0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>The ups and downs of spring. Let's talk to the pros.

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros.

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. It is me, Joey P.

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Joe P's Apia with me as always as the Welsh,

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's you and today we're going to talk about

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the same old thing we talked about all last year,

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Jacob de Gram's injury. Oh my goodness, are we back

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>again where we started? Let's hope not. But we're also

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>going to talk a lot more about the good things

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>in spring, the risers in our rankings from what we've

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>seen so far from spring performances, and of course wherever

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>there's risers, there's fallers as well, So we'll be going

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>through some of the guys that maybe had not so

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>good springs, maybe some injury concerns or some other issues

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>have crept up that we've dropped in our rankings. And

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>since we know this is the biggest weekend of MLB drafting,

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>there is to give you a couple of quick little

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>tips at the end to make you smarter, because that's

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>what the Welsh and I do. Welsh, as we were

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>talking before the show, we're getting closer and closer to

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>actual baseball. We're less than a week away now, and

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting very excited for the start of the season,

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 1>how about you.

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 3>I was until I got sick and then Jacob de

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.279
<v Speaker 3>Grom got hurt. So if there's two constants in the world,

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 3>is me going down right before all of the big

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.119
<v Speaker 3>stuff happens and Jacob de gram hurting his arm again,

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 3>ruining my draft shares and all that stuff. But no,

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I am excited. I have a different perspective than a

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 3>lot of you guys because of spring training. You know,

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 3>like I've been inundated with baseball in person for you know,

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 3>a month, getting to see games, getting to be around players,

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 3>getting to watch practices, getting to see the little things

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 3>on where guys are going, the players that aren't coming out,

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 3>all that type of stuff. So my perspective is a

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 3>little bit different. But of course getting into games that

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>like really count gonna be pretty exciting.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>No, absolutely, And before we start to break down all

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>those players, I want to remind everybody if you got

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.840

<v Speaker 1>can tell you when a player might last an extra

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>round if you reached on a player. Basically what you've

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>seen from the Draft Wizard as we've been doing shows

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.880

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of it. Like I do a lot of

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>American history.

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, you can't do that.

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Two notes. I wanted to because you busted through like

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 3>a ton of stuff there, so it was like I

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 3>was waiting to try to like crevice my way in

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 3>Two things. I just released the my draft cheat sheet

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 3>that's available, the articles that honestly pro that's part of

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 3>the Yeah, but yours was last week. Mine's there if

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 3>people want to check that out as a solo article

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 3>or part of the draft kit. And also we were

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 3>doing a mock draft on in this league, our final one.

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, we do these mock drafts through January. It's wild.

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 3>They're a completely different experience than what we do here.

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 3>And it was our final one and one of the

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 3>guys in there, one of our army members on our

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 3>on our in this league patrio, we have he Uh,

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 3>he's a great fantasy guy. And we started to notice

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 3>because he'd done a couple of mock drafts. We're like,

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 3>he's projecting out great every single time, and he is

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 3>a staunch Fantasy pros guy. And this last one we

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 3>finally were like, wait a minute, this is fishy. He

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>would we didn't. We haven't gotten to the controversy. We're

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 3>one hundred confident that he was using the Draft Wizard

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 3>against us in it, because he got a perfect one

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 3>hundred in the mock draft and did in the final

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 3>one projected out number one, and we were like, the

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 3>hell's going on here? And it's happened in two straight

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 3>mock drafts.

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I can guarantee you he's using the Draft Assistant.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>No, we know he was.

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 3>He's a Fantasy pros like hardcore guy, so we know it.

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh telling you, I mean, we're not selling stuff here.

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to win you stuff. There's a big difference. Okay,

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>we're part of this together, all the peanuts and cracker jacks,

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>not the crackers and the peanut jacks.

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who those are.

0:05:53.279 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Jacks, Damn peanut jacks. Man. I love you know. I'm

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 1>so hungry lake snails. Hungry after that bad start. Yes,

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's start with the headlines. And of course

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I woke up and it's you know, I'm old, so

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I fall asleep at like ten o'clock and I woke

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>up this morning.

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 2>And it's it's April Fool's Day.

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>And I see the Jacob de Gram tweets and I'm like,

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a ha ha, okay, but no, it's real. He's going

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>for an MRI on his shoulder. He's got some tightness.

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Now this could very well be soreness tightness, and you're

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you're just kind of the normal thing that happens to

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>pictures that they ramp up. But because it's Jacob Degram,

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>there's hyperventilating going on, and rightfully so, because of everything

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 1>we saw last year when he's on the mound Welsh,

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:40.919
<v Speaker 1>he is the best there is.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's just it's it's not even like to

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>say he's.

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>The best is not fair to the word the best,

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 1>because he is so dominant, he's so incredible. Even it's

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, you know, when he had Derrick Henry

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>who got hurt last year and he was still like

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>RB ten or whatever by the end of the season

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>because he was so good With de Gram, he had

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>a one eight ERA last year, a point five whip,

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>which is just nuts over ninety two innings. Check out

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and forty six guys walk just eleven. I mean,

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>it's absurd, it's disgusting how good he is so well

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>going into this weekend. Now, what do you do with

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>de Gram? How do you approach him from a draft standpoint?

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Now that we have this latest news where things are

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit up in the air.

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Here's the benefit to it? Because I it's a little

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 3>tough for me because I've been a staunched a Gram guy.

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 3>I tend to do this. I recognize it, and I

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 3>think people that listen to me recognize it. These guys

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 3>that are incredible talents that might have an injury tag

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 3>around them, I don't like to ding them to the

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>level of even like what was happening with Da Grom.

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 3>You know where people are like, listen, you can't take

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 3>maybe in the fourth round, but you can't take Da

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Grom in the top five pitchers. Blah blah blah. And

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 3>then as soon as I called it, it was one of

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 3>those things I absolutely called. I said, watch what happens

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 3>when you start seeing him pitch. He's gonna go back

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 3>up to being the top pitcher. He went two I

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 3>think overall in a main event on NFBC this past weekend.

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 3>So you know, the blinders come on, you should recognize it.

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 3>But my fault is I don't ding him for these

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 3>type of things because he is so insanely, insanely dominant.

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 3>And I mean, how many times do you see, you know,

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 3>projected pictures to have two and a half eras in

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 3>projections you don't because projections follow the x FIP in

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 3>a lot of those factors. He's just he is the

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 3>best picture when he's out there. So to the question

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 3>what do you do, here's a benefit MRI is happening

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 3>here on Friday. You should know what you're getting into

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 3>on Saturday. For the most part, the likely scenario is

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 3>it's nothing serious. He does not pitch his scheduled start

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.439
<v Speaker 3>on Saturday, and then they just line him up for

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 3>the season and no DL I el stint and then

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 3>that's the best case scenario, and I think you move

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 3>forward with what you were doing. I was never taking

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 3>de Groam fifth or six overall of all players I loved.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 3>I loved to Grom before everybody else loved to Grom,

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 3>and it was popular this year in the second round.

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 3>That's where I really liked him. There a risk in

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 3>the first. I don't like taking pictures in the first

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 3>unless it's a points league in general. So nothing has

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 3>changed for me. Everybody else has changed from maybe I'll

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 3>take him in the late third to taking him fifth overall,

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I still stand where I stand now. If it's something

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 3>where you know there's a slight tear and blah blah blah,

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, move him down, move him off the board.

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 3>To be frank, If it's something that he's going to

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 3>miss a month, he is going to plump. I mean

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 3>to the point of not even drafting at that point,

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 3>like maybe really late post one hundred. But best case scenario,

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 3>we have answers on Friday following the MRI, we move

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.839
<v Speaker 3>forward and maybe just don't take him in the first.

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Take him after cold, take him after burns, take him

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 3>in the second like I was always doing.

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>It's very frustrating though, because this is a guy we

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>want to take it in the top five picture. But

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance by the time we get to this

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>weekend's drafts that he's more in the Chris Sale, Lance

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.080
<v Speaker 1>mccullor's Jack Flaherty bucket than he is in the top

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>five Pitture bucket.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's just a fact.

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>And you just mentioned what if he does miss three months,

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>what if he misses the whole season?

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 2>You have to weigh that. And I always say this

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to everybody because.

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.199
<v Speaker 3>He had the end I mean interview, but he had

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 3>like the elbow or the elbow inflammation I think it was,

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 3>and then he also had the UCL stuff last year.

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 3>So the absolute fear is any of this is tied

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.839
<v Speaker 3>to that, and this is going to remind people back

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 3>on the injury.

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely, yeah.

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 3>So God.

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the point I make to everybody is this,

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 1>if you're in a league where you have a heavy

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>financial investment, I'm just not taking the risk.

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing it. There's other approaches.

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Why put yourself in a deficit, and it's heartbreaking because

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I know what the upside is. But if you're in

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>a fun league, if you're at a casual league, yeah,

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>this is a great way to have some fun and

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:43.719
<v Speaker 1>take a chance if you get a discount, and I

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>assume you're gonna get a discount. If he was a

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>pitcher going consistently in the second round, I would think,

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>no matter what the MRI tells you, even if it's

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 1>positive he's gonna at least take a two round hit,

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna go in the fourth round or something like

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that would be my guess for most casual leagues, or even.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Unless you pitch his saturdy, if he goes back and

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 3>he's on his normal schedule and.

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not that'd be really hard sale for me. I

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know about that.

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 3>You think I'm just saying, well, that's his scheduled start.

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 3>If you were to go and pitch just hypothetical, I

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 3>think he's no longer a for sure first rounder. He's

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 3>somewhere in the second, you know, maybe late second. Maybe

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 3>you get a little bit of a discount on him.

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 3>If we go back to a regular scheduling program like

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.319
<v Speaker 3>that's where that would go. But I don't know if

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 3>that's going to be the case.

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.839
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get back to our regularly scheduled topic here,

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 1>which is spring, risers and fallers and Welsh what's start

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>with you? Who's a guy that's rising up your board

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>after spring is now sprung?

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Now this will be a funny one because as a

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 3>prospect person, you guys know that, especially this specific person

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I've talked a whole lot about. But I have to

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 3>admit I would chastise people in January for taking this

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 3>guy so high because I didn't see the path. And

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 3>then you had MLB's agreement on CBA come out and

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 3>they have some incentives prospects to make the roster. Okay,

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 3>that's a little bit better. Still didn't see the path.

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 3>This team then made a move to trade for a

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 3>positional player that this guy would be there. I still

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.679
<v Speaker 3>didn't see the path. Then I saw this guy in

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 3>games and saw how the team was treating him on

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 3>the backfields, and Julio Rodriguez had to skyrocket back up

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 3>the boards. He wasn't a guy I was drafting early on.

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.559
<v Speaker 3>And because I mean honestly, the team has babied him.

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 3>You know that there's been a breaking ball kind of thing.

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 3>He gets a little bit wild, which he showed in

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 3>a couple of days ago, where you know, he's young guy,

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 3>base path, running defense. Sometimes I can get just a

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 3>little bit wild, and I didn't see the need for

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 3>the team to want to press him. But you now

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 3>go out you see how he had some adversity. I

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 3>think it was on Wednesday, and then Thursday he comes

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 3>out and he has an inside the park homer. He's walking,

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 3>He's two for two. He's a team leader. I've been

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 3>on the backfields of the Mariners about four times over

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 3>the last like two and a half weeks. He is

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 3>consistently working with Kelnick, consistently working with Winker. He's with

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 3>the majors at every point. He's most physically imposing guy.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.439
<v Speaker 3>He's one of the best players that is out there

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 3>consistently offensively, and it's hard to deny. I don't think

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 3>the Mariners necessarily are doing it for the extra compensation,

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 3>but when you get into that two hundred range, it

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 3>is worth taking the risk and the shot. On Julio Rodriguez,

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 3>it looks like he can make the opening day roster.

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't see what they're going to put him down

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 3>for Kyle Lewis is hurt. Taylor Tremmell has not been playing,

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 3>by the way, even healthy, he's all good, they're not

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 3>playing him in competitive games. I think he's a fourth outfielder.

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.200
<v Speaker 3>I think Kohlio makes the roster. He has skyrocketed up

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 3>the boards. I don't think I'll be the top guy

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 3>on Fantasy pros, but I pushed him up very close

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 3>into the two hundred range, and he's one of the

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 3>top prospects you should draft, even though there's no guarantees

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 3>on him. Do it now, because if they were to

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 3>announce let's say today and Friday, coming into the weekend.

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:00.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know when you guys are listening to this,

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 3>but let's just say hypothetically, Scott Service comes out and says,

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Julio Rodriguez has made the roster and he'll be batting

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 3>six for the Mariners this season. I'm not joking you.

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Julio might go right around one hundred overall. I'm serious.

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I really think he well, I've got him as a

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>top fifty outfielder already.

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think he can get in that range. So

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 3>that's why you should reach. You should go. And he

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 3>has skyrocket up my board, and Spring has done him

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 3>fantastic favors where most you know, most of these guys,

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't really do that right.

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's the other thing too. We always talk about

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 1>how certain players Spring matters more than others. Other players

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>they can, it doesn't matter. They can have good springs

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and bad springs.

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 2>You know who they are.

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>But to look at the ten games he's had this spring,

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>two on the run, six RBI, nine strikeouts, but he's

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>got three walks, three stone bases, hitting three sixty with

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 1>a four to twenty nine OVP and the seven to

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty slugging. So the ops is eleven forty nine. So

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Rodriguez right now, I'm with you. In fact, I'm good

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 1>with being aggressive on him. And if you have a

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 1>draft Friday, as we're saying Saturday, when that news changes,

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 1>if it does change, If it does, it's gonna be

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>even worse in terms of price tag you're gonna have

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 1>to pay for him. I wouldn't take over in a redraft.

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not taking him over Jared Walsh yet. I'm not

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>taking him over Hunter Renfro yet. But right around where

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you got to start to have that Jesse Winker say

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>as a Zuki kind of conversation. That's where I'm starting

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to wonder do I want the upside? And I think

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a fair conversation.

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 3>You and I are a little different on that. I

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 3>just want to point out Winkers which one far higher.

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you put Winker in the saales Zu I

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 3>do not. I do not remotely put those two in

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 3>the same range. But I just want to point out

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 3>in our last mock draft, I think Julio went about

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 3>one seventy five, so I think between I think when

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 3>one fifty hits, you need to start getting on your business.

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 3>You need to start considering if he's a guy I

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 3>think around for do Go, I think around Carlson. Suzuki

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 3>is a great example a Doulus Garcia. That's where you

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 3>need to start considering if you want to be aggressive

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 3>on him. Rookies are a little bit dangerous, but regardless,

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 3>this could be I mean, Julio's running now, so he

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 3>might steal fifteen if he plays all year, and he

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 3>legit could hit thirty strikeouts. Though you got to watch,

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 3>and that's always been the thing I got right. I

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 3>don't know if they bring.

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Him up well in Roto.

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the power speed combination is tantalizing enough in

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>points league's different story, so I think.

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>That's also with the caveat all. Right, let's go to

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 2>my guy.

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>First on my list is Tore Scooble, who's had a

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>wonderful spring so far. If you look at what he's

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 1>done so far over the three game starts, eight two

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>thirds innings, thirteen strikeouts, just three walks, just a one

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 1>point two six whip. People have been waiting on kind

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 1>of in this grouping of the Mannings and the Mises

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and miss pitched very well also. But I think with Scooble,

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>what you've seen so far is he's gotten hit around

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the ballpark a little bit, and that's the thing that

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to try to cut back a little bit.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Home runs last year a big problem too. Gave up

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty five of them. That's going to be way too

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 1>many to have success. But I think if you look

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 1>at what he's doing now, this is very encouraging because

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 1>it's twenty five years old this year. This is where

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to see him after you know he's had

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>about what thirty five starts or so in the big leagues.

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 1>This is where I think you want to look and

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>take that step forwards, like, okay, you got your feet wet,

0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Now what's your confidence level?

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 2>And I think when you're.

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Looking at Schooble, this is one of those pictures we

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.360
<v Speaker 1>always talk about, you know, good pictures on bad teams. Yeah,

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 1>they probably can help you with wins, but if they

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.360
<v Speaker 1>can help you with quality start leagues, keep an eye

0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 1>on them. And if they're efficient, that's important, and if

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 1>they can help you strikeouts and school might be able

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to do a lot of those things. So although he

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 1>might not get you w's when you're looking at guys

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 1>who are undervalued right now, I think he's one of

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>those guys. So Schooble for me, is one to keep

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.959
<v Speaker 1>an eye on. Any I've moved him up my board too.

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not saying that he's, you know, a

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>number three starter by any stretcher that means, but I

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>think he is in that conversation now, in that top

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 1>sixty ish range to at least consider what do you think?

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, people forget too. There was a period

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.399
<v Speaker 3>of time where people started to like Scooble over Casey Miz,

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.199
<v Speaker 3>you know, in Casey Miss with the big Splitter, you know,

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 3>has always been unique, but Scooble has been, you know,

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 3>a big two punch type of guy, big fastball, just

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.640
<v Speaker 3>needed to get right. And I think both of these

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 3>guys it's the you know, Matt Manning throwing in there

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 3>is also really interesting because at one time he was

0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:58.919
<v Speaker 3>seen as a top guy, and I think he's kind

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 3>of moved below those three. I think it's been very,

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 3>very encouraging. He was a really intriguing strikeout guy on

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.119
<v Speaker 3>the back end of this last year. And what's weird

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:12.359
<v Speaker 3>is myz doesn't have like this, and I say secondaries

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.919
<v Speaker 3>outside of the splitter, he doesn't have overpowering secondaries of that.

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:21.159
<v Speaker 3>Matt Manning hasn't really proved to be consistent. Scooble probably

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.879
<v Speaker 3>is the best strikeout guy here. And you know, probably

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the day when we're just trying

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 3>to piece together a couple of these categories, if you

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 3>can get strikeouts cheap late, this might be a nine

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 3>and a half, maybe even higher K per nine type

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.880
<v Speaker 3>of guy. Detroit's got a few more pieces in there,

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 3>especially if they let Torque and Riley Green break camp

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.640
<v Speaker 3>and they've got Hobby Bison, they might sneak a couple

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.160
<v Speaker 3>more wins. I wouldn't be surprised to see to Scoogble

0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 3>pick up a few more wins as well and be

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 3>more of an asset. So I like that pick.

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a quick break in the action to tell

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.200

<v Speaker 1>dot Com slash Fantasy Pros and now back to the action.

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to another one of your risers

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:42.920
<v Speaker 1>this spring. Well, she was on your list.

0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 3>Now that's a big name guy, and this is probably

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 3>a pretty obvious one, but I soured quite a bit

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 3>coming into this year on Chris Bryant, who I've always loved,

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, really poorous year didn't really seem to have

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 3>a proper home. You know, the Giants were a question

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 3>where was he gonna play? But I can't deny going

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 3>to Colorado absolutely changed everything. It's almost like the dumb

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 3>and dumber thing, like absolutely, you know, just when I

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 3>had him, God, man, I had him around, I think.

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Totally redeemed himself. Yeah that's that, yeah line you're.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Looking for, totally redeemed yourself. He was around the nineties.

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I was legit thinking between Anthony Rendon and

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Chris Bryant. The move to Colorado in the extra the

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.919
<v Speaker 3>extra love that you're gonna get with kind of a

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 3>crappy position in general, I'm not the biggest Alex bregnant guy.

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Otto's fine, but the upside on Bryant to regain

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 3>that MVP quality in the most hit or friendly place,

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.680
<v Speaker 3>even though they all have humidors now, which is interesting.

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 3>He flew up my board and I haven't gotten into

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 3>this territory where people are taking him around twenty five

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 3>thirty overall, which is bonkers on that bed especially.

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I think they do it for the position flexibility, which

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:00.879
<v Speaker 1>is in the mack we do. A couple weeks ago.

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I did that, and I love the fact that the

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 1>draft then came to me and I could go BPA

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>for three rounds after and just keep moving him around

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the diamond. That's a huge That is worth a little

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of a premium to me. I don't want to

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 1>overstate it, but the deeper the format you play, the

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>more that becomes a huge asset because less the draft

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 1>than filter to you, and you could keep taking the

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 1>best talent.

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Just move.

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna move to first, move to third, can

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:25.640
<v Speaker 1>move now for like a move all over.

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:30.159
<v Speaker 3>I agree, but I think it's more the Colorado. It

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 3>just put a hit.

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 2>It helps him thirty homers in.

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Colorado who's had like Cody Bellinger. Everybody's off on Cody

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Bellinger right now. Everybody is kind of fading him. It's

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 3>actually not a guy will probably talk about here in

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:47.360
<v Speaker 3>a little bit, But imagine Cody Bellinger coming off these

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 3>bad years and then going into Colorado. What people would do,

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 3>you would forget. So it's kind of the same thing

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 3>as Chris Bryant. Chris Bryant has proven to be a

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 3>better hitter, So I agree, position flexibility is great, third

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:01.120
<v Speaker 3>base sucks, and put a you know, big bopping hitter

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 3>in Colorado. All those factors came in. But from a

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 3>rising perspective, that's it for me. He's really moved up. Plus,

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:09.919
<v Speaker 3>I think this team can be aggressive on the base paths,

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:13.119
<v Speaker 3>which might be good for players in front for RBI opportunities.

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:16.199
<v Speaker 3>It's not a there's obviously, the Dodgers are incredible. The

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Padres are fine, though they're little wonky and their staff,

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:21.160
<v Speaker 3>but you know, you get to play Arizona, you get

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:23.679
<v Speaker 3>to play in Colorado. So he has really moved up

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 3>into that you know, top fifty range. I don't really

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 3>love it inside the top twenty five, but anywhere between

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 3>thirty and fifty if you want to jump on it,

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm good with it. And he has rocketed up my board.

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:36.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'll give you another big name on my

0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:39.399
<v Speaker 1>list too, since we're doing the big names here and

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>it's Francisco Lindor.

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Who is I know, you know, he's had good springs

0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 2>in the past.

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I get that. I understand that that's that's good, that's

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>a positive thing. But after last year, it was such

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 1>a bad taste in everyone's mouth, and we saw the

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.520
<v Speaker 1>typical guy signs a big contract in a new place,

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 1>especially a big market, struggles out of the gate, gets

0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:59.200
<v Speaker 1>into some media tussle, especially New York.

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:00.400
<v Speaker 2>You have that whole controversy.

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Who went bias showed up, They where the thumbs down

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 1>stuff and all that nonsense. But at the end of

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the year, those people held on to Francisco Lindor, those

0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:12.720
<v Speaker 1>people who acquired him actually ended up getting a benefit there.

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 1>They stayed true eventually, if you were still relevant, Francisco

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Lindor did perform. And what he's doing right now this

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.360
<v Speaker 1>spring with ten hits, ten RBI, four home runs, already

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 1>hit four hundred this spring, he's showing you power. He's

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 1>got a couple doubles too. Again, stolen a base, which

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:29.119
<v Speaker 1>is just I'd like to see him steal a base

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the spring. That'd be nice. But this was a player

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago, just a year removed basically

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.479
<v Speaker 1>from he's kind of an almost first round talent, and

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I think we have to buy back in. I think

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the hype that goes along when you go to a

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 1>big market team is the adverse that happens too, is

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 1>when you don't perform well all of a sudden, then

0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 1>people underestimate you and forget and they want to pile

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>on a little bit because the exposure level was so

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>big on the positives and the failures, and he felt

0:23:58.240 --> 0:23:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit last year. Let's be honest, I would

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:01.200
<v Speaker 1>say what four and a half months of the season

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.760
<v Speaker 1>was a failure for Cisco Landor? Right? Would you agree

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:06.920
<v Speaker 1>with that? Well? About about right. So now we're getting

0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to a point with Lindor where if he's got a

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>good spring, if he seems like he's got a good

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>fresh attitude going in there, I think here's a lot

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 1>more attention on guys like Scherzer right now and some

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 1>of the other acquisitions, and there is necessarily on Lindor.

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 1>That's all the good things. So Lindor to me's another

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>player that I I know say move up because he's

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>already pretty highly rated player. That's the struggle kind of

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 1>like with Welshissing. But I've moved him back into that

0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 1>place where I think, yeah, you know what, this guy

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>is a second round talent and you might be able

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to get him, might maybe in the third or fourth round.

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's right.

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man, Yeah, I mean I think depending on the

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 1>depth of your league too. I mean, if you're in

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 1>a shallow league, he's going a little bit later than

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 1>he should because people also look at shortstop, but it's

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 1>quote so deep end quote they're kind of dismissing the

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 1>talent there. And I think Lindor has another big season

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 1>potentially in him. But this is a guy with you know,

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:51.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty five to twenty five kind of potential.

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I was. I'm with you because I

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 3>was always there this spring, you know, digging in on

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 3>last year. I mean, there's a lot of like little

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.120
<v Speaker 3>worrisome things that were poking out there. But it's one

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 3>of those anomalies to the picture who he was if

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:06.440
<v Speaker 3>you take it over you know, the COVID year in

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 3>last year. Otherwise, this had been a really consistent hitter,

0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, a twenty twenty type of guy, a five

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 3>tool player. If you a five tool, right shortstop where

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 3>you get those really needed stolen bases where some of

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 3>these guys don't you know where you're not getting him

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 3>from Seeger and Korea by as you're not getting the

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:25.400
<v Speaker 3>batting average for you got all of that with Lindor,

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 3>and Lindor, like you said, uniquely could be a first

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 3>round talent that you can get in the third or

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 3>fourth round and you know he's had. We've also talked

0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 3>about this before where a lot of these guys in

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 3>this new adjustment team period where they change major franchises,

0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 3>they've got some growing pains to learn, new divisions, new teammates,

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:48.640
<v Speaker 3>just new life, you know, circumstances, and then they come

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.080
<v Speaker 3>in and they rEFInd themselves. Matchata as an example of that.

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 3>I think this can be that year for Frankie Lindor.

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 3>So I have been there with you. I'm totally with it.

0:25:57.040 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 3>He was high pre spring and I'm still there and

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited. I'm excited to try to draft him. Actually

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 3>this weekend, I don't know if I have a ton

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:05.160
<v Speaker 3>of shares.

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't have any yet. I haven't really gotten

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a chance to take him. He's going as the ninth

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 1>shortstop off the board. Right now. I would take him

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>over Tatisse right now. I think I would take him

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 1>in a five by five over wander Franco. I would

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>take him over Trevor's story. Personally, I think he is

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the conversation with Tim Anderson. If you want to have

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that one, that's fine, But I think he's you know,

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe safer than Marcus Simeon coming off that career year.

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 2>You can make the argument the Lindor.

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Is the third or fourth shortstop in fantasy. You can

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:35.159
<v Speaker 1>make an argument because you can never make the argument.

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. The problem is there's that also the problem in

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.440
<v Speaker 3>that position, there's this clump of all these great guys

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 3>that I don't even like to sit here and have

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 3>this argument of like this guy over this guy, because

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 3>literally within a ten pick range, I think you're looking

0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:53.159
<v Speaker 3>at Tim Anderson, Trevor's story, Wander Franco, Francisco, Lindor's a

0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 3>and Bogarts and all those guys, and you can pick

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.400
<v Speaker 3>and choose. You know, it's a create your own adventure

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 3>with what whatever shortstop you want, where it's like, hey,

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I get second base eligibility with Trevor story at some point,

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 3>or I'm going to get the stolen bases here, or

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to get better batting average with Franco, you know,

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:12.199
<v Speaker 3>so you can build the stories of all of those guys,

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 3>but it also kind of muddies that position a little bit.

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Why I probably don't have the shares because there's so

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 3>many guys, and there's guys later like we've talked about

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:24.120
<v Speaker 3>with the you know, Willie Damis or the Brandon Crawford's

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 3>even super late or Bobby Witt Junior. So that's why

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't get in on that. But what would be

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 3>nice is if Lindor is the faller, and he's likely

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.360
<v Speaker 3>to be the guy that falls because story's got new

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:40.120
<v Speaker 3>big buzz. Tim Anderson is big on stolen bases, Wander Franco,

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, the next big thing. Lindor seems to be

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 3>the odd man out, and that's actually really good for that,

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 3>like you know, forty to fifty range if you can

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:48.479
<v Speaker 3>swoop him up.

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:51.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to another guy who's a riser

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 1>for you this spring Welsh in the draft boards.

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm going with another young guy, Jeremy Pania. I don't

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 3>know how many people are up on Jeremy Pagnia. He's

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 3>a shortstop with the system. He's actually out here in

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 3>the Arizona Fall League, like two thousand and nineteen, I

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 3>believe it was, and he has consistently bulked gotten bigger.

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 3>He's a hulk out there, and the team loves him,

0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 3>loves him so much that they've given him the reins

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 3>for Carlo's Korea Leaving. On the broadcast just a couple

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 3>of days ago, I was watching Jeff Bagwell was just

0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:22.159
<v Speaker 3>owing and awing about him where they were hitting him

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 3>up high in the batting order. I don't really truly

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 3>believe they would do this, but they're talking about even

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 3>potentially letting Jeremy Paenia lead off occasionally. He's a really

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:36.159
<v Speaker 3>solid contact guy. He's got completely underrated power because just

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 3>people don't understand or really know about Jeremy Pania, and

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 3>if you're hitting high in that lineup, you kind of

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 3>can't deny the value that might be there from the

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 3>shortstop position for a guy like this later in drafts,

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 3>and I think I've seen a lot of people picking

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 3>him up late just his perspective. In twenty and twenty one, Painia,

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 3>in only one hundred and forty five at bats, had

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 3>ten homers. With sixtill in them. Base is hitting two

0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 3>ninety seven in the minors and he has hit over

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 3>two ninety since twenty nineteen. He's gone through four levels

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 3>of the minor leagues. He's twenty four years old, big

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 3>six foot shortstop, added power. I think he could sneak

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 3>into twenty homers there. He'll steal some bases as well.

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Astros don't steal bases, so we'll kind of see how

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 3>that goes. But if they are really gonna put Kyle

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Tucker back in the order and not lead off Altuve

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 3>and Paynya is going to get some of that run.

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.440
<v Speaker 3>This is a guy who through his spring he's been

0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 3>successful and the team has talked him up and they

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.760
<v Speaker 3>haven't filled his position. So Jeremy Pania super good, sneaky

0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 3>late shortstop to pick, and he has moved up my

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 3>draft board to really pay attention to because we would

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 3>be drafting him as more of a middle infielder and

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 3>he might be worth.

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 2>It, I can tell you right now. Via to the

0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:48.440
<v Speaker 2>top of the order in April.

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be very interested in the DFS world in

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>him because he's going to be a lot cheaper than

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the other guys in that position, and

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>hitting at the tubby the order is always something you

0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 1>want to targeting those. So I think that's a great

0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>name to throw out, not just for season long, for

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 1>DFS purposes too, So Welsh throughout a young guy, I'm

0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw out an old fart. Normally it's good when

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you lead the league in home runs, except when you're

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a pitcher. Patrick Corbin last year gave up thirty seven

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 1>of him not good. He also led the league and

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 1>earned runs, giving up one hundred and eleven. Patrick Corbin

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>is such an odd career when you look at it,

0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>because if you go back to some of those diamondback days,

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you know the years where he's going two hundred innings

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 1>back to back, right back to back seasons. In eighteen

0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to nineteen, the ERA was under three to three, and

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, right he goes to the Nationals,

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 1>has a good season there, we think, okay, you know,

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and thirty eighth strikeouts, All right, this is

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 1>this is the guy we won Patrick Corbyn. Then twenty

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty the wheels fell off four to six six ERA,

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>and then last year, I mean the whole he fell

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 1>out of the car. I mean, if the wheels fell

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.120
<v Speaker 1>off the car, he was like Fred Flintstone, kind of

0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 1>like trying to put it together with his feet. Which

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I know that's an older reference for some of you

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 1>out there. You could go google it, but I mean

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 1>last year he was nine and sixteen. I know we

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>don't pay an attention at records, but it's just funny.

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:01.600
<v Speaker 1>So he led the lead again, lost games, He led

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the league and earned runs, and he led the league

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 1>in home runs given up. It's not good, but but

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 1>he is free and so far this spring nine innings,

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>ten strikeouts, two walks. So I don't know if it's

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a health issue the last couple of years with him,

0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's a confidence issue. I don't

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. Well, but as a free pitcher

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 1>towards the end of drafts, if you're gonna give me

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a healthy enough Patrick Corbyn, who could even get dealt

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>as I'm sure Washington's gonna just continue to unload assets

0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>here this year, he could end up on a much

0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 1>better team sometime in July or August. If that happens.

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, right now, the spring performance has been eye

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 1>opening to me, and I always like to look at this.

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, those bounce back guys are just as important

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 1>as the young sexy guys like the Rodriguezz that we

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 1>talked about before, the school bulls. Sometimes the old fart

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 1>guys too that people have kind of dismissed and forgotten about.

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 1>And if he can get back on track, this is

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 1>a guy. Once upon a time, Welsh was one of

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 1>those guys you looked at as a one to a

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of ace in fantasy baseball. And I know the

0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Nats aren't gonna win a ton of games, but I

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 1>think as a free square, I'm investing.

0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about KORbin potentially bouncing back?

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is another one of those guys. You picked

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 3>another one that I like as well. Twenty nineteen he

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>had fourteen wins with an over ten k per nine

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 3>and a three ERA. He actually had three and a

0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:17.320
<v Speaker 3>half x FIP in two thousand and nineteen and twenty

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 3>eighteen he had a sub three x FIP, which is bonkers.

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean literally, his x FIP was better than his era.

0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 3>The problem is, guy's a two pitch pitcher, and if

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 3>you get inconsistent or you're not full in anybody, you're

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:34.200
<v Speaker 3>not gonna work, and that's where he's falling apart. It's

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 3>the same thing we've seen with the Chris Paddock with

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 3>the padres where you know, I know he has tried

0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:41.640
<v Speaker 3>to add a third pitch and try it. I think

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.240
<v Speaker 3>it's the curveball and trying to get more. You know, guys,

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 3>you have to be able to set up more, and

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:48.880
<v Speaker 3>when you're a two pitch pitcher, you don't have a

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of that, especially if your fastball is flattening out

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 3>or you're not getting spin on it, you're not commanding it,

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 3>and all guys are gonna do is sit on your

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 3>second sit and wait on your secondaries because they know

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 3>they can catch up to your fastball. And that's a

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 3>lot of what we saw with Patrick Corban. But I'm

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:06.160
<v Speaker 3>in because this team can't get out from under the

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 3>pitching because of the contracts. They also, even though we

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:11.960
<v Speaker 3>talk about them maybe blowing it up, they're kind of

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 3>pseudo still in there and still competing. And if the

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 3>pitchers were to work, I think it would get them

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.560
<v Speaker 3>back in that. Patrick Corbyn is a guy that I

0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 3>think can get back into double digit wins. I think

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 3>he can regain the strikeouts we're kind of seeing it

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 3>in the spring, which I think is encouraging. And the

0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:29.239
<v Speaker 3>most important part is he is free. He's free with

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:32.240
<v Speaker 3>only two years removed of ten plus k per nine

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 3>and lots of wins. It's not the same team, but

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 3>I will take free ninety nine on Patrick Corbyn and

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm in.

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:41.479
<v Speaker 1>He's free like the MLB draft kit over fantasypros dot

0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Com slash kid. See what I did there. So I've

0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>got Patrick Corbin. I've moved him all the way up

0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>into the high sixties here. He's in that same range

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>as like Casey Mice and Louis Patino. Would you take

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Corbyn or one of those younger guys.

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:56.560
<v Speaker 3>In a redraft to Pattino or.

0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Louis Patino and Casey Mice, Yeah.

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 3>They're all in the same tier. I might well, you

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 3>know what, I would have said, Patino, but he's been

0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:08.840
<v Speaker 3>like a little bit banged up. I might take Corbin.

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I might take Corbyn. I've got Corbin ahead

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:14.319
<v Speaker 1>of him again, that's the order right now. I've got

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:17.759
<v Speaker 1>it corbyin Patino myz. And then you know some guys

0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>like Alex Cobb floating around there too. Well, that's a

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:22.080
<v Speaker 1>bonus one we're not gonna talk about, but I'm sure

0:34:22.080 --> 0:34:24.680
<v Speaker 1>he's flying up and rightfully so. If he's touching ninety

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 1>seven on the gun coming off a good year in

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles, that's another bonus guy that wasn't on our

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:33.359
<v Speaker 1>lists but almost made mine. But I just think I'll

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:34.959
<v Speaker 1>take my shirt on the guy who's thrown two hundred

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>innings more than once. You know.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And that's actually the really important key there is

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna get massive amounts of innings. They're gonna rely

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 3>on him all year long. I don't think they can

0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 3>get out from the contract. You hope he doesn't have

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:50.360
<v Speaker 3>sixteen losses again this year, but it kind of a

0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 3>scrappy team.

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the sixteen losses if he gives me a

0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:54.839
<v Speaker 1>ten K per nine. He gives me a mid three

0:34:54.920 --> 0:34:56.280
<v Speaker 1>z e R, I'll take that.

0:34:56.280 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 2>That's fine.

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:58.319
<v Speaker 1>You can lose all those games you want, all right,

0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the last guy on the Riser list

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:01.760
<v Speaker 1>for you while show you got.

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:04.280
<v Speaker 3>If you're talking about, who are the guys during spring

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.799
<v Speaker 3>that have helped their cause, I'm not sure there is

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.200
<v Speaker 3>a guy that's helped their cause more than Haesu's Lozardo,

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:13.560
<v Speaker 3>whose former top prospect. I absolutely loved him with the

0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:16.799
<v Speaker 3>A's and he really fell into inconsistency, which is so

0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 3>interesting because that is a lot of what he was

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:22.240
<v Speaker 3>built off of. Lozardo multi pitch pitcher, lots of different pitches,

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:24.799
<v Speaker 3>he could command the zone. But one of the things

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I loved about him, he's a very off kilter pitcher.

0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 3>So you know, he would normal pitch you and then

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, second pitch in he might he might quick

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 3>pitch you, like he gets the ball and just bahm,

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:37.319
<v Speaker 3>and then he might do a hold, you know, hold

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 3>his foot motion and then pitch, so he would keep

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 3>guys off balance. He's a really smart pitcher with multiple

0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:46.480
<v Speaker 3>good pitches, and became completely inconsistent. He lost a decent

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:50.480
<v Speaker 3>amount of his fastball. He's risen his average fastball. This

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I know one of the starts, and my buddy Chris

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:55.759
<v Speaker 3>Claig had tweeted about a couple of these things. You've

0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:58.560
<v Speaker 3>seen him a put almost three miles per hour back

0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:02.279
<v Speaker 3>on his fastball, hitting the high nineties and see b

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 3>see jumping in and throwing the curveball more than the fastball.

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 3>And that really sets up because if you are throwing

0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 3>ninety nine and everybody has to sit on that curveball,

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.400
<v Speaker 3>you're going to get strikeouts. It's just the type of

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 3>success a young pitcher that's actually like kind of like

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 3>a twenty seven to twenty eight, twenty nine year old

0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:22.800
<v Speaker 3>type of game I would think they would be playing.

0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.719
<v Speaker 3>This is a really smart game plan for him, and

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.239
<v Speaker 3>I think it's going to lead to success. Overpowering with

0:36:28.280 --> 0:36:31.160
<v Speaker 3>your secondaries and then just punch out, you know, high

0:36:31.239 --> 0:36:34.520
<v Speaker 3>on the fastball and him adding that type of ve low.

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 3>That speaks for itself. You know, that's not even a

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 3>spring stat. That is just result, and we don't always

0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:44.040
<v Speaker 3>need stats to you know, make us come to our decisions.

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 3>That is a simple result that leads to probably him

0:36:47.200 --> 0:36:49.440
<v Speaker 3>being a guy that not only need to target, but

0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:51.960
<v Speaker 3>we've talked about the cheat code guys. He's an RP.

0:36:52.280 --> 0:36:54.720
<v Speaker 3>He's in a qualify relief pitcher for a lot of places.

0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:56.600
<v Speaker 3>So if you want to sneak in that, throw him

0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:57.920
<v Speaker 3>in there. So Lizardo's moved.

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Up for me, all right? Love that one. Love Wizardo.

0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:02.840
<v Speaker 1>In those leagues where he might qualify at RP and

0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 1>s P, that's that's huge, especially in those mandatory spots there.

0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:07.960
<v Speaker 1>So I hope he gets back on track because I'm

0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 1>like you, Welsh, I was somebody who was absolutely in

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:11.720
<v Speaker 1>love with the talent in the Oakland system.

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 3>And then it's just he's not free anymore, which I

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 3>don't like. He was free before. He's much less free.

0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:20.759
<v Speaker 3>He's really risen up boards, So I don't I will

0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 3>say this, I'm not willing to overpay for him and

0:37:23.600 --> 0:37:26.959
<v Speaker 3>a lot of other people buzzy names. People will pay

0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 3>whatever the costs, even the guys we've talked.

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>About, like, well, he's consensus to seventy three overall right now,

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.160
<v Speaker 1>pitcher number eighty three on the board.

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:35.560
<v Speaker 2>That's it's pretty good.

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 3>But I've seen him go into the two hundreds.

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Like, well, here's a question for you.

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Would you take Alex Cobb or would you take Hazu's

0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Lozardo because those they're pretty close to each other right

0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:48.040
<v Speaker 1>now in terms of the expert consensus rankings on Fantasy

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 1>pers you.

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Picked another guy who's had a lot of good vload

0:37:50.360 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 3>changes as well.

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's why I put it out there.

0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:57.000
<v Speaker 3>I would take Cobb personally, but I think Iron as well.

0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm hiring like that ballpark, Yeah.

0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm in the same mind as you, all right,

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:05.000
<v Speaker 1>last guy for me, it's a riser. Mackenzie Gore having

0:38:05.000 --> 0:38:08.279
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful spring this year. He's taking the ball three

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:12.759
<v Speaker 1>times nine innings so far, eleven strikeouts, one walk. If

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you go look at the minor league track record over

0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:17.720
<v Speaker 1>fifty five minor league starts, he's got a three point

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 1>two eight career eer got a two point eight five

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:22.719
<v Speaker 1>career era. Pardon me, I was, We'll get the wrong

0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:25.680
<v Speaker 1>number there, the one point one zero six whip. The

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:28.839
<v Speaker 1>guy's striking out eleven per nine. This is a guy

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:31.799
<v Speaker 1>we've been hearing about for ages now. It seems like

0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and just haven't quite cracked that rotation. We thought he

0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:36.480
<v Speaker 1>might get dealt in one of these deals moving back

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and forth. But I mean, Mackenzie Gore right now certainly

0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 1>looks like a guy that should get a shot at

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 1>this rotation. Clevenger did start this week. It was not

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:47.799
<v Speaker 1>a great start. Clevenger said, I always think and bring.

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:50.239
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't pitched in a very long time, so there's

0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a chance maybe that Clevenger's working behind everybody. I'm not

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>exactly sure how many starts we're gonna get out of

0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Mackenzie Gore this year, but I think you're gonna get

0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:00.759
<v Speaker 1>enough to invest in him, so I moved him up

0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:03.160
<v Speaker 1>my board a decent amount, still kind of after some

0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 1>of these other guys because of the unknown factors a

0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:06.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit. And he is still a young pitcher, so

0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:09.879
<v Speaker 1>there's still some limitations. But when you're looking at Mackenzie Gore,

0:39:10.160 --> 0:39:12.040
<v Speaker 1>where do you have him Welsh and and what are

0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 1>your expectations for Gore in twenty twenty two.

0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I am not with everybody else on this. And I

0:39:18.120 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 3>loved Mackenzie Gore back in twenty seventeen, was at his

0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:25.400
<v Speaker 3>pro his first pro start, one of my favorite pictures.

0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 3>I had him at number one forever. But over this

0:39:29.120 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 3>last two years he's really kind of fallen apart a

0:39:32.160 --> 0:39:34.640
<v Speaker 3>little bit as who he was. Saw him in common.

0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 1>He was terrible in the Arizona Fall. By the way,

0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you watched him. He was a

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 1>seventy hour dude.

0:39:39.640 --> 0:39:41.919
<v Speaker 2>He was gonna say you saw him, bitch, he was.

0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Did He played rookie ball out here. They kept him

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:46.520
<v Speaker 3>hanging at the complex for a while. Then he played

0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:49.880
<v Speaker 3>rookie ball. Then he went to the AFL after he's

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 3>shown signs, but that's my problem with him. I believe

0:39:53.120 --> 0:39:55.120
<v Speaker 3>he's a reliever and I think he should be groomed

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:58.280
<v Speaker 3>to be a closer at some point. His fastball doesn't

0:39:58.280 --> 0:40:00.760
<v Speaker 3>have the spin that it used to. He can't pump

0:40:00.840 --> 0:40:04.160
<v Speaker 3>ninety seven inconsistent. He's got a pump closer to ninety four.

0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:07.560
<v Speaker 3>He started throwing his curveball again, which I think has

0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:10.400
<v Speaker 3>been more success. But his stuff is all right, you know,

0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:12.440
<v Speaker 3>and he's had more He has more confidence right now

0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:14.760
<v Speaker 3>where he's hitting the zones. But I don't personally believe

0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna get into the second or third through the lineup,

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:20.600
<v Speaker 3>and that's going to hurt as a starter. So my

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.040
<v Speaker 3>expectation for this year, and maybe I'll be wrong. You know,

0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:26.800
<v Speaker 3>the Potters might trade out Chris Paddock and Nick Martinez

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:28.120
<v Speaker 3>is not an option, and they put him in. But

0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:30.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't think there's a role for Mackenzie Gore to

0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:32.360
<v Speaker 3>be a starter. I think he'd be a spot starter.

0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:34.400
<v Speaker 3>I think he's a kind of mid reliever playing a

0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:37.439
<v Speaker 3>Garrett Crochet role. I think he'll find success. Maybe he'll

0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 3>be a starter next year, but I really believe the

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:41.920
<v Speaker 3>bullpen long term is where he's going to go. But

0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 3>I will point out he has worked with the starters

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:48.880
<v Speaker 3>the entire offseason. Here in the spring, he's with Paddock

0:40:48.920 --> 0:40:51.120
<v Speaker 3>all the time is where I usually see him. I

0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:53.040
<v Speaker 3>don't see him hanging out with any of the relievers

0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:54.960
<v Speaker 3>or anything like that. So they're going to continue to

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.279
<v Speaker 3>do it until they can't. But I personally do not

0:40:57.440 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 3>believe he can. So I'm not on board with McKenzie gore.

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:03.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, fair enough there, So those are our risers,

0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Treek schoobl Francisco Lindor, Patrick Corbin, Mackenzie Gore. For me,

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I would also throw Hunter Green into that mix as well.

0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Who's making the rotation? Who? My goodness, I only had

0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:15.560
<v Speaker 1>eight keepers in this one league, and I kept him

0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:18.000
<v Speaker 1>for like three bucks because I was like, I feel

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:20.440
<v Speaker 1>like he's gonna play this year a lot, and feeling

0:41:20.480 --> 0:41:22.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty good about that one. So that's good. That same

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:24.720
<v Speaker 1>team as to gram on it. So hopefully somebody pitches

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:27.239
<v Speaker 1>for me this week, Oh my god. All right, and

0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>then of course the Welsh has Julio Rodriguez, Chris Bryant,

0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Pinia, hayesus Lozardo. When we threw an Alex cobb

0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:35.719
<v Speaker 1>in there two as a mutual one. All right, let's

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:38.640
<v Speaker 1>get some of the followers here. For me, number one

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:40.880
<v Speaker 1>was Lance mccullors. I mean, this is just easy, and

0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 1>it's injury related. You know, spring performance when there's zero

0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:46.279
<v Speaker 1>spring performance and this lingering injuries with a guy who's

0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:50.640
<v Speaker 1>had injuries already. I love the talent. I was very

0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:52.360
<v Speaker 1>high on him. If he asked me in January, I

0:41:52.400 --> 0:41:53.680
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, I'm and I have all the mccolors

0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:55.839
<v Speaker 1>this year. Hopefully shows up to camp healthy and we're

0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:58.560
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. That hasn't happened. He's been a foller

0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:01.560
<v Speaker 1>for me. I've knocked him sick magnificantly down in my rankings.

0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I'm going to do another, probably another refresh

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:07.840
<v Speaker 1>of some of these rankings right before we finished this show,

0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and I've just plummeted him. I just don't feel like

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:13.719
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get a Lansma Color Seniors season at

0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:15.520
<v Speaker 1>this point, which is very sad.

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just not touching him.

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I have him at Pitcher seventy five right now, but

0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that might even potentially get worse. So he's a definite

0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:26.879
<v Speaker 1>faller for me. Welsh, who is a faller on your list.

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's not as significant as that, And I

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:32.000
<v Speaker 3>don't want to make every single one of these about injuries,

0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:34.680
<v Speaker 3>but Luis Castillo has kind of fallen for me. He's

0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:37.359
<v Speaker 3>been the kind of some of the inconsistencies with the team.

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:40.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm really worried about the team context with him as well.

0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Injury worries are out there, so I've pushed him outside

0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:47.160
<v Speaker 3>of my top one hundred. And you know, he's one

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:49.960
<v Speaker 3>of those guys everybody, you know, primatively everyone's like, oh

0:42:50.080 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Lois Castillo, he's going to break out, and he's inconsistent

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:56.399
<v Speaker 3>in seasons. He's got months of eight eras and then

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:58.279
<v Speaker 3>he finds it for a month and a half. He's

0:42:58.320 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 3>the hobby Bayas or the He's the odabertilmnd Tocy of

0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:03.279
<v Speaker 3>pitchers type of guy, like he could be one of

0:43:03.320 --> 0:43:05.759
<v Speaker 3>the best and he can completely fall apart. I'm just

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:08.320
<v Speaker 3>not I would take him if Bush comes to shove,

0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:11.120
<v Speaker 3>but I'm not interested in paying the cost for him.

0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:14.000
<v Speaker 3>And you know, them decimating that team has moved him

0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:16.200
<v Speaker 3>off a little bit. So Luis Castillo number one for me?

0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:20.880
<v Speaker 1>For me? Another faller's Cody Bellinger. I was trying to

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:23.520
<v Speaker 1>be patient, give him the benefit of the doubt, Welsh,

0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's a smart thing to do when

0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you've seen players who have had monstrous seasons, right, I

0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:30.359
<v Speaker 1>don't want to go and be the prisoner of the moment.

0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go and see a player who

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:34.920
<v Speaker 1>was once hitting forty bombs and then have some struggles

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden say, yeah, that guy's toast.

0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:39.880
<v Speaker 1>He's done. But man, I'm just not seeing anything. Cody Bellinger,

0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:41.680
<v Speaker 1>he's had a buck forty eight so far. I know

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:44.080
<v Speaker 1>he had a decent postseason where people start to get

0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a little excited again. But the biggest one for me,

0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Welsh this spring He's had ten games, twenty seven at bats.

0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:52.520
<v Speaker 1>He's had seventeen strikeouts in those twenty seven at bats.

0:43:52.960 --> 0:43:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Something's wrong there, and I'm just not touching him. I'm

0:43:55.520 --> 0:43:56.040
<v Speaker 1>not touching him.

0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:57.160
<v Speaker 2>For whatever the ADP is.

0:43:57.600 --> 0:44:01.279
<v Speaker 1>It was the discount of all discounts, maybe very very

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:03.720
<v Speaker 1>late in a draft, but that's not gonna happen. Somebody

0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.160
<v Speaker 1>in your draft is probably gonna take Cody Bollinger a

0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:09.480
<v Speaker 1>little earlier based on previous performance. But Welsh, I can't

0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:12.680
<v Speaker 1>help but get around the seventeen strikeouts and twenty seven

0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:14.479
<v Speaker 1>at pass, to me, that's a huge flag.

0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:17.040
<v Speaker 3>What do you think the punchies he calls him. He said,

0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:18.759
<v Speaker 3>He's like, that's what spring's for. You got to get

0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:20.720
<v Speaker 3>the punchies out of the way. Yeah.

0:44:20.719 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's getting them all out of the way. He's

0:44:22.000 --> 0:44:23.120
<v Speaker 1>not gonna have any left at this point.

0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:26.680
<v Speaker 3>He is. I am a Cody Bellinger disciple. I kind

0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:29.160
<v Speaker 3>of defend him a bit. I definitely am a little

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:32.799
<v Speaker 3>bit worried with how bad this spring is. But to

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:35.680
<v Speaker 3>the same point, good or bad, you don't want to

0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 3>buy everything in. But seeing the amount of strikeouts and

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:41.400
<v Speaker 3>some of the changes he's done is a little bit worrisome.

0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:43.439
<v Speaker 3>I think there's just a lot of playing around that's

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:46.479
<v Speaker 3>going on. As well season comes. I think he's gonna

0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:48.920
<v Speaker 3>stop screwing around. You know, he's gonna stop messing with

0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:51.040
<v Speaker 3>his swing, and he's gonna get back to basics. The

0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:53.440
<v Speaker 3>basics might be the problem. Though, here's what I'll say.

0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:55.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm not with you. He has fallen. He actually has

0:44:55.800 --> 0:44:57.920
<v Speaker 3>fallen a little bit because I think I was hyper aggressive.

0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:00.719
<v Speaker 3>I will still draft him, but I like it now

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.080
<v Speaker 3>because he comes at a much cheaper cost because he

0:45:03.160 --> 0:45:04.239
<v Speaker 3>was starting to rise up.

0:45:04.280 --> 0:45:04.759
<v Speaker 2>There were some.

0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Behind the scenes a couple people I've talked to that

0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:10.400
<v Speaker 3>had some good things to say about some stuff that

0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Cody Bellinger's did this past offseason that could help and

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:15.680
<v Speaker 3>could go to a breakout. It's not an application right

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:17.840
<v Speaker 3>now during the spring, but I am hoping that the

0:45:17.840 --> 0:45:20.080
<v Speaker 3>punches are out of the way and I can take

0:45:20.160 --> 0:45:21.040
<v Speaker 3>him a little bit later.

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Coming into this year, I feel like we had Yelich

0:45:24.280 --> 0:45:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and Bellingers like Okay, some around like outfielder twenty five.

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:30.000
<v Speaker 1>You could take a shot on one of these guys.

0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not taking the shot on Bellinger there, not even close.

0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean at this point, I'd rather be taking shots

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 1>later and guys like Kirolov we talked about a lot

0:45:37.680 --> 0:45:40.560
<v Speaker 1>more earlier this week on shows. All right, let's get

0:45:40.560 --> 0:45:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to another guy on your list, Welsh, who you have?

0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's just an easy I don't need to

0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:47.080
<v Speaker 3>go crazy into it. It's kind of like your mccoulers.

0:45:47.120 --> 0:45:50.200
<v Speaker 3>It's flerty flirty with the injury stuff. He's also kind

0:45:50.200 --> 0:45:52.839
<v Speaker 3>of had some of those inconsistencies of a good month,

0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:57.080
<v Speaker 3>bad month. He's coming into the season on an il stint.

0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Do we really fully know the extent of of these injuries.

0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:04.719
<v Speaker 3>You just moved way down and he's I'm less likely

0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:06.319
<v Speaker 3>to draft him. I don't want to call him off

0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:08.840
<v Speaker 3>my board, but I don't see a scenario where I

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:10.960
<v Speaker 3>draft him. So he's kind of plummeted down in the

0:46:10.960 --> 0:46:12.080
<v Speaker 3>same mccullor's range.

0:46:12.960 --> 0:46:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's fair, And look, injuries are important, especially when

0:46:16.280 --> 0:46:18.279
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the pitchers here that you have to

0:46:18.360 --> 0:46:20.400
<v Speaker 1>knock them down. You can't always think everything's going to

0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:22.800
<v Speaker 1>be rosy and you can't say, well, you know, hopefully

0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you can get healthy. Because we've seen this already. It's

0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:27.840
<v Speaker 1>your starting off at a deficit. You're already going to

0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.520
<v Speaker 1>have to deal with injuries in season. If you're going

0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:33.560
<v Speaker 1>to make investments, especially big investments on pictures who are

0:46:33.640 --> 0:46:36.279
<v Speaker 1>very talented but are already hard to hurt to start

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:39.279
<v Speaker 1>the year, Excuse me, that's tough. I mean, I think

0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:41.239
<v Speaker 1>you're already putting yourself behind the eight ball and it's

0:46:41.280 --> 0:46:43.359
<v Speaker 1>not a place to be. Another guy for me that's

0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:46.120
<v Speaker 1>falling down is Jared Kellnick, another one that I thought

0:46:46.120 --> 0:46:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Spring was very important for seven strikeouts in the nine

0:46:50.000 --> 0:46:52.600
<v Speaker 1>games and the twenty five played appearances, hitting just two

0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:55.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred two thirty one obps. Take it, just one walk

0:46:55.880 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 1>in those twenty five at bats. So part of the

0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:01.640
<v Speaker 1>reason why I've been moving up Julio Rodriguez because I

0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:04.040
<v Speaker 1>feel really confident about that guy and the tools that

0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:06.280
<v Speaker 1>he brings. And I'm still waiting for Kellenick to click,

0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:09.399
<v Speaker 1>and it just feels like he's one of these can't

0:47:09.440 --> 0:47:12.160
<v Speaker 1>miss prospects. But we see this happen well sometimes where

0:47:13.080 --> 0:47:16.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe something was lost in translation, maybe that first run

0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:18.279
<v Speaker 1>of the Major League is really hurt his confidence, or

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going on with Jared Kellenick, but

0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:22.720
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the track record in the minor leagues,

0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:24.439
<v Speaker 1>was this a very solid player. A lot of people

0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 1>felt a very polished player that would actually transition to

0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the major leagues quite easily, and everybody was wrong about that.

0:47:31.560 --> 0:47:34.399
<v Speaker 1>And until he shows it to me, I'm knocking him

0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:37.000
<v Speaker 1>down significantly in my rankings. I just can't get there.

0:47:37.080 --> 0:47:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't do it. To me. There's a lot of

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:42.480
<v Speaker 1>guys in the outfield that are suspect as you get deeper,

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and if I'm gonna take somebody's suspect, I'm gonna take

0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:47.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody that's got more of a track record I'm gonna

0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:49.720
<v Speaker 1>try to take right now. I mean, you got guys

0:47:49.760 --> 0:47:52.200
<v Speaker 1>like Horay Solaier, Adam Duval, Jared Kellenick. They're kind of

0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 1>in that same range. I gotta be honest with you.

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll take some of the boppers that I know are

0:47:56.040 --> 0:47:58.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna crush batting average, but they're also gonna crush dingers.

0:47:58.480 --> 0:48:01.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what Kellenick's gonna crush set by batting average,

0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and I know they're committed to him, and I think

0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:05.480
<v Speaker 1>that's great. But there's even guys like Tommy fam and

0:48:05.480 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Bennan Tendi where I kind of feel like they

0:48:07.160 --> 0:48:09.480
<v Speaker 1>might be safer than kell Nick. He re draft leagues

0:48:09.560 --> 0:48:10.760
<v Speaker 1>right now, Welsh, what do you think.

0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:12.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm huge on Andrew ben and Tendi this year? Yeah,

0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:16.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't reach for Jared kell Nick. Some players have

0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:19.880
<v Speaker 3>to learn adversity. I think Joey Dell was experiencing that.

0:48:19.960 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't think there was a lot of, you know,

0:48:21.640 --> 0:48:25.440
<v Speaker 3>baseball adversity he was dealing with. Jared Kelnick. No baseball adversity.

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:28.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, he dominated at every level. The biggest adversity

0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:31.920
<v Speaker 3>he faced was being traded to the Mariners, and these

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:34.960
<v Speaker 3>guys haven't experienced a whole lot of failure. And then

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:37.799
<v Speaker 3>you get to the highest competitive level where they're being

0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:41.680
<v Speaker 3>challenged where they weren't being challenged before, and you're seeing major, major,

0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:45.479
<v Speaker 3>major struggles. Some players don't need it. You know, we've

0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:49.240
<v Speaker 3>Wanda Franco, doesn't. You know, like failure is not an option.

0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:52.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's not something that is in his game

0:48:52.200 --> 0:48:54.239
<v Speaker 3>plan of how he plays the game. Some guys do.

0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:56.560
<v Speaker 3>And I think you're gonna and that's gonna be the

0:48:56.600 --> 0:49:00.560
<v Speaker 3>true testament. But you know, why pay up right now

0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:03.760
<v Speaker 3>for the opportunity for him to get it fixed. Spring

0:49:03.840 --> 0:49:06.560
<v Speaker 3>looks okay, he still looks a little bit beat. Julio

0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:09.040
<v Speaker 3>looks better than him right now. So I don't disagree

0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:11.360
<v Speaker 3>with you. I still believe in Kelnick, but he's not

0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:13.279
<v Speaker 3>a draft target for me. I don't think I've moved

0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:16.360
<v Speaker 3>him down a ton, but I really just don't prioritize

0:49:16.440 --> 0:49:17.000
<v Speaker 3>drafting him.

0:49:17.719 --> 0:49:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I have him, I've got him right now in the

0:49:19.840 --> 0:49:23.640
<v Speaker 1>low seventies ish range. Like if Michael Confordo doesn't have

0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:25.799
<v Speaker 1>a team the Minnick Michael Conforto signs, I would take

0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:29.359
<v Speaker 1>him over Jared Kelnick. Here's a question for you. These

0:49:29.360 --> 0:49:32.760
<v Speaker 1>guys have clumped together, Cavin Bizio, Jared Kellnick, Andrew Vaughn.

0:49:33.120 --> 0:49:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Who would you rather have those three if you had

0:49:34.760 --> 0:49:35.319
<v Speaker 1>the draft one?

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Kel Nick? Hands down?

0:49:37.440 --> 0:49:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so still Kellenick for you. All Right, Well, let's

0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:42.440
<v Speaker 1>just get another guy on your list. Who you got?

0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:44.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is gonna be an interesting one. I don't

0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:46.560
<v Speaker 3>know if you saw my notes I put up here.

0:49:48.560 --> 0:49:50.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't have a third one. I gotta tell you

0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:53.320
<v Speaker 3>because of a trade that just went down, a huge

0:49:53.360 --> 0:49:56.240
<v Speaker 3>trade which has massive implications. And it was the guy

0:49:56.360 --> 0:50:00.440
<v Speaker 3>that I had on this list. I had Craig Kimberl.

0:50:00.520 --> 0:50:03.600
<v Speaker 3>I watched Kimberl pitch the other day against the Los

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Angeles Dodgers. It was Walker Bueller. Kimberl didn't really look fantastic.

0:50:08.080 --> 0:50:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I gotta admit to you. He didn't looked great. The

0:50:10.520 --> 0:50:13.040
<v Speaker 3>White Sox kept talking about keeping him. They had not

0:50:13.280 --> 0:50:17.080
<v Speaker 3>moved him. I didn't feel good about anything happening with

0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Craig Kimberl, and I put him on this list. And

0:50:19.640 --> 0:50:23.440
<v Speaker 3>then as we were recording this show, Craig Kimberl traded

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:26.960
<v Speaker 3>to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Aj Pollock. It's a

0:50:27.320 --> 0:50:31.239
<v Speaker 3>massive move. So I'm cheating because he's not on the

0:50:31.280 --> 0:50:34.480
<v Speaker 3>list now because that was the guy, and he jumps

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:37.120
<v Speaker 3>into that closer role. Blake Trinon is now the guy

0:50:37.160 --> 0:50:39.440
<v Speaker 3>that is, So that's my pick. Blake Trinon is the

0:50:39.440 --> 0:50:42.120
<v Speaker 3>guy because he's no longer the closer. He likes to

0:50:42.160 --> 0:50:44.759
<v Speaker 3>even be that high leverage guy. Kimberl's the closer with

0:50:44.800 --> 0:50:49.240
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers skyrockets up and Blake Trinon moves down. Also

0:50:49.360 --> 0:50:52.319
<v Speaker 3>an uptick to Gavin lux who I think might be

0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:54.560
<v Speaker 3>able to take some of this playing time for Aj Pollock.

0:50:54.680 --> 0:50:58.759
<v Speaker 3>So lucks up, Kimber up, Trynon down. That's my pick

0:50:58.800 --> 0:51:00.440
<v Speaker 3>because I literally had to that.

0:51:00.640 --> 0:51:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for all those people who took Trent in early,

0:51:02.440 --> 0:51:04.800
<v Speaker 1>especially after you felt if you took him really early

0:51:04.840 --> 0:51:07.839
<v Speaker 1>before the Kenley Jansen move, you felt like a million bucks,

0:51:08.000 --> 0:51:11.440
<v Speaker 1>like I'm a genius. Only six days before the season

0:51:11.480 --> 0:51:13.799
<v Speaker 1>to have this happen, that's just that's crushing. All right.

0:51:14.239 --> 0:51:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I've got one more on my list, is yours kind

0:51:16.120 --> 0:51:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of got stolen from underneath you? Why don't you take

0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:18.920
<v Speaker 1>another one here?

0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, my last one on my list is Kamilla

0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Daval kind of in the same range. He's a guy

0:51:25.160 --> 0:51:28.320
<v Speaker 3>that's moved down. He actually could still be really interesting

0:51:28.360 --> 0:51:31.480
<v Speaker 3>to draft, I would say, because I think he will.

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Bogmin's even said he thinks Camilla will lead the team

0:51:34.719 --> 0:51:37.560
<v Speaker 3>in saves, and I believe it, but people are still

0:51:37.640 --> 0:51:40.640
<v Speaker 3>drafting him pretty high. I always got on Bogman's case

0:51:40.640 --> 0:51:42.719
<v Speaker 3>about doing it because there were no guarantees. They've said

0:51:42.760 --> 0:51:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Jake McGee is the current closer. So from the perspective

0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:49.719
<v Speaker 3>of falling down list, Kamille Deval has moved pretty far down. Kapler,

0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:52.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, is he going to give away that job early,

0:51:52.120 --> 0:51:54.680
<v Speaker 3>especially to a young guy, doesn't seem likely. I think

0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:56.920
<v Speaker 3>McGee is going to get the opportunity for quite some

0:51:57.040 --> 0:51:59.879
<v Speaker 3>time here. So Kmilla Daval was another guy that over

0:52:00.040 --> 0:52:01.000
<v Speaker 3>spring has moved down.

0:52:02.080 --> 0:52:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, she's gonna hate me for this last one. It's

0:52:03.840 --> 0:52:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Winker. I just think last year was a one

0:52:07.440 --> 0:52:10.840
<v Speaker 1>year wonder I do. He's always been a good contact

0:52:10.880 --> 0:52:12.800
<v Speaker 1>hitter in the minor leagues, never had a lot of power.

0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:15.680
<v Speaker 1>But to me, it's it's not even the Spring performance,

0:52:15.680 --> 0:52:17.480
<v Speaker 1>which if you want, I could give it to you.

0:52:17.520 --> 0:52:19.239
<v Speaker 1>You want to hear the spring performance twenty two ap

0:52:19.280 --> 0:52:23.759
<v Speaker 1>bats point zero four or five batting average. Okay, he's

0:52:23.800 --> 0:52:28.000
<v Speaker 1>not hitting anything right now, showing no power right and

0:52:28.080 --> 0:52:29.920
<v Speaker 1>on top of which, he's moving now to the Seattle

0:52:29.960 --> 0:52:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Ballpark away from Cincinnati. I just don't like this move.

0:52:32.600 --> 0:52:35.439
<v Speaker 1>I think people are overrating him based on the fact

0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that someone traded for him. He's a nice baseball player.

0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.759
<v Speaker 1>But I'm telling you, if the power regresses and he

0:52:40.800 --> 0:52:42.319
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have that same kind of run, he had a

0:52:42.360 --> 0:52:45.839
<v Speaker 1>magnificent month of baseball last year and that power was fantastic,

0:52:45.840 --> 0:52:48.200
<v Speaker 1>And I agree. I was in that train, going Okay,

0:52:48.600 --> 0:52:50.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe Jesse Winker has turned this corner, and if he's

0:52:51.000 --> 0:52:53.160
<v Speaker 1>going to turn it, Cincinnai's a hell of a place

0:52:53.160 --> 0:52:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to sustain it. I'm just concerned that he can't sustain it.

0:52:56.160 --> 0:52:58.400
<v Speaker 1>If he was crushing the ball this spring, maybe I

0:52:58.400 --> 0:53:00.640
<v Speaker 1>would feel a little bit more comfortable arm and Fuzzy

0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and my Tom Tom about it. But I don't, I don't,

0:53:03.320 --> 0:53:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and I don't like this point zero four to five

0:53:05.239 --> 0:53:08.200
<v Speaker 1>batting average and spring spring can get overrated. Well, you

0:53:08.239 --> 0:53:10.080
<v Speaker 1>couple that with a move from a great power hitting

0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:12.440
<v Speaker 1>ballpark to it not as great power hitting ballpark, not

0:53:12.480 --> 0:53:14.640
<v Speaker 1>saying you can't hit them runs there. But Winker's been

0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>more of a contact guy than a power guy in

0:53:16.760 --> 0:53:19.080
<v Speaker 1>his career either. Sometimes I left you right, he splits

0:53:19.200 --> 0:53:22.240
<v Speaker 1>two against pitchers have been less than thrilling with Winker

0:53:22.239 --> 0:53:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and his career. Also, I think there's a lot more

0:53:24.280 --> 0:53:26.799
<v Speaker 1>risk than people realize. So that's where I am.

0:53:26.840 --> 0:53:28.759
<v Speaker 3>And the only thing I don't like about it is

0:53:28.800 --> 0:53:31.480
<v Speaker 3>where people are giving Brian Reynolds the pass if he's

0:53:31.520 --> 0:53:33.720
<v Speaker 3>the funnest, coolest guy to draft on the planet.

0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:34.359
<v Speaker 1>He is.

0:53:34.520 --> 0:53:37.920
<v Speaker 3>They're the same player, Jesse Winkers are the exact same player,

0:53:38.320 --> 0:53:41.759
<v Speaker 3>and right now, Jessin Winker plays on an exponentially better

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:43.799
<v Speaker 3>offensive team if you get now, if Reynolds gets straighted

0:53:43.800 --> 0:53:45.960
<v Speaker 3>to the padres, that's maybe a little different story. But

0:53:46.040 --> 0:53:48.799
<v Speaker 3>I just feel like there's they're the exact same guy,

0:53:49.040 --> 0:53:51.880
<v Speaker 3>and everyone loves Reynolds and now everybody hates Winker. So

0:53:51.920 --> 0:53:53.279
<v Speaker 3>I just don't I don't buy it.

0:53:54.640 --> 0:53:58.040
<v Speaker 1>This is good. Debate is good, difference of opinion good.

0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:00.200
<v Speaker 1>We shall see how this one ends up at the

0:54:00.280 --> 0:54:02.359
<v Speaker 1>end of the day. But he is Team Winker. I

0:54:02.400 --> 0:54:05.040
<v Speaker 1>am not. Now, we promise you at the beginning of

0:54:05.080 --> 0:54:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the show, a few little draft tips here to close

0:54:07.520 --> 0:54:09.799
<v Speaker 1>things out as we're heading into the final draft season

0:54:09.840 --> 0:54:12.279
<v Speaker 1>where we're giving you all the tools here fantasy pros

0:54:12.320 --> 0:54:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to be successful. We're giving you all the podcasts, all

0:54:15.000 --> 0:54:17.759
<v Speaker 1>the YouTube stuff, all the knowledge we have, our our

0:54:17.800 --> 0:54:20.560
<v Speaker 1>own little cheat sheets and our draft strategy guides. That

0:54:20.600 --> 0:54:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Welsh put out that I put out, Bachmann put one

0:54:22.560 --> 0:54:25.480
<v Speaker 1>out to. I think Cleig put one out there. I

0:54:25.520 --> 0:54:27.319
<v Speaker 1>want to say, Mayor probably put one out there also.

0:54:27.400 --> 0:54:31.160
<v Speaker 1>They probably let Yeah, they probably let Mayor they mayor.

0:54:30.960 --> 0:54:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Go do something.

0:54:31.680 --> 0:54:35.239
<v Speaker 1>That's what they say. Ryan on that list, Ryan Mountcastle,

0:54:35.280 --> 0:54:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it's round one, Ryan Mountcastle, Round two. Uh,

0:54:38.239 --> 0:54:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Moultcastle, Round three, round four, Ryan Mountcastle. Right.

0:54:42.400 --> 0:54:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:54:43.920 --> 0:54:45.920
<v Speaker 1>But here's some other tips that won't want to give you.

0:54:45.960 --> 0:54:48.600
<v Speaker 1>And the first one is draft good assets.

0:54:48.760 --> 0:54:50.120
<v Speaker 2>And what I mean.

0:54:50.000 --> 0:54:52.319
<v Speaker 1>By this is, well, that sounds really stupid, but I

0:54:52.320 --> 0:54:55.319
<v Speaker 1>think people get too hung up on trying to fill

0:54:55.360 --> 0:54:59.839
<v Speaker 1>out their team instead of drafting core roster strength. If

0:54:59.840 --> 0:55:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the outfield market comes to you, hammer that outfield market,

0:55:02.880 --> 0:55:05.800
<v Speaker 1>If the pitching market comes to you, hammer that pitching market.

0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Whatever the value is in the draft. Over the course

0:55:08.040 --> 0:55:09.520
<v Speaker 1>of the year. You can make trades, you can make

0:55:09.520 --> 0:55:12.320
<v Speaker 1>waiver pickups. There's going to be movement in the league.

0:55:12.640 --> 0:55:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Use your draft, especially salary cap driven drafts, to acquire

0:55:17.480 --> 0:55:20.000
<v Speaker 1>good assets, because the more talent you have on your roster,

0:55:20.360 --> 0:55:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the better your roster is going to be, and the

0:55:22.520 --> 0:55:24.759
<v Speaker 1>better it will be over the long run as other

0:55:24.840 --> 0:55:28.239
<v Speaker 1>things inevitably do happen, like injuries or miss time. I

0:55:28.280 --> 0:55:30.200
<v Speaker 1>know they've changed the rules a little bit this year too,

0:55:30.239 --> 0:55:31.640
<v Speaker 1>so the pitchers have to go in the IL for

0:55:31.680 --> 0:55:34.839
<v Speaker 1>fifteen days, position players ten, which is good because now

0:55:34.840 --> 0:55:36.799
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to that manipulation anymore that you had

0:55:36.840 --> 0:55:38.680
<v Speaker 1>in the system in the last few years. But I'm

0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:41.000
<v Speaker 1>telling you right now, we know the inevitability is going

0:55:41.040 --> 0:55:43.839
<v Speaker 1>to happen. We're're going to lose players. Get as much

0:55:43.880 --> 0:55:46.200
<v Speaker 1>talent as you can on your roster. That's what your

0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:49.080
<v Speaker 1>draft is for. You'll fill out your team. Don't worry

0:55:49.120 --> 0:55:52.360
<v Speaker 1>about it. It'll all work out in the end. Draft assets,

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:55.600
<v Speaker 1>especially in dynasty keeper leagues. Don't get hung up on

0:55:55.719 --> 0:55:58.920
<v Speaker 1>positions so much or filling out your team. There's ways

0:55:58.960 --> 0:56:00.919
<v Speaker 1>to get that done. Give me one of your draft.

0:56:01.239 --> 0:56:03.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, I just want to add in I'm going to

0:56:03.120 --> 0:56:06.080
<v Speaker 3>jump to my second one because I didn't read how

0:56:06.120 --> 0:56:09.080
<v Speaker 3>you wrote yours. How you just said it. It's literally

0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:11.919
<v Speaker 3>the same thing how I wrote mine was don't stress

0:56:11.960 --> 0:56:15.080
<v Speaker 3>about positions early where people are like, ooh, I already

0:56:15.120 --> 0:56:17.080
<v Speaker 3>got a short stop. I mean, you just said everything,

0:56:17.120 --> 0:56:18.520
<v Speaker 3>so I don't need to repeat it. But that was

0:56:18.560 --> 0:56:22.040
<v Speaker 3>my take as well, is don't worry about going nuts

0:56:22.040 --> 0:56:25.360
<v Speaker 3>about roster construction and getting the best players. Plenty of

0:56:25.400 --> 0:56:27.640
<v Speaker 3>great players might take two short stops in the first

0:56:27.680 --> 0:56:30.520
<v Speaker 3>four rounds. You can make it work with middle and shortstop.

0:56:30.600 --> 0:56:32.240
<v Speaker 2>You can do or even utility.

0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:34.719
<v Speaker 1>If you've got great players on the board, take the

0:56:34.760 --> 0:56:35.520
<v Speaker 1>great players.

0:56:35.680 --> 0:56:36.960
<v Speaker 2>This is RPV. One on one.

0:56:37.080 --> 0:56:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Create an advantage somewhere. Otherwise you're just a mediocre team

0:56:40.160 --> 0:56:40.640
<v Speaker 1>in the middle.

0:56:40.840 --> 0:56:43.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So I'm gonna move to the second one because

0:56:43.160 --> 0:56:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I agree with that one of and it's kind of

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:48.080
<v Speaker 3>in line with even your second one as well. But

0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:54.480
<v Speaker 3>it's take closers with actual jobs. Like there's a theory

0:56:54.800 --> 0:56:56.759
<v Speaker 3>across the board, and you're going to kind of talk

0:56:56.760 --> 0:56:58.520
<v Speaker 3>about it how you can treat closers. But at the

0:56:58.600 --> 0:56:59.960
<v Speaker 3>end of the day, this is just a way of

0:57:00.120 --> 0:57:03.560
<v Speaker 3>me saying get your closers early that you know have gigs.

0:57:03.640 --> 0:57:06.480
<v Speaker 3>You can speculate and people will win. There will be

0:57:06.520 --> 0:57:10.520
<v Speaker 3>winners early in drafts or in April and in waivers

0:57:10.880 --> 0:57:13.040
<v Speaker 3>on guys that get some closer gigs and that you

0:57:13.320 --> 0:57:15.680
<v Speaker 3>made it out of it. But you don't have to

0:57:15.680 --> 0:57:18.440
<v Speaker 3>play the game. If you get involved and you get

0:57:18.800 --> 0:57:22.240
<v Speaker 3>class as, or you get Haters or Hendrix or Iglesias

0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:25.760
<v Speaker 3>or Craig Kimberl's, you get those guys, be the one

0:57:25.800 --> 0:57:29.200
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't have to chase and doesn't have volatility and

0:57:29.320 --> 0:57:33.120
<v Speaker 3>loses their gigs. Your roster construction will feel better and

0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:36.080
<v Speaker 3>you won't have to chase those saves later, which again,

0:57:36.160 --> 0:57:38.240
<v Speaker 3>some people can make it work. If you've got a

0:57:38.240 --> 0:57:41.200
<v Speaker 3>plan and maybe you're gonna go really heavy starting pitching

0:57:41.240 --> 0:57:43.040
<v Speaker 3>and you're gonna just go for cheap guys, you can

0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:46.160
<v Speaker 3>do that. That's a solid pivot. But I prefer to get,

0:57:46.320 --> 0:57:48.920
<v Speaker 3>especially in Rode, to get my lockdown saves guys this

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:51.960
<v Speaker 3>year that have gigs without question marks. So I'm not

0:57:52.120 --> 0:57:54.880
<v Speaker 3>playing around this year and I'm getting the top closers.

0:57:55.960 --> 0:57:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I was just in my head, all I kept thinking

0:57:57.680 --> 0:58:01.960
<v Speaker 1>was take the card jobs mark. Yeah, they took our jobs.

0:58:02.440 --> 0:58:06.160
<v Speaker 1>For me, it's don't overpay for mid tier closers, whether

0:58:06.160 --> 0:58:08.800
<v Speaker 1>they have job security or not. You can find a

0:58:08.840 --> 0:58:11.000
<v Speaker 1>guy laid on a bad team, maybe it's a Gregory

0:58:11.040 --> 0:58:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Soto or somebody else later saves or saves at the

0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:15.640
<v Speaker 1>end of the day. Yeah, some of the ratios blah

0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:18.439
<v Speaker 1>blah blah, saves or saves, and those jobs are gonna

0:58:18.440 --> 0:58:21.760
<v Speaker 1>turn over. They do every year. Don't pass on good

0:58:21.920 --> 0:58:25.760
<v Speaker 1>quality depth in that mid like one fifty ish range

0:58:26.480 --> 0:58:29.120
<v Speaker 1>for guys who may or may not be closers. It's

0:58:29.520 --> 0:58:32.200
<v Speaker 1>absolute fantasy death. And my last one here for me

0:58:32.560 --> 0:58:37.640
<v Speaker 1>is attack that one a slash high end SP two

0:58:37.760 --> 0:58:40.880
<v Speaker 1>market this year. To me, that is a very profitable

0:58:40.920 --> 0:58:44.840
<v Speaker 1>place to attack. It's that Freddie Peralta Giolito all the

0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:47.720
<v Speaker 1>way down to you know, the older guys like Verlander

0:58:47.720 --> 0:58:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and Charlie Morton. To me, it's okay to start your

0:58:51.200 --> 0:58:54.360
<v Speaker 1>roster with two offensive players, even in a points league,

0:58:54.760 --> 0:58:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and then just hammer this pitching market after that. Trevor Rodgers,

0:58:57.800 --> 0:58:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna make a huge step forward. There's

0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot lot of guys in this tier that I

0:59:02.200 --> 0:59:04.919
<v Speaker 1>think have huge upside to perform, like aces this year.

0:59:05.080 --> 0:59:07.240
<v Speaker 1>So that's just more of a not a general strategy,

0:59:07.280 --> 0:59:10.560
<v Speaker 1>it's specific for twenty twenty twenty two. Welsh, what's your

0:59:10.640 --> 0:59:13.240
<v Speaker 1>last draft tip for everybody's we send them off into

0:59:13.280 --> 0:59:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the weekend.

0:59:14.120 --> 0:59:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're gonna be adults. We're gonna send you off

0:59:15.800 --> 0:59:17.680
<v Speaker 3>to college and you're gonna draft and you're gonna be

0:59:17.720 --> 0:59:19.280
<v Speaker 3>all growns up. It's all growns up.

0:59:19.280 --> 0:59:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Mikey's growns all growns up, and Welsh and I are

0:59:21.200 --> 0:59:23.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna cry and have empty nest syndrome because we're so

0:59:23.320 --> 0:59:25.360
<v Speaker 1>proud of you. I so far you've come.

0:59:25.720 --> 0:59:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Pay attention to steals. I'm not saying overpay, and I'm

0:59:29.600 --> 0:59:34.720
<v Speaker 3>not saying don't overpay. I'm saying, pay attention to steals.

0:59:35.120 --> 0:59:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Watch it as it goes along in the draft. Pay

0:59:36.840 --> 0:59:39.000
<v Speaker 3>attention to the people that are doing it. You can

0:59:39.040 --> 0:59:41.840
<v Speaker 3>get steals all over. I tend to. Here's a nice

0:59:41.880 --> 0:59:44.200
<v Speaker 3>thing about the top round guys. A lot of them steal,

0:59:44.320 --> 0:59:46.280
<v Speaker 3>and I kind of want those guys because they're consistent.

0:59:46.560 --> 0:59:48.920
<v Speaker 3>There's some middle guys that are gonna get you stolen bases.

0:59:49.080 --> 0:59:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Frankie Lindor pay attention later in drafts. Do you have

0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:55.920
<v Speaker 3>to overreach for Miles Straw. No you don't, but pay

0:59:55.960 --> 1:00:00.560
<v Speaker 3>attention Andrew Benintendi, Ahmed Rosario, there's late stone and Basis,

1:00:00.680 --> 1:00:05.080
<v Speaker 3>Josh Rojas, even Aj Pollock steals. There are late stolen bases.

1:00:05.160 --> 1:00:07.720
<v Speaker 3>If you get one or two core guys, you can

1:00:07.800 --> 1:00:10.680
<v Speaker 3>easily find three to four other ten plus stolen base

1:00:10.720 --> 1:00:13.320
<v Speaker 3>guys as you move along in the draft. So pay

1:00:13.360 --> 1:00:17.080
<v Speaker 3>attention to steals without going one direction or the other.

1:00:17.160 --> 1:00:18.760
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's going to help you out.

1:00:19.480 --> 1:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, So we've given you all. Wee can the
