1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: The ups and downs of spring. Let's talk to the pros.

2
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros.

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. It is me, Joey P.

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Joe P's Apia with me as always as the Welsh,

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: and it's you and today we're going to talk about

6
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: the same old thing we talked about all last year,

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gram's injury. Oh my goodness, are we back

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: again where we started? Let's hope not. But we're also

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: going to talk a lot more about the good things

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: in spring, the risers in our rankings from what we've

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: seen so far from spring performances, and of course wherever

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: there's risers, there's fallers as well, So we'll be going

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: through some of the guys that maybe had not so

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: good springs, maybe some injury concerns or some other issues

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: have crept up that we've dropped in our rankings. And

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: since we know this is the biggest weekend of MLB drafting,

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: there is to give you a couple of quick little

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: tips at the end to make you smarter, because that's

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: what the Welsh and I do. Welsh, as we were

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: talking before the show, we're getting closer and closer to

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: actual baseball. We're less than a week away now, and

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm getting very excited for the start of the season,

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: how about you.

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: I was until I got sick and then Jacob de

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,279
Speaker 3: Grom got hurt. So if there's two constants in the world,

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: is me going down right before all of the big

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 3: stuff happens and Jacob de gram hurting his arm again,

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: ruining my draft shares and all that stuff. But no,

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: I am excited. I have a different perspective than a

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: lot of you guys because of spring training. You know,

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: like I've been inundated with baseball in person for you know,

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: a month, getting to see games, getting to be around players,

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: getting to watch practices, getting to see the little things

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: on where guys are going, the players that aren't coming out,

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: all that type of stuff. So my perspective is a

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: little bit different. But of course getting into games that

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: like really count gonna be pretty exciting.

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, And before we start to break down all

39
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: those players, I want to remind everybody if you got

Speaker 2: I think, yeah, you can't do that.

96
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: Two notes. I wanted to because you busted through like

97
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: a ton of stuff there, so it was like I

98
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: was waiting to try to like crevice my way in

99
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: Two things. I just released the my draft cheat sheet

100
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: that's available, the articles that honestly pro that's part of

101
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: the Yeah, but yours was last week. Mine's there if

102
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: people want to check that out as a solo article

103
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: or part of the draft kit. And also we were

104
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 3: doing a mock draft on in this league, our final one.

105
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: You know, we do these mock drafts through January. It's wild.

106
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 3: They're a completely different experience than what we do here.

107
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: And it was our final one and one of the

108
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: guys in there, one of our army members on our

109
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: on our in this league patrio, we have he Uh,

110
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: he's a great fantasy guy. And we started to notice

111
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: because he'd done a couple of mock drafts. We're like,

112
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: he's projecting out great every single time, and he is

113
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: a staunch Fantasy pros guy. And this last one we

114
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 3: finally were like, wait a minute, this is fishy. He

115
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: would we didn't. We haven't gotten to the controversy. We're

116
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: one hundred confident that he was using the Draft Wizard

117
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: against us in it, because he got a perfect one

118
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 3: hundred in the mock draft and did in the final

119
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 3: one projected out number one, and we were like, the

120
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: hell's going on here? And it's happened in two straight

121
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: mock drafts.

122
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: I can guarantee you he's using the Draft Assistant.

123
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: No, we know he was.

124
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: He's a Fantasy pros like hardcore guy, so we know it.

125
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: Uh telling you, I mean, we're not selling stuff here.

126
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: We're trying to win you stuff. There's a big difference. Okay,

127
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: we're part of this together, all the peanuts and cracker jacks,

128
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: not the crackers and the peanut jacks.

129
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: I don't know who those are.

130
00:05:53,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Jacks, Damn peanut jacks. Man. I love you know. I'm

131
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: so hungry lake snails. Hungry after that bad start. Yes,

132
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: all right, let's start with the headlines. And of course

133
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: I woke up and it's you know, I'm old, so

134
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: I fall asleep at like ten o'clock and I woke

135
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: up this morning.

136
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: And it's it's April Fool's Day.

137
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: And I see the Jacob de Gram tweets and I'm like,

138
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: a ha ha, okay, but no, it's real. He's going

139
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: for an MRI on his shoulder. He's got some tightness.

140
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: Now this could very well be soreness tightness, and you're

141
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: you're just kind of the normal thing that happens to

142
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: pictures that they ramp up. But because it's Jacob Degram,

143
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: there's hyperventilating going on, and rightfully so, because of everything

144
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: we saw last year when he's on the mound Welsh,

145
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: he is the best there is.

146
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's it's not even like to

147
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: say he's.

148
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: The best is not fair to the word the best,

149
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: because he is so dominant, he's so incredible. Even it's

150
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, when he had Derrick Henry

151
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: who got hurt last year and he was still like

152
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: RB ten or whatever by the end of the season

153
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: because he was so good With de Gram, he had

154
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: a one eight ERA last year, a point five whip,

155
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: which is just nuts over ninety two innings. Check out

156
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty six guys walk just eleven. I mean,

157
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: it's absurd, it's disgusting how good he is so well

158
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: going into this weekend. Now, what do you do with

159
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: de Gram? How do you approach him from a draft standpoint?

160
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: Now that we have this latest news where things are

161
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: a little bit up in the air.

162
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: Here's the benefit to it? Because I it's a little

163
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: tough for me because I've been a staunched a Gram guy.

164
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: I tend to do this. I recognize it, and I

165
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: think people that listen to me recognize it. These guys

166
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: that are incredible talents that might have an injury tag

167
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: around them, I don't like to ding them to the

168
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: level of even like what was happening with Da Grom.

169
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: You know where people are like, listen, you can't take

170
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: maybe in the fourth round, but you can't take Da

171
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: Grom in the top five pitchers. Blah blah blah. And

172
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: then as soon as I called it, it was one of

173
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: those things I absolutely called. I said, watch what happens

174
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: when you start seeing him pitch. He's gonna go back

175
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: up to being the top pitcher. He went two I

176
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: think overall in a main event on NFBC this past weekend.

177
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: So you know, the blinders come on, you should recognize it.

178
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: But my fault is I don't ding him for these

179
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: type of things because he is so insanely, insanely dominant.

180
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: And I mean, how many times do you see, you know,

181
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: projected pictures to have two and a half eras in

182
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: projections you don't because projections follow the x FIP in

183
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: a lot of those factors. He's just he is the

184
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: best picture when he's out there. So to the question

185
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: what do you do, here's a benefit MRI is happening

186
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: here on Friday. You should know what you're getting into

187
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: on Saturday. For the most part, the likely scenario is

188
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 3: it's nothing serious. He does not pitch his scheduled start

189
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 3: on Saturday, and then they just line him up for

190
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: the season and no DL I el stint and then

191
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: that's the best case scenario, and I think you move

192
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: forward with what you were doing. I was never taking

193
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: de Groam fifth or six overall of all players I loved.

194
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: I loved to Grom before everybody else loved to Grom,

195
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: and it was popular this year in the second round.

196
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: That's where I really liked him. There a risk in

197
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: the first. I don't like taking pictures in the first

198
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: unless it's a points league in general. So nothing has

199
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: changed for me. Everybody else has changed from maybe I'll

200
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: take him in the late third to taking him fifth overall,

201
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: I still stand where I stand now. If it's something

202
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: where you know there's a slight tear and blah blah blah,

203
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: you know, move him down, move him off the board.

204
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: To be frank, If it's something that he's going to

205
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: miss a month, he is going to plump. I mean

206
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: to the point of not even drafting at that point,

207
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: like maybe really late post one hundred. But best case scenario,

208
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: we have answers on Friday following the MRI, we move

209
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 3: forward and maybe just don't take him in the first.

210
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: Take him after cold, take him after burns, take him

211
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: in the second like I was always doing.

212
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: It's very frustrating though, because this is a guy we

213
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: want to take it in the top five picture. But

214
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: there's a chance by the time we get to this

215
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: weekend's drafts that he's more in the Chris Sale, Lance

216
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: mccullor's Jack Flaherty bucket than he is in the top

217
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: five Pitture bucket.

218
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: And that's just a fact.

219
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: And you just mentioned what if he does miss three months,

220
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: what if he misses the whole season?

221
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: You have to weigh that. And I always say this

222
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: to everybody because.

223
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 3: He had the end I mean interview, but he had

224
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: like the elbow or the elbow inflammation I think it was,

225
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: and then he also had the UCL stuff last year.

226
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: So the absolute fear is any of this is tied

227
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 3: to that, and this is going to remind people back

228
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: on the injury.

229
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, yeah.

230
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: So God.

231
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: I think the point I make to everybody is this,

232
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: if you're in a league where you have a heavy

233
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: financial investment, I'm just not taking the risk.

234
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it. There's other approaches.

235
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: Why put yourself in a deficit, and it's heartbreaking because

236
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: I know what the upside is. But if you're in

237
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: a fun league, if you're at a casual league, yeah,

238
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: this is a great way to have some fun and

239
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: take a chance if you get a discount, and I

240
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: assume you're gonna get a discount. If he was a

241
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: pitcher going consistently in the second round, I would think,

242
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: no matter what the MRI tells you, even if it's

243
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: positive he's gonna at least take a two round hit,

244
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: he's gonna go in the fourth round or something like

245
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: that would be my guess for most casual leagues, or even.

246
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: Unless you pitch his saturdy, if he goes back and

247
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 3: he's on his normal schedule and.

248
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: It's not that'd be really hard sale for me. I

249
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: don't know about that.

250
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: You think I'm just saying, well, that's his scheduled start.

251
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 3: If you were to go and pitch just hypothetical, I

252
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: think he's no longer a for sure first rounder. He's

253
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: somewhere in the second, you know, maybe late second. Maybe

254
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: you get a little bit of a discount on him.

255
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: If we go back to a regular scheduling program like

256
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 3: that's where that would go. But I don't know if

257
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: that's going to be the case.

258
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to our regularly scheduled topic here,

259
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: which is spring, risers and fallers and Welsh what's start

260
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: with you? Who's a guy that's rising up your board

261
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: after spring is now sprung?

262
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: Now this will be a funny one because as a

263
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: prospect person, you guys know that, especially this specific person

264
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: I've talked a whole lot about. But I have to

265
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: admit I would chastise people in January for taking this

266
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: guy so high because I didn't see the path. And

267
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: then you had MLB's agreement on CBA come out and

268
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 3: they have some incentives prospects to make the roster. Okay,

269
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: that's a little bit better. Still didn't see the path.

270
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: This team then made a move to trade for a

271
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: positional player that this guy would be there. I still

272
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 3: didn't see the path. Then I saw this guy in

273
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: games and saw how the team was treating him on

274
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: the backfields, and Julio Rodriguez had to skyrocket back up

275
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: the boards. He wasn't a guy I was drafting early on.

276
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 3: And because I mean honestly, the team has babied him.

277
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: You know that there's been a breaking ball kind of thing.

278
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: He gets a little bit wild, which he showed in

279
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago, where you know, he's young guy,

280
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: base path, running defense. Sometimes I can get just a

281
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: little bit wild, and I didn't see the need for

282
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: the team to want to press him. But you now

283
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: go out you see how he had some adversity. I

284
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: think it was on Wednesday, and then Thursday he comes

285
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: out and he has an inside the park homer. He's walking,

286
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: He's two for two. He's a team leader. I've been

287
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 3: on the backfields of the Mariners about four times over

288
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 3: the last like two and a half weeks. He is

289
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: consistently working with Kelnick, consistently working with Winker. He's with

290
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: the majors at every point. He's most physically imposing guy.

291
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 3: He's one of the best players that is out there

292
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: consistently offensively, and it's hard to deny. I don't think

293
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: the Mariners necessarily are doing it for the extra compensation,

294
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: but when you get into that two hundred range, it

295
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: is worth taking the risk and the shot. On Julio Rodriguez,

296
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: it looks like he can make the opening day roster.

297
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: I don't see what they're going to put him down

298
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: for Kyle Lewis is hurt. Taylor Tremmell has not been playing,

299
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: by the way, even healthy, he's all good, they're not

300
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: playing him in competitive games. I think he's a fourth outfielder.

301
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: I think Kohlio makes the roster. He has skyrocketed up

302
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: the boards. I don't think I'll be the top guy

303
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: on Fantasy pros, but I pushed him up very close

304
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: into the two hundred range, and he's one of the

305
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: top prospects you should draft, even though there's no guarantees

306
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: on him. Do it now, because if they were to

307
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: announce let's say today and Friday, coming into the weekend.

308
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: I don't know when you guys are listening to this,

309
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: but let's just say hypothetically, Scott Service comes out and says,

310
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: Julio Rodriguez has made the roster and he'll be batting

311
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: six for the Mariners this season. I'm not joking you.

312
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: Julio might go right around one hundred overall. I'm serious.

313
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: I really think he well, I've got him as a

314
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: top fifty outfielder already.

315
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he can get in that range. So

316
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: that's why you should reach. You should go. And he

317
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: has skyrocket up my board, and Spring has done him

318
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: fantastic favors where most you know, most of these guys,

319
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: it doesn't really do that right.

320
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing too. We always talk about

321
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: how certain players Spring matters more than others. Other players

322
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: they can, it doesn't matter. They can have good springs

323
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: and bad springs.

324
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: You know who they are.

325
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: But to look at the ten games he's had this spring,

326
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: two on the run, six RBI, nine strikeouts, but he's

327
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: got three walks, three stone bases, hitting three sixty with

328
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: a four to twenty nine OVP and the seven to

329
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: twenty slugging. So the ops is eleven forty nine. So

330
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: Rodriguez right now, I'm with you. In fact, I'm good

331
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: with being aggressive on him. And if you have a

332
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: draft Friday, as we're saying Saturday, when that news changes,

333
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: if it does change, If it does, it's gonna be

334
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: even worse in terms of price tag you're gonna have

335
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: to pay for him. I wouldn't take over in a redraft.

336
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm not taking him over Jared Walsh yet. I'm not

337
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: taking him over Hunter Renfro yet. But right around where

338
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: you got to start to have that Jesse Winker say

339
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: as a Zuki kind of conversation. That's where I'm starting

340
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: to wonder do I want the upside? And I think

341
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: it's a fair conversation.

342
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: You and I are a little different on that. I

343
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 3: just want to point out Winkers which one far higher.

344
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you put Winker in the saales Zu I

345
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: do not. I do not remotely put those two in

346
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: the same range. But I just want to point out

347
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: in our last mock draft, I think Julio went about

348
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: one seventy five, so I think between I think when

349
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 3: one fifty hits, you need to start getting on your business.

350
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: You need to start considering if he's a guy I

351
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: think around for do Go, I think around Carlson. Suzuki

352
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: is a great example a Doulus Garcia. That's where you

353
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: need to start considering if you want to be aggressive

354
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: on him. Rookies are a little bit dangerous, but regardless,

355
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: this could be I mean, Julio's running now, so he

356
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: might steal fifteen if he plays all year, and he

357
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: legit could hit thirty strikeouts. Though you got to watch,

358
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: and that's always been the thing I got right. I

359
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: don't know if they bring.

360
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: Him up well in Roto.

361
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: I think the power speed combination is tantalizing enough in

362
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: points league's different story, so I think.

363
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: That's also with the caveat all. Right, let's go to

364
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: my guy.

365
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: First on my list is Tore Scooble, who's had a

366
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: wonderful spring so far. If you look at what he's

367
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: done so far over the three game starts, eight two

368
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: thirds innings, thirteen strikeouts, just three walks, just a one

369
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: point two six whip. People have been waiting on kind

370
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: of in this grouping of the Mannings and the Mises

371
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: and miss pitched very well also. But I think with Scooble,

372
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: what you've seen so far is he's gotten hit around

373
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: the ballpark a little bit, and that's the thing that

374
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: you want to try to cut back a little bit.

375
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: Home runs last year a big problem too. Gave up

376
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: thirty five of them. That's going to be way too

377
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: many to have success. But I think if you look

378
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: at what he's doing now, this is very encouraging because

379
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: it's twenty five years old this year. This is where

380
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: you want to see him after you know he's had

381
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: about what thirty five starts or so in the big leagues.

382
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: This is where I think you want to look and

383
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: take that step forwards, like, okay, you got your feet wet,

384
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: Now what's your confidence level?

385
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: And I think when you're.

386
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: Looking at Schooble, this is one of those pictures we

387
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: always talk about, you know, good pictures on bad teams. Yeah,

388
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: they probably can help you with wins, but if they

389
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: can help you with quality start leagues, keep an eye

390
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: on them. And if they're efficient, that's important, and if

391
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: they can help you strikeouts and school might be able

392
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: to do a lot of those things. So although he

393
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: might not get you w's when you're looking at guys

394
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: who are undervalued right now, I think he's one of

395
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: those guys. So Schooble for me, is one to keep

396
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: an eye on. Any I've moved him up my board too.

397
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying that he's, you know, a

398
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: number three starter by any stretcher that means, but I

399
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: think he is in that conversation now, in that top

400
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: sixty ish range to at least consider what do you think?

401
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, people forget too. There was a period

402
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 3: of time where people started to like Scooble over Casey Miz,

403
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 3: you know, in Casey Miss with the big Splitter, you know,

404
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: has always been unique, but Scooble has been, you know,

405
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: a big two punch type of guy, big fastball, just

406
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 3: needed to get right. And I think both of these

407
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: guys it's the you know, Matt Manning throwing in there

408
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: is also really interesting because at one time he was

409
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 3: seen as a top guy, and I think he's kind

410
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: of moved below those three. I think it's been very,

411
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: very encouraging. He was a really intriguing strikeout guy on

412
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 3: the back end of this last year. And what's weird

413
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 3: is myz doesn't have like this, and I say secondaries

414
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 3: outside of the splitter, he doesn't have overpowering secondaries of that.

415
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 3: Matt Manning hasn't really proved to be consistent. Scooble probably

416
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: is the best strikeout guy here. And you know, probably

417
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: at the end of the day when we're just trying

418
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: to piece together a couple of these categories, if you

419
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: can get strikeouts cheap late, this might be a nine

420
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: and a half, maybe even higher K per nine type

421
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 3: of guy. Detroit's got a few more pieces in there,

422
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 3: especially if they let Torque and Riley Green break camp

423
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 3: and they've got Hobby Bison, they might sneak a couple

424
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: more wins. I wouldn't be surprised to see to Scoogble

425
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: pick up a few more wins as well and be

426
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: more of an asset. So I like that pick.

427
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break in the action to tell

445
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to another one of your risers

446
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: this spring. Well, she was on your list.

447
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: Now that's a big name guy, and this is probably

448
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: a pretty obvious one, but I soured quite a bit

449
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: coming into this year on Chris Bryant, who I've always loved,

450
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: you know, really poorous year didn't really seem to have

451
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 3: a proper home. You know, the Giants were a question

452
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 3: where was he gonna play? But I can't deny going

453
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 3: to Colorado absolutely changed everything. It's almost like the dumb

454
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: and dumber thing, like absolutely, you know, just when I

455
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: had him, God, man, I had him around, I think.

456
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: Totally redeemed himself. Yeah that's that, yeah line you're.

457
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: Looking for, totally redeemed yourself. He was around the nineties.

458
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I was legit thinking between Anthony Rendon and

459
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 3: Chris Bryant. The move to Colorado in the extra the

460
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 3: extra love that you're gonna get with kind of a

461
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: crappy position in general, I'm not the biggest Alex bregnant guy.

462
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: Aaron Otto's fine, but the upside on Bryant to regain

463
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 3: that MVP quality in the most hit or friendly place,

464
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: even though they all have humidors now, which is interesting.

465
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: He flew up my board and I haven't gotten into

466
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: this territory where people are taking him around twenty five

467
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: thirty overall, which is bonkers on that bed especially.

468
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: I think they do it for the position flexibility, which

469
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: is in the mack we do. A couple weeks ago.

470
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: I did that, and I love the fact that the

471
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: draft then came to me and I could go BPA

472
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: for three rounds after and just keep moving him around

473
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: the diamond. That's a huge That is worth a little

474
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: bit of a premium to me. I don't want to

475
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: overstate it, but the deeper the format you play, the

476
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: more that becomes a huge asset because less the draft

477
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: than filter to you, and you could keep taking the

478
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: best talent.

479
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: Just move.

480
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna move to first, move to third, can

481
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: move now for like a move all over.

482
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 3: I agree, but I think it's more the Colorado. It

483
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: just put a hit.

484
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: It helps him thirty homers in.

485
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: Colorado who's had like Cody Bellinger. Everybody's off on Cody

486
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: Bellinger right now. Everybody is kind of fading him. It's

487
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 3: actually not a guy will probably talk about here in

488
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: a little bit, But imagine Cody Bellinger coming off these

489
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: bad years and then going into Colorado. What people would do,

490
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: you would forget. So it's kind of the same thing

491
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: as Chris Bryant. Chris Bryant has proven to be a

492
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: better hitter, So I agree, position flexibility is great, third

493
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 3: base sucks, and put a you know, big bopping hitter

494
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: in Colorado. All those factors came in. But from a

495
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: rising perspective, that's it for me. He's really moved up. Plus,

496
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 3: I think this team can be aggressive on the base paths,

497
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 3: which might be good for players in front for RBI opportunities.

498
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 3: It's not a there's obviously, the Dodgers are incredible. The

499
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: Padres are fine, though they're little wonky and their staff,

500
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 3: but you know, you get to play Arizona, you get

501
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 3: to play in Colorado. So he has really moved up

502
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: into that you know, top fifty range. I don't really

503
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: love it inside the top twenty five, but anywhere between

504
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: thirty and fifty if you want to jump on it,

505
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: I'm good with it. And he has rocketed up my board.

506
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: All right, I'll give you another big name on my

507
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: list too, since we're doing the big names here and

508
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: it's Francisco Lindor.

509
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 2: Who is I know, you know, he's had good springs

510
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: in the past.

511
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: I get that. I understand that that's that's good, that's

512
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: a positive thing. But after last year, it was such

513
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: a bad taste in everyone's mouth, and we saw the

514
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: typical guy signs a big contract in a new place,

515
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: especially a big market, struggles out of the gate, gets

516
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: into some media tussle, especially New York.

517
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: You have that whole controversy.

518
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Who went bias showed up, They where the thumbs down

519
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: stuff and all that nonsense. But at the end of

520
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: the year, those people held on to Francisco Lindor, those

521
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: people who acquired him actually ended up getting a benefit there.

522
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: They stayed true eventually, if you were still relevant, Francisco

523
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: Lindor did perform. And what he's doing right now this

524
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: spring with ten hits, ten RBI, four home runs, already

525
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: hit four hundred this spring, he's showing you power. He's

526
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: got a couple doubles too. Again, stolen a base, which

527
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: is just I'd like to see him steal a base

528
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: the spring. That'd be nice. But this was a player

529
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, just a year removed basically

530
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: from he's kind of an almost first round talent, and

531
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: I think we have to buy back in. I think

532
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: the hype that goes along when you go to a

533
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: big market team is the adverse that happens too, is

534
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: when you don't perform well all of a sudden, then

535
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: people underestimate you and forget and they want to pile

536
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: on a little bit because the exposure level was so

537
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: big on the positives and the failures, and he felt

538
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: a little bit last year. Let's be honest, I would

539
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: say what four and a half months of the season

540
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: was a failure for Cisco Landor? Right? Would you agree

541
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: with that? Well? About about right. So now we're getting

542
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: to a point with Lindor where if he's got a

543
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: good spring, if he seems like he's got a good

544
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: fresh attitude going in there, I think here's a lot

545
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: more attention on guys like Scherzer right now and some

546
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: of the other acquisitions, and there is necessarily on Lindor.

547
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: That's all the good things. So Lindor to me's another

548
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: player that I I know say move up because he's

549
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: already pretty highly rated player. That's the struggle kind of

550
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: like with Welshissing. But I've moved him back into that

551
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: place where I think, yeah, you know what, this guy

552
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: is a second round talent and you might be able

553
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: to get him, might maybe in the third or fourth round.

554
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 2: And I think that's right.

555
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Yeah, I mean I think depending on the

556
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: depth of your league too. I mean, if you're in

557
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: a shallow league, he's going a little bit later than

558
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: he should because people also look at shortstop, but it's

559
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: quote so deep end quote they're kind of dismissing the

560
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: talent there. And I think Lindor has another big season

561
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: potentially in him. But this is a guy with you know,

562
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty five kind of potential.

563
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was. I'm with you because I

564
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: was always there this spring, you know, digging in on

565
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: last year. I mean, there's a lot of like little

566
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 3: worrisome things that were poking out there. But it's one

567
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: of those anomalies to the picture who he was if

568
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 3: you take it over you know, the COVID year in

569
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: last year. Otherwise, this had been a really consistent hitter,

570
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 3: you know, a twenty twenty type of guy, a five

571
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 3: tool player. If you a five tool, right shortstop where

572
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: you get those really needed stolen bases where some of

573
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 3: these guys don't you know where you're not getting him

574
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: from Seeger and Korea by as you're not getting the

575
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 3: batting average for you got all of that with Lindor,

576
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: and Lindor, like you said, uniquely could be a first

577
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 3: round talent that you can get in the third or

578
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: fourth round and you know he's had. We've also talked

579
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: about this before where a lot of these guys in

580
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 3: this new adjustment team period where they change major franchises,

581
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: they've got some growing pains to learn, new divisions, new teammates,

582
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: just new life, you know, circumstances, and then they come

583
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: in and they rEFInd themselves. Matchata as an example of that.

584
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: I think this can be that year for Frankie Lindor.

585
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: So I have been there with you. I'm totally with it.

586
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 3: He was high pre spring and I'm still there and

587
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 3: I'm excited. I'm excited to try to draft him. Actually

588
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 3: this weekend, I don't know if I have a ton

589
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 3: of shares.

590
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: Well, I don't have any yet. I haven't really gotten

591
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: a chance to take him. He's going as the ninth

592
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: shortstop off the board. Right now. I would take him

593
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: over Tatisse right now. I think I would take him

594
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: in a five by five over wander Franco. I would

595
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: take him over Trevor's story. Personally, I think he is

596
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: the conversation with Tim Anderson. If you want to have

597
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: that one, that's fine, But I think he's you know,

598
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: maybe safer than Marcus Simeon coming off that career year.

599
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: You can make the argument the Lindor.

600
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: Is the third or fourth shortstop in fantasy. You can

601
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: make an argument because you can never make the argument.

602
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. The problem is there's that also the problem in

603
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: that position, there's this clump of all these great guys

604
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 3: that I don't even like to sit here and have

605
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: this argument of like this guy over this guy, because

606
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: literally within a ten pick range, I think you're looking

607
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 3: at Tim Anderson, Trevor's story, Wander Franco, Francisco, Lindor's a

608
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: and Bogarts and all those guys, and you can pick

609
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: and choose. You know, it's a create your own adventure

610
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 3: with what whatever shortstop you want, where it's like, hey,

611
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: I get second base eligibility with Trevor story at some point,

612
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 3: or I'm going to get the stolen bases here, or

613
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to get better batting average with Franco, you know,

614
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 3: so you can build the stories of all of those guys,

615
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 3: but it also kind of muddies that position a little bit.

616
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: Why I probably don't have the shares because there's so

617
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: many guys, and there's guys later like we've talked about

618
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 3: with the you know, Willie Damis or the Brandon Crawford's

619
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: even super late or Bobby Witt Junior. So that's why

620
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: I don't get in on that. But what would be

621
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: nice is if Lindor is the faller, and he's likely

622
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 3: to be the guy that falls because story's got new

623
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 3: big buzz. Tim Anderson is big on stolen bases, Wander Franco,

624
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: you know, the next big thing. Lindor seems to be

625
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: the odd man out, and that's actually really good for that,

626
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: like you know, forty to fifty range if you can

627
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 3: swoop him up.

628
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to another guy who's a riser

629
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: for you this spring Welsh in the draft boards.

630
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 3: I'm going with another young guy, Jeremy Pania. I don't

631
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: know how many people are up on Jeremy Pagnia. He's

632
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: a shortstop with the system. He's actually out here in

633
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 3: the Arizona Fall League, like two thousand and nineteen, I

634
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 3: believe it was, and he has consistently bulked gotten bigger.

635
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 3: He's a hulk out there, and the team loves him,

636
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 3: loves him so much that they've given him the reins

637
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: for Carlo's Korea Leaving. On the broadcast just a couple

638
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: of days ago, I was watching Jeff Bagwell was just

639
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 3: owing and awing about him where they were hitting him

640
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 3: up high in the batting order. I don't really truly

641
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 3: believe they would do this, but they're talking about even

642
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: potentially letting Jeremy Paenia lead off occasionally. He's a really

643
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 3: solid contact guy. He's got completely underrated power because just

644
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: people don't understand or really know about Jeremy Pania, and

645
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 3: if you're hitting high in that lineup, you kind of

646
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: can't deny the value that might be there from the

647
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: shortstop position for a guy like this later in drafts,

648
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: and I think I've seen a lot of people picking

649
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: him up late just his perspective. In twenty and twenty one, Painia,

650
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: in only one hundred and forty five at bats, had

651
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: ten homers. With sixtill in them. Base is hitting two

652
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 3: ninety seven in the minors and he has hit over

653
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 3: two ninety since twenty nineteen. He's gone through four levels

654
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: of the minor leagues. He's twenty four years old, big

655
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 3: six foot shortstop, added power. I think he could sneak

656
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: into twenty homers there. He'll steal some bases as well.

657
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: Astros don't steal bases, so we'll kind of see how

658
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: that goes. But if they are really gonna put Kyle

659
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 3: Tucker back in the order and not lead off Altuve

660
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: and Paynya is going to get some of that run.

661
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 3: This is a guy who through his spring he's been

662
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 3: successful and the team has talked him up and they

663
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: haven't filled his position. So Jeremy Pania super good, sneaky

664
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: late shortstop to pick, and he has moved up my

665
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 3: draft board to really pay attention to because we would

666
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: be drafting him as more of a middle infielder and

667
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: he might be worth.

668
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: It, I can tell you right now. Via to the

669
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: top of the order in April.

670
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be very interested in the DFS world in

671
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: him because he's going to be a lot cheaper than

672
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the other guys in that position, and

673
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: hitting at the tubby the order is always something you

674
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: want to targeting those. So I think that's a great

675
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: name to throw out, not just for season long, for

676
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: DFS purposes too, So Welsh throughout a young guy, I'm

677
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna throw out an old fart. Normally it's good when

678
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: you lead the league in home runs, except when you're

679
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: a pitcher. Patrick Corbin last year gave up thirty seven

680
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: of him not good. He also led the league and

681
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: earned runs, giving up one hundred and eleven. Patrick Corbin

682
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: is such an odd career when you look at it,

683
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: because if you go back to some of those diamondback days,

684
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: you know the years where he's going two hundred innings

685
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: back to back, right back to back seasons. In eighteen

686
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: to nineteen, the ERA was under three to three, and

687
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, right he goes to the Nationals,

688
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: has a good season there, we think, okay, you know,

689
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty eighth strikeouts, All right, this is

690
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: this is the guy we won Patrick Corbyn. Then twenty

691
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: twenty the wheels fell off four to six six ERA,

692
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: and then last year, I mean the whole he fell

693
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: out of the car. I mean, if the wheels fell

694
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: off the car, he was like Fred Flintstone, kind of

695
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: like trying to put it together with his feet. Which

696
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: I know that's an older reference for some of you

697
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: out there. You could go google it, but I mean

698
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: last year he was nine and sixteen. I know we

699
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: don't pay an attention at records, but it's just funny.

700
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: So he led the lead again, lost games, He led

701
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: the league and earned runs, and he led the league

702
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: in home runs given up. It's not good, but but

703
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: he is free and so far this spring nine innings,

704
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts, two walks. So I don't know if it's

705
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: a health issue the last couple of years with him,

706
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a confidence issue. I don't

707
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: know what it is. Well, but as a free pitcher

708
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: towards the end of drafts, if you're gonna give me

709
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: a healthy enough Patrick Corbyn, who could even get dealt

710
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: as I'm sure Washington's gonna just continue to unload assets

711
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: here this year, he could end up on a much

712
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: better team sometime in July or August. If that happens.

713
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: You know, right now, the spring performance has been eye

714
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: opening to me, and I always like to look at this.

715
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: You know, those bounce back guys are just as important

716
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: as the young sexy guys like the Rodriguezz that we

717
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: talked about before, the school bulls. Sometimes the old fart

718
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: guys too that people have kind of dismissed and forgotten about.

719
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: And if he can get back on track, this is

720
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: a guy. Once upon a time, Welsh was one of

721
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: those guys you looked at as a one to a

722
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: kind of ace in fantasy baseball. And I know the

723
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: Nats aren't gonna win a ton of games, but I

724
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: think as a free square, I'm investing.

725
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: What do you think about KORbin potentially bouncing back?

726
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is another one of those guys. You picked

727
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 3: another one that I like as well. Twenty nineteen he

728
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 3: had fourteen wins with an over ten k per nine

729
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: and a three ERA. He actually had three and a

730
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: half x FIP in two thousand and nineteen and twenty

731
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: eighteen he had a sub three x FIP, which is bonkers.

732
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: I mean literally, his x FIP was better than his era.

733
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: The problem is, guy's a two pitch pitcher, and if

734
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 3: you get inconsistent or you're not full in anybody, you're

735
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: not gonna work, and that's where he's falling apart. It's

736
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: the same thing we've seen with the Chris Paddock with

737
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: the padres where you know, I know he has tried

738
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: to add a third pitch and try it. I think

739
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: it's the curveball and trying to get more. You know, guys,

740
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: you have to be able to set up more, and

741
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: when you're a two pitch pitcher, you don't have a

742
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: lot of that, especially if your fastball is flattening out

743
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: or you're not getting spin on it, you're not commanding it,

744
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: and all guys are gonna do is sit on your

745
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: second sit and wait on your secondaries because they know

746
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: they can catch up to your fastball. And that's a

747
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: lot of what we saw with Patrick Corban. But I'm

748
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: in because this team can't get out from under the

749
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 3: pitching because of the contracts. They also, even though we

750
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 3: talk about them maybe blowing it up, they're kind of

751
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: pseudo still in there and still competing. And if the

752
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 3: pitchers were to work, I think it would get them

753
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 3: back in that. Patrick Corbyn is a guy that I

754
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 3: think can get back into double digit wins. I think

755
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: he can regain the strikeouts we're kind of seeing it

756
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: in the spring, which I think is encouraging. And the

757
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,239
Speaker 3: most important part is he is free. He's free with

758
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: only two years removed of ten plus k per nine

759
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: and lots of wins. It's not the same team, but

760
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: I will take free ninety nine on Patrick Corbyn and

761
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: I'm in.

762
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 1: He's free like the MLB draft kit over fantasypros dot

763
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: Com slash kid. See what I did there. So I've

764
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: got Patrick Corbin. I've moved him all the way up

765
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: into the high sixties here. He's in that same range

766
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: as like Casey Mice and Louis Patino. Would you take

767
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: Corbyn or one of those younger guys.

768
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: In a redraft to Pattino or.

769
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Louis Patino and Casey Mice, Yeah.

770
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: They're all in the same tier. I might well, you

771
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: know what, I would have said, Patino, but he's been

772
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 3: like a little bit banged up. I might take Corbin.

773
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: I think I might take Corbyn. I've got Corbin ahead

774
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: of him again, that's the order right now. I've got

775
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: it corbyin Patino myz. And then you know some guys

776
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: like Alex Cobb floating around there too. Well, that's a

777
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: bonus one we're not gonna talk about, but I'm sure

778
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: he's flying up and rightfully so. If he's touching ninety

779
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: seven on the gun coming off a good year in

780
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, that's another bonus guy that wasn't on our

781
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: lists but almost made mine. But I just think I'll

782
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,959
Speaker 1: take my shirt on the guy who's thrown two hundred

783
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: innings more than once. You know.

784
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's actually the really important key there is

785
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: he's gonna get massive amounts of innings. They're gonna rely

786
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 3: on him all year long. I don't think they can

787
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 3: get out from the contract. You hope he doesn't have

788
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 3: sixteen losses again this year, but it kind of a

789
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: scrappy team.

790
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: I'll take the sixteen losses if he gives me a

791
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: ten K per nine. He gives me a mid three

792
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: z e R, I'll take that.

793
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: That's fine.

794
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: You can lose all those games you want, all right,

795
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to the last guy on the Riser list

796
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: for you while show you got.

797
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 3: If you're talking about, who are the guys during spring

798
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: that have helped their cause, I'm not sure there is

799
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 3: a guy that's helped their cause more than Haesu's Lozardo,

800
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: whose former top prospect. I absolutely loved him with the

801
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 3: A's and he really fell into inconsistency, which is so

802
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: interesting because that is a lot of what he was

803
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 3: built off of. Lozardo multi pitch pitcher, lots of different pitches,

804
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 3: he could command the zone. But one of the things

805
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: I loved about him, he's a very off kilter pitcher.

806
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 3: So you know, he would normal pitch you and then

807
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: you know, second pitch in he might he might quick

808
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: pitch you, like he gets the ball and just bahm,

809
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 3: and then he might do a hold, you know, hold

810
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 3: his foot motion and then pitch, so he would keep

811
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 3: guys off balance. He's a really smart pitcher with multiple

812
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 3: good pitches, and became completely inconsistent. He lost a decent

813
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 3: amount of his fastball. He's risen his average fastball. This

814
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: I know one of the starts, and my buddy Chris

815
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 3: Claig had tweeted about a couple of these things. You've

816
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: seen him a put almost three miles per hour back

817
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: on his fastball, hitting the high nineties and see b

818
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: see jumping in and throwing the curveball more than the fastball.

819
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 3: And that really sets up because if you are throwing

820
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 3: ninety nine and everybody has to sit on that curveball,

821
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 3: you're going to get strikeouts. It's just the type of

822
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 3: success a young pitcher that's actually like kind of like

823
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 3: a twenty seven to twenty eight, twenty nine year old

824
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 3: type of game I would think they would be playing.

825
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: This is a really smart game plan for him, and

826
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 3: I think it's going to lead to success. Overpowering with

827
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 3: your secondaries and then just punch out, you know, high

828
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 3: on the fastball and him adding that type of ve low.

829
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: That speaks for itself. You know, that's not even a

830
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: spring stat. That is just result, and we don't always

831
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: need stats to you know, make us come to our decisions.

832
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 3: That is a simple result that leads to probably him

833
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 3: being a guy that not only need to target, but

834
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: we've talked about the cheat code guys. He's an RP.

835
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 3: He's in a qualify relief pitcher for a lot of places.

836
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: So if you want to sneak in that, throw him

837
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 3: in there. So Lizardo's moved.

838
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: Up for me, all right? Love that one. Love Wizardo.

839
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: In those leagues where he might qualify at RP and

840
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: s P, that's that's huge, especially in those mandatory spots there.

841
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: So I hope he gets back on track because I'm

842
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: like you, Welsh, I was somebody who was absolutely in

843
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 1: love with the talent in the Oakland system.

844
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 3: And then it's just he's not free anymore, which I

845
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 3: don't like. He was free before. He's much less free.

846
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 3: He's really risen up boards, So I don't I will

847
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 3: say this, I'm not willing to overpay for him and

848
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 3: a lot of other people buzzy names. People will pay

849
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 3: whatever the costs, even the guys we've talked.

850
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: About, like, well, he's consensus to seventy three overall right now,

851
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: pitcher number eighty three on the board.

852
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: That's it's pretty good.

853
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 3: But I've seen him go into the two hundreds.

854
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 2: Like, well, here's a question for you.

855
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: Would you take Alex Cobb or would you take Hazu's

856
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: Lozardo because those they're pretty close to each other right

857
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: now in terms of the expert consensus rankings on Fantasy

858
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: pers you.

859
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 3: Picked another guy who's had a lot of good vload

860
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 3: changes as well.

861
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I put it out there.

862
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 3: I would take Cobb personally, but I think Iron as well.

863
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm hiring like that ballpark, Yeah.

864
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in the same mind as you, all right,

865
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: last guy for me, it's a riser. Mackenzie Gore having

866
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: a wonderful spring this year. He's taking the ball three

867
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: times nine innings so far, eleven strikeouts, one walk. If

868
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: you go look at the minor league track record over

869
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: fifty five minor league starts, he's got a three point

870
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: two eight career eer got a two point eight five

871
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: career era. Pardon me, I was, We'll get the wrong

872
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: number there, the one point one zero six whip. The

873
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: guy's striking out eleven per nine. This is a guy

874
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: we've been hearing about for ages now. It seems like

875
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: and just haven't quite cracked that rotation. We thought he

876
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: might get dealt in one of these deals moving back

877
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: and forth. But I mean, Mackenzie Gore right now certainly

878
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: looks like a guy that should get a shot at

879
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: this rotation. Clevenger did start this week. It was not

880
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: a great start. Clevenger said, I always think and bring.

881
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: He hasn't pitched in a very long time, so there's

882
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: a chance maybe that Clevenger's working behind everybody. I'm not

883
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: exactly sure how many starts we're gonna get out of

884
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: Mackenzie Gore this year, but I think you're gonna get

885
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: enough to invest in him, so I moved him up

886
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: my board a decent amount, still kind of after some

887
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: of these other guys because of the unknown factors a

888
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: little bit. And he is still a young pitcher, so

889
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: there's still some limitations. But when you're looking at Mackenzie Gore,

890
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: where do you have him Welsh and and what are

891
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: your expectations for Gore in twenty twenty two.

892
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: I am not with everybody else on this. And I

893
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 3: loved Mackenzie Gore back in twenty seventeen, was at his

894
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 3: pro his first pro start, one of my favorite pictures.

895
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: I had him at number one forever. But over this

896
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 3: last two years he's really kind of fallen apart a

897
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: little bit as who he was. Saw him in common.

898
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: He was terrible in the Arizona Fall. By the way,

899
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched him. He was a

900
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: seventy hour dude.

901
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 2: He was gonna say you saw him, bitch, he was.

902
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: Did He played rookie ball out here. They kept him

903
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: hanging at the complex for a while. Then he played

904
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 3: rookie ball. Then he went to the AFL after he's

905
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: shown signs, but that's my problem with him. I believe

906
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 3: he's a reliever and I think he should be groomed

907
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 3: to be a closer at some point. His fastball doesn't

908
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 3: have the spin that it used to. He can't pump

909
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: ninety seven inconsistent. He's got a pump closer to ninety four.

910
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 3: He started throwing his curveball again, which I think has

911
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 3: been more success. But his stuff is all right, you know,

912
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: and he's had more He has more confidence right now

913
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 3: where he's hitting the zones. But I don't personally believe

914
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna get into the second or third through the lineup,

915
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: and that's going to hurt as a starter. So my

916
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 3: expectation for this year, and maybe I'll be wrong. You know,

917
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 3: the Potters might trade out Chris Paddock and Nick Martinez

918
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 3: is not an option, and they put him in. But

919
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a role for Mackenzie Gore to

920
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 3: be a starter. I think he'd be a spot starter.

921
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 3: I think he's a kind of mid reliever playing a

922
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 3: Garrett Crochet role. I think he'll find success. Maybe he'll

923
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: be a starter next year, but I really believe the

924
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 3: bullpen long term is where he's going to go. But

925
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: I will point out he has worked with the starters

926
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 3: the entire offseason. Here in the spring, he's with Paddock

927
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: all the time is where I usually see him. I

928
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 3: don't see him hanging out with any of the relievers

929
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 3: or anything like that. So they're going to continue to

930
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 3: do it until they can't. But I personally do not

931
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 3: believe he can. So I'm not on board with McKenzie gore.

932
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough there, So those are our risers,

933
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: Treek schoobl Francisco Lindor, Patrick Corbin, Mackenzie Gore. For me,

934
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: I would also throw Hunter Green into that mix as well.

935
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: Who's making the rotation? Who? My goodness, I only had

936
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: eight keepers in this one league, and I kept him

937
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: for like three bucks because I was like, I feel

938
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: like he's gonna play this year a lot, and feeling

939
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: pretty good about that one. So that's good. That same

940
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: team as to gram on it. So hopefully somebody pitches

941
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: for me this week, Oh my god. All right, and

942
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: then of course the Welsh has Julio Rodriguez, Chris Bryant,

943
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: Jeremy Pinia, hayesus Lozardo. When we threw an Alex cobb

944
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: in there two as a mutual one. All right, let's

945
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: get some of the followers here. For me, number one

946
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: was Lance mccullors. I mean, this is just easy, and

947
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: it's injury related. You know, spring performance when there's zero

948
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: spring performance and this lingering injuries with a guy who's

949
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: had injuries already. I love the talent. I was very

950
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: high on him. If he asked me in January, I

951
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I'm and I have all the mccolors

952
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: this year. Hopefully shows up to camp healthy and we're

953
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: ready to go. That hasn't happened. He's been a foller

954
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: for me. I've knocked him sick magnificantly down in my rankings.

955
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm going to do another, probably another refresh

956
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: of some of these rankings right before we finished this show,

957
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: and I've just plummeted him. I just don't feel like

958
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: we're going to get a Lansma Color Seniors season at

959
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: this point, which is very sad.

960
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: So I'm just not touching him.

961
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: I have him at Pitcher seventy five right now, but

962
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: that might even potentially get worse. So he's a definite

963
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: faller for me. Welsh, who is a faller on your list.

964
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's not as significant as that, And I

965
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: don't want to make every single one of these about injuries,

966
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 3: but Luis Castillo has kind of fallen for me. He's

967
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 3: been the kind of some of the inconsistencies with the team.

968
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 3: I'm really worried about the team context with him as well.

969
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 3: Injury worries are out there, so I've pushed him outside

970
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 3: of my top one hundred. And you know, he's one

971
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: of those guys everybody, you know, primatively everyone's like, oh

972
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: Lois Castillo, he's going to break out, and he's inconsistent

973
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 3: in seasons. He's got months of eight eras and then

974
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 3: he finds it for a month and a half. He's

975
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 3: the hobby Bayas or the He's the odabertilmnd Tocy of

976
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 3: pitchers type of guy, like he could be one of

977
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 3: the best and he can completely fall apart. I'm just

978
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 3: not I would take him if Bush comes to shove,

979
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: but I'm not interested in paying the cost for him.

980
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 3: And you know, them decimating that team has moved him

981
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 3: off a little bit. So Luis Castillo number one for me?

982
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: All right?

983
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: For me? Another faller's Cody Bellinger. I was trying to

984
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: be patient, give him the benefit of the doubt, Welsh,

985
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's a smart thing to do when

986
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: you've seen players who have had monstrous seasons, right, I

987
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: don't want to go and be the prisoner of the moment.

988
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to go and see a player who

989
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: was once hitting forty bombs and then have some struggles

990
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden say, yeah, that guy's toast.

991
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: He's done. But man, I'm just not seeing anything. Cody Bellinger,

992
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: he's had a buck forty eight so far. I know

993
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: he had a decent postseason where people start to get

994
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: a little excited again. But the biggest one for me,

995
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: Welsh this spring He's had ten games, twenty seven at bats.

996
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: He's had seventeen strikeouts in those twenty seven at bats.

997
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: Something's wrong there, and I'm just not touching him. I'm

998
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: not touching him.

999
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: For whatever the ADP is.

1000
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: It was the discount of all discounts, maybe very very

1001
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: late in a draft, but that's not gonna happen. Somebody

1002
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: in your draft is probably gonna take Cody Bollinger a

1003
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: little earlier based on previous performance. But Welsh, I can't

1004
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: help but get around the seventeen strikeouts and twenty seven

1005
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 1: at pass, to me, that's a huge flag.

1006
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 3: What do you think the punchies he calls him. He said,

1007
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 3: He's like, that's what spring's for. You got to get

1008
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 3: the punchies out of the way. Yeah.

1009
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: Well, he's getting them all out of the way. He's

1010
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: not gonna have any left at this point.

1011
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 3: He is. I am a Cody Bellinger disciple. I kind

1012
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: of defend him a bit. I definitely am a little

1013
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 3: bit worried with how bad this spring is. But to

1014
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 3: the same point, good or bad, you don't want to

1015
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 3: buy everything in. But seeing the amount of strikeouts and

1016
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 3: some of the changes he's done is a little bit worrisome.

1017
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 3: I think there's just a lot of playing around that's

1018
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 3: going on. As well season comes. I think he's gonna

1019
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 3: stop screwing around. You know, he's gonna stop messing with

1020
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 3: his swing, and he's gonna get back to basics. The

1021
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 3: basics might be the problem. Though, here's what I'll say.

1022
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 3: I'm not with you. He has fallen. He actually has

1023
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 3: fallen a little bit because I think I was hyper aggressive.

1024
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 3: I will still draft him, but I like it now

1025
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 3: because he comes at a much cheaper cost because he

1026
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 3: was starting to rise up.

1027
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 2: There were some.

1028
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 3: Behind the scenes a couple people I've talked to that

1029
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 3: had some good things to say about some stuff that

1030
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger's did this past offseason that could help and

1031
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 3: could go to a breakout. It's not an application right

1032
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 3: now during the spring, but I am hoping that the

1033
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 3: punches are out of the way and I can take

1034
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 3: him a little bit later.

1035
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: Coming into this year, I feel like we had Yelich

1036
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: and Bellingers like Okay, some around like outfielder twenty five.

1037
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: You could take a shot on one of these guys.

1038
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm not taking the shot on Bellinger there, not even close.

1039
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean at this point, I'd rather be taking shots

1040
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: later and guys like Kirolov we talked about a lot

1041
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: more earlier this week on shows. All right, let's get

1042
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: to another guy on your list, Welsh, who you have?

1043
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just an easy I don't need to

1044
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 3: go crazy into it. It's kind of like your mccoulers.

1045
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 3: It's flerty flirty with the injury stuff. He's also kind

1046
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 3: of had some of those inconsistencies of a good month,

1047
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 3: bad month. He's coming into the season on an il stint.

1048
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 3: Do we really fully know the extent of of these injuries.

1049
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 3: You just moved way down and he's I'm less likely

1050
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 3: to draft him. I don't want to call him off

1051
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 3: my board, but I don't see a scenario where I

1052
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 3: draft him. So he's kind of plummeted down in the

1053
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: same mccullor's range.

1054
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair, And look, injuries are important, especially when

1055
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: it comes to the pitchers here that you have to

1056
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: knock them down. You can't always think everything's going to

1057
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: be rosy and you can't say, well, you know, hopefully

1058
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 1: you can get healthy. Because we've seen this already. It's

1059
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: your starting off at a deficit. You're already going to

1060
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: have to deal with injuries in season. If you're going

1061
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: to make investments, especially big investments on pictures who are

1062
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: very talented but are already hard to hurt to start

1063
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: the year, Excuse me, that's tough. I mean, I think

1064
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: you're already putting yourself behind the eight ball and it's

1065
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: not a place to be. Another guy for me that's

1066
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: falling down is Jared Kellnick, another one that I thought

1067
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: Spring was very important for seven strikeouts in the nine

1068
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: games and the twenty five played appearances, hitting just two

1069
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 1: hundred two thirty one obps. Take it, just one walk

1070
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: in those twenty five at bats. So part of the

1071
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: reason why I've been moving up Julio Rodriguez because I

1072
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: feel really confident about that guy and the tools that

1073
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 1: he brings. And I'm still waiting for Kellenick to click,

1074
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: and it just feels like he's one of these can't

1075
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: miss prospects. But we see this happen well sometimes where

1076
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: maybe something was lost in translation, maybe that first run

1077
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: of the Major League is really hurt his confidence, or

1078
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Jared Kellenick, but

1079
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 1: if you look at the track record in the minor leagues,

1080
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: was this a very solid player. A lot of people

1081
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: felt a very polished player that would actually transition to

1082
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: the major leagues quite easily, and everybody was wrong about that.

1083
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: And until he shows it to me, I'm knocking him

1084
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: down significantly in my rankings. I just can't get there.

1085
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: I can't do it. To me. There's a lot of

1086
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: guys in the outfield that are suspect as you get deeper,

1087
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: and if I'm gonna take somebody's suspect, I'm gonna take

1088
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: somebody that's got more of a track record I'm gonna

1089
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: try to take right now. I mean, you got guys

1090
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: like Horay Solaier, Adam Duval, Jared Kellenick. They're kind of

1091
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: in that same range. I gotta be honest with you.

1092
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: I'll take some of the boppers that I know are

1093
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna crush batting average, but they're also gonna crush dingers.

1094
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what Kellenick's gonna crush set by batting average,

1095
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: and I know they're committed to him, and I think

1096
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: that's great. But there's even guys like Tommy fam and

1097
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Bennan Tendi where I kind of feel like they

1098
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: might be safer than kell Nick. He re draft leagues

1099
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: right now, Welsh, what do you think.

1100
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 3: I'm huge on Andrew ben and Tendi this year? Yeah,

1101
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 3: I don't reach for Jared kell Nick. Some players have

1102
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 3: to learn adversity. I think Joey Dell was experiencing that.

1103
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 3: I don't think there was a lot of, you know,

1104
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 3: baseball adversity he was dealing with. Jared Kelnick. No baseball adversity.

1105
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 3: You know, he dominated at every level. The biggest adversity

1106
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 3: he faced was being traded to the Mariners, and these

1107
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 3: guys haven't experienced a whole lot of failure. And then

1108
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 3: you get to the highest competitive level where they're being

1109
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 3: challenged where they weren't being challenged before, and you're seeing major, major,

1110
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,479
Speaker 3: major struggles. Some players don't need it. You know, we've

1111
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 3: Wanda Franco, doesn't. You know, like failure is not an option.

1112
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 3: You know, that's not something that is in his game

1113
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 3: plan of how he plays the game. Some guys do.

1114
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 3: And I think you're gonna and that's gonna be the

1115
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 3: true testament. But you know, why pay up right now

1116
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,760
Speaker 3: for the opportunity for him to get it fixed. Spring

1117
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: looks okay, he still looks a little bit beat. Julio

1118
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 3: looks better than him right now. So I don't disagree

1119
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 3: with you. I still believe in Kelnick, but he's not

1120
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 3: a draft target for me. I don't think I've moved

1121
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 3: him down a ton, but I really just don't prioritize

1122
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 3: drafting him.

1123
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 1: I have him, I've got him right now in the

1124
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: low seventies ish range. Like if Michael Confordo doesn't have

1125
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: a team the Minnick Michael Conforto signs, I would take

1126
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: him over Jared Kelnick. Here's a question for you. These

1127
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 1: guys have clumped together, Cavin Bizio, Jared Kellnick, Andrew Vaughn.

1128
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: Who would you rather have those three if you had

1129
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: the draft one?

1130
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 3: Oh? Kel Nick? Hands down?

1131
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: Okay, so still Kellenick for you. All Right, Well, let's

1132
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: just get another guy on your list. Who you got?

1133
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 3: Well, this is gonna be an interesting one. I don't

1134
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 3: know if you saw my notes I put up here.

1135
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 3: I don't have a third one. I gotta tell you

1136
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 3: because of a trade that just went down, a huge

1137
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 3: trade which has massive implications. And it was the guy

1138
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 3: that I had on this list. I had Craig Kimberl.

1139
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 3: I watched Kimberl pitch the other day against the Los

1140
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers. It was Walker Bueller. Kimberl didn't really look fantastic.

1141
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 3: I gotta admit to you. He didn't looked great. The

1142
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 3: White Sox kept talking about keeping him. They had not

1143
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 3: moved him. I didn't feel good about anything happening with

1144
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 3: Craig Kimberl, and I put him on this list. And

1145
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 3: then as we were recording this show, Craig Kimberl traded

1146
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 3: to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Aj Pollock. It's a

1147
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 3: massive move. So I'm cheating because he's not on the

1148
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 3: list now because that was the guy, and he jumps

1149
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 3: into that closer role. Blake Trinon is now the guy

1150
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 3: that is, So that's my pick. Blake Trinon is the

1151
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 3: guy because he's no longer the closer. He likes to

1152
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 3: even be that high leverage guy. Kimberl's the closer with

1153
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 3: the Dodgers skyrockets up and Blake Trinon moves down. Also

1154
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 3: an uptick to Gavin lux who I think might be

1155
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 3: able to take some of this playing time for Aj Pollock.

1156
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 3: So lucks up, Kimber up, Trynon down. That's my pick

1157
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 3: because I literally had to that.

1158
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: Thanks for all those people who took Trent in early,

1159
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 1: especially after you felt if you took him really early

1160
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 1: before the Kenley Jansen move, you felt like a million bucks,

1161
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: like I'm a genius. Only six days before the season

1162
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: to have this happen, that's just that's crushing. All right.

1163
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: I've got one more on my list, is yours kind

1164
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: of got stolen from underneath you? Why don't you take

1165
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: another one here?

1166
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, my last one on my list is Kamilla

1167
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 3: Daval kind of in the same range. He's a guy

1168
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 3: that's moved down. He actually could still be really interesting

1169
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 3: to draft, I would say, because I think he will.

1170
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 3: Bogmin's even said he thinks Camilla will lead the team

1171
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 3: in saves, and I believe it, but people are still

1172
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: drafting him pretty high. I always got on Bogman's case

1173
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 3: about doing it because there were no guarantees. They've said

1174
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 3: Jake McGee is the current closer. So from the perspective

1175
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 3: of falling down list, Kamille Deval has moved pretty far down. Kapler,

1176
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 3: you know, is he going to give away that job early,

1177
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 3: especially to a young guy, doesn't seem likely. I think

1178
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 3: McGee is going to get the opportunity for quite some

1179
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 3: time here. So Kmilla Daval was another guy that over

1180
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 3: spring has moved down.

1181
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: Well, she's gonna hate me for this last one. It's

1182
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker. I just think last year was a one

1183
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: year wonder I do. He's always been a good contact

1184
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: hitter in the minor leagues, never had a lot of power.

1185
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: But to me, it's it's not even the Spring performance,

1186
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: which if you want, I could give it to you.

1187
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: You want to hear the spring performance twenty two ap

1188
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: bats point zero four or five batting average. Okay, he's

1189
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: not hitting anything right now, showing no power right and

1190
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: on top of which, he's moving now to the Seattle

1191
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: Ballpark away from Cincinnati. I just don't like this move.

1192
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 1: I think people are overrating him based on the fact

1193
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 1: that someone traded for him. He's a nice baseball player.

1194
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, if the power regresses and he

1195
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: doesn't have that same kind of run, he had a

1196
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: magnificent month of baseball last year and that power was fantastic,

1197
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: And I agree. I was in that train, going Okay,

1198
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: maybe Jesse Winker has turned this corner, and if he's

1199
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: going to turn it, Cincinnai's a hell of a place

1200
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: to sustain it. I'm just concerned that he can't sustain it.

1201
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: If he was crushing the ball this spring, maybe I

1202
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: would feel a little bit more comfortable arm and Fuzzy

1203
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: and my Tom Tom about it. But I don't, I don't,

1204
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: and I don't like this point zero four to five

1205
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: batting average and spring spring can get overrated. Well, you

1206
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: couple that with a move from a great power hitting

1207
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: ballpark to it not as great power hitting ballpark, not

1208
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: saying you can't hit them runs there. But Winker's been

1209
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: more of a contact guy than a power guy in

1210
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: his career either. Sometimes I left you right, he splits

1211
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 1: two against pitchers have been less than thrilling with Winker

1212
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: and his career. Also, I think there's a lot more

1213
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: risk than people realize. So that's where I am.

1214
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 3: And the only thing I don't like about it is

1215
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: where people are giving Brian Reynolds the pass if he's

1216
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 3: the funnest, coolest guy to draft on the planet.

1217
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 1: He is.

1218
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 3: They're the same player, Jesse Winkers are the exact same player,

1219
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 3: and right now, Jessin Winker plays on an exponentially better

1220
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 3: offensive team if you get now, if Reynolds gets straighted

1221
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 3: to the padres, that's maybe a little different story. But

1222
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 3: I just feel like there's they're the exact same guy,

1223
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 3: and everyone loves Reynolds and now everybody hates Winker. So

1224
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 3: I just don't I don't buy it.

1225
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: This is good. Debate is good, difference of opinion good.

1226
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: We shall see how this one ends up at the

1227
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: end of the day. But he is Team Winker. I

1228
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: am not. Now, we promise you at the beginning of

1229
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: the show, a few little draft tips here to close

1230
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: things out as we're heading into the final draft season

1231
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: where we're giving you all the tools here fantasy pros

1232
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: to be successful. We're giving you all the podcasts, all

1233
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: the YouTube stuff, all the knowledge we have, our our

1234
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: own little cheat sheets and our draft strategy guides. That

1235
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: Welsh put out that I put out, Bachmann put one

1236
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: out to. I think Cleig put one out there. I

1237
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: want to say, Mayor probably put one out there also.

1238
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: They probably let Yeah, they probably let Mayor they mayor.

1239
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 2: Go do something.

1240
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: That's what they say. Ryan on that list, Ryan Mountcastle,

1241
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's round one, Ryan Mountcastle, Round two. Uh,

1242
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: Ryan Moultcastle, Round three, round four, Ryan Mountcastle. Right.

1243
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1244
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: But here's some other tips that won't want to give you.

1245
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: And the first one is draft good assets.

1246
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 2: And what I mean.

1247
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: By this is, well, that sounds really stupid, but I

1248
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: think people get too hung up on trying to fill

1249
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: out their team instead of drafting core roster strength. If

1250
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: the outfield market comes to you, hammer that outfield market,

1251
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: If the pitching market comes to you, hammer that pitching market.

1252
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: Whatever the value is in the draft. Over the course

1253
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: of the year. You can make trades, you can make

1254
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: waiver pickups. There's going to be movement in the league.

1255
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: Use your draft, especially salary cap driven drafts, to acquire

1256
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: good assets, because the more talent you have on your roster,

1257
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: the better your roster is going to be, and the

1258
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: better it will be over the long run as other

1259
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: things inevitably do happen, like injuries or miss time. I

1260
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: know they've changed the rules a little bit this year too,

1261
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: so the pitchers have to go in the IL for

1262
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: fifteen days, position players ten, which is good because now

1263
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: you're not going to that manipulation anymore that you had

1264
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: in the system in the last few years. But I'm

1265
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: telling you right now, we know the inevitability is going

1266
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: to happen. We're're going to lose players. Get as much

1267
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: talent as you can on your roster. That's what your

1268
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: draft is for. You'll fill out your team. Don't worry

1269
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: about it. It'll all work out in the end. Draft assets,

1270
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: especially in dynasty keeper leagues. Don't get hung up on

1271
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: positions so much or filling out your team. There's ways

1272
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 1: to get that done. Give me one of your draft.

1273
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 3: Well, I just want to add in I'm going to

1274
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 3: jump to my second one because I didn't read how

1275
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 3: you wrote yours. How you just said it. It's literally

1276
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 3: the same thing how I wrote mine was don't stress

1277
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 3: about positions early where people are like, ooh, I already

1278
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 3: got a short stop. I mean, you just said everything,

1279
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 3: so I don't need to repeat it. But that was

1280
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 3: my take as well, is don't worry about going nuts

1281
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 3: about roster construction and getting the best players. Plenty of

1282
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 3: great players might take two short stops in the first

1283
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 3: four rounds. You can make it work with middle and shortstop.

1284
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 2: You can do or even utility.

1285
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: If you've got great players on the board, take the

1286
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: great players.

1287
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 2: This is RPV. One on one.

1288
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: Create an advantage somewhere. Otherwise you're just a mediocre team

1289
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: in the middle.

1290
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I'm gonna move to the second one because

1291
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 3: I agree with that one of and it's kind of

1292
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 3: in line with even your second one as well. But

1293
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 3: it's take closers with actual jobs. Like there's a theory

1294
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 3: across the board, and you're going to kind of talk

1295
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 3: about it how you can treat closers. But at the

1296
00:56:58,600 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 3: end of the day, this is just a way of

1297
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 3: me saying get your closers early that you know have gigs.

1298
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 3: You can speculate and people will win. There will be

1299
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 3: winners early in drafts or in April and in waivers

1300
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 3: on guys that get some closer gigs and that you

1301
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 3: made it out of it. But you don't have to

1302
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 3: play the game. If you get involved and you get

1303
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 3: class as, or you get Haters or Hendrix or Iglesias

1304
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 3: or Craig Kimberl's, you get those guys, be the one

1305
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 3: that doesn't have to chase and doesn't have volatility and

1306
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 3: loses their gigs. Your roster construction will feel better and

1307
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 3: you won't have to chase those saves later, which again,

1308
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 3: some people can make it work. If you've got a

1309
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 3: plan and maybe you're gonna go really heavy starting pitching

1310
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 3: and you're gonna just go for cheap guys, you can

1311
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 3: do that. That's a solid pivot. But I prefer to get,

1312
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 3: especially in Rode, to get my lockdown saves guys this

1313
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: year that have gigs without question marks. So I'm not

1314
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 3: playing around this year and I'm getting the top closers.

1315
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: I was just in my head, all I kept thinking

1316
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: was take the card jobs mark. Yeah, they took our jobs.

1317
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: For me, it's don't overpay for mid tier closers, whether

1318
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: they have job security or not. You can find a

1319
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: guy laid on a bad team, maybe it's a Gregory

1320
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: Soto or somebody else later saves or saves at the

1321
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: end of the day. Yeah, some of the ratios blah

1322
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,439
Speaker 1: blah blah, saves or saves, and those jobs are gonna

1323
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: turn over. They do every year. Don't pass on good

1324
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: quality depth in that mid like one fifty ish range

1325
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: for guys who may or may not be closers. It's

1326
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: absolute fantasy death. And my last one here for me

1327
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: is attack that one a slash high end SP two

1328
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: market this year. To me, that is a very profitable

1329
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: place to attack. It's that Freddie Peralta Giolito all the

1330
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: way down to you know, the older guys like Verlander

1331
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: and Charlie Morton. To me, it's okay to start your

1332
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: roster with two offensive players, even in a points league,

1333
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: and then just hammer this pitching market after that. Trevor Rodgers,

1334
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna make a huge step forward. There's

1335
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: a lot lot of guys in this tier that I

1336
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,919
Speaker 1: think have huge upside to perform, like aces this year.

1337
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: So that's just more of a not a general strategy,

1338
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: it's specific for twenty twenty twenty two. Welsh, what's your

1339
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: last draft tip for everybody's we send them off into

1340
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: the weekend.

1341
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna be adults. We're gonna send you off

1342
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 3: to college and you're gonna draft and you're gonna be

1343
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 3: all growns up. It's all growns up.

1344
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: Mikey's growns all growns up, and Welsh and I are

1345
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: gonna cry and have empty nest syndrome because we're so

1346
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: proud of you. I so far you've come.

1347
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 3: Pay attention to steals. I'm not saying overpay, and I'm

1348
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 3: not saying don't overpay. I'm saying, pay attention to steals.

1349
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 3: Watch it as it goes along in the draft. Pay

1350
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 3: attention to the people that are doing it. You can

1351
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 3: get steals all over. I tend to. Here's a nice

1352
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 3: thing about the top round guys. A lot of them steal,

1353
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 3: and I kind of want those guys because they're consistent.

1354
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 3: There's some middle guys that are gonna get you stolen bases.

1355
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 3: Frankie Lindor pay attention later in drafts. Do you have

1356
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 3: to overreach for Miles Straw. No you don't, but pay

1357
00:59:55,960 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 3: attention Andrew Benintendi, Ahmed Rosario, there's late stone and Basis,

1358
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 3: Josh Rojas, even Aj Pollock steals. There are late stolen bases.

1359
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 3: If you get one or two core guys, you can

1360
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 3: easily find three to four other ten plus stolen base

1361
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 3: guys as you move along in the draft. So pay

1362
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 3: attention to steals without going one direction or the other.

1363
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 3: And I think it's going to help you out.

1364
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: All right, So we've given you all. Wee can the
