WEBVTT 1 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.039 Greding soncalutations everyone. It's for twelve. I'm walking to Fantasy Baseball Live and 2 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.640 Happy New Year. It is the second of January, ten o'clock in the 3 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.640 morning. Tim, Happy new year. Happy new year to you as well, 4 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.159 Rich and looking at the news this morning. Very happy new year to 5 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:45.039 about four hundred people in Japan today. Unfortunately not everybody. Everybody on the 6 00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.640 passenger plane survived. I don't know, did you see that accident? I 7 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.759 heard about it. I thought a few people got killed, though, didn't 8 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.600 they. I think there was four or five people that got killed, Yes, 9 00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:00.399 on the Coastguard plane. There was another one. Yes. Plane was 10 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.719 coming into land low on fuel and hit a Coast Guard plane apparently took the 11 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.359 wing of the air bus, shared it right off and both of them sort 12 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:15.239 of exploded and UH and a ball of fire. But they got everybody off 13 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.760 the passenger plane. Unfortunately, five of the six on the Coast Guard plane 14 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.799 UH were killed. But that followed up from yes, from yesterday's earthquake. 15 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.359 So yeah, it's not been a happy new year for the for our friends 16 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:37.719 out in Japan. No, let's just hope that the tsunami situation UH doesn't 17 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.519 rear its ugly head for sure. For sure, I didn't have time to 18 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:46.000 catch up on the news because someone was busy writing up second base rankings and 19 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.120 then I had to put them all out on the on all of our sites. 20 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.480 So that's what I was doing this morning. Who could that ever be? 21 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.319 I don't know, close to deadline. Yeah, it's very well, 22 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.040 I got Look, it's all about process, so you just get you give 23 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.239 them in. I hit a couple of buttons. Everything gets twisted around and 24 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.439 pumped out so it looks it looks fine. I love the way that I'm 25 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.599 getting the information back from you. The spreadsheet. It encompasses everything. It 26 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.719 just means I don't have to have eight hundred and seventeen windows open and bounce 27 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.879 around all over the place. Perfect. Yeah, and we're putting them out 28 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.800 for our patron subscribers in that spreadsheet format, so if people like to have 29 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.520 that. Yeah, Yeah, they're all out there, all in a nice 30 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:37.039 little collection. The Tim McCleod Baseball rankings, whatever they're called. I forgot 31 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.400 what exactly what I called them, but yeah, So Tim, we've got 32 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.240 a we've got a great show planned. I think we're going to talk about 33 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:49.479 the big Chrissale tray, and a couple of other things. Second base preview, 34 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.800 and then if we get to it, the San Francisco prospects so good, 35 00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:00.280 stuffyet lots lots lots to cover, lots to cover, lots of before 36 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.159 we start, Tim, what what is today's state? It is January second? 37 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:12.560 And what do I always do on January first? Rip down the old 38 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.000 calendars and put up the new ones? Uh? Do people do that anymore? 39 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:23.039 Rich? Rich? Rich? Come on, come on? Do you 40 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.960 really have a paper calendar up on your wall? Sitting right in front of 41 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.800 me on the wall is a paper calendar. Around the corner where my old 42 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.800 phone landline used to be, there's a paper calendar. And on the door 43 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.800 frame as we enter my abode there is another paper calendar. And I've got 44 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:51.680 a desk calendar. You've got yeah, three paper calendars. Four totally yeah. 45 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:59.199 Wow. Some say I may maybe a dinosaur. But do they have 46 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.759 I mean, are they the baseball related or they are they from the Nationwide 47 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:08.319 insurance guy? I mean, what are they? You know, what is 48 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:13.240 the bank I deal with? Okay, give the three calendars. You haven't 49 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.199 paid for any of these? Well, of course not. I know Hey, 50 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.800 I got to get something out of my bank for all the charges they 51 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:24.920 nailed me with during the year. That my revenge is a host filled with 52 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.040 banking calendars. Okay, wow. So as as a gift to you, 53 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.639 the next time I get a calendar paper, I'm gonna send you one from 54 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.480 from the US to me a United States. I think we get one from 55 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.160 our town here in Morristown. You can see all the happenings that you're missing 56 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.240 up in Fort Francis, that you're missing in Marstown, New Jersey. Well, 57 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.399 that's sweet, because all of my calendars are in metric, I'll have 58 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.199 one. I impurial, right, that's funny. That's why. No, 59 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.480 what I do every January first time is my draft. I do an NFBC 60 00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:00.319 draft. Remember, oh oh that's right. Yeah, even our lists, 61 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.240 even our listeners, remember, because I've already gotten a couple of emails and 62 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.079 notes. Have you started your draft yet? And of course, my good 63 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.160 buddy Tim McCloud does he remember no, because he doesn't listen. He doesn't 64 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.920 listen people exactly. So what draft, selet did you pull? Number two? 65 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.439 Oh? Number two? That means you got the choice there, But 66 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:27.639 I probably Corbyn Carroll. Right, well, uh, so this is what 67 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.839 I did, Timmy. Now you're probably going, I know you're not gonna 68 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.079 like what I did, but this is what I did. Okay, So 69 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:40.720 Ronald count went one one and as as call when we were going through this, 70 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.000 uh and I when I did my draft targets out on the Patriots site 71 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.279 a couple of months ago, I said, if Bobby wit Junior was on 72 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.720 the board, I was going to take them. I took Bobby wit Junior. 73 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.199 I went number two, Bobby with Junior. And you know, I 74 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.079 looked at Corbyn Carroll, I looked at Julio Rodriguez, all of them, 75 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.399 there were everybody was everybody was there except for Ronald Acunya. And I looked 76 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.439 at the power and the speed, you know, the batting average it was 77 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:10.959 okay last season. I mean I've dove into Bobby wit Junior two waists a 78 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.759 Sunday. I mean there could be some pressure on the batting average. It's 79 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.439 not an only base percentage league. I probably would not have gone in that 80 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:21.160 direction an only base percentage league, but understandable. It's twenty five, twenty 81 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.680 five, ten, maybe more. Yeah, No, did the our discussions 82 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.639 with regards to the outfield and some of the potential challenges. Did you weigh 83 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.040 those into your decision? I did. I did. I'll tell you what 84 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.040 I did. But this is what's fascinating, and this is just one one 85 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:45.120 league. Can I read you the first round? Sure? Akunya, Bobby 86 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.079 Witt, Juli Rodriguez, Kyle Tucker moves up to number four. Have you 87 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.720 heard Corbyn Carroll's name yet? No, I was going to say, I'm 88 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.800 still waiting for Corbyn's name to be called. We're up to four down, 89 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.199 We're I pick number five. It is not Corbyn Carroll. Time Freddie Freeman, 90 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:08.879 followed by Mookie Betts, followed by Spencer Strider and then finally Corbyn Carroll 91 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.199 comes in at number eight. So this team eight Hoppy whoever the owner of 92 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.120 Hoppy is he must Yeah, he's he's the team owner. That's what he 93 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:23.720 puts. That sounds like that sounds like our friend Chris Chris from uh the 94 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:29.680 British Isles com Fruite is is He's he's a guy on our patriot side. 95 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.720 He picked number one. Rap Aster picked Ronald Cooney. I would have thought 96 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.639 he would have seen Wilson. It was December thirty first he had said, 97 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.000 I'll let Rich have ronald'acunyan note him, he did not. I didn't. 98 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.360 I wasn't aware that you started drinking Rich exactly right. But Corbyn Carroll, 99 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.680 I mean that guy must congratulations to team Hoppy. I mean he got a 100 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.399 I think he got a huge bargain there. And Freddy Freeman in the fifth 101 00:07:55.439 --> 00:08:00.120 level, that's that's that's yeah, that that's a pretty aggressive pull for fred 102 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:05.360 Freeman. Well, when you look at first base, I know it's not 103 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.199 hey, you know, there's some challenges you got, you got a group 104 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.480 at the top, and then you got a lot of question marks. But 105 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:18.240 man Oatfield, I yeah, I would have probably went Corbyn Carroll with two 106 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.959 or three. Yeah. I mean I I can't blame I can't blame myself 107 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.680 for taking Bobby with Julio Rodriguez. I get that, Kyle Tucker, I 108 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.839 get that. But the Freddie Freeman and Spencer Strider, those were you know, 109 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.919 I those those were aggressive picks in my humble opinion, So Corby Carroll, 110 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.759 Fernando Tatis Junior, Juan Soda, which I think is a great pick. 111 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.919 I put him up right after all the other outfielders. Then Trey Turner, 112 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.600 Bryce Harper moves way up to number twelve, Jose Ramirez, Matt Olsen, 113 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.600 and Showey Otani Is. Did you hear the name Garrett Cole? Uh 114 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.600 No, But I'm still of the mindset that I will take Garrett Cole. 115 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.480 I had a Spencer Strider, so I'll take Spencer Strider ahead of Garrett Cole. 116 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.919 But I totally get the Garrett Cole, and I totally get Garrett Cole 117 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.399 in the first round, but he lasted all the way back to pick sixteen, 118 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:16.559 seventy eighty pick nineteen. Tim Yeah, starting pitching is that game is 119 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.120 changing and changing very quickly, isn't it as compared to what we've seen over 120 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:26.360 the past several years. So Garrett Cole went Spencer Strider, the only pitcher 121 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.879 taken in the first first round, Garrett Cole two four second round, fourth 122 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.639 pick, and then Zach Wheeler was the next pitcher, Kevin Goffsman, Lewis 123 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.480 Castill, Corbyn Burns. So Corbyn Burns dropped a little bit which I found 124 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.840 to be pretty interesting. So we got five pictures in the second round. 125 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.399 That's that's heavy. That's heavy. Yeah, what came back to you? 126 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.120 So I was pretty convinced I was going to get I was going to get 127 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.159 one of three outfielders. I was going to take an outfielder with my second 128 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.120 pick, Timmy, come hell or high water. Unless these three guys got 129 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.559 taken off the board, maybe four guys got taken off the board. There 130 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.759 was no way in hell I was gonna take on the Jones. So anyway, 131 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:16.559 So Michael Harris, Lewis Robert, Randy A. Rosarina, and o'doley's 132 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:22.039 Garcia were all sitting there. I'm sorry Lewis Robert went rout before my pick. 133 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.360 So Michael Harris, Randy A. Rosreina, and Doley's Garcia and I 134 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.840 studied the data two ways of Sunday, tim and to me, it would 135 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:37.279 have been Michael Harris or Randy A. Rosarina, and I took Mike and 136 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:43.080 I took Michael Harris. Good for you, Uh? I like that pick. 137 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.559 Yeah. I think a rose arena provides you with a safer floor. 138 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.919 But the upside potential out of Harris would lead me to one ahead in that 139 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.759 direction, just to see how much upside is there, because I think there's 140 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.720 a lot more in the tank than we've seen so far. I think a 141 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.799 Rosarina is a fine pick, but I think he is where he is and 142 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.399 when I would go with that upside potential, I looked at it. So 143 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.200 I've got a big spreadsheet for people in the picture in sight. They know 144 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.960 what I'm talking about. They have all the players in there, and that 145 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.919 rank them by different you know, swinging strikes in the zone, out of 146 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:22.399 the zone, all of this kind of hard hit rates, all that kind 147 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.799 of stuff. And they both are very, very similar. But I just 148 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.200 like the upside of Harris a little bit more. He's a little bit faster 149 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:37.240 than a Rose Arena and quite frankly, with the wander Franco not likely not 150 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.720 being there in the season and in the haze of that over overwhelming that was 151 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.240 a little bit of a push to Michael Harrison. Clearly Atlanta Braves going for 152 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.639 it. I took him there then, and I wanted Gunner Henderson Town, 153 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.120 and he was still on the board, and I'm like, I mean, 154 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.360 I gotta take I gotta have the outfield or I cannot risk going into it 155 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.840 without an outfielder. So I took Harris and then I came back and I 156 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.720 there was a lot of pictures on the board team. I did not want 157 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.399 to wait all the way back to pick fifty nine for my first picture makes 158 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.080 sense, and I was I was contemplating Pablo Lopez, is that at Galen, 159 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.039 George Kirby, Trek Scouble. I thought it was a too early for 160 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.159 Terrek Schouble. I loved George, I loved the other three. But when 161 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.720 I took a look at the date and people in the Patreon site, well 162 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.879 know this, Pablo Lopez was the guy. The date was far superior than 163 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.600 the other two guys. So there is And look, he had that shoulder 164 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.960 injury a couple of years ago. I think that's behind him. So yes, 165 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.000 I got with. I got Bobby Wit twenty five, twenty five, 166 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.840 Michael Harris twenty twenty, and I got a really good starting pitcher, so 167 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.799 I'm pretty psyched him. Yeah it's a good start. Yeah. I figured 168 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.759 for sure you'd be taking a picture because the last thing you wanted to do 169 00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:00.919 is depend on others to choose your fate. And by leaving picture to your 170 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:07.600 four or five swing, yeah, you're putting your faith and trust in the 171 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.120 rest of the group, leaving you something. And the odds are pretty good 172 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.799 that with only five six starters off the board, you're gonna see starting pitching 173 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.240 going to the other eight nine teams, right, yep, yeah, So 174 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.919 you're gonna be left with You're gonna be left the spoils. And I think 175 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:31.480 it's a good thing that you took it, took the situation under control and 176 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.240 picked your faith. Now you can come back with power and whatever you want. 177 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.879 When you're next to you can go with another starting pitcher if you want. 178 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.360 Yeah, But just so everybody knows, I mean, we're mid middle 179 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.080 of the fourth round now, and the starting pitchers that are out, they're 180 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.960 still very good starting pitchers, but the top guy is from Rivaldez, Blake 181 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.200 Snell, Logan, Gilbert Logan Web. You're at that level now. And 182 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.879 I just felt like Pablo Lopez, George Kirby, we're at a little bit 183 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.360 higher, higher level. So that's why I went ahead. And I was 184 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.519 not going to get slickered into the Blake Snow No, I didn't want to 185 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.120 do that. So I and Framer Valdez. I like Framer Valdez, but 186 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.440 I just don't know, so it's uh So then I was looking at the 187 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.759 Logan's Gilbert or Web and I just did I wanted somebody more as my number 188 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:22.840 one starter. Yeah, I don't understand what's happening with Logan web that one. 189 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.879 I I I don't have that one figured out yet because I think he's 190 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:33.720 going I think he's falling too far. Okay, we're talking about a pitcher 191 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.799 that over the past two innings two years seasons. Yeah, past, yeah, 192 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.720 past two seasons. You know, in twenty two he threw one hundred 193 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.240 and ninety two innings. Last year to sixteen. Okay, the strikeouts one 194 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:52.799 sixty three, one four. Okay, he's won twenty six games the ERA 195 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.279 two ninety three, twenty five, WEB one sixteen one oh seven. I 196 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.200 just don't think Logan Webb is getting the love that he that he should be 197 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:09.759 getting based on that that work or horse mentality that he throws out there, 198 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:15.120 combined with the fact that he's keeping he's keeping the e r A in checks. 199 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.879 So, Hey, if Web came could find a way to come back 200 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.360 to you with your fourth pick, I know what I'd be doing. I'm 201 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.840 not I'm not I'm not taking them. I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna 202 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:31.759 tell you why. Okay, Yeah, he is getting hit extremely hard. 203 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:37.240 His average exit velocity off the bat is in the bottom ten percent. In 204 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.639 other words, he's given up a lot of hard hit rates you could say 205 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.519 are the top ten in terms of average X velocity. I mean his heart 206 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:48.120 hit rates. Uh, timmy, he is six in the league and giving 207 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.559 up hard hit balls. And you take a look he is. He is 208 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.000 no longer thrown the four seamer. It is all change up sinker and his 209 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.440 whiff rates on his his change up is twenty two eight, which is good, 210 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.720 not great. His slider's twenty eight to six, which is solid, 211 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.279 and his sinker's ten point four. So he is just not missing a lot 212 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.200 of bats. So I don't know. His era is three twenty five, 213 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.279 is expected eras three sixty three. It's a very good picture. I think 214 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.679 there's some warning signs there, So I'm going to buy I'm going to bypass 215 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:23.840 him. Yeah, I also have a little bit of a bias with web 216 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.879 and that he won was largely responsible for winning a league for me last year, 217 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.159 So yeah, there is a bias there. But yeah, we're looking 218 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.200 at a guy that, in all probability is going to pitch close to two 219 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.159 hundred innings. And once you get once you get through the next group of 220 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.759 pitchers. This next sort of a little mini tier that falls off quick. 221 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:51.799 And I don't blame you for passing on Trek's Schooble. Hey, I love 222 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.320 what he did in the second half, but there is no sustained history of 223 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:03.480 one hundred and sixty hundred seventy plus innings worth of workload out of Schooble, 224 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.519 and that there's there's my concern lines to me, Timmy, I don't know 225 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:12.119 about you. It's in the first five rounds where you draft. It pretty 226 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.960 much dictates the type that the the players that will be there. I mean, 227 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.519 I love Wan So, I think there's huge value for Wan Soda. 228 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.160 But if I'm picking two, I'm not taking Wan So. I mean just 229 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.400 not so it doesn't diminish my love for Wan Soda, particularly this year. 230 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.039 I just think there's better options there. I love Tarik's Schooble, I'm not 231 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.880 taking him. And with pick number thirty two or whatever, I took him 232 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.279 out. I don't so it's but if I was picking at the end, 233 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.079 uh, you know, on the wheel, and I he was my fourth 234 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.960 pick, yeah, I would jump on Eric Schuble. So it really depends 235 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.960 on where you're picking the slot that you're picking early in drafts. I hope 236 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.920 ya was there for you. He has gone, he is gone? I 237 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.160 I I, oh, yeah, I should talk were he? I actually 238 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:06.359 smiled and he went off the board. I'm like, sucker. He went 239 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.920 off on car Chars fourth round, second pick, fourth round, second pick. 240 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.039 Okay, so our buddy Hoppy again. If that's the guy that you 241 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.440 know, Corbyn Carroll, Zach Wheeler, bobashet that's a strong one two three, 242 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:26.559 very strong? Where did Lad go? Vlad Guarrira of Vlad Guerrera of 243 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:33.680 Vlad Carira? Lad? Where's Flad Carrera Flat Gerra Sol on the board and 244 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:38.240 you're getting into the middle part of the fourth round. I don't see him 245 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:44.640 Inerson. Yeah, oh there he is. I'm sorry. Middle middle of 246 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.559 the third inning, middle thirdy, middle of the third round. Pick Yeah 247 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.720 yeah, sorry, middle of the third round. Bobachette first, Flad Flat 248 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.160 Guerra second. So okay, yeah, yeah, okay, now that's cool. 249 00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:02.640 I apologize. I apologies, Lad Career. Then Boba shet So went 250 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:07.920 one slot ahead up. So that's that's what I did on New Yursday. 251 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.519 Tim, Yeah, keep us updated. I'm curious to see how it shakes 252 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.160 down with your next set of picks if you want, if you want to 253 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.640 join us at the Patren sight. So my draft targets, those are the 254 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.119 guys I'm going after. So uh, I'm probably going to get a closer 255 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.400 to him on this next you know, in the next four or five picks, 256 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:32.720 once they're made. I'm I've decided with you that I want a solid 257 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.400 closer. I'm not playing the uh, you know, betting on Alex Lang 258 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:44.000 or are the guys around Alex Lang. I'll have him as my second guy, 259 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.400 but I'm not gonna I'm not going to focus on one of those guys. 260 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:52.279 In the NFC, you closers go early. So well, yeah, 261 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.720 the bottom line there is there there's no trays, there's no pickups. That's 262 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.440 if you don't have yourself a solid closer, you're basically taking a chance. 263 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.319 I'm blowing off and playing five by four. That's not that's not a recipe. 264 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:10.160 I don't believe for success more times than not. So yeah, you 265 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:11.920 gotta get yourself a closer in the drafting hold. I mean, let let's 266 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.960 take a break, come back and talk about the Chris Sale trade. Sounds 267 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:29.759 good. I don't know if it was nears for New Year's Day. But 268 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.880 some day in the last couple of days, there was a big trade, 269 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.359 Timmy. The Braves acquired Chris Sale from the Red Sox for Vaughn Grissom, 270 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:45.000 And uh, I gotta tell you, and we'll talk about your opinion on 271 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.640 it. I'll just say I love the trade for both sides. I mean 272 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.359 Chris Sale is not the same guy. I mean he's older, he's more 273 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:55.680 brittle now, and Vaughan Grissom was not going to get a chance in Atlanta. 274 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:59.599 I think it's a win win for everybody. That Braves are going for 275 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.160 it. Red Sox are getting out from under Chris Sound his big contract they 276 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.160 probably should have never done, and Von Gerson gets a shot. Yeah, 277 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.440 I agree with you. It's you know, when you look at the Braves, 278 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:17.440 Okay, you know Spencer Strider, Max Fred two really nice pictures at 279 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:21.559 the top. But then you got forty year old Charlie Morton, okay, 280 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:25.880 nearing the end of his career, who knows what to expect. And you 281 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:32.640 know Bryce Elder, Chris Spring Chicken each So no he's not. But if 282 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:38.440 the Braves, the Braves needed another starting pitcher and short of going out into 283 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:45.480 the free free agent market and spending at least one hundred million, because I 284 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:51.279 think that's that's in an Auga range. Okay, and possibly a bit more 285 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:56.599 from Montgomery or Snell. Unless you're willing to commit to a long term contract. 286 00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.759 The only way you're going to get a starting picture is too is through 287 00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.839 the trade. Via the trade situation. So yeah, I think the Braves 288 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.799 did well. They traded a way to them an extra, an extra body, 289 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:17.079 a very young with very very high upside potential, I believe. But 290 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.599 they also got themselves a pitcher that they need and they're in it to win 291 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:25.000 it, so it makes sense. And Boston on the other end, yeah, 292 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:29.880 hey, I think they're happy to get a young player with the upside 293 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.759 potential of Von Grissom for Chris Sale who you know, Hey, hey, 294 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:40.200 the number numbers are there, one hundred and forty seven innings in twenty nineteen 295 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:45.599 forty two innings, five point two innings, one hundred and two innings. 296 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.680 Yeah, it was. It was an improvement last last year, so I 297 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:51.880 mean we did need to give him credit there. I mean, hopefully he 298 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.160 has passed a you know what was ever ailing on them and you know, 299 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:59.799 look it was expected ere three seventy one. He didn't pitch all that poorly, 300 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.519 but I think to expect two hundred innings at him is probably not not 301 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.559 good and I it's probably not the right position. And you have to believe, 302 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.960 like with Kershaw, once he comes back in these older guys sures or 303 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:15.279 when he comes back, they're not gonna pitch him a ton during the regular 304 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.279 season. Ten They're gonna wait to make sure he's ready for the for the 305 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.960 postseason, don't you think, Well, yeah, I'd be shocked if Sale 306 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.160 gets much more than one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty innings. Yeah, 307 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.440 yeah, they want him for the postseason. Charlie Morton the same thing, 308 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.319 one hundred and thirty hundred and forty innings. They want, you know, 309 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.640 to have access to him in the playoffs. The only pitcher on the Braves 310 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.839 roster that I think will come close to the two hundred inning mark might be 311 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:47.359 Striker. Yeah. Yeah. Other than that, yeah, they're gonna be 312 00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.359 very careful what they do with their pitching. And hey, it makes total 313 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.799 sense because there isn't a whole lot of it out there and the price to 314 00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.440 acquire it, Hey, supply demand it's not gonna be cheap. If you 315 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:04.000 want yourself even a mid level starter, you're gonna pay for it. And 316 00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:11.599 they've, at least for now, it looks like they've addressed that concern. 317 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.160 So hey, good for both parties. I like it. You couldn't be 318 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.039 sitting there with, you know, a fourty year old Charlie Morton starting hopefully 319 00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.680 making it to the postseason starting Game three, and if he doesn't, you're 320 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.160 looking at Bryce Elder. That was that was not that was an untenable situation 321 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:33.079 for the team. That good in my opinion, And I think this just 322 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.759 it shows up the regular season. Yeah, I think Bryce Elder and A. 323 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.039 J. Smith Shover, maybe even Hirston Waldrip, they're all going to 324 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.720 get a shot. But they're not at the level of Chris Sale. No, 325 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.480 they're not. They don't have the experience. I can't. I don't 326 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.440 have the pure raw stuff of Chris Sale. I mean it's still pretty good 327 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:57.079 stuff. Yeah, oh no, I yeah. Hey, if I could 328 00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:00.920 get a three seventy five three year a out of Chris Sale on one hundred 329 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.319 and fifty innings, I think that would be considered a success. Yep. 330 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.319 Now he is going so yeah, he's going to be thirty five. Let's 331 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.599 do I have he's a seventieth pitcher off the board. Let's call it the 332 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:17.039 fiftieth starter. What do you think is that? Is that interest to you 333 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.880 at all? Or is that a pass? I would depend on how my 334 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:29.680 pitching looks at that at that stage of the game. Probably a pass, 335 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:33.759 because I'm gonna think I'm gonna have three good starters and I'll roll the dice. 336 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:40.039 There's some starters going way later than I think they should be. Okay, 337 00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:44.720 I think I would focus on them, and probably in and about that 338 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:49.079 pick range, i'd probably look at a bat. But you know you're at 339 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:53.519 fiftieth starter off the board. Yeah, seventy. Yeah, he's going. 340 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.200 It's not a bad price to pay for Chris Sale. I just don't think 341 00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:02.279 it'll be in the cards for me personally. Chris Sale at seventy or Bryce 342 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:08.319 Miller at seventy one Miller, Chris Sale or Brian wu at seventy two? 343 00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:17.319 Sale? Really yeah, I'll go with sail there. Wow, Okay, 344 00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:25.920 Chris Sale or at seventy three Braxton Garrett Sale? Uh, Nick Pavetta, 345 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:32.960 Oh Sale, Hunter Brown, you got to countor Brown? Hunter Brown? 346 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:41.079 Eddie Rodriguez, Chris Sale, I'll go with I'll go with the Rudd last 347 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:48.319 guy, Shane bows At seventy seven Sale, Okay, okay, So I 348 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:56.599 mean you got Edward Cabrera and this is a whole bunch of pictures after that 349 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.359 that I find really intriguing. So you know, that might be the time 350 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:06.880 where I'm going to approach bats and dry and shore up some positional players and 351 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.880 try and cherry picked my way through some starting pitching a little bit later. 352 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.720 Yeah, everybody, don't don't sleep on Brian Woo. That's that's from Rich 353 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.680 Wilson. I could be wrong. Tim's the better Tim's a better player than 354 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.480 me, but don't sleep on Brian Wo. Okay, I thought about that 355 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.359 one. Yeah, it's yeah, it's it's reasonable, Yeah, it's yeah. 356 00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:30.839 They're both in a good spot. So I you gotta feel good for 357 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:34.319 for Vaughan Grissom. I mean, this is a kid that came up played 358 00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:40.039 okay Timmy, and then lost his job and there was no shot at at 359 00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:44.200 him playing in Atlanta unless he one or two guys got hurt. So he 360 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:48.079 gets moved his current ADPs five thirty nine. I think that's going to go 361 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.000 up. I would think, so what re realm do you do? You 362 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.559 grab him in? Well, you're going to be grabbing him as a short 363 00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:03.400 stop. Short stop that I don't think you have to I don't think you 364 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.480 have to move early. Second base is deep. You can. Hey, 365 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:15.680 I'm looking at von Grissom in the after round sixteen seventeen. When I look 366 00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:18.920 at the second base options, we're going to get into that in a bid 367 00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:25.599 second base. There's a lot of talent there. So let's let's look. 368 00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:27.920 I had the middle talent. I had the middle endfielders up, because that's 369 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:30.960 probably he's probably gonna be more of a middle endfielder. Correct. Oh, 370 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.920 yeah, he's that's definitely what you're looking. Okay, here we go Von 371 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:38.440 Grissom at fifty eight or Luis Garcia, who, by the way, Tommy 372 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.720 put Garcia Luis and uh and the notes which I thought was funny. Anyway, 373 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.480 Garcia, my most was acting up. Copy and paste was not not 374 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.519 happening. Well, Rich, I fixed it for you. Fix anyway, 375 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:59.559 Von Gris Garcia, Grissom, Uh, Von Grissom at fifty eight, Ezekiel 376 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:04.920 Duran at fifty six. I'll go with Grissom. Taylor at fifty five, 377 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.200 Chris Taylor at fifty five, Vaughan Grissom, Yeah, Grissom. Or here's 378 00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:15.799 an interesting one, Orlando Arcia at fifty four or Vaughan Grissom at fifty eight 379 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:25.640 Arsia? Really and what why is that? I like what I've seen from 380 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:32.799 Arcia. I think steady performer. He's got a solid history, something that 381 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.720 that Grissom doesn't. And you know, I'm just pulling up Arcia's stats right 382 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:45.240 now, and you know, seventeen home runs last year sixty five RBIs to 383 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:51.319 sixty four average. I ain't hurting you. And he's playing on a team 384 00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:55.279 that's going to provide him plenty of RBI opportunities Atlanta, even if he's hitting 385 00:29:55.319 --> 00:30:00.119 at the bottom of the lineup. So yeah, I'm yeah. Would you 386 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:06.119 say if von Grissom hit seventeen home runs this year, driven, drove in 387 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:08.799 sixty five, and scored sixty six, would you call it a success? 388 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.440 I would think you probably probably would were the two sixty four average. I 389 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.480 just think Arci is going to produce better than him this year long term, 390 00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:25.400 so just everybody who knows. I looked at the data and it basically shows 391 00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:27.680 that Grissom is a line drive hit or there's not a lot of launch in 392 00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:33.720 his angle so launching his swing. So just know that unless that changes, 393 00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.079 he's going to be more of a doubles guy. So I think Tim is 394 00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.200 right, like twelve to fifteen home runs. Would you say sixteen home runs? 395 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.359 That? Yeah, that feels about right. That might even be a 396 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.960 little rich, you know, from what we're looking at with the data. 397 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.319 And he has got good speed, but he is not a spurner. He's 398 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.759 only at the fifty ninth percentile again below exit exit rates. He makes really 399 00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.640 good contact and he swings at everything all right, has very low walk rate. 400 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:04.880 Guy, Yeah, you're looking at I think if you get ten home 401 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.759 runs, fifteen to eighteen stolen bases are the grissom. I think that would 402 00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:15.960 be in the right area. Yeah, I agree with you. So I 403 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:22.279 actually think he's he'll go up a little bit. But I'm thinking he's about 404 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.920 in the area that you want him in. Well. Yeah, and when 405 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.200 you start looking, you know, you're looking at mainly shortstops there, but 406 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:34.519 when you start looking at you know, second, I was just gone by 407 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.799 middle endfielder. Yes, yeah, yeah, I don't know where players like 408 00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:45.000 you know, Perdomo a personal favorite. Okay, Doomo Taylor, hold on, 409 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.200 hold on, hold on, hold on to Perdomo. I saw in 410 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.319 your your rankings how much you like Predomant Walls. Perdomo is sixty four, 411 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:59.880 Vaughan Grissom fifty eight, So you would take Doma, I'll probably take Prudoma. 412 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:07.279 Who was the other Taylor Walls Taylor seventy five. Yeah, Zake McKinstry 413 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:15.920 or sorry, Zach McKinstry. McKinstry is at sixty eight, just behind Vaughan 414 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:20.160 Grissom. Yeah, you know that these are all players that I think have 415 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:27.920 I've shown some proven skills and have jobs, and I have a hard time 416 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:34.680 taking Grissom. Yeah, unless it's for a reserve round pick. There's there's 417 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:39.079 a pile of options there you don't have to reach on Vaughan Grissom. Definitely 418 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:44.680 not agreed. A couple other quick little signings. The Red sign Frankie Montas 419 00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:46.920 one year, sixty million dollars. Of course, no such thing as a 420 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:52.079 bad one year contract, but the one years are becoming pretty expensive. Timmy, 421 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.079 he did miss most of last season, what can we expect from him 422 00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:06.079 this coming year? Having a clue hopefully help. I don't know. Yeah, 423 00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.119 I don't know either, but you know what, I think it's a 424 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:12.319 good move for the Reds. Okay, they're not going to go out there 425 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.599 and compete. They're not going to go out and spend a bundle on a 426 00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:16.599 free agent. So again, they're doing the same thing as the Braves are. 427 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.079 And hey, the Reds have got a team that can win that division. 428 00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.559 They needed another starting pitcher. They paid sixteen million in the hopes that 429 00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:30.079 Frankie Montes can stay healthy and be at least an average picture and fill out 430 00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:35.160 that rotation. So again, yeah, you're right, those one year deals 431 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:40.759 are expensive, but they're not committing five years to Blake Snell is expensive or 432 00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.440 eight years or whatever it is, you know, whatever he settles for. 433 00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:50.640 So again, the Reds took and made the best of the circumstances that they're 434 00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.519 working, the parameters that they're working within. So I got no complaints with 435 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.240 them doing that. So if you've got one of our listeners to me, 436 00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:02.119 who's got a really athletic ten year old, twelve year old that can do 437 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:08.320 everything and loves baseball, make them a pitcher man, that's where the money 438 00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:13.480 is. I mean, look, look at Red Sox signed Lucas Giolito, 439 00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:16.280 tim who has been terrible for the last few years. Two years, thirty 440 00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:21.320 eight million dollars. Yeah, well he's got an opto the first year too. 441 00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:22.719 Yeah, so if he pitches well, then he gets to go make 442 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:28.519 more. I mean yeah, even like bad pictures, are guys who have 443 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.760 barely played or getting thrown huge money and it's it is absolutely insane. Did 444 00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:37.440 I mention the six or I didn't see the six or seven of the top 445 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.199 twenty last year aren't going to be on the field this year. Yeah. 446 00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:45.199 Pitching's tough. You need it to win, and they're just simply is not 447 00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:52.760 enough of that commodity's sitting out there and as a result, hey, pitchers 448 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:59.519 are getting paid well, why versus demand Lake Snell and Jordan Montgomery and even 449 00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:01.239 your buddy a Monaga. If I'm saying the name, I mean they're they're 450 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:07.679 gonna get paid a lot of money. They're gonna get paid insanes I mean, 451 00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.599 Blake Snell's a bar Is client too, so you know he's gonna get 452 00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:14.920 paid way well. Yeah, you know, you take a look last year 453 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:20.880 the Mets got Corde Sengo right for five years of seventy five. I'm willing 454 00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:25.639 to bet that m and Auga is going to get twenty to twenty five million 455 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:30.320 more on a same five year deal than who's the better who's the better picture? 456 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:36.480 In your opinion, they're very close. Oh wow, but Senga's done 457 00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:40.599 it okay, so that gives him the edge, solidly the edge. Yeah, 458 00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:45.920 just a small under the radar trade. Uh. The Yankees acquired Cody 459 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:51.599 Marris and the Guardians for Estevan Floriel. I wrote up something on the Patreon 460 00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:58.079 site to me any thoughts on that trade. Ah, yeah, it's I 461 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.840 like, what the Yankees did they need another bullpen arm? They went out, 462 00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:02.760 they got one for something that they didn't really need. So yeah, 463 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:07.920 it works. The Guardians have got another bat they can play around with in 464 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.559 the hopes that there's a part of gold at the end of the rain rainbow 465 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:14.480 or a pot of something at the end of the rainbow. So yeah, 466 00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:16.559 it addresses a need for the Yankees. So it's not It's not a bad 467 00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:20.360 deal at all. I thought. I thought it was a little sneaky drive 468 00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.559 deal for both of them. I totally what you just said. I if 469 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.920 you look at Estevan Floria. I don't think I'll ever hit enough, but 470 00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.079 man, it's almost there. I mean, that guy could be really good 471 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:36.199 with a couple of little tweaks, somebody maybe in a new organization that tells 472 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.960 him something just a little bit different, maybe unlock something probably won't. And 473 00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:45.320 Cody Morris is the same thing. He's almost there so well, and then 474 00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:51.119 there's needs involved, right and yeah, yeah, like I said, it's 475 00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:55.239 a it's a good deal for both parties. And hey, short of the 476 00:36:55.320 --> 00:37:00.280 Yankees spending a bundle on Josh Hader, you know hit, they need the 477 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:06.679 middle. They needed a bullpen arm badly, and hopefully Morris can get that 478 00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:09.320 done for him. Did do you think that's where Josh Hader winds up as 479 00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:15.719 with the Yankees? No, I, if I had to bet, I 480 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:20.199 still like Texas. I think that's who I picked. But again, when 481 00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:23.800 you look at what the Dodgers have done so far this offseason, I wouldn't 482 00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:30.119 I wouldn't rule the Dodgers under that mix at all. Yeah, a bullpen 483 00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.800 with you know, Phillips and gregorol and Hat, that'd be a pretty good 484 00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.760 bullpen, wouldn't they Yeah? Pretty good? Pretty good to me. I 485 00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:42.119 take a break back and talk. Second Base sounds good looking forward to it. 486 00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.880 I mean, we were heading back to North Carolina this week. We 487 00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:59.480 were playing back Friday, but it looks like the storms are rolling in. 488 00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:01.480 There's a big, big storm coming up the east coast. We're gonna leave 489 00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:07.119 a date early to get back before the snow and heavy rains set in. 490 00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:12.599 Smart move. It's a heavy traffic corridor. You might as well get on 491 00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.159 the road and off the road if you know it's you know, if you 492 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.840 know that storms are brewing, Yeah, get on and get off as quick 493 00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:21.639 as you can and try and beat it out. Rich, Yep, that's 494 00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:25.199 what that's what we're up to, Tim. So I I love your second 495 00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:30.719 Base. I first of all, I love how this stuff's being presented to 496 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.239 our listeners and to our readers. I think it's really good. Tim splitting 497 00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:37.639 a little intro in front of each of the thing, each of his write 498 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.719 ups. It's really good stuff. And you can see all that on Prospect 499 00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:45.880 through sixty one and out on the Patreon site. But tell me how you 500 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:52.159 are approaching second base in a draft sitting in my chair looking at my monitor, 501 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:58.760 Rich, you know where's where? Okay? Shrimshot is duly noted. 502 00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.880 Okay, I thought it'd be a zero zero, but no, that was 503 00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:07.159 very close to So I think I saw a bad dad joke on Facebook or 504 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.760 Twitter, and one of those. Probably Facebook is a little bit kinder than 505 00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:14.760 Twitter is. It's the guy said that he's been a good boy so far 506 00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:19.480 this year. That was that was after one day, So that funny. 507 00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:23.480 Well, hey, every streak starts with one, right, Yeah, yeah, 508 00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.440 no, I when I look at second base, hey, there are 509 00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:31.880 some there are some elite options at the top of the pile and Bets Semian 510 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:37.480 and Azzi Alby's, and there's no doubting they are all leite level players. 511 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.480 First two rounds off the board, guaranteed. But then as you as you 512 00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:46.880 get down a little bit further and you start looking at yeah, well I'll 513 00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:52.599 start with Matt McClean, okay, very quickly. But when you get into 514 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:57.440 the the middle, middle, upper tier, yeah, you got a host. 515 00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:01.119 I don't think I've ever seen a position with as many players that could 516 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:06.360 be fifteen, twenty five, fifteen thirty, you know, twenty twenty you 517 00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:10.239 got Matt McClain, power Speed, Hassan Kim Power, speed, Nico Horner. 518 00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:14.119 He had ten home runs last year. Then you get in, but 519 00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:16.480 you wouldn't call that power speed. You call that speed with a little bit 520 00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:20.119 of power, right, yeah, Horner, Yes, But then you get 521 00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:24.800 into Andrea Zemenez. There's fifteen twenty five in the bank, Bryson Statt fifteen 522 00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:30.480 twenty five, Geloff could be twenty twenty, Astrada another fifteen twenty five, 523 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:42.039 Tommy Edmund thirteen fourteen thirty. Second base is deep in options, and some 524 00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.920 very very good options. You've even got your spectacs further on. So for 525 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:51.079 me, I I've already done one draft. I've seen what happens when you 526 00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:55.400 go late on outfield. I'm going to I'm going to be looking at an 527 00:40:55.400 --> 00:41:02.639 outfielder probably where semi and Alb's is gonna go off the board, and I'll 528 00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:07.840 play for that middle tier and be very happy to get one or two fifteen 529 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:14.079 twenty five type players later on I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with the 530 00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:19.440 mid pack for the most part and try and make Ay make Hay there and 531 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:23.400 Phil fill in my outfield where the elite players are. So again, I 532 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:28.639 can't fault anybody for taking you know, any of the top three and Mookie 533 00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.239 Bets is outfield eligible. Okay, so you know, hey, I've got 534 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.599 him on the second base rankings, you'll be on the outfield rankings if I 535 00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:40.360 If I'm drafting Mookie Bets, odds are pretty good that he's gonna be utilized 536 00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:44.440 in the outfield slot. So midpack for me, Rich and I think I'm 537 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:47.480 gonna make try and make my hay there. That's interesting. So so because 538 00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:53.519 conventional wisdom at least five years ago would have said Mookie Bets definitely is playing 539 00:41:53.599 --> 00:42:00.519 second base. For Yeah, that's changed. It has change. The game 540 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.639 has changed, and it's changed very very quickly. And now we've got you 541 00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:09.000 got a host of options at second base. You get power, you got 542 00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:15.719 speed, you got speed power. Why would you commit to Mookie Betts at 543 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:19.440 second base when out field short? Yeah? And as you as you kind 544 00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:23.800 of listed everybody off as being similar players, If they were similar players, 545 00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:30.159 you might as well get the guy that's last, or maybe a guy who 546 00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.280 is second the last, who's got the upside. That's how you want to 547 00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:37.440 play, you know, if you're playing those that tier game right, and 548 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.840 you know, you take a look at a player like hass On Kim Okay, 549 00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:47.199 He's going at basically the eighty first, eighty first player off the board, 550 00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:52.280 right, Bryson Stott's going on one oh five. How much of a 551 00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:57.079 difference is there between those two players? Is there twenty five picks worth of 552 00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:01.960 difference? Yeah, Zach Gelloff is going fifty five picks later than hass On 553 00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:08.280 Kim. Yeah, the pick strata relatively safe, boring pick right, he's 554 00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:12.119 going at one forty three. So you got this. You've got a host 555 00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:15.199 of options there, you know, Hey, I like hass On Kim. 556 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:20.239 I like him a lot. The multi position eligibility for me, that counts 557 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.000 okay, And that's one of the reasons I boosted him up a little bit, 558 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:28.599 a little bit higher. But you just got You've got so many options 559 00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:31.840 and so many choices at second base, in the middle, infield. Why 560 00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:37.119 would you why pay? I get Marcus Semians a great player, as is 561 00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:42.440 Aussie Albi's. But is is there one hundred picks worth of difference between those 562 00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:45.199 players? Yeah? I don't think so. The only concern I have with 563 00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.239 has On Kim is looking I've got his data called up. I he's definitely 564 00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:53.039 fast and he's a great hitter. I mean hardly chases it all really strikes 565 00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:58.360 out all that walks a ton, Yet he doesn't have a ton of power. 566 00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:02.280 I mean heart hit rates three percent, exit average exulasi is seven percent, 567 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:07.199 so his expected slug is in the upper three hundred. So that I'm 568 00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.400 not sure where the seventeen home runs came from, but it could be more 569 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.280 like the eleven home runs. But at the speed is that clearly there, 570 00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:19.079 So it could it could be more of a ten to fifteen home run guy, 571 00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.119 twenty five plus stolen base guy who can hit. So that might be 572 00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:27.360 the player that you're looking at as opposed to big power and speed that that 573 00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.000 last year might have showed. Well. Yeah, and the fact that he's 574 00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:35.679 eligible at third base and shortstop in addition to second base, Yeah that helps. 575 00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:38.199 Yeah. Yeah, he's gonna play. He's on a he's on a 576 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:45.440 real team friendly contract. And you know, I wouldn't be at all surprised 577 00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:47.840 if Hassan Kim has moved at some point in time, because I believe he's 578 00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:52.639 got an opto it at the end of this year. And I think it's 579 00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:57.599 like seven million bucks on the Yeah it is seven million. Yeah, it's 580 00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:01.280 five four year, seven seven million apiece something like that. Yeah, it's 581 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:05.360 a very good contract. So it'll be interesting to see what the Padres do 582 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.679 with Kim. Yeah, I would think you get here's top five according to 583 00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:14.599 ten and it's somewhat chalk with where their ADPs are currently set in Mookie Betts, 584 00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:19.880 Marcus simeon Ozzi, Alvi's Jose Altuve, Matt McClain. Look, I 585 00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:23.760 love Jose alto Timmy, you know that, but with the options that are 586 00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:30.559 at second base, man, I find it a real struggle to take To 587 00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:35.880 take Jose Altuv in the top three four rounds, I agree, I agree 588 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:40.559 totally. But at the same point in time, watch him very carefully because 589 00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:46.159 once you get into fifties sixties, it moves down a little bit. Oh 590 00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:51.840 yeah, if he if he falls okay, and there's there's good reason that 591 00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:55.119 he could fall okay, then he could become a bargain, a potential bar 592 00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.239 Yeah. He did not fall in the draft I'm in he was taking the 593 00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:04.159 third round, third pick, so what is that thirty five? Yeah, 594 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:08.719 so he went thirty three. Yeah, so he went pretty early. Yeah, 595 00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:13.239 I wouldn't touch him in that range. Yeah, I just think I 596 00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:17.119 mean dropped down one hundred picks. Yeah, this is a guy that's got 597 00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:22.079 jose L t V statue out my front law and so it's not a huge 598 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:27.440 Josey al A fan. Matt McClean, do you think it's it's it's a 599 00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:30.480 growth season for him this year? Does he take a step back? What 600 00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:39.880 are you thinking? I think Matt McLean could be could move up one spot. 601 00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:45.519 How is that? Is he going to touch the number? You're looking 602 00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:50.519 at a growth spot? The problem problem is, yeah, he could pass 603 00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:54.559 Hosel TV. There's that sort of potential, But is he going to be 604 00:46:55.760 --> 00:47:00.039 this year up there with Bets and Semi and and Albi's probably not right. 605 00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:07.039 So you're looking at a situation where Matt McClean is fairly locked in, I 606 00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:12.480 would think, and that's through no fault of his jay the elite level of 607 00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.360 second base. They're elite for a reason, right, And it's a big 608 00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:21.519 step up into the Alby, Semi and Betts grouping. As far as I'm 609 00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:24.440 concerned, Matt McLean's a fine player. There's only one thing that's missing on 610 00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:32.599 his resume, and that's only because he's a young player, just came into 611 00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:37.880 the league last year. As I said, the resume might be short, 612 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:40.679 but the skills or anything. But I like Matt McLean a lot, So 613 00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:45.639 I was I like Matt McClain was in the minor leagues. I saw him 614 00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:50.440 of the Fall League in twenty twenty two. It was okay for me. 615 00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.840 Look, it was just okay. He's fast, there's no question. I 616 00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:58.280 mean, it's nineteenth percentile. But there's still a lot of swing and miss 617 00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:00.360 in this game. So, I mean, that's the one thing that it 618 00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:04.519 didn't have a bab at a three eighty five. So, I mean, 619 00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:07.039 so there is some concern about how much you'll hit, but it looks like 620 00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:10.920 really good eggs of velocity. Hard hit rates are solid. He's fast, 621 00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:15.960 so the only thing I don't think the two ninety average sticks, but it 622 00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.679 could be more of a two fifty guy with twenty twenty. I mean, 623 00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:22.599 that's that would be my only caution. Just be careful when you when you 624 00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:27.199 people type in how much what his batting average is going to be. But 625 00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:31.880 yeah, he's a fine player after that. Yeah, and I share your 626 00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:36.199 thoughts. As far as the Arizona Fall League. I wasn't overly impressed either. 627 00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.760 Yeah, maybe he was tired a long year whatever, but you didn't 628 00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:42.920 play all that well in that season. Something clicked for him last year. 629 00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:46.039 Now we could say last year. That's twenty twenty three, So something clicked 630 00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:51.039 for him last season. And I mean good on him. I mean first 631 00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:52.760 round draft pick, and it looks like he's going to be I have a 632 00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:58.519 really good major league career. So yeah, and again he's shortstop eligible. 633 00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:04.199 That doesn't hurt at all. Absolutely, Six through ten, you've got Nico 634 00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:09.960 Horner, Glaber, Torres, Andres Zeminez, and Kutel Marte, Hassinken, 635 00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:15.199 Nico Horner, Glabra, Torus, Andres, Zeminez and Marte. Out of 636 00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:21.159 those five, give me a guy that you feel like has got some upside 637 00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:24.800 and a guy that you feel like might You wouldn't be surprised if he goes 638 00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:37.599 the other direction down. Nico Horner really impressed me. Again, he's a 639 00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:40.239 top ten stolen base threat, and I think there could be a bit more 640 00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:45.960 there. It wouldn't shock me at all of Nico Horner stole fifty bases, 641 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:50.199 maybe hit twelve, twelve to fifteen home runs. He had ten home runs 642 00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:54.239 last year. Okay, it wouldn't surprise me if he got up to twelve, 643 00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:59.039 fifteen and close to fifty. That moves him up the charts a little 644 00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:04.360 bit. So Eco Horner And when I look at the players on this list, 645 00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:08.840 he never he never strikes out. Yeah, yeah, it's when you 646 00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:13.000 know your Horner. You could be looking at a hundred runs scored. In 647 00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:16.760 addition to that, the rest of the players like Taurus rather say for other 648 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:21.440 boring rather steady. I think him and as the same thing. You know, 649 00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.599 another one of those mid teen power bats, twenty five to thirty stolen 650 00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:31.280 bases, Katel Marte. He would be the one player that I wouldn't be 651 00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:37.519 shocked if he fell, but I don't think he's going to. I think 652 00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:45.280 he the one stat that really impressed me last year's he did something different. 653 00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:49.800 He started taking walks and he elevated them to a career high of seventy one 654 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:55.760 last year. Tossing the power, the home run RBIs on an improving Yeah. 655 00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:00.440 How much of a difference is Corbett Carroll really made to that diamondback offense. 656 00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:07.400 I think it's huge and I think k Marte is part of part of 657 00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:12.440 that. Corbyn Carrol, I don't know what you called syndrome or there, 658 00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:15.119 you know what I mean, hey, guys, syndrome that's uses like the 659 00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:22.800 China syndrome negative. But whatever works for you exactly. That's very funny. 660 00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:30.360 I do think that a player of Corbyn Carroll's skill set can elevate a team 661 00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:37.079 because he gets on base and the pitcher and catcher have got to be distracted. 662 00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:39.119 Tommy. I mean, it's like you got this guy that that can 663 00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:45.199 steal a steal, second, steal third somewhat at will, and it just 664 00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:47.400 is going to make it easier for the guys that are following after him to 665 00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:51.519 get better pitches. Right, They're gonna be more fastballs because you throw a 666 00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:53.840 curveball. It just gives him an extra split second ticket to second base. 667 00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:59.800 Well, Marty benefit from that, yes, as I think Walker did is 668 00:51:59.880 --> 00:52:04.280 well, so you know, and now you've got you Junior Suarez, who's 669 00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:07.000 always been able to hit for big home run numbers in that par getting behind 670 00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:15.079 all three. So yeah, I again, I'd be surprised if he does 671 00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:20.199 fall. But again, Marte did produce his second best season as a prob. 672 00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:22.639 Yeah, but he's had some stinker seasons too. I mean, he 673 00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:27.519 gets these really good seasons and then the next then he doesn't live up to 674 00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:30.239 what head. But I've looked at his data. That data actually looks pretty 675 00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:32.719 good. So I mean, let's take a break it back and do the 676 00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:36.360 next five. We've got to get over to. I got all kinds of 677 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:52.719 windows open here. Here we go back here. In the off season, 678 00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.400 Lorie and I watch a lot of television. We watch a lot of television 679 00:52:55.599 --> 00:53:01.639 just we think television has gotten to a level that's just unparalleled in our history. 680 00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:06.599 It's so so many good TV shows out there with all the new networks 681 00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:09.159 broadcasting. So we just finished up Ted Lasso. I don't know if you've 682 00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:12.599 heard of that. Have you heard of It's on Apple TV. It's about 683 00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:16.039 the coach and he's a guy that knew nothing about soccer and moved to the 684 00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:20.239 England and became a soccer player. It's a comedy. It's very very good. 685 00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:23.480 So we just finished that and we had friends of him for the week 686 00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:29.159 and didn't watch any TV. So last night decided do we start a new 687 00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:32.920 TV series or do we watch something else? So we decided to watch something 688 00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:38.199 else, Tim and you know what it was. I haven't a clue. 689 00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:45.280 We became. We decided let's watch the Barbie movie. Have you heard of 690 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:49.000 the Barbie movie? TV? Tim, I'm on Twitter? How could you 691 00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:52.639 get movie? Have you seen it? No? I haven't, No, 692 00:53:53.599 --> 00:53:58.639 Tim. It was brutal. I hated it, and I know that. 693 00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:00.880 I don't know. Maybe that makes me shallow because everybody was saying, how 694 00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:05.199 great of it is? Great a movie it is. It's it's very it 695 00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:09.519 has a great feminist kind of twinge to it. But I've seen like Lessons 696 00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:15.559 in Chemistry is much better thematic that that supports women's rights and so forth. 697 00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:21.440 But the Barbie thing was just annoying, Timmy. It was terrible. Yeah. 698 00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:25.440 I hey, eventually, at some point in time, okay, I 699 00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:30.719 will, I will get around to watching it. But it's not on my 700 00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:35.639 wait till you see it, Timmy. It's it's inane. It's an and 701 00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:39.519 they shove the messaging, the themes down your throat. I mean it's like, 702 00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:42.519 Okay, I got it, I got it. I got it. 703 00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:45.239 Men are awful. I got it. I got it. But it was 704 00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:51.119 it just Yeah, they take Ryan Goss and look plain old, creepy and 705 00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:54.559 a good looking guy, and they made him like bleach blonde and ah enough 706 00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:59.880 already I hated it. Absolutely hated it. Here's a recommendation for you. 707 00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:06.599 Okay, what's that give? Give this a spy h Midsummer Murders, Midsummer 708 00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:09.559 Murders, Tim's Watson a TV show. Yes, it's just made in the 709 00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:16.159 in the seventies eighties as well. Actually this this, it's it's it's like 710 00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:22.519 a series. They run about six shows a year. Okay, the running 711 00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:25.880 time on them is an hour and a half to about an hour. And 712 00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:36.000 Midsummer Murders Midsummer Mysteries. It's an English show that commenced in March of nineteen 713 00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:40.880 ninety seven and is still running. Oh, by by Agatha Christie. They're 714 00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:47.960 books by Agatha Christie. It says it might be might be based based on 715 00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:54.519 that, but uh, excellent show. Oh, Midsummer Murders, Midsummer Summer. 716 00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:59.719 Yeah, Midsummer Murders. Because Midsummer Mysteries is an Agatha Christie. Yeah, 717 00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:02.519 Oh, I see it's it's I've seen the woman who stars on it 718 00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:07.960 before. She's uh, she looks familiar to me. Actually, the as 719 00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:13.639 you go through, we're in year sixteen right now, and there are numerous 720 00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:20.000 cast changes throughout. But it's an extremely well written Oh I'm glad you told 721 00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:22.559 me about that. I love how they spell summer s O M E R. 722 00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:28.559 So it's midsummer is the community? Oh yeah, I suppose I thought 723 00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:30.360 it was midsummer as an s U M M E R. Right. So, 724 00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:35.280 but that's like that. Let's see where where can I've watched that streaming? 725 00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:42.039 Uh? Where do we watch Midsummer Murders? Jody? Oh, it's 726 00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.000 Amazon Prime? Yeah, Amazon Prime? Yeah, there we go, there 727 00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:49.360 we go, all right, don like dinner, Tim, Yeah, it's 728 00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:52.880 not. It's not nineteen it's twenty four seasons. Good lord, Tim, 729 00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:59.039 That'll take me some years to get through. It's well done, very okay, 730 00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:02.400 I'm excited. I'm excited about it. It's not a blood and gore, 731 00:57:02.519 --> 00:57:08.519 is it. No, there is some but yeah, there's even even 732 00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:12.760 a little bit of nudity. They warn you that there's tobacco and alcohol. 733 00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:20.920 It's yeah, it's a little risk. It's it's not it's not restricted. 734 00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:24.960 No, definitely not because I couldn't make it. I'm one of the few 735 00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:30.159 people that probably listened to our podcast who could not make it through Game of 736 00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:34.199 Thrones. It just didn't me and to them, I mean, it was 737 00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:37.719 just enough already. I mean it was I mean I didn't think I was 738 00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:42.440 approved. Maybe I am. I saw more naked women and more people killed 739 00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:46.920 in ten episodes, and I have in an entire watching in my history of 740 00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:52.559 watching television. It was amazing. Yeah. No, this this series has 741 00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:54.960 a tendency. It'll keep you there till the last five to ten minutes of 742 00:57:55.039 --> 00:58:04.039 the show because it takes that law to be able to determine what has actually 743 00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:08.440 occurred in the first ninety minutes. Okay, as to who is who is 744 00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:13.760 guilty and the reasons behind it, and it's it's well, it's a it's 745 00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:15.440 a who. It's a who done it? Who does who? It's a 746 00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:17.679 who done it? Yeah, all right, well, well, well well 747 00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:22.320 we will give it a shot, Timmy, and yeah, I'm sure you 748 00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:29.239 enjoy it. Let's let's move on back to second base. Jean ciscl uh, 749 00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:34.960 who's the other guy that Roger Rogert Roger? Yeah, maybe that's what 750 00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:38.320 ha our next uh, our next lives. We'll do a Ciskel and Ebert 751 00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:42.119 kind of take off there. Anyway to me, I got number eleven, 752 00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:45.119 got brysons dot down to from where he's going in the NFC. Zach Goeloff 753 00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:52.599 Chalk and thyrou Estrada, Nolan Gorman you like to better. And then Tommy 754 00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:55.760 Edmand tell me about Nolan Gorman. What are you expecting from him this season? 755 00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:01.400 I'm expecting a lot of home runs. No stolen bases though, No, 756 00:59:01.719 --> 00:59:06.880 No, the speed game isn't there. But the kid's got a lot 757 00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:10.159 of power, raw power. Oh yeah, he's young, and when you 758 00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:15.679 at second base, he's sort of an anomaly, isn't he. Yeah, 759 00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:22.840 because it's kind of back Dan. It's like Dan against Yeah, there we 760 00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:28.440 there we go, and that's a Greek comp. Yeah, Uglow is a 761 00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:32.320 really good ballplayer for an extended period. When you're right six hundred and sixteen 762 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:37.079 capsules to me, you start to compare players to a lot of guys. 763 00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:42.000 So I've used the danger comp many times. Yeah, he offers he offers 764 00:59:42.039 --> 00:59:45.320 you something different than the second base. Yeah, outside of the norm. 765 00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:50.000 You know, Hey, if if you have your hey, the guy picking 766 00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:52.559 in your league, he's got Ronald Lacune right off the bat, right, 767 00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:59.920 Hey, you've you've you've got yourself what forty stolen bases probably with your guy. 768 01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:04.840 Okay, if you don't need stolen bases at your middle infield position. 769 01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:10.679 He presents an intriguing option and that he could be. Looking at this list 770 01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:15.320 of players, he could be a top three home run back. Oh yeah, 771 01:00:15.079 --> 01:00:19.199 that's at second base. But he also could hit. He also could 772 01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:22.559 hit two twenty well, he did hit twenty one year two twenty two, 773 01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:24.760 thirty six. He's not gonna he's not gonna help your batting average at all. 774 01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:30.360 No, he's not. But if you're looking at a power option, 775 01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:37.159 it's intriguing. And again on how you built your team, right, yeah, 776 01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:42.880 so yeah, I I hey, I based on what I've seen, 777 01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:45.559 I think he could be a twenty five thirty home run guy for the next 778 01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:51.360 five to ten years. Big power is he was always kind of comped to 779 01:00:51.840 --> 01:00:54.000 Joey Gallo. I think he actually makes a little bit better contact than Joey 780 01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:59.719 Gallo does. So yeah, Noela Gorman's done more than I thought he would. 781 01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:04.719 I'm actually pretty impressed. Zach Geloff, Tim as you right, I 782 01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:09.039 mean, great rookie start fourteen home runs, but he plays for the A's. 783 01:01:09.159 --> 01:01:14.880 I mean, does that does that give you Pauls when you're selecting second 784 01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:19.440 base, you know, do I want somebody that's got a terrible lineup around 785 01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:23.920 them. Well, twenty twenty is twenty twenty, right, Hey, the 786 01:01:24.079 --> 01:01:28.360 RBIs could be a little suppressed, the run score could be a little suppressed, 787 01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:34.119 but it's still a twenty twenty type player carries weight even in open Okay, 788 01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:37.719 okay, uh Bryson Stott? What little down on Bryson Stot or it's 789 01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:44.760 just not really just the way the cookie crumbled here. Well, you know, 790 01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:50.599 you start looking at the NFBC ADPs, right, yeah, and Taurus 791 01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:53.199 is at ninety six. I mean this is one nineteen, Marte is one 792 01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:58.800 twenty one, Stott is one oh five. They're they're all in the same 793 01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:00.280 area. Okay, yea, yeah, if you want to if you want 794 01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:04.519 to move Bryce and start up to where I mean has has flipped them around. 795 01:02:04.920 --> 01:02:07.719 I got no problems with that at all. Yeah, that's what so 796 01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:10.559 just it's just happenstance, you know, one up, two down kind of 797 01:02:10.639 --> 01:02:15.920 thing. Yeah, it's it's much the same as looking at Albi's versus Semi. 798 01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:21.000 Okay, you say, you say Alby's is number two, and I'm 799 01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:22.480 gonna say, good for you. I got no problems with that, got 800 01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:28.280 it? Sixth sixty the twenty we got Brandon Drury, Jorge Polanka, Lewis 801 01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:34.800 Arise, Jonathan Indy and then Ryan McMahon. Now Brandon Drury, Timmy, 802 01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:42.280 What is the difference between Brandon Drury and Nolan Gorman. H I'm gonna guess 803 01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:47.960 at seven years so age well, and the fact that I think Gorman is 804 01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:52.840 on a little bit better team now Drury to you know, as as a 805 01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:58.400 positive is hitting in the three spot. M hmm, okay, Mike Troutz 806 01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:01.159 hitting in the two spots. Somebody's got to drive trowed in right, Yeah, 807 01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:07.039 yeh chalk could score fifty runs too, as long as three drives them 808 01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:13.679 all in. Who okay, Yeah. I've always liked DREI he last year 809 01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:16.960 was he was eligible all over the field. But he's a cheap power source. 810 01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:22.639 Well, you know, twenty two he had twenty eight home runs, 811 01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:27.280 drove in eighty seven to sixty three batting average. Last year twenty six home 812 01:03:27.400 --> 01:03:30.840 runs eighty three RBIs at two sixty two batting average. I think he's a 813 01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:36.039 little undervalued, and I bumped him up accordingly. I think if you're looking 814 01:03:36.159 --> 01:03:45.440 for again a power hitting second baseman, I think he could be top five 815 01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:51.039 to six and home runs, RBIs out of the group and to be able 816 01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:53.559 to get him right now at two thirty two. Hey, I'd like Dreary 817 01:03:53.639 --> 01:03:58.280 a lot. I'm I could see him being on a fair number of my 818 01:03:58.559 --> 01:04:02.119 of my team's next year. Yeah, I think I think he's a little 819 01:04:02.199 --> 01:04:06.320 safer than Nolan Gormant. I think the power upside with Gorman is much higher, 820 01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:10.159 but there's more risk. I mean, you know, he could he 821 01:04:10.239 --> 01:04:14.519 could hit two twenty. Brandon Dury's gonna hit to sixty and hit twenty five 822 01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:17.280 home runs. That's what he's gonna do unless he's hurt. And you know, 823 01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:20.239 the way I've got them ranked is that you know, I got Gorman 824 01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:24.159 at fourteen and I got Drury of sixteen. Right, you want to you 825 01:04:24.239 --> 01:04:26.719 want to flip them for the risk factor. I got no problems with that. 826 01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:30.519 But they're they're going forty slots between each other. And yeah, so 827 01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:33.239 that's you know, good two to three rounds. Who hate Polanco? You 828 01:04:33.320 --> 01:04:39.440 love yourself? Some more hate Polanco? Explain yourself, mister McLeod. All 829 01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:45.039 he needs is one thing, health and he hasn't had it the past two 830 01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:50.360 years. And I get it. But how far do you when you start 831 01:04:50.440 --> 01:04:59.280 looking at a player like that, if I'm not mistaken. His last full 832 01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:08.000 season, Okay, his last full season, he hit thirty three home runs, 833 01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:12.280 drove in ninety eight, stole eleven bases. Thirty three sounds right, 834 01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:15.239 that sounds yeah, that sounds familiar. Well, you know, you go 835 01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:19.199 to twenty twenty two and you know, three hundred and seventy five at bats, 836 01:05:19.239 --> 01:05:25.199 sixteen home runs. Okay, last year, three hundred and two at 837 01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:30.880 bats, fourteen home runs. I think you've got the potential there for a 838 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:35.880 twenty five to thirty home run, eighty five RBI, six to eight stolen 839 01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:40.800 base type player. Now, all he's got to do is stay on the 840 01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:45.079 field. He hasn't the past two years. But is there any reason to 841 01:05:45.199 --> 01:05:49.000 think that he can't bounce back and get in a full season next year. 842 01:05:49.400 --> 01:05:53.840 I your guess is as good as mine, But I'm gonna guess that he 843 01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:59.159 rebounds and has at least four hundred and seventy five at bats, which again 844 01:05:59.360 --> 01:06:04.639 elevates his obvious draft position. For me, Hey, if I if I'm 845 01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:10.440 if I'm wrong in my estimations, If you're looking at a player that's going 846 01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:15.559 off the board in the early mid teen rounds. Is that a disaster? 847 01:06:15.960 --> 01:06:18.679 No, you'll find somebody else to replace them. Yeah, I think that's 848 01:06:18.760 --> 01:06:21.199 there, So Lewis Arrise, I mean, it's not a whole lot to 849 01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:26.000 say there. I mean, I if you if you short on batting average, 850 01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:30.400 that's where you go. Yeah, exactly three fifty four batting average, 851 01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:33.880 three ninety three OVP. Yeah, you're gonna pencil in I think a three 852 01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:39.880 twenty batting average and a three seventy five, three eighty OVP. He had 853 01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:44.119 ten home runs yeah last year? Yeah, nothing wrong. I you know, 854 01:06:44.239 --> 01:06:47.719 hey, if we were looking at Louise or Rise and he had two 855 01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:50.320 to three home runs, I'd probably have him down a little bit lower. 856 01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:55.079 But yeah, there's a big difference between two three and ten. Right, 857 01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:58.119 what do we do about Jonathan India team? This is a guy is a 858 01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:02.280 good baseball player, but he has Heyes, you can't draft him expecting he's 859 01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:06.480 going to get full time of bats on January tewod Right, you can't do 860 01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:15.480 that, or you can't draft Cees Well, yes, I think outside of 861 01:07:15.639 --> 01:07:20.360 led La Cruz and Matt McClain, I'm not sure you touch the other things 862 01:07:20.760 --> 01:07:24.760 yet. In early draft you just say I'm sorry, I can't go there. 863 01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:30.079 That would be the smart play. Yes, I think India though, 864 01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:33.960 if they want to move him, they got to play him right. If 865 01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:38.880 he's on the roster, if he breaks camp as a member of the Reds, 866 01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:43.440 he could he could hold value. They're not gonna, They're not gonna. 867 01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:46.480 They're not gonna sit him on the bench because if they want to trade 868 01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:49.719 him, he's got to produce something, right, Yeah, yes, So 869 01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:54.760 what do you do? I hey, you're looking at pick two oh seven. 870 01:07:55.239 --> 01:07:59.360 I've got him at nineteen. NBC's sitting at seventeen. Yeah. Last 871 01:07:59.400 --> 01:08:02.039 year it was a down year, but he still hit seventeen still fourteen bas 872 01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:05.800 he scored seventy eight runs in four hundred and fifty four bets. Down, 873 01:08:05.920 --> 01:08:10.280 Yes, but not gone. Yeah, he was one of He is one 874 01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:13.679 of my targets at second base, and I like the player. It's just 875 01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:15.239 it's tough at the moment. I mean, if you take a look at 876 01:08:15.239 --> 01:08:19.159 the data, he supports a guy that should be taking sooner. But you 877 01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:21.920 take a look at the plane time and there's big question marks. I mean, 878 01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:26.159 it's take a go ahead. I was just gonna say, yeah, 879 01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:31.279 maybe they'll trade him to the White Sox for Dylan cease. Yeah maybe maybe 880 01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:36.479 the uh but I heard that the White Sox want pitchers back in return for 881 01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:42.359 Dylan Sees, which really good luck, good luck. Yeah, well that 882 01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:45.760 means he's going to the Dodger. So that's the case, because they'll ship 883 01:08:45.800 --> 01:08:48.079 back all those guys we talked about last week or twenty five years old. 884 01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:53.479 Sit back a couple of them. Yeah. Yeah, give me a Gavin 885 01:08:53.520 --> 01:08:56.359 Stone and a River Ryan and a you know, you know, a young 886 01:08:56.479 --> 01:09:00.920 kid, you know, pick number guy ranked number twelve, and it's a 887 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:02.880 done deal, right because you get two years of Dylan Sees. Right. 888 01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:06.920 Yeah, to me, let's take a break and get back, and let's 889 01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:19.800 start jumping around because the next round is the guy's timbers. This is where 890 01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:25.079 I'm fishing temp and this next this is this is your fishing hole. This 891 01:09:25.319 --> 01:09:29.399 is my fishing hole. Man. I'm going bottom fishing a little bit here 892 01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:32.720 for second base. But I love myself at twenty one, Edgewardo Julian, 893 01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:38.159 I love Jordan Westburg. Uh. Brandon Lowe at twenty three. It's not 894 01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:40.600 a bad player. I mean he is. What he is at twenty four 895 01:09:40.720 --> 01:09:45.279 is Lewis rahiefo twenty five. Zach mcentry with Miryfield scares me a little bit 896 01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:49.000 at twenty six, Gavin Lux at twenty seven. Heroldo Perdoma is a good 897 01:09:49.039 --> 01:09:55.000 player. I know you love Taylor Walls, and he's probably gonna play because 898 01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:59.720 I doubt the uh, well they might. They gotta have somebody play shortstop, 899 01:09:59.760 --> 01:10:01.119 and it's not going to be let's face it, it's not going to 900 01:10:01.159 --> 01:10:04.680 be wonderfront going. Then you got the affable Jeff McNeil, and that's where 901 01:10:04.680 --> 01:10:09.880 I'll break it off before we get the Jeff McNeil. But tell me about 902 01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:13.920 Jordan Westburg. You got him ranked pretty high here. Well, hey, 903 01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:17.600 he's playing on a great team. I think he's got some serious skills. 904 01:10:17.640 --> 01:10:20.840 He's also eligible with third base. I like Westburg. I think he's got 905 01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:25.600 a great future in Philadelphia. I'd be nice to be bad at higher in 906 01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:28.239 the order, but you look at the order and that ain't gonna happen, 907 01:10:28.359 --> 01:10:30.720 right, So you take what you're gonna get. But you look at Julian, 908 01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:36.439 you look at Westburgh. Westburgh. Yeah, even Renifo and Zach McKinstry, 909 01:10:36.439 --> 01:10:40.960 they're both going to play full time. Reneefo's their their lead up bat 910 01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:45.399 and I think he hit sixteen runs last year, scored a bunch. McKinstry 911 01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:47.920 had a nice season with Meryfield. Yeah, I'm down on Meryfield. He's 912 01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:50.600 getting older. He hasn't signed with the team yet. I'm a little concerned. 913 01:10:50.680 --> 01:10:56.680 The stolen bases were down, But Perdomo Taylor Walls, he stole twenty 914 01:10:56.760 --> 01:11:00.000 plus bases playing part time last year, didn't he. Yeah, yeah, 915 01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:05.199 there's your full time there's your full time shortstop for the Rais heading into this 916 01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:12.680 year. So there's there's a host of intriguing options between twenty one and thirty 917 01:11:12.920 --> 01:11:16.239 and all could hold value. Actually, there's options down to about thirty, 918 01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:21.960 down to about forty that could hold some serious value depending on how rosters shaked 919 01:11:21.960 --> 01:11:26.800 down. Yeah, I think if I can just give a plug for Zwardo 920 01:11:26.920 --> 01:11:30.319 Julianne, he struck out thirty one percent of the time. I'm going on 921 01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:35.359 memory. I'll have his data up, but you know, I nothing ever 922 01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:41.000 that he has done in the minor league suggested that poor of contact. He 923 01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:44.079 is hitting at the top of the lineup because he he walks a ton. 924 01:11:44.600 --> 01:11:46.760 I mean, there could be some passivity that he's gotten. I think that 925 01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:49.439 gets shaken out. I think he's the guy that's going to hit with some 926 01:11:49.560 --> 01:11:51.880 pop, ye, a little bit of speed. So I think he's a 927 01:11:51.960 --> 01:11:56.399 good player if you want to wait late. Yeah, I think the potential 928 01:11:56.439 --> 01:11:59.239 is there. The only thing that concerns me a bit about Julian is if 929 01:11:59.279 --> 01:12:02.560 you look a little deeper, three of the three months where he was basically 930 01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:06.760 paying full time, one of those months was truly outstanding. But I think 931 01:12:06.800 --> 01:12:11.680 he had like an eight hundred babbit that month. Yeah, So I don't 932 01:12:11.720 --> 01:12:15.119 know how much how much of those of the overall was driven by that one 933 01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:21.960 really really good month. But I I like him. But when I look 934 01:12:23.039 --> 01:12:30.119 at the options at second base, if I got stuck with Westbrook or an 935 01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:32.079 EFO as a middle infielder, I'd be okay with that. So I'm not 936 01:12:32.560 --> 01:12:38.960 I liked Julian, but I'm not prepared to bump him up the board because 937 01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:42.359 I think you got enough options. Why why would you want to? Yeah, 938 01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:45.399 you know what I mean, unless you truly believe that he's he's going 939 01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:49.000 to be a great player. There's there's a slew of options in here that 940 01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:54.520 can provide value. Yeah, I just I just think second base is so 941 01:12:54.680 --> 01:13:00.039 deep, I mean, pick up short stops and you take your it takes. 942 01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:02.720 I mean again, Brandon Drury is not a sexy name at all. 943 01:13:03.239 --> 01:13:06.760 But if you've got stolen bases locked up like someone like I do you know, 944 01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:12.399 I mean, I got Bobby Wood and Michael Harris and I'm gonna get 945 01:13:12.399 --> 01:13:15.760 more stolen bases and a sudden Brandon Drur becomes pretty interesting as a late round 946 01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:20.920 grab. Well, yeah, you're looking at two thirty five, you're looking 947 01:13:20.920 --> 01:13:25.239 at seventeen to five ten, you're looking at a fifteenth round, sixteenth round 948 01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:30.920 pick. Yeah, give me twenty eight homers. Okay, I I had 949 01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:34.920 a pick in the mid teens. Yeah, exactly. There are so many 950 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:39.800 options, so many different ways to play the middle infield, and they can 951 01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:44.399 all be successful because of the depth at the position. Bryce Ter ranked him. 952 01:13:45.399 --> 01:13:46.960 I think it is a bit of a disappointment last season. Well, 953 01:13:47.039 --> 01:13:50.640 fault Of is a guy that I think has the job. Yeah, what 954 01:13:50.760 --> 01:14:00.640 do you think of him? Yep? He does uh down shifting on simply 955 01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:04.840 because I I liked what I saw as far as the speed. He stole 956 01:14:04.920 --> 01:14:12.720 twenty six bases, okay, but he only hit six home runs. Okay. 957 01:14:13.159 --> 01:14:15.239 Now if this was five years ago, I'd probably have Terrang up about 958 01:14:15.319 --> 01:14:19.359 eight slots because the twenty six stolen bases would carry a lot more value. 959 01:14:19.920 --> 01:14:24.920 You know, five years ago, as compared to today, twenty six stolen 960 01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:28.439 bases does not carry enough value for me to have him ranked high. Right 961 01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:31.039 now, he doesn't. That's that's why I've got it. Yeah, he's 962 01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:33.520 fast, and that's why I've got him at thirty one. He's got some 963 01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:38.000 of the worst exit velocities in all of base wall. He just does not 964 01:14:38.119 --> 01:14:41.520 hit the ball very hard at all. I don't even know where the six 965 01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:44.880 runs came from. I mean it's it's I mean, the data does not 966 01:14:45.039 --> 01:14:47.720 support a guy that's going to hit with any level of power. I think 967 01:14:47.800 --> 01:14:53.560 that's a little concerning. Plus, I mean sluts three ten. Yeah, 968 01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:59.920 you know, if the Brewers didn't have Andrew Monasterio penciled in at third base, 969 01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:05.039 I'd probably have Bryce Terng ranked even lower, because I think Ty Black 970 01:15:05.159 --> 01:15:10.000 is going to be on the Brewers roster. Come come me, and right 971 01:15:10.079 --> 01:15:14.399 now it looks like third base is the best offer. Black primarily played third 972 01:15:14.439 --> 01:15:16.000 base last season. Yes, yes, but he you know, hey, 973 01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:20.600 if Terrag really struggles there's nothing to say, and Monasterio hits, there's nothing 974 01:15:20.640 --> 01:15:24.520 to say that ty Black is up at second base, right, yep, 975 01:15:27.319 --> 01:15:31.079 maybe I think they want to play well. I think Tyler Black would work 976 01:15:31.119 --> 01:15:32.960 better at second base. I don't think he has a great arm, but 977 01:15:33.039 --> 01:15:38.439 he played pretty well there in the minor leagues last season, so that's why 978 01:15:38.560 --> 01:15:41.640 they played him there. So maybe he can come up as a third baseman. 979 01:15:42.199 --> 01:15:45.840 But I think if if Mantasterio, which I don't believe, can play 980 01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:50.239 third base, then Black definitely could come in at second. I'm with you, 981 01:15:50.439 --> 01:15:56.000 I'm a little disappointed in terrang and when you see the data, it's 982 01:15:56.199 --> 01:16:00.880 just just no no power there at all. Supports your level of disappointments, 983 01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:03.600 which yeah, I mean it's like, yeah, like when you see it 984 01:16:03.920 --> 01:16:08.960 in baseball, you're worried about the bat speed to begin with an MC in 985 01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:12.159 a baseball savanna, it's like the yikes. So to me, it's it's 986 01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:15.600 a it's a no bueno. I know, I don't want to I do 987 01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:18.039 like Leova Proguera. I know you've got to rank a little bit higher. 988 01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:23.359 I know he plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates. That means he stinks, but 989 01:16:23.640 --> 01:16:26.960 I mean I think that I think he's I've always liked the player. I 990 01:16:27.000 --> 01:16:30.800 think there's I think there's something there. Yeah, I I do as well. 991 01:16:31.079 --> 01:16:36.119 And hey, it looks like he's got the job, and with the 992 01:16:36.279 --> 01:16:40.640 job comes opportunities. And I don't need to give you the I don't need 993 01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:43.680 to give you the rest of that story, do I? So, no, 994 01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:47.079 you do not let me. But having said that, yes, Brendan 995 01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:51.520 Rodgers has the job, and you hate Brendan Rodgers him. You have him 996 01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:57.359 ranked forty seventh, fourteen lower than he's going off with the NFC at UH 997 01:16:57.560 --> 01:17:00.199 and he's going off at five thirty four, so you've got him pro me 998 01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:02.520 more in the six hundreds. Why do you hate Brendan Rodgers went up? 999 01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:12.520 Supposedly he has the job? Well, because he's still good. I was 1000 01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:17.039 gonna look for something a little bit more politically motivated. But yeah, twenty 1001 01:17:17.079 --> 01:17:20.680 twenty two was a full season, okay. Yeah, he had thirteen homers 1002 01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:25.640 and he drove in sixty three playing half his games in course. Okay, 1003 01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:30.199 Yeah, he struck out one hundred one times five hundred and twenty seven at 1004 01:17:30.239 --> 01:17:35.600 bats translated. Yeah, it's it's not it's not good last last year, 1005 01:17:35.880 --> 01:17:40.119 you know, in two one hundred and seventy eight at bats, he had 1006 01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:44.800 four home runs. He struck out forty one times. Like, I'm sorry, 1007 01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:48.439 I'm not buying into Brendan Rodgers. And he's, you know, heading 1008 01:17:48.520 --> 01:17:54.439 into his age twenty eight season. It's it's just not good and another player 1009 01:17:54.520 --> 01:17:59.640 that I can't figure out for the life of me. Okay, and maybe 1010 01:17:59.680 --> 01:18:05.079 I'll be wrong on this one, but Brendan Donovan likely I don't get it. 1011 01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:12.199 I just don't get it. They've done as high as what twenty six. 1012 01:18:12.920 --> 01:18:15.319 I thought at his stack cast, I'll bring it up now. I 1013 01:18:15.359 --> 01:18:18.319 think he hits the ball really hard. Let me bring it up because he 1014 01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:21.720 came in. It's funny because you know, when I do all of this 1015 01:18:21.800 --> 01:18:29.119 stuff looking for players, I have these filters, and Brendan Donovan kept coming 1016 01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:31.000 up as Hey, Wilson, take a look at this guy. Look at 1017 01:18:31.039 --> 01:18:35.079 this guy. And there's a lot to like. I mean, he's he 1018 01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:40.680 has average speed, but he makes really good contact. He walks a lot, 1019 01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:44.159 he's got good eggs a velocity. He's a bit of a ground ball 1020 01:18:44.239 --> 01:18:45.800 hitter, so he doesn't hit the ball much in the air, but I 1021 01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:50.199 can understand why some people would like this guy. The data supports that there's 1022 01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:56.159 something in here, but I couldn't bring myself to targeting them. So I 1023 01:18:56.239 --> 01:18:59.960 was like Brendan Donovan. Yeah, well, and you know, on top 1024 01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:05.600 top of that, you know he's begun a throwing program, coming off starting 1025 01:19:05.680 --> 01:19:14.640 his rehab after undergoing flexor tendon surgery in August. That's another warning for me. 1026 01:19:15.079 --> 01:19:17.840 Sorry, I'm passing on Donovan. I'll want something else. I will 1027 01:19:17.880 --> 01:19:23.520 say the data supports a two eighty five, three sixty five what he did 1028 01:19:23.640 --> 01:19:26.439 last season. It kind of supports that, which is what he did in 1029 01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:30.840 twenty twenty two, and it looks like there could be some upside with home 1030 01:19:30.920 --> 01:19:33.359 runs if he added a little bit of loft. I think the five to 1031 01:19:33.439 --> 01:19:39.760 eight stolen bases is probably real side. I can understand why people as a 1032 01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:43.279 debt. Looks like he's a deadpool hitter as well, which you know, 1033 01:19:43.439 --> 01:19:46.800 so that's his one weakness. It's just not a whole lot of power at 1034 01:19:46.800 --> 01:19:50.399 the moment, but the data supports there could be. So yeah, it's 1035 01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:55.000 just with the depth at second base. I ain't tossing no darts in his 1036 01:19:55.119 --> 01:19:58.479 direction, all right, Timmy let's always take a final break it back and 1037 01:19:58.840 --> 01:20:15.000 uh ask you the hard questions here, which player not in the top ten 1038 01:20:15.119 --> 01:20:20.239 has a chance to emerge their next season? Oh, not in the top 1039 01:20:20.359 --> 01:20:24.760 ten, and who could get there? And don't give me number eleven. 1040 01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:30.920 I want to I want a guy you feel really good about. And then 1041 01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:36.239 I want somebody a little bit deeper. Okay, I'm not going with Nolan 1042 01:20:36.319 --> 01:20:41.039 Gorman. Okay, that's good. Yeah. If he launched, if he 1043 01:20:41.119 --> 01:20:45.199 launches thirty home runs drives in eighty five this year, yeah, she's gonna 1044 01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:46.880 be in the top ten. Give me one. That's a little bit. 1045 01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:51.039 Wow. I want, I want a wow one. I'm looking at the 1046 01:20:51.079 --> 01:20:55.960 wow one. Let's see if you come up with it, the wow one. 1047 01:20:56.560 --> 01:20:59.520 How deep are we going here? Rich? I would go in the 1048 01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:09.239 upper twenties, upper twenties. You know I have branded Drury Yeah, brand 1049 01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:14.720 of Drewry. Yeah. Oh wow. I must think a Jordan Westburg would 1050 01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:18.319 be the guy that I would I would could possibly see if things start to 1051 01:21:18.359 --> 01:21:20.840 work. That guy is a really good baseball player. Yeah he is. 1052 01:21:20.960 --> 01:21:27.319 And same with Julian Yeah. Yeah, there's you know, you take a 1053 01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:30.319 look at that group between twenty and thirty, and yeah, there's three or 1054 01:21:30.399 --> 01:21:33.880 four players that are poised to make a step onwards and upwards. In that 1055 01:21:34.039 --> 01:21:40.439 group. There's just a lot of talent at second base. There really is. 1056 01:21:40.600 --> 01:21:44.880 There's a slew of options and play it how you like. You're going 1057 01:21:44.920 --> 01:21:48.239 to get. You're going to get a good player at second base, one 1058 01:21:48.279 --> 01:21:53.880 that will one that will fit the build for your team, and you can 1059 01:21:54.439 --> 01:21:58.760 you don't have to worry, per se, okay about what that build is, 1060 01:21:58.960 --> 01:22:01.880 because there's somebody that that'll that'll match the description of what you're looking for. 1061 01:22:02.319 --> 01:22:06.319 Up to about pick twenty. After that, there's you get some great 1062 01:22:06.319 --> 01:22:10.520 spectics in there. I forgot, I mean my haste to put this out, 1063 01:22:10.520 --> 01:22:14.960 I forgot to bring up your last year's last year's ranking. I'm sorry, 1064 01:22:14.960 --> 01:22:17.199 I've already ignored them. That's old news. Yeah, no, that's 1065 01:22:17.680 --> 01:22:21.239 a real bummer. So let's see. Well, I gotta I will re 1066 01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:25.359 send that to you, so we actually have last year's rankings in there. 1067 01:22:25.479 --> 01:22:30.319 So but because I'm looking, I don't think obviously Matt McClain wasn't anywhere on 1068 01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:35.920 this last last season, but Nico Horner and Hassan Kim both took a step 1069 01:22:36.039 --> 01:22:41.760 up this season. So yeah, as as did Brayson Stuck and yell Off. 1070 01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:45.399 And I think Geoff could be a guy that makes it in the top 1071 01:22:45.479 --> 01:22:47.920 ten too. I mean he was really good. Yeah no, if he 1072 01:22:47.960 --> 01:22:53.880 if he has a twenty twenty plus season, yeah, yeah he could. 1073 01:22:54.840 --> 01:22:59.079 The problem problem is there's not a lot of players that I could see moving 1074 01:22:59.199 --> 01:23:01.000 over that. Well, that's what. You gotta give me one or two 1075 01:23:01.119 --> 01:23:05.239 that that has a chance and I want a bit of a surprise. Yeah, 1076 01:23:05.640 --> 01:23:11.119 that's one of them. The easiest one is Kate el Marte. Okay, 1077 01:23:11.239 --> 01:23:21.680 the other one, uh, if Hassan Kim is traded, that disrupts, 1078 01:23:21.800 --> 01:23:25.159 Nah, Kim is too good to a player. I'll go with Glabra 1079 01:23:25.199 --> 01:23:30.119 Taurus. I'm gonna go with Nico Horner. Yeah, he's got to steal 1080 01:23:30.199 --> 01:23:34.279 forty bases. Yeah yeah, and yeah if you don't think he's going to 1081 01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:38.000 steal forty forty plus, Yeah, he's a good choice to move out of 1082 01:23:38.079 --> 01:23:43.800 that top ten. But there's so little that differentiates as far as I'm concerned. 1083 01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:51.319 You know, picks six through ten versus ten through fifteen, any of 1084 01:23:51.359 --> 01:23:56.239 them could swing. They really could, because they're that close. You look 1085 01:23:56.239 --> 01:23:59.880 at the ADPs, and for the most part, they're all pretty tightly bunched. 1086 01:24:01.600 --> 01:24:03.760 Yeah, I mean, I just again, I think you can wait 1087 01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:09.760 and pick you pick your poison again. If you if you're low on power, 1088 01:24:10.119 --> 01:24:13.520 you decided to take a lot of speed guys up early, maybe a 1089 01:24:13.640 --> 01:24:17.199 Trey Turner, so you get yourself maybe fifteen sixteen home runs and a lot 1090 01:24:17.239 --> 01:24:20.520 of stolen bases, and all of a sudden, your spreadsheet, you're tracking 1091 01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:24.199 with your spreadsheet and you're like a little bit light on power. Go with 1092 01:24:24.279 --> 01:24:29.199 Nolan Gorman as a power hitting second baseman because you've got some batting average somewhere 1093 01:24:29.239 --> 01:24:30.560 else. I could be a play. Or if you say, hey, 1094 01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:33.000 I need I need a lot of stolen bases there, you know, you 1095 01:24:33.079 --> 01:24:38.439 could go in a different direction there. So yeah, Taylor Taylor Walls playing 1096 01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:42.800 full time could steal thirty bases. Yeah in its sleeve. Yeah, he's 1097 01:24:42.800 --> 01:24:45.920 a fine He's a fine reserve pick, and he'll probably last to the reserve 1098 01:24:45.039 --> 01:24:49.479 rounds in most drafts. Yes, agreed, All right, Tim, I'm 1099 01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:53.319 looking I just I just have to comment. So you and I are in 1100 01:24:53.359 --> 01:24:59.640 the same age brackets. So and remember, uh K tell records to me 1101 01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:03.760 back in the day were these. So one of my first purchases in vinyl 1102 01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:09.359 was it was a k Tel record. And that's why you say Katel Marte. 1103 01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:15.039 It's actually Katel Marte. I have to every time I see coateell Marte, 1104 01:25:15.119 --> 01:25:18.560 I want to say KTOW because I remember all those albums I own back 1105 01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:23.720 in the day. Yeah, we were cut from from the same cloth, 1106 01:25:25.720 --> 01:25:28.720 and you were slapping them down listening to the guitar tracks, and I was 1107 01:25:28.840 --> 01:25:32.279 slapping them down listening to the drum tracks right, trying to trying to trying 1108 01:25:32.319 --> 01:25:36.079 to copy them and play them. I'd be a I'd be a much wealthier 1109 01:25:36.159 --> 01:25:40.399 man if I didn't spend all my money on record albums when I was a 1110 01:25:40.560 --> 01:25:45.319 kid. It's like no comment, no comment, no comment, all right 1111 01:25:45.359 --> 01:25:46.279 to me. And what everybody wants to know, Give me a couple of 1112 01:25:46.319 --> 01:25:54.119 sleepers, A couple of sleepers. I think Org Polon Uncle is underbellued. 1113 01:25:54.720 --> 01:26:00.720 All were missing is help there if you're looking at sleepers. I like Aguero 1114 01:26:00.800 --> 01:26:04.840 and Pittsburgh, I really do. I think there's potential there for a much 1115 01:26:04.920 --> 01:26:10.079 better season. You know, I'm not giving up on David Schneider either. 1116 01:26:10.119 --> 01:26:13.279 Depending on what the Jays do. If he's got a full time job, 1117 01:26:13.520 --> 01:26:17.720 David Schneider could turn into a very very nice player. I think. I 1118 01:26:18.039 --> 01:26:21.199 don't know. I agree with you. I just don't see how Worthy's gonna 1119 01:26:21.199 --> 01:26:25.079 get a chance to play. They're gonna they're gonna bring something. They've already 1120 01:26:25.079 --> 01:26:30.880 brought somebody in, right, so they trade for somebody or I kf. 1121 01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:35.479 Yeah he's okay, Yeah, okay, Yeah he's okay. But again, 1122 01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:41.920 depending on the advatsnwer's got some potential, Michael Vargas, maybe they'll trade him 1123 01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:49.600 or Miguel Vargas or Migel Vargas with the Dodgers. Yeah, how about how 1124 01:26:49.600 --> 01:26:57.319 about Xavier Edwards in Miami? Or if he gets an opportunity, Look, 1125 01:26:57.399 --> 01:27:00.399 that guy's fast, these good bat the balls feels no power, Yeah, 1126 01:27:00.439 --> 01:27:03.720 I mean he could steal you thirty forty bases if he gets a shot. 1127 01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:12.680 Yeah. So you know the problem with second base is when you start looking 1128 01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:16.520 at long shots, you don't have to. I think a lot of the 1129 01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:24.600 long shots per se at second base are going to be players picked up off 1130 01:27:24.640 --> 01:27:27.960 the waiver wire in season. Right. If I have a choice, am 1131 01:27:28.039 --> 01:27:32.000 I going to add a sleeper pick per se at second base? Or am 1132 01:27:32.079 --> 01:27:36.079 I going to add an outfielder or a starting pitcher. It's going to be 1133 01:27:36.119 --> 01:27:41.439 outfielder starting pitcher for me. Yeah yeah, all right, Timmy, give 1134 01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:44.760 me one guy that you're going to just avoid. He's not on the great 1135 01:27:44.840 --> 01:27:55.600 Tim McCloud's draft list. One guy that I'm going to totally avoid is probably 1136 01:27:56.920 --> 01:28:00.800 Luis Arise because I'm hoping I don't get myself into a city situation where I 1137 01:28:00.119 --> 01:28:03.560 need what he happens to bring to the table. And that's not a slight 1138 01:28:03.680 --> 01:28:08.159 against a Rise. Yeah, he's He's definitely going to help you in the 1139 01:28:08.199 --> 01:28:13.560 batting average and OVP numbers, but hopefully I won't need that help by the 1140 01:28:13.640 --> 01:28:16.479 time I start looking at filling my second base slot. The other player, 1141 01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:20.239 if I can comment, you bring up a really good point. It's look, 1142 01:28:20.680 --> 01:28:24.960 at least a Rise a very good baseball player and can help you in 1143 01:28:25.039 --> 01:28:29.159 a fantasy team. But you do feel like when you select him, you've 1144 01:28:29.239 --> 01:28:33.039 done something wrong. Right, You're getting him because you're low, You're low 1145 01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:38.199 on act, you're low on a category. It's almost like getting su Ruiz 1146 01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:42.800 as you're stolen base guy or rabbit. You that means you did something wrong. 1147 01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:46.920 And now you're you're you're counting on one guy to make up the flaws 1148 01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:50.520 of your of your draft. That rarely works out, but you know, 1149 01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:55.560 sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Yeah, if I 1150 01:28:55.640 --> 01:28:59.079 want to use my band aids, I want to use them on injured players. 1151 01:28:59.119 --> 01:29:01.039 I don't want to use them on players that I've just picked in a 1152 01:29:01.159 --> 01:29:05.720 draft. Right, I had the idea of correcting a problem that you've created 1153 01:29:05.760 --> 01:29:09.960 yourself. It's yeah, you're right, it's not not keen on me, 1154 01:29:10.399 --> 01:29:14.840 So give me another guy. I don't want Ryan McMahon. It just don't 1155 01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:16.079 either. I don't need. I have him a d L five, and 1156 01:29:16.159 --> 01:29:19.479 I'm like, I can't get anybody to trade with me for a third basement 1157 01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:23.560 because they're all laughing because I got Ryan McMahon and I've had him for five 1158 01:29:23.680 --> 01:29:27.880 years to him and so I've watched him day, day in and day. 1159 01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:30.960 I mean, don't have a couple of good weeks, but it's mostly black. 1160 01:29:30.880 --> 01:29:33.760 Well, yeah, my narrative says, you know, two thousand and 1161 01:29:33.800 --> 01:29:39.159 three probably provide me an okay year for McMahon, but it's okay, good 1162 01:29:39.279 --> 01:29:43.319 enough. Expect more of the same okay numbers in twenty twenty four. Okay, 1163 01:29:43.960 --> 01:29:48.039 yeah, exactly, Yeah, Yeah, it's yeah, it's it's okay, 1164 01:29:48.439 --> 01:29:51.159 it's okay. I totally totally agree with you. It's just okay. 1165 01:29:51.199 --> 01:29:54.319 I think he is third base eligible too, isn't he? Yeah, you 1166 01:29:54.359 --> 01:29:59.960 got him at their h so yeah, I that's one guy that's really disp 1167 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:02.119 point. I thought he'd be a better player than what he has become. 1168 01:30:02.199 --> 01:30:05.239 But that is what it is. I think we know the player now, 1169 01:30:05.439 --> 01:30:10.239 Timmy. That your second based off is really well done. It's all out 1170 01:30:10.279 --> 01:30:13.439 there on Prospect three sixty one. If your Patreon memory, you got it 1171 01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:16.439 all. I'm going to update that spreadsheet so we get last year's rankings. 1172 01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:19.520 Sorry about that, I just forgot to do it. Okay. Yeah, 1173 01:30:19.560 --> 01:30:25.039 that's your new Year's that's your new year's present to me, not taking a 1174 01:30:25.159 --> 01:30:30.039 look at last year's performance levels, even though they'd be interesting for sure. 1175 01:30:30.560 --> 01:30:32.359 Exactly, Timmy, that is a wrap, my friend. We're gonna cut 1176 01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:36.159 it here. We've already gone an hour and a half. That's long enough, 1177 01:30:36.239 --> 01:30:40.640 so we will pick up second base. Excuse me. The San Francisco 1178 01:30:40.720 --> 01:30:46.239 Giants on Sunday, Yeah sounds good. Notes are already uh ready ready to 1179 01:30:46.319 --> 01:30:50.720 rock with the giants and hold short stop right, I can have short Stop 1180 01:30:50.760 --> 01:30:55.600 ready to roll. Okay, that'd be great, Timmy. All I've got 1181 01:30:55.760 --> 01:30:59.000 to do is just list them and rack them, and we'll talk about my 1182 01:30:59.119 --> 01:31:02.760 selections. We can make fun of all my NFBC selections. Come on Sunday. 1183 01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:06.319 Will probably be done a good part of the draft then, so that'll 1184 01:31:06.359 --> 01:31:11.960 be fun. See see taken why we were on the air, Matt McClain 1185 01:31:12.079 --> 01:31:17.479 went after Aaron Nolay in the fourth round, fourth round, pick nine, 1186 01:31:17.520 --> 01:31:21.479 I believe. And then then the closers have started. You got Durant, 1187 01:31:23.399 --> 01:31:27.239 Emanuel Class, David Beddner or CJ. Abrams got snuck in there too, 1188 01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:30.800 So I that's why. Now, that's why I was thinking I needed to 1189 01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:33.079 get a closer, because all the big ones are going to be gone. 1190 01:31:33.159 --> 01:31:38.800 So that's I think there'll still be somebody left when I get I would I 1191 01:31:38.880 --> 01:31:42.760 would think so Develle's pretty solid in San Francisco. If he's still there, 1192 01:31:43.159 --> 01:31:46.279 yeah he is. But I'm three away from picking, so hopefully they will 1193 01:31:46.319 --> 01:31:48.920 be there. Right, I will tell you who was top on the list. 1194 01:31:49.039 --> 01:31:51.239 Now, I'm not gonna do that to me. It is a wrap, 1195 01:31:51.319 --> 01:31:56.680 my friend. Talk to you on Sunday. My friend sounds good. 1196 01:31:56.840 --> 01:32:00.960 Safe travels to you and Laurie and hope you miss all storms. And again 1197 01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:04.199 to all our listeners, Happy New Year. Let's hope twenty four is a 1198 01:32:04.359 --> 01:32:05.439 great one for all of us
