00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.119
What's up everybody? This has joined
the Ranks Your Dynasty Rankings podcast, presented

2
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:39.240
by the Dynasty Guru. I am
Taylor Case, your neighborhood Dynasty dad,

3
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.920
I believe is what I call myself, and I'm here with a couple awesome

4
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:48.880
dudes today. I am here with
Joe Guarino, as always our Dynasty philosophizes,

5
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.799
or the man with the plan,
the plan to beat me in the

6
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.960
sleeper draft we're having today. And
I am also here with Chris Knock,

7
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.960
one of our newer writers here at
TDG, who's doing all sorts of stuff

8
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.119
right now. I've been doing some
great stuff on Twitter. I've been doing

9
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.719
a lot of rankings, and I
believe was doing some prospect rankings as well.

10
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.319
I'm really excited for the draft today. Let everybody know about some sleepers.

11
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.760
If you believe that there are still
sleepers. I hear that there's commentary

12
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.799
that you know, sleepers are not
a thing anymore. I think there are

13
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.480
a few out there, so we're
gonna get after it. Guys. How

14
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.200
you doing, Chris, how you
been man? I am well, thank

15
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.400
you for letting me on the show. Thanks for being here, man.

16
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.719
I know you have you have kids, which makes it hard to you know,

17
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.239
it makes it tough to plan even
an hour of alone time sometimes.

18
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:44.159
So I appreciate you. Appreciate you
being here, of course. Joe.

19
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.560
How you doing, man, I'm
doing well. Just I've been watching a

20
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.319
lot of March Madness and that's been
consuming a good bit of my time.

21
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.359
Fun fact, I have watched his
zero minutes of Street training games so far.

22
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.879
I've watched no baseball. I've watched
highlights, gone back and watched like

23
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.480
indense games and stuff. I know, but I have not. I just

24
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.960
for some reason this year, I'm
just like not super excited about spring training.

25
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.800
I'm like really excited for the beginning
of this season. But I don't

26
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.919
know. It's just maybe it's because
I have like zero faith in the Angels

27
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.439
and like most of the spring training
I've watched is like the Angels. I

28
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.879
would say, I rarely go out
and like watch other teams, but I've

29
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.680
just been really into March Madness and
I think that's kind of been what's consuming

30
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.879
my time. But gotcha, Yeah, I'll get around too. I hadn't

31
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.800
watched Yeah, you, I'm sure
we'll get closer and it'll pique your interest.

32
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.919
A little bit. I haven't watched
too much either, not more than

33
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.759
a couple of hours. I did
watch Mackenzie Gore Pitz the other day,

34
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.000
but I'm that's surprised. Actually,
you know what that doesn't really surprise.

35
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.319
I mean we've talked about before.
The way the negotiations went over the last

36
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.639
couple of months is it's kind of
a weird. It's kind of a weird

37
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.479
taste in my mouth. Yeah,
just like MLB in general. So it's

38
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.560
it's kind of a kind of a
weird, weird thing right now, weird

39
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:04.039
relationship I have with the sport or
with with MLB, not not baseball necessarily,

40
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.479
but with MLB. Yeah. Agree, I was, um, you

41
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.680
know, I was just telling someone
the other day who had they had no

42
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.439
idea about like the lockout or like
what went down and stuff, and you

43
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.960
know this is just really yeah.
I mean it was my hairstylist, So

44
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.960
I don't think she was. I
mean we were talking. She was she's

45
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.439
a big football fan and like basketball
fan, but um, I was just

46
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.479
telling her about baseball and stuff and
um, the lockout because she was interested

47
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.360
in, you know, having to
explain it to someone. It was like

48
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.960
an outside you know, outside observer
of the sport. I guess um it

49
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.080
was really interesting because like, you
know, for them, it's extremely easy

50
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.120
to just like hear that kind of
stuff and be like, oh, well,

51
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.719
I'm just not going to get into
baseball and right now. It just

52
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.520
makes you think, like, you
know, what is this going to do

53
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.800
to maybe not the people who like
baseball, because we'll come back, I

54
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.719
mean some For some people it's like, you know, not necessarily our jobs,

55
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.319
but like our like you know,
thing we do in our pastime.

56
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.360
But I don't know, it's interesting
to you know, see and hear from

57
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:09.039
people who don't necessarily follow the sport
on an everyday basis and maybe aren't like

58
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.560
attitude into the economics of professional sports
and entertainment. Yeah, it makes you

59
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.160
kind of wonder like how important like
things are way more important or they seem

60
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.839
way bigger or important and kind of
like the baseball Twitter sphere, but really

61
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:29.519
like there are millions of people people
who just don't give a shit. So

62
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.199
um about you, Chris, you've
been watching any spring training? You know,

63
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:41.759
I have been consuming baseball in my
full fantasy fashion that I've you know,

64
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.040
watching MOV Network in the mornings.
I haven't watched any game, but

65
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.040
as much digitally as possible when I
can. I've been also you've mentioned the

66
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.800
kids. I've also been remodeling my
base, so there's a couple of things

67
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.720
pulling my attention as well. No
other sports, but holy cow, yeah,

68
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.399
yeah, it's a lot of fun. That's an undertaking man. Any

69
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.959
sort of remodeling. Yeah, that's
work. It's a it's a blasts.

70
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.399
It was a hobby and now it's
more of a come on, let's get

71
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.600
it together, Chris. Let's get
this basic like a third job. It's

72
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.680
all right, I got I hear
you. I've got five or six projects

73
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.399
like that, and it's kind of
littered around, littered around the house,

74
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.839
constantly working on and slowly getting to
the end. So I get it.

75
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.199
Are there any any I know?
I want the focus of this podcast to

76
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:41.360
be this the you know, the
sleeper draft. Here and for all of

77
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.839
you who didn't tune in last season, we do this quote unquote sleeper draft.

78
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.079
Last year we did everybody or anybody
who had an ad P below three

79
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:54.519
hundred on the NFBC website. I
think, starting from the beginning of the

80
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.319
year until now, catch your first
second, all the way through, a

81
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.199
couple outfit fielders, a couple starting
pitchers, and this year we're gonna do

82
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.600
two relief pitchers. Make a little
deeper there and get you some maybe some

83
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:11.839
holds guys and stuff. And we're
doing ESPN standard scoring because I know a

84
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.480
lot of people play points leagues.
Um, not doing a bench because you

85
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.759
know that's why would we do a
bench. But think at the end here,

86
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:25.240
we're probably gonna have I don't know, something like thirty to forty guys

87
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.439
that we uh, you know,
believe in for one reason or another.

88
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.720
And I might be worth getting on
your teams this year if your draft is

89
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.199
coming up in the next what does
what do we have like eleven twelve days

90
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:43.759
until opening day something like that?
Excellent? Any before we get into that,

91
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.480
what I was gonna say, was
there any like big spring training things

92
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:53.959
we got to chat about before we
get going. I'm gonna take your silence

93
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:59.480
as as maybe maybe nothing huge is
going on. I actually I was just

94
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:04.800
going to mit, uh that when
you write below three hund I definitely was

95
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:12.240
getting guys with an ADP at like
three oh one and higher. So I

96
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:18.000
will be you want a minute to
adjust, I will be recalculating on the

97
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:24.279
fly. Damn it, that's my
that's my fault. I changed that because

98
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.360
I thought it was confusing to say
above um, but apparently it was confusing

99
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.519
to say, you know, yeah, I just that's all. I think

100
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:39.399
it's actually on the reader, not
the writer on that one full But I'll

101
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.120
be good. I'll be able to
hang here. Just don't give me the

102
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.600
first pick. We won't give you
the Yeah, we won't give you the

103
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.000
first pick. We'll make Joe go
first, or I can go first,

104
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:48.800
Joe. I mean, it's up
to you. Man, I crushed you

105
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.360
last year. Whatever you want to
be, okay, you want to be

106
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.560
first, and we'll just we'll just
snake through. Actually, you know what

107
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.600
I always I say, I don't
want to you know what, You could

108
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.040
go first, Taylor, because I
always like those middle picks, And if

109
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.319
we're going to snake around, then
then I want I want to have an

110
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.079
equal distance between all my picks trying
to get Yeah. One thing I do

111
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.639
want to point out that about spring
training. Even though I said I'm not

112
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.519
very tuned into spring training right now, one thing I am tuned into is

113
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.279
Ryan Fitzgerald. Do you guys know
what's happening with Ryan Fitzgerald right now?

114
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.680
Do you know who Ryan Fitzgerald is? It's the name itself is here.

115
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.720
No, let's just assume I don't. I thought I thought I did for

116
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.000
a second. I'm not sure I
do, Chris, do you know the

117
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:41.559
only Ryan Fitzgerald that jumps into my
head is an old quarterback from fifty years

118
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:48.240
ago? I remember? Where are
we going here? Ryan Fitzgerald. Ryan

119
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.799
Fitzgerald is a I don't even think
he was ever a prospect, but he

120
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.159
what he I guess, debuted in
twenty eighteen the Red Sox at twenty four

121
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:07.519
in a ball and he has in
four seasons, or well, I guess

122
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.360
three seasons because twenty twenty one,
but at four different levels. So far,

123
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.360
he's never been a below average hitter, but he's always been at an

124
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.919
advanced age. He's currently like twenty
eight years old, or he's going to

125
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.080
be twenty eight during this season,
and he has not made his debut in

126
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.919
the majors, but he crushed it
at double A last year, and he

127
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:33.840
currently leads all of baseball and home
runs this spring with four and he had

128
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.080
four home runs like three days ago, so I think it was like before

129
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:43.000
like anybody had like three, he
had four. It was incredible, and

130
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.399
he's just he's I think it's like
slash line in the spring right now is

131
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.600
like I think, I think it's
like one or it's three thirty three,

132
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.399
four forty four, and then I
can't find his slugging. But his ops

133
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.240
is one point five seven seven and
four of his five hits are home runs.

134
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.039
So I think what he's doing is
so funny, and I would love

135
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.759
to see him get an opening day
spot with the Red Sox. Um he's

136
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.039
actually like a he's a high like
walk low, strikeout guy, And I

137
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.919
just think that it's so cool to
see like these kind of breakouts has happened

138
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.320
so like just randomly, and this
twenty eight year old, you know,

139
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:30.080
shortstop prospect that I mean even my
queries would have never found Um is all

140
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.799
of a sudden shot radar. Yeah, so I love to see it.

141
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.200
You love spring training. SATs Ryan
Fitzgerald. That storyline, it's incredible.

142
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.320
Yeah, I'll keep an eye for
I mean it, congrats Ryan Fitzgerald having

143
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.159
a nice spring. If you're if
you're listening out there, you had to

144
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.840
get an I'm looking at his stats
I had a nice year in Double A

145
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.000
last year. Yeah, but you
gotta remember one thirty one WRC plus it's

146
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.840
yeah, but I mean, you
know, baseball is hard. Baseball is

147
00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:01.799
hard. You're absolutely right, Yeah, baseball's hard. Okay, thank you,

148
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:07.399
Joe. A little bit of a
little spring training tidbit there. Let's

149
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.879
get into it's gonna be me,
Joe Chris. Just like we've got it

150
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.440
lined up here on the sheet.
I am going to go first with Manuel

151
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:26.320
Marco. Yeah, somebody I well, somebody I liked back in the day

152
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.639
with the padres and and never really
kind of hit full potential. Right.

153
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.240
I think he's gonna have a locked
in spot in the outfield in the lineup

154
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.639
for the Raise this year. You
know, do I think he's gonna be

155
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.039
like an all Star? No?
I think in Rhodo leagues, I'm like,

156
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.960
his upside could be ten to twelve
home runs and geez, if they

157
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.720
let him run like twenty five stone
bases. I don't know if that's going

158
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.799
to happen necessarily, but I for
points leagues or ESPN Points league, he's

159
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.000
got a really nice, you know, eight percent walk rate and a fifteen

160
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.480
percent strikeout rate, not not too
many case, you know, canceling out

161
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.000
those walks, and he can hit
a couple home runs, he can steal

162
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.320
some bags, also get some extra
points in there. Always got to do

163
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.320
his hit after that. I think, M I think he outperforms. I

164
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.600
think I did a little calculating here, and I think Steamer has n't projected

165
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.039
for something like two hundred and seventy
points. I think he'd get an extra

166
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.480
one hundred or so after that.
I think he can have a nice year.

167
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.240
Do you guys have manuelm we're going
any of your teams? I just

168
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:35.919
traded him and one, Oh,
that doesn't make me feel good. I

169
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.320
think, well, who'd you trade
him for? I'm curious? Oh man,

170
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:46.679
it was actually a big package.
Um it. It was an orphan

171
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:54.120
team that I took over and I
traded him along with Robbie, Ray and

172
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:05.159
Zander and I got back the big
names. Yeah, I was selling out.

173
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.759
I got back, Um who did? I am sorry? I am

174
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.320
trying to find actually to give you
the full beat. No, that's all

175
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.039
right. I put you on the
I put you on the on the spot

176
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:22.480
there, and while you're finding it, I'm gonna come back to you.

177
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.879
Joe, You're on the clock.
All right, you have five seconds.

178
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:30.240
I have five seconds. Okay,
I'm going to take Lamont Wade Junior.

179
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:41.399
Okay, right, yeah, I
I what's his ADP Wade, Lamont Wade.

180
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.519
I have him here at three h
five eighty seven. Alright, threw

181
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.960
the needle there, yeah, really
threading the middle needle. I love Lamont

182
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.279
Wade and I think I think we
talked about him in a recent episode,

183
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.159
but he just he broke out last
year with San Francisco after spending his career

184
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.519
with the Twins, and um,
you know, he's projected for like twenty

185
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.639
ish home runs fifteen to twenty home
runs with some seals. You know,

186
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.240
he's just a consent. He's a
pretty it looks like he's going to be

187
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.039
a pretty consistent ballplayer who was mostly
gonna hit against righties. And I know

188
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.120
the you know, Giants last year
use a lot of pinch hitters, So

189
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.320
even when you know a lefty starts
on the mound, I'm sure he'll get

190
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.039
some time in there as a you
know, fill in outfielder once the ball

191
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.399
times in the game. So I
just really like, I really like the

192
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.720
Giants and what they're doing, so
big fan. Also, he has zero

193
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.799
options, so he will start the
year in the majors. Oh a good

194
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.679
note. Good note. I had
him on a couple teams. I picked

195
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.159
him up halfway through the year last
year, and he's he's a solid player.

196
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.120
Yeah. What's not to like about
what the Giants are doing? Kind

197
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.159
of revamping a lot of things.
Are a lot of players revamping things over

198
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.840
in the Bay Area. Okay,
we're a circle back to you, Chris,

199
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.440
are you do you have any dats
on that trade or do you want

200
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.679
to get right into your pick?
Yeah? It was I I said,

201
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.840
so you know who I sold away, and I got Tyler McGill, Frankie

202
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:09.799
Alvarez, Trent Grisham, Luzardo,
Riley Green, and Everson Pere. I

203
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.000
don't know how to say his last
name. I apologize. Holy shit,

204
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:20.960
that's fantastic. Well I got rid
of Xander and Robbie Ray, but then

205
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.240
Marco and Josh. It's a great
package. I love that, you know.

206
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.559
It was, like I said,
an orphan team that we had an

207
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.320
orphan draft, which was a lot
of fun um doing a little dispersal action

208
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:39.000
there because there was a couple of
teams that left the league and the opportunity.

209
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.519
Basically, Zander and Robbie were my
only contending pieces, you know,

210
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.039
in a road of league that's not
gonna happen, so I figured better go

211
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.440
big and sell out. I like
it, especially the Grisham part, you

212
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:58.799
know. Yeah, I'm still a
believer in Trent with you on that one.

213
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.440
Absolutely. All right, good stuff, man, I'm gonna write some

214
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.480
of those names down to kind of
get the money on the list here.

215
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.559
That's great, Okay, who's your
pick? Man? All right? So

216
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:18.559
I guess I'm going to start off
at the corner here with Yoshi Tsugo Pittsburgh

217
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:25.000
excellent. Yeah, I'm a real
big believer in what he started to show

218
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:33.360
after second half there last year.
Playing time is another must first sleeper in

219
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:41.600
my opinion, and opportunities will continue
at Pittsburgh with basically no one chopping at

220
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:48.120
the bid at first base, so
I think he will probably show out quickly

221
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.720
here this year. Awesome. I
love it. I don't have him on

222
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.960
any of my teams. I'm got
his name written down here so I can

223
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.519
look into him a little bit.
I'm with you on the playing time.

224
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:02.639
That's that's that's you, which I
think that was I mean that was part

225
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.400
of my strategy doing this strap last
year. So is that your is that

226
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.519
your goal this year? Joe?
We're playing time on your team. Okay,

227
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.960
you know what you don't need to
all right, well, I mean

228
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.680
you don't gotta you don't got to
talk about that, all right. We

229
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.039
can discuss strategy at the end.
Okay, all right, we can do

230
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.799
that. All right. What's what's
your next pick, Chris? My next

231
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.880
pick? I think I'm gonna go
with a another Well, I guess this

232
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.119
guy is gonna be young here,
but I am becoming more and more a

233
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:40.960
believer of Jeremy Penya okay um.
I wanted to give us a little bit

234
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.480
of a dynasty flare as well,
so he'll be my short stop. And

235
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:52.200
started off just he had the high
k right coming up. But I think

236
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:59.200
this year I expect at least fifteen
and ten M if he gets that full

237
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.920
time gig, which I believe he
will. But I think upwards of a

238
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:10.599
poor man's Frankie Landor is what we're
going to be looking at. My ultimate

239
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:15.400
feeling. But that's you know,
maybe not quite this year. I like

240
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:19.759
it though, a redraft, sleeper
draft, but I still like Jeremy this

241
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.599
year. Yeah. I mean,
even when we do this kind of stuff,

242
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.000
that's you know, it's kind of
redraft, you know, more of

243
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.039
a redraft format. You know,
there's still you know, some people could

244
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.440
be you could be listening to this
and gunning for you know, a championship

245
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.119
or something somebody that's a little under
the radar. If you're kind of looking

246
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.039
at this from a dynasty standpoint,
you know, these are hopefully some more

247
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.640
under the radar guys that you could
target in trades or you know, even

248
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.039
if you get really deep, even
if it's a shallower league or something like

249
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.599
you know, FYPD or something like
that. Any case, love it,

250
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.680
Joe back to you. Oh gosh, Um, all right, I'll wait

251
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:07.839
on this guy. Um, I'm
going to take give me shoes. David

252
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:15.240
Fletcher. Oh I knew it,
Itcher, I love David Fletcher. Um.

253
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.119
You know, he's just he's gonna
he's gonna get some shots to hit

254
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.119
at the top of the order,
I think, um, when Atani's not

255
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.039
heading there, so that'll be really
exciting to see. Um, he's gonna

256
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.359
score some runs and I think he
can provide some decent stolen base numbers too,

257
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.160
especially for after this. Um.
You know, even though this is

258
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.480
like a standard draft, I think
in most drafts, if you're playing in

259
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.359
like a Broado League or something,
that's where Fletcher gets even more value just

260
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.839
because he's gonna hit for a high
average and um, he's gonna steal some

261
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.400
bases. He's not going to provide
Jenny power, but he's likely going to

262
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.599
get you know, second base,
shortstop, potentially even third base. I

263
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:56.160
friendon gets hurt or arrests eligibility and
if the Angels can sign a shortstop that

264
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.599
isn't Tyler Wade um, which I
don't think they're going to. I think

265
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.839
I think Fletcher's the guy at short
so that'll be interesting to see where that

266
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.119
goes. But I like him a
big fan. I have heard that you

267
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:12.079
like David Fletcher. Yes, that
you are a big fan. Um,

268
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.400
how many times do you think we've
said David Fletcher's name over the last year.

269
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.799
We don't. We don't talk about
him too much. I mean he

270
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.319
comes up in like our conversations about
you know, maybe second base or shortstop

271
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.960
like the infielders, and then maybe
in the top like in the you know,

272
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.000
top five hundreds or something where I
go well, you guys don't have

273
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:38.279
David Fletcher ranked in the top three
hundred. Yeah, I like him.

274
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.839
That's that's what I was looking for
you. I like you get fired about

275
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.799
David Fletcher. I like I do. I love him. That's what look

276
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.599
if you, if you get if
anyone who follows like Angel fans should know

277
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.480
that like this, the entire fan
base is like, like, we've got

278
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.039
Shoeotani, he had whatever man,
Mike Trout, whatever man. David Fletcher,

279
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:02.039
though, now that's the one that's
the guy, that's your guy.

280
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:11.200
Okay, onward, I am going
to go with Evan Longoria of the San

281
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.960
Francisco Giants, who actually he was
hurt for quite a bit of last season,

282
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:25.160
but before he got hurt was having
really a really solid year, best

283
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:30.759
max exit velocity of his career,
highest walk rate we had seen in a

284
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:36.119
while. To go with, you
know, some more strikeouts unfortunately, but

285
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:40.839
I really like this new or so
highest barrel percentage as well, So I'll

286
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.599
take that. I like this new
barrel per plate appearance stat that Baseball Savants

287
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:52.960
got on here that I'm kind of
I'm just starting to dive into a little

288
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.119
bit, but a little bit higher
than it has been in the past for

289
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.480
him, which is great, back
to when they started tracking at least.

290
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.799
So I'm again another another giant.
So I like what the giants are doing.

291
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.640
And then I'm gonna go with Andrew
McCutcheon, who is just kind of

292
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:14.960
my blow he steady go to for
years for you know what feels like a

293
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.640
decade now kind of are underrated below
the raidar, radar raider um, below

294
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:25.440
the radar outfielder who's just going to
do a little bit of everything and be

295
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.359
pretty pretty good at everything. So
I'm gonna take him back to you,

296
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:36.799
Joe. I love Andrew McCutcheon.
Sorry, man, all right, all

297
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:42.680
right, um, all right,
I'm going to go with a pitcher.

298
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:48.200
I'm gonna go with Taiwan Walker.
Okay, yeah, I like I like

299
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.640
um Walker All Star last year Taiwan
Walker. Um yeah, he was an

300
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.640
All Star and somehow, I mean, I think I think he got hurt.

301
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:02.000
But he's pitching and he's Alfie so
excited to see what he can do,

302
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:06.440
and he's likely got that rotation spot. Even though I do like Tyler

303
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.599
Miguel, I just don't think that
he's got the opening day rotation spot.

304
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:15.519
Lockdown with the additions of Scherzer and
Bassett. I think Carrasco and Walker are

305
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.599
the last two guys there, but
I do really like him, and I

306
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.119
also like David Peterson. Both those
guys are ill will be picked, but

307
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.279
I don't foresee them starting the year
in the rotation. And but I mean

308
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.799
they wouldn't be bad picks because the
Mets do get hurt, So I don't

309
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.039
know. I just like the idea
of Walker having you know, maybe the

310
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.720
highest floor out of all of those
guys, and also already having a rotation

311
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:44.480
spot the floor you mean, like
Peterson and Miguel Yes, gotcha, Yeah,

312
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.279
got it, all right, I've
got him in the spreadsheet here,

313
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.319
all right, Chris, you're back
up, man. All right. Well,

314
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.200
I'm gonna stick with a picture for
my first one too, and we'll

315
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:03.039
see what the Angels fans have to
say about read. I love it,

316
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:08.519
Read Love read debors. Yeah,
man speaks volumes right there. Since you

317
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:15.839
guys both kind of let out that
audible groan, I thought for sure,

318
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.640
Like I actually thought for sure that
Joe was gonna pick Read Devers with his

319
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:25.200
first pick in this No. No, I mean, I I like debtmers,

320
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.000
but he does not have that rotation
spot solidified. M He pitched,

321
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:33.279
He pitched on the backfield yesterday and
had a he went like I think Justin

322
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.680
Upton was out there among other minor
league players and he had that. He

323
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:41.480
went like three innings with one hit, no walks in five case, which

324
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.680
is great. He's been really good
this spring, um. But and he's

325
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.440
showing like a lot better control and
everything. So I think he's gonna be

326
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:53.799
really really strong. But I think
that there's very very good chance he starts

327
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:57.160
the range. Boy, Well,
so why do you like him? Yeah,

328
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.359
I was just gonna say I don't
think. I mean, I totally

329
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:07.079
agree that he probably will not be
on that opening rotation, but the way

330
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:15.960
historically health has eluded many starters,
um, I think he'll be quick one

331
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.920
of the first ones in, if
not the first one up. And I

332
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.119
don't think he'll lose it this year. I think last year was just you

333
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.920
know, dipping his toe into the
jacuzzi, so to speak. And he'll

334
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:32.039
be all in this year once he
gets that opportunity. Are you telling me

335
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:36.799
that you don't have complete faith in
Shoheo Tony Noah Syndergard Patrick Sandoval, Michael

336
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:44.759
Lorenzen, and Jose Soras. But
I agree. Hey, hey, I'm

337
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.200
sorry, I'm sorry. I just
like that's that's it's a good point.

338
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:51.880
They really think Michael Lorenzen is their
fourth starter, by the way, fourth

339
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.839
not fifth fourth. That's that's what
roster resource says. Yes, and are

340
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.799
we are they still talking about doing
a sixth man rotation? They're I think

341
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.359
they're going to do. Yeah,
they're they're going to with Otani because he's

342
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:07.359
only gonna pitch once week. I
mean, they had him pitching every five

343
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.279
days at the end of last year, but I highly doubt that continues to

344
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.559
start the year. Maybe as the
year goes on. Um, but to

345
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.079
start the year, the like to
stick with six man just to you know,

346
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:23.359
make sure that Otani doesn't get her
burnt out right away. Yeah,

347
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.440
yeah, makes sense. All right, Chris, onto the next one.

348
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:36.359
All right, I am going to
let's see, speaking of frequent injuries,

349
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:40.039
I'm gonna actually go with Nick Senvil. I know that's the opposite of what

350
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:48.039
I was just talking about, but
I think this will let's just say,

351
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:51.039
he's going to have a longer leash
as long as he can handle it,

352
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.200
and stay healthy. I think you
know, he's got the pedigree one of

353
00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:00.839
the top picks whatever year that was
twenty sixteen, um, seventeen, somewhere

354
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:07.359
in there, college bat that was
highly touted right off the bat. He

355
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:15.680
started to he started to actually perform
well last year until he then missed the

356
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.960
greater part of the season. But
his health is with him this year.

357
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:26.480
I like bat playing a great America
and getting as many high up in order

358
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.720
at bats they'll give him. Yeah, here's hoping he can stay healthy.

359
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.480
Man, he could have it.
He could have a great year if he

360
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.079
could just stay healthy. We were
joking earlier. I think it was before

361
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.640
we started about having issues with our
draft styles, and one of mine is

362
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:48.880
just this tease of injury. You
know. I like to I'll walk that

363
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:56.079
fine line with my draft sometimes.
Yeah, that is something I try to

364
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.920
avoid, but sometimes it's just too
hard to pass it up. I love,

365
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.680
you know, the talent that sucks
me in. Oh yeah, I

366
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.759
turned the blind eyes sometimes. I
hear you. I hear you. Good

367
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.440
stuff, all right, Joe,
Who are you taking next? Man?

368
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:17.880
Dominic Smith? Dominic Smith? What
is he down at first base or outfield?

369
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:19.759
Let me see what I have more
on my adems chart. I'll take

370
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.480
him at first, Um, who
you will? Yeah, I'll take first.

371
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:27.480
He's Vangraft says he's first base outfield
and realistically that's what he is.

372
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:32.519
Played fifteen games at first, so
he should have eligibility. Um, okay,

373
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.359
but he's mostly an outfielder. But
since he's got that eligibility first,

374
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.319
I mean pick three seventy five,
I love it. Yeah. I love

375
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.680
Dominic Smith. Great in twenty twenty, great and twenty nineteen. He had

376
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:48.440
a bad twenty twenty one, but
I think the DH will help him.

377
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:52.319
Um. Truthfully, I think that
Pete Alonzo should be dhing and Smith should

378
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.000
play first. He's a better first
baseman defensively, but I doubt the medsment

379
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:59.599
do that. So um, but
I mean, you know, I think

380
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.559
you should get some time in the
outfield. If Marte and Canada and all

381
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:08.039
of them are you know, dhing
or hurt and currently breaster resources Robinson Cano

382
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.359
is the DH, which I think
that Smith will have that job over just

383
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:17.759
based off those you know, track
record in history of canoes problems and injuries

384
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:23.920
and everything. Right, all right, awesome, I'm gonna go with Marco

385
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:30.680
Gonzalez of the Mariners. Oh I
love. I love when I elicit that

386
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.359
kind of reaction. Love. He
was gonna he was high on my board,

387
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.880
high on my board. Really yeah, man, I love it.

388
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:41.559
Marco Gonzalez at adp of three twenty
five. And I'm gonna go next with

389
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:48.400
Caesar Hernandez at second base, and
I'm gonna write those guys in really quick.

390
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.200
Marco Gonzalez, I mean, you're
not gonna find too many guys.

391
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:56.160
I don't think at you know,
what's what did I say is AD was

392
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:02.480
three twenty five that are gonna throw
potentially un seventy eight innings and in the

393
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:07.440
Points League, that's huge. I
mean, he's we're doing. My home

394
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.079
league is an eight team and we've
got some questions on this later and we've

395
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.039
got an eighteen twenty five twenty six
man roster teams. So it's like you

396
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:17.400
don't even draft him in that league, but you can. You can stream

397
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.119
him, and he's better than a
streamer like he to me, Marco martin

398
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.680
Zal is very steady, even in
rodal leagues. Is a very steady picture

399
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.400
kind of you know, kind of
a crafty, lefty type guy, doesn't

400
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.039
throw all that hard. From what
I remember from my brain doesn't work all

401
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:38.039
that well sometimes right now, but
good picture, better than better than perceived

402
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:45.519
in my opinion. And Caesar Hernandez
again another underrated hitter. Um well,

403
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:51.000
I think should hit close to the
top of the order for the Nationals.

404
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:56.519
Does anybody have any more info on
that? No, not necessarily and if

405
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.519
I kind of feel I kind of
feel like he's going to be the leadoff

406
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.240
guy, I mean, and then
so there's there's hopefully you know, five

407
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:07.440
hundred and fifty to six hundred plate
appearances. Again, a good thing in

408
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.279
points least is maximize actually in all
leaks, right, we want to maximize

409
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:17.200
or plate appearances and our chances to
a crew of points. And another guy

410
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:21.160
that I think he's got pretty solid
walk to strikeout ratios. I know I'm

411
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.839
always going back to that, but
I think it's important in these links were

412
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:29.680
you know, we want to cancel
out as many as possible and could hit.

413
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:32.480
We hit twenty one home runs last
year, and you can get him

414
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:38.559
at what is this what is his
ADP? We make sure three twenty seven,

415
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:44.920
so right around where you're gonna get
Marco Gonzalez love it. So I'm

416
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:51.519
all over those two guys. Back
to you, Joe Connor Joe, Oh,

417
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:56.440
come on, outfielder. Yeah,
I love Connor, Joe. I

418
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.400
know Taylor loves Connor. Joe.
I actually almost took him with my first

419
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.599
pick, but decided I would wait
a little bit and said, if Taylor

420
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:06.720
wants to take a really high up
pe and take him. But I love

421
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.000
Connor Joel dudes raking and spring training
too. By the way, he's got

422
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:13.480
like a you know, obviously it's
a small sample, it's one lad appearances,

423
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:15.519
but he's killing it and he plays
all over the field. He's going

424
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:21.000
to fit into that lineup somehow.
And you gotta love points leeves and the

425
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:24.839
horse fields, especially with the improved
lineup of Chris Bryant. That's it.

426
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:30.680
Here's the one thing you gotta worry
about though, right like they now have

427
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:35.079
so there's a lot of Sam Hilliard
hype right now. Randall Richard just got

428
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.240
traded to the to the Rockies and
they have Chris bryan and left field.

429
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:43.240
That's the only thing I worry about
now, Okay, that that's great.

430
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.599
I love the Rockies, are you
know, spending some money right like good

431
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:52.119
good for them for trying to win
sucks. I maybe it won't suck for

432
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:57.079
Connor Joel, but it's not the
best thing that could have happened to him.

433
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.400
Yeah, I mean no, I
certainly did they see that, And

434
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.680
you know, it's gonna be interesting
to see it where he's gonna be playing

435
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.319
a lot um, you know if
but an injury to CJ. Crown or

436
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:13.400
Chris Bryant or Charlie Blackman or you
know, Gritcha Hilliard, any of those

437
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:20.119
guys gives him that, you know
spot, He's the guy, absolutely absolutely,

438
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.319
I love him. We talked about
him on Yeah podcast. You know

439
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.119
at the end of last you were
really were the one that put him onto

440
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:30.559
me. I didn't know he's great
and now and now he's like love's and

441
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:34.519
he's kind of like the perfect definition
of like you know how we were saying

442
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:37.480
earlier like there like there isn't a
sleeper anymore and his Connor Joe is kind

443
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.799
of like this is our sleeper draft
and Connor Joe is like one of the

444
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.359
big ones of the off seasons.
You were, I know you were on

445
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:46.680
him before everyone else, So I'll
give you that for sure. Thank you

446
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:52.920
man. All right, Chris,
take us through the turn here man,

447
00:33:52.519 --> 00:34:00.160
all right, and I'm gonna go
with another outfielder, Chas McCormick. As

448
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:05.960
McCormick, I can say that I
know absolutely nothing about Jaz McCormick. Let's

449
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.960
hear it. Yeah, he got
his basically his real Cup last year.

450
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:14.320
At the end of the year,
he's going to be the starting center fielder.

451
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:19.360
There might be a small position battle
again, but likely he hits his

452
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:29.800
to lose. All the public facing
projections have him at on a fifteen and

453
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:35.760
five pace with half of the season
at bats, so maybe nice, you

454
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.760
know, you can up that a
little bit if he gets the full time

455
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:43.880
gig. Obviously it's a powerful lineup. He's hitting on the back half more

456
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:53.639
than likely. But full time gig
and I combo platter machine of home run

457
00:34:53.800 --> 00:35:01.400
steels, combo platter machine in a
sleeper s in a sleep. Oh,

458
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:04.559
I like it. I like that
term too. We're gonna have to do

459
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:12.400
a podcast all centered around combo platter
machines CPM episode anyway, Oh, good

460
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:20.199
stuff. Who's your next one?
That is a good question here it is,

461
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:24.679
thank you. I'm gonna go with
for third base, We'll go with

462
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:31.119
Kevin Smith. I think he's a
hot name right now. Yeah. Um,

463
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:36.960
again, he's gonna be getting that
full time gig at third base there

464
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.320
with the athletics, no one behind
him, so they will give him the

465
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:50.119
full opportunity that he deserves. Um. He might not be a full combo

466
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:58.280
platter machine, but he is still
going to be just racking up at baths

467
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:04.880
and probably give you a good fifteen
plus home runs out of the gate.

468
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:09.519
My thoughts here. So I like
taking Kevin Smith there and on the turn.

469
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.480
Love it. Yeah, he was
actually somebody that Joe had talked about

470
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:19.679
a little bit ago. And fun
fact, we're in a we're in another

471
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:25.199
dynasty league together, more of a
family friends type league where he was taken

472
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.960
third overall in the FYPD that just
started last night in this morning. So

473
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:37.199
there's Kevin Smith hype out there right
now. There definitely is I like it.

474
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:43.639
Thank you, Chris, Joe back
to you, all right, I

475
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:53.159
am going to take sho It's a
tough one. I'm going to take a

476
00:36:53.159 --> 00:37:05.079
picture. Okay, I'm gonna take
I guess yeah, you can't m and

477
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.800
wait if I say, if I
say somebody's name and on your list,

478
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:13.800
are you are you going to change
it and take that person instead Tyler Wells.

479
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:19.079
No, okay, all right,
go ahead, good old Kyle Gibson,

480
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:24.159
Oh okay, yep. Um.
For those who may not be aware,

481
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:30.119
Kyle Gibson is one. Um is
one of Taylor and mis guys.

482
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.679
I would say, Um, he's
a guy that we roster in pretty much

483
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:39.480
any league that the other one is
not in. Otherwise we're trading him back

484
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:45.519
and forth if possible. He's just
a really consistent pitcher. Dudes, pretty

485
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:47.280
he's just got a he's got a
million miles in his arm at this point.

486
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:51.719
But he, um, you know, throws like at least one hundred

487
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:55.079
and fifty innings a year minus twenty
twenty for obvious reasons. And um,

488
00:37:55.199 --> 00:38:00.320
I don't like the ballpark all that
much, but I'm just looking at past

489
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:04.320
precedent. I think it's really easy
to pencil them in for one hundred and

490
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:08.920
eighty innings, and doing that post
pick three hundred is really difficult to find.

491
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:12.960
If you look at the other guys
that we're taking in this spot.

492
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.199
You know, the Marco Marco Gonzalez
is kind of a similar boat, but

493
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:19.280
doesn't throw as many innings, I
would say, and you know, like

494
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.599
you know, Debtmer's and Taylan Walker
there's questions there. But with Gibson,

495
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.199
it's like he's gonna probably have a
four era A yeah, sure, that's

496
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:30.119
fine, but he's just gonna rack
up innings and points and know, I

497
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.760
know in points leagues, you know, quality starts and innings are really really

498
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.960
big. Um. So I just
like his presence there. I think he'll

499
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:40.440
be a good stabilizer for me.
This is my Madison bum Garner pick last

500
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:45.880
year. By the way, it's
the exact same like vising, it's the

501
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:51.239
exact same reasoning. So this is
going to clearly go very well. Yeah,

502
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:52.599
it'll be it'll be perfect. You're
gonna do great this year, Joe.

503
00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:58.199
Yeah, don't don't worry. Okay, you're right. Yeah. I

504
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.599
like Kyle Gibson as well. I'm
gonna go Tyler Wells. Damn. It's

505
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:04.840
somebody that you know, you had
pointed out a long time ago, and

506
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:08.039
I think you probably do a better
better job of explaining the upside of Tyler

507
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:14.719
Wells to me. To me,
he's kind of entrenched in a hopefully hopefully

508
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.960
a closer battle that leans his way
because I think he's got great stuff.

509
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:21.920
But I know that you had written
or you had done you know, you're

510
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:25.800
the ground formula, and he was
somebody that showed up. Yeah, have

511
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.079
any other like deeper thoughts on Tyler
Wells you could throw out there for everybody.

512
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:35.039
Yes, so Tyler Wells actually might
have a like path to starting at

513
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:38.239
some point if you like think about
like the Orioles is what the astros were.

514
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:45.239
I like to think of Tyler Wells
is like what Collin MQ was like,

515
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:49.239
where he's like this guy that you
know, doesn't like he's going to

516
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:52.599
be there from the very start and
will likely not have a long term rotation

517
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:59.599
spot, but could eventually like stick
into some type of multi inning or you

518
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.360
know, while even closer or even
like a small rotation role where he goes

519
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:06.440
for three or four innings kind of
in a raised type you know, a

520
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.360
situation. And he was really really
good last year. Um he qualified for

521
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:15.440
the report that I do every year
called the Dagram Formula, which is just

522
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:19.519
identifying pictures under the age of thirty
that have the potential to break out.

523
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.079
And he was one of the guys
that showed up in the list. So

524
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:25.800
I'm really interested to see what the
Orioles are going to do with him,

525
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.360
But I think that he's got a
pretty solid future, you know, coming

526
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:35.599
up. He's also sixty, which
is cool, so love that. Yeah,

527
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:42.039
dude, that my next pick is
going to be Pierce Johnson because I

528
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:47.079
seem to be on like a you
know, Pierce Johnson hype train tour this

529
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:51.360
offseason. I kind of made the
bold prediction a while back that he was

530
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:54.599
going to get thirty saves and that
everybody's gonna be scrambling for him in the

531
00:40:54.639 --> 00:41:01.000
first couple of weeks of the season. That feels, you know, like

532
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:04.559
that maybe could still happen. I
don't know if people, I mean,

533
00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:07.559
his ADP is at four or five. I know he's not going to be

534
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:12.639
drafted in you know many you know, smaller leagues. Um, and maybe

535
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:14.840
it's the first TI I've ever heard
of Pierce Johnson. I don't know.

536
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.559
In my opinion, he's the guy
that should be gone to as the closer

537
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.239
first for the Padres. I don't
know if that is in the end going

538
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:28.960
to be the case because they know
they have Robert Suarez and they could sign

539
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.239
somebody else. Who knows they've got
I mean, we've got Dnilson, Matt

540
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:36.039
got Amelia Pagan. They've got all
sorts of guys that could that could close

541
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.079
out games. In my opinion,
though it should be Pierce Johnson. He's

542
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:44.679
got really great stuff. He's got
a wicked little curveball, and I watched

543
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:49.679
him pitch probably more than I watched
a lot of other pitchers last year,

544
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:55.800
really good in in uh, like
where do you come? Like high leverage

545
00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:00.000
situations. He was put in against
a lot of big bats and performed really

546
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:05.719
well. So he's a guy I
have an eye on that one. If

547
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.679
we're talking about like safe picks,
that's not a safe pick, that is

548
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:14.960
that is kind of a dart a
dart throw. But somebody I have speculated

549
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:21.960
on in quite a few weeks lately. So get after Pierce Johnson. Back

550
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:29.159
to you, Joe, I'll take
Wilmer Flores third base. Flores. Tell

551
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:34.079
me about Wilma Flores in the same
mold of like Lamont Wade junior. Floreses

552
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:39.239
crushes opposite handed pitching and will most
likely almost like not exclusively, but will

553
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:43.880
mostly be used in that role.
He also just fills in really nicely into

554
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:46.840
the infield playing for a second and
third base, so that flexibility towards the

555
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:51.760
end of the draft is really nice. He's pretty consistently getting like four hundred,

556
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:55.920
close to five hundred plate appearances a
year UM, and especially with the

557
00:42:55.920 --> 00:43:00.280
Giants, it's really cool to see
UM. And with the DA which I

558
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:04.000
imagine he's going to get even more
of a of a chance to hit maybe

559
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:08.000
even against righties UM in this upcoming
season. So just in the same mold.

560
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:10.320
He's a guy who's, you know, on a good team that I

561
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:14.719
like, had a good year last
year and can probably hit like fifteen to

562
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:19.599
twenty home runs and with a good
batting average. How did Rumor Flores tie

563
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:23.119
his career in home runs last year? I had no idea runs. It

564
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.079
was really good. It was really
solid. You know, it's just a

565
00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.760
good He's a good ballplayer. He's
one of the best like lefty hitting players

566
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:35.800
in baseball and has been for like
his entire career. I remember that being

567
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:38.400
like a thing when he was on
the Mets. It was just he absolutely

568
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:43.239
destroys lefties and just struggles against righties. But if there's any team that can

569
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.679
figure out how to get him to
hit against righties, it's the Giants.

570
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:50.159
Wow, No, that's that's surprising
to me. That's a really good one.

571
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:52.920
I'm looking at Steve like I did
some you know for ESPN leagues.

572
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:59.159
I did some math here, I
took I pulled the excel file for projections.

573
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:01.920
So Steve, I believe it's Steamer. That's where I pulled us from.

574
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:07.320
He's projected as a top two hundred
hitter. Wow or top two hundred

575
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:09.239
Yeah, top two hud is pretty
awesome. That's great, great value,

576
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:15.280
so solid, solid pick cool Chris. Back to you, man, Well,

577
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:20.000
I gotta say I am happy you
aren't with Wilmo Flores because I thought

578
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:28.360
there was gonna be a reliever here. So my reliever that a buddy of

579
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:34.679
mine from my home league, turned
me on to late last year's Art Warren

580
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:42.519
and the fact that he's still being
drafted so late. It completely surprising to

581
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:47.679
me, especially after the Sims injury
news. As we were talking here,

582
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:53.719
I actually pulled up roster resource and
the red steps chart is actually kind of

583
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:59.760
funny. Um, they have five
different closures lifted. I guess that's a

584
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:05.599
in their eyes. But about Art
Warren, if you're not familiar yet,

585
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:10.400
I'm pretty sure he's going to get
the first opportunities he had a ridiculous k

586
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:15.760
rate last year and his decent sample
size of a rookie year. I think

587
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:23.320
it's forties, low forties. It's
just this wipe out slider that he got

588
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:30.559
a forty six percent way right.
I'm strongly buying him in every opportunity.

589
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:34.400
Yeah, I can, much to
the chagrin of the guy who turned me

590
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:39.920
onto him, but I am all
aboard. I heart art of that.

591
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.239
Oh yeah, I love that.
Ye all right, good stuff I've been

592
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:49.119
hearing about. I've been hearing some
whisperings about him, yether. That bullpen

593
00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:52.840
seems like it's kind of a kind
of up in the air. But speculate

594
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:55.719
on skills, right, Yeah,
if you're in the safehold league, gets

595
00:45:55.760 --> 00:46:00.800
a no brainer in my opinion to
have him on your roster. If it's

596
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:07.039
the staves only, I think he's
definitely worth a late round pick to fill

597
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:13.239
out that bullpen. Love it awesome. Keep that reliever. You're keeping the

598
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:16.360
reliever ugoing, or you can move
off. I am going to move off,

599
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:23.400
but I'm going to stay on the
mound. Carlos Hernandez from the Royals

600
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:28.599
nice. You know, I know
a lot of people have mixed emotions about

601
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:34.760
his performance last year. You know, he kind of came out of nowhere.

602
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.280
He wasn't a hyped prospect by any
means that the Royals have had plenty

603
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:45.760
of pitching prospects before him that were
way more hyped. But his five pitch

604
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:52.119
arsenal I he to me, it
just seems like there's something underneath that I

605
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.760
can't quantify. I don't have that
ability, but I just see him as

606
00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:00.360
being this once he puts it all
together and it's able to effectably use all

607
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:05.239
five of those pitches. Um,
I think he's got another level here.

608
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:13.480
Yeah. I mean, if you're
gonna speculate on guys this late at what

609
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:15.719
what was it ADP three eighty five, three eighty one something like that,

610
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:20.360
Yeah, I mean, can't you
can go? It could be worse than

611
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:22.639
a guy throws ninety seven ninety eight
miles an hour and with five pitches.

612
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:30.199
So exactly love it all right,
Joe, I believe it is your turn,

613
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:34.440
all right. I moved David Fletcher
off the second base because I wanted

614
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.880
to move him to short is eligible
there. Um, oh, you're doing

615
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:43.400
You're just like making moves mid draft
King making moves with mid draft. This

616
00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:51.480
guy Okay, I'm taking Jeff McNeil
at second base. Okay, what what

617
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:57.119
is there that is exciting about Jeff
McNeil, Uh, very little, but

618
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:01.360
like it's just time and he's kind
of like a high batting average guy.

619
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:06.559
You know, he hit for prior
to twenty twenty one, he had a

620
00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:09.559
three hundred batting average over a three
hundred batting average every year of his career,

621
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:15.079
and he never had a WRC plus
blow one thirty. So he's just

622
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:17.880
a you know, he's a good
hitter. And I think that, you

623
00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:21.760
know, I think that last year
is going to be the blip year.

624
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:25.280
I much. You know, I
believe the one thousand played appearances prior to

625
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:30.840
that of three eighty OBP versus the
four hundred of you know, three twenty,

626
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.679
and you know, I just think
that there's some home run upside there

627
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:37.159
too, with like hit twenty three
home runs in twenty nineteen. I know

628
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:40.320
it's a juiced ball year, but
you know, I still think there's like

629
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:45.880
ten to fifteen home runs there.
Not really any stolen basis to be accounted

630
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:50.079
for, but I certainly believe that
the batting average is there and just the

631
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.199
hitting potential and the playing time.
He plays all over the field. He

632
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:57.280
can play second, he can play
third, you can play the outfield until

633
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:04.119
pH probably as well. So I
like it. I will take I'm just

634
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:08.000
trying to think this true. I
will take the under on eleven home runs

635
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:14.159
or ten and a half home runs
for Jeff McNeil this year, Olier on

636
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:17.800
that. Okay, so you're not
you know, Okay, I don't be

637
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:21.239
over to be the odd one.
Yeah, I don't okay, even the

638
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:25.000
Yeah, I don't believe in the
power like, but I certainly wouldn't be

639
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:30.400
surprised if he hits fifteen, just
to be shocked. Who knows, maybe

640
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:35.320
Albe's gonna juice the ball to change
the conversation from the lockout to the runs.

641
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:37.440
Again. Well, we did get
word that. I don't know if

642
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:40.000
you guys heard. I got to
find the story. Maybe I can um

643
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:45.000
I can try to link it.
But I had heard that they're going to

644
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:51.599
have humidors in every stadium, so
maybe that works in his favor. And

645
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:54.079
he's not supposed to help, right, Yeah, he puts the ball in

646
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:58.360
play. You know, he doesn't
strike out very much. Strikes outis and

647
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:00.239
ten percent of the time he only
struck out seven print. He actually had

648
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.239
like close to a you know,
not a career low, but a significant

649
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:07.360
drop off in strikeout rate last year
that was closer to his career line.

650
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:12.440
And he had a career high walk
rate as well, which is cool to

651
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:14.880
see, even though it's only like
or not. Wait that was I.

652
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:17.920
I was reading those incorrectly. I
was reading the strikeout rate as his walk

653
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:24.400
raad strikeout rate. Get a career
high strikeout rate and a close to career

654
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:28.880
low walk rate. That is the
opposite of what I was just trying to

655
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:35.880
signify. So ignore what I said. Ignore Joe, everybody, noor Joe.

656
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:38.079
All right, we've got Jeff McNeil
on the board. Just a couple

657
00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:42.159
of picks left for everybody. I
think six something picks left for everybody.

658
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:47.760
I like it. I am gonna
go with another deep, deep guy who

659
00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:52.360
I just have a feeling about.
I don't again, this is another dark

660
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:58.039
throw. I just think he's a
good hitter who was eventually going to get

661
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:04.360
a chance, and that is Luis
Campusano. I know that the Padres have

662
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:08.519
like three or four catchers on their
roster right now. They've got Jorge Alfaro,

663
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:15.320
You've got Austin Nola, they've got
somebody else. I don't even know

664
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:19.840
Victor Carrattini, right, who's gonna
play once at least once every five days,

665
00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:23.440
or you know, at least once
through every run through the rotation,

666
00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:30.239
right, because he's you Darvish's catcher. I just think at some point maybe

667
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:36.519
this is more of a gut call
that Luis Canso forces his way onto this

668
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:38.639
roster. I think he's I think
he's that. I don't think he has

669
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:43.239
anything else left to prove. In
the minor leagues for the last couple of

670
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:49.239
years, he's been just excellent.
And obviously last year when he did play

671
00:51:49.320 --> 00:51:51.760
them in the majors, you know, it was only under forty he played

672
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:53.000
appearances, he was very he was
very bad, right, there's no the

673
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:59.400
way to ignore that he was very
bad. But I think if I'm going

674
00:51:59.440 --> 00:52:04.760
to speculate on somebody with an ADP
and the five hundreds at catcher, maybe

675
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:07.159
even you know, especially in the
two catcher league, it's going to be

676
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:13.360
Louis Compassona. Still, I still
believe it feels like he keeps getting pushed

677
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:17.480
out, But I believe do you
guys have Louis Compassona on any of your

678
00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:22.039
teams. I actually do. I
have him in a good bit of leagues.

679
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.920
I really like him. Well that
makes that makes me feel a little

680
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:30.320
bit better about it. And I'm
gonna go next. I'm gonna go is

681
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:37.440
Zach Rinky? Oh okay, Yeah, because Zach Ranky's kind of cool and

682
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:39.400
kind of weird and back with the
Royals, and I don't know, I

683
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:44.840
kind of maybe that's just like you
know, anecdote storyline base. I think

684
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:49.480
it's cool friend to him to end
up back with the team that he started

685
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:53.480
with. And I don't know,
it's just I like I like Wiley old

686
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:57.199
veterans. You know, he doesn't
grow very hard, he doesn't strike out

687
00:52:57.239 --> 00:52:59.519
that many guys. But again,
another guy that threw one hundred and seventy

688
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:02.199
one innings like pretty much under the
radar last year, you know what I

689
00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:07.719
mean. I don't know. I
think innings are king in a lot of

690
00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:10.760
in some of these points leagues,
like I mentioned earlier, and I'll definitely

691
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:19.079
be taking a shot on him.
His ADP is very three fifty three forty

692
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:24.559
seven, so just meets through criteria. Back to you, Joe, all

693
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:29.119
right, gonna take my last picture
here or my last starter. I'm gonna

694
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:35.639
take Zach Efflyn. Oh man,
he was. I have him here right

695
00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:39.679
next to Zach Ranky, David Love, Zach Eflin, big fan. Um.

696
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:43.960
He was really really good last year, kind of like a you know,

697
00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:45.639
a pseudo breakout here, I guess, even though he's kind of just

698
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.559
been like a you know, the
same picture, but I think more people

699
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:52.920
started to notice last year. But
even in like twenty twenty, dude had

700
00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:57.239
like a twenty eight percent last strikeout
rate in a six percent rock rate.

701
00:53:57.480 --> 00:54:00.000
I know it's only in sixty innings, but it's ten starts that show what

702
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:04.840
he could potentially be. And his
line, like his peripherals were you know,

703
00:54:05.239 --> 00:54:07.320
somewhat in line with that time.
He lowered his walk rate in twenty

704
00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:12.440
twenty are in twenty twenty one,
but his striker rate also lowered a little

705
00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:15.559
bit. So I expect him to
probably sit around like twenty four percent strikeout

706
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:19.639
rate, maybe like a five percent
walk rade, six percent walk ratee.

707
00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:23.000
And he should be healthy. He's
you know, starting and didn't give up

708
00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:28.079
a hit and his most recent,
most recent spring start, so I really

709
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:35.280
like that, like it, like
it. Where was his so I didn't

710
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:37.559
catch cut out? For a second, what's his ADP? Never mind,

711
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:45.760
I got a four forty crazy right
very late? Wow? Wow? All

712
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:47.800
right, Well you closed that your
rotation nicely with Thailand Walker, Kyle Gibson,

713
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:51.039
and Zach Ethel. Those are three
guys that were on my radar as

714
00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:53.599
well, and I hate you for
it. All right, Chris, you're

715
00:54:53.679 --> 00:55:00.320
up? Man, Well, I
am gonna go actually with two Mariners here

716
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:04.199
on the turn. Um, I
need a second basement, So I'm going

717
00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:08.400
to start off with their leadoff man
Adam Fraser or they're currently penciled in leadoff

718
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:15.360
man. Oh. I mean it's
obviously well documented his post trade UH to

719
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:22.400
San Diego collapse last year. Yeah, it wasn't good. And I hope

720
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:27.199
I'm not giving you too many flashbacks
here, but you know, his time

721
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:31.440
with Pittsburgh, I think, um
show that he hits the ball. You

722
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:37.000
know, he does not strike out
or doesn't strike out often outside of his

723
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:44.480
time there. But the Mariners offense
is much improved, um, and so

724
00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:46.960
I think he's going to be scoring
a good amount of runs of leading that

725
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:55.320
that team off second base is also
pretty thin, especially in the PA.

726
00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:02.320
Oh yeah, the earn pick.
Then we'll close up my rotation, and

727
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:12.800
I'm gonna go with the currently listed
fifth starter, Matt Brash thin rate off

728
00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:19.800
the charts. You know, he's
hopefully going to be lining up for stay,

729
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:23.519
not a five and dive type.
That's my biggest concern in this to

730
00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:29.840
format, that he might not be
out there long enough for to qualify for

731
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:36.320
wins, but he'll be striking guys
out. He will currently be out there

732
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:40.760
every fifth day, and I think
at this point he wants his draft position.

733
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:45.239
I think it's in the mid force, well closer to even six hundred,

734
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:51.280
about five hundred here. I think
he is definitely an arm that's worth

735
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:59.039
grabbing very late. I at one
agree another player that the Padres traded away,

736
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:06.039
so it was obviously Lea destined for
greatness. Obviously good good stuff man,

737
00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:12.800
Joe, do you all right?
I'll round out my outfield with um

738
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:22.480
all rounded out with Randall Gritchick.
Okay, yeah, okay. I think

739
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:25.960
that I was looking for, you
know, some stability here, some plate

740
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:30.480
appearances with taking Lamont Wade and Connor
Joe, who are you know, like

741
00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:34.679
really you know, good players,
and I think that they'll, you know,

742
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:37.880
see some good time. I wanted
a guy who could realistically get like

743
00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:40.800
six hundred plate appearances. And I
think that there's, you know, a

744
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:45.760
possibility that even with perfect health,
Wade and Joe might not get there,

745
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:51.119
and I think that Gritchick should get
there. I like it. I've always

746
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:57.519
had a kind of a weird,
irrational like I don't want to call it

747
00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:00.800
a love affair, but I've always
liked Randall Richard. You want to know,

748
00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:05.519
Oh sorry, go ahead, Yeah, I don't tell me my favorite

749
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:13.800
Randall Gritchick story. So the Angels
had two picks in the two thousand and

750
00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:17.880
one draft was two thousand and nine
first round. They had back to back

751
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:22.159
picks, and I think it was
twenty four to twenty five overall. With

752
00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:25.599
number twenty four overall, they take
Randall with They take Randall Gritchick, the

753
00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:30.320
first of two right handed outfielders they
would take. The second one was Mike

754
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:35.480
Trout. Wow, yeah, so
he was. They had back to back

755
00:58:35.559 --> 00:58:39.679
picks and they took Gritchick and Trout. M Gritchick was traded away before making

756
00:58:39.760 --> 00:58:44.639
a debut with the Angels. I
think he was sent in David Freeze trade.

757
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:51.559
For those who remember trades from like
the early two thousand, dudes that

758
00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:55.360
involved, you know, third basement
that were past their prime. But um

759
00:58:55.519 --> 00:58:59.480
yeah, always one of my favorite
things that he was taken one pick before

760
00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:07.639
Mike Trout by the team that took
Wake Trout. That is wild because they

761
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:13.039
have had wildly different careers. Yeah, very very different. Wow, Wow,

762
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:17.119
all right, cool, I am
gonna wow. This is okay.

763
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:21.840
I've got four picks left, No
three picks left. I need a first

764
00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:27.599
baseman and outfielder. No four picks. Geez, I screwed that up.

765
00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:30.679
I need a shortstop, a first
basement, an outfielder. I started pitcher.

766
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:36.280
I'm gonna go with Jorge Mateo at
three eighty two, and I'm gonna

767
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:39.920
go with Chris Flexen to round out
my rotation. Flexing, I think is

768
00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:45.199
fairly self explanatories, very similar to
the other guys. I had picked a

769
00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:51.360
lot of innings, one hundred and
sixty innings or so, fairly good ratios

770
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:55.400
across the board, you know,
otherwise, not many strikeouts, which isn't

771
00:59:55.519 --> 01:00:00.880
which isn't great. I'm kind of
baking on those innings. So there's keep

772
01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:02.360
that in mind if you're drafting him, right, he just doesn't have a

773
01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:07.239
whole lot of strikeouts to prop up
when things go poorly right in ESPN leagues,

774
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:09.360
right, because if you're given up
runs, that's minus too. You

775
01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:12.960
got to get another strikeout to balance
that out. So there's not too many

776
01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:15.400
there to balance it out. At
six point two six k per nine,

777
01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:20.559
which is very very low. That
being said again, I'm kind of going

778
01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:22.800
for innings here, you know,
at this point, you know picked four

779
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:28.079
hundred, three hundred and eighty year
draft. Jorge Mateo, though, is

780
01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:35.119
another guy I really like who really
was great after he was traded to Baltimore

781
01:00:35.239 --> 01:00:37.599
last season. Got a couple of
steals, a couple of home runs.

782
01:00:38.679 --> 01:00:46.400
Russ Or Resource doesn't have him currently
in the starting lineup. I'm not as

783
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:50.440
sure. I'm not that sure why. I don't know much about Ramone Arias,

784
01:00:51.239 --> 01:00:57.960
who is currently penciled in shortstop.
However, I think Jorge Mateo finds

785
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:00.599
his way into that lineup. I
think they're something there, like he really

786
01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:05.880
like with consistent playing time in the
second half of last season, was a

787
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:08.559
very was a very good player,
or if not a very good player,

788
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:13.920
a useful, like a very good, useful fantasy player for your lineups.

789
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:19.679
So that's where I'm headed. Chris
flexing three eighty No, where did I

790
01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:23.400
say flexing was? Flex was three
seventy four? Mateo at three eighty two?

791
01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:27.320
Joe back to you. All right, I'm gonna take another one of

792
01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:32.480
Taylor's guys. No first relief picture. Very surprised you didn't take this relief

793
01:01:32.519 --> 01:01:38.960
picture. So this is paybacks with
Tyler Wells. Is it Jonathan Leisa?

794
01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:43.440
It is Jonathan Eliza Ga? Yes, oh, I love that guy.

795
01:01:43.559 --> 01:01:47.559
It is Jonathan Elizaga. I'll let
you do this then, okay, pull

796
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:50.639
up. Let me let me pull
up some stats here. I mean,

797
01:01:52.239 --> 01:01:54.920
here's the thing with jump with Lois
is it? Jeez? I had this

798
01:01:55.119 --> 01:01:58.599
right the other day, and now
I feel like I'm saying it run is

799
01:01:58.639 --> 01:02:02.639
it? I think it's low Isaaca, not Loisika. So lo Isaaca?

800
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:07.599
Um I pulled up? You know, I know, and I know that

801
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:12.000
Baseball Savant isn't everything. But if
you're a fan of a lot of red

802
01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:21.119
on the Baseball Savant h site dot
com dot MLB dot com, Jonathan's page

803
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:27.320
is for you. It is.
It is wild and in my opinion,

804
01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:30.840
if he could stay healthy and be
healthy through a full season, I mean

805
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:35.280
he's the closer of the of the
future for the Yankees, and maybe even

806
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.159
should be the closer right now with
what we've seen to be a little bit

807
01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:42.360
of a rollercoaster with a Roaldis Chapman. And plus I'm just not a huge

808
01:02:42.519 --> 01:02:46.639
Chapman fan, so little a little
biased there. But so Loisaca does just

809
01:02:46.800 --> 01:02:52.239
about everything right. He limits hard
contact if you're into expected dras his was

810
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:58.719
close to last year, that that
ultimately doesn't mean a whole lot. I'm

811
01:02:58.760 --> 01:03:00.480
aware of that, but I'm I'm
just I'm a big fan of guys who

812
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:05.760
can get strikeouts, who can limit
the hard contact when when people do make

813
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:10.000
contact. And another guy, I
think, who are we saying with Carlos

814
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:15.199
Fernandez right? Obviously who wise I
guess not a starter. But he throws

815
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:20.719
quite a few different pitches. I
mean, it's mostly sink or curveball,

816
01:03:20.800 --> 01:03:22.719
and you throw some changeups in there
as well, but mixes it up,

817
01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:29.000
you know, mixes up with with
fastball, sliders as well, just premo

818
01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:30.599
stuff. The one thing you got
to keep in mind with him, and

819
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:34.199
as far as I know right now, he's healthy. The one thing you

820
01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:37.840
gotta keep in mind is he's just
he just gets hurt he's been hurt on

821
01:03:37.920 --> 01:03:40.840
and off for a couple of years. I'm trying to pull up. I

822
01:03:42.119 --> 01:03:45.519
will look for it as we go. If you've got anything else to say

823
01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:47.679
about the why it's a good Joe, I do. I can look it

824
01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:52.039
up. But yeah, that's that's
the one thing that's always been so you

825
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:57.360
know, horrible for him. He's
just he just gets hurt. Yeah.

826
01:03:57.840 --> 01:04:00.880
So while not one of the greatest
dads, he still it's a useful one

827
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:03.039
to get the idea of who a
pitcher is, their kind of repertoire,

828
01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:09.960
and the batted ball profile of them. There are three pitchers with seventy innings

829
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:15.760
or more twenty twenty one who had
a groundball percentage or well, there's only

830
01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:18.599
two pitchers that had a higher groundball
percentage than the wis and that's Clay Holmes

831
01:04:19.199 --> 01:04:24.440
and Fram Ravaldis. Those are the
only two pitchers in the entire league who

832
01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:27.840
had a higher groundball percentage in there. So he is, you know,

833
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:30.639
really good at getting those ground like
getting keeping the ball on the ground with

834
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:35.920
a reliever. That's incredibly useful because
he can come into sticky situations and you

835
01:04:36.079 --> 01:04:40.239
know that more than half of the
time the ball is gonna end up on

836
01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:43.760
the ground. That's really cool to
see out of a guy like that,

837
01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:46.159
and that, you know, could
you know, potentially lead him if he's

838
01:04:46.159 --> 01:04:50.280
healthy to reach that seven beinning platform
again or that platform, but that's seven

839
01:04:50.360 --> 01:04:55.840
beinning you know, mark again,
which would be great out of any relief

840
01:04:55.880 --> 01:04:59.039
pitcher. And that's a lot of
points even if he's not getting saves.

841
01:05:00.719 --> 01:05:08.000
Absolutely love it, solid pick,
very good Joe Chris, Chris, Oh

842
01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:14.239
do you man? Alrighty Um,
I'm gonna round up my outfield with Matt

843
01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:23.320
Berley. Okay, Philadelphia. Currently
it looks as if he'll be, if

844
01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:29.360
not winning, but battling for that
center field starting starting job. He got

845
01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:32.239
a cup of coffee. I think
I had a September call up and he

846
01:05:32.639 --> 01:05:39.119
did really well. Um, he's
got flexibility into first base. Um,

847
01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:42.639
he's a combo platter kind of guy. He's gonna be batting at the bottom

848
01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:47.599
of the order if she does win
the job. But it's a high flute

849
01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:51.239
and offense. They're gonna be scoring
a lot of runs and I think he

850
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:55.800
is just going to flourish. You
know, he won't have to worry about

851
01:05:55.880 --> 01:06:00.000
hitting up early, and he'll be
moving around the order, um getting plenty

852
01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:03.840
of bad bad So I think it's
possible you can have a fifteen fifteen season

853
01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:10.480
if you're looking for a sixth outfielder
on your you know, including your bench.

854
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:14.119
I think he's definitely worth taking a
flyer on near the end of the

855
01:06:14.239 --> 01:06:18.639
draft. Wow. Wow, that's
that's awesome. Another guy that I don't

856
01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:21.159
really know much about. I love
how deep you're going with this man.

857
01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:29.360
Fantastic. That's some reason I really
like these That's that's why we're here.

858
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:32.639
This is this is awesome. Yeah, this is great. I think looking

859
01:06:32.679 --> 01:06:36.440
at upside of the guys here on
your list with Feeling and Endeavers and Hernand

860
01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:41.840
is brash. I mean there's probably
higher upside. I mean, I'm like,

861
01:06:42.239 --> 01:06:45.519
I've gone deep with a couple of
these guys, but they're like steadier

862
01:06:45.559 --> 01:06:47.800
you've got You've got high upside of
some of these guys I don't even know

863
01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:50.119
much about. I gotta do something. I gotta do some more deep Diamond

864
01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:54.599
into Bearling and McCormick too, is
another guy you mentioned I just don't know

865
01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:57.840
much about. I love it.
They're right, they're kind of similar actually,

866
01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:01.320
But yeah, where you head next
I'll go back to the bullpen.

867
01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:11.480
Taylor Rainey Washington Nationals. Um,
you know I started. He's another high

868
01:07:11.559 --> 01:07:15.079
k rate kind of guy. He
doesn't quite have the control of Art Warren,

869
01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:25.360
so his his K minus walk rate
isn't quite as outstanding. But he's

870
01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:29.480
and he's also not even going to
be the closer to begin the year Lightry,

871
01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:32.039
so keep that in mind when looking
at him. But I just think

872
01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:39.360
he's going to end up with the
job. I forget who it is ahead

873
01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:42.079
of him, to be honest,
off the top of my head, but

874
01:07:42.679 --> 01:07:48.360
um, someone who's not a fantasy
locked in closer, and so I think,

875
01:07:48.960 --> 01:07:53.000
um, as long as Rainy is
able to keep those walks in check,

876
01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:57.199
he'll end up taking over that job
and lock it down, hopefully by

877
01:07:57.239 --> 01:07:59.960
the end of the year. I
like it. It's Kyle, It's Kyle

878
01:08:00.199 --> 01:08:05.239
Finnigan, who, Yeah, who
I can confirm is Yeah, a decent

879
01:08:05.360 --> 01:08:09.760
picture but a little all over the
place, so yeah, I could definitely

880
01:08:09.800 --> 01:08:13.800
see that happening. That's that's another
guy I'm taking some notes on. I

881
01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:17.840
like that. I like it.
He's another save save hole type. I

882
01:08:17.920 --> 01:08:23.079
think he's almost a no brainer,
almost a no brainer. If that makes

883
01:08:23.079 --> 01:08:30.439
any sense, But yeah, sign
him up. Yep, sign yep.

884
01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:32.840
Joe back to you, all right, I'm gonna go with this is a

885
01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:35.720
repeat pick from last year. Actually, I've got a hold on you guys

886
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:41.880
right now. Draft strategy wis on
on the relief picture position. I'm the

887
01:08:41.960 --> 01:08:45.199
only one who can take a relief
picture still, so catcher because Chris can

888
01:08:45.239 --> 01:08:48.119
still take a catcher, even though
it comes back to me before it goes

889
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:54.279
back to Chris. But look at
the strategy strategy. Yeah, so instead

890
01:08:54.319 --> 01:08:57.039
of taking a reliever or instead of
taking a catcher or a relief pitcher,

891
01:08:57.079 --> 01:09:01.319
I'll take a catcher. So I'm
gonna take Ryan Jeffers. I don't know

892
01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:05.479
if you guys he's the catcher for
Minnesota. I picked him last year as

893
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:09.640
my catcher, and he actually had
a pretty solid year. He had like

894
01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:13.239
three hundred plate appearances. His OBP
was really bad because he just had a

895
01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:16.800
really bad like batting average he had
under two hundred. But I don't foresee

896
01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:19.720
that to happen. It was really
his first real cup of tea in the

897
01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:24.840
majors. But he hit fourteen home
runs and only like three hundred plate appearances

898
01:09:25.239 --> 01:09:28.960
and most of the projection systems currently
only have him slated for three hundred plate

899
01:09:29.000 --> 01:09:31.399
appearances. But I don't know if
you guys know the catcher, like the

900
01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:38.279
backup quote unquote catcher Minnesota is,
but it's Gary Sanchez. Yeah, you

901
01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:41.399
guys might have heard of him.
So I'm not sure how that's gonna go

902
01:09:41.560 --> 01:09:45.640
with the whole backup thing. So
I expect Jeffers is the main guy there

903
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:49.359
with very little to come back like
around him. I don't presume that they're

904
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:53.960
going to be you know, Sanchez
will catch, but I think that Jeffers

905
01:09:54.000 --> 01:09:56.840
will get a lot. So I
think that the projections are underselling him right

906
01:09:56.880 --> 01:09:59.479
now. But even so, in
those three hundred plate appearances, they're still

907
01:09:59.479 --> 01:10:02.880
tagging him about fifteen home runs.
And I just really like his Like,

908
01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:06.199
you know, his head tool is
raw, just as raw tools in general,

909
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:09.880
I think really will play well.
He's not going to be a high

910
01:10:09.880 --> 01:10:13.680
batting average guy, but I wouldn't
be surprised if he's able to develop into

911
01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:16.239
that a little bit because it's just
how much power he has. I'd love

912
01:10:16.319 --> 01:10:19.199
to see him find some extra you
know, batting average in there. But

913
01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:23.399
at the worst case, I think
this is a twenty home run catcher,

914
01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:29.439
maybe even more if he breaks out. Wow, you did snipe me for

915
01:10:29.560 --> 01:10:38.439
the record. Yes, this late
in the draft. That's brutal. Well.

916
01:10:39.039 --> 01:10:43.800
So I'm up next any of the
first basement and outfielder. I'm going

917
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:49.760
to go back to somebody that I
have drafted quite a bit, especially in

918
01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:55.159
OBP leagues, which I think are
also very good, good guys for points

919
01:10:55.239 --> 01:11:00.279
leagues. It's Carlos Santana, a
guy that just doesn't strike out much at

920
01:11:00.319 --> 01:11:01.319
all, and I think is a
better hitter. I'm trying to pull his

921
01:11:01.359 --> 01:11:04.800
stats here against I think he's a
much better hitter than he was. You

922
01:11:04.880 --> 01:11:11.680
know that he and he showed last
season, let's say. Unfortunately, actually

923
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:14.319
the last two years I have not
been great twenty twenty, which I give

924
01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:16.800
you a little bit of a pass. Unfortunately, it was an eighty three

925
01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:24.479
w RC plus guy in twenty twenty
one that was in one hundred and fifty

926
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:28.640
eight games and six hundred fifty nine
plate appearances, which is wild, but

927
01:11:28.760 --> 01:11:32.279
almost a one to one walked a
strikeout and can hit twenty home runs and

928
01:11:33.079 --> 01:11:40.119
ADP is what is it this year
for twenty seven I'll take it. I

929
01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:44.720
was tempted to go back to the
Evan white Well, but I have learned

930
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:47.079
from my mistakes. I will not
be going, at least for this draft.

931
01:11:47.439 --> 01:11:53.199
In real life, I may go
back to the Evan white Well at

932
01:11:53.279 --> 01:11:56.279
some point, but not for this
draft. And for my last outfielder,

933
01:11:56.319 --> 01:11:59.359
I'm gonna go with Lorenzo Kane.
I do I think is going to be

934
01:11:59.479 --> 01:12:04.960
a another top two hundred hitter,
maybe top one fifty, maybe if if,

935
01:12:05.119 --> 01:12:11.600
if we're lucky, Steel's Homer's good
I mean good late Rhodo guy as

936
01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:17.119
well. Because of that, I
know that I feel like the Brewer's outfield

937
01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:21.239
is a little crowded right now?
Am I thinking of the right Am I

938
01:12:21.279 --> 01:12:26.319
thinking of the right place? I
know that Tyrone Taylor got a little bit

939
01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:31.159
of run last year, and Kess
and Hira is is switching things up and

940
01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:36.399
having a pretty decent spring from what
I understand. And Kane can also He's

941
01:12:36.439 --> 01:12:40.239
been known to get hurt a little
bit. He's thirty six years old now,

942
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:43.479
so he can't be running in the
walls as much as he used to,

943
01:12:44.199 --> 01:12:46.399
I would think. But somebody that
I have drafted before, and I

944
01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:53.720
am still confident in having a top
well, let's say top one with the

945
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:58.159
top hundred fifty, top hundred and
forty hitter season in my opinion points wise,

946
01:13:00.159 --> 01:13:03.840
all right, Joe last pick man, All right, going with a

947
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:11.840
high floor guy. Um, Alex
Collaming, Hell yeah, he's had over

948
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.720
ten saves. I think let's see
his lowest number. Yeah, the lowest

949
01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:17.880
number of saves over the last since
like twenty sixteen, it is twelve.

950
01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:23.279
Um. So he's consistent in terms
of, you know, just get the

951
01:13:23.399 --> 01:13:25.920
job done. He's always going to
find himself in the back end of the

952
01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:30.239
bullpen. Signed a one year deal
with my favorite team to draft from.

953
01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:33.279
That is the Colorado Rockies. Um, and that boat. And I don't

954
01:13:33.319 --> 01:13:36.359
know if you guys have seen it, there's no competition. If he lows

955
01:13:36.439 --> 01:13:42.119
saves, it doesn't matter. They're
gonna they're except for your team, except

956
01:13:42.119 --> 01:13:45.000
for my team, because your fantasy
team. Yeah, I guess for my

957
01:13:45.079 --> 01:13:47.560
fantasy team. It's not great.
But um, you know, I'm not

958
01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:51.000
too concerned about it. I don't
think that pitching Colorado's big of a deal

959
01:13:51.039 --> 01:13:54.439
with some people make it out to
be. It is, you know,

960
01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:57.520
a knock, But I think that
the idea of you know, a guy

961
01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:00.560
who could get thirty saves. This
late in the draft is really cool,

962
01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:03.600
especially when you have you know,
guys like you know, Ryce Lacis at

963
01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:08.560
Diaz and all those guys going in
the top and you know, hundred versus

964
01:14:08.600 --> 01:14:13.560
this guy who's way past three hundred, and you know, you can potentially,

965
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:15.760
I mean he's past four hundred,
but could potentially get you some saves

966
01:14:15.800 --> 01:14:18.640
and that's a great upside. And
if he gets traded at the deadline,

967
01:14:18.680 --> 01:14:27.119
that's even better, even better.
Talk about a roller coaster. But yes,

968
01:14:27.199 --> 01:14:31.520
I hear you at the upside of
saves and this late twenty two that's

969
01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:35.880
all we're really doing. We're just
speculating, all right, close us out,

970
01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:41.880
Chris, last pick of the draft, all right, So the most

971
01:14:42.079 --> 01:14:45.600
exciting pick of the draft, too, right is the catcher. So I

972
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:50.880
gotta stick with my second catcher from
the TGFBI, and that's Louis Thorns.

973
01:14:51.560 --> 01:14:58.199
Um, I realize he might not
be getting the thing mont Beth and I

974
01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:02.680
thought he would one, and I
drafted him. Now after the trade acquisitions

975
01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:09.159
the Mariners have grabbed, but um, he'll be splitting time between catcher and

976
01:15:09.279 --> 01:15:15.760
Dhu, maybe even leaning more towards
the DH rotation. Um, he's got

977
01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:21.680
thump in that stick for sure.
Um he had fifteen last year. UM

978
01:15:23.479 --> 01:15:29.359
ex of velocity, of pax of
velocity is in the top. Um,

979
01:15:30.079 --> 01:15:33.239
he's if he's going to be able
to get a full season of at bats,

980
01:15:33.720 --> 01:15:40.720
he'll twenty plus home runs. You
know, we talked about playing time.

981
01:15:41.000 --> 01:15:45.000
He might not have that playing time
with the depth that the Mariners have

982
01:15:45.079 --> 01:15:48.079
acquired, but he's still going to
be a league average bat in my opinion,

983
01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:55.000
and at catcher, especially this late
in the draft. Your second catcher

984
01:15:55.079 --> 01:16:00.680
getting the league average bat or better. Very valid. Oh absolutely, I

985
01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:05.079
like him a lot. I like
Louis Torrens, right, I think I

986
01:16:05.119 --> 01:16:09.680
think you're right too. I think
you should get more plate appearances than somebody,

987
01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:13.960
like who do they have, like
Tom Murphy somebody. Yeah he's there,

988
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:16.960
he's slated as their starter. Yeah. I don't think Torrens is as

989
01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:20.520
good at calling a game, managing
the game right back there, So that's

990
01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:26.319
where that fallout happens. Well,
that's a consideration. So we don't take

991
01:16:26.399 --> 01:16:30.039
those stats, you know, down
on paper, but it's consideration for getting

992
01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:34.039
guys out of the field. Heck, yeah, close out our draft.

993
01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:36.239
How many picks is that one,
two, three, four, US six.

994
01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:41.079
I don't know thirty something picks in
there. I could count that up

995
01:16:41.159 --> 01:16:43.880
later and I may even tweet this
out. Are you guys okay if I

996
01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:47.439
tweet this board out? Yeah,
everybody can see. Definitely get some conversation

997
01:16:47.520 --> 01:16:53.800
going and get after the pod though, yeah, oh yeah after you got

998
01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:58.199
to tune into the pod first.
And you never see who is drafted third

999
01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:03.000
see never guess I should say you
will see. I'm a bad I'm a

1000
01:17:03.079 --> 01:17:09.079
bad click mate writer. Hey,
there are worse things. There are worse

1001
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:14.760
things, all right, excellent work
everybody. We have two listener questions from

1002
01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:18.840
my wife and my aunt. Who
we have and we have a draft next

1003
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:26.119
Saturday, seven days from now,
and my wife Jordan chimes in here.

1004
01:17:26.159 --> 01:17:29.560
But the first question, who are
you taking? If you have the third

1005
01:17:29.640 --> 01:17:32.079
pick in an eight team head to
head league as the league I mentioned earlier

1006
01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:35.800
to our home league, and I
am doing everything I can to win this

1007
01:17:35.920 --> 01:17:40.119
league. I know she is as
well, so give her give her all

1008
01:17:40.119 --> 01:17:43.239
the good advice. You have a
third pick, who are you taking?

1009
01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:49.600
Oh? If it depends, I
guess if you know, if lad Junior

1010
01:17:49.680 --> 01:17:54.159
is available, take him if wants
to pretty much like if you have the

1011
01:17:54.239 --> 01:17:58.199
third pick, it's like, what
Glad, Junior One, Soto and Shoho

1012
01:17:58.239 --> 01:18:01.520
Tani, whoever is available out of
those three, Um, presumably those guys

1013
01:18:01.640 --> 01:18:05.840
would go in the top three.
Um, I'm not sure you know who

1014
01:18:05.880 --> 01:18:10.720
else would go, you know,
instead of them. If somebody else doesn't,

1015
01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:13.760
then you gotta take your picks from
the bunch. My preference is like

1016
01:18:13.880 --> 01:18:17.840
probably Sodo Otani and then Flad.
Um but Otani and Lad really just comes

1017
01:18:17.880 --> 01:18:20.640
in a personal preference. But I
definitely think some of those number one.

1018
01:18:21.960 --> 01:18:26.479
I like those three as well,
and I agree with you on Soto if

1019
01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:29.680
if he's there, Yeah, I
was gonna say, do you think who

1020
01:18:29.720 --> 01:18:33.760
do you think's going to then?
Oh yeah, Trey, I forgot about

1021
01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:38.119
him. Oh yeah, But this
is a this is so this is a

1022
01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:42.880
head to head points league, right, So I think i'd still go.

1023
01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:49.800
I would still go Soto and Lad
maybe Garrett cole I love great, I

1024
01:18:49.920 --> 01:18:55.640
like I like cole In in these
leagues and like the Ace pictures get sucked

1025
01:18:55.720 --> 01:19:01.079
up quick. So it's between those
four for me. Ol Otani and I

1026
01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:03.439
don't I mean, I have the
eighth pick in this draft or no,

1027
01:19:03.680 --> 01:19:05.640
wait, a second, I think
I have the first pick. Jeez,

1028
01:19:06.039 --> 01:19:10.680
I don't know. I don't know
a lot I'm gonna turn. I gotta

1029
01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:13.560
figure out where. Yeah, I
probably will go. I'll probably go Sodo,

1030
01:19:13.680 --> 01:19:15.880
and and I know that if I
went Otani, then I have a

1031
01:19:16.039 --> 01:19:20.960
much higher ceiling there right because of
hitting it pitching. I just why am

1032
01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:26.439
I thinking it's such a chicken when
it comes to well, yeah, I

1033
01:19:26.439 --> 01:19:29.680
think that's what I'm gonna do.
Yeah. Now for for Bobby, I

1034
01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:32.479
would say, um, if Garrett
Cole is available, that's a great pick

1035
01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:36.640
there at six at six, Yeah, yeah, I love Coal like I

1036
01:19:36.760 --> 01:19:42.239
love taking Cole earlier on in the
first round. Um, I haven't gotten

1037
01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:44.560
the chance to really do that.
Actually I did it in the league that

1038
01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:47.039
I'm just starting it up. But
um, I really like the idea of

1039
01:19:47.079 --> 01:19:49.960
being able to take cold first round. A lot of my projections have him

1040
01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:54.359
just far and away better than the
rest of the pictures that you could be

1041
01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:58.279
taking in the first or second round. Um, which I think is you

1042
01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:00.840
know, really great. Whereas with
the position players, a lot of them

1043
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:02.880
are kind of like grouped up together, like we're just talking with like the

1044
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:10.239
Otani's them, the sodostive lads and
traders of the world, and even Bobischett

1045
01:20:10.279 --> 01:20:14.359
maybe you can add it to that
conversation, right, what about you,

1046
01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:17.640
Chris, I'm actually my own question
is I'm curious to see how far like

1047
01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:25.039
Fernando Tatis drafts oh in one in
a league I'm in right now that we're

1048
01:20:25.119 --> 01:20:29.159
drafting. It's a redraft league.
Um, he's like, it's like pick

1049
01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:33.800
and eighty and he's still available.
Really, yeah, it's just the injury

1050
01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:36.479
concerned. It's just it's just we
don't know what it's gonna happen, what's

1051
01:20:36.479 --> 01:20:41.359
gonna happen here. It's just you
can't be wasting one of your top like

1052
01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:45.359
picks in a redraft league on a
speculative pick like that. If it works

1053
01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:47.439
out, then like great, good
for you, But like, personally,

1054
01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:51.680
I'm just not taking that risk so
early on, I'm probably gonna in most

1055
01:20:51.720 --> 01:20:56.880
of my redraft leagues, I'm probably
not taking Tatis since early if we haven't

1056
01:20:56.880 --> 01:21:00.800
already drafted, well, yeah,
I wouldn't think this are I'm just yeah,

1057
01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:03.600
I'll be honest. I this year
was the first time I've done a

1058
01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:09.760
redraft in probably ten years. I've
been all dynasty or a keeper league.

1059
01:21:10.840 --> 01:21:15.359
So this is like a whole new
world when I can discuss. I don't

1060
01:21:15.359 --> 01:21:20.039
know what to do with him.
He's there's almost an argument to be made

1061
01:21:20.079 --> 01:21:25.880
to draft him fairly early and then
to dash him on your il in this

1062
01:21:26.079 --> 01:21:29.079
kind of small league, right,
because then you can do that and then

1063
01:21:29.159 --> 01:21:33.079
still go out and maybe like get
a good shortstop to take you know,

1064
01:21:33.239 --> 01:21:36.239
take his place, right, because
there's only like in a small league like

1065
01:21:36.319 --> 01:21:42.319
this was only two hundred players drafted, so there's still guys, you know,

1066
01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:46.960
post ADP, post two hundred ADP, like good players to fit in

1067
01:21:47.159 --> 01:21:51.319
in your lineup. I don't know, though, I that being said,

1068
01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:56.960
you ought to be really confident and
who you're picking later on, you know

1069
01:21:57.039 --> 01:22:00.239
that you can still get somebody that's
anywhere close to him and then hope he

1070
01:22:00.319 --> 01:22:02.600
comes back stronger than ever, which
he's proven to be able to do quite

1071
01:22:02.600 --> 01:22:06.479
a few times. After getting hurt
with his shoulder and whatever, you know,

1072
01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:10.159
whatever else that was what he struggled
with last year. He just comes

1073
01:22:10.199 --> 01:22:14.800
back and starts mashingdingers again. But
I don't know, it's risky, It's

1074
01:22:14.880 --> 01:22:17.800
pretty risky, and at any point, you know, they could announce that

1075
01:22:17.920 --> 01:22:21.840
he's getting surgery and he could be
out for even more of a year or

1076
01:22:24.039 --> 01:22:27.560
or actually I should say additional surgery, right because he didn't I believe he

1077
01:22:27.640 --> 01:22:30.720
had surgery on his wrist. So
yeah, that's a that's a tough one.

1078
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:32.560
I'll keep you guys posted, though, I'll let you know where I'm

1079
01:22:32.760 --> 01:22:40.359
tea time too. Heck yeah,
all right, thank you guys again,

1080
01:22:40.479 --> 01:22:45.960
Thank you for being here. Chris
awesome. I hope everything is still going

1081
01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:47.880
well over there. I hope everybody's
still you know, happy in the background.

1082
01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:51.800
Kiddos are doing okay, Joe.
I hope your cats are doing okay.

1083
01:22:53.319 --> 01:22:56.520
What's everybody's what's what's everybody working on
right now? They're working? And

1084
01:22:56.560 --> 01:22:59.960
where can they Where can everybody finds
you on Twitter? Chris? We'll start

1085
01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:08.199
with you them. My Twitter handle
is not not c knock that. Uh.

1086
01:23:08.920 --> 01:23:11.319
I don't know why I came up
with it, and I was a

1087
01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:15.039
I was I was not active on
Twitter for many years. I've had it

1088
01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:19.439
for a while, and until I
got this gig of writing, you know,

1089
01:23:19.560 --> 01:23:23.800
I wasn't ever really using it.
Now I'm out there trying to flaunt

1090
01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:26.960
it as much as I can.
So that's where you can find me.

1091
01:23:27.560 --> 01:23:32.279
UM. I'm doing a somewhat consistent
piece. It just dropped today on the

1092
01:23:32.640 --> 01:23:39.399
on Dynasty Grew dot com UH with
Colin from our team, and we're looking

1093
01:23:39.479 --> 01:23:46.720
at some contact UH prospects, contact
oriented oriented season in prospects and potential power

1094
01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:55.119
breakouts. Kind of the ny PE
method of trying to identify vinyps before they

1095
01:23:55.199 --> 01:24:00.640
start popping UM and like the NIP
method. That's awesome. That's Colin.

1096
01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:03.600
He's got he's coming up with,
trying to come up with catchy name,

1097
01:24:03.640 --> 01:24:10.560
and we want to make sure that
it's that Vinnie continues to pop U to

1098
01:24:10.720 --> 01:24:14.800
make sure that there before we name
it. I hope I didn't. You

1099
01:24:14.840 --> 01:24:16.760
know. We gotta get we gotta
get calling on and we can have a

1100
01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:20.720
CPM and a VPM episode. We
just we can just combine it all into

1101
01:24:20.760 --> 01:24:24.600
one. See a little. It'll
be a combo what is that? A

1102
01:24:24.680 --> 01:24:29.920
combo machine and a BP method.
We'll just we'll do it all in one

1103
01:24:30.039 --> 01:24:33.600
go. I dig it. Excellent? All right, check out Chris and

1104
01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:38.560
stuff. He's actually man. You
were posting your rankings all throughout the off

1105
01:24:38.600 --> 01:24:41.000
season. I love that you got
a lot of great it seems like you

1106
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:45.119
got a lot of great interaction and
some good conversation. There's so worth checking

1107
01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:48.560
him out on Twitter. Absolutely.
What about you, Joe, Are you

1108
01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:53.199
working on anything? Yeah, the
d Gramm Reports coming out soon. Just

1109
01:24:53.279 --> 01:24:56.520
working out the last settle kinks of
it, so that'll be coming out and

1110
01:24:56.640 --> 01:25:00.279
trying to get through I'm trying to
get through most of my drafts u these

1111
01:25:00.319 --> 01:25:03.399
like the first little bits where these
guys are available before doing that last year

1112
01:25:03.399 --> 01:25:06.079
that it came out a little bit
early, and I think and I'm also

1113
01:25:06.199 --> 01:25:11.000
learning the repercussions of being a public
facing figure, of being in drafts and

1114
01:25:11.159 --> 01:25:14.760
talking about guys she'll like, so
like, it's getting to my head a

1115
01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:17.960
little bit, so lost to see
where that goes. It is very weird

1116
01:25:19.800 --> 01:25:25.439
attempting to give out advice but then
also like people listening and then taking that

1117
01:25:25.520 --> 01:25:29.439
advice and then ye're pissing me off
because they're doing that. I mean,

1118
01:25:29.479 --> 01:25:33.039
it's like weirdly rewarding, you know, especially when that advice, especially when

1119
01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:35.800
it's a good advice, which is
you know, hit or miss, where

1120
01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:40.319
we all like you're speculating in a
lot of this stuff, right, It's

1121
01:25:40.359 --> 01:25:43.000
it's kind of rewarding. It's also
like I want to punch a wall.

1122
01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:45.319
You know sometimes as well, especially
it's in a slow draft and you're like

1123
01:25:45.479 --> 01:25:50.399
waiting for hours and then you get
sniped after you've been waiting to pick this

1124
01:25:50.560 --> 01:25:54.239
guy. But you know you recommended
him on a podcast the other day.

1125
01:25:54.239 --> 01:25:58.279
It's like you've you've you've got you
literally you have to be kidding me anyway.

1126
01:25:58.359 --> 01:26:01.239
Yeah, good stuff, good stuff. Check out Joe. That's that

1127
01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:04.880
