Greetings and salutations everyone. It's Rich welsa walk into Fantasy Baseball Live. Today
is Super Bowl Sunday, the eleventh of February, about two forty five in
the afternoon, and as always, I'm here with my good friend mister Tim
McLeod and today is our big, our big day to me, it is
our annual mock draft that we now have started to play out, and we've
got listeners calling in or reaching out to them. It's going to be a
fun two to two and a half hours. Yeah, I'm looking forward to
it. I'm even going to take a conservative approach today, Rich, if
you can believe that, what does that mean? Try something new and just
well, it means I'm going to try and draft for health and there won't
be any long shots. You know, when you're looking at a league where
you got fourteen bats, nine pitchers, that's all you've got, you just
got to try and find a way to accumulate stats. And sometimes I think
boring might be a little better approach than my usual very very let's go for
it sort of plan sounds great. I will tell you this is a traditional
league, everybody. It is five category or ten category five pitching of five
hitting all the standard cats. It's batting average, league saves, and we'll
draft, as Tim was saying, fourteen bats, nine arms, and that's
it. No pickups during the year, and we'll see who had the best
who has the best team. And Corey Piper won the league last year and
will be joining us shortly to tell us and brag about his team last year.
And he's out of the five holes this year, Timmy, so we'll
see what his first couple of picks are then we'll reach out to him.
Yeah, no, that sounds good, looking forward to it. Hey,
I've we got nine seconds till we get started. I got my my fluid's
handy to keep hydrated. Then ready to rock. Looks like if people are
chatting up a storm. We've got some royalty here. We've got We've got
UH. We've got the great John Dean drafting us, drafting with us.
We've got Justin Hughes at the UH at the the wheel pick. We've got
Peter Kritzer picking at the number four hole. And we've started off quickly.
Ronald Acuna, Hulu Harodriguez, Tim takes Juan Soto, Peter Kritzer comes in
with Bobby Witt Junior, Corey Piper, last year's winner, is on the
clock with Corbyn Carrol sitting at the top of the queue. He takes Mookie
Bets and Jerry Walton and who play Who's All of these guys are in our
Patreon site, Timmy, All but Peter Crich. I don't think Peter's with
our Patreon site yet. No, I don't, I don't. I don't
think he has been. I think everybody else pretty well is and an interesting
uh and interesting start. As we see in President. Five of the first
six off the board are all outfielders. Acunia Rodriguez, Sodo, Bets,
Tucker and you're on the clock. Bridge. I have not picked Corbyn Carroll
yet this season, Timmy, and I took Corbyn Carroll. I know it's
a bit of a there was some injuries concerns at the end of the season,
but you know I'm going to take Corbyn Carroll tim at number seven every
time. Yeah, that makes six out of seven. I saw Carol fall
to the ninth spot yesterday. Interesting in a real draft, and again it's
the only the only concerns are that shoulder and you know, hey, he
could be fine. It could be an issue. We don't know, but
I think in that first round people are getting a little more, a little
more conservative towards the top. I know I was with Sodal, I think
very very much. So that's that he hasn't typically been going three tims.
So now I'm surprised you you had the opportunity to take Bobby with junior and
decided not to. I got Bobby with junior in about three leagues now,
Red Draft League, So I just decided to take a different approach this time.
I think I can get speed later on, So just go with the
just go with the safe approach. We've got sixty seconds to make our pick.
After Corbyn, Carroll goes Freddy Freeman, Spencer Strider, show Yo Tani
for nander Tatist junior, followed by Matt Olsen. So, Timmy, how
important is the first pick in a draft? Well, in a normal draft
where you've got reserve players, it's it's important. I think it might be
even a little bit more important per se in this format because we don't don't
have any options after this. But the first round is important. It sets
the tone for your draft, and everything after that falls into place with those
first couple of picks, so I believe it's very important. So you've you
you took with a third pick one, So what are you thinking about with
the second pick coming back? Are you gonna do a picture, You're gonna
do another outfield or are you looking for somebody with a little bit more speed?
What you're thinking? I'm gonna wait and see who falls and sort of
sort of go from there. What was interesting yesterday in that redraft league I
did is Elie de Lacruz fell. I had the third pick. He fell
to twenty eight and I took him. It's the first redraft league where I've
I've got Dela Cruz, so it was interesting to see him fall a little
bit. Right, Well, if Tim, if he falls to me in
the second round, he will be on my team. He is the only
guy in my queue at the moment, so I'm I'm definitely I would go
speed and power, speed and power, and then maybe have to do a
Lewis a rise later on. Anyway, back to so we had John the
Great, John d was, Showyo, Todi, Robbie Thayer, Fernando Tatist,
Junior, Glenn Simms takes Matt Olsen, Ricardo Alexander who Timmy is in
my MVP of drafters is a guy that wanted into one of our Patreon leagues.
We had a guy that dropped out last minute. Ricardo jumped in within
thirty minutes and made his first pick, and we literally, I literally paused
the draft and he jumped in and made his pick. So he is a
he's a monster. So that's he's great. Chris Chris Hopcraft, who I
believe is he's in. He's in Europe right somewhere. Yeah, Yeah,
he's in. He's in England. He's already done. Like dinner guy,
Okay, Justin Hughes comes in, he takes Garrett Cole, followed by Jose
Ramirez, Austin Riley, Trey Turner, Elie Deal like I will not get
Ali de la Cruz by Bryce Harper, Lewis Castile uh and then followed by
Adoleys Garcia. So Matt Lahay goes, Spencer Striter a Dooleys Garcia and now
I'm on the clock to me, you talk a little bit. Yeah,
it's it's it's always interesting in these formats. But there's there's some really good
pick still sitting on the board. I don't know what I'm I don't know
what I'm going to do with my first pick, but I have a hunch
I'll probably go back simply because I'm gonna try something a little bit different.
I was gonna say, if Gunner Henderson falls to me, I'll take a
look at him. But I don't have to worry about that because Rich Rich
Rich has got back to back rookie of the Year Corbyn Carroll, followed by
Gunner Henderson. Tim I've Gunner Henderson a lot of leagues. This is new
for me because I haven't done a re draft league for one year league since
I did my NFC. It's all been dynasty league dress and my head's a
little a little not thinking about this year. So this is this is the
first draft you've actually had to worry about o'clock, right, that's true and
talking at the same time. So yeah, that makes that makes it full
of fun. You know, you've got the rookie of the year from what
two years ago? Last year, So what you need to do with your
next pick is you need to draft Yamamoto and you'll have all three rookie of
the years. All right, I just might do that. That might be
fun. But in Yama Yamamoto. My cute. Tim, Oh, it
looks it looks like I bet you did. Let's see. Okay, so
so we got let's let's do the second round here. Jose Ramirez, Austin
Riley, Trey Turner, Elie de la Cruz, Bryce Harper, Lewis Castile,
Doley Scarcia, Uh, Correy Seeger. I took Donner Henderson. I
love the Freddie Freeman Corey Seeger back to back. You're talking power, batting
average, no speed. But that's an interesting pick there. Corbyn Burns goes
next to Jerry Walters, Ozzi Alby's goes to Corey Piper. So he went,
he went, oops, he went, what do you go? Mookie
bets Ozzie Alby's, Peter Kretzer goes Rafael Devers, and then Tim goes Michael
Harris the second. I wish they'd take the second out, Tim. He's
impossible to find when you search for players like that. Well, and he's
also the first Michael Harris. Right, Yeah, that's true. Yeah,
So why should why should they be downgrading him to the second spot. It
just doesn't seem fair, Rich, It really doesn't. That is so boy,
we're drafting quickly here, Marcus Simeon. Marcus Simon goes next, followed
by Pete Alonzo. Then our first closer off the board, Devin Williams.
What do you think about that? Tim? I think it's a good pick.
I I like Devin Williams a lot, and and hey, you're not
getting any chances to go to the waiver wire here, none whatsoever, So
I'm sort of thinking the closers might move up a little bit, just a
hunch. Yeah, I would agree with that. Yeah, I think it's
a good plan. When you're looking at a gladia your format to try and
shore up, you're really pitching as early as possible. So it'll be interesting
to see how that shake shakes down as we get into the third and fourth
rounds. Looks like Sanchard makes a pick at Vlad Guerrero Junior. So he's
got Julio Riguez, Marcus Semion, Vladd Junior, and Tim is on the
clock. He is time going to pick. He has two outfielders. I'm
gonna suggest he's not going to go on arm. He's going to go another
bat. Let's see what he does here. Yeah, I would think I
would think that's a that's a solid pick, and I'm gonna I'm gonna go
a little bit. I'm gonna go a little bit early here and grab a
guy that's paid off and in space for me in the past while and again
balance speed in three oat field slots, so I'm I'm happy with that.
He goes with Randy A Rose Arena. Can't That's just a great pick to
me. Randy Rose Arena is a fine pick there. Tim snipe me on
Harrison had me scrambling a bit there. That is from Sean Charts of the
Great. Tim McCloud already wreaking Havoc out in the draft room. Well,
it's hey, Havoc's my middle name, isn't it. You've known me a
long time. It's either chaos or Havoc, right, That is true,
So Chaos would be get smart and actual smart obviously the Great Sitcom after that,
and then goes Peter Kreitzer goes with Lewis Robert Junior after that. So
those big surprises yet. Devin Williams maybe a little bit early, but the
format, as Tim said, makes level of sense there. Corey Piper,
last year's winner, is on the clock as soon as he makes his selection
Timmy, Uh, after I make mine, I will probably cut for a
break and then come back with the Corey Piper, followed by Francisco Lindoor.
Jerry Walt, I'm going to take a picture, Timmy. I don't know
if I have the the cahonas to pick Yamamoto when Pablo Lopez is sitting on
the board, So I'm probably gonna go Pablo Lopez. There's a lot of
a lot of a lot of strikeouts, there rich a lot of strike os.
Yeah, but it'd be fun to go Yamamoto. That would be a
lot of fun. Hey, Yeah, that's what I was starting to thinking.
Yeah, yeah, I I well, I gotta stick by my guns,
tim I just uh not ready for that yet. So let's so let's
let's go with Pablo Lopez. Put that in. As Jerry decides on who
to pick, Timmy, he takes Kevin Goss when he went back to back
pictures a little surprising there, so he goes Tucker and then back to back
pitching. I'm going Pablo Lopez, which is one of my targets this season.
Tommy. Let's take a break and when we get back, let's dial
in last year's winter sounds good looking forward to it. It's just add participants.
I type type in Corey there he is Corey Piper and let me add
him. Let's see what happens. Okay, tim you're still there. Yeah,
I'm still here. Corey, Corey, Corey, No, Corey,
Corey calling Corey. This is when we call justin so yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. You know he's going to be handy. You probably have
his his Skype number on speed Dell. Corey, are you with us?
Nope? No, Corey. All right, well let me hang up.
Let me hang up on Corey. Corey. You there. Let's go back
to the draft, Timmy and see what we got here. Yeah, Kevin
Goffman, Pablo Lopez, Zach Wheelers, lots of starting pictures going off the
board, Kyle Schwarber, huge, Palt Timmy. But in the third round
any batting average league, what do you think about that? I think that
Matt Lahoy doesn't care too much more betting average, but he's going to get
a vile accountable. So you know with a Doulas Garcia and Schwarber, if
you got to be looking and counting on forty five homers from Schwarbro one hundred
RBIs. So you throw them in there with a Doulas Garcia. You got
a lot of you got a lot of power sitting there. And when you
go with a starting picture in that first round in strayer, you gotta find
some way to get some of those counting offensive numbers back. So yeah,
hey, it's betting average will be a challenge. But Luis rise is probably
in Matt's fins. Might guess, Uh, Cory, are you with us
yet? No? Cory? All right? Let me, uh, I
might hang up on you, Timmy. If I do, I'll call you
right back. Yeah, yep, I just uh I just hung up on
the great Tim mccleoud. I thought that was gonna happen. All right,
let me bring Tim back one. There there comes Tim. Tim is back.
Let me call Justin here, Tim, Yeah, calling Justin? All
right, maybe this is maybe none of this is gonna work. Tim.
Well, that's not for lack of trying. Yeah, we're trying to bring
on some of the listeners. Justin John Wow, great, great Justin Hughes,
Tim, Not just Justin Hughes, the guy who manages the baseball three
sixty five Facebook bait? Justin How many lists how many followers do you have
out there now? And the group I think we have somewhere around like thirty
three hundred. I haven't honestly checked it any time recently, but I mean
we've hung right around that range as for a little while in the thirty three
thirty four hundred. Great, great, well, congratulations and thanks for joining
us, thanks for being a Patreon member. And also you did a Dynasty
League startup? How that's still going on? What do you think of that?
I've had a blast. That's my first Dynasty startup I've done in five
years. I've been like itching to do one for a while, and I
was really glad when I saw you set one up. I was literally just
thinking days before you announced that, I'm like, you know, if Rich
was the post a Dynasty League and he said he was doing it on fan
tracks, I would do it. And then literally the next day you made
the post and I was like, seriously, can we talk fan tracks for
a moment. This isn't a commercial for fan tracks, like ten times better
than CBS. I mean, there's no comparison anymore, justin do you agree?
I've never played a Dynasty League on CBS, but I've heard enough,
and yeah, I won't play Fantasy Baseball on any other side, but fan
tracks anymore. Nope, they don't do anything for me either. They're just
the premium for me. Yeah, it's just great. I mean they it
just works. It's just a better site. It's easy to use, and
lots of tools for commissioners. So let's talk about your your team here,
Garrett Cole. Let's say you went to Garrett Cole, Jose Ramirez, Jose
Altuve, and then Edwin Diaz. You think Edwin Diaz is going to be
back full season. No concerns there, none, I'm not worried. I
mean the knee was a I mean it was one of those deals. It
wasn't it an ACL I don't remember for sure it wasn't. So yeah,
yeah, I like I it was a freak deal. And no, I
don't have any pause. I was thrilled to get him where I got him
there at the three four turn. To be honest, I would take him
as the number one closure off the board still personally. But I do think
that all the closures are kind of like those top four, five, six
something like that. They're all but jump bundled up together right there. So
picking at the wheels always a challenge. What did you think as the first
round is going off? Did you have Garrett Cole and Jose Ramirez in mine?
Were you hoping somebody would drop to you and they didn't? I couldn't
have been happier, to be honest, Garrett Cole, especially for like,
this is my first guillotine League I've ever done. But in a guillotine that
means you're not making transactions. Who you draft, that's it. And there's
no safer pitcher to go out there and throw two hundred innings than Garrett Cole.
So for that reason, I was like, I would love to get
Cole here, and then it was Jose Ramirez or Bryce Harper. I was
hoping one of those two would be there. I mean, I love the
outfielders, but I wasn't expecting any of the outfielders to get to me,
and that is something that makes me nervous. I don't like I don't like
starting like four rounds here with outfielders, But the way they're going, I
guess I'm just zagging while everybody else's digging. Yeah, I've got I don't
have an outfield Oh no, I have Corbyn Carroll. Yeah, I have
Corbyn Carroll. Yeah. What do you think of Corbyn Carroll this season?
Any concerns somebody should have taking care in the first round? Well, I
just took him fifth in our dynasty startup that we're in, so I mean,
don't get me wrong, like I do think that there's a little bit
of concerns to have. But that said, at seven, I would jump
on it, like I'd still have him fifth overall my own rankings. Oh
there goes Tyler glassnow off the board, Tim and might Tim? Tim Hardy
agrees with do you have justin Do you have the same kind of concerns I
have with Tyler Glass? How many innings does he pitch this coming season?
Would you like to throw a couple of dice? I don't know. I
have him in a dynasty league. They're like the guillotine type league. Personally,
I don't know Matt who just took fuck him, But this is the
type of league I'd be most scared to take him because of the the fact
that you can't make transactions like being able to count on somebody to be there
the whole season really matters to me more for this draft than ever right,
I agreed, And I'm gonna probably take a closer here next Justin and just
like you, I mean, and Tim was suggesting that, let's see,
I'm gonna take class A here we go. I think we need Tim,
right, we need to take a closer early. Yeah. I think it's
a good thing Justin that you took Diaz, and I think it's an equally
good thing Rich that you took claus A. Because my plan is to take
two closers back to back with my next two picks. Are you gonna take
back to back closers? I might come back with another closer that's fascinating.
So, uh, well, I might as well force a hand, right.
Uh there's a whole bunch of teams that don't have any and it is
one category if I can get. If I can get two closers, I
like right now. Again, it'll it'll create some chaos, won't it.
I totally agree. So so, just so, give me a couple of
maybe under the radar guys that you're thinking about for twenty twenty four for drafts,
and like some some players that have caught your eye that you like a
little bit better maybe than others, or like the the NFC eightps are going.
Yeah, MJ. Melindaz, there's a name I'll throw out there.
The stat cast date on that guy looks really good under the radar. It's
a bad home park, but like, and he only had sixteen home runs.
He's a guy who when you look at his like batted ball data,
it all looks really good to where it would like, I think that even
despite the fact that he had sixteen homers over a full season, I think
fan like the Steamer projections have him at like twenty three and I'm still filing
like, I'd take the over on that. Tristan casts cases, I always
forget which way to say it. That's another one with how good he was
in the second half after he got he got going. I think that his
like Steamer projection of like twenty eight home runs, I would well over that.
Like, I think that guy could go out and have a pee a
Lonzo type season. So there's two names that just come in mind, right,
I Love I Love, I Love Trystan Cassa temp goes back to back
closers with Devel and Romano And after I took Class A, Alex Bregman goes
off the board, followed by Freddy Peralta. Who's the data looks really good
on that guy, Trek Scougle, Devell Deran, the closer from Minnesota than
Matt McClain, fran Bervaldez, Boba Schett, and then Tim, you do
go back to back closers. Yeah, I'm gonna shore up. I'm gonna
shore up my saves, and then what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna
pick and pick and choose and build my rotation out of the mid tier and
see how I can see how it holds up. Hey, the worst it
happens, I finished fifth, fifteenth, right, Yeah, so Tim,
people are already saying, correction, Tim, going for all outfielder enclosure strategy.
I think that is true, right, that's what you got? Yeah,
pretty much. Yeah, it's well, it'd be interesting to see what
happens if if any of the closers get moved up in the next rounder.
So I look at the pitching and there's there's a lot of there's a lot
of starting pitching options that that I like in the mid tiers. So it'll
be interesting, you say, And there goes Rich with his second closer,
David Benner. It'll be interesting to see if people move move up a Clay
Holmes or an Also or maybe even Craig, timbril Paul See, well,
yeah, it'll be fun. It's fun anyways, and after that, Nate
Jones goes off the board every and knows how I feel about that. That's
justin before we let you go, tell us about podcast Baseball three sixty five.
Andrew and I are right now working on our outfield rankings. We had
just put out the first podcast with one through twenty eight. We'll be working
on the rest of them later this week as we're getting through all that's the
last of the hitters and then we'll get started on the pitcher shortly afterwards.
Yeah, we it's uh, Tim, I just went through all that.
We Tim doesn't a job. It's a lot of work, so it's a
less it is all right. Before we let you go, we got to
talk a little uh Little Debbie snack treat So what's the big cell to everybody
who doesn't adjustin it works for the Little Debbies Corporation as one of the best
jobs in the world, great snack companies. What is the big cellar these
days? With the Little Debbies? I mean Christmas Tree cakes. It's just
insane. I mean, I mean with what we like, with where we
were five years ago compared to today, they've almost doubled in how many we
have to make year round or make we start like we start making those things
in the spring just to be able to get enough of them for two months.
Wow, and stick those things in the freezers. So Christmas treecakes chemical
boy? Making my mouth water there. So I mean, have you thought
about like a spring tree or a fall tree or is that just that?
Wa? Okay? So one time we tried Camp Little Debbie, which were
basically summer Christmas trees in July. Failed miserably. One time we tried Christmas
in July and did Christmas tree cakes in July about like five six years ago,
failed miserably. I think they're done trying that. See tell me this
is why I don't work in the Little Tennie Corporation. I thought it would
work. Yeah, Hey, Christmas in July. What more could you ask?
That is amazing? And you know we would, we would. We
would get those wonderful pictures of Justin and his glass of milk and a tree
standing up against the side of it in July, Like does it get any
better than that, really, absolutely well, Justin, we appreciate you jumping
on. We're gonna we're gonna cut it loose, and uh, thanks for
joining us, and thanks for being a member of the patreonsid. I hope
you're enjoying that as well. And I guess we'll shut you around the corner,
all right, take care, don't take care? See you all right?
How do I just knock off justin? Yeah, I got a couple
of messages that Corey Piper was trying to call. Okay, let's go around.
I might might lose you again, Tim, I did. Let's see,
it's called Tim back, It's called Tim Tim is? What what?
Tim? Sorry about that? Hey, no problem at all. Let's take
a break and come back and see where we are. Then we'll call choreo.
Okay, sounds good. Yeah, we've bet some hold on hold on
happening here in the fifth round. All right, let's see where we are
here, Tim, I gotta figure out David David Bedner had got interesting after
that, so let's let's just let's just say, uh, so let's see
here back in the fourth round, after Tyler Glass, Cody Singa, Emmanuel
Classe, Alex Bregman, Freddy Peralta, Tyler, Trek Scooble, excuse me,
uh yep. And then we had Develle Durant, two more closers,
Matt McClain, Fram Ravaldez, Boba Schett. Uh. Then Tim goes back
to bed with Romano. Then Blake Snell. Blake Snell's going to get a
job, right, Yeah, he's going to get a job at some point
in time. I mean might miss a couple of weeks of spring training and
it might cost him some time in April, but no, he's got to
get a job. Uh. And Timmy, why don't you finish that up
while I figure out Who'm gonna picks? Yeah, you're coming up, You're
coming up soon. That after Blake Snell, we had Gilbert and Seattle.
Jerry Women took Nico Horner going for the speed game, Rich took David Bedner,
Nate Jones went to Cameron Frederick at five age c j Abrams more speed
at five nine, John dean Is jumping in with the potential one hundred RBIs
from ti Oscar Hernandez at five ten, Manny Machado at five eleven, Brian
Reynolds. And then we had a run of closers Raciel Iglesias, Paul Sewold,
and Anthony Munos. At five point fifteen, Justin paired him up with
O'Neil Cruz, a popular pick this spring. Another closer, Alexis Diaz went
to Chris Hopcraft, followed by Josh Lowe. Robbie Thayer attempted to score points
with both of us with his Bryce Miller pick at six' five, followed
by two more closers, Ryan Helsley and Clay Holmes at six six sixty seven,
Cameron Frederick went, Frederick went, Christian Yelich, and we are all
caught up to Rich who is pondering with thirty seven sections left on the clock,
who pray tell is he gonna pick? And he went with the catcher
in Will Smith and Will Smith. Yeah, absolutely, so pretty excited about
that picked, Tim. I've got now I think catchers. You've got to
get a catcher early. I'm happy with Will Smith at that position. I've
got speed and power with Carol and Gunner Henderson. I've got two closers.
I've got a pitcher and now i have a catcher. So yeah, I'm
doing okay, Tim, Yeah, No, off to a good start.
I haven't a clue what I'm gonna do except probably probably try and try and
find me some power here somewhere. There are there are a few there are
a few options sitting there that I sort of like, I'm gonna go another
outfielder just because, but I I know I won't be taking pitching with the
next couple of picks. I won't take my first pitch until probably round age.
So you don't have a picture yet. You have two closers, but
you don't have a starting picture yet. Yeah, correct, Yeah, and
what and and do you worry about that strategy or do you feel like you
can get pictures later on? I still feel I can get them later on,
But asked me, got a question in a few rounds, and my
my worry level might be, uh might be a little higher. Yeah,
So I'm trying to debate. I was thinking about Kosen, but somebody,
oh, Tim took Torkosen. That's that was one of the pictures picks I
was thinking about going to. So I might come back with some power with
Tristan Cass's next him. He might He's just the top of my you.
I love Vinnie p So I might be a little early for Vinnie p or
Res. Hoskins is uh, you know it's the guy then pretty interested in
as well for this season. Uh, Glabor Torres is a nice uh speed
and power there, so uh it's an interesting guy. Why Tey sixty second
really moves by quickly, mister McLeod, Yeah it does. Did we try
one of these at forty five seconds one year? I know I tried it
in one league at one point in time and it was just a bit too
quick. But sixty seconds, yeah, he gotta be. You gotta be
paying attention, especially with this group of very very true players. Rich.
I mean, let's why you're making your pick. Let me go ahead and
add Corey. See if I can, uh Corey at him to at him
to our call here, so hopefully he will join us. As we get
back to Corey, let me know if you're on, Tim is on the
clock. And before Tim went, uh, Tim takes Tristan Cass as you
went back to back first basement after I thought I'd put him in my queue.
Thank you, mister McLeod. Well, I had Torqualsen and Casses at
the top of the que I just wasn't sure what order I was going to
take them. Man, I'm hoping. I'm hoping for sixty home runs and
one and eighty RBIs. Well, we'll see how it shakes down. Hey,
there he is, Corey, core You can turn your video off.
We're not doing a video however, that it just takes up more bandwidth.
So so how are you? Thanks for joining us? I'm good. I'm
on the clock and let me make a pick and then I'll turn my video
off. Okay, all right, So before for the jazz chicks, I'm
Danner, Scott Tristan cass Is, Corey Bellinger and Corey Piper Goes Evan Phillips.
So so Tim kind of started this closer run of back to back closers.
You went back to back closers with Fairbanks and Phillips. How did you
think of what happened? What was going through your mind? We saw these
closures going off the board. Was a little earlier than I was planning on,
but they're aha commodity. You gotta get them. So I'm gonna get
to right away too. So you went Betts, Ozzie Albi's, Francisco Lindor,
Freddy Peraltagan, Gilbert Peter Fairbanks and Evan looked Evan Phillips. Now you
won last season your first seven picks, how would you compare them to last
year? Seven for seven picks. It's got to hope they stay healthy.
That's what it comes down to. But I like going the safe route.
So I was between you know, I'm sitting there. I wanted either Mookie
Bets or Kyle Sucker. I do like even though it's a league where you
don't switch it. I liked the fact that you could play Mookie Bets at
second or the outfield. I wanted to start. The plan was Mooki,
Ozzie Albi's, either Michael Harris or Luis Robert because I wanted all players who
I thought would go twenty twenty. But I'll take Francis Glendor, one of
the only four thirty thirty players from last year. The others go in the
top four picks, and I got him in the third round. Can't complain
there. Wow. So next after me goes Kyle bradish. What's your thinking
about Kyle Bradis this season? I like British, I think getting I'd love
to see Corman Burns get in there and teach him a cutter or something.
But I think British will be fine this year. Yeah, you know that's
all that. Uh, that's all he throws as a cutter, which is
pretty impressive cock and it's really really good. So I like what the Orioles
did there. What do you think? I like what they did there as
well. I'm a Brewers fan, so it's kind of hurt. But oh
yeah, can complain a Brewers fan. You must be happy. You must
be happy with the Reese Hoskins signing that. I'm happy with the Reese Hoskins
signing. I thought I thought that meant we were gonna keep Corby Burns for
a while. But yeah, I definitely enjoy the fact that we got some
more power at first. So Robbie Fair goes with Jacksonuria. So give me
your stat line for Jackson Curio this season. Give me a home runs speed
batting average twenty three home runs, twenty five steals fifty five. I need
your address for a Christmas card I have. I have jacksoner prediction. I
have Jackson Truer in a lot of the So thank you for that. I
hope it works out. So it's good. I hope so too, man,
because be good for fantasy teams. Tyler Black gets promoted on what day.
Oh that's a tough one. I felt better about that before the Joey
or Ties standing. I have Tyler Black in some early drafts, but now
I think I think it's gonna be more mid season. I think they like
Monasterio and now with Joey Ortiz there, I think they're gonna give give him
a chance. Unless William Dimons gets traded here yet, that could change it
all. So you're you're you're of the Tim m Tim McCleod school. Thought
you don't answer my question, give me a day. Well, well,
don Cory, I appreciate that big, Okay, I'll think June first.
I'll say June first, jumifirst. Okay, I got it, Timmy.
I'm going earlier than that where you got him. I'm going earlier, and
that is well, I I can't I can't see. I can't see how
Monasterio it is the answer. I really don't think that's gonna last. I
hope for Brewers fans it doesn't, because yeah, he's got a bit of
a hit tool, but there's no power and there's no speed. So I
don't know. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be overly optimistic probably, and I'm
gonna say he's gonna be up the end of April. That's the latest are
well. Oh, there you go. It's a great tim of cloud.
So what's your favorite format to play? I probably actually enjoyed just the traditional
five by five with a bench, I was. I did pretty well in
these last year. I think I played in five and I won three of
them. But that's a little bit of Look I spoke mostly good for you,
Thank you. Do you play any dynasty leagues? I am in three
dynasty leagues, so I have enough of those. I also play. I
like to play at least two points leagues a year as well, so I
kind of spread it around. Wow. Okay, so you're watching the Super
Bowl tonight. Who you're rooting for halftime show? I don't have a rooting
it. I mean, can you name an Usher song? Really? Can
you really name an Usher song? I'm thirty one years old. I can
name a lot of ushers. Okay, all right, there you go.
Yeah, then sixty six and Usher to me is someone that takes me to
my theater for sure. Yeah, for sure. That's very very funny.
Well, we appreciate you jumping on. We hopefully you can. Uh,
we can repeat here. If you do, we'll congratulations. I think I'm
putting up one hundred bucks for this, right then, Winter take ye agree
that? Yeah? I think that was the deal. Deally. Oh yeah,
I'm very very thoughtful of you, Rich and greatly appreciate it. Thank
you very much. Well, th thanks again, Corey, appreciate it.
Man. We'll let you go back to drafting. Thank you. Guys.
Can I clarify my last name? It's actually Peeper, Peep Peeper. Oh,
I'm sorry, Peper. Okay, I just wanted to clarify. That's
kind of why I had a hot on here. So yeah, good luck
to this year. Were we missed for We've mispronounced so many other names to
the list. I should have asked you how you pronounced your name, and
I didn't. I it was just arrogant thinking I knew how. Tim was
the one that told me was funny person. There you go, thanks again,
Corey be well that was fun. Hopefully he will. Oh good,
he hung up. That's good. Yeah, So now no, I don't
have to lose you. So, uh, that was a lot of fun
coming up. Do you want me to review some of the pigs, please,
Tim, Yeah, go ahead, Okay, good, good to go,
going back. We had Jerry Wan with Xander Bogos, Glaber Taurus,
Kyle Bradish, Dylan ce Snolan, Aronado Jackson, Curio Tanner, Biby to
Glenn Simms, who will not get an invite next year because I had plans
for him, Paul Goldschmid, Grayson Rodriguez, Saya Suzuki at seven point fifteen,
Uh got invite justin he just a steak on liquor thing as Zach Efflyn,
uh Lozardo, Craig Kimberl At eight three, one of the last closers
left, followed by a pair of outfielders in Nick Castellanis and Jordan Walker,
John Deane with Josh Young I like that pick. At eight five, catchered
to Matt at yeah your Dias Bryson stuck to Cam Frederick and Rich chipping in
with I believe his first pitcher in Uri Perez second second pitcher. Ye,
yeah, I took I took Pablo Lopez early. Oh sorry, I'm actually
was a little surprised. Eury Perez lasted all the way to the eighth round,
now again, it could because my mindset is with Dynasty leagues startups,
and he's going in the third or fourth round the Dynasty League startup. So
I was actually pretty excited about that pick. Yeah, I like, I
like that pick, And I guess the reason he might have fallen is people
having some questions as far as the workload is concerned. Sure, yeah,
yeah, but hey, a number two. I take him as a number
two and not as a number one for sure. So yeah, oh okay,
So Tim, Tim, Tim is up on the h on the clock.
Let's take a break and we get back. Tim will make us pick
and we will talk about it. I've got a commitment to call Cameron at
three thirty five, so like we got seven minutes to talk before we call
our next dude. To me, I actually have a schedule of calling these
people. What do you think about that? That is? That is impressive.
I wanted Justin Steel and that sort of shattered to dreams. So I'm
gonna have to I'm gonna have to head in a different direction here. So
prior to that, Al's Lake went, I mean, I think every closers
off the board by then, Justin steal, Tim goes John Joe, Timmy,
that's two hundred strikeouts a guy that you get in the eighth round.
I personally believe Joe Muskove is being undervalued. He's also in my queue as
well as is another pitcher, and I got some first basement in my queue.
Tell me about your team. What do you like so far about your
team? What do you don't like? Well, hey, up until that
pick, I didn't like my starting pitching much because they didn't have any Hey,
I like the oatfield. I think I got good power at the corners
and I got two closers. Now it's just a matter of filling in the
gaps. And hey, right now, I think the power is fine.
Speed's a little light, so I got to find some speed. But overall,
if I can find a way to cobble together a pitching staff, I'm
okay with it. Yeah, it's cool. After Joe Muskov goes Anthony Volpi,
I think he's being undervalued as well. As we talked Timmy. You
know, I don't know what number of shortstops he is off the board,
but I think Volpi, I mean, this is a guy that stole a
lot of bit this last season. I think there's some power ups like didn't
hit with a lick, But I think there's upside with his ability to make
contact well, and you know he's gonna run right. Yeah, he's a
twenty twenty player at least as far as I'm concerned. And yeah, it's
all it's all about the batting average and will there be enough of it?
Will there be enough of it? There? So Tim is on the board.
So Wit Turner see your three l de Ler cruise for Linder five Gunner
Henderson six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve thirteen.
He was the fourteenth shortstop taken. So I just think that's I just
think that's value if you want to wait a little bit. In fact,
I think he probably could have waited a little longer to have taken. Anthony
Volby has still been there. But I kind of like what Sean did there?
Tim, Well, you look at his team makeup and uh, that
really is up his speed numbers, you know, with Julio Rodriguez, market
Marcus semi and good for about ten or so, and Bolba shed maybe five
to ten, yeah, real Muto the same maybe ten. Uh Bolby Shore
is up his speed game big time. Totally agree with you, Tim,
after that, you took Jordan Montgomery, So I'm assuming you think he's going
to sign. I'm sort of betting on it. Yeah, I think it's
a goodbye in round nine, assuming he has a job and with the with
the teams out there needing starting pitching again. You you look at Snell,
you look at Montgomery. So the guys that haven't signed, they're gonna have
somebody's gonna offer them something. They're gonna They're not gonna be sitting over the
year, at least I don't see it. Uh, Anthony Santander, Spencer
Steer goes in front of that. Timmy I am on deck and Jerry Walton.
You know who I'm going to take. I have no idea, but
I'm thinking it's going to be another It might be a catcher. I'm going
to go with another picture, and I'm going to take the guy who worked
out a drive line, is now throwing ninety three ninety four miles an hour,
has already got a cy Young under his belt. Looks fantastic in the
data that's been coming out over the last couple of weeks. And I'm going
Shane Bieber, Ah interesting. I don't know if I know You're not a
big Shane Bieber fan, so I am fain you saw something in the off
season. Yeah, I mean, look, he went, he recognized that
the stuff had backed up. He went and got help, Timmy. That's
all good stuff. This is a guy that's going to be a free agent
soon, so he's probably looking at signing that big contract, and he was
going the wrong way. And when somebody does something to improve himself, to
make a change, I start to get very interested. It's the same reason
I'm interested in Bray, it's Miller. I don't know if I'm gonna get
him in this draft this year, just because I've got so many pitchers.
I do need to have some hitters. But I I like Bryce Miller for
the same reason. A guy who added a splitter in the offseason, and
I kind of like that. Yeah, I I think if you want Bryce
Miller, you're probably gonna have to take him with your next pick, because
guess who's in Mike Cue for the you know, for the same reasons we've
discussed recently, is Bryce Miller. I think there's I'll take him as a
number three this year. I've got him above so many other, so many
other pitchers. To him, and I've I've grabbed him in many leagues and
I'm just just really pollish on him again. I don't know if I've got
the cahunas to take him again, so I'm probably gonna go. I need
another outfielder. I'm very weak on outfield so let's see Josh Naylor went after
Anthony Santander's Jane Bieber, Kenley Janssen, Gabriel Marino, and then Christian Walker
after, followed by Lane Thomas. I like what Robbie Thayer is doing.
He's got four outfielders and uh for for Nando Tatist, Junior Love the Jackson
Churia pick, Jordan Walker, Lane Thomas. He's also got Bryce Harper,
He's got Adlie Rutchman and your buddy Yamamoto and bat Bobby Millie. Doesn't have
a closer, which is a little bit disconcerting, but that's a really good
cour of a team. Yeah, he decided to forego the closer rush,
and hey, it's tough in this sort of a format when you see the
closers going, do you do you get injured? Y? Zig and zag,
and he's he's taking the contrarian approach, and good, good, for
him. He's got a nice team. He's only playing out, he's only
playing out of a max of one thirty five. But hey, you can
blow off a category in a fifteen team and still make it work. So
yeah, that or he's got plans for later on. So Andre's simonesc goes
next to Glenn Sims, followed by Kyle Riley. Then thats your Ruiz.
Let's take a look at Chris Hopcroft's team. He's got He's got Jordan Alvarez,
he's got Mike Trout, he's got Austin Riley, and he has no
speed to him. That's a great pick to hope that he can grab forty
fifty stolen bases and try to balance out all that power and batting average he
has. Yeah, Chris, is you he's going with the all in strategy?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, as you were a ruize or bust and
if he can get sixty sixty stolen bases from Ruiz, it can work.
Yeah. I mean the question is it, Look Tim, if he gets
hurt strat his his team's in trouble, or if he doesn't play. And
I remind everybody I was I was all in with with both arms, both
legs last season with es your Ruiz. But Timmy, he did not play
at the at the end of the season. He just did not and that
was a problem. Yeah, well, you know what, Hey, Chris
had a strategy. He went with it, and if it doesn't work,
oh and I still salute him because he's got a plan and he's executing it
and the only time will tell interesting And Justin Hughes at the corner decided to
go back to back catchers. Oh okay, let's take a look at that.
I was, Uh, he went, is that Wilson Contreras or William
that's Wilson. I think it looks like Saint Louis Louis. Yeah, and
uh and then sal Perez after that, so yeah, knock him off,
tim It's now over and done for him. So yeah, I started like
that. I love Saya Suzuki in the seventh round. I think saves Azuk
is another guy that you take a look at his data and the data looks
really really good to me. Totally agreed. Uh, let's see as soon
as I make my pick is coming up in five or six. So Timmy,
what are you thinking you still need pitching? Right? Ah? What
have I got for pitching. I got two starters. I can. I
can pretty well head in any direction I want right now. So I'm hey,
there's there's a picture I like, But I'm I'm not sure if I'm
I'm not sure if I'm gonna make the move on them this set of picks.
I might. I might leave it and cross my fingers and hope I
can. You don't. You don't have any middle infielders. That's where you're
yep, not a one. Not a one. I've got I've got a
second base, a third base, or a shortstop with Gunner Henderson. I
have one catcher. You don't have a catcher either. What's your strategy for
catching going to be this season? Or is it? Is it dependent on
how a draft is going. I think it's very dependent on how a draft
is going. But I think I'm I'm looking at the middle tier as far
as catching is concerned. I'm gonna avoid the top end and look at the
the bow nailers. U who do I like a Logan o'hapi, Caburn Ruiz.
I think there's some nice catchers in the nine to twelve, thirteen round,
and that's probably the direction I'm gonna add Yeah, oh, Hoppy's still
on the board and bow Naylor still on the board. I went with safe
with Will Smith. I know he's not going to get the number of a
bats he did last season, and tell me, I'm just gonna go just
because pitching is so volatile, I'm just gonna go with the guy that I
like. I'm going Bryce Miller. Uh so that I'll stand pat then for
a while with my pitching, I start start to add some bats. Let's
go out and add Cameron Frederick here, it's time to do that. As
Tim's thing is coming up here, let me bring up Skype. Hello Skype,
there you are at participants at er a link. It's not a link.
Corey Piper not on this call. How do I add a person?
Oh? There we go camera, Cameron Frederick Here he comes. Tim.
Okay, all right, let's see if you'll come up and dialing, dialing,
dialing, And what's happened? Bryce Miller. Then Robert Stevenson goes next.
It's an interesting pick. And then Sean Murphy, I still like.
Sean Murphy goes to Corey Pepper. Is that he said? Pepper? Tim
Ah Peper? That's right? Hello, do we have Cameron yet earth to
camera. So on this says on this call, Cameron, are you there?
I don't hear him. Tim, Well, we'll keep talking, and
Tim took. Tim is still on the clock with thirty four seconds left,
and let's see who he picks. Uh when in dowed, I'm gonna go
with an old, boring favorite. Okay, let's let's call Cameron back here,
all right? Who Tim goes with? Oh Tovar from Colorado. You
like yourself some Tovar? Yeah, I do. I think what we saw
last year, considering the minimal playing experience in the high miners, I think
he's gonna build on it this year and provide even better numbers than the last.
So again, I like Tovar. I think he's he's heading in the
right direction, and the options at shortstop are starting to get a little on
the lean side. I don't want Willie Adomas and syro Astrata is just sort
of okay, And who knows if Holiday is gonna break camp. You know,
there's just a lot of I'm comfortable with Tovar. So, yeah,
this in this format, we'll take a break after I make this comment.
Tim and Cameron has having a little bit of trouble with his audio, but
hopefully he'll be with us shortly. Uh that in this format, you got
to get guys that are going to have jobs. It is about at bats
and in his pitch. So uh so, why at Langfort's in my cue?
Let's talk about him when we get back. If that's a wise pick
in this format. As Tim was cooperlan Estrada, he goes as the first
pick in the eleventh round, followed by Chris Sale and then Tim. As
he said, he went with bow Nailor. I'm a big bow Nailor fan.
Like some other catchers on the board. A little bit more. You
skipped over according to the ranks here, Cabert Ruiz, Logan o'happy, Francisco
Alvarez. You picked skipped over those and he went bon nail Or. Why
because Bono's stolen bases. I'm hoping hey get me a few. I moved
him up my board a little bit because I think there's a little bit of
speed there and I need some speed. So I'm going my first basement.
IM going with a guy who I just love this year, and that is
Vinny Pascantino. I'm assuming he's going to start the year healthy in play.
I mean, I love Vinnie Pascontina this season. It's got more pop than
you think. And it just I mean, it just stuck to me that
he missed all of that were most of last season, so some I'm pretty
bullish on that. Let's see if we have Cameron, are you out there
yet? No, Cameron, he's still checking his audio signals, So Timmy,
we might not be able to do camera. Ah. Well, hopefully
he gets gets his signal together. But in the meantime, we've seen some
interesting picks. After Naylor went Alex bohlm to Peter Kratzer, Corey took Mitch
Garber power at Catcher Guy and I like a low. Jerry Walton took Gavin
Williams of The Guardian. Then you took Vinnie uh some saves at jose Alvaretto
in Philadelphia for Cam. Uh oh, there he is. And do we
have kay, mister Cameron? Is that you? Yeah? Cool? Let
me let me ask Tim a question before I turn it over to you.
Because Christian and Carnossi and strand Tim with the kind of buying out his last
two arbitration seasons with Jonathan India, I mean, who's the odd man out?
What's gonna happen there is? Should you be drafting any of those guys
until it's resolved? Well, I think it. You know, McLean is
saved and and I think Elie dela Cruz has to fair point, those guys
are safe. I would agree. Yeah, I think Elie Dela Cruz is
is as safe as you're gonna get after that. Hey, you know India
is there, So somebody's gonna be the odd man? Oh with them signing
candelarias so, uh, Strand incarnation Strand is a guy that chill. There's
a bit more definition. I'm gonna I'm gonna shy away from him because I
think he could be the he could be the odd man out. I agree.
All right, Hey Cameron, thanks for joining us. I appreciate it.
Hope you're well, I am. Thank you for asking. So watching
the super Bowl today? Or is this? Is this more entertaining than the
super Bowl? This is definitely more entertaining, but uh, we'll probably watch
it. Okay? Cool? Cool, So let's let's talk your team,
do you mind? Of course? I love what you did with Freeman and
Corey Seger back to back start the draft, and he went Wheeler Singa.
Then he went my buddy Nolan Jones, get a little bit of speak,
Christian Yellich, a little bit of speed, some pop, Kyle bradish Brand,
Bryson Stott. Then you got your first closer with Jansen because Tim started
at the closer run double barreling with back to back closer than TJ. Friedel
and then Alvarado. What do you think so far of your team? I
was surprised at how early the closers went, like the actual legit closers that
are gonna hopefully keep their jobs all year and not get traded and all that
stuff. So definitely I feel weak there, But everything else I like about
my team. Yeah, tell me why you picked Nolan Jones, Because it's
just because you like Tim more than me and you listen to Tim as opposed
to me. That must be it. We got probably, we got history,
Rich, What's what's the history? We went for supper the last time
I passed through Kansas had had had a nice, nice couple hours over supper,
and I did not know that I met to Cameron his lovely wife and
glad you could partake today. Yes, yes, of course. So what
did the great Tim McCleod eat. Did he over eat? Was it pasta?
I'm not probably past I can't, I can't. We went to it.
We went to a Mediterranean type place. Oh it sounds too fancy.
I don't know, man, don't you listen to the show? Oh that's
that's great. So so tell me, why what what's up with Nolan Jones?
You must be a believer. I mean, the stats were great and
less than less than a full season, and like just dreaming on those counting
stats and that batting average just you know, I mean he showed those stats.
You know, I know, you you go break that, you break
down the the baseball savant and all that. But I mean, if you
if you're producing the actual stats and producing for a baseball team, I'm gonna
believe you're gonna do it again next year. I just I don't know that's
fair, that's fair. I look, I'm I'm I'm definitely guilty of over
complicating things. There is absolutely no question about that. That's that's part of
my brand. But uh but no, I I looked he did. He
did what he did in a very short period of time and did it extremely
well. I'm on the clocks that to me. You ask Cam a couple
of questions. Yeah, uh, looking looking at your last Vicky, what
with mat we went with Mitchell Keller. I take it you got your fingers
crossed and you're hoping for a trade. I mean, wins are only one
category. He got over two hundred k's last year. I mean he's gonna
he's gonna be a producer in this type of league. I mean, obviously
hoping for a trade. But if he doesn't get a trade, I mean,
who knows. Well, Yeah, what you want is you want to
find workhorses, guys that are going to gonna get your injury, going to
try and avoid the injuries and try and accumulate stat and yeah, it it
gets tough in this format. You've got to have a little bit of a
different mindset, don't you. I would think so. I mean, I
haven't drafted anybody that I think is going to be two injury prone except for
Kenley Jensen, So I mean, and also, like you, you have
to worry about playing time. I love a lot of those infielders are great
for fantasy on the Cincinnati Reds, but who knows gonna if there which one's
gonna come out on top and getting the most playing time if any You know,
I've drafted Matt McClain a lot of places, but who knows if he's
going to be the one starting in the middle infield for there. It's just
like, you know, yeah, I would think he would be. So
I took Jared Durant. I'll take my Jared duran against your Nolan Jones any
day of the week. Camp you you do. You want to do a
steak and liquor bet, of course, so we'll meet. We'll meet midway
between New Jersey and and Kansas, so that would be somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Our taking liquor back. Tim's funny. I think we got a math problem,
mapp, huge math problem. I'm a big jareddar Rand fan for this
season. After Juranko's Cabert Ruiz Tommy Edmund Edgewardo of Rodriguez, Timmy goes with
his buddy Baylor over Tim's out of his mind with Bailey over right, Cam
Uh, the stats are pretty good. I mean I don't know, all
right, it's a good value. I think they're okay, Well I take
him over Garrett, Oh, Tim, just you remember of our patrets you
don't, he he must read my stuff and laughed him. That's that's this
is what's coming. This is what I'm hearing. We appreciate you, we
appreciate you joining the Patriot Sight. Can we really do it? And you're
in one of our Dynasty League startups? How's that gone? What was that
experience? Like? That was a lot of fun the Dynasty League. I
love that being that in that Dynasty League first draft, you know, because
seeing how everybody does everything different as far as building their initial team, you
know, I basically went for young major leaguers and everywhere, you know,
I'd reach for for someone that was a young major leaguer and I think the
only person above age of thirty in my starting lineup on that league is Mitch
Garver. Like, I hope I can do well that. Yeah, I
mean that's that's the way to do it. Which which league are you in?
I think it's the second one you draft? Okay, all right,
so that one's done? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was
a I went for an older team in that because I where I picked.
I can't remember it now. I've I got six something going on, so
forgive me. But once I my first couple of rounds, kind of dictate
it like win now and kind of go for it. So I some some
leagues. I have Justin Verlander on my team just because I feel like I
can win. So, but I agree with I think they were a lot
of fun. Timy, Can you take over why I picked my next guy?
I certainly can, And I want you to comment on my guy because
I'm gonna pick him right now because I'm this is supposed to be fun,
Tim, So it is supposed to be fun, and you just made it
fun with Wyatt Langford at thirteen seven? Oh what do you think? What
do you think? Cam? How many? How many of bats for Wyatt
Langford this year in Texas? Well, I'm on the clock right now because
I'm right next day. Sorry, So Corey pet Corey Peeper Peeper right,
Yes, he goes your buddy, Yoshida Carlos and rodin Love Carlos were done
this year. I'm sure Cam doesn't like him because I like him. He
does like anything I like. Uh And Tim, you went east Soak Paradust
with your pick. Yeah? You know, I I look at you know?
Hey, Corey, You've earned you made my Christmas card lift list okay,
you know you can back off a little bit with Yeah, I went
with Prats. I think he's gonna twenty five home runs drive in eighty ninety.
He's gonna play all the time, and he's first base third base eligible.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay with Esak in round thirteen. Cool.
Yeah, any final comments, Cam, what do you think of your team?
Are you going to take the victor in this league? I do like
those first two picks as are gonna play. I don't know. I don't
know if I can get lucky on them saves. You know, I could
have a chance here. But yeah, I mean I really like Freeman and
Seeger being high batting average guys, like they're gonna be putting newly in front
and banding average. I feel like cool. Well, look, man,
we appreciate you jumping on again. Thanks for being a patron member, thanks
for listening to the show, and just thanks for supporting us. We really
appreciate it. And good luck in the league. Ye yeah, And next
time I'm through your neck of the woods, we'll have to do supper again,
Cam Finn. The first time, of course, I'll have to let
you know though, I'm moving to Cleveland next year or actually shoot this summer.
So what what Well, that's a little of the way, but we'll
see what we can do. What sending you to Cleveland, Cam, I'm
starting fellowship and uh oh cheriatrix there? Oh wow cool? So are you
a physician? Yeah, family medicine. Oh cool, that's great. When
so are you practicing? Now you in your internship? I'm in my my
residency. Yeah, okay, yeah. I was just at a birthday party
with my grandson and his aunt and uncle married or both in their residency.
They have a small child, which is just beyond me, Like, I
mean there, he's an orthopedic surgeon. She's an O B G y N.
I don't know how they're doing it. Man, raising a kid,
It's it was crazy. So you said geriatric geriatrics, he could, he
should help ust him. That's what I was just thinking for sure. Well,
good luck with the good luck with the fellowship, good luck with the
move, and thanks for joining us. Thanks rich All right, now I
figured out how to drop people without screwing everything up. That's great. It's
to me take a final break it back and let's cut this first episode.
Sounds good. It's been fun. Quick TI. Thanks just come by so
quickly, endlessly, it is. It is truly remarkable. Uh, it's
gonna be tough to take Henry Davis. I'm looking at Henry Davis in the
queue in this format because he's not catch her allligible And do you put him
in the outfield and he's going to be more valuable at a catching position,
Well, yeah, I would. I would anticipate he'd be already off the
board or very close to it in a standard league because you can, you
know, then you can wait and pick up a Yan Gomes or Wong and
Boston, you know, and just sub them in and make a cut and
basically a free cut. But when you don't have that luxury in this format,
it makes it real tough, it really does. Yeah, I totally
agree with you, Tim. Let's see we had after I took White Langrey
with Lars Nowbar, Lucas Giolittle, getting Lucas to your leader's getting more love
than I was anticipating. In drafts, I've been associated with what what do
you think that is the Strikeoats. That's the only I think that's the only
love that we can have right now, which you're not your am Webb it's
got to be those strikeout numbers. And then around thirteen, Yeah, he's
going to get you. He's going to get your strike oats personally, like
John Dets pick one after Yeah, he went native oldie who always gets strikeouts.
Somewhat hurt, but that's good. And we get Jackson Holiday right after
Wyatt Langra which is great. Michael King, Edwardo, Julienne, Rhys Hoskins,
Brandon Nemo finishes off the thirteenth round. Timmy, let's wrap this guy
up. Final comment before we cut this episode and do a second episode.
We're just flying, great group. We're through. We're halfway through the draft,
more than halfway through the draft, and just a pincher over an hour,
so it's going real. Well, I'm happy, So, Timmy,
when it gets to me, if you can pause the draft for a couple
of minutes, let's give our abody a quick break and give me a chance
to rejigger this. That would be great. Until next time, guys,
be well, tim be well,
