It is Meet Joey 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.520 p joe Piece Apa, and today it's about the bus. 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:11.520 That's right, it's the Monday we're recording this. 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:15.720 Everybody's grouchy, and everybody's always got problems on Mondays, and 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.000 we've got problems with some players. And to help break 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.720 down the all bust team for twenty twenty three is 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.599 of course my podcast partner, The Wels. You can follow 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:25.560 him on the Twitter machine at is it the Welsh 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.680 and we brought in a big gun today from Rodo 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.080 Wire and of course from Fangrafts, the one, the Only 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.120 Jason Collett. Follow him on Twitter at Jason Collett and 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.279 Jason Collette. I saw you not that long ago and 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.600 we had some fun talk. We were buying back into 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.600 Gavin Lux. It was a simpler time about a week ago. 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.440 And now I gotta tell you, I love you. You're 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.440 one of my favorite people, but I hate your list. 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.280 A lot of your players are some of my favorite 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.440 guys going into twenty twenty three. So one of us 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.280 is either going to be really right or really wrong. 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:53.479 And somebody's gonna be depressed. 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.120 Yeah, I figured it was gonna create some controversy. Look 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.240 at that. I wanted to make sure I picked different 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.040 names than what Welch has as I didn't want to 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:02.960 be like, oh, that was my guy. So I wanted 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.880 to go through some things and I was like, you know, 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.440 some of these are going to be like what are 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.520 you thinking? Jay, So we'll see. I hope I give 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.360 you at least something to think about with a completely 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:13.920 pissing yap. 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.560 You know, Jason, I kind of wish we could have, like, 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.720 had you get to this first, so we could have 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.280 seen what those names look like on here, because there 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.440 are two on here that make me very upset, very 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.360 very upset. It also maybe means that you would have 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.240 had some of my guys, which I'm kind of excited 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:29.520 to see. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:30.200 And for everybody. 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.920 I also attempted to pick like a few different names. 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.319 We've talked a lot about Bus recently. You may know 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.080 some of them that I may have taken. I went 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:39.640 in a little bit of a different direction for some 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.640 different bus. But Joe, sometimes I can't help myself with 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.880 a few of these guys. I just have to continuously 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.720 keep calling them bus and when they're amazing this year, 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:48.920 everyone will remind. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.520 Me, well, let's she's what I have a huge problem 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.240 with because he's on two of my rosters already. So 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:54.640 I'm my god, I've got to hear what you have 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:55.200 to say there. 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.560 Oh well, well, why's what we get out of the way. 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.960 I mean, because you have basically every chance you've had, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.400 you've taken shots. 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.840 At Dalton var Show. So let's just get that out 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:03.200 of the way. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.280 Clean slate for those who might not have ever heard 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.560 a podcast here between the two of us, give them 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.280 why Dalton var Show is going to be a bust 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:11.040 at twenty twenty three. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:11.519 A catcher. 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.880 I'm trying to be like level about it, like Dalton 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.880 Varshow is still going to be a very fine player. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.280 My biggest issue has been where he's going. NFBC drafts 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.200 lead a lot of this, and you know, pointing out 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.800 like if you go to Fantasy pros ADP is manipulated 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:28.079 by all of the places. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:29.280 It's an aggregate system. 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.919 NFBC plays a big role in that, and NFBC pushes 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.880 up catchers, and I think that generally pushes these guys 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.480 up to a level that I just don't think I'm 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.720 super comfortable with because I think the position is kind 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.560 of deep, obviously pull heavy. I think he's going to 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.840 struggle versus lefties. There's the potential that I'm not going 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.800 to say there's going to be any platoons or anything 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.280 like that, but you never know if he's going to 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.520 get out versus lefties. I don't know if he's going 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.960 to run as much. And I've exhaustingly said that. You know, 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.639 Toronto was in the bottom third of the league and 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.240 stolen attempts, while the Diamondbacks were like the top five 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.640 overall teams in stolen base attempt They're gonna go up 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.360 in general, but those stolen bases come down. The average 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.399 kind of stinks a little bit, and the homers pop 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.400 down a little bit. Why would that be more valuable 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.800 by twenty rounds in Adlie Rutchman. Why would that be 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.640 more valuable than fifty rounds on Salvador Perez or going 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.359 even further. I could just keep listening catcher names. I'd 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.600 rather not make the investment early on, even though he 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.560 does qualify at another position. So I think, like top 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.720 fifty five is just bust material for me. It's gonna 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.600 be really hard I think for him to return that value. 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.400 I say all of that, and then he's gonna be 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.440 you know, thirty twenty and I'll just eat pro. 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.120 Yeah, it's funny you should mention Adlie Rutchman in that 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.640 conversation because that's the guy that collect chos at A 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.600 good friend, Ryan Warmley, the worm, mister Oriole himself is 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.600 not gonna be happy about this. But Adley Rushman's certainly 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.160 a name that's been you know, highly towed the last 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.600 few years. You know, got some time in last year, 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:48.880 looked pretty good doing it. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.560 But it's always the difficulty. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.160 Of young catchers, I feel like, who have to manage 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.640 a pitching staff and really learn all that, where sometimes 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.760 their offense takes a second fiddle or the back seat 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.520 to that. So is that you're concern with Rushman or 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.800 is something else he saw last year in his performance 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.200 that worries you about twenty twenty three? 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.600 Yeah? Really, no more what you just talked about there? 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.480 And if so, there was an excellent interview a couple 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.880 of weeks ago, our buddy you know, Sarah's interviewed Stephen 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.360 Vote on the podcast and Steve and you know he 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.560 now Vote is now working with the Seattle organization. But 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.200 he talked about the amount of work that went into 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.080 every game and all the prep of what he had 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.000 to do every single game, and Joe, as you said, 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.160 a lot of these rookie catchers, they have to do 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.160 all of that stuff and hitting is almost like a 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.719 secondary thing. And this is no slight against Adlee Rudchman. 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.400 I love him as a real baseball player. I just 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.799 think there's a gap between the real and the fantasy 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.400 that's not being addressed in the current marketplace right now. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.080 And that's only so when you look at his ADP 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.600 it's high and Welch you said it with I'd rather 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.880 have Perez all day long, and Perez is going that 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.840 is going lower than Rutchman is. And I would say 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.640 another point to your point about the catchers being inflated. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.880 Let's not forget between between varshow between Lendes, between Langoliers, 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.039 and between Garver. We potentially have four catchers that are 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.680 either being drafted because we know they're not going to 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.039 play catcher or in hopes that they're going to play catch. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.919 So it's like Langoliers is a projected CE one, but 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.680 you can't draft him as a C one in most 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.159 in most formats right now, and so you're seeing that 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.520 value get pushed up. You're seeing Mitch Garver because he's 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.760 already caught as of yesterday two games in spring just 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.960 need you know, need to get the ten game in NFBC, 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.520 need to get into five in some leagues, some leagues 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.920 even one, and so you're like, let's do this. So 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.120 some of that catchup value is coming up. But for Retchman, 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.320 I see a lot of I see a lot of 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.039 that gap where it's like he's a great real player 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.680 and I saw him play a number of times coming 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.400 here through Charlotte last year before he got promoted with that, 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.120 but I'm not where the marketplace is on him. And 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.680 that's why I have zero I have zero shares and 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:49.680 all the drafts I've done. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.320 And the only edition I want to make to this 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.000 is I am generally any top one hundred catcher is 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.600 just not going to be my thing. So I'm just 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.840 not going to have interested and interested in catcher one. Yeah, 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:02.600 So don't like I pick on bar Show a little bit, 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:03.960 but that's just kind of like all of them. 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.520 Give me Wilson Contreras, give me William Contreras. Give me 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:07.839 a contraris. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.719 Highest ketcher I've taken so far this whole draft season. 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.880 With Sean Murphy in an auction, I paid sixteen and 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.159 I was a keeper league. It's I'm with you, guys. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.359 I tend I'm not if you if somebody, if you 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.919 see my draft board, I took a catcher on the 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.599 top one hundred. It was either because JT. Real Mutle 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.640 fell quite a bit or somebody's kidnapped me. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.279 Right, got to do a wellness check on Collette. Let's 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.000 go to the first basement here collect long did you 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.719 start with this one? Who is your twenty twenty three 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.000 bust at that position? 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:33.560 Potentially? 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.560 So I went with Nathaniel low here with Texas, and 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.320 when you look at him last year he hit over 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.080 three hundred, kind of out of nowhere, and what you 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:42.520 look at you have to take a look at the 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.240 spray chart, and this is one of those things where 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.800 I look at the law of unintended consequences with the 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.560 new defensive rules. If you look at the way he 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.599 hit last year, he had a lot of soft contact 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.160 the other direction because the defense was giving it to him, 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.120 and he's like, fine, I'll take it. But there you 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.520 see a lot of infield hits going that direction where 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.560 there's going to be a fielder this year. And you 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.880 look at the aggregate projections for him, most people have 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.040 him down in the two sixties. And that's that's quite 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:07.600 a drop from a guy to hit over three hundred 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.120 last year and the aggregates have them down where they 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.560 have them with that and one of the weaknesses that's 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.760 been in his profile. And I would say this applies 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.440 to his brother too. I would assume they have the 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.760 same hitting coach because they have the exact same swing. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.640 You know, it's like they have struggled with velocity up 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.160 And so when I saw Nathaniel Lowe breaking out last year, 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.240 I'm like, okay, it has to be he closed his hole. Well, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.200 you go look at the data. He hasn't the league 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.960 just for whatever reason, it wasn't pitching him there as much, 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.040 and he was deciding, okay, I'm just gonna slap it 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.960 the other way and give me what the defense gives me. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.720 So somebody who took that kind of stuff forward in 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.320 one year, I'm concerned about taking that kind of step back. 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.160 I don't really see it playing out in the marketplace 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.400 right now. But that's somebody that I've been avoiding myself. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.280 Look, it's a player that in first pase is not 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.600 super deep. This year, you know, there's certainly a drop 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.640 off and looking at last year's status. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:53.160 You hope that it holds. 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.800 But you make a good point, like there's a lot 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.920 of reason to believe that maybe the batting average of 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:58.440 very least does not now Welsh. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:07:59.800 When we look at the first basement on. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.720 Your all Bus team, it's another player who might be 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.240 moving up in his lineup too, which could affect potentially 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.720 his RBI totals. He saw him hidden in the two 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.920 spot this weekend over there for the Philadelphia Phillies. Let's 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:12.200 talk about Reee Hoskins. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.000 Yeah, I picked on Reese simply because well, obviously a 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:17.800 couple of reasons, but like one of the biggest ones 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.120 is this injury that he had the knee surgery in December. 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.320 I believe he's getting in a game where he got 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.120 in Sunday or it's today, it's like right around right now, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.200 he's just getting into spring, which is a little bit 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.480 of a setback, which I don't love. Lineup potentially moving up, 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:35.640 you could look at RBI opportunities come down. Also, XBA 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.400 we expected batting average is lower than his batting averages 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.120 past year. He's had an increase in his k percentage 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.280 for three straight years, hard hit percentage kind of gone down, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.640 exit average, exit velocity kind of leveling down about a 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.840 mile per hour. So you take all those into consideration, 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.880 and you look at where he's being drafted, you say, 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:52.880 first base is in deep. 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:53.520 I don't want to call it. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:54.840 I don't want to make it like, oh, you could 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:58.040 just wait forever. But I think it's like you're shopping 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.280 in different pools. So it's like, if you know you're 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.240 shopping in, you know, a high end department store, you're 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.360 getting in the top end, middle end, You're gonna start 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.640 shopping at Target. But if, like, if you're comfortable shopping 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.160 at Walmart, I think you can just be comfortable shopping 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.200 at Walmart with these first Basement and I think there's 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.439 like six or seven of them, and Ree Hoskins isn't one. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.400 His cost comes at nine as far as first baseman, 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.280 and he's kind of the upper tier of Walmart first Basement. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:23.800 I think you've got Christian Walker C J. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.400 Kron. I really like my Ryan Mount Castle and Rowdy Telez. 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.960 I just would rather move away from Reese Cott Hoskins 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.880 with some of those decreases, with the injury stuff that's 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.520 going on, and pay a much cheaper price, potentially three 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.160 or four or five first basement lower for what I 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.240 think would be relatively the same production. I mean, he 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.400 hadn't expected batting average it was under two forty. He 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.679 hit two forty. I believe it was two thirty six. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.080 I can probably get that out of Rowdy Teles with 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.080 a bigger home run potential and probably pretty close to 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.800 run in RBI totals, and it'll probably fifty or sixty 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.320 picks later. So I'm gonna pass on Reee Hoskins and 0:09:58.360 --> 0:09:59.920 he's going to be my all bus first base. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.680 Well, you can also play Devil's advocate and said maybe 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.240 he performed like that with some of his expected stats 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.000 last year because of that injury. He was trying to 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.120 play through that, so you know what happens there. I 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.120 would also not rule out you know, as you were 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.439 talking about the different tiers of shopping for first base. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:14.040 You know this. 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.360 We're also in the season where daily news events move things. 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.120 It's like a week ago, Oh no, Jose Miranda. The 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.240 shoulder is problematic, and then he hits two home runs 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.120 the other day, so okay, now we're all back in 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.200 Jose Miranda. So and oh he plays first and third, 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.080 so that's all fun too. So daily events move the 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:34.080 needle on something. So as we alarm McGavin lux's acl. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.960 Well, sometimes they move them in a very very negative direction. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:37.560 Room down. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.000 Let's go to second base, gentlemen, and let's talk about 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.880 a guy who actually had a bounce back year last year, 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.600 but apparently the Welsh isn't buying it. Who's the second 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:46.680 basement on your bus team? 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:47.360 Okay? 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.360 So I actually really struggle with this one because of 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.320 what we've talked about before. The position is not great. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.880 It really kind of stinks towards the middle end. So 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.480 it's like, do I want to pick on the top guys. 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.480 I kind of thought about Ozzie Albi's because Jason is 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.199 about to just ruin my day and ruin everybody's with 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.000 all the positive things we talked about with the guy 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.600 I love more than anybody, So can you really have 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.599 post one hundred and second basemen that are going to 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.640 kind of flop? So my point was picking on with 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.920 Labor Torres is. You know, he's got a lot of competition. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.120 That team seems like they are really opening up the 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:23.160 possibility of Anthony Volpi and Oswald Perrazza being there sooner 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.200 rather than later. There's a lot of trade rumors that 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.840 were going on. I don't know if they fully fully 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.960 believe in what he did last year. Again, you have 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.319 another instance of like an expected batting average, it is 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.400 quite a bit lower. He hit the ball a ton harder, 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.640 but where he's going as far as second basement is 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.960 the eighth overall second basement. So really the bus side 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.840 of this is like feeling comfortable and not taking one 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.520 of those guys to get Glabor Torres. I think it's 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.080 going to be a big disappointment. So when I'm looking 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:51.800 at these guys, what I want. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:52.920 Because there's a big tear drop here. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.640 By the way, seven and up is inside the top 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.120 one hundred eighty fifth according to Fantasy pros overall is 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.800 Andre Simenez, and that's a seventh second basement. Then you 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.160 drop like twenty spots and you go into the next guy, 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.960 which is Glabor Torres. Would I rather pay a close 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.280 to one hundred price with that type of gap for Torres, 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.200 or take Monsey later, or take a bounce back on 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.439 Brandon Lowe. At the end of the day, I'd rather 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.720 take any of the top seven. And he is the 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.120 representative of the first bit where I hate second base, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.520 so he is kind of the culprit here. Plus I 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.160 do think the team is really opening up that opportunity 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.040 to get him out of here sooner rather than later. 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:28.120 You know what's funny. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.640 I'm looking at Tho the opportunities or where he might 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.880 land in such a speculative trade, and the only one 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.880 that really came to mind for me was the Dodgers 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.559 now because they've got some open season issues now in 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.199 the middle infield, he could play shortstop, he could play second, 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:42.200 depending on how you want to. 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.480 Move those things around. So there's not a lot of 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:45.320 suitors out there. 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.360 Were like everything matches up for the New York Yankees 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.240 and for Labor Torres. But you're right if they think 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.800 that last year was hey, let's get out before the 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.440 you know, the bottom drops out again, Torres, that could 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.400 certainly be something to keep an eye on later in 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.240 the year. Let's take a quick break in the action 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.200 to tell you about animal I love live events, but 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.199 I hate buying tickets, the hidden fees they suck. It's 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.079 like paying for a whole other person who's not even 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.480 there to be there with you at the event, and 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.439 customer service is terrible and coordinating with friends is a nightmare. 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.040 But then I discovered fanimal and fannamal has tickets to 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.640 everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, you name it, and Major 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.760 League Baseball. And plus there's no fees. The price you 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.440 see is actually the price you pay. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.439 What a concept. You heard it here first. 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.160 Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.160 MLB tickets. And we've all experienced how painful it is 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.000 to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:37.960 end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.680 down the friends to get reimbursed, and if. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.320 They flake, I'm stuck with the whole bill. 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:45.280 But f Animal's patentent group purchase makes it easy to 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.520 split payments with your friends, so nobody's left holding the 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.080 bag and you don't have to commit until your friends do. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:52.959 So just pick the seats, pick. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.080 How many tickets you want to pay for yourself, and 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.200 then send the link to your friends.

Let's get to your 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.280 second base bust Jason Collett, who is it? 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.760 Let's break hearts chism? And I will say this, I love, 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:41.240 I love. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.680 That you're a liar. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:43.920 You do not actually. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.080 Hate him, you hate him him being a ust you. 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.720 Know, I love. I love that he's on the cover 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.880 of the video gay. I love the last year, you know, 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.400 James Anderson and I were like on the front end 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.840 of this is this is a guy, Let's let's stay in. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.320 People were trying to fade them out, and I remember 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.360 James and I have been very aggressive with him. But 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.320 my big concern is he's had trouble staying on the field. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.760 He's moving from second base to center field, which is 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.800 a position that puts them at more risk from injury. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.640 So you have that position switch in a big part 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.440 for him to cover some ground with help, with not 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.560 as much help on either side of him that he 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.920 should have. That's really where my concern is. It's not 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.880 his abilities, it's all the other factors that play into it. 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.160 And when you see when you see him inside the 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.480 top fifty, that's where my concern is with him. I 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.160 struggle to see how he's going to achieve that return 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.720 on investment with those factors playing against him. It's nothing 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.440 about anything else that I see in his profile outside 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.160 of that health grade, which is is tough to ignore, 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.480 and the fact that he's moving to a tougher physical 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:46.600 position than second base. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:48.000 It's tough to nore. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.280 And I think you make a great point there about 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.400 everything which isn't It is also sometimes we get wrapped 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.320 up in the excitement of a player, you know, and 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:56.360 that happens quite a bit. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:57.680 But last year, the guy. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.320 Who played sixty games, I mean it was a fun 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.000 sixty games, fourteen homers, twelve still on bases. You know 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.720 a lot of things and a flashy, entertaining something that's 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.000 you know, fun to watch. That fun to watch factor 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.960 sometimes gets you in trouble in fantasy. You want guys 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.360 that are fun to play every day. And certainly there's 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.720 some tenuous situations there potentially for Jassism and the ADP range. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.280 He's going in. Let's go to third. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.040
