7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: You can check out all his prospect write ups in

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the Black Book. But we decided to go a little

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: bit deeper on the show today. That's right, bringing a

10

Speaker 1: real professional not like well, we got Jeff Ponce from

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Baseball America joining us today. Jeff, we are so excited

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: to have you on the program talking prospects and trying

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: to find out some players are gonna be helpful to

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: us in twenty twenty five. I know you guys are

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more towards the dynasty long term prospect stuff,

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: but we appreciate you changing gears a little bit with

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: us today joining us on the program. Make sure you

18

Speaker 1: follow him at Jeff Ponce po NTSBA and Baseball America

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: has got a lot of fun stuff going on. Let's

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: talk about that, and let's talk about you getting excited

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: for spring training and baseball starting.

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely want to just thank you guys for for having

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: me on the show. I've played in leagues with with

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: Joe over the years, played in tel Wars with you

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: for a couple of years when.

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: I was still in the Heads Ahead.

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: Now I moved to an online draft so I don't

29
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: have to travel to New York drop like a g.

30
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: You know I would.

31
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: It was like the most expensive, like three days of

32
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: like my my calendar year. But because of spring training

33
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: and the way my calendar is, the weekend that they're

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: there when the Spring breakout games happened and I got

35
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: to be down and then Florida for the Spring breakout games,

36
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: are going to be with a good friend of Welsh,

37
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: a mutual friend of ours, friend Dan.

38
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: I was invited to this just like a content house.

39
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 4: By the way, it's a prospect. There's a prospect content house.

40
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: It's it's like a mansion.

41
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: It was the worst reality show, No, I'm reality show

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: you've ever seen.

43
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: Oh, it would just all be sitting there talking about

44
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: We're like, well, Travis Bozano is.

45
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: Like seventy on this point.

46
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: I a pretty sure, but it's like it's like a mansion

47
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: that doesn't belong to us. But yeah, no, you've been.

48
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: You're killing it, Jeff, and we've we've you know, you

49
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: and I go back a long time, and I know

50
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: we're not as handsome as like, it's not like you know,

51
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: Scott Broun and Krantz and stuff and everything like that.

52
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: You've been on foul terrace.

53
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: For yourself, Welsh. I'm a handsome a right.

54
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, Bron's got me covered. But if people don't know. Also,

55
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: you know, you've been doing your great work at Baseball

56
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: America but also been on foul territory, which has been

57
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: pretty great for you as well.

58
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Jeff. Yeah, right, we're gonna last.

59
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna start here with the obvious guy at the

60
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: top of the list. So spoiler alert, everybody. Roki Sazaki

61
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: from the Dodgers is gonna be the first guy we

62
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: talked about. There will be some more, let's say, legitimate

63
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: ish prospects we're gonna really break down, but we gotta

64
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: start with Rokye Sazaki because he is a Dodger, much

65
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: less a grin of pretty much everybody in baseball at

66
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: this stage, and he is a guy that certainly has

67
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: a lot of upside. Last year ten and five of

68
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: two three five ERA, over one hundred eleven innings in

69
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: the Japanese League, one hundred and twenty nine strikeouts, thirty

70
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: two walks. This is a player that the upside at

71
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: just twenty three years of age is going to be huge.

72
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: And now because he's a Dodger. That's my biggest fear too,

73
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: is the the inflation rate. And again that's a that's

74
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: a really tricky word here when you're talking about the Dodgers,

75
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: but the inflation rate of Roki now being a Dodger,

76
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was gonna push him up draft for us.

77
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: But the question is how much of a turn can

78
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: he be in your opinion as a prospect getting thrust

79
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: into that rotation. The change in terms of, you know,

80
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: what it is to pitch every fifth day for the

81
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: amount of days he's going to have to pitch as

82
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: opposed to in Japan the amount of innings you gonna

83
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: have to go. You saw Yamamoto misstarts in the beginning

84
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: of last year have a rocky beginning to the season.

85
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: So what does the Roki Sazaki twenty twenty five look

86
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: like for you?

87
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think, you know, we can look at

88
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: the Dodgers' rotation now and probably assume with Otani backthrowing,

89
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: though he's not going to throw in that first series,

90
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: they're probably going to go to like a six man rotation.

91
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: So I think he's probably going to be on somewhat.

92
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: Of like a college Japanese sort of style schedule, will

93
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: probably only pitch once a week, which obviously does have

94
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: its limitations in fantasy. You know, if you're in head

95
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: to head points leagues like I am, getting that two step,

96
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: you know is really a huge difference maker. You want

97
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: to have as many two start pitchers as you possibly

98
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: can every week in my league at least, and.

99
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: It makes a huge difference.

100
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: So I think that's one area that you can probably

101
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: immediately point to and say, all right, like, his innings

102
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: are probably going to be a little bit more limited

103
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: than the other guys that he might be priced around.

104
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: I think for redraft, I could see him potentially being overpriced.

105
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: I think when you're buying more in a dynasty setting,

106
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: you're looking at the long term investment. You're looking at, Hey,

107
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: what's this guy going to be in four or five

108
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: six years? What he is as a trade asset. It's

109
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: just sort of a different approach in terms of how

110
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: you make that valuation. Now, in terms of the guy

111
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: that's going to come over, I think it's very similar

112
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: just from like a nuts and bolts perspective to the

113
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: picture that shoe hey Otani was when he first came

114
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 3: over in twenty seventeen. What do I mean by that

115
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: hard forcing fastball probably has some spin efficiency issues in

116
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: terms of like, he's not a huge ride guy. A

117
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: lot of his six sas and his bat missing ability

118
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: with that is because he sits in the upper registers.

119
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 3: When Roki Sasaki is right. You know, last year his

120
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: velocity he had ticked down a little bit. But when

121
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: this guy is right, like he had been in twenty

122
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: two when he was set in the world on fire

123
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: and had those back to back near perfect games, he

124
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: was sitting ninety nine to one hundred and one miles

125
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: per hour on his four seen fastballs. He was really

126
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: blowing it by guys, we know that velocity at that

127
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: level really buys you, you know, a lot of leeway

128
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: in terms of where you locate, in terms of how

129
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: it moves. You know, he's not a guy who has

130
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: great feel for spin. I would call out that as

131
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: probably the biggest question mark I have is does he

132
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 3: have a major league quality breaking ball. He's spinning his

133
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: slider somewhere around two thousand RPMs, which is really, really low.

134
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: I assume that's something that the Dodgers are probably going

135
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: to put some work into. They're going to try to

136
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 3: figure out. As this was part of the homework assignment

137
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: for teams at sigin Roki figure out why his velocity

138
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 3: dropped and how he can get back there. He understands

139
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: that when he throws his breaking ball hard, when he

140
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: throws his we're seeing basketball hard.

141
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: Everything plays off of that.

142
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: He does have a world class splitter, and we've seen

143
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: how splitters are.

144
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: Playing at the major league level right now.

145
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: I would say the biggest difference between the player that

146
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: I thought Paul Skeins was when he was drafted and

147
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: the guy that we got in the major leagues was

148
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: that splinker. When he added that pitch, he added an

149
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: eighty sort of off speed breaking ball, which is so unique.

150
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: Roki has that kind of It's almost like a cut

151
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: splitter in terms of how it moves.

152
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: It can move glove side, it can move onside.

153
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: So there's some sort of like almost like the ghost

154
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: split with Senga that you sort of can't predict where

155
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: it's going to land, which really puts a lot of

156
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 3: pressure on batters. So I think, like you look at

157
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: him and you're like, he's this great off speed pitch.

158
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: He's got velocity.

159
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: He has an organization behind him that can probably get

160
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: him to sort of rip off a harder, you know,

161
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: maybe more dynamic breaking ball that's really sort of the

162
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: low hanging fruit. He is a bit more of a

163
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: project than Yamamoto was. Yamamoto was, you know, a three

164
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: time more or less cy young winner over there in

165
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: terms of what the equivalency is for that award.

166
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: What a smaller frame, right, you're talking about Roki Sazaki,

167
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: guy who six's two, you know, as oppos Yamamoto. I

168
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: think the size that was a big question about him

169
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: coming to the MLP.

170
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the thing with Yamamoto is, you know,

171
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: he does some things that are kind of unusual from

172
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: the sense that you know, he can sort of pronate

173
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: on the four seam and ride it a little bit,

174
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: but he can also really get the RPMs up on

175
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: that breaking ball and you know, we've moved away from

176
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: like just raw spin, but when you're evaluating a guy

177
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: at like a base level of what does this guy

178
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: have the capacity to become, looking at that ability to

179
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: generate spin is sort of like a natural ability that

180
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: you can then sort of develop into other pitch.

181
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: Shapes I think.

182
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: I mean it's something that I think, like two years

183
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: down the road, we may look at it and say

184
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: he's throwing an eighty seven mile per hour sweeper like

185
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: Otani ad it right, Like, there are some things that

186
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: this guy can do to sort of develop his pitch.

187
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: Mix a little bit more.

188
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: I think what Japanese development, particularly on the pitching side,

189
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: does really well is they developed guys that compete in

190
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: the zone, strike throwers, really good movers, and like fluid mechanics.

191
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: They're not as deep into the pitch sort of development

192
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: game as we are over here. And I think we've

193
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: seen this with a lot of these Japanese pitchers that

194
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: come over is that with the right sort of coaching,

195
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: they can add sort of that next gear. They can

196
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: add a sinker and sort of different pitches that they

197
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: didn't need to have in Japan sort of navigate these

198
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: tougher lineups, because you know, the top end of Japanese

199
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: players I think is pretty comparable at this point to

200
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: the top end of American players. But when you start

201
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: to look at the depth of each of those rosters,

202
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: that's what the signature difference is.

203
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: And you know, I'll throw in just real quick because

204
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: you did the big breakdown which was super important about

205
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: Roki Suzaki. But I think, in my take here is

206
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 4: the number one guy. Like this is clear that some

207
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 4: people wuld argue even in the prospect game, if you're

208
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: looking long term, he would be the number one guy.

209
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 4: A lot of it is built around proximity and the stuff.

210
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 4: But when you come back to redraft, yes he's the

211
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: number one guy. He's gonna be the number one guy

212
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: by virtue of ADPs. But my problem was is exactly

213
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: the word you said. You said project, and I still

214
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: believe there might be some project in there. He lost

215
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: a couple miles per hour from the WBC into last year.

216
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 4: The sliders you mentioned is a little bit questionable. They've

217
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: got a gajillion arms. Kershaka had still come out from

218
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: the clouds here, and the benefit of what they're going

219
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: to want and when to throw him out is in question,

220
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 4: so I've been throwing out I'm not even sure there's

221
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: a guarantee until they tell us that he is in

222
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: the rotation to start the year. I don't think it

223
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: would be out of character for them to say, we

224
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: got some stuff we want to work on to get

225
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: him right. I'm not saying that's a guarantee, but I'm

226
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: not as interested in the adp current ADPs of a

227
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: guy like Roki Sazaki with some things that I think

228
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: still need to kind of adjust. It's the best organization.

229
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: But last thing I'll throw out here is what we

230
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: are learning, which I do think is important for people,

231
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 4: is the old school two hundred innings and eighty innings

232
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 4: and stuff. That's just the markers move down, Like you

233
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: can get a SP three out of a guy that

234
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 4: has one hundred and twenty or one hundred and thirty

235
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: innings this year, and that's where Rookie is projected in

236
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty one hundred and thirty range on

237
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: a six man rotation. All of that's great, but if

238
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: his cost was outside the top forty, I'd be in.

239
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: It's not. It's inside the top thirty. So I'm a

240
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: little bit thirty six.

241
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: It's thirty six, and the names around there, Hunter Brown,

242
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: Spencer Schwellenbach, Joe Ryan, Carls Rodan, even a guy that

243
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: you know. Sometimes I'm vere iffy on I think I

244
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: would rather have Carlos Rodon just for twenty twenty five.

245
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: But if you're in keeper league's obviously a very different scenario.

246
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: But in just redraft alone, thirty six is aggressive.

247
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: December January eighty piece. By the way, on NFBC, I

248
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 4: think Szaki was going inside the top thirty I just

249
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 4: want to throw out so like.

250
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this isn't have a yemma modo. Last year too,

251
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: it went from being reasonable to super aggressive right away,

252
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: and that's when I was out. Let's talk about another

253
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: guy or traditional route, Christian Campbell, Boston Red Sox. First

254
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: little guy plays the in field, plays the out field. Jeff,

255
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: you think that there's a chance this guy could even

256
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: break with the club and that would be a huge win.

257
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: Campbell last year made the rocket ship climb a ball

258
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: or high a I should say double a tria A

259
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: combined one hundred and fifteen games, twenty homer, seventy seven RBI, stole,

260
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: twenty four bags, hit three point thirty with a nine

261
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: to ninety seven ops. I mean the numbers are all there,

262
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: so certainly the rocket ship has taken flight. Does it

263
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: land in Boston in April?

264
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: I think it does.

265
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: They came out yesterday and said that he's going to

266
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 3: compete for a job in spring. They don't have to

267
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: make a statement like that this early. I think you

268
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: look at the players that are on the roster. I

269
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: think David Hamilton is a better utility player for them.

270
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: He can get exposed if he plays too much defense

271
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: at any position, particularly in the infield over a long stretch.

272
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: You also have to sort of deal with, you know,

273
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: potentially some some you know, maintenance. I think with Trevor's story,

274
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: just hoping that he can get back to a point

275
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: that maybe he can play one hundred and forty one

276
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty games. And I think, you know, you

277
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: take a look at what Campbell did. This was a

278
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: guy that was drafted in the fourth round, was considered

279
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: kind of an afterthought in that draft.

280
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: At college, you know, really.

281
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: Was more of a Colin Simpson Victor Scott kind of

282
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: a hitter.

283
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: He was a guy that went the other way. He

284
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: put the ball in play.

285
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: He used his speed, you know, in quality defense to

286
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: sort of make an impact. He was not a home

287
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: run hitter. The team saw some things in him. They

288
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: saw the fact that he had a big six', three

289
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: really athletic.

290
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: Frame you.

291
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: KNOW i had the privilege of being around That worcester

292
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 3: clubhouse over the last couple of series of the year

293
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: and got to Know christian And, anthony you Know Roman

294
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: anthony pretty well And Kyle teel and just the work

295
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: ethic on On campbell was just kind of a different

296
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: a different. ANIMAL i, mean this is a guy that

297
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: went out and would take extra ground balls and extra

298
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: infield practice at third, base at, shortstop at second, base

299
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: would go and take balls in the outfield and then

300
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: come back in and. Hit the changes that they made

301
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: with his batpath were very, minimal but it unlocked a

302
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: ton of bat. Speed it unlocked a ton of power

303
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: that he didn't previously. Have the underlying contact quality metrics

304
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: like x wobecon he had one of the highest x

305
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: wobacons in all. Baseball that's a metric that comes from.

306
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: Teams from my, reporting it's not publicly, available but that

307
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: number puts him in the top ten in terms of contact.

308
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: Quality so it's looking at launch, angles it's looking at you,

309
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 3: know how hard the ball was, hit what field the

310
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: ball was hit, to in terms of you know what's

311
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: when this guy makes, contact how often is this, ball

312
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 3: what kind of you, know wOBA is this guy going

313
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: to have on balls and?

314
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: Play he just really.

315
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: Slugs he is excellent at keeping a really tighty, zone

316
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: doesn't swing and miss in the. Zone the underlying metrics

317
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: got better at every single. Level the production got better

318
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: at every single. Level that shows me. Aptitude AND i

319
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: think that that's sort of like the, unwritten under discussed

320
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: characteristic of prospects is these guys that are, elite they

321
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: get better at each. Stage is they're perfected with better,

322
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 3: coaching better, opportunities better. EQUIPMENT i, mean in The Worcester,

323
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: clubhouse they don't even take. It TOOK vp on field

324
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: once a week because they have a traject machine in

325
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: the bowels of The Worcester. Stadium so he's going in

326
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: there and he's Facing Garrett cole every single.

327
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: Day you, know it just puts you into a different

328
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: AND i think.

329
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: The place that The Red sox are at with hitting

330
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: development right, now they're really turning up the. Cranks guys

331
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: are coming out much better hitters than we had expected

332
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: them to. Be you put all this, together they need

333
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: right handed power in that. Lineup they need a guy

334
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: that is dynamic and can play and be versatile over the.

335
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: Field campbell really fits that for, him and it also

336
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: puts them into consideration for A ppi pick if he

337
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: does hit and he does succeed and he ends up

338
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: in the top three of The rookie of The year

339
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: voting or wins THE Al rookie of The, year, which

340
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: by the, way Once asaki signed in THE, nl the

341
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: path is a little bit.

342
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: More the path is. Easier, yeah it might be for

343
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: internally in his own.

344
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,320

00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: this specific.

351
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: Pick this Is.

352
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: Jeff jeff Had Christian campbell also A Red sox. Guy here,

353
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 4: too Has Christian campbell Over Roman Anthony from That redraft,

354
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 4: standpoint as your number one, guy you Had Christian. Campbell

355
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 4: WHEN i asked you for this list Over Rokie sazaki

356
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 4: and the THING i want to point out too With,

357
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: CAMPBELL i actually am more enamored With campbell Than anthony

358
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 4: because of the hitter that he is. Now anthony has

359
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: some you want to call it louder, tools maybe a

360
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: louder bat or a potential louder, Bat BUT i love

361
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 4: the quality of contact with a guy Like. Campbell he

362
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: had a twenty twenty season he hit over three. Hundred

363
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: two of the three levels he hit over three. Hundred

364
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 4: he hits lefties and righties both really. Well there's A

365
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: Mookie Betts neiss to him where you look at maybe

366
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 4: the size of futility the, yeah well you also look

367
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 4: at the size.

368
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: And the quick. Hands but he generates power like when

369
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: he hits as it's funny they kind of pop off the.

370
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: Bat we Watch Roman Anthony hill, running he drives the.

371
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: Ball When i'm watching the video Of, campbell it's like

372
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: he swings and he hits the ball so hard it

373
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: pops up in the air and it goes out and

374
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: it's a very different home run path that you see

375
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: out of most. Guys and it's because of the bat

376
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: speed that he generates with the hands being so. Quick

377
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: that's the.

378
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: Thing it really, stucks AND i Think campbell has the

379
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 4: potential to put up A Jackson churio type of season

380
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 4: where there can be some, slows some, goes and then

381
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: all of a sudden it really pops with that great

382
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: quality of contact at the, end where maybe he's not

383
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 4: even the most physically. Imposing, Again anthony is just like

384
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 4: big power bat that people feel, like, hey this could

385
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 4: be thirty plus. Homerunpower but don't be surprised If campbell's

386
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 4: there all, year kind of goes through the up and.

387
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 4: Downs you've talked about him coming through the. ADVERSITY i

388
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 4: really love. This i've Moved campbell up more and more and.

389
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 4: More he was probably the highest rising guy for most

390
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: people that rank prospects last, season SO i think this

391
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 4: is super. Sneaky we will talk About Roman anthony, here

392
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,240

Speaker 1: di Mingez New York yankees switch, hitter a guy that

408
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: should absolutely rake in that little tiny wiffleball field of

409
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: a stadium and certainly's going to get every opportunity now

410
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: that wan so, Doos.

411

Speaker 4: YEAH i mean get your pitchforks and torches out against me.

412
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 4: Lately jeff knows What i'm talking about With Jason. Deman, well,

413
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: No jason di ming is his. Device i'm gonna point

414
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: this out.

415
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: HERE i have what's devices the guy the guy hits

416
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: a tog give you a. Copy this is fantasy we're talking.

417
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: About stays not the best glove in the.

418
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: World but it's, okay well this is that's important to.

419
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: IT.

420
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 4: A there's a prospect. FATIGUE i think With Jason dimingez

421
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: that's b he did not perform insanely in his professional

422
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: debut last. Year there's prospect ranks that attach to, it

423
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: And jeff's on Site Baseball america Dropped Jason diminguz outside

424
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 4: the top. Twenty so there is a. Divisiveness but that's

425
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 4: actually always been kind of my point if we were

426
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: just talking purely prospects long term IS i do think

427
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 4: there's eight divisiveness in the. TOP i think there's this

428
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 4: big core of, players whether It's anthony Or campbell or

429
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 4: a guy Like dimingas or Even Dylan. CRUZ i still

430
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: really believe In Jason. Dimingez i've seen him, struggle watched

431
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 4: him an entire season in THE afl out. Here we've

432
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 4: seen some low batting average. Seasons we've also seen him bounce.

433
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: Back there's a lot of great offensive tools in his

434
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 4: short period of time in the. Majors last, year he

435
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 4: put up a double digit barrel, rate give me over

436
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 4: ten percent Barrel i'm starting to get. In hard hit

437
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: rate was forty five over forty. Five i'm starting to

438
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: really check. In those are both really good numbers that

439
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: you want to.

440
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: See.

441
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 4: Now young guys struggle launch. Angles young guys are going

442
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 4: to struggle with overall quality of, contact and that's what he's.

443
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: DEVELOPING i think the other thing to point, out he's

444
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 4: still a young. Guy he's still a. Suit he feels

445
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 4: like he's thirty two years.

446
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: OLD i know that's that is. True AND i watched

447
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: him play At, sumrset which is fifteen minutes from my

448
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: house the last two. Years i've seen him there twice

449
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: NOW wi two, years multiple, times two years, ago once last,

450
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: Year and you, know the power is, legitimate and you're.

451
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: Right you, know he's also a very different size player

452
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: where we're used to seeing the power hitters be these bigger.

453
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: Guys he's five to nine h a good. DAY i,

454
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: mean let's be, honest you, know like some of these

455
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: things were like he's five. Eleven i'm, like if he's five,

456
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: eleven Then i'm six feet. Tall like that that just ain't.

457
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: Happen so he is a smaller, guy different body. TIME

458
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: i think that also throws some people off, too maybe

459
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: in the prospect, world because he doesn't look like what

460
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: some of those guys.

461
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: LIKE i completely. Agree the projection has always been a weird.

462
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 4: Thing the Thing i'll just end with, is LIKE i

463
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 4: think prospect fatigue plays a bigger. Role there is a

464
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 4: whole ish in his. Swing he had a really high

465
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 4: ast like twenty eight percent major league strike out, rate

466
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: but in the minors off of that last season where

467
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 4: you hyper focus on the, majors the dude did three,

468
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 4: Hundred he hit, homers he stole, bases like he's going

469
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: to do those. Things he's a switch, hitter where left

470
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: handed hitters it's an incredible right handed power or it's

471
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 4: an incredible environment for left handed hitters In Yankee, stadium

472
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: he showed off some of that, power AND i think

473
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 4: we're too quick to write off development. Sometimes So i'm

474
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: very high On Jason. Dominguez, STILL i do think there'll

475
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: be some bumps and, Bruises but, projections even under one

476
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty, games you want to look at LIKE

477
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 4: atc Or steamer or, whatever they're already pushing twenty, twenty

478
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 4: close to twenty, twenty and that's not even on a full.

479
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 4: Season if you have a full season and he does

480
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 4: progress twenty one years Old Jason dominguez is a great.

481
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 4: Bet and as we go through the, Names diminguz has

482
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 4: a starting spot from day one like. Nothing campbell's phenomenal,

483
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 4: Here he's not. Guaranteed there's more guys on here that

484
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 4: are not. Guaran Jason diminguz is. Guaranteed he's going to

485
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: be out. There so from a redraft, perspective we can

486
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 4: argue about the long term blah blah. Blah that's, Fine

487
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: but from a redraft, Perspective Jason diminguz is a great.

488
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 4: Bet that's why he's. Three Jeff Baseball, america you guys

489
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 4: dropped him a decent, amount BUT i know plenty of

490
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: that does come from he is a poor. Defender that

491
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 4: is a left. Fielder now he's not a great, defender

492
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: but you Please taka just for a minute or so

493
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 4: On Jason dimingez is and what you think on that.

494
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: Offense, yeah AND i think you can look at our

495
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: fantasy ranks that came out a week before. That we

496
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: dropped the one point fifty for, prospects which Is dylan

497
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: AND i working together a lot of that is the

498
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: model we have him. FIVE i, mean it's Rookie, Roman

499
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: Anthony Christian, Campbell Kobe mayo And, Domingas and, HONESTLY i

500
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: think With mayo And domingas you could probably argue one

501
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 3: way or the. Other you, know some of that is

502
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 3: probably based on how the model spit it out To

503
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: the numbers are really good in TRIPA a For, mayo

504
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: and he has a pretty good sample size, there SO

505
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: i think that's probably part of. It we've already seen

506
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: this guy have success in the major leagues as. Well switch,

507
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: hitter you, know they're going to get him into the.

508
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 3: Lineup there is big. Power you, know he's maybe a shorter.

509
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: GUY i don't think that's such an issue because this

510
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: dude's built like a free SAT i, mean like that

511
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: was From, alabama he'd be playing for The Crimson tide

512
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: and ring and running backs. BELLS i mean that's the

513
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: kind of build that this guy. Has, like, yeah he's

514
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 3: five 't, nine but he's two ten and.

515
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 4: He's Stones drew playing a.

516
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: Tank he's built like a.

517
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: Tech no hes running, back and that's.

518
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 2: Fun running backs are.

519
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: Five but you don't see a lot of these guys

520
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: nowadays in that, Build like they don't make him.

521
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: That those athletes In america don't play baseball they end

522
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: up playing, football you, know like it's it's just sort

523
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: of the nature of.

524
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 2: It the fact that He's. Dominican it's one of the

525
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: reasons that he plays.

526
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 3: BASEBALL i think you look at his ability to get on,

527
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: base the fact that you know he can hit from

528
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: both sides of the plate and hit them from both

529
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: sides of the, plate and show, power which makes him

530
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: more of a matchup, issue which means he's not going

531
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 3: to be a guy that's going to get platooned as.

532
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: Much it also means that there's probably a little.

533
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 3: More runway just in terms of him learning some of

534
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 3: the you, know specifics of of facing major league. Pitching,

535
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: right it takes a little bit longer for switch hitters

536
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 3: to get. GOING i think the biggest thing you brought

537
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 3: up prospect. FATIGUE i think it was just unrealistic. Expectations

538
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 3: we had people ranking this guy in the top ten

539
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 3: before he had even stepped foot on a professional baseball.

540
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: Field we had people comparing To Mike trout And Mickey.

541
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 3: Mannle we've seen.

542
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: That and he's A, Yankee, jeff and that doesn't. Help

543
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: we all know the overrated us Of yankee.

544
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: Times if you look some of their guys haven't been

545
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: as hyped as you would think that they would.

546
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Not, recently but there's definitely that. Industrial, well he's A,

547
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: yankee so we're gonna have, to you, know overrate. Him

548
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: and that's part of the back with The.

549
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 3: CUBS i think that happens with The. DODGERS i think

550
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 3: that happens with The Red. SOX i think that happens

551
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 3: with The. PHILLIES i think it's just any fan base

552
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: that's plugged in and loves their team and has like

553
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 3: a well established foundational sort of. PASSION i think a

554
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: lot of, THAT a lot of that comes. Up you,

555
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: know people are talking, about what's.

556
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: Funny you mentioned The, Cubs, jeff because the next guy

557
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about is A. Cub It's Matt,

00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: And shaw another guy too who is not the biggest.

560
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Fellow he's also listed right now On Baseball reference at

561
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: five nine one. Five so, again it's nice to see

Speaker 1: some guys that are MORE i can like look eye

563
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: to eye with In Major League. Baseball i'm liking this.

564
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: Trend over one hundred and twenty one games combined last

565
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: year between double And tripa a a kid at two

566
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: eighty four with a three seventy NINE obp of four eighty,

567
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: eight slugging twenty one homers over that. Span so Certainly

568
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: shaw has shown you versatility in the. Infield he can play.

569
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: Anywhere and The cups are a team now with That

570
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,640

572
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,640

573
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: smell blood in the water in this division AND i

574
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: think they should be. Aggressive Is shaw part of those

575
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: plans in twenty twenty? Five you think?

576
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,320

Speaker 3: Kyle tucker trade that it kind of served two. Masters

578
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: they had to move a prospect in Cam smith who

579
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,959

00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 3: he's just always been a, gamer all time player in

622
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: That maryland. Program just kind of a Gritty northeast cold weather.

623

626
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: Profile he's gonna run a, liver but he's gonna git for,

627
00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: Power he's going to get on, base he's going to

628
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 3: hit for batting, average AND i think The cubs know.

629
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: That and it's a bat first. Prospect you, know really

630
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: the development needs to make us more on the defensive

631
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: side of the.

632
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: Ball but you, look they got a spot for him right.

633
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 4: Now he was a twenty thirty guy last year and

634
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: then he played in the off, season didn't go to THE,

635
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: aflay played for A TEAM usa for The premiere twelve

636
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 4: and was LIKE. Mvp he was one of the hottest

637
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 4: bats after the season end as. Well it is a

638
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 4: really good trajectory for, him big offensive counting. Stats So

639
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 4: i'm very much in On Matt shaw and again. Proximity

640
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 4: that's why he is in the top five of the.

00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 4: Prospects he need to know because he's got that from day.

00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: here at the first base for The. Mets all, right

668
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: let's talk About Dylan, cruz a guy that we saw

669
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of a glimpse of last year the

670
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: powers for Real washington really sort of remaking itself Here

671
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: Welsh cruz looks like a big part of that and

672
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: a guy that could hit for power right. Away so

673
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: what are the pluses and minuses? Here he has number

674
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: five on this list Of Dylan, cruz.

675
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 4: And he's kind of almost like A Fringy tier One

676
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 4: tier two because he's in that Same James jason De vengez.

677
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 4: Camp he got up to the. Majors he didn't quite

678
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 4: pop off, statistically but he's gonna be from day. One he's,

679
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: gonna you, know be in That rookie of The year,

680
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 4: chase WHICH i think is interesting too because you look

681
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 4: At Roki sazaki and you're, Like, okay it's. Over not

682
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 4: necessarily with these, GUYS i Think Dylan cruz could be

683
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: one of those sneaky. Ones WHAT i like about him

684
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: is that overall hitting. Profile i'm not sure that we

685
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: went from a time For Dylan cruz was like gonna

686
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 4: be the biggest Prize Bryce harper in college and then

687
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 4: everything kind of median down and again there's kind of

688
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 4: a fatigue that.

689
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: Happens he just is.

690
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 4: Consistent he does. Stuff he hits the ball on both

691
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 4: sides of the field consistently hard this year in The

692
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 4: majors when he was, up he had an almost forty

693
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 4: five percent hard hit, rate WHICH i, Like barrel's gonna come.

694
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: Up he was getting the ball in the air a

695
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 4: decent amount and maybe the most exciting under twenty percent

696
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 4: strikeout rate in The majors while. Walking why is that all? Good,

697
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 4: well clearly from a projection, standpoint you're already looking at

698
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 4: like a fifteen thirty guy in a lot of projections

699
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: for this. Season but guess, What unlike Probably, campbell Unlike Jason,

700
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 4: Diminguez cruz might be the leadoff hitter for The. Nationals

701
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 4: he might be hitting at the top of the, lineup

702
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 4: so you're gonna get some, sneaky sneaky runs while he's.

703
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 4: RUNNING i think the power is kind of underprojected for

704
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 4: a guy Like, cruise AND i think it's pretty easy

705
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 4: to see him as like a two, sixty near twenty,

706
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 4: homers near thirty stolen, bases and really good run, support

707
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 4: maybe in the eighty to ninety. RANGE i think he's

708
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 4: a sneaky rookie of the. Year BET i think he's

709
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: a great bet to get later in. Drafts right, now

710
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: he's a. Prospect LIKE i said, THAT i do think

711
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: he belongs in that upper tier because he's put in

712
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 4: a really solid advantage standpoint WHERE i think some of

713
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: his hitting questions might be not as dramatic as a

714
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: guy Like Jason, dominguez but the upside isn't quite as

715
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 4: exciting As dimingez Or Christian campbell.

716
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: And a guy. Too if he's hitting in that one

717
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: or two spot in front Of james Would seymour, fastballs

718
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: that's a good recipe for more, contact which is what

719
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: you want to see out of. Him in twenty twenty.

720
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: Five let's go to a pitcher finally again on this,

721
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: list do a lot of position players, Here Jackson job

722
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: as it should be one hundred percent without a, doubt

723
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: go position Players Jackson, job starting Pitcher Detroit, Tigers Jeff

724
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: he is number six on the. List he's the guy

725
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: that you put in. There he has a little bit

726
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: of a if you a more compact version Of Matt

727
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: caine is HOW i always see him in terms of

728
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: like his delivery and. Approach that's that's WHAT i got

729
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: from watching. Him i'm curious what are your expectations from?

730
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: Him because The Detroit tigers certainly exceeded all expectations of

731
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: being a playoff team last. Year so Is job a

732
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: guy that you see is going to be in that

733
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: rotation run away or a guy that maybe they slow

734
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: play just a little bit, longer based upon how you

735
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: want to build his.

736
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 3: Innings, YEAH i, mean you, know they kind of rocketed

737
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: him up to the major. Leagues they gave, him you,

738
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: know that first sort of hint of experience in the.

739
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: Bullpen they could do that maybe.

740
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: Early how they use their bullpen and how they sort

741
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: of deploy their pitchers is a little bit, different a

742
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: little bit more progressive than some other. Teams SO i

743
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: do think that there's maybe some opportunity that early he's

744
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: more of a multi inning. RELIEVER i think that By,

745
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: july you, know once he you, know maybe figures out

746
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: some of the pitchability. Stuff from a stuff, standpoint there's

747
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: nobody on the list that has better stuff Than Jackson.

748
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: Job there aren't many people walk in the face of

749
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: the earth that throw better stuff Than Jackson, Job AND

750
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: i think that's maybe the difference between him And. Kane

751
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: from like an aesthetic, standpoint not a bad call at.

752
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: ALL i can sort of see it.

753
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: Well their approach it's very, SIMPLE i, think you know

754
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: WHAT i. Mean Like caine was a very straightforward delivery,

755
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: guy very simple over the, front but you're right from

756
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: the stuff a little bit more, electric.

757
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah super clean gate like all that sort of.

758
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: Stuff like his leg block is very, direct the same

759
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: way That kines, is but he's generating way bigger. STUFF i,

760
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: mean like he's a guy that throws a super efficient.

761
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: Fastball he gets, ride he gets armside, Run he's sitting

762
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 3: ninety seven and ninety eight miles per hour in that.

763
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 3: Pitch but he also can you, know break off three

764
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 3: thousand rpm, yackers just absolutely crazy breaking, balls and his

765
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: change up might be his best. Pitch like this is

766
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: a deep arsenal of plus PITCHES i think potentially with

767
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: feel for, pitching.

768
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: It's it's just a matter of like.

769
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: SEQUENCING i think once he sort of figures out how

770
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: to attack different. Batters and if you look at The,

771
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: tigers they're kind of following That astros model of everybody

772
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: throws four or five. Pitches everybody has sort of like

773
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: two different. Pitches they could throw a secondaries Against righty's

774
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 3: two different pitches that they could throw a secondaries against,

775
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 3: lefties and it's sort of, like how are we going

776
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 3: to gain plan this guy in a given. DAY i

777
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: do think that this, guy by you, Know may Or,

778
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: june you're talking about you, know five six innings every

779
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: single time.

780
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: Out but they might slow play him in the first

781
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: month or.

782
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: SO i would say just stay patient and just you,

783
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 3: know rack up those kper nine innings because if he's

784
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: coming out of the, bullpen he's probably going.

785
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: To be throwing a little bit. Harder you looking to, strike.

786
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a problem if he comes out of

787
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: a bullpen like that's that's a.

788
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 3: Problem, yeah this is the guy that hit one, Hundred

789
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: SO i think when you just looking from a pure stuff,

790
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: perspective he might be tops in the, list even over

791
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 3: guys Like rochi and.

792
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Others And, JEFF i know we touched On Roman anthony,

793
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: earlier but look now we finally got to him on

794
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: the list at number seven here and this is the

795
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: guy that's GETTING i think it generating the most buzz

796
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: typically around circles this. Year it feels like and a

797
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: guy that does more look the part, right does have

798
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: that sweet left handed, Swing he's got the, power everything

799
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: is there for. Him the question is when and where

800
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: when it comes To, Anthony.

801
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 3: YEAH i mean there's still an outside chance, that you,

802
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 3: know he could just come into camp and just dominate

803
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: and somehow sort of play himself into an everyday. Role

804
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 3: it's just that is a very crowded group right now

805
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: in terms of the personnel on the active, roster And

806
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: i'm the forty man. Roster Because anthony's forty man roster

807
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: decision still a couple of years. AWAY i would imagine

808
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 3: that's not going to be an. Issue will probably be

809
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: on the forty man roster by the end of the.

810
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 3: Year but you, KNOW i do think that you can

811
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 3: take a look at the fact that A bray who

812
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: is still, here there were some rumors that he could get.

813
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 3: MOVED i think if that guy gets, moved then that

814
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 3: opens up a spot For. Anthony, so you, know if

815
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: that happens in the next couple of, months you, know

816
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 3: your drafts already happened to redraft And anthony's sitting out,

817
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 3: There i'd go and make a play for.

818
00:34:59,239 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 5: HIM i.

819
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 2: Think you.

820
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: Know the other part of is you Got, duran you Got,

821
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 3: rafaelo who they've committed some money To they still Have.

822
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 3: Yoshida there's been some talk Of yoshida potentially playing left

823
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: field this year a little, bit so they got to

824
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: figure out where a bray you and your sheet is

825
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 3: sort of.

826
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: Lie they don't have.

827
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: To force the issue With anthony in terms of HOW

828
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 3: i would bucket him, out he's very similar To james.

829
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: Would maybe a little bit less of an, athlete not

830
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 3: quite as tall As james, Would but in terms of,

831
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: hits the ball every bit is, hard the exit, Velocity

832
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: dad is right there with would probably a better contact

833
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: hitter than would not a lot of swing and missing the.

834
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 3: Zone you, know his end ZONE wif rate is like

835
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: fifteen sixteen. Percent it's kind of been like that since

836
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 3: he got into pro. Ball get walks a, lot doesn't,

837
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 3: chase and you, know talking to, HIM i think like

838
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 3: his mentality is, that you, know he's not a power,

839
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 3: Hitter he's a hitter with, power AND i think that's

840
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,439
Speaker 3: sort of the best way to look at. It big

841
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 3: thing with, him AND i think it's the same With

842
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: wood and it's actually the same With Dylan. Cruz just

843
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 3: a matter of these guys optimizing hard contact and just

844
00:35:58,560 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 3: learning how to put the ball in the air to

845
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 3: pull side more, consistently to get more home run power

846
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 3: out of. There you, know the shortest part of the

847
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: park is going to be to your pull side every single,

848
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 3: time no matter what ballpark you're playing.

849
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,479
Speaker 1: It it was very Zen. Jeff he's not a power.

850
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: Hitter he's a hitter with. POWER i, like can we

851
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: get that sat?

852
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: Him that's his. Quote that's that's.

853
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: WRONG i like. It that Is that is good. Stuff

854
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: that is good. Stuff also good. Stuff number eight on our,

855
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: List Jordan lawler shorts up for The Arizona, diamondbacks hopefully

856
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: sooner than. Later, welsh you, know it's hard not to

857
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: watch this kid and get a Little derek jeterfield when

858
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: he hits that ball the opposite, field the way he

859
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: does that inside out that he's got perhaps maybe a

860
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: more gifted, athlete you, know in terms of physical. Tools

861
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see what the work ethic is, like if

862
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: it's anything close to. It Derek, Jeter, well things are

863
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: going to be really good In. Arizona but let's talk

864
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: about him the eta that he, has in your, opinion

865
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: and What arizona did right in the off season to

866
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: hopefully create a better environment for, him because you did

867
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: Lose Christian, walker but you did gain Josh neyler in.

868
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: Return you had a resurgence in the second half of this,

869
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: team especially Cor Corbyn, carroll and now all of a,

870
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: sudden you, know The Arizona diamondbacks are set up still

871
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: in a very tough, division but is still a pretty

872
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: formidable light.

873
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 5: Up.

874
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 4: YEAH i, MEAN i would say the interesting things they

875
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 4: didn't do anything that helps us For, lawler AND i

876
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: think that could lead to a reason why he becomes

877
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 4: even more. Valuable been a good, shortstop he's fine in the.

878
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 4: INFIELD i don't think it's out of pocket that The

879
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 4: diamondbacks pull Of Jackson merrill With Jordan lawler and they

880
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 4: even test some of that outfield. WORK i don't know

881
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: if they'll come off of per. Doma i'm not saying

882
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 4: they're gonna do, this by the, way because they're they're

883
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: kind of like The Red. Sox they're blanketed too much

884
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 4: with guys in the. Outfield but they've been. Talking there's

885
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 4: been talks of. Moves if they were to end up,

886
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 4: moving it's all just left handed. Hitters if they were

887
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: to move McCarthy Or Alec, THOMAS i think there's a

888
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 4: possibility he could play some super utill role that's out.

889
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 4: There you, know you're talking The jeter. Thing what's interesting

890
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 4: is Like lawler's problem and positive is a lot of

891
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 4: young hitters struggle with getting the ball in the. Air

892
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 4: you'll see like do did it where it's, like, look

893
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 4: it's really good metrics like hard hit and, barrel but

894
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 4: a three degree launch. Angle ellie had the same thing

895
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: When Neil. CRUZ i THINK i had the same. Thing lawler,

896
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 4: wasn't but it wasn't good. Contact so he's like a

897
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 4: thirteen degree launch, angle zero barrel rate in the majors

898
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: this past. Year but he had a solid minor league,

899
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 4: season hit over three hundred in a small amount of,

900
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 4: bats dealing with. Injuries he then went and PLAYED i

901
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 4: believe it was in The Dominican Winner league and really

902
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 4: started hitting again and found that. Stroke couple. Homers he

903
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 4: was being, consistent AND i think that's the key is

904
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 4: like that bat has always been. Live he makes solid,

905
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 4: contact but it's been inconsistent as he has developed at

906
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 4: the upper. Level still another young, guy complete prospect. Fatigue

907
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 4: everyone's over, him everyone doesn't care about him. Anymore but

908
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,959
Speaker 4: the roadblock here Is Roaldo, perdomo And lavello loves him

909
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 4: and doesn't want to get him off of that. Team

910
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 4: so we'll have to watch and see if they talk

911
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 4: about maybe playing him in the outfield if they move

912
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: some other outfield. Prospects but here's the. Deal you can't

913
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 4: keep him in the miners. Anymore you got to get

914
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 4: him at the. Majors he should see a girth of

915
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 4: at bats this, season and just don't forget this is

916
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 4: a twenty twenty potential. Player it really going to pay

917
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 4: attention to the contact. Development but he is worth a

918
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 4: late round guy and he's one of these prospects that

919
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 4: you got to own because of proximity to the majors

920
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 4: this whole.

921
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: Year we had one hundred and five games in twenty

922
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: twenty three last, year just twenty. Three how much does

923
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: that enter into his eta in your opinion?

924
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 4: Too, yeah, WELL i mean it's the, injury like he's

925
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 4: got to stay. Healthy he's one of those guys he just.

926
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: Well that's WHAT i, Mean, like but you missed that development.

927
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: Time it's something that Like Byron buckson used to miss

928
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: all that development, time and you could see it used

977
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 3: them to hold Down. CHANDLER i think you look at

978
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 3: the back end of that rotation with LIKE OVI eighto

979
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: and some of these guys like this is this is

980
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 3: The pirates.

981
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: Opportunity it's to.

982
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 3: It's you, know to Have Schemes jones And chandler together

983
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: in that. Rotation they Got Thomas harrington who's a little bit,

984
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 3: different less of a stuff, guy more of an execution

985
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 3: type of pitcher that's waiting in the wings as. Well,

986
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 3: really you, know they're sort of primed for. This and you,

987
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 3: KNOW i think you look at a guy Like, chandler

988
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 3: he's not on the forty man. Roster they do have

989
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 3: guys Like burrows And ashcraft who are on the forty man.

990
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 3: Roster the back end of this forty man is not

991
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: the kind of forty man that's going to hold back

992
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 3: a pitcher like. This you look at the steps that

993
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 3: he took forward last. Year he made seven starts In TRIPLE.

994
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 3: A at the end of the. Season he could return

995
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 3: there for maybe a few weeks and then be up

996
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 3: THE ppi is a huge part, of you, know How

997
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 3: pittsburgh needs to. FUNCTION i am sure That charrington.

998
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: Is well aware of. THAT i know that folks in

999
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 2: the organization are well aware of.

1000
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: That some of the things That pittsburgh is doing behind the,

1001
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 3: scenes stuff that's not being discussed. Publicly hopefully later this

1002
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 3: Offseason i'll be able to dig into. It but some

1003
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 3: of the things THAT i know just from doing my,

1004
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 3: reporting doing my, job that they're doing on the back

1005
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 3: end is really. Advanced the hitting stuff is not caught

1006
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 3: up as, much BUT i think you look at what

1007
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 3: they're doing in the pitching, side the development, grips some

1008
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 3: of that stuff that they're working with is very, progressive very,

1009
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 3: interesting and they're getting the best out of these.

1010
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 2: Guys you, Know.

1011

Speaker 3: TODAY i do it every, year ranking out the best

1017
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 3: pitches in the top.

1018
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: One hundred bags of that.

1019
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 3: Article by the, Way, Baba chandler's got the best fastball

00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 2: Job that's over a lot of these guys eleat.

1022
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 3: Fastballs Jacob, mizerowski who literally lives off his. Fastball it's

1023
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 3: a really good change up and you know he can

1024
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 3: spin the slider, enough landed enough that you know it.

1025
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 3: Works it's probably more of like A Major league, FIFTY

1026
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 3: i would say at this, point but you're talking about

1027
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 3: a seventy fastball and you, know maybe a sixty change

1028
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 3: up guy that can dominate power through. Stuff and you,

1029
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 3: know if you look at the, progression this was a

1030
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 3: two way guy in high school and was drafted as.

1031
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 3: Such that's you, know now developed as a full time,

1032
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: pitcher big, body, athletic, physical and you, know there's not

1033
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 3: many guys that throw the pill much harder Than.

1034
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: Chandler all, right another guy throws the ball pretty. Hard

1035
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: Kumar rocker of The Texas rangers has been a long

1036
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: and winding. Road is that fair to? Say well For Kamar,

1037
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: rocker who now finds himself and, look he got his

1038
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: debut last. Year the guy's got strikeout. Ability he has

1039
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: A Lee smith quality about him where it just like

1040
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: a presence on the, mound throws. Hard everything seems like

1041
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: it's coming right at, you AND i wonder, too that being,

1042
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: said because of the long and winding, road with the

1043
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: injuries and building back innings and all this, stuff Could

1044
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: Kamar rocker be a guy that you end up maybe

1045
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: just maybe seeing in the bullpen more than the starting

1046
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: rotation this? Year but you want to keep those innings

1047
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: at the big league level because we all Know texas

1048
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: is trying to get back in this. Thing what do

1049
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: you think about his twenty twenty five and what it

1050
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: might look like?

1051
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 4: NOW a year, Ago i'd have said one hundred. Percent

1052
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 4: NOW i would say, NOW i Think Jack lider is

1053
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 4: more likely to be in the rotation that it Would Kumar.

1054
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 4: Rocker and the reason behind that is the development or

1055
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 4: the redevelopment of his slider that has made the fastball,

1056
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 4: better and it kind of in verses as. Well his biggest.

1057
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 4: PROBLEM i have a crazy history With Kumar rucker because

1058
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 4: he was my first ever interview on My prospect one

1059
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 4: show back when he was at high, school and then

1060
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: now we're. Here when he got to the, majors his fastball.

1061
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 4: Disappeared he couldn't command his, fastball he couldn't find. Velocity

1062
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 4: and then guess what that made his slider. Stink everyone

1063
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 4: was just sitting on the slider or you, know it

1064
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 4: was just like if you knew the slider was, coming

1065
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 4: just don't swing out of it if it's going out

1066
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 4: of the, zone and just wait for this. Fastball they

1067
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 4: got that. Fixed his fastball looks like it's. Back it

1068
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 4: hit ninety six last year in the. Majors he's got

1069
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 4: this sinker that he was throwing ninety. Five so a

1070
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 4: little bit of a different, offering breaking your visual. Plane

1071
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 4: and then the slider became a lead again and the

1072
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 4: slider was just a. Lead he was throwing it for.

1073
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 4: Strikes had a forty seven percent strikeout or k percentage

1074
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 4: in the majors last. Year SO i would say, this

1075
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 4: he now, back has a repertoire of a starting. Pitcher

1076
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 4: he went deep into games when he was in. College

1077
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,600

Speaker 4: Doing lock IN Al rookie of The year two thousand plus,

1082
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 4: Twenty so twenty to one For Kumar rocker For rookie

1083
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 4: of The. Year he has a decent chance to be

1084
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 4: in the rotation the whole. Season projections have him around

1085
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty. Innings he's got to beat Out

1086
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 4: Cody bradford could be the. Bullpen but that slider came.

1087
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 4: Back looks like you could be a prominent strike up.

1088
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: Pitcher.

1089
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 4: AGAIN i Think Kamar rocker is, sneaky and that's why

1090
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 4: you should be on this.

1091
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: LIST i don't see a closer on this roster right.

1092
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: NOW i See Kamar, rocker AND i See Lee, smith

1093
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: AND i see a guy's, like, hey let's just get

1094
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: the best out of. Him give me seventy, innings, kid aren't.

1095
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 4: You you're always Putting jacob de gram as a, closer

1096
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 4: so he.

1097
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: Would have stayed healthy had you maybe put him in,

1098
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: there just saying that'll be a fun. Debate he'll be

1099
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: back in the rotation this, year all. Right so those

1100
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: are your top ten, Guys but of course we like

1101
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: to give you some extra stuff around these. Parts So,

1102
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: welsh give me two guys that just missed the list

1103
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: that people should be watching out for in twenty twenty.

1104
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 4: Five So i'm going to give you bigger named. Prospects

1105
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 4: jeff definitely has some better fun prospects that aren't going

1106
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 4: to be on ANY radarss for better.

1107
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: Everybody, yeah, well.

1108
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 4: Well these are two. BITS i think you might argue

1109
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 4: that these are better, players but it's just will they

1110
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 4: be up. There Chase dolander with The rockies one of

1111
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 4: the best minor league pitchers all season last. Year everyone

1112
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 4: hates it because he's A Colorado. Rocky the team about

1113
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 4: a week, AGO i believe it, was was already talking

1114
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 4: about they are going to give him a shot to

1115
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 4: break camp with the major league roster and be in.

1116
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 4: There that would enable them to be eligible FOR, ppi

1117
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,479
Speaker 4: and that would give them a pitcher because they don't

1118
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 4: have any good. Ones, now you don't want to ruin,

1119
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 4: him but watch For Chase dolander because his stuff is,

1120
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 4: ridiculous great. Slider the other, one huge Name Travis. Bizana

1121
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 4: and the Reason i'm Throwing bazana in. Here they've got

1122
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 4: no second. Basement this team the traded andrews him in is.

1123
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 4: Away you could see that right. NOW i, MEAN i

1124
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 4: shouldn't say That wombrito is a, guy but he is

1125
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 4: currently your roster. Resource second. BASEMENT i think that leaves

1126
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 4: open the opportunity For bazana to have. That he did

1127
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 4: not have the, craziest biggest, debut BUT i think he

1128
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 4: is as close to major league. Ready it enables. Them,

1129
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 4: Again we've talked ABOUT ppi a, lot but these teams

1130
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 4: you get more bonus, pool you get an extra. Pick

1131
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 4: why not pro college BAT i Think bizana could jump.

1132
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 4: Levels you could maybe see A Jackson holiday type of.

1133
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 4: SITUATION i guess he didn't get To TRIPLE, a so

1134
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 4: it's not the, same BUT i could see him breaking

1135
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 4: camp and being the second. Baseman so, really just put

1136
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 4: a marker in both of those guys if we get

1137
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 4: bigger camp words that they could be breaking the. Team

1138
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 4: that happened With Julio. Rodriguez if you, remember no one

1139
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 4: thought he could break camp and then all of a

1140
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 4: sudden he. Did dolander And bazana are my two to

1141
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 4: keep an eye.

1142
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: On all, Right, jeff you've got To Quinn, matthews starting

1143
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: pitcher of The Saint Louis cardinals, organization And Thomas, harrington

1144
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: another pitcher in The pittsburgh. System Quinn, matthews real, quick

1145
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about both these, guys but give me

1146
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: the lowdown on these guys real. Quick and Also Quinn

1147
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: matthew's a guy That i'm very excited. About this is

1148
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: a tough lefty right. Here this is a guy would

1149
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: strike out potential and certainly an organization looking to get

1150
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: better in that rotation because last year the average age

1151
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: of that ROTATION i feel like was forty two years.

1152
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Old it was.

1153
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: Crazy, yeah and it's not.

1154
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 3: Bad and he's a little bit of you, know older

1155
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 3: of a, prospect you, know spent four years At, stanford

1156
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 3: was drafted By tampa in twenty, two went back To,

1157
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: stanford of, course had sort of a heroic performance and

1158
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 3: you know the regionals WHERE i think he threw like

1159
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty eight pitches or something like.

1160
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 2: That it's a guy with a rubber.

1161
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 3: Arm he goes deep into, games got into pro development

1162
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 3: and immediately went from sitting eighty nine to ninety one

1163
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: to ninety four to ninety five consistently with ride and good,

1164
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 3: shape all the power on his other. Secondaries he's got

1165
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 3: a really good, slider he's got an excellent change. Up

1166
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 3: just missed the best change ups on my list in

1167
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 3: the top one. Hundred probably could have put him out.

1168
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: There you, know struggled a little bit In TRIPLE. A

1169
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 3: he sort of, said, like you, know adjusting to the

1170
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 3: zone and the challenge system and just a long. Season you,

1171
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 3: know some of that ticked down really, cerebral AND i

1172
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 3: think that you look at where The cardinals are at right.

1173
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 3: Now they don't want to say it out, loud but

1174
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 3: they are in a. Rebuild they are at a, point you,

1175
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 3: know they have a very, young homegrown.

1176
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 2: Lineup it's a matter of letting those guys get.

1177
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 3: Opportunities you, know they're trying to Move Noan, aeronata which

1178
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 3: is going to open up more space for some young.

1179
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 3: PLAYERS i think Ultimately Eric fetti probably gets. Moved if

1180
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 3: they can get anything for, me they probably. Would he

1181
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 3: could Get. DFAID i, MEAN i think you have a

1182
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 3: lot of these situations where you're looking at this. Rotation

1183
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 3: you got a thirty five year Old Sonny, gray you

1184
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 3: got you, know a thirty, six thirty seven year Old

1185
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 3: miles meek list a thirty, three thirty four year Old Steven.

1186
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 3: Matts matt certainly hasn't had the best track record of

1187
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 3: health over the course of his, career dating back to

1188
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 3: when he was A mets prospect AND i think you

1189
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 3: look At matthews and though they have some other names

1190
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 3: on the forty man, roster the guys ahead of, him

1191
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 3: pitchers like Tink hence and you, know To CooA robi

1192
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 3: who neither of those guys have ever been able to

1193
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 3: finish the season. Healthy SUMMER bersi where there's major question

1194
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: marks around how effective he could be against major league.

1195
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 3: Competition michael, McGreevey who just lacks sort of substantial, upside

1196
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: but could probably be a pretty decent eatings innings eater

1197
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 3: at the back end of this. Rotation you, KNOW i

1198
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 3: just look at this team AND i think With Quinn,

1199
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 3: matthews we could be looking, at you, know an organization

1200
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 3: that's in. Flux some of these guys move, out and

1201
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 3: an opportunity at any point between Like may And july

1202
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 3: could open.

1203
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 2: Up and this guy's in the big.

1204
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,720
Speaker 3: LEAGUES i don't think he's going to break camp unless

1205
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 3: there is a catastrophic injury to one of these, pitchers

1206
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 3: and THEN i think the game is really on and

1207
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 3: there could be an opportunity at that point in.

1208
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: Time and then With, harrington is that a guy that

1209
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: Like Jared, jones would have get moved on from for

1210
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: him to see time this.

1211
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: YEAR i Think harrington is just more, like you, know

1212
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 3: how effective Is Bailey.

1213
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 2: Faulter we talked about the back end of that.

1214
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 3: ROTATION i really think the strength of The pirates is

1215
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 3: the fact that they, have you, know sort of this

1216
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 3: these five young pitchers that are all really. Good harrington

1217
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,720
Speaker 3: is a little BIT i, mean they have three stuff,

1218
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 3: monsters right like you look At Bubba Jaken, schemes you

1219
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 3: look At. Jones those guys are huge stuff throw. Hard

1220
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 3: harrington is a little bit more on the pitchability. Side

1221
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 3: harrington's a little bit more on the deception. Side he's

1222
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 3: going to. Execute his stuff is, fine but it's not.

1223
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 3: Elite but he's kind of one of those guys that

1224
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 3: can lull you to. Sleep and then you, know five innings,

1225
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 3: in you're, like this guy's giving up one, run three

1226
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 3: hits in a, walk and you know he's at seventy

1227
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 3: five pitches or something like.

1228
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: That really, efficient.

1229
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 3: Really, effective and you, KNOW i think could kind of

1230
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a sleeper later in like you,

1231
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 3: know YOUR dc. Draft he's a guy That i'm maybe

1232
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,960
