C Jations. Everyone, it's Ritual's walking too. Fantasy Baseball Live. Today
is the twenty sixth of January, about one o'clock in the afternoon, and
this is our Just Prospect podcast, So only what I'll be doing this week
as we have finished up all of our prospect work for the winter. I've
done all thirty major league organizations and their top ten prospects for the general public.
Our Patreon subscribers get a whole lot more than that, six and nineteen
in total. There's also a top four hundred prospects in the game that I
produced for a Patreon subscriber, and for everyone else, I put out the
top one hundred. I've done podcasts on them. They're all out on Prospect
three sixty one if you'd like to go and take a look at that.
Today I'm going to be doing the top fifteen, maybe twenty players any first
year player draft in a dynasty league since they are starting to come up now,
I'm seeing a lot of people starting to have their drafts. I know
associated with our show. We've got five leagues and their first year player drafts.
All will occur on the fifteenth. Start on the fifteenth of February,
So nice timing to be talking about this. If you don't play in a
Dynasty league, it's definitely, I think the way to go in terms of
it's my favorite format I now play in I think ten because we've had it
six more with our Patreon subscribers, so not all of them have drafted,
and we are actually using for four out of the six, we are using
fan track and it's been my first experience with fan Tracks. I played in
Tim's twenty team league for a while and you know, and fan tracks has
reached out to me a few years ago and said, hey, we'd love
to you know, we listen to your podcast. We'd love for you guys
to bring over your your your leagues over to our site. I checked it
out again with Tim's pott with Tim's league and it was just okay for me.
But when I created the Patreons site, so many people wanted to use
fan Tracks. I said, okay, let's let's try it. And it's
been really really good, so really easy to draft. And one of the
things that is incredibly exciting for me is you're able to create a spreadsheeter,
a CSV file and actually upload your your players that you want in the queue,
so your own rankings. So very shortly, for a Patreon subscribers,
I'll be producing first year player drafts so that they can just load them up
into a fan tracks ranking list and have that associated. You know, you've
got the fan tracks rankings as well, but you have my personal rankings in
there as well, and it should be eligible to kind of throw up in
there, which is fantastic. I can't tell you what a cool feature that
is. Unfortunately, Jung Ho Lee is it just won't load. So he's
one of the guys is not in the top fifteen, but he's one of
the guys that just will not load. And I've actually reached out to them
to see if you can fare what the problem is. But that's the only
thing. So so I've been talking with the guys out there and they've created
a special link for our listeners to our podcast. So I encourage you,
if you're new to fan Tracks, you're starting the league, go out and
do fan tracks FA n t r a x dot Com Forward Slash Prospect three
sixty one that and if you sign up using that, I'm not sure what
we get or what anybody gets, but just an acknowledgement that our listeners are
actually you know, listening and me talk about fantracks and how good it is.
So so if you do that and then you'll create a user id or
create your league through that, that would be that would be fantastic. So
let's get on to the list here. Let me go back over to our
Patreons site and there it is. So when so the first year player drafts
or for in our dynasty leagues, it is for the players that were drafted
last July, for any international players that have been signed up until the date
that we do the draft, and then anybody quite frankly in the player pool.
So guys that maybe blew up at the end of last season can be
taken, or if you just need a closer, if you need a first
basement and they're on the waiver wire, you can pick them up. But
most of the first two to three rounds, I'm going to say the fifteen
team league, so forty five players. I'm going to bet that forty out
of the forty five players will be players that were drafted last July or sorry
tangled up here, players who were last drafted last July or were in the
international signing period that just that just started about ten days ago. So and
I think if we go back to that draft of the July draft, everybody
was talking about how good Dylan Cruz would be and he would be number one
overall. Obviously Paul Skeens went number one overall, but I think when we
were early talking, I think if you go back and listen to my podcast
back then, it was Dylan Cruise first, probably Wyatt Langfort next. Then
you know, we'll see after that. So and so, Dylan Cruz had
a great college career and it actually had a very good kind of pro debut,
played well, God, didn't do as well in Double A when he
got there, and that people kind of looked at him and say, well,
what's wrong with Dylan Cruz. He should be just blowing up and ripping
through all levels. And you know, it's could have been you know,
a minor injury, could have just been tough, you know, adjusting to
the league, could have been that he's no good. I tendants think he
is not the ladder, but you know, just some adjustment period and so
forth. And then this white Langford guy, who I always believe would have
the louder tools, but wouldn't have the higher floor. I thought Dylan Cruz
would be a really high floor player, kind of in the Jackson Holiday kind
of realm where it's a very high floor player. The tools aren't as loud
as you know, the Ronald Acunas of the world, but still going to
be a fantastic player. But Wyatt Langford had has more speed, hits the
ball a little bit harder, so kind of allows louder tools, but maybe
not as good of a hit tool. But what he showed in his first
introduction of professional ball was not only did he have fantasy friendly tools, but
he hit the ball extremely hard, very high hard hit rates, everything just
jumping off his bat, showing speed. But he also really controlled the strike
zone a lot better than I thought and when he was going through the draft
process, so he is, you know, six months later, it's no
longer Dylan Cruise number one. It is Whytt Langford is number one. And
I feel really confident about that that if you've got the number one pick,
you too should take White Langford. At least if I had the number one
pick, I would be taking White Langkord. I can't tell you what to
do because only you can tell yourself what to do. But I would take
Wyatt Langford again, really lou tools, I think, a better hit tool
than anybody thought when he was originally drafted. And Dylan Cruise is gonna be
a great baseball player. And if you have the second pick, you have
the second pick, you take Dylan Cruise, thank you very much. In
one of our Dynasty League startups, I took Dylan Cruise with my third pick,
so I'm very very bold him. And does he wind up being a
better player than White Langford, Yes, I think that's possible. But I
do believe whyat Langford is the number to me is the guy that you take
with the number one overall pick, if you're fortunate to have that the last
year, if you could this time last year, I was saying, well,
chee, if you've got the number two pick, we've got the number
one pick. Excuse me, trade down to the number two pick and get
an extra piece and take Jackson Holliday because everybody was taking Drew Jones number one,
which rightly, so I mean really really low tools. I know it
sounds similar, right, low tools and a guy couldn't stay healthy. But
I think in this particular case, Whyitet Langford should be. I would take
him number one. I wouldn't be trading down the number two unless you got
an incredible offer that might include a you know, top thirty player in the
game or something like that. You know, so if you've got somebody had
two first round draft picks, the number two overall pick and the number six
overall pick. But really, once White langth by all means take that deal.
But if somebody's offering you the second pick plus I don't know, you
know, the third pick the first pick in the third round, no,
I would rather have Wyatt Langford and take that high end tool. So that's
just my opinion about the two players. Love them both. I think both
of them are going to be very good Major League Baseball players and help you
on your fantasy team. Coming to number three is not Yamamoto. He is
included in this list. I have put Paul Skin's number three. So I
think talking about White Langford together along with Dylan Cruz, let's talk Paul Skians
together with Yamamoto. First of all, Yamamoto, many people will take him
number one overall in their draft, and if they do, I think that's
fantastic. You know, have at it. He's twenty five years old,
so he's a very young pitcher. Obviously incredible success over in the MPB in
Japan. Clearly, the Dodgers, arguably the best organization in baseball, thought
enough of him to throw what three hundred million dollars at him. So clearly
there's something there. And you can just argue, well, chie, who
are we to to disagree with the Los Angeles Dodgers. They have much better
scouting, more comprehensive scouting. They've seen this guy with their eyes many more
times than something like myself or anybody else who was writing about prospects. You
should just take them number one. Overall, all that logic makes sense,
and if that's what you believe in, by all means do that. The
reason I don't have a number one is multiple reasons. And I'll tell you
again, why have Paul Skins ahead of him? Is I think Yamamota.
First of all, there is no guarantee from guys that the skills translate immediately
from Japan over to the United States. That's first and foremost seen it too
many times. That's where I came up the whole zero point zero because look,
I love Tim McCleod to death, as many of you do. But
I mean, obviously he loves Japanese players and talks about him a lot,
and quite frankly, ever Over that promotes that's not the way Over evaluates him,
of my humble opinion, that's where the whole zero point zero kind of
poking fun at him. Yeah, maybe Yamamota is going to be a top
five pitcher in all of baseball, and maybe he's going to do it this
year, but I want to see the translation. I'm not gonna ta if
I have a chance to get White Langford to Dylan Cruz, I'm just not
going to take Yamamoda. I'm not going to take that risk. So that's
first and foremost. I think there's there's a lot of risk associated with the
Almamoda just based on history too. He's a little guy, and that's some
part of the reason I got Paul Skins. In front of Paul Skins fastballs
up to one hundred miles an hour with a wicket slider. Now the fastball
is a little flat, grant it, but he's still throws one hundred miles
an hour. There's still a lot to work there. I mean he's a
big and Yamamota is five foot ten with really good stuff and the great splitter.
I just did a write up for our Patreon subscribers on on Kevin Gossman,
and you take a look at his his splitter, and when you've got
a great splitter, major League Baseball players can't hit it. And if Yamamotive
splitter is as good as everybody says it is, then he could have a
forty wif rate on that and strike out, you know, two hundred and
twenty five to two hundred and thirty batters a season, and it could be
you know, game, set match type of thing. But I don't like
the size of Yamamota compared to Paul Skins and guys of his size. You
know, they're Marcus Stroman's of the world. I mean, they have a
tendency to a get hurt a lot and be underperform which you think they're going
to perform, sir, head to check on what the dogs are parking at.
So it's a guy. Little guys have a tendency to underperform what we
think they're going to provide when they first get drafted or coming into the league.
Uh. And they have a tendency to get hurt because they the wear
and tear on a major league season, it's pretty difficult. Remember, Japanese
pitchers pitch once a week, every six days, and they take the seventh
day off. I don't know which. I don't know if they take Monday
off or Sunday off, but that's the six man rotations. It's a six
it's once. They pitch once a week major League base so I pitch in
every five days. You go, well, that's not much different, it
really is. So you're it's a much heavier workload. The hitters are significantly
better in major in the major leagues than they are over in Japan, so
it's going to be a big adjustment, and I I'm going to take the
more physical player in Paul Skeins, a guy that yeah, the MPB and
and the SEC MPB is probably a little bit higher level, but it's not
like the difference between it's more like a good High A league from the SEC
and a in a decent Double A league. So there's definitely a step up,
but it's not like the difference between the Major leagues and Low Way or
something like that. So it's a fairly comparable league, and I kind of
like what Paul Skins is going to be able to provide for a team.
But I go Langfort, Cruz, Skiings and the Yamamoto. If you disagree
with Yamamoto, I totally get it, and I would not I would not
kind of criticize anybody for taking Yamamoto in front of in front of Paul Skiings,
and I would not criticize for taking Yamamoto in front of Dylan Cruz and
White Langford. I'm not going to do it because I want the bat.
I want a guy that has attended, has a chance to be a thirty
twenty guy, and Wyatt Langford and a guy that could be twenty twenty or
you know, fifteen twenty with Dylan Cruz who might hit three hundred. That's
what I That's the player I want, as opposed to a pitcher who could
get who's going to get hurt Unless you're Garrett Cole, you're going to get
hurt, and Garrett Cole has had an incredibly healthy career. That's an anomaly,
and most guys get hurt. You hope it's not going to be Tommy
John Serder or some kind of shoulder problem but many times it is, and
I that's why I want the bat, and that's why I want Paul Skins
in front of Yamamoto. So those are our first four guys. I will
pick up the pace a little bit, but I definitely wanted to talk a
lot about them because I think it's important. Let's take a break, get
back and do the next A handful of guys I've never buy as Warner Kinkins.
I saw Walker Jenkins play twice in high school. I've kind of talked
about this a few times, but it's so impressive to watch a mature high
school player playing against basically immature physically immature immature. Is that the right physically
let's developed younger base, younger high school players because he was so much larger
than everybody else on the field. But man, it's just that beautiful lefty
swing. It is big boy power. I saw him park a home run
at least four hundred and forty feet maybe more. It was a huge home
run, and granted it came off of an eighty one mile an hour fastball,
but that kind of shows you what ball wasn't thrown very hard, but
he was able to create that level of exit. Velocity coming off as bad
on an eighty one mile an hour fastball, so there's plenty a big boy
power there. I think he's only going to get stronger. So I'm playing
the outfi through it is a really good outfielder's playing center field. I think
long term he's a corner outfielder. And I don't think he's got good speed
now. I don't think there's gonna be a lot of speed down the rid,
but I think he's going to hit, and I think it's going to
be big boy power. So you're talking thirty home run power for me.
With a kid that can hit and you know, score a lot of runs
and lots of RBIs and some stolen bases early in his career, I think
that's the player. I like him a lot. Number six comes at Max
Clark, who's more athletic than Walker Jenkins. Ultimately, I think it has
probably the higher upside the Walker Jenkins. But got off to a really rough
professional debut, and I think it showed that maybe his hit tools a little
bit further behind than what anybody thought. Doesn't necessarily mean he can't solve it.
I think he will. I think he's going to be a very very
good baseball player. If you tell me down the road, Max Clark is
going to be the better player Walker Jenkins. I think you could point to
that. I just think Walker Jenkins a little bit safer and I think you
know what you're going to get there. I think there's a lot more volatility
at the moment with Max Clark. Number three is Matt Shaw. I still
have Matt Shaw very high. I think he was taken thirteenth by the Cubs,
really good professional debut. There's big boy power there. I think it's
going to be twenty five home run plus. I think there's a field to
hit and some speed. Early in his career, I think you'll see he's
already a He was a college kid a University of Maryland, so I think
you're gonna see that speed start to dwindle, you know, as early in
his career, So don't expect him to be a lot of speed guy.
And is he gonna move off a shortstop to second base? Probably? The
Cubs have a pretty good second pretty good shortstop ectly, pretty good second basement
as well, so I'm not exactly sure where he's going to play. Has
already made it up to double a I there's a chance we see him in
twenty twenty four, but I think realistically it's probably gonna be twenty twenty five.
Another very very good baseball player. A guy who's really jumped up on
my list is Colt Emerson. He is with the Seattle Mariners. He got
off to a great start. It was taking twenty seconds, so he jumped
over a lot of guys. But it looks like the athleticism is there,
the field of hit is there. And a guy that I'm actually have jumped
up on my on my prefless on my first year player drafts, and I
moved him up, so you know, I rate that there's a he's a
high floor player. I think the field of hit is gonna be a thing
that really really makes him a very good major league baseball player. But it's
it's more fifteen to fifteen kind of guy. But man, I'll take a
high floor player with some upside and potentially power, particularly as he feels that
I remember his high school kid. So number eight, Colt Emerson coming.
Number nine is Kyle Teer. Where was Kyle Teal taken? Let me see
here we move over to spot track again. I don't know why it's spot
track and not sport track. But let's see, Kyle Teal was taken with
the fourteenth pick, just one behind Matt Shaw, another guy that got off
to a really good start to his major league career, drafted by the Red
Sox. And you know, it's hard sometimes to say, particularly with closers
future closers or closure in waiting and a catcher and waiting as well, because
there's so much volatility in both of those roles. But I really think Kyle
Teal is the catcher and waiting and a guy that think is gonna move quickly.
Good defensive chops should be able to hit. There's not a ton of
power. It's not gonna be a twenty five home run guy, but it
could be like a two seventy hitter with fifteen to eighteen home runs hitting.
Could even be a guy that hits in the number two hole. You know,
typically Major League Baseball teams want to put your best hitter in the number
two hole. It's not a light hitting hitter anymore. It is you put
your best hitter at the number two hole. That's what all the science says,
and that's what major league teams do. But you put your best hitter
and with power is even preferable. So that's why you'll see those like the
Mike Troutz sing hitting the number two hole of the Jan Soto number two hole
kind of guy. So that's that's the theory. And part of the theory
is you used to believe that it was the number three, so you'd have
your speed guy number one. You know, this is in the old days,
before we had data. You have the number one guy was your the
guy that could get on base and score lots of runs and was fast and
primarily fast, not even necessarily get on base a lot. Number two was
your light hitting guy. Kind of protect them because then you're going to bring
up your big bats three, four, and five, So three hole was
usually your best hitter with power. Number four was your big boppers at David
Ortiz boot powels of the world, if you will. And number five was
another power guy. But then as you swung down towards the bottom half of
the lineup is where you had your more the guys who's with higher swing and
mists and lower batting averages and so forth. But as the metrics came out,
people quickly realized that the higher up in the order you had. You
want your best hitters at the top because they get more at bats, and
over the course of the season, you can get forty thirty to forty more
at bats with a guy from even from the number three hole to the number
two hole. And it's just simple math. And people figured that out and
said, well, wait a minute, why do we have why do we
have our best hitter in number in the three hole with power, Let's move
him up to the number two hole, and let's put our best one base
percentage guy. Not necessarily a speed guy hitting leadoff. That's why he saw
Anthony Rizzo hit lead off for the Yankees for a while, we see Eduardo
Julianne hitting leadoff for the Minnesota Twins. It's not a speed guy, and
definitely Anthony Rizzo wasn't a speed guy. But those are guys that have really
high on base percentage skills, and then you get them on base to let
the guys behind them hit, so everything is kind of moved up. So
you could see kind of a Kyle Tiel becoming that number two hitter because he's
going to be high on base percentage guy with good power in a real great
feel to hit. Number ten is our first pitcher, so they no,
I'm sorry, I'd lie. Number three and four pictures obviously with Paul screens
and Yamamoda. Number ten becomes our first high school pitcher, and that is
Noble Meyer with the Miami Marlands. I've heard nothing but great things about Nobah
Meyer. It's all the building blocks they pitch at the top of the rotation
and somebody that I'm actually very excited about. And again the more I talk
to people that have actually seen him pitch, the more excited I get.
Let's do one more and we'll talk. Number eleven with Rehet Louder. Rehdd
Louder was picked by the Cincinnati Reds. And you know, it's funny.
Back in the day, any Cincinnati Red guy was like, oh my gosh,
it's the bandbox and it still exists. But the Reds have done such
a great job with their pitching organization. A lot of that came from the
drive line guys, where Kyle Body worked for the Reds for a couple of
years, left a couple of years ago, in fact, just got hired
by the Red Sox. So watch out, watch very carefully what the Red
Sox are doing. But back to the Reds, I think he really helped
them reset how they looked at pitchers, their training regimen, etc. And
now Reds pitchers are actually very interesting from a prospect standpoint because a lot of
those guys have really high upside. So it's it's actually become very encouraging to
UH, to me to to not be afraid, to not be afraid to
draft Cincinnati Reds pitchers. I have several of them on my UH Dynasty League
teams in the my two startup Dynasty leagues that I have done. Louder has
unfortunately slipped through my hands. I do like the player. He was taken
number seventh overall, a little bit under slot, but it's you know,
it's a good He's a good left he with a great change up, and
I think it's going to be able to kind of somewhat hit the ground running
and be at least a number three starter on your team. So it is
it's a great change up, good slider. You know. The thing that
I like with the Reds is they've been able to help guys increase velocity.
And that is one thing that I'm sorry Louder is a writing picture. That's
one thing that Louder lax is really the big fastball. But if they can
add a mile or two on his on his fastball, that could be a
big difference maker. Let's uh, let's take another break and come back and
finish up this list just had a double check Rehet Louder. You forget he's
got the uh, the Jacob Degram wave going on here, he's got the
really long hair. Eventually Jacob de Gram cut his hair, but obviously Rhet
Louder still got the young young flow going. But yeah, definitely a right
handed picture. So did not make his major league debut long a long college
season, so that probably just want to give him some extra rest. Number
twelve was another picture Hurston Waldrip Waldrop. Let's see where he was? Oh,
did I lose spot track? Yeah, looking at pictures of Ret Louder.
Let's see if I can bring the bring it up again here? Nope,
spot track, Let's see it's bring this up all right. Waldrop Waldrip
was taken twenty fourth, obviously out of Florida by by the Atlanta Braves.
Sorry, another interruption. I apologize. My dogs are down here at the
beach. They bark at everything. We have very little traffic at the end
of our street. But when there is something somebody out there and it's a
beautiful day here at seventy degrees, so they're barking at everybody, so I
just close up the blind so they won't be able to do it. Anyway.
Back to Hurston, Waldrap drafted by the Braves and he has flown through
the minor leagues all the way up to Triple A and that's part of the
reason he really climbed up on my list. I mean, I think he's
a number three starter. I don't think the upside is tremendous here, but
it's a you know, it's a fastball splitter combination. Again going back to
Kevin Gossman and talked about Yamamo, these guys with really good splitters. It's
a tough pitch to hit, and I think it's a number three guy and
he could develop itto top of the rotation. I think it's probably more of
a number three guy. But I do like Ristin Waldroup a lot, and
he's moved up to number twelve on my list after being drafted. What was
it, what did I say? Twenty fourth? So the next guy is
another guy that was actually pretty low, and that is Brayden Taylor. He
was actually drafted nineteenth by the Tampa Bay Rays. Again, it's another high
floor player, high own base percentage guy, twenty home run pop. He's
got some good speeds. I mean, he could be looking at maybe a
twenty twelve kind of guy and a guy that can really hit. It's a
typical guy that the guy that the Rays like to like to draft, and
I kind of like the player as well. Number fourteen is Tommy Troy,
another guy with good power and speed combination potential plus hittel. I'm surprised he
kind of lasted all the way down to the Diamondbacks, so they got him
Troy. They got Tommy Troy at number twelve, so he was you know,
I think got really good value there. And then coming to number fifteenth
is in Riky Bradfield, and this is a very interesting guy. It's tough
for me to figure out where to rank in Riky Bradfield. First of all,
an eighty grade runner, potentially an eighty grade defender as well. So
this is a guy that smells and feels like defensively like a Jackie Bradley junior
kind of player, and he can absolutely fly just crazy sixty times out there,
and it looks like he's gonna be able to hit, but there's not
any power there. And you know, if it had been most anybody else,
I'm gonna kind of said, well, you know, it's this is
kind of another speed guy. But the Orioles drafted him at seventeenth slot,
and the Orioles just know what they're doing here, And yeah, so I've
kept his ranking somewhat true to where he went. I haven't really dropped him
down much. And look at his Fantasy baseball that we're talking about here,
and you want guys with speed speed plays in the fantasy baseball game. So
I've got him up there. Let me do a couple of other guys and
then wrap up and maybe just give you a couple of tidbits, maybe a
little bit lower. Number sixteen is Colin Hawk with the Matt shortstop. Another
guy with field to hit, speed and power. This all right, guys,
I'm back. Had a bit of a situation came up, So I
don't know who I was talking about. I think I just got done Colin
Hawck. So I'll go to the next guy. But let me tell you
what happened. So my dogs were barking crazy. So we live on an
island here in North Carolina Ocean Alla Beach, Beautiful Island, and most of
the people here were old because that's who retires out to the islands. And
so we have a gentleman who lists two doors down from us named Bill Lovely
Man, ninety years old. We last night we went out to dinner with
him, took him to kind of a neighborhood get together, drove him over
there. So he came back to the house at the front door and the
dogs are going crazy. I'm here in the in the living room, in
the big great room or whatever. So stopped the podcast once find out what
was going on. He's on a cane, so this is walking upstairs is
not easy for him. So he says he thinks he left his phone in
my car, Like, oh great, my wife's up in Wilmington to day
with the car. I'm going, well, let's call back over to your
house. I'll bring my phone and I'll call your phone to see if we
can find it in the house. So going to his house and I call
his number, and sure enough, good news is the phone starts ringing in
the in the house. So we just have to go find it. Turned
out it was in his bathroom. So that's what I'm dealing with here,
poor guy, lovely lovely man. And it's this, you know, you
see guys getting ninety and stuff like this happens. It just it just happens,
and you got to help, got to help your neighbors. So I
sincerely apologize for the disjointed podcast or podcast here, but sometimes real life calls.
And I felt like that was, you know, nine year old neighbor
walks up set of stairs to come get you. It's a reason to stop
what you're doing because you don't know what's going on. But that was pretty
funny. Okay, So number sixteen was Colin how Number seventeen is Bryce Eldridge.
I like Bryce Eldritch is drafted as a two way player by the Giants,
pitcher and first base, and most people that I talk to believe he
will be a first baseman, a power hitting first baseman. There is cs
six foot seven, so there's some concern about how much swing and miss he's
going to have in his game, but you know, there should be big
boy power there and I guess could he be both a pitcher and a hitter.
I mean, the only person that that's you know, everybody knows,
the only person that's really worked out for is shoey Otani. And we saw
it a little bit with a couple of other players, but for the most
part, most guys that try to do both wind up not being able to
develop as either a hitter or a pitcher. So I'm hoping that Bryce Eldridge
winds up a hitter. So those are like the top seventeen guys. Some
other guys that the first showed Ammanagua. I put at number twenty six.
He's left handed pitcher. We know that he's signed with the Cubs. He's
down there. Let's see. Let me give you so the highest ranked kid
that was drafted as a J two player, which is a J fifteenth player,
is Leo di Varies. That's the San Diego shortstop. I put him
at number thirty two. It's an interesting guy. Did draft him in one
of my startup dynasty leies and you know, sixteen year old kid, a
lot of dream one long way to go. But yeah, supposedly, as
you know, everybody loves what they saw, and the Padres do such a
great job at at signing and developing these players that you kind of want to
take that plunge some interesting guys a little bit further away. Let's come back,
take my final break and do a quick little run through through these top
seventeen again. W y A t T first name, Lankfort second name.
The second person is Dylan Cruz, outfitter with the Washington Nationals. Number three
is Paul Sken's s K E n e S number one overall picked by the
Pirates comes in at number three. Uh Yoshinubo Yamamoto. Yamamoto why why?
Uh pitcher with the right handed picture with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Walker Jenkins
is number five outfielder with the Minnesota Twins, and Max Clark outfitter with the
Detroit Tigers. Matt Shaw Mariland grad shortstop with the Cubs. Number eight Colt
Emerson second base shortstop with the Seattle Mariners. Number nine is Kyle teal t

Here nothing but good things about that kid. Rhett Louder r h E
T. T Like in the guy I'm gone with the win UH and number
twelve us you know he is a picture with the Cincinnati Reds, and don't
dismiss him just because he's a Cincinnati Red guy. Two really good off speed
pitches. If you can add some more velocity to his UH to his arsenal
for his fastball, this could be a really solid top of the rotation Guy

really good stuff there, and I wouldn't be promoting them unless I thought it
was really good stuff. That is a rap, guys, Tim and I
awa back on Sunday. I think we're gonna be drafting the first three rounds
of our of our ear leak coming up here, just kind of talking about
those first three players. What do you do if you draft early? But
if you do, if you do, if you draft late, that kind
of thing, because it makes a difference in your first few picks, and
that's why we spend so much time on it. And then talk about targets
later on again, all my targets are out on the Patreon site. Tim's
talked about all of his targets as well, and we'll be doing a lot
more of that. Next week. We'll be recording our Final Prospect podcast,
which will be taking a look at the American League West, and that's the
only one we have not gotten to yet. That's it again. Take care
