00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:07.799
Ninety five miles an hour riding two
is head. He hopped down first with

2
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:13.640
the lump on his face, and
on the very next pitch he up and

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:25.839
stole second face with greatst be He
wasn't born, but he had a day.

4
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.079
Yes, well, well, well, spring training has started and B

5
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:36.200
sides are hitting bombs. Welcome to
episode what are we on six of Prospect

6
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.320
B Sides? I'm your host,
Nate Handy. I'll be talking at you

7
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.240
for a little while here. We're
going to get into the B side history

8
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.320
and selections of the National League East, and man, I hope you guys

9
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:53.920
brought your not nice pants today because
we're gonna get extra dirty. Not in

10
00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.960
a great way either. I did
not necessarily realize how little rough the NL

11
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.439
East has been for us. It's
a hard life picking stones and pulling teats,

12
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.000
but sure as God's got sandals,
it beats fighting dudes with treasure trails.

13
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.400
Well, I shouldn't say that it's
been extreme on both ends. I

14
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:17.799
guess, with the Braves giving us
some of our bigger success stories and the

15
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.560
rest of the division. But of
course I will find something to talk about

16
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.159
with all of these potential winners or
losers and as it is a long standing

17
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.359
tradition on this show to start off
with a little Q and A, we

18
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.879
have no interest in what's going on
with you. We have no idea what's

19
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.359
because she means no idea. Being
a couple of il buddies. We're joking

20
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.319
around in the chat room the other
day, maybe we should refer to my

21
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.560
loyal listeners as the handy dandies,
And I think I like that. At

22
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.640
Cotton Candy Candy asks if I've had
any early spring training takeaways. Well,

23
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.640
that's a good question at Cotton Candy
Candy, of course. Yeah. First

24
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.519
thing, Well, so I don't
think I've mentioned that I am a fan

25
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.760
of prospects that come from the great
state of Wisconsin. I like to keep

26
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:13.039
an eye on baseball, and Wisconsin
has improved tremendously, So I think the

27
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.560
biggest thing as a fan and as
a fantasy owner with plenty of shares,

28
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.719
Gavin Lucks tearing his ACL sucks,
especially given the opportunity that was in front

29
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.439
of him this season. Just really
feel bad for him. So that's probably

30
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.840
been the biggest thing so far.
This past Tuesday was pretty cool. We

31
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:38.400
had four b sides go yard Sebastian
Espino who will talk about next week,

32
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.560
Brett Wiseley who will talk about next
week, Ezekiel Tobar and mcl garcia.

33
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.680
I've also seen Alex McGarry sneaking into
some late inning playing time and whatnot.

34
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.159
I think he's done nothing but strikeout
so far, but that's okay. I

35
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.439
also saw this was this was cool. Jeremy Reeves is getting into some games

36
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.599
late. We spoke about to those
last two guys during the NL Central episode.

37
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.560
You know, overall, just for
me, it's fun to see a

38
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.919
lot of names and back scores with
the Major League logo up on top.

39
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.240
You know, just some of these
guys getting an opportunity show what they can

40
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.520
do. So I don't know that's
what for me. It's bring training,

41
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:23.120
That's mostly what that's about. Just
some of the lesser known names getting a

42
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.479
chance, and who's getting hurt,
who's staying healthy. It's been kind of

43
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.479
fun to see all that. To
do about the pitch clock, watching a

44
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.520
lot of minor leagues, this is
old news. I admittedly in the beginning

45
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.199
didn't really like it, but it
didn't take very long for me to not

46
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.439
even remember that it was a thing. Every once in a while, you'd

47
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.000
get a call an automatic ball or
strike and kind of a bigger moment,

48
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.360
and that's that's a bummer. But
I could probably count on maybe three fingers

49
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.800
the times I saw that last year. That might actually be two fingers.

50
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.479
Just don't get why they still have
it in the ninth inning and extra innings.

51
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.199
Just get rid of it then at
that point, I don't know.

52
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.319
The only thing I don't like about
it is that as a fan, you

53
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:14.520
could spend two hours watching the game
to potentially have an umpire waving his arms

54
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.839
to be the last the last action
of the game. So yeah, you

55
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.759
get games twenty five thirty minutes shorter
or whatever it's going to be. But

56
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.360
I don't know, in a game
like that, it's not worth it to

57
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.399
me. Hopefully we don't ever see
it. So Andrea Lipstis had a home

58
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.720
run, So Casey Schmidt has hit
everything. He's got a home run,

59
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.759
a couple of doubles, RBIs and
I don't know. I'm recording this on

60
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.360
Tuesday, so there might be a
lot more stuff that happens by the time

61
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.680
you hear me talking about this here. My calculations are correct. When this

62
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.000
baby hits handy eight miles per hour. Here, I gotta see some serious

63
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.600
shit. Do one more question here. This one actually comes from my wife,

64
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.399
the president of the Handy Dandies,
wants to know why all of the

65
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:06.000
questions I answer or appeared to be
from women. I hadn't really noticed that,

66
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.519
but she was right. I didn't
really know what to tell her.

67
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.480
I guess the ladies just love to
go b side. I just got some

68
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.279
mink. Well, you want to
work in this minute, Okay to Miami

69
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:23.279
Marlins, have mercy on our souls. Trying to find a hitter that is

70
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.439
owned in a few percent of leagues
that you liked from the Marlins. I

71
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.959
mean, tell me a hitter that's
owned a lot in the Marlins system that

72
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.480
you liked less to say, it's
been a struggle. Well, I was

73
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:39.000
never really expecting to hit on a
Marlin and we haven't. Our first selection

74
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.279
was d L Burgos b U R. G Os. Now, this is

75
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.920
another player who tore the ship out
of the DSL twenty nineteen. He hit

76
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:53.319
three eighty two, four eighty one, slugged seven twenty five with nine home

77
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.160
runs in thirty six games. He
was with the Cardinals at that time.

78
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.360
And the Marlins made a trade for
him, traded Austin Dean for Burgos.

79
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.560
So again, coming out of twenty
twenty, not a lot of other ideas,

80
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.680
this was our choice. I believe
he was owned and like one percent

81
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.000
of leagues at that time, and
he's now owned in one percent of leagues.

82
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.759
I believe he just turned twenty two
years old. He's a left handed

83
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.879
bat six one two o seven.
Despite playing some A ball in two thousand

84
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.959
twenty one, he did not reach
that level again this season, only playing

85
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.759
some rookie ball and after that scorching
DSL since he's come over to the States

86
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.759
and it hasn't been good. He
actually came over in twenty nineteen. That's

87
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.199
why his DSL stint was a little
short. You know, that's always an

88
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.959
exciting time when a guy gets moved
from the DSL to the States in the

89
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.959
middle of the season. But like
I said, it's been struggle bus.

90
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.160
He started out two twenty one in
a ball and he struck out thirty five

91
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.079
percent of the time. I don't
know if he's hit above two hundred at

92
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.959
all, and he hasn't been back
up since. He had a twenty nine

93
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.959
percent k rate in two twenty two, he's another player who's scouting Gray.

94
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.399
It's just kind of baffle me.
Future fifty fives in places and things like

95
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.800
this, and I don't know.
I don't have any faith that that's going

96
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.600
to get there, but maybe that's
premature of me. I also don't think

97
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.199
i've seen him because his a ball
stint. In twenty twenty one, I

98
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.480
don't believe there was any broadcast games
regardless. We moved on after one year,

99
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:24.519
and I still didn't have any good
Marlin ideas. So I found a

100
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.319
friend, a friend who watches a
lot of games employ and he suggested to

101
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.680
me Bennett Hostetler, who was a
two twenty one, eighteenth round pick out

102
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.600
of North Dakota State. He signed
for sixty K, but he did play

103
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.759
some a ball that year and was
actually named by MLB dot Com. I

104
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.319
think an organizational All Star. Twenty
twenty three will be his twenty five year

105
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.040
old season, so he was an
older guy when he was drafted. He's

106
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:53.319
a right hand hitter, listed at
six foot two hundred pounds. You'll also

107
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.879
see him listed as a short stop, but he is no longer a shortstop.

108
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.120
Primarily caught and DH this past year
in HIGHA, and that seems to

109
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.560
be where he will be playing here
on out. But after his draft he

110
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.199
made some noise. He slugged four
eighty one in A ball and then five

111
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.319
hundred in High A. But then
this past season he only hit two thirty

112
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.600
two with a three eighteen on base
and slugged only three fifty eight with nine

113
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.759
home runs. Now, given where
House Stetler's played, it's hard to get

114
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.120
a good look at him Beloit broadcast, but it's from like a press box.

115
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.199
But I don't think this was a
bad call by my friend. He's

116
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.080
a skilled guy. He's athletic.
You know, he's not Bo Jackson,

117
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.759
but he's an athletic guy, good
size, strong, has a good arm,

118
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.080
and he can swing a bat.
I know his numbers weren't very good

119
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.799
this year, but I can't help
but think that some of that had to

120
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.600
play into him moving to catcher.
There's a lot to learn move into that

121
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.399
position, not to mention learning how
to get beat up some You know,

122
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.679
clearly the House Stetler isn't a guy
that we need to be owning in any

123
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.200
leads. Despite the lack of production, his strikeout rate did drop significantly to

124
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.080
like twenty percent, So I don't
know, just kind of a guy that

125
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.399
I'm going to keep in the back
of my mind. Sometimes catchers show up

126
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.200
in the big leagues. Quote no
name, catchers show up in the big

127
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.600
leagues at like twenty seven, twenty
eight years old. Who knows. Maybe

128
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.639
House Stettler is one of those guys. Obviously, a lot of that will

129
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.159
depend on how he's progressed defensively as
a catcher, and I have no idea

130
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.960
what that report is. Well,
my friends suggested him because his biggest selling

131
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.360
point, if you will, was
that he made loud contact and some of

132
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.440
the looks that I've seen I don't
disagree with that. He can hit the

133
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.399
ball hard. But regardless, we
had to move on, and I was

134
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.000
glad to move on because I actually
finally found him. Marlin, I am

135
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.120
a little bit excited about. I
think Bigfoot is blurry. That's the problem.

136
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.720
It's not the photographer's fault. And
that's Javier Sonoya, who played some

137
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.799
second base, third base, in
center field in twenty twenty two at low

138
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.919
A. Believe this will be his
twenty year old season. He's a right

139
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.759
hand hitter, not a very big
guy, five to nine one hundred and

140
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.480
fifty pounds, and I probably would
say that's accurate. So twenty nineteen international

141
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.840
free agent out of Venezuela. Now, he started off the season in low

142
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.159
A and I think he struggled at
least that's what the numbers say, got

143
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.360
sent back down to rookie ball.
But then when he came back, he

144
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.240
hit two eighty four three twenty two
on basse slugged four oh eight with three

145
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.559
home runs and eight stolen bases.
Now, there was very little to see

146
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.840
if Sonoya. Maybe a couple of
series, so another very small sample selection.

147
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.039
It was hard not to like this
kid. It seems to play hard

148
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:43.480
and have fun, joking around with
the second baseman after stealing bases, hammered

149
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.639
up with the catcher, things of
that nature. But there might be a

150
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.960
good hitter in here. His swinging
strike rate was seven percent. Gotta like

151
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.799
that. His k rate was eleven
and a half percent. Gotta like that.

152
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.559
Now he looks in control up there, he's and he's another young guy

153
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.879
I think is swinging it, and
he swings and he doesn't miss, And

154
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.320
to be honest with you, I'm
not really sure I even liked the look

155
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.320
of his swing. Mechanically, but
it was hard to tell. But he

156
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.919
strikes me as a hitter who will
that will get the most out of himself

157
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.679
at the plate, you know,
almost like Alex Bregman gives me that is

158
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.720
that you know, gives me that
feel. Sonoia's numbers on the season won't

159
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.519
blow you away or anything like that, but there might be some legit contact

160
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:30.360
skills here that kind of just started
to find themselves the second half of the

161
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:35.519
season. Also, a guy I
forgot to mention perusing some semi public Baseball

162
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:41.320
Savant data. Surprisingly, he had
some high exit velocities that I was not

163
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.559
expecting. So we'll see where they
start him off. But Javier Senoia a

164
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.240
player we're going to pay attention to, at least in the beginning of the

165
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:54.240
season. Then our Marlin's pitching selection
is Luis Palacios, who the same friend

166
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.720
I mentioned earlier had suggested to me
or had brought up to me a couple

167
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:05.399
of seasons ago, sharing that this
guy's command was extremely impressive. Ironically,

168
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.039
I think Pelasios has maybe fallen out
of my friend's favor a little bit while

169
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.240
I have gotten more interested. But
that might also be because I finally got

170
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.840
a chance to see him. Polacios
is currently rastered in four percent of fantracks.

171
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.759
Leagues believe this will be his twenty
two year old season six two lefty.

172
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.080
I don't know. He's good size. They haven't listed at one sixty.

173
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.440
I'll take the over. He's a
twenty sixteen international free agent out of

174
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.360
Venezuela tracking. He went three levels
this year, a high A and then

175
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.759
got two double A starts in at
the end of the year. His splits

176
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.919
are pretty even. And this is
a command guy, A softer tossing lefty

177
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.519
command guy, which I know the
fantasy world hates. But I also think

178
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.279
there's more soft tossing lefty success stories
than the fantasy world likes to admit,

179
00:12:52.639 --> 00:13:03.720
and they do come into play fantasy
wise guy. What I didn't say anything

180
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:13.360
when right now, I'm sorry,
I don't listen to me spaced out all

181
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.799
day. From what I've gathered,
Platios has three pitches, a fastball,

182
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.480
changeup, and a breaking ball.
I think the breaking ball is crossed between

183
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.159
a slider and a curve. And
like I said, command is the name

184
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.279
of his game. Now, Placios
did get hit up, but I don't

185
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.759
think he gets squared up that often. I mean, there's some home runs,

186
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.120
but see a lot of soft singles, and pitchers can live with that.

187
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.919
As you know, I will value
skills on the command and execution end

188
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.960
of the pitching spectrum, probably more
so than the most folks analyzing pitchers for

189
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:56.159
fantasy purposes, simply because the stuff
could potentially get coached up. Placios had

190
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.679
one hundred and twenty four strikeouts in
one hundred and thirty one in two thirds

191
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.600
any in the lower levels. He
had a one point one five whip,

192
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.120
but a four point one seven er
A. Now, the runs were coming

193
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.480
less as the season progressed, and
he's not Maybe what I said before isn't

194
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.240
quite totally accurate, saying that he
didn't get squared up because he didn't kind

195
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.399
of give up a lot of home
runs. If his command is great or

196
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.919
as good as they say, perhaps
learn to stay off the middle of the

197
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:30.120
plate will get a little easier.
Let's just see if the stuff can get

198
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.919
a little bit more bite and see
if you can ride the much rarer and

199
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.080
harder to find skills into a big
league job. Sure he'll be pitching upper

200
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.879
levels this year, and we'll get
to find out pretty quick if we should

201
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.080
continue paying attention to Louise Palacios or
not. All right, let's talk about

202
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.559
a more exciting organization, one that
has been a B side heater for us,

203
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.840
the Atlanta Braves. Our initial selection
was von Grissom. Don't quite know

204
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.360
the ownership rate at the time of
putting the list together, but a few

205
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.200
months later in July, he was
owned in two percent of leagues season and

206
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.919
a half in an offseason later.
Just looking like he's going to be an

207
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.600
everyday player for the Braves, or
at least competing for that. He's owned

208
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.279
in darn near every league. Now, we don't need to get into him

209
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.919
too much. He was an eleventh
round pick in twenty nineteen out of high

210
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.039
school. You know, it's funny
some of these sort of blind dart rookie

211
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.159
league shots that we took that season, there were many more with better looking

212
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.399
numbers than Grissom's. Granted he was
probably about a year younger than some of

213
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.960
them, but at eighteen years old, he hit two eighty eight three sixty

214
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.200
one, slept four hundred in complex
ball, hit three home runs in forty

215
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.919
four games. Twenty twenty seemed to
be good for him. He came out

216
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.799
as a twenty year old and eight
ball hit three eleven four h two four

217
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.240
forty six five home runs. But
the thing about Grissom is he until he

218
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:56.600
reached the bigs, his strikeout rate
never got above fifteen percent, and like

219
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.440
many young hitters, the power came
on a little bit later. Now I'm

220
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.759
skeptical if he will ever hit for
a ton of home runs, but it

221
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.240
is part of his game. He
is capable. I mean he hit five

222
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.840
and forty one games in the majors. It's von Grissom definitely one of our

223
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.120
success stories. Going into last season, we went with Justin Henry Malloy,

224
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.879
who we talked about last week.
He's now with the Tigers. No,

225
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.440
I don't hate BA Ball, but
I paid a fool. His ownership raid

226
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.000
is up to thirty percent. It
was that one percent when he came onto

227
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.840
the list. So this season when
it came time, I rolled the dice,

228
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.679
so to speak, and went with
the first year player. Unsure how

229
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.279
that would totally work out, if
that was cheating on my part or not,

230
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.240
but I went with Ignacio Nacho Alvarez, who was their fifth round pick

231
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.679
in the twenty twenty draft and played
some a ball near the end of the

232
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:52.600
year. Ignast, we are wristling
in a sacred place, okay, or

233
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.000
friends, listen to me. Listen
to Ignacio. I know it. It's

234
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:03.440
fun to rissom spiral right to the
face or a bunch to the phase,

235
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:08.880
but you cannot do it because it
is in the Bible not to wrestle your

236
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:14.119
neighbor. Back in November when I
made my list, Natural was owned in

237
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.079
two percent of leagues. He is
now up to seven percent. It's a

238
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.960
little tricky going into first year player
draft season. He seems to have gotten

239
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.319
some fans. Can't say that I
blame them. To give you an idea,

240
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:30.000
though, Spencer Jones even when Fantraks
just turned their leagues over, so

241
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.880
I'm sure they're you know, their
initial leagues are all dynasty leagues. But

242
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.880
Spencer Jones was owned in thirty percent
of leagues at that time. So give

243
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:44.000
or take the most popular to maybe
even like second tier first year player guys

244
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:48.480
are always going to start off around
twenty five thirty percent. So I'm still

245
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.519
gonna call Natural very much a B
side, but our next iteration will probably

246
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.000
have to replace them. But Nato. I mean, for one, I

247
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.200
always find it interesting when a team
will play a teenage year their draft year.

248
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:06.200
Natur was a California prep who played
one year of junior college, which

249
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:11.039
is also proving to be an interesting
demographic to check out for endeavors like ours.

250
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.920
There's a nineteen year old right hand
hitter listed at six foot, one

251
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.000
hundred and ninety pounds. I think
maybe I mentioned this, but he was

252
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.720
drafted in the fifth round, signed
for five hundred K. Listening to the

253
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:25.920
Baseball America podcast about the Braves top
ten, they had mentioned forgive me,

254
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.839
I don't remember who it was,
but whoever cover that area for BA had

255
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.839
asked about that area and any duco
players that we needed to know about,

256
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.160
and no one seemed to mention Natro
And I don't know about you, but

257
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.599
I pay attention to what the Braves
do in their system. I'm not sure

258
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:45.079
there's a system I'd rather one of
my pitching investments to be in than the

259
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.240
Braves. Just watching some of their
young guys in the lower levels, the

260
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.960
way they go about their business.
I very much appreciate talking about pitching to

261
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:59.039
development and talking about working on perhaps
your weakest elements as a pitcher in games.

262
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.079
As think there's a prudence to how
a lot of them go about their

263
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:06.160
business. And I don't think there's
a coincidence that they have done well hitting

264
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:10.079
wise. They do something pretty well. They've had some success, you know,

265
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:14.759
Like we talked about Grissom, Michael
Harris, Austin Riley. Now I

266
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.279
understand Riley was a first round pick, but he was a what later round

267
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.000
or supplemental round prep, you know, Michael Harris, he wasn't a nothing

268
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.920
prep but a third rounder, you
know, point being some success, There

269
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.319
was some prep hitters and natural being
a fifth round pick, that's not a

270
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:37.319
nothing. But considering that none or
very few other MLB teams were on him,

271
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.400
it's a bit of an out of
the box choice. And we're into

272
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:44.519
that sort of thing around here.
But more importantly than all that stuff was

273
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:49.000
watching NATO's fifteen inch games down in
Augusta. I can see what the Braves

274
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.400
were interested in. Knows how to
hit the ball when it gets deep on

275
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.319
him already has a knack of fuel
for that. Fifty percent of his bad

276
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.720
at balls went opposite field? Now
does that me? And that he struggles

277
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.079
to catch up to velocity I don't
think so. Stample size again very small,

278
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:08.640
but I didn't get that feeling.
It would have liked to have known

279
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:11.640
the velocity on a couple of the
fastballs that he hit, though, but

280
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.480
wasn't privy to that. But nato
A, he's a solid guy. Put

281
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:21.000
some swings on balls outside hands,
bad head going to the ball, staying

282
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.400
real nice and balanced, so him
waste a couple into the gap. He's

283
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.680
a player who walked like twice as
much as he struck out in junior college,

284
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:32.160
which whatever junior college, but it
very much seems to be the kind

285
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:36.759
of hitter he might turn into.
Seemed to have great song awareness. I

286
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.319
had wondered because of Fangraft's speed rating, which I have no idea what that

287
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.799
is or how that's calculated, or
what that means. If he was fast,

288
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.039
I don't think he is. I
don't know why he had the highest

289
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:53.039
speed rating out of all the B
sides. Additionally, he gets really good

290
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:59.960
reviews. Defensively played shortstop anther bass, which is interesting because the little bit

291
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.160
out of defense that I saw I
was like, I don't know about this.

292
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.200
He seemed to have a very odd
and throwing motion to me, almost

293
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.759
like shot Putty, but evidently he
has a really strong arm. You know,

294
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:17.319
people can talk about line drives with
him or ground I don't care about

295
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.640
any of that stuff right now.
I think we're talking legit, good looking,

296
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.359
real hitter Clay in the system.
I very much trust. In his

297
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.519
brief stint, Natur had a five
point eight percent swinging strike rate. He

298
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.279
hit two ninety four with a four
ninety three on base percentage, and slugged

299
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.079
three seventy three. He did not
hit a home run. Well, he

300
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.559
hit a home run in rookie ball. I think there's a compact efficient swing

301
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.720
there. Energy transfers well enough.
I bet we see some home runs from

302
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.000
Natur this year, and we'll definitely
be watching initially for our Braves picture.

303
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:53.200
I was gonna go with Luis Day
of Vila, who I reviewed for Prospect

304
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:59.240
Picture list and review. Smaller size
lefty who's already been on like three different

305
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:06.039
teams, but a three pitch command
guy who really not very excited about in

306
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.680
a fantasy sense. But I really
kind of wanted to pay attention and will

307
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.519
pay attention to him because he's going
to talk about the end of the pitching

308
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:18.960
spectrum. He is far from the
end with really good stuff. I think

309
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.640
he has very mediocre to below average
stuff, but he's a good pitcher,

310
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.200
so he's almost just like a little
case study for me. Let's see how

311
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.599
far this guy could go with maybe
some limited tools. But in twenty four

312
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.720
games started, one hundred and twenty
six and one third innings in High A,

313
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.079
he had a three four nine r, a one point two seven win,

314
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.039
one hundred and twenty nine strikeouts to
forty five walks. It comes out

315
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:47.000
as a fifteen point eight percent kine
his walk per nine, and he was

316
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.279
getting even better down the stretch.
Now, I know we've talked about some

317
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:55.200
pitchers who has some good ends of
their seasons and one thing. I don't

318
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.720
want to blow this out of proportion, but I think something we should note.

319
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.519
At the end of the season,
and you get a lot of promotion,

320
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.839
right, but it's not like these
lineups are chuck full of all these

321
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.720
new guys just coming up to a
new level. Well, you will get

322
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.799
a few in there, it's not
anything that makes me think that the improvements

323
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.839
by these pitchers at the end of
the season are because of that. But

324
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:22.799
if you're purely just like stats scouting, you know maybe their era is a

325
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.319
little bit better because of it.
So let me stay of Ela. I

326
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:29.480
mean I just talked to him,
I just talked about him, but I

327
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.680
decided to go with another first year
player after noticing that his ownership rate is

328
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.319
only at three percent. And we're, you know, well into first year

329
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:44.519
player draft season, and that's Adam
Mayor Or is it Meyer or Mayor m

330
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.720
A I E R. Bamboo backs
it or tan backs hit wicker backs hit

331
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:52.960
accept. Yeah. So that's one
of the two words that Derry can't say,

332
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.720
right, is the ollen Derek.
Yeah, Derry can't say that we're

333
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.319
breakfast either. He was the Braves
seventh round pick this draft out of Oregon.

334
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.960
I will not pretend to have watched
a bunch of him because there isn't

335
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.279
a lot to watch. So Mayor
came down from Canada to pitch in the

336
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:14.559
Cape what would that be the summer
of two twenty one, and he turned

337
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.319
a lot of heads. He has
a potential cheat code slider and a changeup

338
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.000
that isn't too shabby either. I
want to say, is fastball velocity?

339
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:25.440
I think they report is at like
ninety three or something like that. But

340
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:30.480
he has or may have an optimal
release point. So, like I said,

341
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.400
he wiled a lot of people in
the Cape, and just like a

342
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:38.079
lot of the college pitchers, we
were anticipating good seasons from in twenty twenty

343
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.799
two, Mayor got hurt. I
think he only got like fifteen innings in

344
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:48.480
at Oregon. And what's also precarious
about this is he decided to have the

345
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.920
internal brace surgery or implant or whatever
instead of having Tommy John. I imagine

346
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:59.319
the young man had very good reasons
for choosing that. I don't know anything

347
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.559
about it. He should be pitching
this season. I don't know what level.

348
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.039
He's listed at six foot two hundred
and three pounds. He's a righty,

349
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:08.559
and yes, he was a seventh
round draft pick, but he's signed

350
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:12.640
for one point two million dollars because
he has first round stuff. We could

351
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:18.240
be talking three legit, legit weapons. There's a fantastic interview with him and

352
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:25.039
Jeff Ponts on Prospect Live YouTube,
and for me, it's interesting because he's

353
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:29.640
very much, or potentially very much
on the other end of the spectrum from

354
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.799
the other pitcher I've been taking.
And I talked about Adam Maser well,

355
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.359
I mean, I can't even say
that. I don't I have not seen

356
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:41.720
Mayer enough to know if what the
command is like, seen some videos from

357
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.559
the Cape and some from Oregon that
interview, and read some reports. But

358
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.079
for his price in first year player
drafts, what do you got to lose?

359
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.400
I mean, talent wise, I
don't think he's very different from guys

360
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.839
going much much higher than him.
I'm sure if you don't want to mess

361
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:00.279
around with the injury stuff, I
understand. But Adam Meyer, we are

362
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:04.319
two twenty three Braves B side pitching
selection, and I can't wait to watch

363
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:08.079
him pitch this year, especially if
he's in August at a start, because

364
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:15.720
they have a great angle to watch. The Philadelphia Phillies not quite as barren

365
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:19.839
as the Marlins system as far as
bats over the recent years, but nonetheless

366
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:26.200
a little tricky to find an unpopular
bat with some excitement. Our initial selection

367
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:30.400
back in two thousand twenty one was
Marcus Lee Say, who was a twenty

368
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.960
nineteen eleventh round pick PREP choice out
of the state of Maryland, signed for

369
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:38.880
four hundred and forty K. I
think the story was another athletic potential power

370
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:45.400
speed upside. I think did some
things in rookie ball his draft year a

371
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:49.039
very brief stint two twenty one.
He had a pretty nice run in Complex

372
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:53.519
ball and then got a brief A
ball promotion where he hit just two twelve

373
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.039
and slugged less than three hundred.
Then at that point, entering two thousand

374
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:03.359
twenty two, like we talked about
during the Al West episode, I decided

375
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.519
to go with the Idyl Sanchez instead, who was obviously traded to the Angels.

376
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.359
But this past season, Marcus Lee
saying he didn't blow the doors out

377
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.880
during an eighty four game single A
assignment, but he earned a three week

378
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.720
promotion towards the end of the season. He hit nine home runs total just

379
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.799
one in High A, and stole
nineteen bases. But he didn't strike out

380
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:29.319
about thirty percent. And he's a
lefty who doesn't seem to hit lefties very

381
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.359
well yet. Anyways, excuse me. Maybe he hit eleven home runs,

382
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.000
but all of his home runs were
against right hand pitchers. But it was

383
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.839
interesting. I saw he got into
a Major league spring training game today.

384
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.079
I don't think he did anything,
but this will be his age twenty two

385
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.759
season. I wouldn't be surprised if
we see him around a little bit.

386
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.519
Don't have a very good feel for
him, as there's still been very little

387
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.160
of him to see on video,
and I don't recall what picture I was

388
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.119
watching for Jersey Shore, but an
outfielder by the name of Andrew Pineda caught

389
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:07.559
my attention. Do it, you'll
just make a list. Pineda is currently

390
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.319
owned in zero percent of leagues.
He's twenty years old, another left handed

391
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.279
bat, decent sized kid. He's
listed at six one hundred and sixty five

392
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.119
pounds. I would take the over
on that, and I also caught win

393
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:23.680
that and he put on some significant
muscle this offseason. Here's a twenty eighteen

394
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:30.119
international free agent signed out of Venezuela, and his two twenty two numbers aren't

395
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.000
impressive looking on the season both stops
combined, he hit two oh six with

396
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.599
a three oh one on base percentage
and sled to three thirty nine. But

397
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.400
I liked the look of him at
the plate and went down a rabbit hole

398
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.839
with him in the video. Now, granted again, there isn't a ton

399
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.119
to see, but a decent amount
from a ball and man, he just

400
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.920
seemed very unlucky to me, which
you know, might make a little bit

401
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.680
more sense why a guy who hit
two nineteen and a ball got a promotion.

402
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:02.559
His babbif in Hia was two fourteen, and I saw an interview with

403
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:07.039
him after he hit a walk off
or something like that game winner, Big

404
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.160
game, whatever it was, I
don't remember, but he was speaking about

405
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.680
how frustrated he had been and how
good that felt, because he felt like

406
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.359
he was doing a lot of things
right, but just having a lot of

407
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:21.079
unlucky outcomes. The last hitter I
can remember seeming this kind of unlucky was

408
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:25.559
Casey Schmidt back in twenty twenty one
in San Jose. But looking at some

409
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.759
semi public savant stuff and you see
a lot of high exit velocities, And

410
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.519
before promotion to High A, he
did have a twenty five game stretch in

411
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.240
Low A where things started to go
his way. He hit three eighteen with

412
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.119
a four or four on base percentage
and slept five to eleven. There's some

413
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.079
swing of miss. He's aggressive,
but I think he has a pretty good

414
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.559
strike zone awareness, and I don't
think the chase seemed too high, but

415
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.319
again, not a ton of looks. The strikeout rate was about twenty six

416
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.000
twenty seven percent, which is not
ideal. And now we don't get great

417
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.559
camera angles, like you don't usually
get to see the right fielder start his

418
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:07.200
route. But man, he made
some really impressive diving defensive plays that I

419
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.279
saw. I mean I saw because
they were like highlights that came with the

420
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.000
game. I wasn't trying to watch
him play defense. But maybe they weren't

421
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.640
great reads off the ball and didn't
need to be diving plays. But strikes

422
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.240
me as a pretty athletic, can
run, can move outfielder. I happen

423
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:27.960
to know he has his fans within
the organization, which you know who doesn't,

424
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:32.039
otherwise they wouldn't be there. He
might be more of like a line

425
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:34.759
drive pole hitter at this point,
better at hitting the ball out in front,

426
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.799
But I don't know. I think
there might be a potentially more exciting

427
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.359
player than sort of meets the stat
lin's eye here. You know, twenty

428
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:48.440
years old playing in High A.
Let's see what Leandro Pineda does this season.

429
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.400
And then our Phillies B side selection
is Noah Scurrow, who is owned

430
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.759
in three percent of leagues. He's
a twenty four year old right hander.

431
00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:00.279
I've seen him listed at sixty three
and also six but I'm gonna guess he's

432
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:03.599
probably six foot, but I don't
know. Strong, good sized guy,

433
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.119
solid two hundred and fifteen pounds,
and part of the reason why he might

434
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.119
be a little bit under the radar
is he was one of these two thousand

435
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:18.240
and twenty undrafted free agents out of
Liberty University via Canada. Squirrel will be

436
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.440
playing for Team Canada in the WBC. What a great day, fucknadiens everywhere,

437
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.799
Winnipeg Drummers playing the March of a
thousand foughts as his traditional for the

438
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.680
Canadian Royal Family. He pitched ninety
nine Double A innings before promotion to Triple

439
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.920
A for four starts. Now he
had a four point six five r A

440
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:42.240
with a one point four one whip
in Double A, which isn't great.

441
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:47.119
I believe hitters hit like two seventy
off of him, as he watched less

442
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:51.160
than three per nine, but the
babbit was three fifty eight against him.

443
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:55.119
He struck out one hundred and fifteen
during those ninety nine Double A innings and

444
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:59.960
had a pretty nice four game stretch
in Triple A where he gave up seven

445
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:06.119
runs and twenty one innings and struck
out eighteen walked nine Skirrel might have an

446
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:10.319
interesting mix of offerings here. Now. His fastball velocity is low nineties,

447
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:15.000
but I suspect he's got a nice
release point and all that stuff. Because

448
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:20.079
his fastball up in the zone it's
hard for hitters to square up or touch

449
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:22.400
at all. We've seen some of
these guys of late and the miners with

450
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.480
the low nineties fastball that plays really
well up in the zone. He also

451
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:30.960
has a nice looking, more traditionally
shaped curveball, fairly firm. I'm not

452
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.799
sure the velocity on it, but
it's not one of these slow seventy mile

453
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:38.559
per hour deals or whatever. And
there's also a slider that I don't know.

454
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:43.680
It's almost cutter ish. No,
that's not totally right, but point

455
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.720
being, I think he's got three
different speeds there in the north South game.

456
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:52.440
With that fastball and that curveball seems
to play fairly well for him.

457
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.200
His biggest bugaboo is the whole thing
might be missing an ingredient. I don't

458
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:58.880
think he throws a change up.
I did not see him, but I

459
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.920
also did not watch a whole time. And as he needs to be better

460
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:07.279
against lefties, left he's got him
pretty good, but we'll see. Maybe

461
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.960
that's something in progress. I saw
he pitched an inning the other day in

462
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.319
spring training. I don't think we
need to go out and be grabbing our

463
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.960
Noah scuro shares, but an arm
that might be entering or close to the

464
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.160
bigs who'll keep a little eye on, at least to start the season.

465
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:27.559
And who knows, maybe if he's
progressed a little bit and shows up making

466
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.799
a spot start or something like that, and you need a streamer at least,

467
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.200
you know a little bit something about
Noah Scurrow now if you didn't already.

468
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:37.680
Oh and I wanted to mention about
scurrows fastball, you know, for

469
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.000
a guy who only throws ninety two
and has a fastball that has to play

470
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.359
up in the zone or is more
effective up in the zone. Maybe it's

471
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:47.799
just me, but I always wonder
about home runs being a problem. But

472
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.119
he's done well there, at least
up till now. We'll see as hitters

473
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:54.519
get a little better. But he
has kept home runs down to under one

474
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:57.960
per nine innings. So yeah,
I don't know. I found that a

475
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:04.680
little interesting. The New York Metropolitans
yet to give us a B side win

476
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:08.239
because frankly, our first two years
selections just didn't give us much to even

477
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:14.079
look at. Our initial selection was
Blaine McIntosh. Don't really know why.

478
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:17.559
If I remember correctly, we were
having a hard time trying to identify met

479
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:24.599
that first list, and McIntosh was
a two nineteen thirteenth round pick Tennessee Prep.

480
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:29.400
The story was a big, impressive
athletic guy. He's listed at six

481
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.400
to four, one hundred and eighty. He's still owned in one percent of

482
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:36.920
leagues, and rightfully so. He'll
turn twenty two this season. Left handed

483
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:40.719
bat. I don't think his initial
two nineteen little rookie ball stint was anything

484
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.360
impressive statistically, and then in twenty
twenty one he struck out forty five percent

485
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:50.440
of the time in seventeen rookie ball
games. Twenty twenty two, he hit

486
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:53.119
two thirty one, slugged three eighty
five and thirty three rookie games, and

487
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:57.559
was promoted to a ball where he
hit three hundred, zero home runs and

488
00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.360
struck out forty percent of the time
and just nine games, none of which

489
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:05.280
were broadcast. Then he was hurt
and shut down for the rest of the

490
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.079
year. So I don't know.
I've never seen him play baseball. I

491
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:10.840
think there's a legit question out there
if he can really hit, but maybe

492
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:15.000
we see him around, maybe we
don't. I had moved on anyways heading

493
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.880
into twenty twenty two and went with
what would have been a first year player

494
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:22.679
in Kevin Kendall, who was the
Mets twenty twenty one seventh round pick out

495
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:25.159
of UCLA. He's currently owned in
one percent of leagues. He had first

496
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:30.440
caught my attention watching some Ucla in
two and twenty. No, that's not

497
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:34.199
right. Maybe it was had to
have been before it all got shut down.

498
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.000
He's a really athletic kind of leadoff
type hitter. It's a short stop,

499
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:42.239
but moved off because Matt McClain was
there and played center field. And

500
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:45.719
after the draft he tore up a
ball and you know, obviously a shorter

501
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.000
stint. Hit three twenty seven,
four twenty one with a four to fifty

502
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.880
one slug hit, a home run, stole eight basses in thirty one games.

503
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.559
Kendall seems to be what I would
call a legit fast guy, a

504
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.159
legit burner who's proving he can play
up the middle, in the dirt or

505
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.519
in the outfield as a pro.
He's been splitting time between second pace and

506
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:07.880
shortstop. But the phrase as a
pro hasn't been very long because he missed

507
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.360
pretty much the entirety of the twenty
twenty two season with injury, getting only

508
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.480
three games in at the very end, but the Mets did send him to

509
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:19.760
the AFL to make up for some
time. I think he flashed some of

510
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.360
his contact and speed skills there.
He hit a home run. The numbers

511
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:27.000
weren't super remarkable, hit like two
hundred or something like that, but not

512
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.400
going to take too much out of
a small stint there from a guy who's

513
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:34.119
just getting back from some injury and
perhaps playing at the highest level he has

514
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.280
yet you know, he held his
own a little bit there. So Kendall

515
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.400
will turn twenty four this season,
hasn't played above a ball yet, but

516
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:45.039
regardless, still interested to see.
I mean, really his career gets started.

517
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.000
But there could be an interesting skill
set here, you know, maybe

518
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:52.800
something like a very poor man's sail
frelic. Probably less home run ability,

519
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:57.320
but not a guy that I'm done
paying attention to yet, and he would

520
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.239
have continued to be our B side. Met up they ran into another player

521
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:05.800
that caught my interests, and that's
junior Tillian, who was a teenager playing

522
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:07.920
in a ball this year, currently
owned in one percent of leagues. He's

523
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:12.320
a right hand hitter, listed at
six one two o two. He's a

524
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.880
twenty nineteen international free agent out of
the Dominican and there's more of him to

525
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:21.519
see the most in that league because
Saint Lucy does broadcast. Another player who's

526
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.280
season stat line won't jump off the
page at you, but entering August he

527
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:30.119
was slashing two sixty one three oh
six four fifty seven with eleven home runs.

528
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.320
He slowed down after that and spent
some time on the IL, ending

529
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.599
this season at two forty eight three
twelve four oh six. He struck out

530
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:43.159
less during his cold streak and was
at about twenty three percent on the season.

531
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:45.679
Now, the twelve home runs,
it's a little interesting because five of

532
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:51.880
them came in two games. But
sneaking some semi public savant data, Tillian

533
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:58.039
hits the ball hard to all fields. Another guy stacking multiple hundred plus EV

534
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.239
games. His pool rate was just
a tad under forty, and I saw

535
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:07.760
him hit some missiles opposite field.
Tillian worked his way up to Saint Lucy's

536
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.480
three whole hitter. He played shortstop
two thirds of the time and second base

537
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:16.639
to rest. Strong guy, strong
kid, solid lower half, and probably

538
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:21.559
some room to grow as well.
And to be honest, he really kind

539
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.960
of reminds me a lot of a
pirate that we talked about a few episodes

540
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:31.159
ago, Daria Lopez, except Tillian
strikes me as a more capable defender,

541
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:37.280
which I know is Lopez's big knock
or one of probably his biggest. So

542
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:40.239
Junior Tillian could be a sneaky guy
to keep an eye on this season.

543
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:45.559
If he's twenty years old and high
A, hitting the ball this hard and

544
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:47.880
improving on some of the swing of
mass and some of the chase, he

545
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:59.079
could be putting up some big numbers. Very cool. Then our Mets pitching

546
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:02.440
choice is Jeff free Cologne, who's
currently owned in zero percent of leagues.

547
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:07.199
He was a twenty eighteen international free
agent out of the Dominican Believe. He

548
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:12.440
turns twenty three years old this season. Like June, listed at six one,

549
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.199
one hundred and seventy, his season
didn't get started until June. He

550
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.519
threw forty seven and a third innings
in a ball and twenty five and a

551
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.760
third innings in HIGHA with an era
of three two three in a ball and

552
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:29.440
one point zero seven in HIGHA.
He walked less than two and a half

553
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:32.400
per nine on the season and never
walked more than two in an outing.

554
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.320
Strikeouts weren't super bountiful, but did
start to rack up towards the ends of

555
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:42.599
both of his stops. He had
twenty two strikeouts in his last sixteen and

556
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.880
a third innings pitched in High A. Now, I don't know if he

557
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.639
was coming back from injury or what
the story was, but seemed to be

558
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:52.559
a guy whose pitchcounts were kind of
ramping up as a season progressed. He

559
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:58.880
made several relief appearances, extended relief
appearances, but a guy who seemed to

560
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:00.519
be working up. His last start
of the year, he went seven innings.

561
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:04.960
Now, granted it was on sixty
eight pitches. He struck out eight

562
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:09.320
that outing, giving up only three
hits. That performance was against a questionable

563
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:14.920
Winston Salem lineup White Socks affiliate.
Like we had talked about an AL Central

564
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:16.639
episode, they had moved a lot
of guys up to Double A. But

565
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:22.000
regardless of all that, cologne strikes
me as having some pretty dang good execution

566
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:28.119
in command of his pitches and looking
at some semi public savant stuff from his

567
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.760
from his a ball stint fastball can
get up to about ninety four ninety five,

568
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:36.440
probably sits a few miles per hour
lower. But he throws a four

569
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.480
steamer, a two steamer, a
cutter, a curveball, a changeup,

570
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:44.360
and maybe even a slider. Don't
know if the slider and curveball just kind

571
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:47.400
of blend together. And now he
has all of those pitches. But seemed

572
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:51.280
to me in the handful of games
that I watched some of which makes a

573
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:53.400
lot of sense. He isn't out
there like throwing all of these offerings all

574
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:58.639
the time. But you're hard pressed
to find Cologne throwing a non competitive pitch.

575
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:04.079
Yeah it's good now. Of course, I don't know if any of

576
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:08.159
his offerings is like plus or exceptional, but sure seems like some of all

577
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.960
parts sort of guy and if you
can execute like I think he was showing,

578
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:15.000
and you know, who knows,
maybe some of the arsenal ticks up.

579
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.960
Might be an interesting guy that we
see pitching in the upper levels this

580
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:23.760
season, says Jeffrey Cologne. Oh
and I almost forgot another met B side

581
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:30.079
who was actually the Padres choice heading
into two thousand twenty two and was selected

582
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:34.599
by the Mets in the minor league
portion of this last year's Rule five draft.

583
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:39.280
And that's Augustine Ruiz, who's a
big, strong lefty from Mexico who

584
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:44.719
was signed by the Padres in the
two thousand and sixteen international period. He

585
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:50.239
spent twenty twenty two playing in Double
A and then spent some time on the

586
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.639
development list and went back down to
High AS listed at six two, two

587
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:58.920
hundred and fifteen pounds, but in
two twenty one, Ruise hit twenty one

588
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:01.639
home runs between HIGHA in Double A, most of them in High A.

589
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:06.320
Struggled a little bit upon him getting
promoted towards the end of the season to

590
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:10.119
Double A. Ruise just struck me
as you know, a potential left handed

591
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:15.360
power bat. Didn't strike me as
a very athletic fella, but didn't strike

592
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:17.599
out much and hit the ball hard
and hit some home runs, and was

593
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:22.360
what twenty one years old at the
time, But twenty twenty two did not

594
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:24.599
hold much progression. Like I said, he started in Double A, where

595
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:29.760
he hit two thirty seven three fifty
two and slept only three eighty two with

596
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:34.360
two home runs twenty five point three
k rate, which was actually a little

597
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:37.159
bit lower than two twenty one,
and all of that in ninety one plate

598
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:42.400
appearances. Then when he went down
to HIGHA, he produced at even a

599
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:45.320
slightly lesser clip, but did hit
home runs and did strike out at his

600
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:49.159
lowest clip of their career. But
I mean, I don't know, is

601
00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.159
that impressive after getting sent down the
level. I don't know, And I

602
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:54.159
don't think I watched a lick of
him from last season, so I don't

603
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:58.719
know if the Mets can help Ruise
get back to slugging. You know,

604
00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:02.559
maybe there's something interesting to watch here, but until that happens, probably won't

605
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:08.320
be talking too much about Augustine Ruiz. The Washington Nationals probably the most improved

606
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:13.800
farm system over the last calendar year
or so out there, and the shortest

607
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:19.639
B side list in baseball. My
initial selection Israel Pineda is still my two

608
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:23.719
twenty three selection, and I believe
the only player on the list this year

609
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:29.280
who has actually made the big leagues. He got a very small, what

610
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:32.960
weak taste at the end of two
twenty two, and yet his ownership rate

611
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:37.880
is two percent. Pineda has always
been liked by the organization. He's a

612
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:44.159
catcher with a cannon and power,
but he had strikeout issues, swinging miss

613
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.920
issues. Well, I think Pineda
kind of had a breakout season last year

614
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:51.639
without much notice. Pineda will be
just twenty two years old. He's a

615
00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:53.960
right hand hitter, listed at five
eleven, one hundred and eighty eight.

616
00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:59.039
Actually played four levels last year High
A, Double A, Triple A in

617
00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:04.199
the BIGS two thousand and sixteen international
free agent out of Venezuela signed for four

618
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:07.400
hundred and fifty thousand. Really pinnatives
starting to maybe look like a pretty good

619
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:12.760
B side selection, But it really
was just kind of by happenstance that he

620
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.400
has stuck around on our list just
because it didn't have anyone else in the

621
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:21.039
Nationals that I was into. The
bad guys need to get lucky every time.

622
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:24.679
The good guys just need to get
lucky once. Two twenty one was

623
00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:29.559
a rough season. There were way
too many strikeouts, but it's ka dropped

624
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.519
by ten percent this last season and
the production came. So he started off

625
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.400
the year got sixty seven games in
in High A where he hit two sixty

626
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.639
four, which was a huge improvement
from his two o eight the year prior

627
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.480
Select four to forty three, and
when he got to double A he produced

628
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:50.079
even even better two eighty three,
forty five, thirty eight, striking out

629
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:52.559
only seventeen and a half percent of
the time, eight home runs in low

630
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.920
way and seven and high A.
Then he got promoted up to Triple A

631
00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:00.280
for just six games small sample did
hit a home run, and then he

632
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:02.960
played four games in the Bigs.
Now, sure they have kuibert ruise,

633
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:07.239
but he's a still young guy.
See how that goes. But Panada,

634
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:12.360
in his cannon arm, he threw
out a very high percentage of base runners

635
00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:16.079
in the low miners, which is
impressive to me because pitchers down there suck

636
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.480
at holding base runners on. I
know a lot of times you'll hear about

637
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:24.199
stolen bases in the lowers. That
often gets followed up with how the catchers

638
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:29.159
are very good, but majority of
those bases are stolen off of the pitcher

639
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.639
in my opinion, so I think
that speaks on how good Panada's arm is.

640
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:36.280
So sure, maybe he's just a
guy trying to position himself for a

641
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:38.960
backup job right now or in a
year or two or something like that,

642
00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:44.480
But man, how volatile is catching. It seems to change quicker than any

643
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:47.519
other position. So I have a
pinada share in a thirty particular league.

644
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:52.400
I have been chasing catchers and forever. Maybe one of these years I'll just

645
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:54.639
get a set it and forget it
catcher. But can't see him to stop

646
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:59.719
myself from trading any of the good
catching prospects I get there. But Israel,

647
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:04.800
it seems to me a young man
who made huge offensive strides, can

648
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.280
play some defense, should be owned
in more than two percent of leagues.

649
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:12.559
That our Nationals pitcher. There's a
guy I just kind of discovered myself this

650
00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:15.519
offseason, and I've I really enjoyed
the couple outings I saw, and that

651
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:21.400
is Pablo Eldonis, who's owned in
one percent of leagues. Twenty years old,

652
00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:25.119
another lefty who isn't gonna blow up
radar guns. I think it's fastball,

653
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:30.360
probably ninety three six one, listed
at one hundred and sixty pounds.

654
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:34.239
I'll take the over. He played
complex ball and low way past season.

655
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:37.440
He was a twenty nineteen international free
agent out of the Dominican Republic. You're

656
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:42.079
talking a three pitch guy, fastball, change up, slider and the slider

657
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:45.800
probably isn't very firm, but it
sure gave hitters down there some fits.

658
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.760
And again, it's a guy who
probably has good secondaries and can execute them

659
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.159
really well, and that's why he
can probably have a lot of success down

660
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.320
there. I think he'll still have
to prove his stuff to me along the

661
00:46:55.320 --> 00:47:01.400
way. I did tweet out his
six strike out pitches from his A debut,

662
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:06.119
which was in AUGUSTA and a good
angle, So if you want to

663
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:09.039
check out a look at his stuff, I'm at pitching specs on Twitter.

664
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:13.639
Aldonas didn't get a lot of innings
in this year, twenty six and two

665
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:17.960
thirds at Rookie Ball thirteen and three
starts at a ball. He struck out

666
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.119
thirty three in Rookie Ball sixteen and
a ball, but he strikes me as

667
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:28.599
having some advanced command with all of
his offerings. Seemed especially good at putting

668
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:31.559
his breaking ball on the edges,
off the plate, back foot to rights.

669
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:35.920
We see plenty of guys this age
add some v low. Again,

670
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:38.960
we're talking small sample, but he
and Louis Feldez of the Dodgers, who

671
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:44.719
have spoken about her kind of two
of the arms, especially lefties, younger

672
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:50.119
lefties that I'm most excited to watch
beginning of this season. So that's Pablo

673
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:55.400
eldonas now he isn't a B side
because he's owned too much, but Mitchell

674
00:47:55.480 --> 00:48:01.199
Parker is a favorite pitcher of mine
in the national system. About Bob Well,

675
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:07.599
I'm trying to record what is it? What Matt Vogel's mom is on

676
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:15.719
the phone for me, Ladies and
gentlemen. We got him all right?

677
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:21.000
Well we survived the NL East.
I might have to take two showers after

678
00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:24.000
that, Muddon, But I don't
know. Natro's interesting. Adam Mayor,

679
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:30.000
I'm really excited to see have your
Sonoya might be a fun high contact guy

680
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:36.840
to pay attention to. Pablo eldonas
Kevin Kendall, Junior, Tillion Leandrew Pineta.

681
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:39.159
The Woye seems to be one B
side hitter who kind of blows up

682
00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:43.840
big that I did not really anticipate. We'll see if the NL East can

683
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:46.760
do it this year. Next week
we will get into our last divisional deal

684
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:51.639
and discuss the AL East. I
think that one might be more exciting than

685
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:53.920
I believe. We have two weeks
until the season starts, hoping to have

686
00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:58.440
a guest on. I think that's
in the works and gonna go down,

687
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:02.159
maybe do a little bit of spring
training review, checking on some B sides,

688
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:07.000
playing, maybe doing some things that
I might take a week off before

689
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.800
the season starts, or get another
guest regardless, thanks again for hanging out

690
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:14.639
with me for a little bit here. Let Chicago Farmer do his thing,

691
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:21.280
be well and talk to him Monday. Riding to his head, he hopped

692
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:27.320
down the first with the lump on
his face, and on the very next

693
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:37.440
pitch he up and stole second face
with greatst beat. He wasn't born,

694
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:42.920
but he had a daddy. Yes
