WEBVTT 1 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.160 C Jations. Everyone, it's Ritual's walking too. Fantasy Baseball Live. Today 2 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.079 is the twenty sixth of January, about one o'clock in the afternoon, and 3 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.920 this is our Just Prospect podcast, So only what I'll be doing this week 4 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:41.359 as we have finished up all of our prospect work for the winter. I've 5 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:47.439 done all thirty major league organizations and their top ten prospects for the general public. 6 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.799 Our Patreon subscribers get a whole lot more than that, six and nineteen 7 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.439 in total. There's also a top four hundred prospects in the game that I 8 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.039 produced for a Patreon subscriber, and for everyone else, I put out the 9 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.159 top one hundred. I've done podcasts on them. They're all out on Prospect 10 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.239 three sixty one if you'd like to go and take a look at that. 11 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.599 Today I'm going to be doing the top fifteen, maybe twenty players any first 12 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.000 year player draft in a dynasty league since they are starting to come up now, 13 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.319 I'm seeing a lot of people starting to have their drafts. I know 14 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.359 associated with our show. We've got five leagues and their first year player drafts. 15 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.760 All will occur on the fifteenth. Start on the fifteenth of February, 16 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.680 So nice timing to be talking about this. If you don't play in a 17 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:45.280 Dynasty league, it's definitely, I think the way to go in terms of 18 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.159 it's my favorite format I now play in I think ten because we've had it 19 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.719 six more with our Patreon subscribers, so not all of them have drafted, 20 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.879 and we are actually using for four out of the six, we are using 21 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.480 fan track and it's been my first experience with fan Tracks. I played in 22 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:08.159 Tim's twenty team league for a while and you know, and fan tracks has 23 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.520 reached out to me a few years ago and said, hey, we'd love 24 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.199 to you know, we listen to your podcast. We'd love for you guys 25 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:19.280 to bring over your your your leagues over to our site. I checked it 26 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.199 out again with Tim's pott with Tim's league and it was just okay for me. 27 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.599 But when I created the Patreons site, so many people wanted to use 28 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.560 fan Tracks. I said, okay, let's let's try it. And it's 29 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.879 been really really good, so really easy to draft. And one of the 30 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.960 things that is incredibly exciting for me is you're able to create a spreadsheeter, 31 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:46.719 a CSV file and actually upload your your players that you want in the queue, 32 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.879 so your own rankings. So very shortly, for a Patreon subscribers, 33 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:57.199 I'll be producing first year player drafts so that they can just load them up 34 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.439 into a fan tracks ranking list and have that associated. You know, you've 35 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.199 got the fan tracks rankings as well, but you have my personal rankings in 36 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.919 there as well, and it should be eligible to kind of throw up in 37 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.159 there, which is fantastic. I can't tell you what a cool feature that 38 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.680 is. Unfortunately, Jung Ho Lee is it just won't load. So he's 39 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.319 one of the guys is not in the top fifteen, but he's one of 40 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.360 the guys that just will not load. And I've actually reached out to them 41 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.960 to see if you can fare what the problem is. But that's the only 42 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.919 thing. So so I've been talking with the guys out there and they've created 43 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.639 a special link for our listeners to our podcast. So I encourage you, 44 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.759 if you're new to fan Tracks, you're starting the league, go out and 45 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:46.719 do fan tracks FA n t r a x dot Com Forward Slash Prospect three 46 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.199 sixty one that and if you sign up using that, I'm not sure what 47 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:58.479 we get or what anybody gets, but just an acknowledgement that our listeners are 48 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.719 actually you know, listening and me talk about fantracks and how good it is. 49 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.439 So so if you do that and then you'll create a user id or 50 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.719 create your league through that, that would be that would be fantastic. So 51 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.279 let's get on to the list here. Let me go back over to our 52 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:23.000 Patreons site and there it is. So when so the first year player drafts 53 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.199 or for in our dynasty leagues, it is for the players that were drafted 54 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:32.600 last July, for any international players that have been signed up until the date 55 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.360 that we do the draft, and then anybody quite frankly in the player pool. 56 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:42.600 So guys that maybe blew up at the end of last season can be 57 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.319 taken, or if you just need a closer, if you need a first 58 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.040 basement and they're on the waiver wire, you can pick them up. But 59 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.959 most of the first two to three rounds, I'm going to say the fifteen 60 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.439 team league, so forty five players. I'm going to bet that forty out 61 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:02.279 of the forty five players will be players that were drafted last July or sorry 62 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:10.040 tangled up here, players who were last drafted last July or were in the 63 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.600 international signing period that just that just started about ten days ago. So and 64 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.360 I think if we go back to that draft of the July draft, everybody 65 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.759 was talking about how good Dylan Cruz would be and he would be number one 66 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:31.199 overall. Obviously Paul Skeens went number one overall, but I think when we 67 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.360 were early talking, I think if you go back and listen to my podcast 68 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:40.199 back then, it was Dylan Cruise first, probably Wyatt Langfort next. Then 69 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:45.480 you know, we'll see after that. So and so, Dylan Cruz had 70 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.040 a great college career and it actually had a very good kind of pro debut, 71 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:54.519 played well, God, didn't do as well in Double A when he 72 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.399 got there, and that people kind of looked at him and say, well, 73 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.639 what's wrong with Dylan Cruz. He should be just blowing up and ripping 74 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.519 through all levels. And you know, it's could have been you know, 75 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.480 a minor injury, could have just been tough, you know, adjusting to 76 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:11.079 the league, could have been that he's no good. I tendants think he 77 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.399 is not the ladder, but you know, just some adjustment period and so 78 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.680 forth. And then this white Langford guy, who I always believe would have 79 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:26.639 the louder tools, but wouldn't have the higher floor. I thought Dylan Cruz 80 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.319 would be a really high floor player, kind of in the Jackson Holiday kind 81 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.360 of realm where it's a very high floor player. The tools aren't as loud 82 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:41.560 as you know, the Ronald Acunas of the world, but still going to 83 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.639 be a fantastic player. But Wyatt Langford had has more speed, hits the 84 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.680 ball a little bit harder, so kind of allows louder tools, but maybe 85 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:55.360 not as good of a hit tool. But what he showed in his first 86 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.800 introduction of professional ball was not only did he have fantasy friendly tools, but 87 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.399 he hit the ball extremely hard, very high hard hit rates, everything just 88 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:10.439 jumping off his bat, showing speed. But he also really controlled the strike 89 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.120 zone a lot better than I thought and when he was going through the draft 90 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.920 process, so he is, you know, six months later, it's no 91 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.959 longer Dylan Cruise number one. It is Whytt Langford is number one. And 92 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.920 I feel really confident about that that if you've got the number one pick, 93 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.839 you too should take White Langford. At least if I had the number one 94 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.199 pick, I would be taking White Langkord. I can't tell you what to 95 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.399 do because only you can tell yourself what to do. But I would take 96 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:42.720 Wyatt Langford again, really lou tools, I think, a better hit tool 97 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.279 than anybody thought when he was originally drafted. And Dylan Cruise is gonna be 98 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.399 a great baseball player. And if you have the second pick, you have 99 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.879 the second pick, you take Dylan Cruise, thank you very much. In 100 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.680 one of our Dynasty League startups, I took Dylan Cruise with my third pick, 101 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.160 so I'm very very bold him. And does he wind up being a 102 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.959 better player than White Langford, Yes, I think that's possible. But I 103 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.160 do believe whyat Langford is the number to me is the guy that you take 104 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.879 with the number one overall pick, if you're fortunate to have that the last 105 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.920 year, if you could this time last year, I was saying, well, 106 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.920 chee, if you've got the number two pick, we've got the number 107 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.439 one pick. Excuse me, trade down to the number two pick and get 108 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.680 an extra piece and take Jackson Holliday because everybody was taking Drew Jones number one, 109 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.360 which rightly, so I mean really really low tools. I know it 110 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.679 sounds similar, right, low tools and a guy couldn't stay healthy. But 111 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.360 I think in this particular case, Whyitet Langford should be. I would take 112 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.200 him number one. I wouldn't be trading down the number two unless you got 113 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.159 an incredible offer that might include a you know, top thirty player in the 114 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.399 game or something like that. You know, so if you've got somebody had 115 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.879 two first round draft picks, the number two overall pick and the number six 116 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.600 overall pick. But really, once White langth by all means take that deal. 117 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:09.519 But if somebody's offering you the second pick plus I don't know, you 118 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.159 know, the third pick the first pick in the third round, no, 119 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.200 I would rather have Wyatt Langford and take that high end tool. So that's 120 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.960 just my opinion about the two players. Love them both. I think both 121 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.840 of them are going to be very good Major League Baseball players and help you 122 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.200 on your fantasy team. Coming to number three is not Yamamoto. He is 123 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.440 included in this list. I have put Paul Skin's number three. So I 124 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.320 think talking about White Langford together along with Dylan Cruz, let's talk Paul Skians 125 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.440 together with Yamamoto. First of all, Yamamoto, many people will take him 126 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.960 number one overall in their draft, and if they do, I think that's 127 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.840 fantastic. You know, have at it. He's twenty five years old, 128 00:09:52.879 --> 00:10:00.879 so he's a very young pitcher. Obviously incredible success over in the MPB in 129 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.799 Japan. Clearly, the Dodgers, arguably the best organization in baseball, thought 130 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.600 enough of him to throw what three hundred million dollars at him. So clearly 131 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.559 there's something there. And you can just argue, well, chie, who 132 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:24.519 are we to to disagree with the Los Angeles Dodgers. They have much better 133 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:30.399 scouting, more comprehensive scouting. They've seen this guy with their eyes many more 134 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.919 times than something like myself or anybody else who was writing about prospects. You 135 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.320 should just take them number one. Overall, all that logic makes sense, 136 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.960 and if that's what you believe in, by all means do that. The 137 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.240 reason I don't have a number one is multiple reasons. And I'll tell you 138 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.320 again, why have Paul Skins ahead of him? Is I think Yamamota. 139 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:56.360 First of all, there is no guarantee from guys that the skills translate immediately 140 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.559 from Japan over to the United States. That's first and foremost seen it too 141 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.440 many times. That's where I came up the whole zero point zero because look, 142 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.600 I love Tim McCleod to death, as many of you do. But 143 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.120 I mean, obviously he loves Japanese players and talks about him a lot, 144 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.039 and quite frankly, ever Over that promotes that's not the way Over evaluates him, 145 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.720 of my humble opinion, that's where the whole zero point zero kind of 146 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.279 poking fun at him. Yeah, maybe Yamamota is going to be a top 147 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.960 five pitcher in all of baseball, and maybe he's going to do it this 148 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.720 year, but I want to see the translation. I'm not gonna ta if 149 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.799 I have a chance to get White Langford to Dylan Cruz, I'm just not 150 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.000 going to take Yamamoda. I'm not going to take that risk. So that's 151 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.120 first and foremost. I think there's there's a lot of risk associated with the 152 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:46.039 Almamoda just based on history too. He's a little guy, and that's some 153 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.120 part of the reason I got Paul Skins. In front of Paul Skins fastballs 154 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.600 up to one hundred miles an hour with a wicket slider. Now the fastball 155 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.120 is a little flat, grant it, but he's still throws one hundred miles 156 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.399 an hour. There's still a lot to work there. I mean he's a 157 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.799 big and Yamamota is five foot ten with really good stuff and the great splitter. 158 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.159 I just did a write up for our Patreon subscribers on on Kevin Gossman, 159 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.000 and you take a look at his his splitter, and when you've got 160 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:20.320 a great splitter, major League Baseball players can't hit it. And if Yamamotive 161 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.639 splitter is as good as everybody says it is, then he could have a 162 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.759 forty wif rate on that and strike out, you know, two hundred and 163 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.440 twenty five to two hundred and thirty batters a season, and it could be 164 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.320 you know, game, set match type of thing. But I don't like 165 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.840 the size of Yamamota compared to Paul Skins and guys of his size. You 166 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.440 know, they're Marcus Stroman's of the world. I mean, they have a 167 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:52.960 tendency to a get hurt a lot and be underperform which you think they're going 168 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.200 to perform, sir, head to check on what the dogs are parking at. 169 00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.279 So it's a guy. Little guys have a tendency to underperform what we 170 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.000 think they're going to provide when they first get drafted or coming into the league. 171 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:09.399 Uh. And they have a tendency to get hurt because they the wear 172 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.039 and tear on a major league season, it's pretty difficult. Remember, Japanese 173 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.600 pitchers pitch once a week, every six days, and they take the seventh 174 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.960 day off. I don't know which. I don't know if they take Monday 175 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.039 off or Sunday off, but that's the six man rotations. It's a six 176 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.639 it's once. They pitch once a week major League base so I pitch in 177 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.919 every five days. You go, well, that's not much different, it 178 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:35.159 really is. So you're it's a much heavier workload. The hitters are significantly 179 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.879 better in major in the major leagues than they are over in Japan, so 180 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.279 it's going to be a big adjustment, and I I'm going to take the 181 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.879 more physical player in Paul Skeins, a guy that yeah, the MPB and 182 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.759 and the SEC MPB is probably a little bit higher level, but it's not 183 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:56.399 like the difference between it's more like a good High A league from the SEC 184 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.399 and a in a decent Double A league. So there's definitely a step up, 185 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.120 but it's not like the difference between the Major leagues and Low Way or 186 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.559 something like that. So it's a fairly comparable league, and I kind of 187 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.639 like what Paul Skins is going to be able to provide for a team. 188 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.080 But I go Langfort, Cruz, Skiings and the Yamamoto. If you disagree 189 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:22.039 with Yamamoto, I totally get it, and I would not I would not 190 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.159 kind of criticize anybody for taking Yamamoto in front of in front of Paul Skiings, 191 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:35.000 and I would not criticize for taking Yamamoto in front of Dylan Cruz and 192 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.720 White Langford. I'm not going to do it because I want the bat. 193 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.720 I want a guy that has attended, has a chance to be a thirty 194 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.200 twenty guy, and Wyatt Langford and a guy that could be twenty twenty or 195 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.840 you know, fifteen twenty with Dylan Cruz who might hit three hundred. That's 196 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.600 what I That's the player I want, as opposed to a pitcher who could 197 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.240 get who's going to get hurt Unless you're Garrett Cole, you're going to get 198 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:07.399 hurt, and Garrett Cole has had an incredibly healthy career. That's an anomaly, 199 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.639 and most guys get hurt. You hope it's not going to be Tommy 200 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.039 John Serder or some kind of shoulder problem but many times it is, and 201 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.200 I that's why I want the bat, and that's why I want Paul Skins 202 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.279 in front of Yamamoto. So those are our first four guys. I will 203 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.039 pick up the pace a little bit, but I definitely wanted to talk a 204 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.480 lot about them because I think it's important. Let's take a break, get 205 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:39.679 back and do the next A handful of guys I've never buy as Warner Kinkins. 206 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.919 I saw Walker Jenkins play twice in high school. I've kind of talked 207 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:50.039 about this a few times, but it's so impressive to watch a mature high 208 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:58.360 school player playing against basically immature physically immature immature. Is that the right physically 209 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:06.759 let's developed younger base, younger high school players because he was so much larger 210 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.080 than everybody else on the field. But man, it's just that beautiful lefty 211 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.039 swing. It is big boy power. I saw him park a home run 212 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.360 at least four hundred and forty feet maybe more. It was a huge home 213 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.000 run, and granted it came off of an eighty one mile an hour fastball, 214 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.440 but that kind of shows you what ball wasn't thrown very hard, but 215 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:33.759 he was able to create that level of exit. Velocity coming off as bad 216 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.840 on an eighty one mile an hour fastball, so there's plenty a big boy 217 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.120 power there. I think he's only going to get stronger. So I'm playing 218 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.039 the outfi through it is a really good outfielder's playing center field. I think 219 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:45.919 long term he's a corner outfielder. And I don't think he's got good speed 220 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.039 now. I don't think there's gonna be a lot of speed down the rid, 221 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.159 but I think he's going to hit, and I think it's going to 222 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:53.960 be big boy power. So you're talking thirty home run power for me. 223 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.039 With a kid that can hit and you know, score a lot of runs 224 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.960 and lots of RBIs and some stolen bases early in his career, I think 225 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.839 that's the player. I like him a lot. Number six comes at Max 226 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.079 Clark, who's more athletic than Walker Jenkins. Ultimately, I think it has 227 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.079 probably the higher upside the Walker Jenkins. But got off to a really rough 228 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.960 professional debut, and I think it showed that maybe his hit tools a little 229 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.839 bit further behind than what anybody thought. Doesn't necessarily mean he can't solve it. 230 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:27.960 I think he will. I think he's going to be a very very 231 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.799 good baseball player. If you tell me down the road, Max Clark is 232 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:36.079 going to be the better player Walker Jenkins. I think you could point to 233 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.559 that. I just think Walker Jenkins a little bit safer and I think you 234 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:42.559 know what you're going to get there. I think there's a lot more volatility 235 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.559 at the moment with Max Clark. Number three is Matt Shaw. I still 236 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.079 have Matt Shaw very high. I think he was taken thirteenth by the Cubs, 237 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.920 really good professional debut. There's big boy power there. I think it's 238 00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.640 going to be twenty five home run plus. I think there's a field to 239 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.279 hit and some speed. Early in his career, I think you'll see he's 240 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.200 already a He was a college kid a University of Maryland, so I think 241 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.599 you're gonna see that speed start to dwindle, you know, as early in 242 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.480 his career, So don't expect him to be a lot of speed guy. 243 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.640 And is he gonna move off a shortstop to second base? Probably? The 244 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.960 Cubs have a pretty good second pretty good shortstop ectly, pretty good second basement 245 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.000 as well, so I'm not exactly sure where he's going to play. Has 246 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.480 already made it up to double a I there's a chance we see him in 247 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.559 twenty twenty four, but I think realistically it's probably gonna be twenty twenty five. 248 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.599 Another very very good baseball player. A guy who's really jumped up on 249 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:44.599 my list is Colt Emerson. He is with the Seattle Mariners. He got 250 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.359 off to a great start. It was taking twenty seconds, so he jumped 251 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.559 over a lot of guys. But it looks like the athleticism is there, 252 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.960 the field of hit is there. And a guy that I'm actually have jumped 253 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.240 up on my on my prefless on my first year player drafts, and I 254 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.480 moved him up, so you know, I rate that there's a he's a 255 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.559 high floor player. I think the field of hit is gonna be a thing 256 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.759 that really really makes him a very good major league baseball player. But it's 257 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.319 it's more fifteen to fifteen kind of guy. But man, I'll take a 258 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.240 high floor player with some upside and potentially power, particularly as he feels that 259 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.519 I remember his high school kid. So number eight, Colt Emerson coming. 260 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:33.279 Number nine is Kyle Teer. Where was Kyle Teal taken? Let me see 261 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.359 here we move over to spot track again. I don't know why it's spot 262 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:42.680 track and not sport track. But let's see, Kyle Teal was taken with 263 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:47.880 the fourteenth pick, just one behind Matt Shaw, another guy that got off 264 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.480 to a really good start to his major league career, drafted by the Red 265 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:57.000 Sox. And you know, it's hard sometimes to say, particularly with closers 266 00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:02.680 future closers or closure in waiting and a catcher and waiting as well, because 267 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.200 there's so much volatility in both of those roles. But I really think Kyle 268 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.359 Teal is the catcher and waiting and a guy that think is gonna move quickly. 269 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.119 Good defensive chops should be able to hit. There's not a ton of 270 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.839 power. It's not gonna be a twenty five home run guy, but it 271 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.759 could be like a two seventy hitter with fifteen to eighteen home runs hitting. 272 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.880 Could even be a guy that hits in the number two hole. You know, 273 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.240 typically Major League Baseball teams want to put your best hitter in the number 274 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.519 two hole. It's not a light hitting hitter anymore. It is you put 275 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.359 your best hitter at the number two hole. That's what all the science says, 276 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.559 and that's what major league teams do. But you put your best hitter 277 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.079 and with power is even preferable. So that's why you'll see those like the 278 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:52.079 Mike Troutz sing hitting the number two hole of the Jan Soto number two hole 279 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.880 kind of guy. So that's that's the theory. And part of the theory 280 00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.119 is you used to believe that it was the number three, so you'd have 281 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.599 your speed guy number one. You know, this is in the old days, 282 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:06.240 before we had data. You have the number one guy was your the 283 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.279 guy that could get on base and score lots of runs and was fast and 284 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.000 primarily fast, not even necessarily get on base a lot. Number two was 285 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.440 your light hitting guy. Kind of protect them because then you're going to bring 286 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.319 up your big bats three, four, and five, So three hole was 287 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:25.160 usually your best hitter with power. Number four was your big boppers at David 288 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.680 Ortiz boot powels of the world, if you will. And number five was 289 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.960 another power guy. But then as you swung down towards the bottom half of 290 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.880 the lineup is where you had your more the guys who's with higher swing and 291 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.680 mists and lower batting averages and so forth. But as the metrics came out, 292 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.640 people quickly realized that the higher up in the order you had. You 293 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.480 want your best hitters at the top because they get more at bats, and 294 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.039 over the course of the season, you can get forty thirty to forty more 295 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.920 at bats with a guy from even from the number three hole to the number 296 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.680 two hole. And it's just simple math. And people figured that out and 297 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:04.039 said, well, wait a minute, why do we have why do we 298 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.960 have our best hitter in number in the three hole with power, Let's move 299 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.480 him up to the number two hole, and let's put our best one base 300 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.279 percentage guy. Not necessarily a speed guy hitting leadoff. That's why he saw 301 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.720 Anthony Rizzo hit lead off for the Yankees for a while, we see Eduardo 302 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.359 Julianne hitting leadoff for the Minnesota Twins. It's not a speed guy, and 303 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:26.960 definitely Anthony Rizzo wasn't a speed guy. But those are guys that have really 304 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.799 high on base percentage skills, and then you get them on base to let 305 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:36.559 the guys behind them hit, so everything is kind of moved up. So 306 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:41.000 you could see kind of a Kyle Tiel becoming that number two hitter because he's 307 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.720 going to be high on base percentage guy with good power in a real great 308 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.079 feel to hit. Number ten is our first pitcher, so they no, 309 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.400 I'm sorry, I'd lie. Number three and four pictures obviously with Paul screens 310 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.880 and Yamamoda. Number ten becomes our first high school pitcher, and that is 311 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:02.400 Noble Meyer with the Miami Marlands. I've heard nothing but great things about Nobah 312 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.240 Meyer. It's all the building blocks they pitch at the top of the rotation 313 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:11.200 and somebody that I'm actually very excited about. And again the more I talk 314 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.799 to people that have actually seen him pitch, the more excited I get. 315 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.119 Let's do one more and we'll talk. Number eleven with Rehet Louder. Rehdd 316 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.880 Louder was picked by the Cincinnati Reds. And you know, it's funny. 317 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.480 Back in the day, any Cincinnati Red guy was like, oh my gosh, 318 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.519 it's the bandbox and it still exists. But the Reds have done such 319 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:36.440 a great job with their pitching organization. A lot of that came from the 320 00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.559 drive line guys, where Kyle Body worked for the Reds for a couple of 321 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:42.359 years, left a couple of years ago, in fact, just got hired 322 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:48.000 by the Red Sox. So watch out, watch very carefully what the Red 323 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.359 Sox are doing. But back to the Reds, I think he really helped 324 00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:56.440 them reset how they looked at pitchers, their training regimen, etc. And 325 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:03.240 now Reds pitchers are actually very interesting from a prospect standpoint because a lot of 326 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:08.119 those guys have really high upside. So it's it's actually become very encouraging to 327 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:15.119 UH, to me to to not be afraid, to not be afraid to 328 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:21.440 draft Cincinnati Reds pitchers. I have several of them on my UH Dynasty League 329 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:26.680 teams in the my two startup Dynasty leagues that I have done. Louder has 330 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.680 unfortunately slipped through my hands. I do like the player. He was taken 331 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.839 number seventh overall, a little bit under slot, but it's you know, 332 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:41.119 it's a good He's a good left he with a great change up, and 333 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.440 I think it's going to be able to kind of somewhat hit the ground running 334 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:49.000 and be at least a number three starter on your team. So it is 335 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.960 it's a great change up, good slider. You know. The thing that 336 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.799 I like with the Reds is they've been able to help guys increase velocity. 337 00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.799 And that is one thing that I'm sorry Louder is a writing picture. That's 338 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.519 one thing that Louder lax is really the big fastball. But if they can 339 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.759 add a mile or two on his on his fastball, that could be a 340 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:15.400 big difference maker. Let's uh, let's take another break and come back and 341 00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:34.039 finish up this list just had a double check Rehet Louder. You forget he's 342 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:40.000 got the uh, the Jacob Degram wave going on here, he's got the 343 00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:45.400 really long hair. Eventually Jacob de Gram cut his hair, but obviously Rhet 344 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:49.799 Louder still got the young young flow going. But yeah, definitely a right 345 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:56.240 handed picture. So did not make his major league debut long a long college 346 00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.720 season, so that probably just want to give him some extra rest. Number 347 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:04.119 twelve was another picture Hurston Waldrip Waldrop. Let's see where he was? Oh, 348 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:10.559 did I lose spot track? Yeah, looking at pictures of Ret Louder. 349 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:17.680 Let's see if I can bring the bring it up again here? Nope, 350 00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:25.359 spot track, Let's see it's bring this up all right. Waldrop Waldrip 351 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:30.960 was taken twenty fourth, obviously out of Florida by by the Atlanta Braves. 352 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.680 Sorry, another interruption. I apologize. My dogs are down here at the 353 00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.960 beach. They bark at everything. We have very little traffic at the end 354 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.160 of our street. But when there is something somebody out there and it's a 355 00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:51.039 beautiful day here at seventy degrees, so they're barking at everybody, so I 356 00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:52.400 just close up the blind so they won't be able to do it. Anyway. 357 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:59.759 Back to Hurston, Waldrap drafted by the Braves and he has flown through 358 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.960 the minor leagues all the way up to Triple A and that's part of the 359 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.880 reason he really climbed up on my list. I mean, I think he's 360 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.799 a number three starter. I don't think the upside is tremendous here, but 361 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.559 it's a you know, it's a fastball splitter combination. Again going back to 362 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.920 Kevin Gossman and talked about Yamamo, these guys with really good splitters. It's 363 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:23.920 a tough pitch to hit, and I think it's a number three guy and 364 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.839 he could develop itto top of the rotation. I think it's probably more of 365 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.240 a number three guy. But I do like Ristin Waldroup a lot, and 366 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:37.400 he's moved up to number twelve on my list after being drafted. What was 367 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.160 it, what did I say? Twenty fourth? So the next guy is 368 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:47.759 another guy that was actually pretty low, and that is Brayden Taylor. He 369 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:53.400 was actually drafted nineteenth by the Tampa Bay Rays. Again, it's another high 370 00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:57.799 floor player, high own base percentage guy, twenty home run pop. He's 371 00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.880 got some good speeds. I mean, he could be looking at maybe a 372 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.119 twenty twelve kind of guy and a guy that can really hit. It's a 373 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:10.559 typical guy that the guy that the Rays like to like to draft, and 374 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.680 I kind of like the player as well. Number fourteen is Tommy Troy, 375 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:22.079 another guy with good power and speed combination potential plus hittel. I'm surprised he 376 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.440 kind of lasted all the way down to the Diamondbacks, so they got him 377 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:37.759 Troy. They got Tommy Troy at number twelve, so he was you know, 378 00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.960 I think got really good value there. And then coming to number fifteenth 379 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.359 is in Riky Bradfield, and this is a very interesting guy. It's tough 380 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.680 for me to figure out where to rank in Riky Bradfield. First of all, 381 00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.960 an eighty grade runner, potentially an eighty grade defender as well. So 382 00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:00.200 this is a guy that smells and feels like defensively like a Jackie Bradley junior 383 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.000 kind of player, and he can absolutely fly just crazy sixty times out there, 384 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.519 and it looks like he's gonna be able to hit, but there's not 385 00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:14.960 any power there. And you know, if it had been most anybody else, 386 00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:18.240 I'm gonna kind of said, well, you know, it's this is 387 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.400 kind of another speed guy. But the Orioles drafted him at seventeenth slot, 388 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.000 and the Orioles just know what they're doing here, And yeah, so I've 389 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.640 kept his ranking somewhat true to where he went. I haven't really dropped him 390 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:34.519 down much. And look at his Fantasy baseball that we're talking about here, 391 00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:38.960 and you want guys with speed speed plays in the fantasy baseball game. So 392 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.640 I've got him up there. Let me do a couple of other guys and 393 00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:48.559 then wrap up and maybe just give you a couple of tidbits, maybe a 394 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.359 little bit lower. Number sixteen is Colin Hawk with the Matt shortstop. Another 395 00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:57.960 guy with field to hit, speed and power. This all right, guys, 396 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:04.759 I'm back. Had a bit of a situation came up, So I 397 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:10.079 don't know who I was talking about. I think I just got done Colin 398 00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.559 Hawck. So I'll go to the next guy. But let me tell you 399 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:17.279 what happened. So my dogs were barking crazy. So we live on an 400 00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:22.799 island here in North Carolina Ocean Alla Beach, Beautiful Island, and most of 401 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.359 the people here were old because that's who retires out to the islands. And 402 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.440 so we have a gentleman who lists two doors down from us named Bill Lovely 403 00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:37.200 Man, ninety years old. We last night we went out to dinner with 404 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.720 him, took him to kind of a neighborhood get together, drove him over 405 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.839 there. So he came back to the house at the front door and the 406 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.599 dogs are going crazy. I'm here in the in the living room, in 407 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:55.000 the big great room or whatever. So stopped the podcast once find out what 408 00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:57.720 was going on. He's on a cane, so this is walking upstairs is 409 00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:03.920 not easy for him. So he says he thinks he left his phone in 410 00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:07.720 my car, Like, oh great, my wife's up in Wilmington to day 411 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.559 with the car. I'm going, well, let's call back over to your 412 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.160 house. I'll bring my phone and I'll call your phone to see if we 413 00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:21.000 can find it in the house. So going to his house and I call 414 00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.960 his number, and sure enough, good news is the phone starts ringing in 415 00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.200 the in the house. So we just have to go find it. Turned 416 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.839 out it was in his bathroom. So that's what I'm dealing with here, 417 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.319 poor guy, lovely lovely man. And it's this, you know, you 418 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.359 see guys getting ninety and stuff like this happens. It just it just happens, 419 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:42.640 and you got to help, got to help your neighbors. So I 420 00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:52.079 sincerely apologize for the disjointed podcast or podcast here, but sometimes real life calls. 421 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.400 And I felt like that was, you know, nine year old neighbor 422 00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.960 walks up set of stairs to come get you. It's a reason to stop 423 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.279 what you're doing because you don't know what's going on. But that was pretty 424 00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:07.359 funny. Okay, So number sixteen was Colin how Number seventeen is Bryce Eldridge. 425 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:13.079 I like Bryce Eldritch is drafted as a two way player by the Giants, 426 00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:16.000 pitcher and first base, and most people that I talk to believe he 427 00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:22.480 will be a first baseman, a power hitting first baseman. There is cs 428 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.440 six foot seven, so there's some concern about how much swing and miss he's 429 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:29.880 going to have in his game, but you know, there should be big 430 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:34.359 boy power there and I guess could he be both a pitcher and a hitter. 431 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.119 I mean, the only person that that's you know, everybody knows, 432 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:42.759 the only person that's really worked out for is shoey Otani. And we saw 433 00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.119 it a little bit with a couple of other players, but for the most 434 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:50.720 part, most guys that try to do both wind up not being able to 435 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:55.319 develop as either a hitter or a pitcher. So I'm hoping that Bryce Eldridge 436 00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.000 winds up a hitter. So those are like the top seventeen guys. Some 437 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:07.160 other guys that the first showed Ammanagua. I put at number twenty six. 438 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.839 He's left handed pitcher. We know that he's signed with the Cubs. He's 439 00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:17.519 down there. Let's see. Let me give you so the highest ranked kid 440 00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.000 that was drafted as a J two player, which is a J fifteenth player, 441 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:27.759 is Leo di Varies. That's the San Diego shortstop. I put him 442 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.720 at number thirty two. It's an interesting guy. Did draft him in one 443 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:35.680 of my startup dynasty leies and you know, sixteen year old kid, a 444 00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:39.400 lot of dream one long way to go. But yeah, supposedly, as 445 00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:44.279 you know, everybody loves what they saw, and the Padres do such a 446 00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:51.079 great job at at signing and developing these players that you kind of want to 447 00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:54.640 take that plunge some interesting guys a little bit further away. Let's come back, 448 00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:58.680 take my final break and do a quick little run through through these top 449 00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:15.199 seventeen again. W y A t T first name, Lankfort second name. 450 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:20.599 The second person is Dylan Cruz, outfitter with the Washington Nationals.

Yamamoto why why? 453 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:37.519 Uh pitcher with the right handed picture with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Walker Jenkins 454 00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.079 is number five outfielder with the Minnesota Twins, and Max Clark outfitter with the 455 00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:47.559 Detroit Tigers.

Two really good off speed 463 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:25.199 pitches. If you can add some more velocity to his UH to his arsenal 464 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:30.639 for his fastball, this could be a really solid top of the rotation Guy 465 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:36.039 Hirston waldrip h U R s t O N waldrip w A w A L 466 00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:39.599 d r E P picture with the Braves moving through the system very quickly. 467 00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:45.480 Braydon Taylor can really really hit with your Tampa Bay Rays, Tommy Troy, 468 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:51.480 number fourteen with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
