Speaker 1: three Christina doesn't want to kill you know, she knows
Speaker 1: what what's up? You know? What? Did? She just like
Speaker 1: do her her thing in like another room, like, well,
Speaker 1: she usually comes home later. I usually do when I
Speaker 1: go home afternoon before. So that's the venture time. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and then after that I'll look, you know, watch games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course baseball makes sense. Who cooks in the in
Speaker 1: the venture households? I'll cook like once a week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you? What's your something? You know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying a little still for Asians? Taking something Italian? You
Speaker 1: know what's crazy? I gotta start Friday night? Could I
Speaker 1: start frid night? It is good, it's good. We have
Speaker 1: just threw a bunch of vegetables in a pot. You
Speaker 1: put some meat done. It's great. You need to walk though,
Speaker 1: we got we got the walk you gotta walk to
Speaker 1: I don't have a walk though. You gotta get go
Speaker 1: getting married, you gotta walk. Put it on the registry.
Speaker 1: Put walk, look at this guy. Registry I don't have yet.
Speaker 1: I mean all we wanted money. If you come and
Speaker 1: you you give us something other than money, you gotta
Speaker 1: you can get engagement presents, which is what the registry
Speaker 1: spot and then you need to check after that. I'm
Speaker 1: not having engagement party, Greg, I didn't have one. Either
Speaker 1: didn't have one. I didn't So I mean, how would
Speaker 1: I you know, I would you set up a registry
Speaker 1: for engagement gifts? You just give you presents. Nobody does that.
Speaker 1: Like if someone somebody said I can show you that.
Speaker 1: If you sent me a registry and said, hey, Frank,
Speaker 1: I got engaged, if you want to give me a gift,
Speaker 1: I would laugh. No, even if I would ever say that,
Speaker 1: you just people people engagement party. No, people get people
Speaker 1: get gifts and be like okay people, if you're serving
Speaker 1: gifts for being engaged. Nobody gave me. But you know
Speaker 1: some people give us like the little I countdown things
Speaker 1: and yeah, if we set up a registry a cold
Speaker 1: months after we got engaged, people have gotten as gifts,
Speaker 1: they will vangue us a check on our wedding. We
Speaker 1: have not had an engagement party. We will not be
Speaker 1: having an engagement party. Well, the engagement you guys missing
Speaker 1: out on money and the engagement party though, that's why
Speaker 1: you make money. Also lose money though we're not having
Speaker 1: You gotta pay to have a party, you know, you
Speaker 1: get all the money back you try, don't because you
Speaker 1: try to have a cheaper engagement party, like you know,
Speaker 1: having like a backyard. So we thought it was just
Speaker 1: it was like a lot, a lot to ask for people.
Speaker 1: So we're not doing engagement party, but we got gifts.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of gifts. That makes good sense
Speaker 1: to me. Hey, guys, we're engaged. We're not having a party, right,
Speaker 1: but give us a gift. But you get it president
Speaker 1: for being engaged. People get a present for the engagement
Speaker 1: and you get a resent for getting married. Yes, it
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me. This is what the
Speaker 1: world is. Because what the world is, man, you should
Speaker 1: be what. It surprises me zero that Greg Susman is
Speaker 1: the one that's taking advantage of this. It's surprising he's
Speaker 1: having an engaged your party to get more money. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I already did have my you already had one. I
Speaker 1: made a nice chunk. I didn't do that. I didn't
Speaker 1: do it either. You still can't you have people, you
Speaker 1: know what other people's engaging parties. Actually, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like can hear from now? He's like, I think
Speaker 1: we're just gonna go away somewhere. We're gonna go to
Speaker 1: boor Bora. I think is it gett married there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well you're not gonna have a big reception or anything.
Speaker 1: No one's gonna come because it's gonna be of course,
Speaker 1: it's like, of course a fortune to go to board
Speaker 1: two of you are go get married. Yeah, because we
Speaker 1: think you can listen a wedding. Do you really want
Speaker 1: to be stressed out and worried about everything on your
Speaker 1: wedding day? No, we want to have fun. Well does
Speaker 1: that make sense? Believe me? It's not just your wedding
Speaker 1: day you're stressed out about you. You have nody that
Speaker 1: I'm arguing about today. It's ridiculous, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Setting up it's like a year eventible duty. I told
Speaker 1: you to put this on the engagement registry? What do
Speaker 1: you do? Regis done? Dude? I went, I picked up.
Speaker 1: I can't believe this. How can you get gifts for
Speaker 1: being engaged? And then also get money on your wedding.
Speaker 1: It's a thing. It's it's just a me. That's just
Speaker 1: a me thing at all, baby show they have the
Speaker 1: I was literally just about to jump out here and
Speaker 1: say I got a lot of gifts for getting engaged,
Speaker 1: thank you. It's the thing. It's the thing, all right,
Speaker 1: you know me, I live under a rock. I didn't
Speaker 1: know this register. You'll get gifts, okay, but I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you, like you or Bivona, if you guys told me,
Speaker 1: like hey, Frank, I have an engagement in registry. But
Speaker 1: I'm not having a party. If you want to get
Speaker 1: me a gift for getting engaged, I wouldn't get you
Speaker 1: so how it normally works, and I wouldn't expect you
Speaker 1: to get me any how it normally works. You would
Speaker 1: basically just google minded Judy's names and it just comes
Speaker 1: right up. I'm not gonna do that. I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not asking for a gift, Frank. A fact that anyone
Speaker 1: did that is ridiculous. Outside of your family and friends.
Speaker 1: I have friends too, I don't. I don't expect anything
Speaker 1: for getting engaged. It's something like other people care. This
Speaker 1: is what's happening. Buy me a shot whatever to the bark,
Speaker 1: gonna throw like a bridal shower. Is that gonna be
Speaker 1: a thing. I don't know. I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: she wants to. She's like she doesn't from that too.
Speaker 1: She doesn't want people to just sit there and watch
Speaker 1: her open gives. Yeah, she's not like that's normal. I
Speaker 1: like that. I wish more people like that because I
Speaker 1: can't stand these gender reveal parties either. I think it
Speaker 1: becoming a thing. I don't go to any of them.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna do the Philly Special and then when
Speaker 1: you score, you're gonna slam the football down and then
Speaker 1: find out if you're having a girl or a boy?
Speaker 1: Why would I do the Philly Special? Well, Judy from Philly,
Speaker 1: maybe she wants you to do it crazy at first
Speaker 1: of all, I haven't whatever, Jude, he goes no doubt
Speaker 1: about decade, Like Judy definitely wears the pants, absolutely the household.
Speaker 1: She won't say that, she definitely does. Though you realize
Speaker 1: we've been talking ten minutes about registries and stuff here
Speaker 1: for right, three guys, you know, three guys are three
Speaker 1: hosts are engaged, our producers engaged, Like yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: crazy old bachelor I'm learning a lot of Like, there
Speaker 1: you go, Alex's learning lessons. Alex, Alex, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna get Greg for off of his engagement? Ask? You
Speaker 1: got to get him a gift? Now now that you
Speaker 1: know you want to, you want to puck her up
Speaker 1: to the boss. You gotta get him a gift. I mean,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, since I've been here,
Speaker 1: all I've heard that nobody's been engaged since the beginning.
Speaker 1: So until I hear an actual date or anything, I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not doing anything. Alex Is Alex is the
Speaker 1: one that's gonna be in charge of our bachelor's party.
Speaker 1: This is so crazy, it's gonna be a combination of
Speaker 1: all of us. Alex. If if one of your good
Speaker 1: buddies got engaged, would you get him a gift off
Speaker 1: of his registry or would you just be like, hey man,
Speaker 1: I'll given a six pack. Well, actually, one of my
Speaker 1: best friends from my school just recently got engaged married
Speaker 1: in November. And remember what I want to say, this
Speaker 1: year sixteen. Then it's the sixteen yes of this yearthday
Speaker 1: they've been together for Oh, happy birthday, Happy early birthday.
Speaker 1: They've be engaged to engage. They've been together since I
Speaker 1: want to say eight to ten years now, so throughout
Speaker 1: high school, throughout college, Hofstra and Ford him not too
Speaker 1: far from each other. They're very great. They're like, people,
Speaker 1: did you get him a gift? I haven't even gotten
Speaker 1: invite to the bachelor party or anything so far. We
Speaker 1: don't know when did they get engaged? Uh? Three months ago?
Speaker 1: All right? All right, your time frame of getting them
Speaker 1: a gift is over. That's all right. Forget what would
Speaker 1: you recommende? You have the guy six pets or if
Speaker 1: you go to the bar, buy him a shot and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, google their names, see if they have
Speaker 1: a register. But he does this, You're you could not
Speaker 1: be more wrong. Women do that. I wouldn't do it. Women.
Speaker 1: Women do this, women know to do this. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I went there and picked stuff out with you college
Speaker 1: Judy wears the pants in the road. It's because I
Speaker 1: wanted to get something. I want an on the registry, dude,
Speaker 1: like a new Foreman drill. That was awesome. You don't
Speaker 1: deserve a new forming grill for just getting engaged. It's
Speaker 1: not an accomplishment. I don't know. I think it's part
Speaker 1: of the engagement. Wedding. It is, of course it is
Speaker 1: so Alex. Google their names see if they have a ustry.
Speaker 1: You should something out gifts. You should pick something out
Speaker 1: that is affordable in your price range, and then you
Speaker 1: go to the wedding. That's it. Don't do this. I
Speaker 1: gotta keep it in mind. You have the guy two
Speaker 1: d dollars on his wedding day and that's it. And
Speaker 1: don't get like that's where I would like. Don't waste
Speaker 1: your time buying me a forming grill. Give me as
Speaker 1: much money as you possibly can on my wedding day,
Speaker 1: and that's all I want. That sounds a lot simpler
Speaker 1: to exactly. Corn No, no need to make things difficult here.
Speaker 1: Greg's gonna have a groom shower shower. You sit and
Speaker 1: watch Greg open up his gifts. I'm having a bachelor party,
Speaker 1: you know that. I don't know if I am doing
Speaker 1: a bachelor party. Got a board board for your wedding,
Speaker 1: I'm going board board exactly. To me, that's like, okay,
Speaker 1: a vacation and everything all on one. Well, that could
Speaker 1: be your honeymoon. All right, we're gonna do things differently.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like. That's good don't follow
Speaker 1: the structure. Make a registry. Yeah, she can make a registry.
Speaker 1: I am making. We're over the registry, greg I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm not like you have a registry. I don't think
Speaker 1: we do. I don't think we were going to do that.
Speaker 1: We're actually we're we're just asking for money and we'll
Speaker 1: just buy our own stuff. All right. This is just
Speaker 1: you are prime millennial. That's what it is. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. The register, the registry thing is actually like
Speaker 1: fairly forever there's been registry ever. You make a registry
Speaker 1: for your wedding, not for getting engaged, all right, Like
Speaker 1: you make a registry for bridle shower or something like that,
Speaker 1: for the bridle shower. Absolutely so, all right, so you're
Speaker 1: getting gifts. You're getting gifts for getting engaged on the
Speaker 1: bridle shower or something different. Right, you're gonna make a
Speaker 1: new registry, same registry. It's one big registry. But you're
Speaker 1: all right, but you're getting gifts for getting engaged for
Speaker 1: the bridle shower. The wedding just gonna be money when
Speaker 1: just wait now people are giving us presents. It is
Speaker 1: a lot though, it's very much selling. Get do you
Speaker 1: give people that much stuff. I have to of course
Speaker 1: you have to. That's the thing of cour You're giving
Speaker 1: people five their wedding your best friends, I better get five.
Speaker 1: There's absolutely absolutely. So then you know, here's what we
Speaker 1: gotta do. We have to uh what was that show
Speaker 1: where they sit everyone down and they you know, like
Speaker 1: when they have like a drinking problem intervention intervention. So
Speaker 1: here's what we gotta do, Susman and all of his friends.
Speaker 1: We have to have an intervention. A lot more people
Speaker 1: than that. No, like there's like millions of people everybody
Speaker 1: on your Facebook. This has to be like a worldwide intervention.
Speaker 1: There should not be a registry for engagement. The problem
Speaker 1: is the world's going in the opposite direction. Like you don't,
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't have to give people three gifts
Speaker 1: for getting engaged and getting married. It's one gift. Whatever
Speaker 1: you feel comforry, maybe a bridle shower gift. Whatever. You're
Speaker 1: not always invited. You're always invited. The bridle shower. That's
Speaker 1: a women. Women's give me a bunch of money on
Speaker 1: my wedding day. That's it. I'm cool with that. Let's
Speaker 1: close this out. I mean it's good. It's like it's
Speaker 1: great for you, Greg, but it's like reciprocation because I'm
Speaker 1: sure you had to do it with your But that's
Speaker 1: why we need to evention like thing for really for
Speaker 1: Judy is really what it sucks? Right If you gotta
Speaker 1: buy an engagement gift and she I'm not going to
Speaker 1: the bridle showers, I'm not paying for it. She has
Speaker 1: to buy a gift, and then we got to pay
Speaker 1: for the wedding gift. Sucks. Yeah, basically it comes out
Speaker 1: to all the Yeah, I mean, what do you do
Speaker 1: like closing that out? You have three different registrates for
Speaker 1: your birthday and Christmas too. While you're at it, there's
Speaker 1: not three, it's you don't understand the registry. It's one registrar. Okay,
Speaker 1: I know, it's literally one registry. You go to the
Speaker 1: bead bath and beyond it they got a bunch of stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just seems ridiculous. No, but other but then if
Speaker 1: you're the person trying to get something on the registry,
Speaker 1: you have to worry about, oh, who got this? Who
Speaker 1: got this? What do they disappear off the registry? They
Speaker 1: say it's they say it's been born already. All right,
Speaker 1: that's kind of you know, there's your your wedding update,
Speaker 1: wedding one on one here on a fantasy best friends
Speaker 1: forever with christ Frank with three packs Chris Christmas Frank.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go anyway, and you know
Speaker 1: anywady question, eligible bachelor to be Alex Alex what's your Twitter?
Speaker 1: Make sure you plug it if anyone wants to find
Speaker 1: you and uh take you out on a date at
Speaker 1: Alexander Faz Are you single? Long Island? Yes? I am?
Speaker 1: He fortunately you go. He's got a demo too, what's
Speaker 1: your what's your website? With your demo? Road Sports Media,
Speaker 1: you find out what he looks like and how you
Speaker 1: know how he talks. Bob Cardono, alright, what do we
Speaker 1: got here? Bob? What's Mike? What? What is you know
Speaker 1: from a married man or an ex married man? This
Speaker 1: whole topic is sickening. What are we doing here? Well, Mike,
Speaker 1: I just think it's ridiculous that Greg is over here
Speaker 1: asking people for, you know, gifts for every little like
Speaker 1: life event that happens here. Like, you know, he got engaged,
Speaker 1: Why does he Why do you get a gift because
Speaker 1: you got engaged? To me, it's like you give your
Speaker 1: friend a handshake, you give him a shot or you
Speaker 1: give him a beer. Like you don't get a gift
Speaker 1: for getting engaged, and then you get a gift at
Speaker 1: a bridle shower, and then you gotta give a gift
Speaker 1: at a wedding. To me, that's too much stuff, Mike.
Speaker 1: At least do a segment on ranking the gifts or
Speaker 1: something like that. All four, you're getting married before you
Speaker 1: get back to fantasy. But we'll get back to it
Speaker 1: right now. The first our first hour was great, Mike, Mike,
Speaker 1: who who do you want? Who are your drafting? Your
Speaker 1: third base? We went over like twelve third third basement
Speaker 1: the first hour, Mike, which third basement are you drafting
Speaker 1: this year? I don't know. My head is my head
Speaker 1: is spending right now? I'm sure it is. What what
Speaker 1: of your fiance's I'll put a third base alight? You
Speaker 1: know it? All serious? Is we go to you? We
Speaker 1: talked again with a lot of third basement? Right? Is
Speaker 1: there anyone that you like? We ask you, but Chris Bryant? Right,
Speaker 1: because Chris Bryant has been it was a bit of
Speaker 1: a hot topic. Right, where are you at him? I'm
Speaker 1: big on Chris Bryant. Okay, Yeah, I like Chris Bryan.
Speaker 1: I have him like uh, I think right now fourth
Speaker 1: as my fourth third basement believe him six. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: like a huge difference because he's in his prime, and
Speaker 1: we know when he came up he was a monster.
Speaker 1: He was a monster from most of his career so
Speaker 1: far except for uh, pretty much bead to nine over
Speaker 1: years in a row seventeen. Uh, he's got the power,
Speaker 1: hit thirty nine homes for one year. Now you can't
Speaker 1: guess the homers because he's also hit twenty nine and
Speaker 1: last year thirteen, even though he played a hundred two games. Uh.
Speaker 1: I just think, listen, he walks a ton, he does
Speaker 1: everything else well, he doesn't. He didn't really even strike
Speaker 1: out that much as a lot of other power hitters,
Speaker 1: and I think his average is gonna bounce back. Listen.
Speaker 1: He just had a bad year and he was hurt.
Speaker 1: I think, once again, there's another guy who played hurt
Speaker 1: for most of this most of the time that he
Speaker 1: did play, and he just never, you know, really bounced back.
Speaker 1: He never really retained this form. He was ineen, but
Speaker 1: he could easily recover and come back. He's healthy. Now
Speaker 1: he's got another fresh new season to play. He's in
Speaker 1: the Cubs lineup, which is a great line up, a
Speaker 1: pretty good Bullpark. Later in the year, I think this
Speaker 1: is a guy that could be a top six player,
Speaker 1: like he has that potential and I love that a
Speaker 1: bad and plus even and as a safety floor in
Speaker 1: the full season, I think he'll still give you, you know,
Speaker 1: in a bad year, Homers all about to seventy. You know,
Speaker 1: he'll walk, you know, sixty seventy times. He still gives
Speaker 1: you some good stats around what and he bats in
Speaker 1: a part of the line. But he's gonna give you
Speaker 1: counting stats no matter what. I do think it's just
Speaker 1: a solid play overall. You know, it's crazy you venture said,
Speaker 1: you know, even in a bad years, this is what
Speaker 1: he could give you. That's basically my projection. That's why
Speaker 1: I only Chris I've met two seventy and runs wellok,
Speaker 1: back you know the other third baseman after the top ten.
Speaker 1: We'll do that next thing. Daily Rhodo dot Com learned

Speaker 1: mom and dad used to fight about money all the time.
Speaker 1: Then one day I heard them talking about this guy,
Speaker 1: some uncle I never knew, called Uncle Sam. Well, they say,
Speaker 1: this Uncle Sam guy wanted them to pay him like
Speaker 1: a gazillion dollars, and they didn't have a gazillion dollars.
Speaker 1: So they called this company they heard on the radio
Speaker 1: called the Tax Doctor, and the tax Doctor worked with
Speaker 1: Uncle Sam's people. I think they're called the I R S.
Speaker 1: And they're able to work it out. So my mom
Speaker 1: and dad didn't have to pay Uncle Sam very much
Speaker 1: money at all. So now mom and dad are happy,
Speaker 1: and I'm happy to thanks Tax Doctor. If you owe
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars or more to the I R S

Speaker 1: really buy it. But we'll say he is his day
Speaker 1: of court, so he gets to prove himself and just
Speaker 1: probably pay a fine. Even if it's a legit massage.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go to those places. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's works six or fillion dollars. You can just hire

Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If I see the vector both
Speaker 1: on the board, you're at the end of the third
Speaker 1: round and it's Randon and Vladimir Guerrero. You're looking at
Speaker 1: your team. You want batting average, you want some power
Speaker 1: where you're taking on the board, You're taking Lad over
Speaker 1: Anthony Rendon. I'm taking Lad. I'm very like. I think
Speaker 1: Lad's gonna cut like and a lot of people do.
Speaker 1: Obviously he's gonna come in just literally ripping right away.
Speaker 1: And I know you gotta wait till the end of
Speaker 1: April or whatever it is, or two weeks into April.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I'll figure it out, you know,
Speaker 1: for those first couple of weeks plugging whoever. And then
Speaker 1: once he's in, you're talking about possibly maybe the best
Speaker 1: third basement in the league, or at least top three.
Speaker 1: When he's playing, we didn't really talk about him much, Greg.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the date when he can come up
Speaker 1: is Friday, April. Probably not gonna come up that day
Speaker 1: because it comes a little bit too obvious to you.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a couple of days later, maybe it's the
Speaker 1: next week whatever. Last year, I said on the day
Speaker 1: of Kuna was going to be available to come up,
Speaker 1: you know, I I you know, I think I had
Speaker 1: a bet with day Martinez and I lost. I had
Speaker 1: to buy him a beer. And you know, he didn't
Speaker 1: come up that day. He came up like a week later.
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't think it's gonna be exactly
Speaker 1: that day. That's the earliest it can happen. But he
Speaker 1: was a monster last year. I mean, look, ten percent
Speaker 1: strike out right, eight percent strike out right at triple
Speaker 1: A last year. I mean his ops at double A
Speaker 1: was eleven twenty. His ops at triple A was So
Speaker 1: I have my stroll, I have my projection for him.
Speaker 1: Greg Greg at home runs five RBIs great, which is
Speaker 1: close to what rand Don't could do it, except you've
Speaker 1: seen wrend don't do it before. That's the thing. I
Speaker 1: do like Randow a lot because one he's been very consistent,
Speaker 1: hits a ton of doubles, does all the things I like, um,
Speaker 1: hits for good average, he does everything well. I just
Speaker 1: don't what's the ceiling is this? This is it? Right?
Speaker 1: Is there much more we're gonna get out of Rondown
Speaker 1: at this point, well last last years. I mean, but
Speaker 1: he's not a top He's never gonna be a top
Speaker 1: like player. He's not gonna be a first rounder ever
Speaker 1: or a second rounder even ever, he's just gonna be
Speaker 1: what he is. He might be. He might have the
Speaker 1: upside to be a second rounder because he was a
Speaker 1: little unlucky in terms of the power last year. The
Speaker 1: plody of contact that he made was really good, So
Speaker 1: you know he could if he gets BIS, he's probably
Speaker 1: a second round player next Yeah, well that's possible that
Speaker 1: that would be his his best season probably, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that's his best season. I think Guerrero
Speaker 1: could do something like that, you know, something similar this year?
Speaker 1: Who would you rather have? Greg Ladder rend I understand
Speaker 1: both things. I understand both of it, right, Like I
Speaker 1: rather have Chris Bryant and Anthony Rendol. I told you
Speaker 1: that before. Um so so for me, like I get
Speaker 1: the tantalizing upside of Ladimir Guerrero. I think in the
Speaker 1: year one though, I'm gonna take Rendon only because what
Speaker 1: do you think lad can do this year? I don't, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean correct in Layman served a safer He's just
Speaker 1: playing safer, playing safe. I agree that. I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about forever. It was like a year one, so if
Speaker 1: you're thinking about this year, yeah, you're right. I play
Speaker 1: a lot of keepers leagues too, so that sways my opinions.
Speaker 1: But Chris Bryant is not a young player, you know,
Speaker 1: I say, we say like young players, but Chris Bryan's
Speaker 1: not a young player. It's been the league for a
Speaker 1: while now. I just see the talent. To me, the
Speaker 1: talent of a Chris Bryant is astronomical. Chris Bryant could
Speaker 1: be one of the best players in league, twenty seven
Speaker 1: years old, prime of his career. To Digger, he's a
Speaker 1: revenge game Toronto, a shop against you brought up your
Speaker 1: number eleven guy. We did the top ten. Your number
Speaker 1: eleven guy, as Raphael Devers. Now. According to the NFBC,
Speaker 1: Devers is the eighteenth third baseman off the board. Frank
Speaker 1: and I, I was our guy last year. The two
Speaker 1: of us burn, two of us together. We're all over.
Speaker 1: Roth started super, We're hot. He was very, very bad.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was second half. He was
Speaker 1: bad all year. I promise, wasn't there what I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: Like I was grasping at Straw's last year, Like whenever
Speaker 1: this guy went on a two week straight, if he
Speaker 1: hit a home run, I mean, dude, it's coming, It's coming.
Speaker 1: If you even hit a home run. I mean, you
Speaker 1: get texts from Frank's like he's back baby, and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, oh god, Frank, let's not do this. March
Speaker 1: and April he had four home runs twenty one rb
Speaker 1: I in the first month. That's great. Ye first half
Speaker 1: to forty one second half two thirty six. He was
Speaker 1: never good now, he was never good less never Look,
Speaker 1: he's a post hype sleeper for sure. Lost twenty pounds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: best shape in my life, hattag, best shape in my life.
Speaker 1: There is actually a Twitter that that is just like
Speaker 1: articles that are being written about players in the best
Speaker 1: shape of their lives. You gotta find it on Twitter's
Speaker 1: Iron Buckston twenty one pound Iron Buckston Saturday dude five ribbies.
Speaker 1: Sorry al right, So Rafievers, what do you like? Why
Speaker 1: are you doing? What are you doing? But what am
Speaker 1: I doing? What are you doing? Well? You guys like
Speaker 1: Devas Lestia, So why did you like him? Lestia? Who had?
Speaker 1: There's reasons like I looked I was. I was all
Speaker 1: way on the bats beat. Look, I've seen this guy.
Speaker 1: I was at the game in person two years ago
Speaker 1: when he hit an opposite field I had to watch him.
Speaker 1: I watched him live and he went opposite field against
Speaker 1: I wandered five mile per hour, rolled this Chapman fastball,
Speaker 1: and he hit a bomb. It sucked being at the
Speaker 1: game and watching that happened. I was like, dude, if
Speaker 1: this guy could do that against a lefty, one of
Speaker 1: the best in the game, like a roll the Chapman
Speaker 1: gives up maybe like three home runs a year, and
Speaker 1: Robbie Devers is going field on a hundred five mile
Speaker 1: per hour fastball up in the zone and he hit
Speaker 1: well against leftist last year. I kind of trusted that,
Speaker 1: but look inen he regretted big time. I mean to
Speaker 1: nineteen ops against left handers, a d eighteen at bats
Speaker 1: he was bad. In seventeen he batted five hundred. It
Speaker 1: was a small sample, so fifty as against lefties. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think he can be better. And this
Speaker 1: is what I convinced myself last year is in the
Speaker 1: minor leagues he was pretty good against lefties. You know.
Speaker 1: Then you know he was eighty two against lefties in
Speaker 1: Double A. In twenty seventeen, he was to seventy eight
Speaker 1: against lefties in High A. So he held his own
Speaker 1: against left because it's not like he was mashing against him.
Speaker 1: But he's the only the thing is he Okay, he
Speaker 1: had a bad yeal Is ship. But we talked about
Speaker 1: this before, young players having big As these things happen,
Speaker 1: this is the right time to jump on the guy
Speaker 1: is when he's at the greatest value he'll ever be at.
Speaker 1: You're not wrong, right like, this is when you want
Speaker 1: to get him. Nobody wants him right now. This is
Speaker 1: when you want him. Like the people you know him
Speaker 1: last year, like we want to be out on him.
Speaker 1: But that was right. You could get him as your
Speaker 1: corner infielder. Now last year I had to pay the
Speaker 1: like six last year is too much, sounds Your corner
Speaker 1: infield is the corner infielder now in the middle rounds.
Speaker 1: Dude's twenty one October twenty one years old. Last year runs.
Speaker 1: What's not to like about that? Power to forty great
Speaker 1: average whatever. Look at the famous projections for him, right,
Speaker 1: they have him right around to seventy, right around twenty
Speaker 1: five home runs. If he does that in the Red
Speaker 1: Sox lineup, you know, maybe he gives you eight And
Speaker 1: that's fan grips who are very conservative two or seven.
Speaker 1: That's a thirty point boost in his batting average, So well,
Speaker 1: he is a better hitter than two forties, is he?
Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to. He wasn't he was
Speaker 1: throughout his career. He was a two hitter in the
Speaker 1: minor leagues. Believe me, I dove deep on this guy
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to figure out, like what went wrong.
Speaker 1: He's one of these aggressive swingers to like, he's gonna
Speaker 1: swing it pitches outside the strike zone. He's gonna change pitches,
Speaker 1: he's gonna swing and miss, you know, higher than league average.
Speaker 1: It's not a super alarming rate like your Bayas is
Speaker 1: like seventeen eighteen percent swinging miss rate, and Raffi Devers
Speaker 1: is at thirteen percent for his career. So the league
Speaker 1: average is like ten and a half percent. He's a
Speaker 1: little bit higher than that. But he chases his pitches
Speaker 1: outside the strike zone. League average, you know, chase rates
Speaker 1: like thirty percent. He's at thirty seven. So he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna be aggressive. He's gonna swing it pitches outside
Speaker 1: the and he hits a lot of infield fly balls,
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Last year it was fifteen and
Speaker 1: fifteen point seven percent. You look at the minor leagues.
Speaker 1: He's always hit a lot of infield flyball and and
Speaker 1: those are automatic outs, automatic outmes down to the get
Speaker 1: under the ball. He tries to get under the ball.
Speaker 1: And thirty percent both years. That's not great. No slow
Speaker 1: league average around it's thirty five percent right around lea
Speaker 1: average fel flyballs is terrible. Home run for the flyball
Speaker 1: ratios or whatever, it's sixteen and a half percent. He's
Speaker 1: a lot of balls. The amount of groundballs, guys his
Speaker 1: closest fifty vercent. Yeah, it's not it's not. And it's
Speaker 1: not an ideal ballpark either for a lefty, for lefty
Speaker 1: power and Fenway, it's not. But he is in an
Speaker 1: ideal lineup. He's line drive, He's in an ideal line up.
Speaker 1: Like his quality of contact is not great, Greig, that's fine.
Speaker 1: He start against left last year. Right, Who would you
Speaker 1: rather have a Matt Chapman? M Chapman, So way do
Speaker 1: you have en? Right? I have Chapman. Actually, I have Chatman.
Speaker 1: I have It's seven. I'm worried about these injuries. Chatman
Speaker 1: seven venture I hear you on this. Everything that Chapman
Speaker 1: did last year was awesome. These injuries are another guy
Speaker 1: these injuries are real. Man, He's like he's dealing with
Speaker 1: a thumb and a shoulder. You know, he was two
Speaker 1: or forty four hitter in the minor leagues and then
Speaker 1: he's always had big pop. He was like thirty strikeout
Speaker 1: guy in the minors. He was a two forty four hitter.
Speaker 1: He hit for a lot of poppy, hit a lot
Speaker 1: of home runs, consistently strikeout right or higher. Last year
Speaker 1: that was twenty three point seven percent. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: like the the improvements that he made last year, he
Speaker 1: might legal league bullets on the Oakland A's because the
Speaker 1: improvements that their young players made last year between Chapman
Speaker 1: and Olson were awesome. These guys can be awesome players,
Speaker 1: but they play in Oakland, which sucks. That's okay though
Speaker 1: for the guy with this type of pell. He had
Speaker 1: thirty eight, but the injuries, man, I'm game forty doubles.
Speaker 1: He had fifty eight walks, so the walk rates pretty good.
Speaker 1: In a hundred five games, six d abbas, a hundred
Speaker 1: runs scored his first full season. I mean, there's a
Speaker 1: lot to like him. Like him, it's only the injury.
Speaker 1: It is everything. He's a guy, He's a guy to watch.
Speaker 1: He's a guy to watch spring training, and I can't
Speaker 1: draft him right now. The pombe and a shoulder. I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't have to really fall. But I'm worried about
Speaker 1: something like that. I'm telling you, Greg, I'm bullish on
Speaker 1: the approvements that he made. His swinging strike rate last
Speaker 1: year was eight He's gonna strike out. He's gonna strike that.
Speaker 1: That's gonna help. What I'm telling you, et percent is
Speaker 1: great league average because strike is ten and a half percent.
Speaker 1: He struck out eight point eight percent. He swung and
Speaker 1: miss eight point eight percent of the time. We are
Speaker 1: he's expected. He made a lot more contact here, and
Speaker 1: he made really really good contact, hard hit rate, fly
Speaker 1: ball rate. He's expected his debut by the way training tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Like his average loss LST year was thirty three point one.
Speaker 1: That was fifth best in baseball. That ch happens a
Speaker 1: really good players. The thing he's going to be in
Speaker 1: the line of every day because he might be the
Speaker 1: best defensive. The one thing you might be right about
Speaker 1: the league is that he might have a big dip
Speaker 1: in average. I could see as like a kind of
Speaker 1: like a softomore slump, even though it's it's going into
Speaker 1: his third year. He had such a good whole season
Speaker 1: in a software slump. He's just never been a high
Speaker 1: average guy. Last year, that's what I'm saying. That might
Speaker 1: be an anomaly. Isn't. But he also he also don't know,
Speaker 1: severely cut down his strikeout so that's way higher. Ever, Yes,
Speaker 1: but his heart hit rate was also way higher than
Speaker 1: that his average eggs veloss. He was fifth best in baseball.
Speaker 1: He can maintain that that he can maintain like if
Speaker 1: he does that again, he can maintain could eighty. Everything
Speaker 1: is you have to take minor leagues with a grain
Speaker 1: of salt because guys are gonna grow out of those.
Speaker 1: My only staff, you know a lot of times years
Speaker 1: old is Match Chapman. It's not the like. And it
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna be healthy. He's a couple only
Speaker 1: couple of days behind, expects to play this week tomorrow
Speaker 1: in fact in spring training, so well safe rank. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's a guy that moves out your rankings. The fan
Speaker 1: graphs projections haven't matter between like two forty and two fifty.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Yeah, I agree with that. I don't
Speaker 1: you get tire no, like he's upside to be like
Speaker 1: a two seventy hitter. He does on his quality of calm,
Speaker 1: and we know that he has power in his bats.
Speaker 1: So you know, if he had to seventy with thirty
Speaker 1: home runs, that wouldn't surprise me one bid. But I
Speaker 1: think you're more likely. I'm excited about this Oakland A's team,
Speaker 1: but I just need to know that he's healthy. I
Speaker 1: don't know right now. Well, we have to watch spring
Speaker 1: for Tying sr training for that. But if you know
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's the things you gotta expect. I don't
Speaker 1: think that the average dips, but he'll make up for
Speaker 1: with power. This is a guy that I would think
Speaker 1: it's more likely to hit thirty home runs than he
Speaker 1: is to hit two eighty again. Much more likely to
Speaker 1: hit thirty home runs and hit two eighty again. That's
Speaker 1: the type of guy he is. He is gonna walk
Speaker 1: a lot, he's gonna hit a lot of homeless. He's
Speaker 1: almost a TRIE three true outcome guy. The thing is
Speaker 1: he also just hit makes a ton of hot contact,
Speaker 1: so he's gonna hit a lot of doubles and do
Speaker 1: everything else well. So he's a well above average power
Speaker 1: hitter and right and like that, right in the middle
Speaker 1: of everything. That's he scored a hundred runs last year.
Speaker 1: He's writing like he's gonna be towards that base. He's
Speaker 1: either gonna bet second or third in the Oakland like
Speaker 1: I think you would bet. They'll probably split up the right.
Speaker 1: He's will do Chapman second, They'll do Madelson thirds a
Speaker 1: ton of power, especially right and then like Jerks and
Speaker 1: Profile leading off or whoever you know, Robbie Grossman against
Speaker 1: left handed. I'm telling you, look, if Matt Chapman healthy
Speaker 1: right now, Greg, I would have him ranked a third
Speaker 1: base I would have him ranked right behind and number
Speaker 1: seven four our guy Chris Venu right now, well, I
Speaker 1: have him at he said right now, right now, it
Speaker 1: is right now. I have Chapman at eighteen. He should
Speaker 1: probably raised that. Frank, I'm worried, Man, I'm worried. You
Speaker 1: should be worried. But if if biased on his talent,
Speaker 1: if he plays eighteens low, I have him just beyond
Speaker 1: Devers and Travis Shaw. I mean, look that's here. A
Speaker 1: third baseman is not bad like my twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
Speaker 1: Will Myers, Will Myers, justin Turner, Max Munsey, Travis Shaw,
Speaker 1: Raffie Devers, Justin Turner here, I like both. I got
Speaker 1: burned by Will Myers last year. I got burned by guys.
Speaker 1: Justin Turner is awesome. You know, Matt said it before
Speaker 1: he left. Turner is awesome. Why does everyone love him
Speaker 1: like I do? I think, Well, Gregg, he doesn't play
Speaker 1: ye hundred and twenty games. He missed the first half
Speaker 1: of last year. We knew that already. The second half
Speaker 1: he was great was what he played, and he was great. Now.
Speaker 1: I think people don't realize how good he was. He
Speaker 1: plays a hundred fifty games, he has Anthony rend Frode.
Speaker 1: Damn good it is. But look at look at his
Speaker 1: past seasons, Greg He's gonna miss time one oh three
Speaker 1: last year, one thirty one fifty one, which was a
Speaker 1: career high in twenty sixteen. You look at his games played,
Speaker 1: that's the outlier every other season. It is a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty year left. It's not a spring. So you
Speaker 1: know he's gonna miss like thirty years. You are agist,
Speaker 1: you know that. I'm a little He's like, he wants
Speaker 1: the prospects, he wants Azzi out. You know, I'll take
Speaker 1: a guy that's thirty two. If he's still in his prime,
Speaker 1: thirty two year old, that you'll draft Chris Davis already
Speaker 1: one drafted Chris Davis. I got a pretty old team.
Speaker 1: And Chris David. He's not one years old. He's not
Speaker 1: even thirty. I don't think he's twenty eight or something
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know. Actually he's thirty. Wine with
Speaker 1: that your spot on their venture. Yeah, I have Brentley.
Speaker 1: I have Brentley on my team. A Pollock. My outfield
Speaker 1: is very old. You might combine a hundred sixty games
Speaker 1: from your outfield this year. I mean my outfield is
Speaker 1: not that bad. I have a Brantley, Chris Davis, A J. Pollock,
Speaker 1: Nom Mazar, Jesse Winker. I mean there's five outfields. This
Speaker 1: is a deep, deep team, deep league. But I'll take
Speaker 1: any you know, I've seen I've seen people make the
Speaker 1: comp that like Justin Turner is as j D Martinez,
Speaker 1: JD Martinez like profile, but he just can't stay healthy.
Speaker 1: Now if he finds if it's a year where Justin
Speaker 1: Turner does stay healthy, and he'd beat J D. Martinez
Speaker 1: light yeahs not j D Martinez, Like think Justin Turner
Speaker 1: can be jd Light he was the eighth best third Babies.
Speaker 1: We'll tak a rag, We're rut of the shell. Go next.

Speaker 1: not doing it. I'm just not doing it. So I
Speaker 1: think he's uh, he knows this and that's why it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a great game now. But in him and

Speaker 1: of the Phillies can do. They met with him a
Speaker 1: million times and he still hasn't pulled the trigger. Now,
Speaker 1: there's reports that the Dodgers brass last night were in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, including the manager. So if the manager is
Speaker 1: there as well, then that's pretty serious. Sweet Day's Note
Speaker 1: Ammy starred on F and T s Y Radio and
Speaker 1: on your popular podcast Providers Back with You Fantasy Best
Speaker 1: Friends for over final eighteen minutes of the show. Frank Stafford,
Speaker 1: Chris Ventrare all here with you. Lie Stia breaking down
Speaker 1: through basement doesn't turn it. J Martinez light says Frank Stapville.
Speaker 1: Did that quote up somewhere. He was the I think
Speaker 1: seventh or eight ranked best third baseman last year in
Speaker 1: average points per game. Well, look, I just say like
Speaker 1: j D Martinez because j D Martinez was a guy
Speaker 1: who always couldn't stay healthy, who you know, had great
Speaker 1: batted ball data, who hit the ball extremely hard and
Speaker 1: hit the ball in the air. And Justin Turner does
Speaker 1: all of those those things. He just is never able
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. So yeah, when I say light, if
Speaker 1: he plays a hundred and fifty games and hits three
Speaker 1: hundred and hits thirty home runs, that is at Martinez
Speaker 1: light and you know that, you know Justin Turner could
Speaker 1: end up being one of the most profitable players this season,
Speaker 1: but it all comes down to health. Again. There's one
Speaker 1: outlier season in his career where he played a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty one games every other year he's been a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty or less, but it's baked into his
Speaker 1: price though you're getting him at a discuse. You're right
Speaker 1: at this point you have to, you know, he's kind
Speaker 1: of like the last gasp for me at third base.
Speaker 1: Like he's the last, you know, guy that I would
Speaker 1: feel comfortable the last you know, he's one of the
Speaker 1: last guys that I would feel comfortable with him as
Speaker 1: my starting third basement. It's you know, it's him, Uh,
Speaker 1: Travis Shaw, It's month We already spoke about Monthly on
Speaker 1: the First Base episode. I don't really want Max Monse,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Mike Mustak is like Mustak is
Speaker 1: Justin Turner, Travis Shaw, those are probably like my last
Speaker 1: Mustas is my last basis. Snow is a really deep
Speaker 1: can you have? We speaking about guys in miss Games.
Speaker 1: I mentioned best in Justin Turner hundred games last year.
Speaker 1: Will Myers is um Willers one of these guys. Also
Speaker 1: that this is just a ton of games. Last year
Speaker 1: he only played eighty three. Are you get a Wilms Chris,
Speaker 1: I mean, on on his value, I'll draft him currently
Speaker 1: currently in the NFPC in the month of February. He's
Speaker 1: going off at one oh nine both third base and
Speaker 1: outfield eligible one oh nine, So that's like round what
Speaker 1: nine right here? Yeah, I think that's like fifteen team league.
Speaker 1: That would be you know, fifteen time standards way off
Speaker 1: Will Myers. I think he's like the eighth round. I
Speaker 1: think that's what that would be. Round I think eight
Speaker 1: ninth rounds. I would take him and look at it
Speaker 1: like the early eighth round. And this is the guy
Speaker 1: that that he has probably was going like you know,
Speaker 1: fifth round, fourth round, things like that. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think the value is good at like could give and
Speaker 1: at that point, but another he's gotta be roster construction.
Speaker 1: You can't have him as you're starting third basement if
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of injurias on your team. To
Speaker 1: two years, probably he basically played full seasons. He played
Speaker 1: full seasons. And when last year in the fifth round
Speaker 1: and I fell free to about this his inside injuries, right,
Speaker 1: I'll look at this last year they have him as
Speaker 1: arm back, triceps, bilbow, oblique, foot nose voting, Will Myers
Speaker 1: must suck man. Mean what, that's exactly what I wrote
Speaker 1: down in my notes. Look at this, I wrote all
Speaker 1: of his injuries, dot dot dot what what that's exactly
Speaker 1: what Venture to said? What back priceps elbow oblique footnotes
Speaker 1: that'll make me drop him down for that much stuff
Speaker 1: like last season? Aybody with eighty three games last year
Speaker 1: back to back season of a hundred and fifty five
Speaker 1: or more. Like Venture mentioned, it's hard hit rate, hits
Speaker 1: all extremely hard. I mean line drive rate seven and
Speaker 1: a half better line up now obviously shadow in it.
Speaker 1: It's a lot better homers sole bases in thirteen. That's awesome,
Speaker 1: like the outside is great. Like Rather, it's a roster
Speaker 1: construction thing. I can't have him on a team where
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of injury risking if I have
Speaker 1: a bunch of would That's what I was gonna ask you,
Speaker 1: who would you rather take? I would take Myers over Turner,
Speaker 1: but greg In in this climate where everyone's trying to
Speaker 1: find base yet you know it's different, you know in
Speaker 1: just in Justin Turner per games per game, right, well,
Speaker 1: strikes out of decent week. You're right, But he's gonna
Speaker 1: disappear for a long time, probably terrible, more likely why
Speaker 1: because he's always hurts reading again, but he had two
Speaker 1: full seasons on back, triceps, elbow, oblique, foot, knows what.
Speaker 1: He's also much younger. That was coming the agist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like Turners time a concern for Wilmiers too with the padres. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the outfields stacked. He's gonna play third and this is
Speaker 1: he this is what we worried about last years as
Speaker 1: he played first base they signed Eric Cosmer. When they
Speaker 1: moved them back into the outfield, he becomes more prone
Speaker 1: to getting injured again because he has to run around,
Speaker 1: He's trying to make diving plays. He's throwing the ball more.
Speaker 1: You're asked, it's more taxing on your body when you
Speaker 1: play the outfield as opposed to first base. So in
Speaker 1: those two years where he played back to back a
Speaker 1: hundred fifty five games, he's playing first base. You put
Speaker 1: him back in the outfield. He's running around a little
Speaker 1: bit more, he's making diving plays. You know, he's throwing
Speaker 1: the ball around a little bit more. He's more prone
Speaker 1: to getting hurt. He has no choice. He has to
Speaker 1: play left. You know, maybe are they more likely to
Speaker 1: sit him out of game or two per week to
Speaker 1: try and preserve him and keep them out. They have
Speaker 1: a lot of outfield options out there in San Diego.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of moving parts right now. With Will Myers.
Speaker 1: He can't play first or third. He's locked away from
Speaker 1: that because Cosm is way too good at like, you know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any opportunities, so he's gonna play left.
Speaker 1: It's just he's playing corner outfield. Yeah, and they have
Speaker 1: a lot of corey outfielders. Yeah, but like Renfro's not
Speaker 1: that not good people. I don't know why bombs. This
Speaker 1: is like a lot of things. I like the little
Speaker 1: things that people do. He doesn't do any of the
Speaker 1: little things. He doesn't who walk, he doesn't hit doubles,
Speaker 1: he doesn't do anything else but hit bombs. He has
Speaker 1: for no average, Like, I don't want that guy. He's
Speaker 1: so one demensional. I don't want him. What had hit right?
Speaker 1: I don't care though, And he strikes out so much
Speaker 1: and he doesn't do anything else. Good when he set
Speaker 1: three with nineteen bombs in the second half, venturee homers
Speaker 1: in sixty games, I mean we're talking about here. He's
Speaker 1: got power. I know that he has the upside to
Speaker 1: hit forty homers. That would be a great great Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised Hunter run from side upside. I
Speaker 1: hope he does. I hope he does. I mean, I
Speaker 1: just don't. I can't trust the Mayors and Justin Turner
Speaker 1: are going around the same area. And I think it's justified.
Speaker 1: It's based on roster construction. If you need batting average,
Speaker 1: and maybe I think they probably have the similar amount
Speaker 1: of pop in terms of upside. You know, I think
Speaker 1: speed is obviously the RBIs is gonna probably be a
Speaker 1: little bit in Justin Turner's favorites hit in the middle
Speaker 1: of a pretty good lineup with the Dodgers batting average,
Speaker 1: and you need RBIs, then, you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: if you need stolen bases, that's it. Though. The only
Speaker 1: thing you with JaQuel Myers ahead of Justin Turner fo
Speaker 1: we're stolen basis everything else. I want to Turner everything.
Speaker 1: But I do think you don't think the Padres and
Speaker 1: the Padres lineup is going to be conducive enough to
Speaker 1: will Myers giving you solid counting stats. Sure, but eighty
Speaker 1: plus runs in RBIs Turners aver the same will be
Speaker 1: just a solid It's you're talking to me about average
Speaker 1: versus speed. That's that's what you want. That's average. Is
Speaker 1: that what you want? Because I wore Myers projected for
Speaker 1: to fifty, but I kind of have it like projections
Speaker 1: for me, I have a t Hoers seventy runs seven
Speaker 1: RB has fifteen slong basis, they're a little bit. I
Speaker 1: bring them back a little bit because I'm only projecting
Speaker 1: and play like a hundred and thirty game. See. I
Speaker 1: think Myers is could be better than Turner though. That's
Speaker 1: the thing, like if if they play full seasons, I
Speaker 1: think Mars can end up with more homers. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think he's got more power. He doesn't have the average
Speaker 1: like Turner. Turners a great hitter. He hits consistently, but
Speaker 1: the injury obviously scares me about Turner. I think Myers
Speaker 1: can give you more of a ceiling before we move on.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Before we move on? Frank
Speaker 1: greted one more time, one more time, one more time
Speaker 1: for the little boys and girls at home listening, Will
Speaker 1: Myers arm back tricepts, Oh beliefs. What that is a lot?
Speaker 1: What that is scary? That's his inside and you got
Speaker 1: to keep I looked over, I looked over to your
Speaker 1: sheet before you had a bunch of notes on Josh
Speaker 1: Donaldson obviously on atlant up batting second this year. What
Speaker 1: do you think I don't want him either. Look, I'm
Speaker 1: not doing the injury optimism thing like that's been a
Speaker 1: very consistent theme. But these are all guys a directing late.
Speaker 1: They all have late just to talking about round that's
Speaker 1: not late. Yes it's not late, but it's been where
Speaker 1: you're gonna find people that all have issues, right, they
Speaker 1: all have some sort of issues. So you got to
Speaker 1: decipher between that with everybody. But look, would you rather
Speaker 1: take Josh Donaldson or would you rather wait fifty picks
Speaker 1: and take a post hype sleeper and Raphael Devers? Oh? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I love that's what That's what you weigh, right, Like,
Speaker 1: you're right, all these play layers at this point they
Speaker 1: have their awards and you have to weigh that. But
Speaker 1: you're getting it. You're telling me you're getting a fifty
Speaker 1: round difference for Rafael Devers at a younger player in
Speaker 1: a pretty good Boston Red Sox lineup as well, and
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the injury risks, have the injury risk,
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, you have to ask yourself. You gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta weigh the cons of each of the of
Speaker 1: the players at this point because they all have cons
Speaker 1: but to me, the consort Josh Donaldson are huge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not It's been consistent theme of mine. I'm
Speaker 1: not buying the injury optimism this year. Correa, Chris Bryant,
Speaker 1: Josh Donaldson, I don't want to do it. And then
Speaker 1: you're like, you're getting Josh Donaldson around a hundred, which
Speaker 1: is much later than what he normally like last year
Speaker 1: was going like the third fourth round. But he's another guy.
Speaker 1: He was dealing with a calf injury. He's dealing with
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury. He's one year older. I love the
Speaker 1: lineup in Atlanta, but they've already talked about are they
Speaker 1: gonna play him every single day? Like this is a
Speaker 1: team that might give him a day off for two
Speaker 1: days off per week because they have a serviceable back
Speaker 1: Johan Camargo, Like, you know, you gotta play every day,
Speaker 1: Like they need to preserve him too. He's putting he
Speaker 1: bet on himself. He's playing in a one year contract
Speaker 1: right now, approve yourself deal and then he'll try and
Speaker 1: turn this into like a two or three year contract. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how much longer. Is he gonna last? Could list and
Speaker 1: be agis. I would promise you he's not getting that
Speaker 1: kind of just like I mean, you should be listening.
Speaker 1: You're you're if you look at history, you're technically going
Speaker 1: to decline once you turn like has basically a full
Speaker 1: season over the last two years. He's missed a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty nine games. He played fifty two games last season.
Speaker 1: Could not be he has like one of the widest
Speaker 1: range of outcomes. Like if he plays a hundred and
Speaker 1: forty hundred fifty games, he's gonna he's gonna score a
Speaker 1: hundred runs. He'll bring one and he's gonna hit you know,
Speaker 1: to seventy with the thirty five home runs and then
Speaker 1: right or he could play fifty games and you know last,
Speaker 1: But you're right, Devers is much better grab because you're
Speaker 1: getting him much later. The value so much better. I
Speaker 1: mentioned on the Shortstop Show a guy that I like
Speaker 1: to said were Escobar. I think that's I think that's
Speaker 1: kind of cool. Um. I think he plays every day
Speaker 1: really year. Last year is kind of boring. It's like
Speaker 1: two sixty sounds at me adding second in the Diamondbacks line.
Speaker 1: Every day, you'll probably get like eight and you get
Speaker 1: you get a good position in eligibil to eve with
Speaker 1: Escobar as well. I believe he has second base and
Speaker 1: third base. Yes, he's the guy you're getting. Is everybody for?
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know what I want to ask?
Speaker 1: You know what I want him ask my middle endfielder.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted field that's a perfect utility guy.
Speaker 1: A lot of people like it gets like, you know,
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen stole bases out of their middle endfielder.
Speaker 1: Escobar is not going to give you that. Going down
Speaker 1: lest here, that's what the happens here feels to like
Speaker 1: that guy. I like him, like him because I've had
Speaker 1: multiple years. He's a headache to own, a complete headache. No,
Speaker 1: I mean I like him. I will take him once
Speaker 1: I see a sign of progress because there's no happy
Speaker 1: This year is kind of like the Javier Bias situation
Speaker 1: from years past, but on steroids, because he swings and
Speaker 1: misses a crazy amount of His strikeout rate is crazy.
Speaker 1: He also walks a lot. But you know what, what
Speaker 1: do we always say about Javier Bias? We kind of
Speaker 1: worry about is he gonna play every day like Joe Madden?
Speaker 1: Kind of like this. But he's the same thing with
Speaker 1: he had Ye. He doesn't play everything like you know
Speaker 1: he didn't. He's in and out of the lineup. There
Speaker 1: were you know, they're against lefties. They might play Albert
Speaker 1: Almore Jr. In center field. So here's the thing we
Speaker 1: have to worry. But but let's say half starts, just
Speaker 1: starts raking right, you're not taking him out of the
Speaker 1: line up. He could easily get himself to become an
Speaker 1: everyday player. That's all on him, you know, MADDI will
Speaker 1: throw him in there once he starts ripping. He just
Speaker 1: wasn't ripping. He wasn't doing it consistently enough. So he's
Speaker 1: twenty four years all, he's young. He's still got promised.
Speaker 1: But this is a guy you don't even need to draft.
Speaker 1: You can probably just wait watch him play, keep a
Speaker 1: good one on him, put him on your watch list,
Speaker 1: and then once he starts eating up, if you need help,
Speaker 1: you pick him up. I wouldn't draft him, though I
Speaker 1: wouldn't team league. It's different, Greg. It is worth mentioning mcguilson. No,
Speaker 1: I have to get my gotta get my Miguelson up here.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that every year. I try to make
Speaker 1: the case for mcguilson know, and I mean this year specifically,
Speaker 1: he's going outside the top of two So you're getting
Speaker 1: him at the discount that you've wanted the past. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, look the bat Derek Cardi projections he has
Speaker 1: twenty nine hitters projected to hit thirty plus home runs
Speaker 1: this year. Miguelson no is one of those, uh, and
Speaker 1: he there's only three players that he has projected for
Speaker 1: thirty plus home runs. We're going outside the top two hundred.
Speaker 1: It's Miguelson, Know, Kyle Schwarber, and Justin Smoke. So if
Speaker 1: you're trying to find power late, I think Miguelson know
Speaker 1: is one of those guys. And you know, I'm really
Speaker 1: kind of I'm taking a stroll down narrative street here, Greg,
Speaker 1: because I do think having a veteran presence in the
Speaker 1: lineup like Nelson Cruz, you know, these guys are both
Speaker 1: natives of the Dominican Republic. I think having that kind
Speaker 1: of uh, that kind of presidence and that kind of
Speaker 1: player around him is going to kind of help the maturity.
Speaker 1: The maturity and the injuries have been the two biggest
Speaker 1: issues for mcguilson. Know he's had some off the field issues. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's dealt with a lot of injuries.
Speaker 1: Last year the bottom completely fell out home runs. But
Speaker 1: this is a guy who you know among the power,
Speaker 1: Like you want to talk about hitting the ball hard
Speaker 1: career forty two point six percent hard hit rate. Uh,
Speaker 1: He's gonna strike out a lot, and you know his
Speaker 1: batting average is gonna fluctuate. You know, this is kind
Speaker 1: of what we used to say about Sea Rus Davis
Speaker 1: Chris Davis from Baltimore a couple of years ago. Is
Speaker 1: he strikes out so much that his batting average volatility
Speaker 1: can reign from two thirty to two sixty. But he
Speaker 1: hits the ball extremely hard. That's the same you didn't
Speaker 1: care about back then because he was doing so well
Speaker 1: and hit so many bombs, you didn't care about his average.
Speaker 1: I like to Twins lineup two. I'm in. I'm in
Speaker 1: on the Twins lineup, man. Like a lot of people
Speaker 1: have expectations for Max Kepler this year. They bringing Nelson Cruz,
Speaker 1: Eddie Rosario, I mean steady Eddie. You know two years
Speaker 1: in a row to eight home runs Byron Buckston has
Speaker 1: a little bit of upside in this lineup to like,
Speaker 1: I like this lineup. I like this. But Gilson, know
Speaker 1: to me, is a guy who has the opportunity to hit.
Speaker 1: You know, the batting average isn't gonna be good. He's probably,
Speaker 1: like I think, on the higher end of things, he'll
Speaker 1: be here. He could be ext but I haven't projected
Speaker 1: for two forty five. But he could hit thirty home runs.
Speaker 1: And if he does that in the Twins line up,
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna drive an ad R BIS and you're
Speaker 1: getting him outside the top two hundred, so so you've
Speaker 1: really got a lot of risk. He's one of these
Speaker 1: guys where I think he has thirty home home a upside.
Speaker 1: He's going out drift him as a bench guy though, Really,
Speaker 1: if I get him as my corner infielder, I don't
Speaker 1: hate it. You don't hate it. I don't hate it. Utility.
Speaker 1: See this is where I say, this is where the
Speaker 1: bottom of Marwin they bring Marwigen Zollison and if struggles
Speaker 1: what he gonna play, If Byron Buckston play, if Myron
Speaker 1: buckson shows they can play. But you know they can
Speaker 1: move them around. You know they'll they'll give everyone kind
Speaker 1: of a day off here and then before Polanco a
Speaker 1: day off, they'll play Marwin and Zalez like they're one
Speaker 1: of those types of teams. And I will say, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the first things when Marwinken Zala signed and
Speaker 1: I told you greg is, I was, I was a
Speaker 1: little worried about mcgilson. Know if he struggles, they have
Speaker 1: someone now that they could plug in any other third
Speaker 1: basement that we have not mentioned. Chris, you want to
Speaker 1: throw out there. We have a middle left. You mentioned
Speaker 1: Jake Lamb. Baby, Jake Lamb guy. I love Jake Lamb. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean you get him for nothing. You can just
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna watch him and maybe I'll pick him up.
Speaker 1: Jake Lamb. I mean that's a guy with great power
Speaker 1: to uh walks a lot those all those things. He's
Speaker 1: just terrible books lefties. Ah, he has to fix that. Months.
Speaker 1: I mean we said months, you're not really interested, right,
Speaker 1: I don't really pro far sure it kind of falls
Speaker 1: out after that. I got happy. I got Mustakis. I
Speaker 1: got to know there a wad o Escobar. Oh, here's
Speaker 1: some really deep guys. Jamir Candelario, Dia, Oh Goddario interested. Listen,
Speaker 1: he's got bat in the heart of the Detroit lineup right,
Speaker 1: he's gonna leave, He's gonna lead off. Yeah, whatever, wherever
Speaker 1: he bats in the top four, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: That means he's got production value. Let me know. And
Speaker 1: the show's gonna shot at the Mets because it's fun.
Speaker 1: Uh And announcing the Aaron Hicks extension the Yankees talking
Speaker 1: to love It, O P, S, O B P, war
Speaker 1: walk Right, Chase Rate, w R C plus and stack cast.
Speaker 1: That's direction the Yankees are going in Mets rb i's run.
