit all over the ballpark in

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the spring, So this one, to me is also very troubling.

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Like Logan Webb. Somebody asked me this before the show.

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 2>My buddy Chris asked me, would you trade Logan Web

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 2>for CJ. Abrams? Is that a trade that you would make?

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, just can you imagine?

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I said no, but I understood it like that's that.

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 2>That was my answer, no, because starting pitching is dropping

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 2>like flies. If you have anything, I keep it still,

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 2>but that's like right on the border where I get it.

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know if I would do that trade,

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 2>But that's my problem.

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine trading like healthy pitching, like top ish

0:24:55.680 --> 0:25:00.480
<v Speaker 1>tier pitching right now? I can't. Abrams looks insane and credible,

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:01.680
<v Speaker 1>but I just don't think I could.

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, here's a Cohler Bear wants to rate his five

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:11.680
<v Speaker 2>round prospect draft eighteen Dynasty points League, Langford, Cameronio, Jenkins, Job,

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 2>and Mayo A plus. It's pretty eighteen, so it better

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:15.920
<v Speaker 2>be a plus.

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>It better be well Jenkins though. My only problem with

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Jenkins is like in a f if you only have

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 1>five minor leaguers, I do care about proximity, and Jenkins

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:27.440
<v Speaker 1>is hurt right now by it. He's got a quad strain.

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:29.360
<v Speaker 1>He might not even play for a month, Like he's

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 1>a ways away. But every one of your guys are

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna come off of they're gonna graduate this year, so

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 1>then like you just have maybe one of the top guy.

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm down with it. It's but it's it's awesome, It's

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:42.119
<v Speaker 1>still awesome, all right.

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Cole's got one more question. I said that was the

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.400
<v Speaker 2>last question, but we got to have another question here.

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you think the A's are gonna keep Mason Miller?

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:51.080
<v Speaker 2>As the closer. Yes, I said that all offseason. It's

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 2>the only way to keep him healthy, clean innings, no

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>up and down. Take care of him. You can have him.

0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:00.480
<v Speaker 2>How many days are gonna have three? Save Portunia to

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 2>row for the A's none, So yes to me, that's

0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 2>absolutely as roll. It always was his role. That's the

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.200
<v Speaker 2>way to go. And Cole says, you guys are both

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 2>the best? Are we the best? Welsh? You agree? Right,

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Mason Miller is the closer, that's it.

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Mason Miller is the guy. Bobby Miller's not the answer,

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 1>but Mason Miller's the answer for sure.

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:19.399
<v Speaker 2>Well either way, it's Miller time. So that's gonna do

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 2>it for us. But we'll be back again next Wednesday

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.399
