00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.760
Greetings and salutations every one. A
Rich Wilson walking too Fantasy Baseball Live.

2
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.039
Today is the fourth February, about
three point thirty in the afternoon. As

3
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.560
always, I'm here with my good
buddy mister Tim mccleoll. Tim, how's

4
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:40.679
it hanging? It? Barely is
today? Rich? It's starting pitcher Sunday,

5
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.079
so we know what sort of chaos
that brings. But something different happened

6
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.759
with the intro. I heard it
loud and clear. That's unusual for me.

7
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.359
It isn't know what's going on.
Hopefully it's not a it's not a

8
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.679
harbinger of problems. But no,
I heard the intro tune and everything clear

9
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.600
as well today. Yeah, that's
very odd. Yeah, why is that?

10
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.359
Because we were I did a test
recording, so we're okay there.

11
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.920
I don't know, don't I don't
see why that would be. Yeah,

12
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.359
we are we recording. We are
recording. I mean yeah, I don't

13
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.840
want to stop the recording otherwise you
got to do it all over again.

14
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.280
So yeah, I know how your
day is going. Yeah, chaos,

15
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.879
chaos, and just a bit more
chaos. Yeah. I've got the four

16
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.200
four Dynasty leagues all drafting at the
same time before we came in the air.

17
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.480
I had to make two picks,
and then I made the decision.

18
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:38.040
Something really annoyed me. So one
of our Patreon members said, hey,

19
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.040
wouldn't it be nice to analyze all
these six new dynasty leagues and be able

20
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.120
to like to see which ones are
going where and so forth. I said,

21
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.799
that's a really good idea. So
I go over to fan tracks and

22
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.439
it's got you know, I go
to the draft results. It's got a

23
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.439
little button called download. You download
the results. It puts it in a

24
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.959
nice spreadsheet. I'm like, this
is great. So I'll be able to

25
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.799
link everything and to tell you exactly
where, who went where and so forth.

26
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.360
And I go, let me see
what CBS is nothing buckus nothing to

27
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.759
him, they got nothing. So
I go, this just this, that

28
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.800
was the straw that broke the camel's
back. I go, I'm done.

29
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.960
I'm done with CBS. We're moving. So I send out an email we're

30
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:25.759
moving, we're moving. I like
enough, I mean enough already, I

31
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.479
mean that's like common stuff to download
results and be able to like you can't

32
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.000
even do anything. So I just
said, yeah, it's if they put

33
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:39.120
it out there and it's almost like
they they don't care, like it's they

34
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.400
just have an updated that's that's something
that is. You know, modern systems

35
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.439
software allows you to download stuff.
I mean, what's wrong with that?

36
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.240
And they just haven't updated any years
and it's it's just it's just no good.

37
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.159
It's so when you can't do like
basic kind of administration, it's it's

38
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.840
time to move on. So send
out a note to two of the leagues

39
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.599
five and six and said, hey, who's with me? So and I

40
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.759
don't even even an old guy like
me. Okay, I've gone from control

41
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:15.800
C, Control V to control F. Now if I can handle strategic moves

42
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.319
of that nature, okay, you
know the big gun's got to be able

43
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.439
to do at least something, right, Yeah, so so, so I've

44
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.400
already set up both leagues, or
I set up one league and I copied

45
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:30.599
in one one team and it all
looks good. So I just slurp the

46
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.800
rest of the teams in in the
next couple of days and send the invites

47
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.000
out and bit bam zally everybody will
be in. We'll be ready to roll.

48
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.439
So I'm pretty excited to them.
So yeah, no, I don't

49
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.080
blame you. You don't when you're
running multiple leagues. When you're running a

50
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.800
league, you don't need headaches.
When you're running multiple leagues, it just

51
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.960
takes headaches times however many leagues you're
running, and the smoother, the smoother

52
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:59.080
the operation from a commissioner's perspective,
the better off it really is. You

53
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:00.759
know, you can always spend so
many hours in the day, days and

54
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.439
the week, weeks and a month
and on and on and on. Right,

55
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.560
Yeah, yeah, I wrote a
note to everybody. I mean,

56
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:12.560
look, CBS used to be the
best in the business, big corporate entity.

57
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:14.800
They had big layoffs a number of
years go. I mean, the

58
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.560
same thing could happen with fan tracks
and you don't know, but at the

59
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.560
moment, they're ten years, twenty
years ahead of them. They're probably ten

60
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.240
years ahead of them. I mean, so even if they get sold and

61
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.680
decide to get rid of everybody will
be so far ahead for the next five

62
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.680
to ten years it just makes sense
to move on. So that's what we're

63
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.560
doing, ten moving on. Yeah. Well, and you know, because

64
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.639
I do several leagues, a couple
of leagues on on Roto, I gotta

65
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.079
be honest with you. En Roto
does a great job as well, I

66
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.920
was going through the player pool and
some of the deeper players, and they

67
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.399
got a lot of them listed ones
that CBS doesn't. And again, there

68
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:56.240
are there are, There are a
lot of options out there. Yeah,

69
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.279
and if you're not happy with what
you're getting from one explore look around.

70
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.360
You might find something out there,
much the same as you just recently have

71
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.399
with fans. You might find something
out there that works for you. The

72
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:13.720
thing I find amazing with CBS this
this software bug has been there for five

73
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:18.319
years. So when you manually add
a player to a person's team, little

74
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.439
diyewalk box comes up and it says
what team do you want to put him

75
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:26.079
to? And what's the player's name? And you do all that and you

76
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.920
say put the player onto It works
perfectly. The next guy that requested.

77
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:35.240
If you haven't closed down the draft
room and you do it again, it

78
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.759
looks like it's putting the guy the
Newton, next guy in. It doesn't.

79
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.399
It repeats the previous guy that you
just put in. So let's say

80
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.120
you put oh, dear lord,
I didn't know that. Oh yeah,

81
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.879
that's if you miss a step in
there, then you got wrong people on

82
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.800
wrong people over the place. Oh
dear, and I've said that. They

83
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.160
say I can go back to twenty
eighteen when I sent the original like,

84
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.040
hey, there's a problem here,
and they say, yes, we're aware

85
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.959
of it, and they haven't fixed. It's like it's only it's only six

86
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:11.199
years. I'm sure there IT department
is swamped right. Well, if there

87
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.160
is an IT department, that's just
it. I mean I think there might

88
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:15.600
not be. But anyway, nobody
wants to hear us complain, hear me

89
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.319
complain about uh stuff. So how's
your week been, mister McLeod. We

90
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.240
just talked yesterday, so I guess
I know, yeah, yeah, yeah,

91
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:29.759
pretty much the same as yesterday.
Get her take. It's been busy,

92
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.560
busy, It's been hectic. I'm
I'm starting to uh get to the

93
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.759
stage where I'm organizing everything I'm involved
in. I've got dates set up and

94
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.519
just getting my my timetable for the
you know, the last two weeks of

95
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.959
February into March, just trying to
get things straightened around because, uh,

96
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:57.240
with the schedule starting early this year
in Korea, you know a lot of

97
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.759
people want to have it done before
the twenty twenty twenty first of March.

98
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.360
Yeah, so it's good. Really. Yeah. Yeah, it's got to

99
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.360
be done a little early. And
that's one thing I've noticed. I think

100
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.319
I noticed it with fan tracks today. A lot of them have the seasons

101
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.759
starting in twenty ninth. That is
twenty eight, that's correct. You have

102
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.680
to go back and out. That's
very important for everybody to know that.

103
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.839
Go check your providers. They are
starting the season of the proper season date,

104
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.120
not when the Padres and Dodgers play. You have to go and adjust

105
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.879
the schedule. I just did that
with all the leagues. Absolutely. Yeah.

106
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.199
It wouldn't allow me to do it
fan tracks in that one league I'm

107
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.639
setting up right now. So I
don't know what. I don't know how

108
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:39.399
that's gonna work. It make me, make me a co commissioner. I'll

109
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.720
go in there and wack it for
you. I know all. I have

110
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.800
the mysteries. I know how to
do that. Yeah, I know,

111
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.720
I'll certainly. I'll certainly make you
actually have to hit the little calendar icon

112
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.759
next to the date. You can't
actually type it in where it has the

113
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.480
date in there. There's a little
calendar. I click that on and it'

114
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:03.800
select the date. Oh okay,
well I will I will name you cool

115
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:11.240
commission. I know what I know. Sometimes when does it when do shut

116
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.079
up? As compared to standing up? I'm not going to stand up for

117
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.480
that one at all. But again
it's something important because hey, if you

118
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.040
only want one hundred and sixty games
of the Dodgers and Padres, that's one

119
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.839
way to get it done, isn't
it. Yeah, it's it's yeah,

120
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.000
you gotta, you gotta, you
gotta. I think the default was a

121
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.200
mistake. It should be the twenty
for everybody. But I'll show you how

122
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.320
to do that. Tim It's uh
because at first I went in to try

123
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.480
to type it into the data.
Didn't work. But uh, I don't

124
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.799
know. That's wrote. I wrote
software for a living, Timmy, so

125
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.919
I could kind of know how stuff
works, and like, okay, why

126
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.279
didn't that work? What else?
What else are they trying to do here,

127
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.720
Timmy, let's talk Let's talk baseball. Yeah, baseball, Yeah,

128
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.080
A couple of three little additions.
I think the first thing I know this

129
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.279
isn't particularly fantasy baseball related, but
I think somewhat is, and that is

130
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.120
The Angelo's family has agreed to sell
the Orioles to a group headed by David

131
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.159
Rubinstein. Who is is owns the
carl who's the founder of the Carli Group.

132
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.720
You don't know if you know them. They're big private equity firm.

133
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.879
They're worth billions and billions of dollars, a very famous guy. And the

134
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.240
ownership group also includes Cal Ripken,
includes Mike Bloomberg who was a former mayor

135
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.720
and runs the Bloomberg Network, et
cetera. So they got some big hitters

136
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.320
there, and but they only sold
I've put all my I've put all my

137
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:39.360
money into old stereo equipment for this, So let's let's tell it for new

138
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.120
listeners. It was funny. We
were I don't know how we got off

139
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.639
on this. And Tim's mom gave
him a lot of money. It was

140
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.080
like two thousand dollars right back in
the sixties or seventies. Correct, it

141
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.039
was back in the early seventies,
about three thousand bucks. Yeah, and

142
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.240
which is probably worth I think I
did the how much it's worth that it's

143
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.840
worth a lot of them A couple
did. Tim invested. Now he bought

144
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:11.480
a stereo, which is so awesome. Come on, Richard, you're you

145
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.799
know right, you're a musician,
You've you're interview. Yeah, it's yeah,

146
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.720
it's I know, it's what you
do when you're seventeen eighteen years old,

147
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.799
right, and then you get this
jerk Rich Wilson, it's gone.

148
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.399
Let's see how much that's really worth. It was like forty thousand dollars or

149
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.480
something years like that. What's like, Oh my gosh, Hey, come

150
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.320
on, I got at least fifteen
hundred cash sitting there. Baby. That's

151
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.919
true. Hey, you know it
could be a classic. You know,

152
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.000
you might be able to, I
don't know, get some some I'm sure

153
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.320
collector would would buy an old stereo
like that if it's a good shape.

154
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.120
Who knows, I got I got
my fingers crossed at Joe Bonamassa at some

155
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.399
point in time just used to collect
more than just guitars. Is that you

156
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.360
have the guitars he has? Yeah, six hundred plus six hundred six nuts.

157
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.080
Anyway, So back to the Angelos. You know, they don't completely

158
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.600
sell it until Peter Angelos dies,
you know, passes away. He's ninety

159
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.799
four now, not in good health. It probably will be in the next

160
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.919
few years, you hope longer for
his sake. But it feels like,

161
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.159
at least you if you're an Orioles
fan, it could be just as worse.

162
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.799
I don't think it can be any
worse than it is now. But

163
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.759
I think it's a good thing.
With all of that talent on there,

164
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.759
maybe they'll be able to retain them, maybe they'll be able to add to

165
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.120
the team. What was your thinking
when you heard the news. I was

166
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:43.679
happy for Oriol fans, long suffering
Oriol fans. Any group going in there,

167
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.480
I think is going to be an
improvement. And you know, hey,

168
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:52.000
maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe
it isn't a coincidence, but within

169
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.120
what forty eight hours of the announcement, they have a top ten starting pitcher

170
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.240
heading in their direction, and either
way, coincidence not I I have a

171
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.519
hard time believing that even the Angels
family would make a deal of that nature.

172
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.840
Okay, so i'm I'm I'm giving
I'm giving credit to the new ownership

173
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.919
group and if they're not deserving.
I did a little math, Tommy by

174
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:24.240
adding in Cormyn Burns fifteen point six
million dollar paycheck for this upcoming season,

175
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.120
which actually isn't a whole lot of
money for a guy of his calendar,

176
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.879
which I found to be pretty fascinating. That's that's an increase of twenty five

177
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:35.039
percent of their payroll. So that's
a that's a big change. You know,

178
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.000
the end, the Angel's family wouldn't
have done it. They wouldn't have

179
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.159
done that. It was shocking,
but they did the you know that,

180
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.639
they did the Craik Kimbrel thing.
So I bet you that they're not done

181
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.399
yet. I bet you the Orioles
are not done. No. I I'm

182
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.919
liking what I'm seeing, and especially
for fans of the Orioles, they've suffered

183
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:01.440
for a while. They're in they're
in a situation where they should be ecstatic

184
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.960
about the future when you look at
you know, the players already on the

185
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.879
team, the players waiting in the
wings, you know, the kids,

186
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.600
et cetera, et cetera, and
with that cloud of you know, hey,

187
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.120
they couldn't even they couldn't even get
through the first wave without mentioning,

188
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.639
well, it's going to be tough
to afford these guys in the future.

189
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.679
I don't care how you approach the
game. If you have to, if

190
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.039
that is the way you're going to
play, you don't make that announcement to

191
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.639
your fan base. I know.
Yeah, that was that was callous and

192
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.519
not very well thought out. At
all. It showed an arrogance that I

193
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.639
didn't really like, and I'm I'm
happy for Orio fans really. Yeah.

194
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.399
Now, on the other side of
the coin, they got a lot of

195
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:50.279
Bars clients. I mean, Corbyn
Burns being one, Corman Burns, Jackson

196
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.159
Holiday, Adlie Ruschman, Gunder Henderson
might be their four best players. So

197
00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:00.759
it's it's and we know that Scott
Bars takes his guys to free agency,

198
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.440
so you know it might not in
the in the end do them any good

199
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.840
at least short term as these guys
come up for free agency, that they

200
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.000
might lose most of not all of
them. But I think long term it's

201
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.440
a good thing. Yeah, And
you know what, I agree that that's

202
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:22.600
that is traditionally the way Boris operates. But you know, hey, if

203
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.240
an offer is made to Gunner Henderson
for three hundred million plus tomorrow, I

204
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:35.120
hey, as strong as Scott Borris
might feel, Gunner Henderson might feel a

205
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:41.879
little differently. Sure. Yeah,
And that's that's big money. And I

206
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.639
think it's easy to say with the
former with the Angelos family, right,

207
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.840
those offers wouldn't be there anyway,
So it's a non issue at least now

208
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.840
moving forward, there's a possibility that
it can be an issue. But Ronald

209
00:14:54.840 --> 00:15:00.960
o'counya kind of signed for what two
hundred million dollars up the same time.

210
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.200
I gain it's been a few years, but I think Ronald Acunyo is considered

211
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.559
the far better player. So I
don't know if I think if Gunnar Henders

212
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.440
Gott offered three hundred million dollars or
ten years, he'd probably take it.

213
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.919
I don't know if you, I
don't know if that's what the market would

214
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:20.480
would offer him though. So yeah, I guess for me, at least

215
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:26.559
there's the potential of a path there
resolving maybe some of these issues where there

216
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.639
was, Hey, there was no
trail to be booting down, okay under

217
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.559
the prior regime. So I like
it. Like I said, I'm happy

218
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:41.200
for one final thing about Scott Barrs. Just remember everybody players signed with Scott

219
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.399
bars and the deal is I will
maximize your return. That's why they signed

220
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.480
with him. They want they want
a different kind of agent. They go

221
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.039
with a different kind of agent.
But that's what Scott barrs. That's his

222
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:56.679
brand. He gets the most amount
of money for you, and it it

223
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.240
can be hair raising, like Blake
Snell is going through at the moment where

224
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.600
it's like what the heck is going
on? And but he almost always gets

225
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:11.039
it done. Yeah, I mean
he does. Again, Hey, if

226
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.039
I if i'd recommend Scott Morris,
if if my kid was looking for an

227
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.759
agent, I wouldn't have any problems
with it. But like you said,

228
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.480
it doesn't always work, oh does
it, Mike? Mike mustokas, it

229
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.919
didn't work out there he got a
pillow coondrict still did okay, but who

230
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.200
knows to me? But after the
sale, Tim brings it up. The

231
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.799
Orioles acquire Corbyn Burns the Brewer for
Joey Ortiz, dl Hall and the Orioles

232
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.039
first round competitive balance. You can
now trade those just a competitive balance pick,

233
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.360
which is I don't know if that's
the first time it's been done,

234
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.720
but that was actually pretty cool,
little my little brain, I thought that

235
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.840
was pretty neat. And I think
the great John Dene smart guy, I

236
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.039
mean, he tweeted out, I
think this is a little light and I

237
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.840
wanted to know your thinking on that, because again it's only one year of

238
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.639
Corbyn Burns and Joey Ortiz and Dale
Hall pretty good baseball players. That first

239
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.960
round competitive balance pick. That's thirty
number, thirty four row. It's a

240
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:10.160
pretty valuable pick. What's your thinking. I think it's okay, Okay,

241
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:15.680
I it's not. It's not a
great deal for Milwaukee. Personally, I

242
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:21.839
would have held out. I would
have held out for Norby maybe, okay,

243
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.119
just forced the issue or try to
and you know what, Milwaukee might

244
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.720
have done that, okay, and
they might have been told it ain't happening.

245
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.799
So you know, they took the
best offer obviously that they could get.

246
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.559
It's a fair offer. It's okay, it's not it's not a great

247
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.240
offer. But again, you've only
got Corbyn Burns for one year. It

248
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.720
is a rental, so I think
that has to come into play. And

249
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.319
the draft pick. The draft pick's
nice. Yeah yeah, hey look I

250
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.920
did. I will help them.
If you're a member of our patriots,

251
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.839
like you got a chance to kind
of see my write up. I dug

252
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.920
deep on these guys and Dale Hall's
got I've said it all along that now

253
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.720
see nasty stuff. He cannot throw
strikes. He's moved to the bullpen,

254
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.880
and now the Brewers say, hey, we want to make you a starter

255
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.000
again. I wouldn't put it past
them, Tim that they have some success

256
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.960
there. That guy's got really really
good stuff. Yeah, he does.

257
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:22.079
And the only concern I have with
Ortiz is sort of a two pronged concern.

258
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.240
What does this mean for Willia DAMASO
He's in his walk here too,

259
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.519
Timmy, Yes he is. And
the other concern I have is hopefully it

260
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.480
doesn't delay the arrival of Tyler Black, because right now roster resource is showing

261
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:45.640
Ortiz at third base. Yeah,
I think Tyler Black's a better player.

262
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:52.400
But I would not be surprised if
Willi Adamas to see you later. Well,

263
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.759
Hey, the Dodgers need you short
stuff, don't they. Well,

264
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.319
Gavin lux is supposed to play short
so he's pretty good player or two?

265
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.279
Yeah, I no, uh,
that would That's the only concerns I have

266
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.920
is you know, what what does
it mean for Willi Adamas short term and

267
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:15.200
Tyler Black? Other than that,
I think it's fair to say that Ortiz

268
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.839
is going to be given a shot
to be an everyday player. Yep.

269
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:25.640
To me, if if I'm tracking
what the what the Brewers are doing now,

270
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.359
I mean to keep Willia Damas and
Corbyn Burns and all you get is

271
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.319
a potential draft pick for compensation.
You gotta move them now. I mean,

272
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:40.240
that's that's that's the smallest market team
in all of baseball, and they've

273
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.880
got to play that game. And
if they're gonna move Corbyn Burns, the

274
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:48.480
logic would be they're moving Willy A
Damas or Tease slots in at short,

275
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.160
Tyler Black comes in at slots in
at third, and then they've got they've

276
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:57.319
got a nice team, controlled infield
for many years to come, and pretty

277
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:02.519
good in field too. Joli or
Tez can play. I mean, he's

278
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.240
a really good defender, hits the
ball harder than you think, he's got

279
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.200
a little bit of space, a
nice little player, and he's never he

280
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.680
wasn't gonna he wasn't gonna jump over
Gunner Henderson and Jackson Holidays. So he

281
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:18.079
was knocked. Well yeah, and
you start to look at the pitching and

282
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.400
you know, hey, right now
you're looking at Freddie Peralta, Wade,

283
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.000
My Colin Ray, Joe Ross,
D L. Hall. What I think

284
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:33.319
is moving Burns now, I think
that what it's doing is creating, over

285
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:38.200
the next year or so, an
opportunity for Robert Casser, Jacob Mazerowski,

286
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:44.319
Aaron Ashby, and Carlos F.
Rodriguez. Do not forget about Carlos F.

287
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.640
Rod Reno, and F is not
the four letter of That guy can

288
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.039
pitch. That guy can really really
pitch. So yeah, the Brewers have

289
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.599
some young arms. In addition to
D. L. Hall, there's five

290
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.680
names that just brought up. We're
going to see these kids over the next

291
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.160
year, year and a half,
some as some as soon as this spring.

292
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.279
I think there's a good chance at
one, if not two of those

293
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.519
guys breaks camp. Well. Miss
Roski is the potential stud in that group.

294
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.920
He's a Tyler glassnow carbon copy,
big tall guy that throws one hundred

295
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.680
miles an hour and has absolutely no
idea where it's going. So which was

296
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.200
Tyler Glasnow as he was coming up
and then all of a sudden he was

297
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.720
athletic enough he figured it out and
became a really good picture. Can't stay

298
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:32.880
healthy, we can't. I mean
we throw that out of the equation,

299
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.279
but I mean Tyler Glass, as
we've talked many times, timmy filthy,

300
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:41.359
filthy stuffs, and miss Roskie's got
filthy stuff. So it's an interesting guy.

301
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.359
Yeah, I think I think we
could see fifteen starts from Robert Casher

302
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.480
this year. He's not bad.
He's the number four guys. He's not

303
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.039
bad at all. But look,
it's true, Timmy, the people in

304
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:57.119
the Brewers, pictures in the Brewers
get I mean, no one thought much

305
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.880
of Corbyn Burn's coming up or Brandon
Wood thought they were like okay, and

306
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:06.200
those guys turn out to be studs. Yeah, and you know the ideal

307
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:11.400
haul into that mix. Yeah,
it's not like we haven't seen Kevin Gossman

308
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.839
pictures in Baltimore struggle and then have
success later on. Correct, that is

309
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:22.640
correct, particularly in that old regime. I think I love Corbyn Burns,

310
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.960
Kyle Bradish and Grayson Rodriguez. That's
a pretty nice one through three. And

311
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.079
then let's say they add Dylan C's. Well, you know, even if

312
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:34.000
they don't add Dylan c So,
okay, you've still got John Means and

313
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.680
Dean Kramer. They're okay pictures.
They're four or fives, right, I

314
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.039
think John Means could be more than
that. But yeah, I Dean Kramer's

315
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:47.279
are typical back of the rotation guy. But yeah, that's not bad.

316
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:53.279
Well, put it this way.
The days of everybody looking at Baltimore and

317
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.920
slotting them into fourth fifth in the
division. Yeah, that's no, that's

318
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.359
those are days days gone by.
Look, the Orioles one going away last

319
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.799
year, best record in the American
League. Not suggesting they're gonna be the

320
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.400
best team in the American League,
but it's all sitting there. It's a

321
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.759
great young team with some of the
best prospects of the game coming up.

322
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.759
And now they added Corbyn Burns and
have the prospect capital to at pretty much

323
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:25.759
anybody else they want sign me up. Well, yeah, the competition in

324
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:32.359
the Al East is going to be
even tighter moving forward. Yeah, Boston's

325
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.160
gonna have to Boston's gonna have to
make some moves, right, you took

326
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:40.759
the words I was I was speaking
the words when I totally i'm if I'm

327
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:44.240
a ret Slux fan, I'm really
disappointed that they they've not done much.

328
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.559
Well, no, they they really, they really haven't. And their biggest

329
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:53.640
offseason move could be bringing theo Epstein
back into the Fold as an advisor.

330
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.319
Yeah. Well I'd rather have him
in the Fold actually doing real work advising,

331
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:06.880
But yeah, I mean he's definitely
got the pedigree for sure. The

332
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.240
other deal that you mentioned it on
our podcast on yesterday, and the A's

333
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.160
acquire ross strippling. Look, it's
not great stuff, but he throws strikes

334
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.640
to him and he's going to be
pitching in well. He was actually pitching

335
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.000
in a good ballpark with the Giants, but now it's pitching in even a

336
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.000
better ballpark. What's your thinking there? Any interest? No? None at

337
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:33.640
all, none, zippo. He'll
be the sort of guy that I'll recommend

338
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.880
on the waiver wire once or twice
if he eats up at various points in

339
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:41.000
times. The A's are going to
win forty to fifty games, Okay,

340
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.599
yeah, is he going to win
more than six games? Seven games?

341
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:51.440
Odds are pretty low, and I'm
just staying I'm staying away from Oakland pitchers

342
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:56.160
this year. They'll all be players
that I add in season as injury replacement,

343
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:02.160
you know types that's you know,
other than possibly Miller as a as

344
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:06.880
a late closer pick. I'm just
staying away. I you know, it's

345
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.160
not a good team. It's not
a really good setup other than other than

346
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.039
home field. It's yeah, it's
the players you add to try and compliment

347
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:21.359
as you struggle through those hamstring injuries. That's where stripling bits in for me.

348
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.039
Okay, Yeah, that's that's fair. That's fair. But he does

349
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.319
throw a strike, So if he
gets on a bit of a roll,

350
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:30.920
I mean, I think he can
be decent for a couple of weeks,

351
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.279
particularly at home against some poor competition. And I actually think the I think

352
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:38.359
the A's I know this is a
bold statement. I think they're going to

353
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:41.480
be better than they were last season. Maybe not much better, but I

354
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:47.000
think they'll be better. Yeah,
I think the best move for that organization

355
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.960
would be new ownership, but that
ain't happening because he's making a bundle.

356
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:55.319
Yeah, he's moving, getting somebody
to pay for him to move. Totally

357
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.960
gave you there, to me to
take a break, and we've got the

358
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:15.839
next hour and a half or so
all about the starting pitching preview. Send

359
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.119
me. I've got my computer open, waiting for my draft slot to come

360
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.440
up and see if anybody has issues
going on. And I've got one eye

361
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:27.799
on that and one eye watching those
murder only murders in my building. It's

362
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.559
on Hulu, and I have to
tell everybody it's with Steve Martin and Oh

363
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:41.880
Martin Short and Selena Selena Young Selena
Gomez, and it's I can't tell you

364
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.200
how good. It is, Tommy, it is. You know, it

365
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.880
is a hardy Boys kind of murder
mystery type thing with some obvious clues and

366
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.200
lots of twists and turns, almost
like a Scooby Doo thing. But there's

367
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:57.440
so much humor in it you you
realize nothing's really serious, right, It's

368
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:03.799
just it's just a form to tell
jokes and be charming and it somehow it

369
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:08.920
just all works. And even Selena
Gomez, who's probably not the best actor

370
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.480
I've ever seen, she's fantastic.
She's really really good at it. She

371
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:17.640
just fit it off works. So
we're starting a third season tonight, Tim,

372
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:19.799
So I'm pretty excited about it.
I have to give it a spy.

373
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:23.880
It's very very good. All right, enough nonsense, Tim, Let's

374
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:29.359
move to your starting pitching. I
know we've talked about a lot about starting

375
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:34.200
pitching already, but let's again hear
your view in terms of how you're addressing

376
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:38.319
starting pitching last year. And I
thought your first sentence or second sentence was,

377
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:42.119
hey, we lost seven out of
the top twenty, which is pretty

378
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:48.079
remarkable. And that's a fact.
I mean, that's not opinion, that's

379
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:56.079
a fact. And I'm just curious
does one change their drafting view? Do

380
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.960
you keep it the same? What
are you doing? Well? I think

381
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:04.440
along with the real game, our
game has to you know, it has

382
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.720
to change right along with it.
And you know, if you look back

383
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:15.359
over the past three years, we've
seen a host of starting pitchers going in

384
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:19.680
the first two three rounds. Well, it's it's not warranting. I don't

385
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:22.880
think this year, I think we
have to back off a little bit.

386
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:29.359
You know, three top ten starting
pitchers along with seven or so from the

387
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.519
top twenty. Hey, you can't
take all of that out of the game

388
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.200
and play the same game. You
know, the elite level at starting pitching

389
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.160
is definitely thinner this year than it
has been in a couple of years.

390
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:47.559
The middle tier is full of opportunities, but a lot of question marks in

391
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:49.720
there. The young guys are starting
to step it up. For me,

392
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.680
I want to get I want to
get Nace. Okay, I want to

393
00:28:52.720 --> 00:29:02.400
get a top ten fifteen starter and
from there I will Bob and we pick

394
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:08.960
and choose as I go through,
trying to maximize my situation as I go

395
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.960
through the draft. I think it's
very important, you know, if you

396
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.000
decide you want to go a little
bit later on starting pictures. I think

397
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:21.359
one thing that's incredibly important is you
find yourself somewhere a two hundred strikeout pitcher.

398
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:26.519
Okay, at some point in time, you've got to have some strikeouts,

399
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.559
and going a little bit late could
put yourself. You could end up

400
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.920
putting yourself in a pretty good pole. So my thoughts are, I want

401
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:41.359
I want an ace, and then
I will just carefully go through and hopefully

402
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:51.279
have three three starters after round ten
and probably six after say round seventeen or

403
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:56.519
so. So may I push may
I push back? Sure, let's and

404
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:59.519
I'm not sure I agree with what
I'm gonna say, but I'm just gonna

405
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:06.640
spit out some facts. I'm looking
at your rankings from last year. Sandy

406
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:11.519
Alcantara was your first guy off the
board. He didn't have very good season.

407
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.079
It was it was, it was
just okay, and then he got

408
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.799
hurt. Show you, Tony,
Let's skip him. Garrett Cole money third

409
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:25.519
guy off the board. Corporn Burns
very very good, Aaron Nola good,

410
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.640
not great. He was your your
fifth guy. Uh, Dylan Cee is

411
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:36.359
not good at all. Seane McClanahan
got got hurt. Uh did even pitch.

412
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:37.599
I can't remember, Gay it was, it was, it was a

413
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:42.000
lost season. Number eight was Alec
Manoa. Look not a horrible ranking.

414
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.400
I mean you had him, he
was at eighth. The NFC had him

415
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.319
at twenty four, so you're a
little high on him. Justin Verlander was

416
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.880
next. He missed a good chunk
of the season. Hue your Arias,

417
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.680
given all of his struggles and where
he is today, was actually okay.

418
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.799
Jacob de Gram missed a lot out
of the season. Number twelve Spinster Strider

419
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:04.079
was great. Max Scherzer next,
miss a ton of the season. Shane

420
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.880
Bieber okay, missed a lot of
time. Carlos were down. Number fifteen

421
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:12.319
horror. Yeah, so I mean
so injuries again, so well yeah,

422
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:17.119
but I mean so you're so part
of it is Hey, you're saying,

423
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.720
Wilson, go get go, go
get a starting pitching pitcher early. Well,

424
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.480
which one do you get? Well? I mean it's like it's easier

425
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:29.920
this year because so many of them
are pitching, right, I mean,

426
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:34.160
you love George Kirby. I love
George Kirby, but there's a chance he's

427
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:40.359
gonna get hurt. Yeah, there's
a chance every starting pitcher on this list

428
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:44.559
is going to get hurt, So
why not take a positional bat who have

429
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.039
a less chance of getting hurt?
And why don't I Why don't I go

430
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.640
to number sixteen attack take Max Free? Why don't I go to number twenty

431
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.039
and take Aaron Nola? Why don't
I go to you know, you know

432
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.480
what? Why don't I pick in? And again I'm just pushing on you.

433
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:00.559
I'm not even sure I agree with
what I'm saying, So why not

434
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:06.279
push on that those number two guys
that you can get a little bit later?

435
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:12.039
And because I because if I spend
so much in early in my draft

436
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:14.599
for a guy, that's a chance
he's going to get hurt. If the

437
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.799
guy that I get with my fifth
round pick gets hurt, at least it's

438
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.960
a fifth round pick as opposed to
my first round pick. Yeah, I

439
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.240
don't have any problems when you start
looking a little further down the list at

440
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:31.400
you know, Max, Max Free
okay or Aaron Nola okay, because again

441
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:37.319
you're looking at high STRIKEO pictures.
Where I would have problems is once you

442
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:44.279
get through the one hundred and eighty
two hundred STRIKEO pictures, then you start

443
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:50.599
looking at trying to make up your
ground. Where do you make up the

444
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:58.359
ground in strikeos? I you know, if there are a Dylan, Yeah,

445
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:04.400
Dylan Dylan sees is an option.
I agree. Uh, food going

446
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:09.960
down further down the list, maybe
justin Justin Verlander, Joe Muskrove's a guy.

447
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:13.720
It's a got a lot of strikeouts
as well. I mean, there's

448
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:15.799
he's going pretty I mean he's you
rank him thirty two. It's hard to

449
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:21.319
say where he's going in the NFBC
because closers are included there. But that's

450
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:25.279
another guy that again I can get
him, uh you know, seventh,

451
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:30.200
eighth round. And I feel a
lot better about it. I feel better

452
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:35.640
with the risk of I'm just wanting
to sad Joe Musgrove and Max Freed,

453
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:40.480
Joe Musgrove, Tarik Scooble, Chris
Bassett. He picked your you know,

454
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.799
in that picking in that level,
just like I'm not going to mess with

455
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.599
the guys at the top anymore because
we got burned last year. Yeah,

456
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:52.200
we got burned last year. Next
year at this time we could have fifteen

457
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:57.480
pitchers in the first two rounds,
three rounds. Well yeah, yeah.

458
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.039
It's a very very volatile position,
which is why when you start looking at

459
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.280
the top ten, will say,
Okay, they're all going in the first

460
00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:13.840
three rounds, as they rightfully should, but I don't. I'm not going

461
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:16.679
to come out of the first five
rounds. Maximum I will come out of

462
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:21.679
the of the first five rounds will
be two starting pitchers, and one of

463
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:27.079
them will be in the fifth round. So yeah, no, Hey,

464
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:30.519
if you want to, you want
to back off a little bit on the

465
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.920
pitching, yeah, I don't have
any problems with that, but just be

466
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:39.159
very cognizant that there's a big drop
off in the strikeout potential once you get

467
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:44.800
out of the top twenty or so
starting pitchers. Then it gets a little

468
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.559
bit tougher. And you don't want
to put yourself in a situation where you've

469
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:52.400
got a team of one hundred and
fifty hundred and sixty strikeout type guys and

470
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:57.039
you end up finishing with three four
points in the category. That's what I

471
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.639
would be concerned. I think I
agree with you, think you had a

472
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:02.679
lot of but I mean Hunter Green
is on the doorstep of breaking out.

473
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:08.039
That's a big strikeout guy. Grayson
Rodriguez doorstep of breaking out. Gavin Williams,

474
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.400
same thing. So there's some of
those. I mean, I know,

475
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:17.840
you can't build a starting rotation of
all of these young kids that could

476
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:22.480
break out because there's equal chance that
they fail. But it also seems like,

477
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:27.920
gosh, you want one or two
of those guys. Yeah. Yeah,

478
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.679
when you take a look at the
top thirty forty this year, yeah,

479
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:38.159
you know you're seeing names in there
like George Kirby, Yeah, I'm

480
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:47.079
a mortal Muri, Perez Tanner,
Biby, Justin Steele, Jesus Lozardo,

481
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:51.920
who's still fairly young. We're starting
to see. And again, part of

482
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.159
it is because of the injury situation, and part of it is because there's

483
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:59.880
some good young pitchers in the game. And I think I think the game

484
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:05.000
the game is changing very very quickly
in that we're seeing pictures up at a

485
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:10.360
younger age. They're enjoying success.
And I'm not afraid to invest in ten

486
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.760
or Byby or Bobby Miller, you
know. And again, yeah, there's

487
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.519
risk. We don't have a five
year resume in front of us, but

488
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.960
we've seen the skills. I think
you either believe in the skills or you

489
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:27.639
don't, right, And I think
we're gonna see more and more young pitchers

490
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:35.840
emerging into that top top thirty BACHA
one this year. Yeah, the way

491
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:38.000
I've been playing starting pitching. I
mean I could be wrong, you know,

492
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:42.480
but I thought about this. Look, I'd love to have Garrett Cale

493
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.840
if we dropped to the middle of
the second round, take them every time.

494
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:49.320
But I'm just I'm scared in the
first round. I just and Spencer

495
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:53.599
Stryder, same kind of thing.
I wouldn't mind having George Kirby Zach Wheeler

496
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.440
if I can get them third ish
round. All of a sudden, that

497
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:00.119
becomes very interesting. Like in a
Donasty league startup. I'm in the middle

498
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:05.039
of the third round and Corbyn Burns
is there. I almost peed my pants.

499
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:07.519
I mean I was so excited.
I mean I got Corbyn Burns in

500
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.559
the third round, like hello.
I would do that in a heartbeat in

501
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:15.079
a in a redraft league as well. So, I mean there's always value

502
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:20.320
there. It's just boy, you
know, you got a choice between Gunner

503
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:25.440
Henderson or Garrett Cole, or you
got Aaron Judge and Garrett Cole play.

504
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.920
It's so hard to pull the trigger
on Garrett Cole. Yeah, no,

505
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:37.440
it's I get it. I really
do. The only thing I can say

506
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:44.320
when you get into the elite level
of starting pitchers is there is a margin

507
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:47.679
of comfort and safety in knowing that
you're you're looking at players that do have

508
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:52.519
a good industry. Again, how
much do you want to that's because of

509
00:37:52.639 --> 00:38:01.800
that? Like I said, I'm
looking at I'm looking at probably most d

510
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:10.920
doctors are possibly another bad and looking
at a round six seven for the starters,

511
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:14.800
becausere's a lot of starters in there. I like, yeah, I'll

512
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:19.119
take Justin Justin, Justin Steele in
around seven or eight. Kyle Bradish and

513
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:23.559
Zach Ethlyn's not getting nearly the level
of respect that I think he should.

514
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:29.960
Yeah, there's what Yeah, except
he does play for Tampa now, right,

515
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.519
So that means he's going to get
hurt. Well, yes, but

516
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:38.719
hopefully he gets two years in before
before that happens. I'm actually somewhat serious

517
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:44.239
about that. I mean, should
we await Tampa bay Ray's pictures until they

518
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:49.400
can prove they can keep him healthy? I think you can't. It's bad

519
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.880
there, Tim, I mean every
one of them has gotten hurt. Well,

520
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:58.960
just because Springs or Smunson, McLanahan
and who else Tyler got hurt.

521
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:07.559
Yeah, Baz Yeah, every picture
that the that's gone through that Tampa Bay

522
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.239
rotation the last couple of years has
got had Tommy John surgery. To me,

523
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.280
at some point there needs to be
an investigation what the heck is going

524
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:21.360
on there? Yeah, I I
don't have I don't have any answers either.

525
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:24.320
That's just yeah. Yeah, I've
holding my hands up in the air.

526
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.679
It's shrug my shoulders and yeah,
I mean it's it could be just

527
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:32.360
bad luck. I mean, I
mean, I guess, but man,

528
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:36.119
it's like if I'm sitting at the
table and all of a sudden, there's

529
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:39.599
Zach Efflin and I got a choice
when Zach Eflin and Aaron Nola. I'm

530
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:44.920
going Aaron Nola just because he plays
in a different organization. I mean,

531
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:49.199
maybe that's nuts, but that's the
way I'm thinking. Yeah, and just

532
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:53.119
cause for that thing, Yeah,
there really is. Yeah, Timmy,

533
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:57.079
let's take a break it back and
start breaking these guys down one by one.

534
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:15.440
You're the music. Did you hear
that he has nothing? That's weird?

535
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:16.920
How you were able to hear that? That's that's really Yeah. The

536
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:22.960
intro came through loud and clear as
a bell, but that commercial break didn't

537
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:25.639
hear a thing until you came back
a thing that's really strange. I don't

538
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:30.679
know, Tom, everything's recording,
everything looks good. So because we're not

539
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:37.360
redoing this too much, too much
gold in there, too much sh maybe

540
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:44.599
it's a Q tube issue and I
could resolve here and there that is talking

541
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:46.280
about tm I to me, that
is definitely am I give you a rim

542
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:52.599
shop. But ohough it is a
late rim shot. Okay, let's do

543
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:58.679
your top five great pictures here.
Garrickle one, Spencer Strider to Kevin Goussman

544
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:02.599
three, Corbyn Burns four, and
George Kirby five. In the NFBC,

545
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:09.559
they are going Spencer Strider one,
Garrett Cole two, and it looks like

546
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:16.679
Corbyn Burns three, Zach Wheeler and
then Kevin Gosman. So you got Kevin

547
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:20.960
Goson up a little bit. Yeah, I got Kirby up a little bit

548
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:27.440
too. I've guys, I think
when you start looking at any of the

549
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:32.320
starting pitchers after Cole and Stryder,
they're all in basically the same spot,

550
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:37.119
give or take. You know,
Gossman's at thirty, Burns is at twenty

551
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:45.519
six, Kirby's at forty one.
They're in the same proximity. If you

552
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:51.639
told me that you prefer Pablo Lopez
over over Gosman, Gosman or Burns or

553
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:55.239
yeah, I'm not gonna argue they're
they're all they're all in the same neighborhood.

554
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.559
Pablo Lopez is one of my targets. I will say that just because

555
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.800
tenth guy off the board. If
I won an eighth I can pay a

556
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:08.679
third round pick for him. I
like that. So yeah. And George

557
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:13.559
Kirby in the third round. Absolutely, he has been creeping up though,

558
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:16.000
so he was. He was later
and it was the guy that I was

559
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:19.760
also targeting, and all of a
sudden he got really expensive. And now

560
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:23.800
I'm again a little bit not as
intrigued there. Yeah, But Zach Gallon

561
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:28.159
and Luis because they're they're all in
the same or they're all in the same

562
00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:31.360
neck of the woods, pick your
poison and go with them. They're you

563
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:37.039
know, they're all top first three
round picks. Uh. If I took

564
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:40.119
Spencer Strider in front of Garrett Cole, would that upset you? No,

565
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:45.559
not one bit. I just think
until something happens to not cool off his

566
00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:50.039
perch. I don't think Strider has
done enough what was his eerie last year,

567
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:53.480
three eighty or something, wasn't it, I don't I don't recall.

568
00:42:54.360 --> 00:43:00.679
Yeah it was. It was mid
threes. Anyways, And yeah, Garrett

569
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:05.800
Cole he is he does nothing but
produce outstanding ratios year after year after year.

570
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.800
He's not I don't think he's he's
old. Uh. Five of the

571
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:13.800
past six season. The only season
he hasn't struck out two hundreds I think

572
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:17.559
in the past six was the shortened
season. Yeah, I just think I

573
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:22.599
agree. Yeah, it's it's tough
not to to feel comfort. I think

574
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:24.559
that was the word that you said
earlier. When you go with Garrett Cole,

575
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:29.679
and that's that's why you get them. Well, yeah, the there's

576
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:34.119
a history there, a very very
strong history. And uh, you know

577
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:38.719
what I said in my I said
in my my narrative. Yes, Strider

578
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:42.639
could be the best starter in the
game someday, just not two day.

579
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:47.239
All I know is his uh,
his baseball Slavan page is as a thing.

580
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.440
Oh yeah, yeah, and you
know what if you took Streider first,

581
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:57.320
No, I don't have any problems
with that. Yeah, Strider's e

582
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:00.280
er A last year was three eighty
six, is expect was three h nine

583
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:04.840
though, so it looks like he
got a little unlucky. But uh yeah,

584
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.760
it's uh, you know, they're
both great, they're both great pictures

585
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:13.119
ahead of the class to Yeah.
Yeah, his slider's really taking a big

586
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:17.039
step up. That slider's getting fifty
five percent with Reid, who that's reach.

587
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:23.639
Yeah, let me get back over
to the spreadsheet. Yeah, gals,

588
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:27.880
I mean I'm poking to trying to
find stuff to talk about with these

589
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:30.679
five and they're just all really good. Yeah. You know, you could

590
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:34.360
look at Kirby and you could say, well, I'm being overly bold moved,

591
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:37.599
but he didn't walk anybody. The
strikeout rates were up in the second

592
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:43.039
half. He's young. He throws
a knuckleball once a year. You know,

593
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:46.800
it's there's old. What is there
to really dislike other than the fact

594
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:52.360
that he doesn't have a long resume? Okay, what's how can you how

595
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.559
can you not like George Kirby?
Yeah, he is a good picture.

596
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:59.400
He's going as the ninth guy off
the board in the NF you see,

597
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:01.320
and it's running that up is obviously
show you toddy, so you have to

598
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:05.599
take one out. So that's at
least eight, So you you like him

599
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:10.079
better than Zach, Zach Wheeler,
Zach Galen, Lewis Castile is going in

600
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:14.920
front of those guys. So yeah, I mean it's it's a pretty bold

601
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.000
move putting George Kirby up there,
now that I think about it, Well,

602
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:23.360
yeah, how many watchs did hello
last year? It was yeah,

603
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:35.280
exactly, and I I think George
Kirby and Tanner Biby are going to be

604
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:40.000
fighting over Cy Young Awards for the
next five years. Wow. Well,

605
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:45.559
when we get down to Biby,
it becomes rather celt explanatory, doesn't it.

606
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:51.639
All I know is George Kirby won
me a stake elect last year,

607
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:55.760
so let's help forever. He'll forever
be one of my favorite pitchers of all

608
00:45:55.880 --> 00:46:00.239
time. So that's That's not like
we traded for him at the end of

609
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:05.239
the year in DL five. So
yeah, yeah, I don't mind paying

610
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:07.719
up on that stage. Yeah,
he doesn't walk anybody. It's it's absolutely

611
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.719
ridiculous. So, I mean,
the floor is immediately very high. He

612
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:15.480
didn't have an expected era of three
to ninety in irregular era of three thirty

613
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:21.119
five. Let's take a look at
what's going on. Uh, gets a

614
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.920
lot of strikeouts with his fastball,
which isn't typical slider's just okay with a

615
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:30.920
twenty two percent whiff rate, curveball
sixteen percent wft rate split finger. Interesting,

616
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:34.840
he's only throwing at six percent of
the time. He threw a er

617
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:37.639
point four percent of the time in
twenty twenty two. That looks like a

618
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:44.159
vicious ball, tim, So I'm
expecting to see the percentages change on that.

619
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:46.320
Yeah, I mean that that happens
a lot. That happens a lot,

620
00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:50.239
you know where I mean, you
don't usually go from zero to thrown

621
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:52.920
at thirty percent of the time.
So if he started to throw that fifteen

622
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:55.599
percent of the time next year,
and all of a sudden he starts to

623
00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:00.400
have a lot of success against left
handed pitchers, which where he's a throw

624
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:05.119
it for it. Yeah, yeah, that's gonna help like it. Yeah,

625
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:07.320
in dynasty leagues, you gotta be
all over a pit Choy Kirby.

626
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:12.519
Yeah, you simply have to be. I if I was looking at in

627
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:19.679
a dynasty format, I would probably
have him ranked two three. I got

628
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:22.239
him as my h I got him
in a couple of leagues. I know,

629
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:23.800
I picked him in the third round. I believe he's probably it's not

630
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:29.079
the top five type six guy off
the board. So yeah, yeah,

631
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:31.639
I will be able to break all
that stuff down for you one day,

632
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:35.800
Timmy, because I can download all
the data, as you know. At

633
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:38.880
number six is Pablo Lopez, followed
by Zach Wheeler, Zach Galien, Luis

634
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:45.159
Castillo, Framber of Valdez. I
love myself some Pablo Lopez. I think

635
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:50.760
he is way underrated. I love
what you did did here and pushed him

636
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.400
up a little bit. Well again, he tied for third and all of

637
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:58.760
baseball with two and thirty four strikeos. Just a great year. Yeah,

638
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:04.320
kept the ball park, didn't didn't
didn't walk a slip. He's a good

639
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:07.559
picture, a really good picture.
It took a huge step up in Minnesota

640
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:10.559
last year, big time. He's
able to it was able to stay healthy

641
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:14.039
as well. And uh yeah,
it's a good trade by the Twins they

642
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:17.159
needed that, and a great trade
by the Marlins they needed Lewis Orry so

643
00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:23.360
and it worked out for both teams. Win win. Zach Wheeler, it's

644
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:27.840
tough to say. I mean he
dropped him a little bit though, Yeah,

645
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:32.559
just a little He's he's you know, he's the other side of it.

646
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:37.119
Just came down to I like Lopez
a bit better, but the Wheeler

647
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:39.159
is a fine pitcher. And as
I said, my nor I am.

648
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:44.480
You know after at one point in
time we were looking at Zach Wheeler wondering

649
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:46.119
if he was going to have a
career. I remember discussing it on the

650
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:52.119
podcast. You know, he basically
missed three seasons while in New York and

651
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:57.599
and he went through a really,
really tough time. So I'll always I'll

652
00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:00.760
always smile when I think about Zach
Wheeler and every everything he had to go

653
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:02.639
through to get to where he was, And I think everybody in our community

654
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:07.599
you should smile. It's a great
story. George Kirby Tim had him ranked

655
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:10.880
thirty last season, Pablo Lopez fifty
one. So those are two guys that

656
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.119
if you would have drafted both of
those guys, Timmy, you would have

657
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:22.000
basically had to number one starters.
That's how they performed last year. Well.

658
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.360
Yeah, and when you add in
pictures like ten Or Baby and Trek

659
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:34.519
Scooper and Bobby Miller and Kyle Bradish
Winter Winter Yep, Zach Gallen, Tim,

660
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:38.599
it's hard to criticize anything he's done. It's been great. He's done

661
00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:43.159
it in Arizona. I don't think
people quite appreciate that enough. That's a

662
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.480
tough place to pitch in. Well, yeah, and he's a horse one

663
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.880
hundred and eighty four innings and twenty
two two hundred and ten innings last year.

664
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:55.199
That's that's nice to have in round
three, isn't it? What's I

665
00:49:55.280 --> 00:50:00.119
think fascinating? You got Zach Galen
at eight and you got Pabolo Lopez at

666
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.920
six. Both of them were with
the Marlins, and Marlin's trade of both

667
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:08.920
of those guys away. Yeah,
for jazz, jazz chisholm if I'm not

668
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:13.639
mistake jazz chism for Zach Gillen straight
up, and Lewis the rise for pabol

669
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.679
I mean, so one is it
shows you how much they're developing pictures in

670
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:22.360
Miami. Right part of it you'd
have to say believe they probably wish they

671
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:25.760
had both those guys back. I
mean, particularly what would they're off would

672
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:35.880
offense. It's it's not great now. Yeah, Any concerns about Faner Valdez,

673
00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:39.719
No, not really, Okay,
Yeah, the past two years he's

674
00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:45.119
put in almost four hundred innings.
He just when when I looked at Valdez

675
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:51.320
and I looked at all of the
pictures immediately sort of below him, you

676
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:53.639
know, Cody saying that we've seen
one year. Yeah, I'm a older

677
00:50:53.719 --> 00:50:58.280
we haven't seen any years. Yuri
Pez is young, is he gonna is

678
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:00.519
a workload? Going to be their
tanner biby? Another young picture, framber

679
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:06.519
Velde is just feels very comfortable and
safe to me, which is why I

680
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:09.760
moved him up into the tent spot
because I'm perfectly happy with a guy who's

681
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:13.920
gonna get, you know, throw
the ball two hundred innings a year with

682
00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:19.599
very solid results. So it's sort
of a safe floor type pic. Yep,

683
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.079
right, yep, good love.
And through fifteen, Tim's got code

684
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:30.079
I singa u Yamamoto's next Yuri Perez
logan Web tanner biby, And that's eleven

685
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:35.280
through fifteen. You got singa in
front of Yamamoto. Explain yourself, McLeod.

686
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:39.880
It's very simple. We've seen a
year of Senga. I think Yamamoto

687
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:45.280
is a better picture, but Senga
at least has a history, and it's

688
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:52.199
a very very good history. So
hey, I'm anticipating Yamamoto being a better

689
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:58.840
pitcher. But right now, how
do you argue with what Senga did last

690
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:06.320
year, especially in the second half. Those are impressive numbers, Tim,

691
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:10.880
looking at the two of them.
Can you repeat that? Yeah, you

692
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:17.360
cut out just what we were saying, saying something brilliant. Hold on,

693
00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:22.760
I've lost, mister McLeod. Let
me take a quick break and come back

694
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:27.119
and see if I can find Tim
earth to Tim here, I'm here,

695
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:37.400
there you go. Hold on,
So we were comparing Singa to yama Moto.

696
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:40.280
You want to repeat what you said? You said that Yama mode is

697
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:44.480
definitely the better picture, but we've
seen Singa and then you kind of cut

698
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:47.719
out. Yeah, I know,
after what Singa did in the second half

699
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:52.519
last year, there's a bit of
a history sitting there, and again I

700
00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:59.039
feel the Yama Moto. You know, hey, I can only handle so

701
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:01.639
many zero points zeros. Now,
if I were to rank Yamma Moto in

702
00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:06.920
the top five, you know,
hey, he could finish up. That's

703
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:12.760
just a where he where he finishes
up. I believe he's got the potential

704
00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:15.559
to be a top five pitcher.
Am I going to draft him as the

705
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:21.280
top five picture? No? Okay, I'm saying it's got history and he's

706
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:24.000
got a little bit on his resume
right now, so I ranked him one

707
00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:29.880
slot higher. All I know is
the flora is there. The zero point

708
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:32.840
zero is at the trigger, Timmy, because if Yama Motor gets off to

709
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:38.400
a tough start, it's going to
be twenty minutes every podcast talking about Yamamoto.

710
00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:42.960
It's gonna be great. Well,
yeah, I'm gonna go to bed

711
00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:45.960
counting zero point zeros instead of sheep. Yeah. Oh, Timmy, I

712
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:50.599
am, I am, I am
on the clock. You're on the clock.

713
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:53.079
Yeah, Tanner Biby just got taken
it and my cueue is empty.

714
00:53:54.239 --> 00:53:58.119
Oh see this is what Yeah,
this is what sucks. You know.

715
00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:02.800
It's uh round you in uh,
this is in round nine. My team

716
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:07.880
is uh I've got I got threes, I got two starters and a closer.

717
00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:15.079
This is a team. I got
Dela Cruz, followed up by Bryce

718
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:20.599
Harper, I got Walker, Jordan
Walker, say yes, Suzuki, Glaber,

719
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:25.000
Torres, and then Corbyn Burns,
Max Free, David Bedder. So

720
00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:31.920
that's a good start. So uh
U use the clock and take a look.

721
00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:35.440
Yeah, I'm gonna have to use
the clock and take a look.

722
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:37.639
To me, I just I just
I just don't have time to think about

723
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:44.800
this unfortunately. So uh yeah,
that's why that's why we have that's why

724
00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:47.000
we have the clock and slow drafts. Right when you when you get stuck

725
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:50.880
like this, and that's the one
where you got I've got the list going.

726
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:53.440
I got to look at the list
to see who's going. Okay,

727
00:54:53.599 --> 00:54:57.840
So we just got back from commercial
break because we lost him for a bit.

728
00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:01.079
So let me get back over to
the spreadsheet. Let me get back

729
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:08.199
over there. What else can I
Euri Perez? I mentioned he could be

730
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:13.159
a top five pitcher on the end
of this year. Yes, I love

731
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:15.719
eury Perez. I have n't had
a number of Dynasty League teams. I'm

732
00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:20.239
scared to death of eury Perez this
year. Well, how many innings is

733
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:23.679
he gonna throw? That's that's a
big that's that's a that's a magical question.

734
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:29.159
If he gets one hundred and sixty
and seventy innings in, he could

735
00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:31.239
very easily bolt himself into the top
ten, top five, couldn't he.

736
00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:38.159
I'm scared to death of my I
I worry about injuries. I just do.

737
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:44.000
And he's had some, right tim. So that's he's a he's a

738
00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:49.079
big kid. He's young, tall
and skinny. So it's just like we'll

739
00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:52.440
see the profile of guys who throw
that hard with the stuff that he has,

740
00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:58.599
quite frankly, is a recipe for
elbow entries and that's that's what worries

741
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:01.840
me about Uri Perez. So Yeah, and then at fourteen or after you

742
00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:06.880
got Logan Webb Booz, I think
a very safe pick. I think it's

743
00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:09.760
a safe pick too. I totally
agree with you. And next Tanner Biby,

744
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:13.119
I totally agree with you there.
I think this is a guy that

745
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:15.880
is on the rise. Very bold
pick he was. He's going much later

746
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:21.079
in the NFBC because his ADP is
one fifteen and you got him wedged into

747
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:27.639
an eight two ADPs of sixty five. Yeah. I like Tanner Biby a

748
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:31.079
lot, and I think if you
want Tanner Biby, especially in a Dynasty

749
00:56:31.239 --> 00:56:35.360
league, you best tart to get
him now. Okay, make a move

750
00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:40.079
before the season starts, because I
really think over the next five years it's

751
00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:45.320
Tanner Biby and George Kirby are going
to be They're going to be dueling over

752
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:49.920
that al Cy Young Award. That's
how bullish I am on time Tanner Biby.

753
00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:52.039
Wow, that is impressive to me. That is really impressive. I

754
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:57.360
am going to do a little spreadsheet
work here and I think I can get

755
00:56:57.840 --> 00:57:02.960
the NFBC rankings here where they're going, because if I sort the eightyps,

756
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:09.159
that should tell me what number they're
going. Correct. Yeah, pretty much,

757
00:57:09.199 --> 00:57:14.280
shah. So I just did that. Let me and let me do

758
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:19.559
this there, don't you know?
But it so you know what I mean.

759
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:23.000
So all the relief pictures are out
and if I sort them by ADP

760
00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:28.320
and put a number next to them, then it'll tell me they should kind

761
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:31.880
of match up to what yours is, right, Yeah, very logical.

762
00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:37.320
Yeah, how about that? Now, that's that's why you're in charge of

763
00:57:37.400 --> 00:57:44.159
everything technical and I'm not. Yeah, so unfortunately I can't. I'd have

764
00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:45.960
to hang up on you to be
able to complete the task, but I

765
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:50.760
will. I will just do a
little bit of typing. In fact,

766
00:57:50.840 --> 00:57:54.719
let me let me put Paul's a
podcast real quick, tim Okay, Tim,

767
00:57:54.760 --> 00:57:57.840
we got we got new numbers now, so I'll be able to so

768
00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:01.679
code. I Singa is going as
the the twentieth pitcher off the board,

769
00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:05.960
and you have him ranked eleven.
So that's all we'll be able to do.

770
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:10.079
That soon. Uri Perez is according
to NBC, is going as a

771
00:58:10.119 --> 00:58:15.199
twenty second pitcher. You've actually pushed
him up to thirteen. Well, I

772
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:21.440
think the talent's there. The only
question is the workload. And I'm betting

773
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:24.360
on one hundred and sixty innings this
year. The only time will tell if

774
00:58:24.400 --> 00:58:27.760
he gets to that, if he
gets to that level. But if he

775
00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:31.559
does, I think I might even
have him low. Yeah, And Tim

776
00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:36.280
is really bullish on tanner By because
he's gone us a thirty third pitcher off

777
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:38.679
the board. Tim's got at fifteen
and I totally supportive of you. I

778
00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:44.559
love the aggressiveness of that. Well, I think there's there's a time,

779
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:50.480
there's a time to be investing,
and it's now. And I'm I don't

780
00:58:50.519 --> 00:58:53.320
have any problems in a red draft
league with moving tanner By v up that

781
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:55.960
high, none whatsoever. Who's he
pitched for? Again, Tim? Which

782
00:58:57.000 --> 00:59:02.119
team does he pitch for? And
Guardians I believe aren't don't they have a

783
00:59:02.519 --> 00:59:07.519
history of developing pretty good pictures.
They're pretty they're pretty good at it.

784
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:10.760
I think they're pretty good at it. Number sixteen is Max free trek Skuble

785
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:17.360
seventeen, Zach Eflin Bobby Miller at
number nineteen and Aaron Nola at twenty.

786
00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:22.159
Let's go down to Aaron Nola.
He's going as the eleventh picture off the

787
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:25.440
board. You have him at twenty. Well, all, yeah, all

788
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:30.039
you have to do is look at
the look at the production. And the

789
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:37.079
one thing that I think that's very
interesting with with Aaron Nola is and I

790
00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:42.119
when I did my narrative, I
mentioned it is that if you if you're

791
00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:47.480
into the odd even thing, he's
got a really solid history of pitching great

792
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:53.119
every second year. Okay, And
if all of that holds true, I'm

793
00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:58.760
low on Aaron Nola. But last
year is zer A was what for something

794
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:01.760
for? It was up there.
I think with Aaron Nola, what you're

795
01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:07.480
guaranteed is you're guaranteed two hundred strike
oats. You're and you know, one

796
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:12.480
hundred and eighty hundred ninety eighties.
Okay. I As far as the aarra,

797
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:15.920
it has been absolutely all over the
place, and I've backed him off

798
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:21.000
for that reason. Okay, So
I I don't believe in the odd even

799
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:28.519
theory because I don't. I've never
heard anybody giving an explanation as to why

800
01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:31.639
that is. Yeah, I've I've
gotten. I've got no reason for it.

801
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:35.840
Okay, if you can give me
a reason, I will buy it.

802
01:00:36.039 --> 01:00:39.199
But that is just like here's here's
the reason I'll give you. Last

803
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:44.760
year he had a four to forty
six arra okay u. Twenty twenty two

804
01:00:44.800 --> 01:00:49.559
he had a three twenty five arra
okay. Twenty twenty one he had four

805
01:00:49.719 --> 01:00:53.599
sixty three three twenty eight, three
eighty seven, so thirty seven, three

806
01:00:53.599 --> 01:01:00.800
point fifty four. Every other year
there's been no consider see in the year

807
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:05.320
A numbers none going back. So
your homework is to try to figure out

808
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:09.039
why that is. So in twenty
twenty two they made it all the way

809
01:01:09.079 --> 01:01:15.039
to the World Series. Was he
tired? That could explain twenty twenty three.

810
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:19.000
This time they didn't go as t
Maybe he'll have a better season because

811
01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:22.760
he didn't work as many innings.
Maybe there's something along that line. But

812
01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:25.639
your job now is to go homework, So figure that out. To him,

813
01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:30.719
it's a mystery. He just sucks
every other year. Okay, let's

814
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:35.559
go with that. But at the
same point in time, five of the

815
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:39.280
sixty five of the last five full
seasons, okay, he's gone her two

816
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:44.800
hundred strikeouts every year it's cr rai'smen
up and down all over the place.

817
01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:47.119
So I adjusted no, all the
downwards a little bit. And hey,

818
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:51.400
if the trend continues this year,
he should pitch a boat. I'll say

819
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:55.199
about a three thirty three thirty five
era. If that trend continues, Does

820
01:01:55.360 --> 01:02:02.199
Tarik scooble injury concerns last year give
you paus to take him this early?

821
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:12.119
Ah, he won't be, for
say, a target of mine, because

822
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:15.360
we're paying for what he did in
the second half. You're paying dearly,

823
01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:20.719
Timmy. He's going as a twelfth
starter off the board according to my little

824
01:02:20.800 --> 01:02:27.920
new calculation, and he through eighty
innings last year. Hey, what we

825
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:30.280
saw in the second half was amazing. He was arguably the best picture in

826
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:34.800
baseball in the second half. But
again, it's still only eighty innings.

827
01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:42.599
I am definitely lower on Schooble for
that reason. You know. It's Hey,

828
01:02:43.440 --> 01:02:45.239
yeah, we will discuss Tyler Glastowe
in a bit, but it's the

829
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:51.719
same sort of same sort of situation. How do you bet on something we

830
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:57.039
haven't seen to date out of Terrek's
Schoobel. I can't make that bet.

831
01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:02.440
I love the logic there Timmy,
I will tell you. And looking at

832
01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:07.320
his data, very few pictures have
his stuff. It's pretty much off the

833
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:13.079
chart. So if he can replicate
what he did in the second half,

834
01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:17.320
he could be a top five guy. Yeah. No, the stuff is

835
01:03:17.519 --> 01:03:22.639
off the charts good, it really
is. But do you you know,

836
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:32.079
do you look at him over a
logan web, It's it's a classic floor

837
01:03:32.239 --> 01:03:38.119
versus ceiling, isn't it. Yeah? It is? And I don't know.

838
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:42.760
I have to like. I love
Terrek Schooble I. I've owned him

839
01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:46.880
in multiple, multiple leagues in the
past, and it's he just hasn't been

840
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:52.400
able to consistently get in the workload. And until he does, I can't.

841
01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:55.880
I can't go that high on him. I just can't. Yeah,

842
01:03:55.960 --> 01:04:00.199
And all of the existing Dynasty leagues
I play in, Timmy, I have

843
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:03.039
him in every league. In the
new ones, I don't have him in

844
01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:06.000
any And it's not like I didn't
want to, but he was going as

845
01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:11.559
a top sometimes a top three or
four pick as a picture and it was

846
01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:15.039
I mean, I just was too
expensive. I want to give me.

847
01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:17.440
I just it's the same logic.
I wanted a positional guy. I just

848
01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:24.000
wasn't. I wasn't comfortable taking him
a picture that high unless it was uh,

849
01:04:24.400 --> 01:04:29.599
you know, au Pablo Lopez or
a Corbin Burns, somebody had a

850
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:32.599
little bit more, a little bit
more little history there. So yeah,

851
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:39.480
the resume is fairly blank when it
comes to workload from Schooble, and that's

852
01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:42.480
just the way it's been thus far. Does that mean it has to stay

853
01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:45.400
that way. No, But it's
all about how much risk you want to

854
01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:48.559
take. And there's a bit too
much based on his current drafts Now,

855
01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:54.239
hey you give me Tarry schoobl in
the fourth round. Yeah, okay,

856
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:58.519
now, now we're starting to generate
some interest, but not in the second

857
01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:00.920
round. He kept going higher and
higher and hire he was one of my

858
01:05:01.079 --> 01:05:06.320
targets when I did my my did
my target list. This was back in

859
01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:10.079
like December, and he was going
as in the fourth round, like hey,

860
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.519
money, money, I'll take that, and he just kept going up

861
01:05:13.599 --> 01:05:16.000
and up and up, probably because
everybody's listening to the podcast, I guess,

862
01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:20.719
so you're welcomed, Terrek Scooble.
Yeah. Well, and it's the

863
01:05:20.760 --> 01:05:25.440
same as Yamamoto. You could have
got Yama Moto in a draft in November

864
01:05:25.519 --> 01:05:29.920
December, probably in the tenth round. Okay, yeah, try that now

865
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:34.039
it doesn't work right, Yeah,
left handed pitcher with his fastball velocity.

866
01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:38.480
Oh I'm sorry, I'm looking at
Bobby Miller. So let's move to Bobby

867
01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:44.320
Miller. If you look at Baseball
Savant and you look the sheeps of his

868
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:50.280
pitches, a few guys have his
stuff. Tim. He throws a four

869
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:54.239
seam er, a sinker, a
curveball, a slider, a change up,

870
01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:59.719
and actually even a sweeper. He's
throwing at everything in the kitchen sink,

871
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:02.159
at people, and it's a lot
of it's nasty, nasty stuff.

872
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:05.840
Yeah. You know what really surprised
me is he didn't get a single vote

873
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:13.039
in the NL Rookie of the Year
Awards. Not a vote. I know,

874
01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:15.000
it was a good class and yeah, there were a lot of very

875
01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:19.639
very good names, and he certainly
wasn't in contention to win with Gorbyn Carroll

876
01:06:19.679 --> 01:06:23.639
and saying yeah, ye had it, but not nary a vote. And

877
01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:27.360
I found that sort of surprising.
Bobby Miller three seventy six a year,

878
01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:31.719
Ray, that's pretty good for a
Yeah, look at the whip the strikeo

879
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.559
rates. Yeah, yeah, he
doesn't walk many. It's a he's a

880
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:40.360
really good picture. He doesn't strike
out as many guys as you think,

881
01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:44.239
but looking at his overall stuff,
and I think the Dodgers will start to

882
01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:48.079
maybe that sweeper eventually replaces that slider
if it gets if it gets good,

883
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:51.159
and you know, they'll probably start
to drop some of these other pitches and

884
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:58.599
he could be really really good.
Yeah, I I've I've got him ranked

885
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:02.079
as a top twenty pitcher. I
think I think you'll learn that this year.

886
01:07:02.519 --> 01:07:05.880
Tim's got a little bit higher than
the nfbc's nineteen. He's going in

887
01:07:05.920 --> 01:07:09.960
the NFC. He's going us a
twenty third pitcher off the board. Let's

888
01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:14.360
do twenty one through twenty five,
and then we might take a break and

889
01:07:14.440 --> 01:07:16.679
cut this podcast. Go down to
thirty. That's that's wor'll cut it.

890
01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:23.159
Twenty one is Kyle Bradish, Justin
Steele, Next, Blake Snell, the

891
01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:28.559
Homeless Blake Snell, Freddie Peralta,
Jose Lozardo, your buddy, and my

892
01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:32.960
buddy Tyler. It's actually my buddy
Tyler glassa Tim hates Tyler Glassnow Logan Logan,

893
01:07:33.159 --> 01:07:38.800
Logan, Gilbert. I just want
everybody to know George Kirby is at

894
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:43.119
least twenty slots ahead of Logan Gilbert, thank you very much, at least

895
01:07:43.159 --> 01:07:49.039
twenty and comes a good pitcher.
He's a good pitcher, Justin Verlander at

896
01:07:49.079 --> 01:07:53.719
twenty eight. Dylan sees at twenty
nine Jordan Montgomery. Oh, so much

897
01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:57.480
to talk about here. I don't
eve know where to start. Kyle Bradish,

898
01:07:57.559 --> 01:08:00.920
Tim it was a guy that I
was really high on coming through the

899
01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:03.639
minor leagues. I actually had him
on just about every Dynasty league. I

900
01:08:03.639 --> 01:08:08.760
think I only have him on one
or two now. I never expected what

901
01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:10.880
he did. I thought he would
be good, a lot better. I

902
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:14.039
thought it'd be like like a guy
that nobody was talking. I thought he'd

903
01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:16.600
be a number four starter. He
was much better than that. Last season.

904
01:08:16.640 --> 01:08:25.239
How did that happen? Well,
he only allowed two point eight three

905
01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:31.279
r Well, you know, he
pitched one hundred and seventy innings. That's

906
01:08:31.319 --> 01:08:35.800
a that's a big step up from
his rookie campaign where he threw one hundred

907
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:42.119
and seventeen. But again he only
walked forty four. Yeah, Okay,

908
01:08:42.239 --> 01:08:44.920
you look at the hit rates.
Okay, one hundred and thirty two hits

909
01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:47.920
over one hundred and sixty eight and
two. There's people were missing strikeout per

910
01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:53.760
inning. He kept the ball in
the park. He only allowed fourteen home

911
01:08:53.840 --> 01:08:56.640
runs last years. Like he was
a round ball pitcher, right, because

912
01:08:56.640 --> 01:08:59.760
he's I think he's a sinker now
it's a sinker slider guy. Right,

913
01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:03.720
But again, you look at all
the numbers and it's easy to see how

914
01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:10.000
he could produce a quality e area
and we'pt doing what he did last year

915
01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:13.840
and he did last year, right, well, why can't he do it

916
01:09:13.920 --> 01:09:18.039
again this year? Really really good
slider, really really good slider. So

917
01:09:18.760 --> 01:09:25.000
he started deemphasizing his sinker from twenty
two. So sinker went down from his

918
01:09:25.279 --> 01:09:30.479
primary pitch in twenty twenty two.
Is it might look you know, his

919
01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:34.119
for seamer. He started deemphasizing his
four seamer and started throwing more of his

920
01:09:34.479 --> 01:09:40.479
sinker. Yeah, so he started
becoming more of a groundball guy. He's

921
01:09:40.520 --> 01:09:44.560
threw his fastball in twenty twenty two
at forty five percent of the time.

922
01:09:45.239 --> 01:09:49.720
Last year he threw it at thirty
twenty two percent of the time, and

923
01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:54.319
the sinker was exactly the opposite.
So he's becoming a sinker slider guy,

924
01:09:54.399 --> 01:09:59.079
to which means his streacout r might
go down a smidge, but I mean

925
01:09:59.159 --> 01:10:02.800
it might work with really good era. So well you start looking too.

926
01:10:03.079 --> 01:10:09.000
And he came into their system in
twenty nineteen. He's he's another one of

927
01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:14.000
these pitchers you know that I think
is developing a bit later because of the

928
01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:19.680
COVID situation. Yeah, it's a
good point too. Yeah again, you

929
01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:23.840
know, hey, miss twenty twenty. You know, there's there's some serious

930
01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:28.560
development time that he missed, you
know, coming into baseball. When he

931
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:33.640
came into baseball, and maybe like
some of the other players we've discussed recently,

932
01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:40.399
that had a bearing on those initial
years and it's now being resolved and

933
01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:44.520
he's moving forward, you know,
a little bit later than expected. Those

934
01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:47.359
old cartoons, Timmy, the zero
was on the left side. He got

935
01:10:47.399 --> 01:10:50.119
the big gauge of the zero on
the left side all the way on the

936
01:10:50.239 --> 01:10:55.560
right side. One hundred and eighty
degrees beyond is one hundred and that's the

937
01:10:55.880 --> 01:11:01.000
like maybe it's a thermometer that says
how word you are about stuff? From

938
01:11:01.199 --> 01:11:05.000
zero? Absolutely no know where you're
going to get a job. I'm not

939
01:11:05.399 --> 01:11:11.680
going to start the season on Blake
Snow totally confident he's going to get a

940
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:15.000
job versus one hundred. I'm scared
of death that he's going to start the

941
01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:19.000
season one time, be ready to
go. Which again, pictures and catchers

942
01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:24.960
report Timmy in ten days. How
worried are you? Zero to one hundred,

943
01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:33.199
twenty? Okay, and what were
you two weeks ago? I'm not

944
01:11:33.359 --> 01:11:38.560
concerned at all. So the concern
is week two, two week, two

945
01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:42.319
weeks from now, it'll be thirty
to forty okay. You know, hey,

946
01:11:42.600 --> 01:11:45.800
and once you get into the second
third week, if he have spring

947
01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:49.640
drink, if he doesn't have a
job by then, then you start downshifting

948
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:54.880
a little bit because he won't be
ready. Yeah, you know, I

949
01:11:54.920 --> 01:11:58.239
think eventually he's going to get a
job. But again, with each and

950
01:11:58.279 --> 01:12:00.319
every passing day, I think you
have to live a little bit more concerned.

951
01:12:00.680 --> 01:12:03.039
And then, like I said,
especially as you get into spring training,

952
01:12:04.800 --> 01:12:09.439
he could miss time in April if
he signs real late. This is

953
01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:14.560
my concern. Let's put let's again. I've been watching this only murders in

954
01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:16.239
the buildings, so I'm starting to
think like a sleuth. Now. So

955
01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:25.680
everybody needs pitching. Absolutely, everybody
needs pitching. Scott Bars knows this above

956
01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:29.800
everybody else. Guys are gonna get
hurt in spring training. Guys on the

957
01:12:29.920 --> 01:12:32.079
Yankees, on the you know Red
Sox of Dodgers. I mean, you

958
01:12:32.239 --> 01:12:38.920
name some prominent team that has a
chance, you know, with playoff aspirations.

959
01:12:39.560 --> 01:12:44.359
If he can't get the deal he's
looking for, would it totally surprise

960
01:12:44.479 --> 01:12:47.000
you if he just says, I'm
just gonna wait until you get to a

961
01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:53.000
crisis situation and I'll be here.
Yeah, and you'll take a one year,

962
01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:57.079
twenty five thirty million dollar contract and
where you go, and then you'll

963
01:12:57.119 --> 01:13:00.039
go through the same process next offseason. Now, be surprised to see that

964
01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:02.560
now, or he could have signed
he could signed a long term deal just

965
01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:08.199
because that's what he wants. But
he could Tim miss part of April and

966
01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:12.880
get rushed through spring training. We
see it all the time. Well yeah,

967
01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:16.560
and that that's not good. Yep. So my my meter is a

968
01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:20.479
little I'm not drafting Blake Snell at
all. I will if he goes,

969
01:13:20.600 --> 01:13:25.199
if he drops, but I'm not
drafting up. He's going in in FBC

970
01:13:25.359 --> 01:13:30.039
as the sixteenth, the sixteenth start
off the board. Tim's got him at

971
01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:32.119
twenty three. Well done there,
But it's I think if we did this

972
01:13:32.239 --> 01:13:35.640
list two weeks two weeks later,
Timmy, at the start of spring training.

973
01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:40.600
He's not signed. It's he's dropping
like a He's dropping like a lead

974
01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:44.800
balloon for me. Yeah. Well, and I think when you start looking

975
01:13:44.840 --> 01:13:47.920
at Jordan Montgomery, I think the
same applies. He's still looking for work.

976
01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:53.560
Yeah, yeah, I agree that. Yeah, It's like I said,

977
01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:57.199
I am marginal concern right now,
but that because concern is gonna escalate

978
01:13:57.319 --> 01:14:00.199
as we move forward. Yeah,
that's do I think Tyler Glass anything else

979
01:14:00.279 --> 01:14:02.640
to say there, Timmy? I
mean, obviously you're he's gone as a

980
01:14:02.720 --> 01:14:05.079
tenth starter off the board. You
got him at twenty six, and I'm

981
01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:10.880
right there with you. Well,
again, we're looking at as a starter.

982
01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:15.880
The stuff's filthy. We've mentioned in
numerous times. I but when your

983
01:14:15.960 --> 01:14:20.119
high Warner marks one hundred and twenty
innings, you're hey, I wish everybody

984
01:14:20.159 --> 01:14:25.159
who I hope Tyler glasnow throws one
hundred and ninety innings this year, I

985
01:14:25.319 --> 01:14:30.880
really do. Can I bet on
that? Not a chance? I agree,

986
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:33.279
totally agree, that's hard to do
that. Justin Verlander, tim he

987
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:36.920
is not getting the love that he
has in the past. He's going as

988
01:14:36.920 --> 01:14:40.600
the thirty fourth starter off the board. You've got him a little higher at

989
01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:45.680
twenty eight, which I applaud because
it is Justin Frickin Verlander until he starts

990
01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:50.479
pitching poorly, Like, isn't it
Nelson Cruz all over again? Well,

991
01:14:51.079 --> 01:14:56.680
he keeps, as I said,
he keeps continuing to five other time.

992
01:14:57.119 --> 01:15:01.560
Yeah, I think the one thing
with Verlander is set your parameters. Know

993
01:15:01.680 --> 01:15:09.760
your parameters, and set them reasonably. Reasonably Okay, I think one hundred

994
01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:13.800
and fifty one hundred and sixty innings
is a is a fine ceiling to be

995
01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:16.520
working with. Don't anticipate one hundred
and eighty hundred and ninety. Cut that

996
01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:20.920
back a little bit, and I
think Justin Berlinder can still toss up a

997
01:15:21.239 --> 01:15:26.319
load of mid three er, making
him a fine value. I think is

998
01:15:26.359 --> 01:15:30.720
a top thirty pitcher. Dylan Cees, you have him at twenty nine.

999
01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:33.000
The NFC's got him at twenty nine, So you're dead nuts on Tim,

1000
01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:38.039
and you right, And I will
read Tim's writing here. A bounce back

1001
01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:44.359
campaign could very well be in order. Just don't pay for it. Yeah,

1002
01:15:44.439 --> 01:15:45.880
I had him as the number six
starter off the board last year.

1003
01:15:47.479 --> 01:15:50.800
Yeah, No, he's not.
He's not a top ten picture until he

1004
01:15:51.039 --> 01:16:00.199
can throw more strikes. Yeah,
it's a problem. Yep. I don't

1005
01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:01.239
know what else to say, Tommy. I mean, it's he's going to

1006
01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:05.159
be alluring for somebody, because again, I've done drafts as you've done draft

1007
01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:11.720
and you see Dylan Cees down there
going in the uh round eighth round and

1008
01:16:12.359 --> 01:16:15.279
it's pretty you know, you get
excited in the sixth or seventh round?

1009
01:16:15.279 --> 01:16:18.119
Should I jump early on the minutes
because it is Dylan Ceas right, So

1010
01:16:18.279 --> 01:16:25.239
it's like, but you're you're guarding, You're warning people be careful. Well,

1011
01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:28.560
the thing is, I think you're
looking at two hundred strike codes,

1012
01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:34.479
but you're also looking at a any
array of maybe four and a half in

1013
01:16:34.520 --> 01:16:39.199
a whip of one forty. You
know, Dylan ces would be the perfect

1014
01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:44.880
pairing if you drafted Cole or Strider. Interesting early, Yeah, I think

1015
01:16:44.920 --> 01:16:48.680
I love that. Actually, I
agree that makes that makes total sense because

1016
01:16:49.319 --> 01:16:51.960
you're going to get the strike oats
a little bit later and you can build

1017
01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:58.479
your offense in between. Right,
But if you're going with a round five,

1018
01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:04.039
round six types, okay, uh, that changes an area of a

1019
01:17:04.079 --> 01:17:08.920
little bit, at least it does
for me. Then all of a sudden

1020
01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:14.720
you're looking for. Yeah, you're
looking at a three fifty three sixty potentially

1021
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:18.279
era and a one fifteen one twenty
throw the one forty. You get yourself

1022
01:17:18.560 --> 01:17:23.279
up, You've dug yourself a hole, right yep. To mean, let's

1023
01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:27.279
take our final break it back and
try to wrap this first segment up a

1024
01:17:27.359 --> 01:17:40.000
little bit. Okay, So I
don't know about you. I loved our

1025
01:17:40.039 --> 01:17:44.640
discussion. Yeah, as did I. It's it's always it's always fun tossing

1026
01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:47.399
ideas back and forth and the what
ifs and maybes and everything else. And

1027
01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:53.319
there's a slew of them with pitching. They're just is in the top thirty.

1028
01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:58.840
Tell me your favorite picture that you
want where you can get him.

1029
01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:05.119
Tanner Biby, Tanner Biby going as
a thirty third pitcher off the board as

1030
01:18:05.159 --> 01:18:10.720
a number three starter. Tim wants
them because he's got him at number fifteen.

1031
01:18:11.199 --> 01:18:15.239
Love it. Yeah, I think
there's number two, but potentially even

1032
01:18:15.239 --> 01:18:18.720
Ace Upside or the Tanner Biby.
Yeah, I'm all over Tanner Biby.

1033
01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:24.640
The other picture that I like a
Lodgeho's not commanding a whole lot of respect.

1034
01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:30.760
Justin Steele in Chicago. Yeah,
we didn't even talk about him.

1035
01:18:30.880 --> 01:18:32.680
Yeah, he's going as a twenty
eighth guy off the board. You got

1036
01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:35.239
him, well, you got him
as a twenty second he's going, so

1037
01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:39.279
you got him six lots higher.
Yeah, I got him a little bit

1038
01:18:39.399 --> 01:18:45.720
higher. And you know, Zach
Efflin another picture that I'm I'm fairly bullish

1039
01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:47.920
on. You look at what he
produced. You know, you've, of

1040
01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:50.600
course, you got the Tampa Bay
thing that you know, you got to

1041
01:18:50.640 --> 01:18:55.920
sleep with every night knowing that you
know there is there is a history.

1042
01:18:55.960 --> 01:19:00.359
But Zach Eflin really pitched well last
year. Yeah, he really did well.

1043
01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:01.720
You always had the stuff, Timmy. He was he was a data

1044
01:19:01.800 --> 01:19:05.000
darling. And then you know he
goes to Tampa and they figure it out

1045
01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:11.720
and they must have made a deal
with the devil. We're going to let

1046
01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:15.359
these these pictures pitch really well when
they come to you, But they're gonna

1047
01:19:15.359 --> 01:19:18.960
pitch a very short period of time. Yes, I was gonna say the

1048
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:26.000
Devil went down to Tampa Bay exactly, exactly. Good stuff, Timmy.

1049
01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:27.760
Let's let's take a break. First, all, what are we having for

1050
01:19:27.840 --> 01:19:30.960
dinner? Ah? Well, we're
gonna take him. We're gonna we're gonna

1051
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:38.159
make some some nachos. A layer
of nachos, salsa, some hamburger,

1052
01:19:38.319 --> 01:19:45.000
some cheese, and then another repeat
and then repeat until it's almost a foot

1053
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:47.760
high, and then bake it in
the oven a foot high. I think

1054
01:19:48.479 --> 01:19:53.359
that's that's pretty funny. So all
right, so it looks it looks sort

1055
01:19:53.399 --> 01:19:59.079
of like around it looks like a
big angel. Okay, so layers of

1056
01:19:59.800 --> 01:20:03.119
Now you're the chip guy, so
what is the appropriate chip for nacha?

1057
01:20:04.079 --> 01:20:13.319
Bite size rounds? For me?
Oh wow, very specific. It was

1058
01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:24.439
was dead serious man, round small
rounds. That's very small. All right.

1059
01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:27.640
So you got cheddar cheese, I'm
assuming or using pepper jack or anything

1060
01:20:27.720 --> 01:20:33.479
like that. Yeah, it's uh
Colby, it's three cheese Blandus Okay,

1061
01:20:34.199 --> 01:20:39.680
yeah, cheddar Colby. And I
can't remember what the other maybe salce on

1062
01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:45.000
it a sala salsa, so sauces
intermixed with in it all. Yeah.

1063
01:20:45.119 --> 01:20:49.560
You have one layer of the of
the of the tacos, and then you

1064
01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:53.359
put some salsa down. Because you
put the salsa down next, so the

1065
01:20:53.399 --> 01:20:57.479
hamburger sticks into the salsa, and
then the hamburger, and then the cheese,

1066
01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:00.520
and then another layer, repeating itself
and bake it in the oven until

1067
01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:08.239
all the cheese melts and it's heaven. So I'm assuming you cook the hamburger

1068
01:21:08.279 --> 01:21:12.119
ahead of time though, Oh yeah, okay, so it's cooked hamburger that

1069
01:21:12.159 --> 01:21:15.119
you're throwing because people people believe it
or not telling people are writing this stuff

1070
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:17.800
down. They're gonna try. There
will be there will be some of our

1071
01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:26.319
listeners that try this. So we're
gonna make sure that we raw hamburger.

1072
01:21:27.560 --> 01:21:30.279
How do you eat it? Do
you just literally with your fingers and just

1073
01:21:30.319 --> 01:21:33.840
pick out it all night? Uh? Basically I take a plate and then

1074
01:21:34.000 --> 01:21:38.960
just just kind of kind a wedge
off it and slap it on my plate

1075
01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:42.600
and the way you go. But
are you eating it? Are you eating

1076
01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:45.239
it with your hands? Or are
you eating it with a fork? Uh?

1077
01:21:46.119 --> 01:21:50.840
It's finger food until you get down
to the crumbson spoon out and I'm

1078
01:21:50.920 --> 01:21:54.800
licking the plate. It's that good. Okay, all right, that's good.

1079
01:21:54.920 --> 01:21:59.359
We're we're finishing up whatever in the
refrigerator, tim because we're heading off

1080
01:21:59.359 --> 01:22:03.479
tomorrow morning about ten o'clock. So, so LORI made a chicken and farah,

1081
01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:09.920
which is kind of a grain with
some sweet potatoes cut up sweet potatoes,

1082
01:22:10.119 --> 01:22:12.720
but it's kind of a salad.
Put it on some greens. It's

1083
01:22:12.840 --> 01:22:15.600
very healthy. That's the only thing
left in the refrigerator, so we'll finish

1084
01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:21.079
that up and that'll be that.
Okay, No, it sounds good.

1085
01:22:21.600 --> 01:22:25.000
Hey, if that's the only thing
left in your fridge, you're doing pretty

1086
01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:28.880
good. You don't want to know
what's in mind when it gets closed to

1087
01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:32.399
be an empty ridge. No,
definitely. All right, let's let's call

1088
01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:35.640
it a day and we'll record the
second half here in a couple of minutes.

1089
01:22:35.680 --> 01:22:38.680
Everybody, be well, Be well,
