Hey, everybody, welcome back. 8 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,560 It is the Raspball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. I am beat on, joined 9 00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:19,120 us always by the fantasy master letario himself. Gray. All right, how's 10 00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:21,680 going over there? Gray? Hey? What's going on there? Beat? 11 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,480 I'm a nice, nice wardrobe selection you got there? Yeah, you know, 12 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,200 it felt like the right day for it for some reason, maybe just 13 00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:37,959 because our seasons might have died yesterday depending on on your teams and who you 14 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:42,599 had on them. Because it's it's been a bad injury week Gray, So 15 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,959 I'm just maybe maybe this is just the morning of seasons past. Now, 16 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Yeah, I actually full disclosure umpire Pat Hoberg bet that we would both wear 17 00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:04,079 this sim shirt. And he actually was nice enough to cut me in on 18 00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:09,280 it, so become the shady fine to take that one. Yeah, you 19 00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:14,639 should have worked out a sidepot with him. Yeah, you know, it 20 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,639 would have been would have been good to get that information from you, you 21 00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:20,280 know, just so that I could have worked that out. But I appreciate 22 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,319 the help Gray. As usual, I make nothing and Gray just benefits. 23 00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:30,800 That's uh, that's how this relationship works. It's okay, you know, 24 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,240 it's it's basically like you know, happy bladd Father's Day. It's a lot 25 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,680 of like father son relationships for for a long time going up, you know, 26 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:46,240 just the one way relationship. Yeah, I'm your father daddy. Uh, 27 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,199 i'd be the one getting stuff. I feel like it's the other way. 28 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,439 I'm the dad. I do all the ship get no benefit other than 29 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:59,840 just like you getting everything that you know, you know what be done. 30 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:06,840 You're my daddy. I uh so. Uh. For people who didn't hear, 31 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:13,960 there's another gambling scandal, which actually I mean the the first one was 32 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,719 the most high profile obviously because of Otani was involved, not involved. I 33 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:27,360 didn't say that. Don't don't don't don't sue me uh, team team Otani. 34 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:36,000 Uh. Then the the second gambling scandal, the to Competito to Coupetita 35 00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:45,439 Marcano. Uh totally said that correctly. That was That was probably probably the 36 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:54,520 the scandal that was the least talked about but actually was probably the worst for 37 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:03,919 baseball because actual players were involved. And then the latest scandal this weekend was 38 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:12,719 umpire Pat Hoberg, who I believe was one of the actually good umpires in 39 00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:16,360 baseball, Like is uh, he was always one that called a really good 40 00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:21,079 game. I think he actually in the World Series he called a perfect game. 41 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,839 Didn't get one behind home plate, that is, didn't get one ball 42 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:32,519 or strike incorrect for the entire World Series game. So in this scandal, 43 00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:42,680 I believe is the prelude to the point where things get really bad. This 44 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:50,519 is this feels like the precipice when MLB actually gets into real a real problem 45 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:58,639 if umpires are now caught gambling. Like before it was like the players are 46 00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:03,439 bad, absolutely, but you know marginal players who didn't really have an effect 47 00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:11,279 on the games. Okay, actual umpires now, yeah, this this feels 48 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:17,600 like a slow moving scandal that is going to just erupt at some point. 49 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,360 Soon. I get this feeling that this is not the end. This doesn't 50 00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:28,240 feel like the end. This feels like the beginning. Yeah, I mean, 51 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,839 just the prevalence of sports gambling and just I mean it's been made you 52 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:41,800 know, more and more legal. You know, the the discipline has been 53 00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:48,879 talked about because comparatively to you know, a lifetime ban, it's it feels 54 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,879 like a little bit of a slap on the wrist here for for Hoper, 55 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,839 but we'll see what's happening because it's not it's not settled yet. Feels wrong 56 00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:02,759 that the people who are supposed to be officiating the game aren't going to be 57 00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:11,199 held accountable to the rules. That this this feels uh, it feels a 58 00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:14,800 weird gray. I mean, but maybe that's just where we where we are 59 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,160 right now. Yeah, yeah, no, definitely, I you know. 60 00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:21,759 I I also I kind of wonder with like, uh, you know, 61 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:29,600 umpires if like because supposedly he didn't gamble on baseball. That's like, so 62 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:34,720 he's he was gambling but not on baseball. So I kind of wonder, 63 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,639 like I don't know this. I'm sure it's written out somewhere maybe you know, 64 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,560 but like, what is what's an umpire, like because players can gamble 65 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:53,720 on on non baseball sports, So can umpires not gamble at all? Or 66 00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:00,279 are they allowed to gamble in the offseason. I wonder, honestly, I'm 67 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,519 kind of wondering because you mentioned how like the prevalence of gambling, and I 68 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:12,279 wonder, like in the the nineteen thirties, like right after like Temperance and 69 00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:19,319 you know, right after Knukie from the Border Walk Empire, it got all 70 00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:27,199 the booze and it was legalized across the country. I wonder if like MLB 71 00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:32,439 had problems with like players suddenly like showing up at the games drunk because of 72 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:40,360 because alcohol was now legal. Because you know, like right now we're seeing 73 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:46,199 a point in like, you know, history where gambling has really become you 74 00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:51,439 know, second nature associated with baseball in all sports really, So you know, 75 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:57,120 at a certain point in the thirties, alcohol was the same way where 76 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,000 it was like, oh, you know, everyone's you know, everyone's dreams 77 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,160 game, like why can't I, you know, why can't I play you 78 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:13,680 know, first base for the Red Stockings drunk or whatever? I mean, 79 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,040 there must have been a lot besides Mickey Mantle, there must have been a 80 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:20,279 lot of players who were, you know, showing up drunk to games when 81 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:26,720 it was first legal. So I don't know. I just it's curious that 82 00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:31,960 at a certain point, like obviously alcohol wasn't you know, illegal for players, 83 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,279 it wasn't illegal for them to be drunk on the field, which you 84 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,000 know, some players are probably still showing up the game trunk, but uh 85 00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:46,759 no, I just want but gambling is illegal for them at least, so 86 00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:52,679 I do kind of wonder, Like it feels like again, this feels like 87 00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:56,480 the beginning and not the end, Like it feels like there's gonna be at 88 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,360 some point in the near future we're gonna hear a story about, like, 89 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,759 you know, some All star player who was caught gambling. Like that feels 90 00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:09,360 it feels headed that way, like it really does. It doesn't. This 91 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,799 does not feel like, oh, you know, just like one offs. 92 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,919 Yeah, to answer your question, umpires can they're the same rules that their 93 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,240 players go by. So you can make legal bets, so like through apps 94 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:33,159 or through sports books on other sports, it's when you go through non legal 95 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:41,799 channels or maybe bet on your sport. Gotchare are issues. So Hopeberg was 96 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,080 he was using a book maker that or something I would assume he was using 97 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,639 a bookie if he said he wasn't betting on baseball. I personally find it 98 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,240 kind of hard to believe that you're not betting on the sport that you know 99 00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:01,879 best. But okay, sure, well can physically control I know the people 100 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,519 umpiring and like I watch I mean, I watched the documentary, but I 101 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,759 don't follow basketball. You I think you do, right, Like there was 102 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,840 a there was a ref who got busted. Oh yeah, yeah, so 103 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:22,080 yeah. I mean, I don't know. Maybe maybe maybe baseball will avoid 104 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:28,200 this getting worse, but it really it feels a little bizarre that like this 105 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,960 is a third gambling scandal in the matter of like, you know, what 106 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,039 is it three months now? In three months, there's been like one gambling 107 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,080 scandal a month. I don't know. Maybe it'll you know, cool off 108 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:46,240 at some point, but it feels like it's getting progressively worse. Anyway, 109 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,480 we should move on the fantasy. I mean, I'm just also wondering why 110 00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:56,000 people aren't just using the apps or like betting through legal sources, because they 111 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,639 can do that in like every other city they go to now, So I 112 00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:03,000 just it doesn't really make sense to me. Why why bookies are necessary at 113 00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:07,080 this point. I mean, I understand having an old school bookie, and 114 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:11,519 you know you've been probably been betting through them for a while. But why 115 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:18,399 why you know my I know, Uh, Coogs is my wife, Coogs 116 00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:20,279 is my brother in law. He uses a bookie. I don't think that. 117 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,440 I don't think it's bad to say that. I know he is a 118 00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:31,799 bookie, and I I don't. I can't gamble in California. If I 119 00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:33,000 wanted to, I would have to use a bookie. But I don't. 120 00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:39,000 I you know, I think people are pretty aware from from from Rosball that 121 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:45,360 I'm not really a gambler. I'm yeah, sorry, I don't know. 122 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,960 I was just gonna say that. You know, my my last big my 123 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,639 last big bet was betting Dom Smith would lead the Majors in the home run. 124 00:11:54,279 --> 00:12:01,440 So I know, I know better after after you'd made that year, 125 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,600 you know, in under the under the Bus. I'm never telling you anything 126 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,320 again, Gray, so uh, you know, hopefully hopefully he doesn't get 127 00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:15,879 caught with a bookie or anything, since that is definitely illegal. Still Gray, 128 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,919 anyways, let's move on to some injuries Gray, and real quick before 129 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,399 you really get into them. If you did have injuries were in your season, 130 00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:28,919 Don't forget that the ras boll is coming up, and if you want 131 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,200 to invite to it, you need to get signed up sooner out of the 132 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:37,200 later, because the first set of invites are being sent out, I believe 133 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,159 sometime this week or next week. So if you want in the RAS ball, 134 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,039 make sure you get in right now. Go over to the site and 135 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,240 sign up and make sure that you are in and registered for that if you 136 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,600 were a fantasy football player. With that, Gray, let's give the people 137 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,759 some fantasy baseball talk. And by that I mean I'm gonna cry and moan 138 00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:05,519 and I may just disappear for time on end. Don't worry. I'm I'm 139 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:11,679 still here somewhere. But let's start in Dodgerland. Mookie bets number sixteen on 140 00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:15,080 the season to day play Raider, and that might be as low as he's 141 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,519 been all season. He is a fractured bone in his left wrist. There 142 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,240 is no timetable as of right now, but he's out for some time, 143 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:31,399 is the quote. Thanks for that brilliant insight, Davy Robs. He's out 144 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:37,600 for some time. Gray, That's that's very helpful, David Davy Bob. 145 00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:45,759 We went from we went from the problems with gambling into the problems with Bets. 146 00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:52,000 I you know, I honestly I heard about the Bets injury and I 147 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,559 was just like, how do I how do I learn fantasy football so I 148 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:05,679 can be in the rath ball because now my teams are a disaster? Uh 149 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,840 yeah, I mean I don't know, man, It's like it's importants. 150 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:16,120 So it's so dumb to even like you know, uh, you know, 151 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,320 like with the timetable, it's like you're you basically you may as well just 152 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:26,480 throw dart against the wall, like throw a dart against the calendar under wall 153 00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:30,879 for when Bets is gonna return with you know what we heard from the Dodgers. 154 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,240 I don't know. A fractured bone the left wrist. That could mean 155 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:41,559 anything from like I don't know, maybe uh three, three to five weeks 156 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:48,159 to September maybe, you know, I have no idea. Honestly, I 157 00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:52,279 don't know, because like, you know, fractured hands, like uh, 158 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,879 like what was it? TJ. Friedel he had a fractured thumb, I 159 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,000 think, and he came back like I don't know, what was it like 160 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:07,840 three weeks? And then you have other guys who they have a fractured hammet 161 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:13,559 bone and they're back in like three weeks to a month. And then you 162 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:18,440 have other guys who break their wrist and they're out for three months. And 163 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,480 it's like, it's impossible to know. I honestly, I don't know. 164 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,799 It stinks, so it definitely stinks. I yeah, I mean, actually, 165 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,840 well we'll talk about him in a second. But I lost the other 166 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,519 big Dodger who got injured. So with Bets, you know, I guess 167 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:41,080 who's replacing him. You know, I heard from the Dodgers. You know, 168 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:48,360 the Dodgers beat writer said that it was going to go mostly to Miguel 169 00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:54,360 Rojas, and you know, that's unfortunately, that's not really good for fantasy. 170 00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:58,919 It makes sense, like he is, he does have a good glove, 171 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,320 so it kind of it makes sense for the Dodgers. I don't I 172 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:10,080 don't see why the Dodgers would go to Miguel Vargas, the more interesting one 173 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:15,320 for fantasy. I would assume they will go to Rojas, and that doesn't 174 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:22,399 really help most people outside of maybe NL only. You know, they also 175 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:30,039 got Kevin Kevin Bigio recently, uh from the Jays, and you know, 176 00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:34,200 he's also. I mean, it's like between Kevin, Kevin, Bigio, 177 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:41,360 Gavin Lux, Miguel Rojas. It's like there they are three automatic outs at 178 00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:44,679 the bother at the bottom of the Dodgers lineup, Like the top of the 179 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,759 lineup is still good, like you know, O'tani moves the lead off probably 180 00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:55,559 then you have Freeman, will Smith, tay Oscar Paget's uh and then it's 181 00:16:55,679 --> 00:17:03,519 like a mixed match of Hayward, Bigio, Rojas and reque Keik Hernandez, 182 00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:08,400 Chris Taylor, who's been historically bad by the way, I don't know, 183 00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,400 I don't know if people have been following Chris Taylor, but he's been like 184 00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:17,200 incredibly bad. And then Miguel Vargas was called up too, so like the 185 00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:21,039 bottom four of the Dodgers order. Eh, I don't know, I don't 186 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:26,720 know if there's anything really there outside of like maybe in a fifteen teen mix 187 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:33,799 league if you want to gamble on like Bigio potentially having a little bit more 188 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,480 value, but all these guys feel kind of NL only ish, like Vargas 189 00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:42,440 would be the most interesting, but he's probably the one with the least amount 190 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,240 of at bat's coming his way, so Yeah, I don't. I don't 191 00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:51,640 know. I'm not really that excited about any of the guys that are taking 192 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,119 over, you know, trying to fill in at least for Bets. Yeah, 193 00:17:56,599 --> 00:18:00,559 unfortunately, I think it's gonna be a bit of even if they kind 194 00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:03,000 of give it to Rojas, they're still going to be I think some moving 195 00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:07,680 in and out. And as you mentioned, none of them are really interesting 196 00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:11,680 for our game unless you were in very deep leagues. So if you're in 197 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:15,920 those leagues, you know, it is probably Vargas that or been Rojas. 198 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,640 Maybe Vargas gets some some time there, Bigio gets some playing time. Maybe 199 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,079 it's just in that he slots in other places. But I'm I'm not all 200 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,039 that excited about it. And yeah, as you mentioned, risk can be 201 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:37,880 very tricky in regards to recovery. You know, if I just I just 202 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,799 googled it and it says six to twelve weeks up to a year depending on 203 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,599 how recovery goes. So that's not that's not what we really wanted to hear. 204 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,160 Let's go ahead and move over to the other injury that you mentioned for 205 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:57,319 the Dodgers, which is Yoshi Yammoto is number sixty seven on the on the 206 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,559 season's day player atter number nine teen starting pitcher. He has a right rotator 207 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,160 cuff strain. He's going on the il. Davy says it's not season ending. 208 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:15,720 We will see about that. It's like, yeah, I mean talk 209 00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:18,519 about it. Like it's just like, uh, yeah, this guy's got 210 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,279 like uh, you know, he's got an arm injury or whatever. And 211 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,119 it's like, oh, yeah, well, what's the timetable, Well, 212 00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:29,799 he should be back this year. It's like, uh, it's June, 213 00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:33,440 bro, what he've been talking about he should be back this year. I 214 00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:41,799 hope he's back this year. It's June. Oh man. It is super 215 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,440 I mean, it's super convenient for the Dodgers. You also gotta you gotta 216 00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:49,559 wonder like how I don't know. I mean, I'm assuming it was a 217 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,400 real injury because the velocity was down, right, Like the Dodgers have been 218 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,640 known to fake injuries, but his velocity was down, so you're assuming it 219 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,640 was a injury. I guess what I'm what I'm getting at is like Bobby 220 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,079 Miller is set to return on Wednesday, so it's like, well, that's 221 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:15,599 kind of convenient for the Dodgers to suddenly have Yamamoto go to the IL right 222 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,759 when Bobby Miller's coming back. Okay, I mean it's good for the Dodgers. 223 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,640 It's not good for me though. It's not good for my fantasy teams. 224 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,240 I'll tell you that. Yeah. This stinks, man, This is 225 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:33,559 it's a it's not a good story on Yamamoto either, because like Bobby Miller, 226 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:41,039 like he went down you know, in April, and he just disappeared 227 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,839 for like what was it like two and a half months, Like he was 228 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,480 just maybe it was two months, but still, I mean he just disappeared 229 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:52,240 for two months. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Yamamoto. I mean, 230 00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:56,599 it's not encouraging when the manager's like, yeah, I mean he should be 231 00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:02,880 back this year, it's like yeah, hope, So I really hope. 232 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,559 So man, that's that is my that's my hope. I don't know. 233 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:15,160 So again, you know, for ETAs on return dates for Yamamoto, I 234 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,480 don't know, maybe maybe end of August, beginning of September and then he 235 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,640 like ramps up for the playoffs. The problem the problem is with the Dodgers 236 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,799 too, Like they don't need them, so it's like what what do they 237 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:33,519 care? Like if he's back in you know, right after the All Star 238 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,920 break in July, or if he's back in September. They don't care either 239 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,319 way. So I'm guessing he's not coming back until September, just to keep 240 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,119 his innings in check and just to ramp him up for the playoffs, because 241 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,480 that's all they really want Yamamoto for is for the playoffs. Anyway. For 242 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,720 Bobby Miller, yeah, I mean I'm excited actually to have him back. 243 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,559 Hopefully he looks better than he did, you know when he when he went 244 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,119 to the I l he is. I mean, he's a potential ace. 245 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:10,599 I don't understand bringing him back to go to Coors as his first start. 246 00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:15,079 That's not great from a fantasy standpoint. But yeah, I'm I'm actually I'm 247 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,759 benching him this week. You know, what's the what's the worst thing that 248 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:25,319 happens, I I miss out on a seven inning or a six inning gem. 249 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,559 I mean, he's not gonna he's not gonna throw that many pitches and 250 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:33,440 it's cores. So I'm benching him. But yeah, I'm excited that he's 251 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,160 coming back, hopefully you know, not this week. Next week he can 252 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,119 go into my fantasy you know, he can go into my fantasy team lineup 253 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,559 and you know, do well like we thought he was going to in March. 254 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,400 Yeah, so let me give you some names here. With Bobby Miller 255 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:59,599 returning, Who would you rather have? Bobby Miller or Andrew Heeney? Oh 256 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,720 god, Miller, yeah, Andrew Hey, Oh my god? No? 257 00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:08,240 Who would I rather have? Nate Pearson for maybe the occasional save once every 258 00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:11,920 three weeks or Andrew Hey? I want? I want Pearson? No, 259 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:18,279 I I don't want Andrew Hey. And anyway, all right, how about 260 00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:23,440 how about you know, surprise of the season maybe been Lively. Uh, 261 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,200 that's that's a little bit closer. But I would go Bobby Miller just on 262 00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:33,559 the hope that he's back, and you know, it looks as anywhere close 263 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,319 to what we were thought we were getting. I like, I do like 264 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,240 Ben Lively though you know, I've I've had him for about a month and 265 00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:45,480 a half now in a couple of leagues, and other than other than his 266 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,200 Sunday start, he's he's looked pretty good for a while now. But yeah, 267 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,319 I would I would still go Bobby Miller, just for the chance for 268 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,160 upside. All right, one last one? Would you go him? Or 269 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:03,039 our fellow Dodger, Gavin Stone. I'm going Gavin Stone. Yeah, I 270 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,799 mean, his ear has been great. The strikeouts aren't, aren't, you 271 00:24:07,839 --> 00:24:11,559 know, spectacular, But I would I would agree just the the way he's 272 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,400 been pitching has been strong enough that I think I'd just take the burd in 273 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,720 the hand there and just move forward with with Stone. All right, let's 274 00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:23,319 move on to Arizona where Corbyn Carroll left the game on Sunday. He's going 275 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:29,160 for an MRI on his left side. This feels like, regardless of how 276 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,279 this AMRAI comes, he's gonna miss some time because he feels like he needs 277 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,240 to miss some time. You know, he was drafted obviously as a consensus 278 00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,680 top five player currently two hundred and thirtieth on the Player Raider. If he 279 00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:45,680 miss his time, that's hot. Honestly, I thought he was worse. 280 00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:49,200 Sorry, yeah, it does seem it does seem like it should be worse. 281 00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:52,480 But you know, he hits at the top of the lineup. He 282 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:55,920 hits every day and he still has some Stone bases. So yeah, I 283 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,640 mean, I guess I guess a little bit of value there. Are you 284 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,839 looking anybody that's replaced him, which looks like right now, it looks like 285 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:10,039 Rental Gritchick and Jack Peterson likely the two beneficiaries haven't seen an Aisle move yet 286 00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:11,759 because they're waiting, I guess, to see how the AMRI goes. But 287 00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:17,720 again, I'm assuming he's going at least for some if not, just a 288 00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:21,680 minimal stay, maybe even longer, just kind of give himself, right, 289 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:27,240 Yeah, you would think supposedly he's The results just came back and it says 290 00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:36,839 his MRI was clean, unlike his stat line which is which is really ugly 291 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:42,039 and thirty. I you know, I think Corbyn Carrol for me is like, 292 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:48,599 I mean, I wouldn't drop him, but I would like look at 293 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,720 him as like a third or fourth outfielder at this point. I mean, 294 00:25:52,079 --> 00:25:56,240 you can't, like, if something comes of him, great, but I'm 295 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:03,960 not like I'm not expecting to bounce, you know. Like the MRI put 296 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,160 is clean on his left side, but what's it look like on his shoulder 297 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:15,240 as his are his knees okay, because he's not really even stealing bases like 298 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,240 he should. Is his Like his left side is clean, but what's the 299 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,400 MRI like on his right side? Because there's a problem somewhere with Corbyn Carroll 300 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:29,480 that we have not gotten to the bottom of. Like he's he's not right 301 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,680 at all, Like that's I think that's you know at this point. I 302 00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:38,480 mean, I'm not saying anything shocking here. Everyone realizes Corbyn Carroll is off 303 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:45,799 this year. So you know, in shallower leagues, I would I would 304 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,720 look at like, you know, if he were on waivers, I would 305 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:52,519 pick him up in a tent. In a ten team mix league, I 306 00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:56,559 would pick up Corbyn Carroll, but I wouldn't expect anything other than steals. 307 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,599 And if I were in a twelve team mix league, I would hold on 308 00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:03,119 to him. But like I said, I would think of him as like 309 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:10,960 a third or fourth outfielder. And you know, like Duran or Corbin Carroll, 310 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,519 I think Duran's been much better. I don't see any reason why to 311 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,960 think Carol would be better. You know, earlier this year, we were 312 00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:26,119 talking about twenty twenty five and where Corbin Carroll was gonna end up, you 313 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,079 know, getting drafted for next year. I think I said originally like top 314 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,839 twenty five, but I don't think he's gonna be top seventy five at this 315 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,319 point. I don't know, maybe maybe you know, like maybe maybe like 316 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,680 seventy five. Overall, he's definitely gonna be like, you know, someone 317 00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:45,880 taking a flyer on a bounce back, because and it doesn't look like he's 318 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,839 coming out of this. You know, hopefully I eat my words and he 319 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:55,680 does come out of it, but it doesn't look like it's happening. Yeah, 320 00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:59,599 it's uh, it's gonna be based on just the upside that we've seen 321 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,920 from him him and just assuming that this is an injury riddled season, he's 322 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,319 just not right. I assume we'll get some kind of information at some point 323 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:15,799 that that says such. I mean, if we're just looking for you know 324 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,400 that eventuality we can we can talk about some names real quick. Gray. 325 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,599 I mean, obviously if you're talking about that, I'll just throw out you 326 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,880 know, obviously you're taking Juli Rodriguez over him. Would you take Tatis over 327 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:33,279 him? Oh? God, yeah you wouldn't. No, I would. 328 00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:37,119 I'm just asking no, No, it's fair, yeah, not too. 329 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,240 I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. What would you the 330 00:28:41,559 --> 00:28:45,559 guy who I said is closer? What about Duran? Duran or Corbyn Carroll? 331 00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:49,000 Who are you taking? I mean, I think if we're talking for 332 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:56,519 next year, which you know, then we're talking full upside. I think 333 00:28:56,599 --> 00:29:00,079 i'd probably still go Carol. Duran just has zero, so you just you 334 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,519 know you're missing right what about right now? But right now for rest of 335 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,000 season? Yeah, I mean I would go Durand because I I don't think 336 00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:11,559 Carroll's healthy rest of the season. And what about it's kind of apples and 337 00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:15,799 oranges. But what about someone who else, someone who also hasn't been healthy, 338 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,079 Tyler O'Neill or Corbyn Carroll for this year alone. I'll take Corbin Carroll 339 00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:26,759 there. Yeah, I would too, but it's close though, right. 340 00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:32,079 I just don't trust Tyler O'Neill in general, and then I don't trust them 341 00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:36,400 to stay healthy on top of it, so it's like a double I don't 342 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,039 trust you. Yeah, yeah, no, no, I hear you. 343 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:45,720 Yeah no, I I agree. I think I think they're probably Tyler, 344 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:52,920 Tyler O'Neill. What about Jerkson prof this year? Jerkson Profar or Corbyn Carroll. 345 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,799 That's that's really mean to make me have to say this out loud, 346 00:29:57,839 --> 00:30:03,880 Gray, I think you have to go Profar just based on what he's been 347 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,279 doing. I mean, we could definitely see like one of the hardest first 348 00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:11,200 half. The second half flips to where he's you know, a top twenty 349 00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:17,400 five player and he goes to you know, bottom of the too fifty range 350 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,480 somewhere. But as of right now, I mean, how can you not 351 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,279 say it's profar this is this is probably an easy one. But tay oscar 352 00:30:25,599 --> 00:30:30,920 or Corbyn Carrol not Tascar. I mean Taoskar has been putting out good numbers. 353 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,799 The stolen base has slowed down after that first little burst, but it 354 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:40,519 looks like everything else is okay. So you're reranking this point forward, you're 355 00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:45,799 drafting tomorrow Corbyn Carroll is getting drafted for you. When are you taking him? 356 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:57,400 Overall? I would say he's probably going in the top eighty ninety somewhere 357 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,359 in that range. Yes, it's like it makes sense. Yeah, like 358 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,119 I said, like seventy five overall. Yeah, because there's some really boring 359 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,079 guys that are gonna go that I'm just not interested in in that area, 360 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:15,160 and I'll just I'll take the upside and grab the boring later. Yeah. 361 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,039 Yeah, no, I hear, you go go for the boying before the 362 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,039 boring. Yeah. And uh, and if we're redrafting now, you know, 363 00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:25,640 I feel like we you know, if you redraft mid season, you 364 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,039 have a better idea of pictures too that we do preseason. A little bit 365 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:36,599 like it feels like someone else, someone else who has also struggling A Dolls, 366 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:44,480 Garcia or Corman Carrol Hm. I mean, I think that's a needs 367 00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:48,240 based one, if you need power or steals, because I think they're kind 368 00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:52,519 of giving you only one thing. Really, they might give you some counting 369 00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:57,680 numbers, but they're primarily gonna be power or speed. I guess I would 370 00:31:57,799 --> 00:32:01,200 have to. I guess i'd go up just because I think he's going to 371 00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:06,240 get back together. I don't think it's necessarily an injury related thing. Whereas 372 00:32:06,279 --> 00:32:09,440 if they're not gonna sit Corbyn down, which based on the report, it 373 00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:15,119 doesn't sound like they're sitting him down for any kind of real time. I 374 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,240 don't know when he's supposed to get healthy, Like, I don't know when 375 00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:22,680 that happens until we get in the next season. Yeah, I think also 376 00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:29,519 with A Dallas, I think the concern that everyone had for the last three 377 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,119 years that he never took any pitches is finally caught up to him this year. 378 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,640 But in fairness to a dollas Garcia. He is around eighty five overall 379 00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:45,680 on the player Raider versus Corbyn Carroll, who you mentioned earlier was at like 380 00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:50,480 two thirty or whatever. Yeah, I mean that though of course he has 381 00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:54,599 been worse than we've seen from him, but still not that bad. Yeah. 382 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,599 I mean part of it is that he got out of the gate really 383 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,119 hot and it's just been kind of tread full for like a month and a 384 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,119 half. So I know, if you own a dollars, you're you're just 385 00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:08,079 waiting for it to kind of stap out. But I really do believe it's 386 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,880 coming. It's just a little bit of uh, you know, he's he's 387 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,880 just kind of not making the greatest of contact and getting a little unlucky. 388 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,000 On top of that, nothing else in the numbers really says like, you 389 00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:25,240 know, he's done and it's not coming back at any point, So I 390 00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:29,000 think, of anything, this is probably the time to buy a dollars rather 391 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:35,960 than you know, try and sell him off low. While we're on Arizona 392 00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:39,160 real quick, I just want to mention that Jordan Lawler is a hamstring injury, 393 00:33:39,359 --> 00:33:45,640 which is of course just happening after he's back for like a couple of 394 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:51,680 weeks following the offseason thumb surgery. So sucks for Jordan Lawler. But if 395 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,400 you've been holding on to him because you thought he might get called up because 396 00:33:54,400 --> 00:34:00,559 he was just smashing the ball, you know you may have to wait it 397 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,119 out. So if you need that roster spot, you could probably let him 398 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,720 go because it sounds like he's gonna be out for re least a couple of 399 00:34:06,759 --> 00:34:12,400 weeks here. Yeah, yeah, agreed, all right, great. Moving 400 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,679 on to Atlanta, Michael Harris has a great to left hamstring strain. No 401 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:22,280 title timetable for return. It usually a four to eight week type of thing, 402 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:29,000 depending on where it fits in that grade too and recovery process. There's 403 00:34:29,039 --> 00:34:32,440 a bunch of junk here to replace him, Gray, Are you interested in 404 00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:38,480 anything there? Or maybe we see Atlanta trade for somebody, or maybe they 405 00:34:38,559 --> 00:34:45,400 just become sellers because they don't think it's Atlanta's year. I think they're probably 406 00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:51,199 still gonna win, probably still get the wildcard, but that I mean everyone 407 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:57,199 gets the wildcard now anyway, anyway, but that beyond, that's beyond at 408 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,559 the point at this point, so I would say, yeah, I mean, 409 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:09,199 the Braves options are hopefully worse than your options in your fantasy. Hopefully 410 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,960 you have better options. So I mean, they're going to like Loriano maybe 411 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,320 I don't know. I don't even know who they're going to, but I 412 00:35:19,039 --> 00:35:22,559 hope you have better options. So yeah, I would. I would try 413 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,599 outside of like NL only I don't think any of those names really matter, 414 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:35,320 you know, like the Forest Wall, Brian Anderson's of the world, you 415 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,119 know whatever. Yeah, I mean, I think Loriano, if he can 416 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:46,480 magically recapture the twenty nineteen Bounty Ball version of himself, there might be a 417 00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:50,599 little bit. But I mean again that was it was so long ago, 418 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,719 and with that ball, forest Wall could maybe get you some stolen bases. 419 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:59,760 But it's real boring. In regards to their replacement options currently going, they're 420 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:06,639 gonnah, I would bescribe to Coriano. You're going from one pet's suspended player 421 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:12,800 too. Yep. Let's go ahead and move on to Cincinnati, where Nova 422 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,679 Marte is due back by the end of June. Gray June twenty eighth, 423 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:21,039 I believe, is the date currently last year, three home runs, six 424 00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:24,519 on bases and thirty five games with the Reds three sixteen, three sixty six, 425 00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:30,159 four fifty six Obviously, the suspension draws some of that into question. 426 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,760 Potentially, where are you thinking? Where do you think he slots in for 427 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,679 the Reds? Is he full time? Is this somebody you're willing to stash 428 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:45,599 for you know, two weeks or are you just waiting waiting until he gets 429 00:36:45,639 --> 00:36:51,039 called back or gets back out? Uh? You know, actually a bug 430 00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:58,119 crawl, A bug crawled, A bug crawled up the butt this morning, 431 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,800 and I got a I got a hanker in for some novel. No leave, 432 00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:15,800 no Noble, I got Noel Noel bay Marte. I picked him up. 433 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:22,280 Long story short, I picked him up in our twelve team mix league, 434 00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:27,840 and if I need a spot in that league, I might drop him 435 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,559 before he comes back. But I picked him up for now, so we'll 436 00:37:30,679 --> 00:37:36,960 see. I you know, I don't know if like, where's Marte? 437 00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:43,000 So I'm assuming Condelorious stays at third He's been fine, right Uh? And 438 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:49,039 uh, so I'm assuming like second base, well d H is open for 439 00:37:49,119 --> 00:37:55,920 the Reds. So you have Nick Martini. Uh, Nick Martini and a 440 00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:02,360 bunch of other like guys that you don't care out have been dhing so far 441 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:10,400 for the Reds. So I would assume Jonathan India goes to dh for the 442 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:16,519 most part, or at least like platoons in and out, and Marte then 443 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:25,320 he takes over for India at second. I would guess if that's or maybe 444 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:34,159 Condelaria goes into the DHU and Marte takes over a third. I don't know. 445 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,039 I think Marte plays though, I mean I would assume so I'd be 446 00:38:38,199 --> 00:38:44,079 kind of surprised if he doesn't play at My guess is he mostly plays second 447 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,880 with the India switching out. Yeah, I don't know. I like Marte, 448 00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:52,679 like I said, I picked him up in the in our twelve team 449 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:58,800 mix league, so he's got power and speed. He was I believe before 450 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:05,360 the ped suspect he was going around like seventy five to eighty five overall on 451 00:39:06,039 --> 00:39:09,079 in preseason drafts, so he was. It wasn't or maybe one hundred, 452 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,760 one hundred and ten maybe somewhere in there. I forget, but he was, 453 00:39:15,519 --> 00:39:19,119 you know, I mean, people wanted Marte on their team. So 454 00:39:19,519 --> 00:39:22,719 it's like, I don't think any of that really has uh, you know, 455 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:28,559 completely evaporated just because he got suspended. I don't know, I don't, 456 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,639 you know, for the most part, with these suspensions Loriano included, 457 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,280 I don't know Loriana's actually I don't know what the Loreana situation was. But 458 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:45,039 with Marte and sort of like and Tatis, like with those, you know, 459 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:51,440 they're saying that they didn't know that they were taking pets, which you 460 00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:58,519 know, honestly, I mean I laughed there, I had an inavertent giggle, 461 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,320 but like, it doesn't It wouldn't shock me if they really didn't know 462 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:07,039 that they were taking peeds, because you know, if you're rehabbing and a 463 00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:12,320 doctor prescribed something or if you're just like if you're down, if you're taking 464 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,159 something, you're not sure what it is. Yeah, I mean that could 465 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,000 happen. So if someone doesn't, you know, like in Marte. It 466 00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:24,119 wasn't like Marte was taking peds like people hear peds and I think they think 467 00:40:24,639 --> 00:40:30,960 like McGuire or Bonds. And it's not like it's not like Marte went from 468 00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:36,400 like a twelve homer hitter to like a sixty homer hitter. I mean he 469 00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:39,760 was he was always a fifteen homer hitter, right, It's not like he 470 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:45,519 like suddenly became Brady Anderson or something like. He didn't. He didn't suddenly 471 00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:51,480 get fifty homer power. So it's like, okay, he was taking peds. 472 00:40:51,599 --> 00:40:55,320 Even if he was, it wasn't like he was taking steroids. You 473 00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,400 know. I don't know. I'm sort of of the mind of, like, 474 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,440 you know, if the guy was taking pets, what was Maybe he 475 00:41:04,599 --> 00:41:08,039 was taking it to like, you know, have his hamstring not bother him 476 00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:10,840 anymore. Who knows, I don't know, but he wasn't he was. 477 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,239 Obviously, this isn't like the days of like jose Canseco sticking a needle in 478 00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:22,960 Mark McGuire's asked to help him hit seventy homers like this is We're way past 479 00:41:23,039 --> 00:41:30,360 that point, you know. I think with Marte, my guess is he's 480 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:35,360 going to be totally fine for you know, when he returns, when he 481 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,960 gets up to speed. But right now in the minors, he has not 482 00:41:39,119 --> 00:41:43,559 looked great. But it's super early. It's a you know, he's only 483 00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:46,800 played five games as of right now, and he's been striking out a lot. 484 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:52,719 He hasn't walked once yet, so he's it's obviously it's like spring training 485 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,719 for him, so it's gonna take him a little bit of time to get 486 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,400 up to speed. But yeah, I mean, I would grab him at 487 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:04,960 any lee he's back with the Reds because you know, Red's playing a good 488 00:42:05,039 --> 00:42:09,840 part for hitting, and Marte does have power and speed and he's always shown 489 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:15,519 a solid ability to make contact in previous years. So yeah, I like 490 00:42:15,639 --> 00:42:20,360 him. Yeah, and there's no reason he could slot in as high as 491 00:42:21,079 --> 00:42:25,599 six or seven. I mean, Martini, India Benson aren't necessarily keeping him 492 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,480 from from moving up that lineup. Tyler Stevenson has been performing well recently, 493 00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:36,800 but before that he was absolutely abysmal, so he could definitely move above Tyler 494 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,920 Stevenson and even Jake Frayley. So I mean he could be up to five. 495 00:42:42,599 --> 00:42:45,679 I think if he starts to click in the miners a little bit. 496 00:42:46,199 --> 00:42:50,639 But yeah, as you mentioned, like he's jumping in, there's no there's 497 00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:54,199 no ramp up to spring training games for him. It's like he's jumping in 498 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:59,159 the middle of a minor league season and he's trying to get get going. 499 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,920 So I wouldn't be surprised to see the numbers look bad, you know, 500 00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:07,239 initially, It'll just be if he can kind of turn it around before he 501 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:13,440 joins the Reds. Definitely not a bad gamble because there's probably not anything quite 502 00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:17,079 like him on your waiver wire, excepting in short or in shallow leagues. 503 00:43:20,039 --> 00:43:23,400 Let's move over to Yankees. Rizzo or Anthony Rizzo has a right hand slash 504 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:32,519 wrist injury. We're waiting to hear about seriousness. Mayhew Oswaldo Cabrera likely going 505 00:43:32,559 --> 00:43:38,159 to handle the corner spots. Maybe Ben Rice gets a look great, but 506 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:45,400 what are you thinking in regards to kind of the replacement options here for Rizzo 507 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,760 if he has to miss some time. Uh? Yeah, you know, 508 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,199 someone someone in the comments asked about Ben Rice. You know, he's got 509 00:43:54,360 --> 00:44:00,360 a he's he's hitting well in the miners, has a lot of seems kind 510 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:05,320 of like seems like he might be a quad A player Ben Rice. I 511 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,920 don't know he's but it's hard to say with the Yankees because they just leave 512 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:14,440 every you know, they don't promote rookies unless you know, it's like Volpe 513 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,480 or you know, a really like a top rookie. If it's not a 514 00:44:17,559 --> 00:44:22,719 top rookie, they're not giving them the time of day, like do Minga 515 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,039 is Volpe. Those are the kind of guys that the Yankees promote. Anyway, 516 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,800 Ben Rice is twenty five years old and he just made it to triple 517 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:37,119 A. So I don't think he's really anything. I honestly, maybe if 518 00:44:37,159 --> 00:44:40,599 he's anything, he's just power. But I don't really see the Yankees going 519 00:44:40,679 --> 00:44:45,360 to him. If anything, I see the Yankees going like you mentioned, 520 00:44:45,159 --> 00:44:50,599 I see them going to like Lemayhew, you know, at first, and 521 00:44:50,679 --> 00:45:01,719 then probably a combination of like Cabrera at third, maybe Cabrera, maybe Grisham, 522 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:09,840 you know, maybe Grisham plays a little bit of second and Glabor goes 523 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,559 to third. Maybe, I mean, excuse me, first, I don't 524 00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:21,440 know they have they have some flexibility with DJ Lemayhew, So I would assume 525 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,599 that they whatever they have on their major league roster right now is what it's 526 00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:30,239 going to be, and no one that interesting is going to come into play 527 00:45:30,639 --> 00:45:32,920 with, like you know, the Ben Rice of the world, you know, 528 00:45:34,159 --> 00:45:38,400 or any or anyone else really that's of interest, uh with you know, 529 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:43,480 the Yankees, if Rizzo needs to be you know, needs to be 530 00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:46,760 I led for you know, I don't I don't even know. As of 531 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,400 the recording of this, it's hard to say. We don't know exactly what 532 00:45:51,599 --> 00:45:58,480 Rizzo's injury is. Yeah, yeah, I would guess that's goods is just 533 00:45:58,519 --> 00:46:01,400 gonna move some people around, and this really going to affect the people that 534 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:06,239 were seeing in the lineup regularly. Maybe you know, like you said, 535 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,280 Ben Rice, or somebody gets promoted and and sees a day here or there. 536 00:46:09,559 --> 00:46:15,679 But I would imagine Lemee goes the first, it was waldoll Cover's third, 537 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,960 or Glabor goes third, and and I was Walda Covered second, some 538 00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:22,360 combination of that, and they just they just go on as as they've been 539 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:28,679 doing. Jason Domingaz while we're on the Yankees, goes back to the IL 540 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,440 with a left oh bleak after a check swing. So just another kind of 541 00:46:32,639 --> 00:46:36,719 if you were waiting on him and thinking he was coming up this week because 542 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,400 he's been hot pretty much since he got back from the IL. It's it's 543 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,400 gonna be a little bit longer and Garrett Cole should only have one more rehab 544 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:51,800 outing before he returns. Cody Potit is probably back to the bullpen or minors, 545 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,679 although he's done, you know, fairly admirable in his his four starts. 546 00:46:54,719 --> 00:47:00,440 Great, Yeah, yeah, I picked him up in one deep league 547 00:47:00,519 --> 00:47:04,559 for a spots start or two. But yeah, I think he's he's probably 548 00:47:04,599 --> 00:47:10,440 going back to long relief for the pan or something. Yeah, I assume 549 00:47:10,519 --> 00:47:15,760 he's not getting sent down just because he's been performing. We should have Garrett. 550 00:47:15,119 --> 00:47:23,119 Garrett Cole's return is actually another instance where people who have moved on to 551 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:30,559 fantasy football already when they when they drafted Garrett Cole and right before his injury 552 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:36,519 in February March, they immediately went to fantasy football. So those people, 553 00:47:36,679 --> 00:47:40,159 we should put out an app to get them back to the baseball. Gary 554 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:45,719 Cole's coming back, guys, probably he's probably coming back for how long was 555 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:52,559 Kyle Bradish back for with the Oreoles. That's That's kind of what with Garrett 556 00:47:52,599 --> 00:47:54,840 Cole. I'm kind of expecting, like, you know, him to look 557 00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:00,360 really good for like a month and then be like, oh, we uh 558 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:07,360 yeah, he just he just threw a quality start ten K game, and 559 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:13,320 then the next day you hear about how he's having uh, you know, 560 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:20,119 arm issues. I honestly, I'm I'm not anticipating Garrett Cole to be back 561 00:48:20,599 --> 00:48:24,400 and go from like, you know, Wednesday through the end of the season 562 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:30,960 without any sort of setbacks. I don't know, maybe maybe I'm cynical, 563 00:48:30,079 --> 00:48:36,519 but I'd be kind of surprised to see Garrett Cole return and be totally fine 564 00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:39,360 the rest of the year. Yeah, I mean, I guess I'll just 565 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:44,480 be the optimistic one and say, I think if he wasn't healthy, they 566 00:48:44,519 --> 00:48:47,599 wouldn't be bringing him back. I mean they there's so much money invested him, 567 00:48:47,639 --> 00:48:52,079 and not just money, but you know, their their ace, their 568 00:48:52,199 --> 00:48:58,280 their hopes and the playoffs, everything is tied to him. So I think 569 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,880 if there was something still wrong, they would and bring him back. But 570 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:06,360 you know, whenever there's an injury, re injury is always a little bit 571 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,159 easier than that first one. So we will wait and see you on Cole. 572 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,519 I mean, I think immediately, Gray, where would you have him 573 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:21,079 among starting pitchers, even with the fact that you don't think he's necessarily going 574 00:49:21,159 --> 00:49:27,199 to finish the season or at least not you know, without missing a little 575 00:49:27,199 --> 00:49:31,719 bit here or there, Like, would he be a top twenty five pitcher 576 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:37,679 for you? Still? Well, that's always that's always a tough call when 577 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:43,000 it comes to like ranking players for the rest of the year, because it's 578 00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:47,320 like Garret Cole, if he's healthy, he's a top twenty starter in my 579 00:49:47,519 --> 00:49:53,280 eyes. But the but that with that comes to caveat that he probably is 580 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:58,159 not going to make it the rest of the year healthy. So do you 581 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:04,920 take Garrett Cole being healthy right now? Or do you want you know, 582 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,519 I don't know, say Freddy Peralta, who's just been horrendous but as at 583 00:50:10,599 --> 00:50:16,239 least has no signs that he's you know, injured at least yet, right, 584 00:50:16,599 --> 00:50:20,559 I mean, I don't know, or okay, we'll say Louis Hill 585 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,599 just keep it with the Yankees. Do you take him or Gary Cole? 586 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:32,199 I mean with the caveat that Hill, heel is gonna be probably throttled down 587 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:37,440 and not be able to throw you know that many more innings. I don't 588 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:42,000 know. It's it's hard to say. I guess I'm just like hedging because 589 00:50:42,159 --> 00:50:45,000 I don't know how long Gary Cole is gonna pitch for. I would guess 590 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:52,400 under seventy five innings. So I don't know where we at. We're in 591 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,039 middle of June, so under seventy five innings isn't really that many. It's 592 00:50:57,079 --> 00:51:02,679 not that bad. Actually it's missing like stars. Maybe yeah, yeah, 593 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:08,400 I mean, I don't know, say Garrett Cole. I guess Garrett Cole 594 00:51:08,519 --> 00:51:14,599 to me is a top let's say, top thirty starter, right, now, 595 00:51:15,079 --> 00:51:20,599 you know, hopefully he stays healthy. I don't see. But the 596 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,960 thing is with him, like, I don't see why he wouldn't be a 597 00:51:23,079 --> 00:51:28,800 top ten or fifteen starter if he actually is healthy, right, I mean, 598 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,079 it's just that there's no hope that he stays healthy. I don't know, 599 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:36,960 It's it's a hard question. I don't know. Like I guess top 600 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:43,320 thirty ish for the rest of the season, you know, thinking like with 601 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:49,719 the uh, you know, with the actual you know, hedge slash caveat 602 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:54,280 that he may not stay healthy, So say top thirty with the you know, 603 00:51:54,440 --> 00:52:00,920 the the problem of his you know, potentially being injured again before the 604 00:52:00,039 --> 00:52:05,039 end of the year. Yeah, I think for me, I'm a little 605 00:52:05,079 --> 00:52:09,239 bit more optimistic just in regards to where he'll be even if he does only 606 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:14,360 throw seventy five innings. I feel like they're gonna be as good as anybody 607 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:20,159 else in regards to, you know, performance per inning, or at least 608 00:52:20,199 --> 00:52:23,400 they should be. Just looking through it. I think I had a hard 609 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:28,199 time not getting him in my top twenty and maybe even top fifteen. So 610 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,159 maybe I'm just a little bit more optimistic on him. But we'll wait and 611 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,119 see on that one. It's not like you can go out and pick him 612 00:52:35,199 --> 00:52:39,000 up, so strictly trade. I guess if we're talking here, if you're 613 00:52:39,039 --> 00:52:42,920 looking for it and it's really one where you're like you kind of need to 614 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,000 swing for the fences. I think like your pitching is kind of holding you 615 00:52:46,119 --> 00:52:52,280 back and you can't afford to move, you know, a huge bat for 616 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:58,639 an ace, but you can take the gamble on like a call. Let's 617 00:52:58,679 --> 00:53:01,760 move on to Milwaukee. Well, when Treres has going through concussion evaluation. 618 00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:07,480 If he misses, I assume Gary Sanchez is likely to fill in for him 619 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,639 for the most part while he's out. M h, yeah, I agreed. 620 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,840 Tampa Bay Shane Baz is expected back soon. I mean, let's let's 621 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,320 throw him in this discussion of injured pitchers. I assume you'd rather have cold 622 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:27,840 and Bass since Bas can't ever stay healthy. But where does where does Bas 623 00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:35,119 fall amongst pictures? I mean, is he top seventy give him the injury 624 00:53:35,199 --> 00:53:42,199 risk? Uh? Yeah, I mean I don't know, like after top 625 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:49,280 say, after top six fifty, Yeah, after top fifty, it's kind 626 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:53,440 of like then you're in like you know, matchups. Really like Baz to 627 00:53:53,599 --> 00:53:59,800 me is like, I mean he's he is a really good starter if he's 628 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,639 at actually healthy and with the rays, right, I mean, he is 629 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:08,239 as good as you know, maybe a top thirty starter if he's actually if 630 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:14,360 he's in, if he's in the majors and starting. The problem is like 631 00:54:14,559 --> 00:54:17,719 he can't stay healthy and you don't know how many innings you're gonna get, 632 00:54:19,199 --> 00:54:22,639 you know. I think I said to someone on the site that he looks 633 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:27,519 like about, you know, fifty innings this year for the rest of the 634 00:54:27,639 --> 00:54:32,920 season. So I mean that might be optimistic all things considered, but fifty 635 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:39,559 innings three and a half, a three, maybe a three point three earra 636 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,960 He usually has pretty good command. You know, his command has been a 637 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,519 little wonky and the miners this year, but that's simply you know, coming 638 00:54:49,599 --> 00:54:53,440 back from Tommy John surgery. You know, guys don't have command when they 639 00:54:53,519 --> 00:54:59,079 first come back from it, so that's expected. Yeah, I like, 640 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,760 I mean, I like him to pick him up off of waivers. Like 641 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:06,199 I think, you know, the difference with Garrett Cole. I think he 642 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:12,000 was probably already rostered in every league and he was being stashed on the il 643 00:55:12,599 --> 00:55:16,800 where Boz I think, you know, people have commented on Rasball talking about 644 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:22,280 picking him up, so he's available in some places. Would I would grab 645 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,599 him, I would stash him. I like him. I just think he's, 646 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:29,159 you know, unlikely to throw that many innings. Plus you have the 647 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:35,159 Rays who either do an opener or they you know, they pull guys after 648 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,239 four innings, So you know, I don't know. I like him, 649 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,039 though, I would grab him in any league just for the potential upside. 650 00:55:44,159 --> 00:55:50,360 I don't really see Garret Cole over him for sure. Going back to your 651 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:57,519 original question, Garrett Cole absolutely over Boz. But yeah, maybe top fifty 652 00:55:57,679 --> 00:56:04,440 to you know, top fifty to sixty overall starter for bons. Okay, 653 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,119 I mean that sounds that sounds right as long as he's healthy and then you 654 00:56:08,199 --> 00:56:13,280 know, you kind of adjust adjust from there depending on how it goes. 655 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,800 Yeah, I mean he's he's always been good when he's been healthy. Just 656 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,559 the backsittings he's ever thrown is eighty one. How can you expect him to 657 00:56:22,599 --> 00:56:28,480 really throw a ton? And especially coming back from major surgery, the first 658 00:56:28,519 --> 00:56:35,280 season back usually isn't quite as polished as as they are pre surgery. So 659 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,239 I'll probably be on in on him in twenty twenty five. He really, 660 00:56:38,559 --> 00:56:43,400 I mean really yeah, assuming he gets there with the healthy arm and the 661 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,960 healthy shoulder and everything he really has, Like I mean, this has been 662 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,880 I don't know what the rays are doing really with in regards to him, 663 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:58,159 because I mean, I guess they're waiting until he looks right. I'm assuming, 664 00:56:58,519 --> 00:57:01,840 you know, but like he's been gone for a while, he hasn't 665 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:08,320 like he he had Tommy John surgery in September of twenty twenty two, where 666 00:57:08,559 --> 00:57:14,599 you know, this is like what is it twenty twenty months later? Three 667 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,280 say, yeah, like almost, you know, it's been a while, 668 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:23,480 eighteen eighteen nineteen months later. It's been a long time. So I think 669 00:57:23,559 --> 00:57:30,639 he's probably ready as of right now. I don't know. I guess it 670 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:35,440 depends on two like where he goes in the like it went and shocked me 671 00:57:35,519 --> 00:57:38,360 to see the ray the rays have, you know, say, you know, 672 00:57:38,679 --> 00:57:42,679 he's coming up and going to be a long man out of the pen 673 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:50,000 and then throws like three to four innings, you know, once or twice 674 00:57:50,039 --> 00:57:52,559 a week, which you know kind of hurts his fantasy value too, So 675 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:59,400 we'll see. It depends on with Zach Liedel as well, because if he's 676 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,719 you know, he has He was awful on Friday in his start, So 677 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,719 I don't know how long he's gonna be in the rotation, but I'm assuming 678 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,800 he stays in the rotation, and if he does, then the Rays have 679 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,840 they have five guys in the rotation ready, So where does Boz go. 680 00:58:15,199 --> 00:58:20,840 That's why I'm saying, maybe he becomes a three to four inning guy out 681 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:24,519 of the bullpen, like he'll follow, you know, maybe he follows like 682 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:30,039 Sean Armstrong. You know, Sean Armstrong is an opener, and then he 683 00:58:30,239 --> 00:58:34,679 follows him, maybe for three to four innings. I don't know, that 684 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,880 could be two, yeah, or you can just kick Aeronsavalais bum ass to 685 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:45,679 the curb and throw him in the pen. Yes, I mean at their 686 00:58:45,719 --> 00:58:51,440 peaks, Bass is better than everybody in the rotation except for Efflyn maybe. 687 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,320 So I mean, he's just helped me and he's back, and they're ready 688 00:58:55,360 --> 00:59:00,800 to put him in the rotation. Like, I don't see why he wouldn't, 689 00:59:00,199 --> 00:59:05,440 you know, be put into the rotation. It feels really weird to 690 00:59:05,519 --> 00:59:08,000 have him build up the six innings, and that seems like why he was 691 00:59:08,079 --> 00:59:12,800 down the minors for so long was to get him built up to the point 692 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,039 he could throw enough pitches. It feels weird to get him to that point 693 00:59:16,039 --> 00:59:21,599 and throw him in the in a long reliever weird role. They could definitely 694 00:59:21,599 --> 00:59:24,280 go six pitchers, I mean with starters. We've seen them do that driving 695 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:30,880 time again. So I do wonder if ultimately his career ends up in the 696 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:35,599 pen, just based off the injuries. But seems for now he's I would 697 00:59:35,639 --> 00:59:38,760 guess for now he's still gonna start. But we'll wait and see. Grab 698 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,159 him while you can, though, and see what happens. I mean, 699 00:59:42,199 --> 00:59:45,559 I think the upside is worth it. M let's move over to Baltimore. 700 00:59:45,559 --> 00:59:49,920 You already mentioned Kyle Brash, who was going back to the IL with right 701 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,199 elbow discomfort after dealing with a UCL spraying earlier this year. Looks like Caid 702 00:59:54,320 --> 01:00:00,320 Povich is likely to keep his spot in the rotation. Nick Vestier's re called 703 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,199 in the IL move for British, but I think that's really more of a 704 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,039 long pin type of move than a rotation. I think Povich is just taking 705 01:00:08,679 --> 01:00:15,280 the spot there. Anything on Kate Povich or I mean Bradish, I don't 706 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:21,360 know what when were Yeah, you know, I think with Povish, I 707 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:28,440 well, al only obviously for anyone, anyone who's in a rotation. But 708 01:00:29,159 --> 01:00:35,639 I don't see him really being anything outside of possibly a streamer in a mixed 709 01:00:35,719 --> 01:00:38,920 league if he gets a good matchup. Otherwise I want to go near Povish. 710 01:00:39,559 --> 01:00:45,159 I think the bradish injury is probably the biggest, you know, the 711 01:00:45,679 --> 01:00:52,480 the The thing that bradish is injury tells me is like, sell Santander for 712 01:00:52,599 --> 01:01:00,800 an arm, like yesterday, Send Santander to another team for any arm you 713 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,000 can get, like I don't know, I don't know what that means. 714 01:01:04,119 --> 01:01:09,280 If that means you know, a Marlin pitcher or I don't know who that 715 01:01:09,679 --> 01:01:15,159 is, but send Santander somewhere for an arm, and then you know, 716 01:01:15,159 --> 01:01:20,199 play Kobe Mayo or something. I don't know. But Povich is not the 717 01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,039 answer, in fantasy or in reality. I don't. I don't think. 718 01:01:24,079 --> 01:01:30,760 At least I think in reality he's got a better shot than in fantasy. 719 01:01:30,039 --> 01:01:36,239 I wouldn't go near him in fantasy. Yeah, I mean it's he's he 720 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:40,320 just hasn't shown any kind of consistency. He had a good start his last 721 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:45,599 time out where he went against Atlanta and didn't walk anybody, had six strikeouts, 722 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:51,960 no earned but the previous start he had four walks with two strikeouts and 723 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,920 gave up six earn in five and a third at Toronto, So just really 724 01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:00,679 hard to trust him for any kind of consistency outside of deeper leagues where you 725 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:06,760 just have to start anybody that's getting kind of innings. While we're on baltimore'll 726 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,280 just Benson and Jackson. Holiday is having the right elbow information and looks like 727 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:14,519 he's heading to the IL in TRIPAA. Not supposed to be serious, but 728 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:20,639 again just updating the minor league top prospect status. As we're moving through here. 729 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,199 Philadelphia, Trey Turner is returning. Edmund SUSA has been filling in. 730 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:29,519 He's actually been doing all right, but it looks like he's probably heading to 731 01:02:29,679 --> 01:02:32,519 the bench or maybe he gets to platoon in the outfield or some kind of 732 01:02:32,639 --> 01:02:39,119 utility infield rule because he has been actually doing all right. Given that we're 733 01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:43,760 about to be here at the second half season, second half mark at least 734 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:49,239 in regards to the actual split of the season, not necessarily all Star break, 735 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:54,599 But where would you fit Tray and rest of season Gray, assuming he's 736 01:02:54,679 --> 01:03:00,119 healthy, I would probably say top twenty overall. Okay, So I mean 737 01:03:00,159 --> 01:03:07,000 you're you're pretty optimistic on him then not not too worried about the return of 738 01:03:07,039 --> 01:03:10,360 the injury, or you know obviously what we saw at the beginning of last 739 01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:15,880 season. No, I mean he was you know, yeah, I mean 740 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:21,840 the beginning of last season wasn't good. But I mean this season, prior 741 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,679 to the injury, he was hitting three forty three with ten steals, and 742 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,440 that was in thirty three games, So yeah, I mean, I don't 743 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:34,239 know. I mean, obviously that was with a high babbitt. He's not 744 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,719 a three forty three hitter. He's probably closer to it a two ninety hitter, 745 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,480 but still, you know, two ninety the rest of the way to 746 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:50,679 ninety twenty steals, seven to twelve homers, maybe ten homers. Yeah, 747 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,760 I mean that's that's fine. That's top for at the top of a good 748 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:59,760 lineup, hitting second in a good lineup. Yeah, I mean, he's 749 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:04,039 probably for me, he's like top twenty ish. All right. Would you 750 01:04:04,159 --> 01:04:11,159 rather have him or Brycetond stop? Oh, Tray Turner? Absolutely, it's 751 01:04:11,199 --> 01:04:16,800 not close, all right, him or Jazz? Uh? I would go 752 01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:24,519 trade Turner over Jazz, all right? How about Trey or tay Oscar I 753 01:04:24,599 --> 01:04:28,719 know it's kind of power versus speed, but yeah, Apple's oranges. But 754 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,840 still I would go trade Turner. Okay, so pretty much staking him back 755 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,599 where he was preseason, then yeah, more or less a little bit, 756 01:04:35,719 --> 01:04:40,559 maybe ten spots down from where I had him in the preseason, but you 757 01:04:40,639 --> 01:04:44,159 know close, Okay. Yeah, I mean there's just a little bit of 758 01:04:44,559 --> 01:04:46,800 risk coming back from an injury. But I mean, as you mentioned, 759 01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:53,519 the numbers were a great pre injury. You know, if you're expecting the 760 01:04:53,599 --> 01:04:56,800 power of a few years to come back, I don't know if they think 761 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,519 we're coming that. But he'll give you the average, He'll give you speed 762 01:05:00,039 --> 01:05:03,119 and then the county numbers that comes with that. Let's move over to Houston, 763 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:13,840 the long, long, overdue Joey or jose A braw experiment. Houston 764 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,880 is over. Great, we can finally be done with that. Not necessarily 765 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:23,199 our player spent for a bray you, but Joey Alperfdo is coming back as 766 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:28,199 well. Where are you at on Lowperfido where he's coming back? I believe 767 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,400 Thursday this week? What are you thinking in regards to picking him up? 768 01:05:31,519 --> 01:05:38,960 What is this a pick up across every league or what are you thinking Uh. 769 01:05:39,119 --> 01:05:44,480 Yeah, So Dana Brown the Astros GM said Lipraffdo was coming back on 770 01:05:45,519 --> 01:05:48,599 you know the twenty first or whatever when he when he's able to come back 771 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:54,320 after getting sent down. Uh and uh, I would grab him in just 772 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:58,480 about any league. I mean outside maybe you know, a ten team mixed 773 01:05:58,559 --> 01:06:01,679 league, you have other options, but like Lil Breveto, I grabbed him 774 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:06,760 in a twelve team mix league. I would grab him in just about any 775 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:13,920 twelve team mix league or deeper. So I actually grabbed him last week in 776 01:06:14,039 --> 01:06:18,159 a fifteen team mix league and I held on to him. So yeah, 777 01:06:18,239 --> 01:06:23,719 I like him. You know, he's he's killing it in the minor leagues. 778 01:06:24,719 --> 01:06:29,960 He's you know, thirteen homers, nine steals, hitting two, hitting 779 01:06:30,039 --> 01:06:34,320 two seventy six with a you know, a little bit high on the strikeouts, 780 01:06:35,159 --> 01:06:38,800 and when he was up in the majors, he was a little bit 781 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:42,320 high on the strikeouts. So that's a little bit of a concern. But 782 01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,159 you know, he's got power and speed. I would I mean, unless 783 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:53,119 you're like really stacked at your hitting in your lineups, in your fantasy team 784 01:06:53,199 --> 01:06:58,280 lineups, I think he's probably got room in just about any team just to 785 01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:02,079 see, like you know how gets how he's played. I think, you 786 01:07:02,159 --> 01:07:06,920 know, the issue with John Singleton at first base. He for the Astros, 787 01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:14,119 I mean he has he has been hitting well enough where the Astros may 788 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:20,440 want to continue using him. Tucker right now. Tucker's out still as of 789 01:07:20,599 --> 01:07:27,199 right now, but he's probably due back, you know, by he might 790 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:31,519 come back by the same time as luperfdo. So you know, Tucker comes 791 01:07:31,599 --> 01:07:38,000 back, that clogs up the outfield a little bit. But yeah, I 792 01:07:38,079 --> 01:07:44,239 think Luperfedo could find at bats either you know, either where Dubon is playing 793 01:07:44,559 --> 01:07:48,320 or Singleton is playing. And then yeah, I mean any at bats is 794 01:07:49,119 --> 01:07:54,920 for if you're in a daily league, especially like if you can put him 795 01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:59,039 in and out of your lineup. But in a weekly league it might become 796 01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:01,679 a little bit more difficult because little Braffito is you know, he might put 797 01:08:01,719 --> 01:08:04,920 tu in a bit. But I like him. I would grab him, 798 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:11,559 Yeah, I would. I would imagine even once Tucker's back, He's gonna 799 01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:15,880 be on the strong side of Watoon At worst, you would think because Dubon 800 01:08:17,199 --> 01:08:24,359 Jake buyers like they don't need to necessarily start every day. Tray Cabbage, 801 01:08:25,319 --> 01:08:29,159 who's just Trey Cabbage is filling in for Tucker. He's gonna get sent down. 802 01:08:29,279 --> 01:08:32,760 But you know, maybe somebody could slide over and fill in for John 803 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:38,520 Singleton if he struggles. But I don't think lit Braffito's ever played first base, 804 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:44,079 so that I think that's going to require some so movement from the the 805 01:08:44,199 --> 01:08:47,000 rest of the team to make that happen. So you see what happens with 806 01:08:47,239 --> 01:08:51,039 you named. If you were named Tray Cabbage, would you change your name? 807 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,039 I would feel like it's like, since I turned eighteen, I'd be 808 01:08:57,199 --> 01:09:00,359 like, you know what, I'm not going to be Tray Cabbage. More 809 01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:06,960 people saying your name is Trey Cabbage. Yeah, you know what, I'm 810 01:09:08,079 --> 01:09:13,119 changing it soon as I turn eighteen. Goodbye, goodbye Cabbage. Changing my 811 01:09:13,239 --> 01:09:21,560 name to Kimchi? What changing my name to Trey Kemchi? Up for mening 812 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:28,119 my name? Okay? Anyway, all right, Greg Pittsburgh, Henry Davis 813 01:09:28,119 --> 01:09:32,039 is going to seven I L for concussion. He has many Gondal and Jason 814 01:09:32,119 --> 01:09:36,000 Delay gonna fill in there. I don't think there's really anything to comment on 815 01:09:36,279 --> 01:09:42,039 for that, just a little bit of news. Teas Texas, Max Surezer, 816 01:09:42,279 --> 01:09:45,600 Josh Young, Josh bor Is all on their way back, Schurezer comes 817 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:50,600 back. Who's losing their starting the spot in Texas Gray, I don't know, 818 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:56,880 I get I guess Dunning probably, I mean, even though I hate 819 01:09:57,039 --> 01:10:00,119 Andrew, Hey, I think I think the Rangers probably keep playing them. 820 01:10:00,199 --> 01:10:09,640 But yeah, probably Dunning or maybe Lorenz I don't know. Maybe he goes 821 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:13,880 to the he becomes a long man. Maybe I don't know. It's it's 822 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:19,239 not great either whoever is there unless you're in an al only or a streamer. 823 01:10:19,359 --> 01:10:24,560 I mean, Lorenz is he's been decent, I guess for streaming options. 824 01:10:25,239 --> 01:10:29,640 But yeah, I guess Dunning loses the job. I would assume, 825 01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:33,039 But that's I mean Sureser. I mean, you know, I like, 826 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:39,680 you know, I like Sureser as a player. He's fun to watch, 827 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:44,119 but you're like, I mean, if you're expecting much out of Sureser, 828 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,159 I would actually if I was the Rangers, i'd probably trade him because it 829 01:10:48,199 --> 01:10:53,560 looks like the Rangers are are not going to repeat, right, So I 830 01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:59,880 would probably be trading Schurzer to a playoff team if anything. But anyway, 831 01:11:00,119 --> 01:11:03,359 I don't know what's gonna happen there, But yeah, I don't have much 832 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:08,800 hope for Sureser and I have less hope for a day and Dan Dunning, 833 01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:15,760 so I guess him that's uh, that's fair. Would you rather have Let's 834 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:21,399 see, I'm trying to think of anybody that would go go okay versus Shureser 835 01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:28,720 here that really would would Jacob for grum So Grom or sures Are. I 836 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,039 guess Sure's are there. I mean you're gonna go bas over over Sure's a 837 01:11:32,199 --> 01:11:38,479 right? Yeah, yeah, I'd take baths over sures Honestly, what's what 838 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:49,239 sures Are's over under for innings this year? Thirty five? Maybe are you 839 01:11:50,119 --> 01:11:54,439 thinking the are you taking the over there? I think I would take the 840 01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:58,680 over if you're gonna give me thirty five, just because it's sures Are, 841 01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,319 Like, I feel like if he can pay, he's gonna pitch. Yeah. 842 01:12:01,399 --> 01:12:05,560 Maybe maybe I'm being too harsh. I don't know. Maybe maybe suures 843 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:10,680 Are can he put up one hundred and fifty innings last year, It's not 844 01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:15,720 like he's been throwing sixty innings for the last six years. Yeah, mass, 845 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,399 yeah, no, that's fair. Yeah, okay, yeah, I'll 846 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:21,760 say you know you've convinced me. Yeah, I'll say sures Are probably over 847 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:28,960 unders are probably closer to sixty sixty innings is probably over under. Yeah, 848 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,439 I think I think that's probably about right. And also some some load management 849 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:39,520 from from Texas is if they can win some games and stay in the hunt, 850 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:45,319 just because you know, that's he was brought in for a specific purpose 851 01:12:45,399 --> 01:12:50,359 and regular season one wasn't necessarily what that was, right, And he has 852 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:55,359 I mean he has yeah, like you mentioned, I mean he hasn't pitched 853 01:12:55,399 --> 01:13:00,279 well even as he's gotten older. Uh you knows, he assuming he's healthy, 854 01:13:00,359 --> 01:13:06,279 he has been okay, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Josh Young when 855 01:13:06,319 --> 01:13:10,960 he comes back, I assume Josh Smith is probably gonna lose some playing time 856 01:13:11,079 --> 01:13:15,760 or maybe he moves to d H T. Baris Duran could split some time 857 01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:21,399 in center field potentially. But Josh Young in particular, where would you have 858 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:27,119 him kind of rest of season at the corner there? At third base? 859 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:34,800 Would he be a top twelve third baseman? Mm, I don't know about 860 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:40,159 that. I mean third base is kind of ugly. It's yeah, that's 861 01:13:40,199 --> 01:13:45,880 been a very underperforming position this year. Yeah, for the last like five 862 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,720 years. Yeah, that's I mean that's fair. It is not a great 863 01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:55,199 position. Josh Smith is currently seventeenth actually, so if that gives you a 864 01:13:55,399 --> 01:14:01,479 frame of reference, right yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe maybe top fifteen 865 01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:10,680 Josh Young or Heimer Condelaria, who is the fifteenth third baseman. I guess 866 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:16,239 I would go I guess i'd go Josh Jung there, but barely. Yeah, 867 01:14:16,319 --> 01:14:20,039 I'd agree, i'd go Young, But I think it's more like us 868 01:14:20,119 --> 01:14:25,760 hoping, yeah he does something, because like what's the the upside is basically 869 01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,000 with a little bit more power, Like maybe he'll hit a little bit more 870 01:14:30,039 --> 01:14:34,680 power from Young, but like he's basically Candelario, Like that's what we're we 871 01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:40,319 would expect from him the rest of season coming off of an injury, Like 872 01:14:41,239 --> 01:14:44,239 that's that's kind of what it looks like, right, Yeah. God, 873 01:14:44,319 --> 01:14:48,600 I forgot how what a hot start he was having before he got injured. 874 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:53,640 I mean it was only four games, but he hit two homers, stole 875 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:58,319 base and was hitting four twelve Man, that would have been uh, that 876 01:14:58,359 --> 01:15:02,359 would have been nice if that was the breakout. Yeah, I don't know. 877 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:06,560 Josh Jung. Unfortunately, he's like he can barely he can. He 878 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:12,439 never stays healthy. Man. Yeah, I don't know. I like Josh 879 01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:15,239 Jung though, I guess you know, it's a wing and a prayer. 880 01:15:15,359 --> 01:15:23,079 But I would take Jung probably over Heimer Candelaria. I think the maybe the 881 01:15:23,359 --> 01:15:30,319 argument against Candelario would be, as the Reds lineup is becoming healthy, does 882 01:15:30,399 --> 01:15:35,039 he maybe lose some at bats, which kind of makes the injury risk with 883 01:15:35,239 --> 01:15:41,119 Jung even at least in my mind, that's the argument. But I think 884 01:15:41,199 --> 01:15:45,640 I'd go Candelario again, just injury risk, and I mean, you get 885 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,000 him, you get him right now. He can still play. He's been 886 01:15:47,079 --> 01:15:53,840 hitting like third or fourth most days for the Reds, so it just feels 887 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:59,640 like a safer bet. But I could definitely see Jung just coming back and 888 01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:03,399 being like he was a start season. Yeah, all right, Gray, 889 01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:10,000 let's talk about a couple of I guess call up kind of is maybe the 890 01:16:10,039 --> 01:16:13,079 wrong word, but like, you know, they're they're getting their shot. 891 01:16:13,199 --> 01:16:18,760 DJ Hers he had a start on Saturday, I believe it was versus Miami, 892 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:24,319 where he had went six innings, thirteen strikeouts, one hit, no 893 01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:30,319 earned. Is is this somebody that we should have our you know, our 894 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:34,359 eyes out for and be picking up or was this just one good start from 895 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:41,560 from Hers? And uh, you know, it's the Nationals and maybe there's 896 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,239 there's not a ton of upside here, But what do you what are you 897 01:16:44,399 --> 01:16:49,680 thinking? Ray well with hers he had I believe it was the second best 898 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:57,720 start of the year according to the the rasball Top one hundred Starts tool, 899 01:16:58,039 --> 01:17:02,359 it was. It was a really good start on Saturday. He was he 900 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:08,079 looked excellent. I you know, I don't know really other than the change 901 01:17:08,159 --> 01:17:13,880 up. Like it's funny because like you look at his numbers and he's kind 902 01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:19,239 of like a change up first pitcher, and that sort of gets relegated to 903 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:27,159 like the old like you know, eh whatever kind of for fantasy at least, 904 01:17:27,359 --> 01:17:32,279 it's like cal Hendrick. Yeah, Like if it's not an overpowering fastball, 905 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,720 if it's not Cole Reagan's, then it's like, oh, you know, 906 01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:43,319 yeah, he's got a good change up. Big whoop. Now it 907 01:17:43,399 --> 01:17:48,439 depends on how you know, competitive your fantasy league is, because if he 908 01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:55,199 throws well in Cours this week, he's gonna be like, he's gonna be 909 01:17:55,239 --> 01:17:58,960 snatched up in every lege. Like he's gonna absolutely be like one of the 910 01:17:59,079 --> 01:18:03,199 top pickups right now, because no one really believes in him. You know, 911 01:18:03,359 --> 01:18:08,720 he was coming. He probably is, like you know, an afterthought, 912 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,920 even though he pitched really well on Saturday. I don't think people were 913 01:18:13,079 --> 01:18:16,399 really that excited about him because you know, of the reason I said, 914 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:20,920 with the change up versus the big fastball. So like, if he pitches 915 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:25,760 well though this week, in course, he's gonna be really like I mean, 916 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,319 people are gonna be clamoring. They're gonna be doing a clambor. You 917 01:18:29,399 --> 01:18:33,119 know what I'm saying. Clamor sounds like a word from the twenties, Hey, 918 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:40,439 the nineteen twenties. That is so anyway, I would grab him in 919 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:44,560 like, you know, deeper leagues right now, just to see if he 920 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,760 does well in cores, because if he does well in cores, you're not 921 01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:51,399 gonna be able to get him again. So you know, I would grab 922 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:58,800 him in anticipation, but I don't know if I necessarily start him in course 923 01:18:59,119 --> 01:19:05,079 in shallower mixed leagues, yeah, I don't think you're starting most pictures and 924 01:19:05,159 --> 01:19:09,520 cores if you can avoid it, even even as bad as that offense is. 925 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:15,279 But yeah, DJ Hers, It's it's interesting because he's had a high 926 01:19:15,359 --> 01:19:17,119 k rate in the minors for being a change up guy, which, as 927 01:19:17,199 --> 01:19:24,359 you mentioned, isn't traditionally a high strikeout type of picture, but also the 928 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:29,399 walks have been really high as well. He's controlled it so far, and 929 01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:34,960 his few starts that he's had the majors. But I would I would probably 930 01:19:35,079 --> 01:19:39,319 wait and see on this one. This feels like, uh, you know, 931 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,920 he was locked in for a start. Good for him. I don't 932 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,640 believe it's going to continue. And that's that's kind of the realm. I'm 933 01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,319 throwing them in. Carson Spears is going to get a shot into the reds 934 01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:55,239 rotation. He was part of the fab pickups of this last week, which 935 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,760 the spot of the injuries kind of felt light because there wasn't a whole lot 936 01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:03,000 of turnover in those injuries and a lot of the replacements were either useless or 937 01:20:03,319 --> 01:20:09,000 owned. Is this somebody who might be, you know, somebody that you're 938 01:20:09,079 --> 01:20:13,840 looking at picking up a little bit in Carson Spears forty six and two thirds 939 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:15,840 of Triple A this year. He is a two five one year, a 940 01:20:15,359 --> 01:20:18,840 one to five whip, twenty five and a half p k, seven point 941 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:24,239 eight percent walk rate. Where you at and Carson Spears the rents, Yeah, 942 01:20:24,279 --> 01:20:27,600 I'm I'm probably I don't know. I might end up looking like an 943 01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,399 idiot for saying this because he's going to have a two start week this week. 944 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:35,520 But I was nowhere near adding him in FAB this week. I was. 945 01:20:36,239 --> 01:20:40,800 I wouldn't I wouldn't have added him. But you know, some people 946 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:45,239 obviously have you know, they they want the two start pitcher no matter what. 947 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:50,239 So you know they they they added him. I would have. I 948 01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:54,119 I did not even bet on him. I don't want to. I don't 949 01:20:54,119 --> 01:20:57,520 want to have anything to do with him. You know. With that said, 950 01:20:58,199 --> 01:21:01,720 he pitches well in his two starts this week, he might start getting 951 01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:06,239 on, you know, might start moving up people's radars. But yeah, 952 01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:11,600 I don't know. His stuff looks really kind of black, like he's got 953 01:21:12,279 --> 01:21:15,119 he's got a bunch of pitches. I think he's got like four or five 954 01:21:15,239 --> 01:21:18,439 pitches, but it's like, you know, he's got like a pretty black 955 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:25,119 fastball. I think it's like a ninety ninety three mile per hour. He's 956 01:21:25,199 --> 01:21:30,039 mostly you know, he's mostly slider cutter. And his command isn't really that 957 01:21:30,159 --> 01:21:34,319 good either. Uh it has been this year so far, but in the 958 01:21:34,399 --> 01:21:39,039 past it hasn't been great. So yeah, I don't know. And a 959 01:21:39,239 --> 01:21:43,960 bad ballpark in uh in Sincy. I'm not Yeah, I'm probably not messing 960 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:48,000 with spears in outside of you know n now only, which is you know 961 01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:53,520 obvious. Yeah, I'm I'm with you, Gray. I just think you 962 01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,720 you'll leave this one alone, and I don't think the upside is worth it. 963 01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,760 He's not a high K guy Toraditionally, he's had a couple of stops 964 01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,600 where he's done it, but that's been either limited sample size or like he 965 01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:10,359 did it double A last year, but that was after reaching triple A and 966 01:22:10,399 --> 01:22:14,960 then getting sent back down, So like that just seems less impressive as if 967 01:22:15,039 --> 01:22:19,159 you've you know, if you go back a level and dominate. So I 968 01:22:19,199 --> 01:22:23,760 would agree it's not really somebody we're looking at here. Let's go on ahead 969 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:27,680 and move to the bullpen. Gray. As we are coming up on I 970 01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,079 think we're already passing an hour. So in Toronto, that's really the only 971 01:22:30,199 --> 01:22:33,520 news of the week. Jimmy Garcia is dealing with some right elbow soreness. 972 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,359 Who are you looking at to replace him? If he's got to go on 973 01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:42,840 the IL I think Chad Green is the guy. I think the uh yeah, 974 01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,640 I think for now the the Jays. John Schneider, Jay's manager said 975 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:53,399 Chad Green, So yeah, I would go him and you know, see 976 01:22:53,399 --> 01:22:56,319 where that goes. He's been good though so far this year, or so 977 01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:00,079 hopefully he stays good in the ninth inning. Yeah, I can see tim 978 01:23:00,119 --> 01:23:05,520 Mesa giving a chance if it's a lefty heavy ninth. He's been good lately. 979 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:10,079 But I would agree it's Chad Green. If you're going to grab anybody, 980 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:15,680 give give the people some wave of wire bats Gray. Okay, So 981 01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:23,119 let's see Tyler soda Strum Oakland, A's first baseman. Also, I think 982 01:23:23,159 --> 01:23:27,279 he has catch your eligibility in some leagues. He's been he's been crazy hot, 983 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,119 probably one of the hottest spots in the majors right now. You know, 984 01:23:31,239 --> 01:23:38,880 people were asking about him versus like David Frye, who was a hot 985 01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:43,600 pick up a couple of weeks ago. And uh, yeah, moving on, 986 01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:47,359 we're moving on from David Frye. This is us moving man, We're 987 01:23:47,399 --> 01:23:51,760 on, We're on the roll. Uh. Carlos Correa has been crazy hot. 988 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,920 I think he's probably rostered in most leagues. I'm not sure, but 989 01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,039 in at least twelve team mixed leagues and deeper and they Korea has probably been 990 01:24:00,159 --> 01:24:03,159 rostered. And if he and if he's not, then he's been, you 991 01:24:03,239 --> 01:24:09,640 know, crazy hot as well. Carlos Santana. You know, he he 992 01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:13,960 had a good Sunday. I think he hit a homer. I think even 993 01:24:14,039 --> 01:24:16,239 stole a base. Uh so he had a good Sunday. He's had a 994 01:24:16,279 --> 01:24:24,960 good week though. He's been hot. Jackson Merril, first time he's hit 995 01:24:25,119 --> 01:24:30,960 since the South Korea Series. Now I'm kidding, but he hasn't been great 996 01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,319 outside of the South Korea Series, but he was great this past week. 997 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:40,720 So yeah, he's been hot. Jose Trevino, Yankees catcher. I don't 998 01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:45,159 know why he's not just catching every day, but I think they're platooning him 999 01:24:45,239 --> 01:24:50,239 and Austin Wells still. Anyway, Trevino has been hot. Willie Castro has 1000 01:24:50,279 --> 01:24:55,039 been hot. Actually, everyone on the Twins has been hot for the last 1001 01:24:55,119 --> 01:25:02,560 week. Austin Slater Giants outfielder, he's been hot, Joey Menez Nationals DH 1002 01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:09,760 been hot, and then Hunter Goodman actually has been kind of hot. Rockies 1003 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:15,359 outfielder. I think he hit two homers the other day. And then let's 1004 01:25:15,359 --> 01:25:20,239 see, Nolan Chanelle has also been a little bit hot recently. Angels first 1005 01:25:20,319 --> 01:25:28,720 baseman hitting lead off against Ridies. Yeah, all right, over to some 1006 01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:34,560 streaming options for pitching. Miles Beichles has gotten it together after a horrific start 1007 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:40,119 to the season. He's versus San Francisco. Tobias Myers is a two starter 1008 01:25:40,279 --> 01:25:45,920 at the Angels and at San Diego. Kyle Gibson at Miami and maybe versus 1009 01:25:45,039 --> 01:25:49,560 San Francisco instead. I don't He's on the brevent, so it depends on 1010 01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:54,199 when he comes back, whether he gets at Miami versus San Francisco. Either 1011 01:25:54,239 --> 01:25:57,760 way of the weekly, you could start him because not scared about either of 1012 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,680 those matchups. Jamis and Tia versus the Mets. Hogan Harris gets two starts 1013 01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:08,680 versus Kansas City and versus Minnesota. Logan Allen versus Seattle. If Cody Potit 1014 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:12,960 stays in the rotation, I believe he's going versus Baltimore. They could leave 1015 01:26:13,039 --> 01:26:15,760 him in as they have six starts this week and then kind of kick him 1016 01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:19,920 out next week. Trevor Rodgers versus Seattle, Dane Dunning versus Kansas City if 1017 01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:26,119 he stays in the rotation, Ryan Nelson at Washington and Gray's favorite, Andrew 1018 01:26:26,159 --> 01:26:30,560 Heany at the Mets. He's been solid all year. Gray, it's stop 1019 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:36,079 been It's not been like anything fun like you know, he's been Andrew heany 1020 01:26:36,159 --> 01:26:45,399 in his way through it. I have Andrew Heeny t post Andrew Heeny stress 1021 01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:49,399 disorder. I can't. I can't go near Andrew Haiti. But you know, 1022 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:53,520 good luck to you if you do. Hey, you know, if 1023 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:57,520 you're in those leagues where he's out there and that's the best option you got. 1024 01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,079 I do think you can do worse than him. Going versus the Mets 1025 01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:04,520 seems like the right place there. But if you know that's my if that's 1026 01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,560 the one matchup in the week that get that gets lit up, so be 1027 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:14,560 it. Gray. That's what he wants you to think. That's what they're 1028 01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:18,760 plotting behind us.
