00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:07.719
Ninety five miles an hour riding two
is head. He hopped down first with

2
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:13.679
the lump on his face, and
on the very next pitch he up and

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:26.160
stole second face with greatst He wasn't
born that he had a day. Yes,

4
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:32.439
welcome, beautiful mud people to episode
four of Prospect B Side, where

5
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:38.039
we contemplate if Jags or Jags or
if they're Dynasty steals. I am Nate

6
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.320
Handy. I'll be talking at you
for a little while here. Feel free

7
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:47.079
to follow me on Twitter at Pitching
Specs. We have been running down the

8
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.200
league division by division, getting into
some B side history and picking some B

9
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.399
sides to watch this season. More
or less, a B side is a

10
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:03.799
prospect not owned in high numbers who
we think could possibly become more popular.

11
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:08.000
This week we're getting into the NL
Central, which I think has some very

12
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.359
interesting bats. But before all that, we usually start things off with a

13
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.920
little Q and A, so we
have no interest in what's going on with

14
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.560
you. We have no idea what
because it means no idea. I got

15
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:26.879
a good one here at Twinkie Girl
asks last episode, you said you are

16
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.359
not fully bought in that investing in
pitching prospects is as risky as most lead

17
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.280
on. Do you care to elaborate? I feel like I could probably do

18
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.519
a whole hour of talking about that. I want to be clear. I

19
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.840
do think that pitchers are more risky, but I think it's just overdone.

20
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.760
And you know, ironically, I
was actually just thinking about this as I

21
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.000
was snow blowing my driveway. So
I'll get into one aspect of why I

22
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.120
think pitching prospects aren't as risky as
a lot of folks lead on. But

23
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.079
to do so, I got to
tell a little story. So just bear

24
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.480
with me. I will to my
point. As I've mentioned before, I

25
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:07.159
live in Narnia. I live ninety
two hundred feet up a mountain in Colorado,

26
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:14.120
where there's just like basically perpetual snow. Hey, just finishing breakfast,

27
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:20.639
So colder than a witch. Is
titty out there, isn't it? That

28
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.719
might be a little dramatic. There
is summer, but I don't particularly care

29
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.080
for it for living up here anymore. But you know, I'm not the

30
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:32.039
only vote in this situation, and
my wife loves it for two main reasons.

31
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.680
I believe it's pretty and it's away
from people. In my opinion,

32
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:43.240
The pretty part is worn off and
is very overrated. There are lots of

33
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.639
things in life that are pretty but
not very practical on a day to day

34
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.319
basis, right, Like why doesn't
my wife wear high heels and address every

35
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.680
day? That's pretty well, obviously
she wouldn't do that. It's not practical.

36
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.520
But it's the away from people part
that has got me thinking. It's

37
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.800
true, you don't have to run
into or deal with as many people as

38
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.560
you would living in a city or
a more populated area what have you.

39
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.599
Of course, you get into your
life's routine. Mine in particular, I

40
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.919
don't really see many people. Take
my kids to and from school. I

41
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.280
go to my job on the weekend, but that's like an overnight deal,

42
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.000
not really dealing with people. But
the thing is, when you do have

43
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:29.159
to deal with people, it's most
likely going to be a negative experience.

44
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:34.080
The last two run ins I had
with people outside of my ordinary daily routine.

45
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.759
Driving home from picking up my daughter
at school again mountains, windy roads,

46
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.960
snow. I'm coming around a corner, coming downhill to the ride of

47
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.120
me. This guy pulls out of
his driveway without even looking. The extra

48
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:53.159
scary part is that my four year
old daughter had unbuckled herself and was being

49
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.479
rambunctious in the back, and I
was reading her the Riot Act while this

50
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.840
happened. Needless to say, I
swore off the road into a big giant

51
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.560
ditch full of snow. I must
have missed dude's truck by inches, and

52
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.719
then I missed the rock wall to
my left by inches. It was,

53
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.240
I have to say, fantastic quick
reaction driving on my part. I was

54
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.000
very lucky, and so it was
my daughter. She was not hurt.

55
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.680
So I'm sitting there stuck in this
ditch and the guy who had pulled out,

56
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.360
he gets out of his truck,
comes my way. I rolled down

57
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.160
the window and the first thing he
says to me is, man, you

58
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:35.639
were going pretty fast. What I
just may have saved your life, dude.

59
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.399
Never mind that I was going like
twenty five miles per hour, which

60
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.560
was under the speed limit because there
was snow. So I'm just kind of

61
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.839
taken aback, like okay, buddy. But then he did say that he

62
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.759
was sorry and offered to tow me
out. So I get out and we're,

63
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.040
you know, tying up the ropes
and all that stuff, and he's

64
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.600
insistent I'm trying to pull me out
from behind. I I don't think that's

65
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.519
gonna work. Mind you, this
whole time he is talking about how I

66
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.199
was going so fast, okay,
bot, let's take about twenty percent off.

67
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.480
Are over there eight and just really
starting to get under my skin.

68
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.040
I'm trying to tell him that we
need to tow me out from the front,

69
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.959
like I said, He's insistent,
he's unable to pull me out from

70
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.680
the back. He finally relents and
says he'll try the front, but mind

71
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.959
you, he is also mentioning several
times about how fast I was going.

72
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:33.079
He also then starts mentioning how I
may have to call a tow truck because

73
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.759
he's gonna be late. And mind
you, this whole time, I'm just

74
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:41.000
biting my tongue. I'm just like, get towed out, go home,

75
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.000
just move on. He pulls me
out of the ditch from the front.

76
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.519
I get up on the road,
I get out to I guess, thank

77
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.360
him and shake his hand, and
he starts going on about how people come

78
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.959
around that corner too fast and all
this, and I'm just like, dude,

79
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.279
I am so out of here.
Peace. So you know, this

80
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.240
was just annoying interaction with a person. Two days later, I'm making lunch

81
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.360
for my two little daughters. I
happen to look out the front window.

82
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.800
I have a fairly long driveway,
I don't know, maybe sixty yards or

83
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.199
something like that, and I just
happen to see a bunch of snowblow up,

84
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.800
you know, just kind of come
flying out of the ditch. I

85
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.759
walk over, look around some trees, and I see a FedEx truck that

86
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:28.279
has gone off the road down into
the ditch alongside my driveway. No other

87
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.959
vehicles around. I finish up the
lunch or whatever, I put the baby

88
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.399
to sleep, and I look back
out there and he is standing at the

89
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.399
end of the driveway on a cell
phone. You know. I imagine he's

90
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.319
calling his boss or something. So
I throw my boots on, my jacket

91
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.040
on, and I go out there, and I hear him talking on his

92
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.560
phone about how another car had come
around the corner and was I don't know,

93
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.759
caused him to go off the road. Now, that was a blatant

94
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:57.240
lie. You're calling me a liar, right now, would you calling me?

95
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.839
But you know, I'll give the
guy some credit. He's give him

96
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.879
the benefit of doubt. He's probably
talking to his boss doesn't want to get

97
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.920
in any sort of trouble or whatever, right, that would big deal.

98
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.720
So head down there with the truck
offered to help him. He's doubting that

99
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.319
you know he can be helped,
that he's too stuck in there. And

100
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.319
now I have a little bit of
OCD blood in me and some grumpy old

101
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.800
man in me, just kind of
how I was born. But I don't

102
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.240
get too particular about a lot of
things. I'm a pretty laid back guy.

103
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.519
But one thing I definitely don't like
messed with is my driveway in the

104
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.079
winter, effort to keep it clean
of snow and ice and give him my

105
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:39.199
schedule. These days it's very hard
to do all the children and all these

106
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:43.560
things. But in the process of
him going into the ditch, he had

107
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:48.360
also sprayed up a lot of snow. The snow bank basically had fallen into

108
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.439
the end of my driveway. Regardless
we'd tell him out he was a younger

109
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.199
man, get out, unhitched the
toe, and he drives off without really

110
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.920
ever, I don't know any sort
of sincere thank you. So I get

111
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.120
back in my vehicle to drive up
my driveway because I'm obviously on the road

112
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.040
at this point, and I noticed
that in towing him out, even more

113
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:15.720
snow had come up at the end
of my driveway. And of course,

114
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.279
who gets stuck trying to come up
the driveway? Me choice work super chief.

115
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.480
I'm trying to be a less cynical
person. But as my one year

116
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.759
old daughter is potentially napping, hopefully
napping, this whole ordeal of hoping out

117
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:39.399
an ungrateful guy is eating into my
one, perhaps one and a half hours

118
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:45.759
of solitude or productive time for myself. And I'm angry. But what this

119
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.480
guy me thinking about was this idea
of living I don't know, in somewhat

120
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.919
solitude, or this idea of not
wanting to be around people, this idea

121
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:01.559
of living somewhat remotely that every time
you run in to somebody, it is

122
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:07.240
most likely or at a much higher
rate, a negative experience, thus perpetuating

123
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.399
your desire, your want to be
away from people, sort of like some

124
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.879
sort of self fulfilling prophecy, the
sort of sequence of action and thinking,

125
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.639
I mean, isn't that basically what
turns into agreaphobia, the fear of leaving

126
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.279
your house. So what the hell
does this have to do with pitching prospects?

127
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.279
Right, insummation. I think if
you did it more often, it

128
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.759
wouldn't be as scary. Man,
I just haven't had very much luck investing

129
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.840
in pitching prospects. Well, yeah, I've been playing in a league with

130
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.559
you for several years now, and
I see you got twenty five thirty hitters

131
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.720
and five pitchers. Have you figured
out what your success rate is? More

132
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:48.840
tickets you buy, the better your
chances are. So I think some folks

133
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.080
might be setting themselves up for some
thinking airs focusing on the four hitters that

134
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.600
worked out for them, while not
focusing on the twenty that didn't, and

135
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:03.000
yet wondering why there's zero one pitchers
out of five didn't work, which I

136
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.799
don't think is all that different than
me thinking all the people I run into

137
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.320
these days or assholes? Is en
philosopher Bashow once road a flute with no

138
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.639
holes, it's not a flute,
and the donut with no hole. No

139
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.840
no, no, no, no, no, no, unbelievable. Thank

140
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.720
you very little. Anyways, thank
you for the question at Twinkie girl.

141
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.679
Let's get on to some players,
all right. Cincinnati Reds one of my

142
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.679
favorite teams when I was a kid, Nasty Boys, Barry Larkin, Eric

143
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.600
Davis, Chris Sbo love those teams. These days, it's not quite so

144
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.360
much that though, right. But
our original red selection was Ivan Johnson,

145
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.279
admittedly not a guy I've watched a
lot of a guy that I have thought

146
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.240
about watching from time to time,
but can't seem to find him playing now

147
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.279
that it's been that horrible. But
twenty twenty one he played in what is

148
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.840
it, seventy nine games, but
then this last season it was only fifty.

149
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.240
Don't totally remember what the motivation was
for him to be on the list

150
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.159
to start things off. He was
one percent owned in July of two twenty

151
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.879
one, but he was a twenty
nineteen fourth round draft pick out a junior

152
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.399
college in Florida and a guy who
production wise has been kind of consistent.

153
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.240
Moving up low A hit two sixty
three high, he hit two sixty five

154
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.840
double A. This last season he
hit two sixty one three sixties. On

155
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:33.519
base percentage slugging has never been anything
remarkable, but in rookie ball twenty nineteen

156
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.039
he hit six home runs in forty
six games. Whatever rookie ball, But

157
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.679
in twenty twenty one he got some
AFL run and he hit six home runs

158
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.600
in the AFL. That's a month
long season, probably like a second base

159
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.440
profile hasn't put up gaudy numbers,
but has flashed some things, and he's

160
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.519
been a mainstay on their Top thirty, on their popular top thirty lists for

161
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.360
good three years now. But again, not a guy that I'm super familiar

162
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.360
with. Watched a ton of I
had a much better selection for this season,

163
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.840
and that's Alex McGarry, who won
the Reds Minor League Hitter of the

164
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.039
Year award. Ellie Dave Lacruz was
the Minor League Player of the Year,

165
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.639
but McGarry one hitter of the year. He's a guy that I'm kind of

166
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.559
surprisingly having a hard time leaving out
there on the wire at the ends of

167
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.519
my drafts. Also this list of
things that we want. The pickles can

168
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.759
be midget with the cheetos better be
puffy DA's right say. Had a breakout

169
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.720
season, yet in November he was
owned at zero percent. I see now

170
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.480
that he has crept up to two
percent. McGarry played college ball at Oregon

171
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.000
State. He hit ahead of Adley
Rushman. Twenty twenty was his draft year,

172
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.960
and he was definitely on the map
as one of the more highly thought

173
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.960
of college first baseman of that class, but he did not get drafted,

174
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.159
which could very well play into some
of his lack of popularity. McGarry played

175
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.919
some outfield in college, but it
looks like he's first base. I think

176
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.320
he played a little bit of left
field and HIGHA this year, but he's

177
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.639
a first baseman lefty. He'll turn
twenty four this season. He was one

178
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.519
of five Red's prospects. I do
believe that got a non roster invite this

179
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.679
spring. Yeah, you don't find
him on any of the Red's top prospect

180
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.399
list, which is interesting. Across
three levels, he hit twenty seven home

181
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.840
runs. He got about two and
a half months in at High A,

182
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.879
then a couple of months in at
Double A, and finished the season with

183
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.080
like an eight game stint in Triple
A. For the season, he hit

184
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.960
two sixty four with a three to
sixteen on base percentage. And those numbers

185
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.039
might not scream out at you,
but I think there might have been a

186
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.240
little wrist injury that played into some
of this. Over his first seventy eight

187
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.639
games of the season, which was
three hundred and twenty seven played appearances,

188
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:56.080
he hit two eighty eight three thirty
nine OBP and slugged over six hundred six

189
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:01.320
oz three And there are some strikeouts, I mean one hundred and two strikeouts

190
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.240
in that time span. But as
he jumped up from High A to Double

191
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.759
A, he didn't skip a beat. He slugged over six hundred high with

192
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.399
eleven home runs and one hundred and
sixty seven plate appearances. Then his first

193
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.679
one hundred and sixty Double A plate
appearances, he slugged over six hundred with

194
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:22.519
thirteen home runs. Now the rest
of the way, starting in early August,

195
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.240
I do believe they're on out.
He only hit like two hundred with

196
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.320
three home runs. There was an
il stint with a wrist injury, and

197
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.240
I watched a good bit of him
down the stretch, and I just don't

198
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.879
think he was really the same.
I had wondered if there was maybe some

199
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.399
intent to try to hit the other
way more often. Maybe there was,

200
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.519
But I can't help but wonder if
he had not had the wrist injury,

201
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.960
what his final season totals might have
looked like. The pace that he was

202
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.159
on, he could have very well
been up there with the minor league leaders

203
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.720
and home runs. He's a good
sized guy, like six two over two

204
00:14:54.840 --> 00:15:03.080
hundred pounds strong, the guy that
just kind of looks like he swings a

205
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.639
heavy bat. I don't hate his
left handed swing whatsoever. And he's a

206
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.519
lefty. You actually had a better
average, more walks, more of an

207
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.279
on base guy versus lefties, but
he seemed to not do as much damage

208
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.440
slugging wise from against lefties. And
although you know, there's there's plenty of

209
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.679
players that I like so hanging around
at the end of my drafts these days,

210
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:30.240
and guys that I probably prefer just
overall over McGarry, but I just

211
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.440
can't seem to leave him out there
with the feeling that if he does quote

212
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.559
pop up, it might be rather
quickly. So he's going to big league

213
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.080
camp. And if you think about
the Reds first base, there's what two

214
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.360
people in front of him, right, Joey Vado and Will Myers. Sure

215
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.360
there's, you know, maybe some
other possibilities, but the Reds don't have

216
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:54.000
a long term first baseman in the
fold yet. At least that's how it

217
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.600
kind of appears right now. Maybe
the odds are slim, maybe they're not,

218
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:02.000
though, but the idea of McGarry
hitting in Great American Ballpark, it's

219
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:06.639
just a little too tantalizing compared to
other guys you're contemplating who might be a

220
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.679
few years away and stuff like that
at you know, pick three hundred of

221
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.919
a first year player slash supplemental draft
or something like that. You know,

222
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.799
And with the with the strikeouts they
did through the course of the season,

223
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:25.080
even through his injury lesson he was
like a thirty percent at high A.

224
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.600
Down the stretch, I think he
cut it down. He was probably had

225
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:32.799
about twenty two percent clips. So
in my looks, I don't know.

226
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.080
I mean, he's trying to hit
home runs, you know, is he

227
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.720
big league ready? Is he gonna
come out of the gates like? I

228
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:48.480
probably doubt that, but I don't
know. Just feels very decide interesting to

229
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.759
me. And he did. He
did tack on fifteen stolen bases, and

230
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.200
they seemed to come more plentiful as
he moved up to Double A too.

231
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.759
Not that I'm going to be planning
on McGarry getting me any major league stolen

232
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.440
bases, but he might be a
guy who could chip in a few.

233
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.759
It's a first baseman Alex McGarry of
the Reds might be worth a look.

234
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:15.200
And then my Red's Picture selection as
Julian Aguar was nowhere on my radar until

235
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:21.839
this last offseason when I was thinking
about trying to find a Reds pitcher.

236
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.359
Agar was a two thousand and twenty
one twelfth round pick out of Florida Junior

237
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.920
College. It's good size six three
eighty listed right hander, and he'll be

238
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.880
twenty one years old this year,
owning three percent of leagues. He spent

239
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.920
the majority of the season in Low
A, got two starts in High A,

240
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.200
one of which was against a guy
I'm a fan of and as Joey

241
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.640
Yesta's and I have to say,
Aguar like kind of really got me interested

242
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.640
that outing, which I think was
his last of the year. But he's

243
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.319
a fastball, changeup guy that seems
pretty solid, good mid nineties velocity,

244
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.599
but his slider that looks to have
plenty of movement really kind of took the

245
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.200
show that outing. More or less
just his willing and ability to throw it

246
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:06.960
in any count two oho in a
sticky spot starting off abs with it for

247
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.880
what seemed to be the third or
the lesser of his offerings. I don't

248
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.279
know, it seemed like, you
know, maybe it was just a day

249
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.880
that he was especially feeling that pitch, but kind of got me much more

250
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.039
intrigued. You got eighty eight and
a third innings in at low A.

251
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.799
He had a three point one six
r a ten point four nine k per

252
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.519
nine at two point two four walks
per nine. But you know, if

253
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.240
he was if he was pitching the
way that he was that last outing of

254
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.559
the season, that's that's kind of
impressive to me at that level, that

255
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.200
age. So you got a young
guy with three offerings, all of them

256
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.039
looking to have some potential. To
me, a guy with seems to have

257
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:52.359
pretty decent command execute his pitches and
his tough pitches and tough situations. That's

258
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.640
not really something you see every day
at these levels. So Julian Aguar,

259
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.400
it's kind of snuck up on me
a little bit here, and I'm interested

260
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.599
to watch him. All right,
Let's talk a little Milwaukee Brewers, who

261
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.720
maybe frustrating their fans more than most
these days, but the B side hunting

262
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:17.039
has also been quite frustrating. Our
original brewer was Eduarki Fernandez, who was

263
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:22.240
a fairly highly touted international signing in
twenty eighteen. I believe he signed for

264
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.720
over a million dollars. The fantasy
appeal was a potential power speed threat coming

265
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:33.880
out of twenty twenty, seemed like
an interesting choice. When he was seventeen

266
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.519
twenty nineteen in a DSL, he
hit eleven home runs and stole fifteen bases

267
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.960
in seventy two games. Struck out
quite a bit. Well, you know,

268
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:47.039
maybe that would get better, but
it hasn't. Talking thirty eight percent,

269
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.480
forty one percent, thirty seven percent. Finally got up to full season

270
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:56.000
ball this past season, thirty four
games in low Ay. He has hit

271
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.480
some home runs, and you know
it hasn't hit for that horrible of an

272
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.279
average. This last season he hit
like two fifty some. He had one

273
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.039
hundred and twenty three at bats this
past season in Low A. I did

274
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.240
not see one of them until that
k Ray starts dropping significantly. I'm probably

275
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.359
not gonna be too interested. We
then moved on to Corey Howell, who

276
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.640
we talked about in the second episode
when we talked about the NLST. He's

277
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:26.359
now with the Padres. So then
going into last season, Ernesto Martinez was

278
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.680
our choice, who was owned in
two percent of leagues at the time.

279
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.599
He is now owned and I believe
one percent of leagues. So back in

280
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.960
twenty nineteen, the Brewers sent Martinez
to Triple A. He was just twenty

281
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.400
years old at the time, and
that was jumping up from Complex ball.

282
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:47.000
Over forty eight games, he hit
two sixty two with six home runs,

283
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:51.079
stole four bases. There were some
strikeouts round thirty percent. Then, of

284
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.480
course twenty twenty happened, and then
he caught my attention. Down the stretch

285
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.480
of twenty twenty one, where he
was in Lowa at twenty two years old,

286
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:02.559
he hit two seventy four slugt four
ninety two, eleven home runs,

287
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:06.680
but he stole thirty basses. Martinez
is a big lefty, like six six,

288
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.160
two hundred and forty pounds, maybe
big Cuban kid. A lot of

289
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.160
fun to watch too, Just kind
of having a lot of fun out there,

290
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.680
you know, big guy, big
lefty, potential power of speed.

291
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.079
I don't know. I was interested
to see how the trajectory would go.

292
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.640
And you know, a guy who
had proved to be able to handle himself

293
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.119
fairly well, you know, in
Triple A for a short stint. But

294
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:32.119
unfortunately twenty twenty two was kind of
a lost season. April at High A

295
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:36.720
wasn't very productive, and then he
was on the I L until August,

296
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.480
came back from injury, played some
rookie ball, got back to HIA for

297
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:44.880
like two weeks, nothing really remarkable. He ended up getting just twenty one

298
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.880
games in at HIGHA this year,
where he hit two thirty seven, two

299
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.359
home runs, stole eight basses,
though there's still some strikeouts. I saw

300
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.160
maybe a handful of his zat bats
this year, nothing really remarkable. But

301
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:02.000
he's a big athletic guy and has
some skills that could be quite interesting fantasy

302
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.279
wise. So I don't know.
He'll probably start this season back at High

303
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:08.319
as my guests. Maybe we'll see
him around, maybe we won't. I

304
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.680
don't know, we'll see So then
this year didn't really have a bunch of

305
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:18.359
inspiration or anyone in mind. And
then I noticed that the Brewers sent one

306
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.839
of their two thousand and twenty two
draft choices to HIA at the end of

307
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.279
the season, and that was Tayton
Hall. It's a catcher who can play

308
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:32.119
first base and probably some outfield found
it quite interesting that the Brewers would send

309
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:33.920
a nineteen year old straight out of
the draft. More or less, he

310
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.839
got a little bit of rookie ball
in but he was one of these junior

311
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.400
college guys go to junior college for
a year and become draft eligible. So

312
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.559
he came out of a Florida junior
college signed for about one hundred and sixty

313
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.480
K. But he is the son
of former big leaguer Toby Hall, and

314
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.680
he's not without some prep pedigree.
I believe Perfect Game had him ranked as

315
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.200
like a top twenty or thirty catcher
for his class. So there'll be another

316
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:03.160
very small samples, but I think
I watched all of his hiaat bats was

317
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.319
just like nine games Worth didn't look
overmatched at all. He hadn't hits in

318
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.880
I think six of nine games.
He's a big kid, six four,

319
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.680
two hundred and fifteen pounds, a
frame that he could probably still grow into.

320
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:19.920
The first thing you'll notice about him
is just like a really odd setup

321
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:25.400
at the plate. Dan's like completely
open to the pitcher perpendicular. But he

322
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.559
gets himself into a good hitting stand. So that's just whatever he feels comfortable

323
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.640
doing that. I wouldn't make anything
of it. I like the look of

324
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:37.480
his swing. He didn't seem to
get fooled too much overmatched, made some

325
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.759
good swing decisions. Look to me
to be a kid that was kind of

326
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:44.599
looking to go the other way,
seemed to have patience. When he was

327
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.880
in junior college, he walked twice
as much as he struck out. You

328
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:52.759
know, I don't really know,
or I've seen enough about him so necessarily

329
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.000
know what kind of hitter he might
be. But he's a big guy.

330
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:56.559
I don't and he didn't hit any
home runs this year. I don't think

331
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.640
we're not talking a whole lot of
that bats, But the look of his

332
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.160
hands and his bat speed, I
don't think he's a guy who will ever

333
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.000
steal your basses and stuff like that. But the Brewers might have themselves an

334
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.680
interesting kind of versatile catcher type who
can actually swing it from the left side.

335
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:17.000
I had wondered in my deepest of
leagues if he would be a choice

336
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.200
of mine, a first year player
choice of mine near the ends of my

337
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:23.720
drafts, and that hasn't come to
be yet and probably won't. But definitely

338
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:26.680
a guy I want to watch some
more and learn some more about. That's

339
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.000
Tayden Hall. He's a good looking
player, not quite as good looking as

340
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.000
Matt Vogel's mom, but nonetheless,
ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

341
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:44.920
Then the Brewers pitching selection really was
a no brainer for me when I saw

342
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.759
that he was only owned in three
percent of leagues. And that's justin Jarvis,

343
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:53.319
who pitched mostly in high this past
season, got four starts in Double

344
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.839
Ay, none of which I saw
because my internet went out. But I

345
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.920
had reviewed Jarvis for Prospect Picture List
in review and he was starting to get

346
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:07.559
kind of interesting to me, perhaps
a prep pitcher who was finally kind of

347
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.799
coming into his own this season.
Very much kind of a north south up

348
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.079
and down attack. He's got like
a mid nineties fastball that seems to get

349
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.200
some good life up in the zone, and then he's got the big traditional

350
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.839
hook to go with it. There's
a slider and a change up too.

351
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.680
I was interested to see how those
might come along, because they probably weren't

352
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:27.920
super quality the point I was watching
him, but I had picked up a

353
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:33.039
share in a thirty kind of thought
the progression was going nicely. He's a

354
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:36.559
good sized rity at six two,
I don't know, maybe two hundred pounds

355
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:38.799
if that. He's a little wiry. Yeah, he was a twenty eighteen

356
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:45.920
fifth round pick, prep kid from
North Carolina. Interestingly, his splits are

357
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.720
kind of reversed. I think he
was more successful versus writings. He had

358
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.559
put up some impressive stat lines with
some high k's towards the end of the

359
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.440
stretch I was watching him. He
was actually Rule five eligible this last year

360
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.559
and was not selected, which probably
makes sense. I don't think he's quite

361
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.519
polished enough to hang in the bigs
all year, But you know, the

362
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.599
Brewers that have done some things with
some pitchers, and I'm interesting to see

363
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.200
where his development has taken them.
As he gets going in the upper levels.

364
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.720
Here might be a little sneaky guy
to watch and we'll definitely be tuning

365
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:21.720
in. Let's get into a system
that's a pretty nice b side hunting ground,

366
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:32.880
the Saint Louis Cardinals. I think
it's been pretty clear and abundant their

367
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.160
ability to develop some players that maybe
weren't the biggest names when they first became

368
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:42.599
pros. They've had some success with
kind of taken more experienced college bats that

369
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:48.440
maybe weren't as touted, seeming to
have some current success with guys like Mason

370
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.799
Wynn and Tim Kents, who were
I mean they weren't nothings on the prep

371
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:59.359
scene, but kind of considered a
more raw athletic and I helped shape them

372
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.440
into dang good baseball players. The
original B side list, my Cardinals selection

373
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.640
was Patrick Romari. Again, this
was coming out of twenty twenty, and

374
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.240
I don't remember the specifics of it, but I was I did the top

375
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.279
fifty list on pitcher list for the
Cardinals. Doing my research for that list,

376
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.200
I came across for Mary. The
Cardinals took him in the twelfth round

377
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:23.279
of the twenty nineteen draft out of
IMG Academy, which is obviously a pretty

378
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:29.200
prestigious baseball academy, and I can't
really say that my interest was anything more

379
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.640
than interested in why the Cardinals were
interested. They were able to sign him

380
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:38.759
away from college two hundred k.
He's a good size six three, two

381
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.759
hundred pound right hander. He'll turn
twenty two this season. But really my

382
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.400
main thing with him is I've just
wanted to see him and there hasn't been

383
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.559
a whole lot of opportunity to do
that. When we were putting the list

384
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:56.519
together, I believe it was Trevor
Hooth who recommended to me Lars newt bar

385
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.519
as my choice as the Cardinals choice
have been a lot cooler, but anyways,

386
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:06.079
twenty twenty one didn't get to see
any of Ramary that season. Bradenton

387
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:11.359
was the only broadcast in that league, and either Cardinals affiliate didn't play there

388
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.400
at all this that season, or
Ramary was hurt or gone when they did.

389
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:21.079
He was a zero percent ownership guy, and I just kept him on

390
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.000
the list un till I got to
see him, which was finally this year,

391
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:29.599
and not very much. Twenty twenty
one ended up not being a very

392
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:33.759
impressive season statistically. He got in
seventy nine games, three hundred and twenty

393
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:38.039
two played appearances, He had seven
home runs, struck out thirty percent of

394
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:44.599
the time, hit two thirty six, select only three seventy three. But

395
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.480
yet, like I said, I
just kept him around because I didn't really

396
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:52.400
have any other inspirations and I just
wanted to see him play. This year,

397
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.119
he got one game in at a
ball in Palm Beach when on the

398
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.680
IL came back middle of May for
just a handful of games, went back

399
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.160
on the IL, he did some
rehab down in rookie Ball in June,

400
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:08.160
got back at the very end of
June, and I noticed that he had

401
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:14.759
had a couple of very hot weeks
and finally got to see him play during

402
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.720
the series at Saint Lucy in July. He only played eighteen games for Palm

403
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:23.559
Beach and then got promoted to HIA. But during that eighteen game stretch he

404
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:29.640
hit four oh seven the four sixty
two one basse and slugged seven ninety seven

405
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.839
with five home runs and three steals. The couple of games that I watched

406
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.880
struck me as a dude with a
pretty powerful swing. Looked like the end

407
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:42.319
of the bat got deep, and
he crushed some balls. I wouldn't say

408
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:45.680
that it was enough looks to get
really a great feel of what kind of

409
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:51.160
hitter he might be. The promotion
to HIA didn't go nearly as well,

410
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:55.480
though. He struck out thirty four
percent of the time, not very impressive

411
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.839
numbers. But over the last two
years I did scope out some of his

412
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.480
his backdoor savant stuff, and but
dude does register some pretty high exce velocities.

413
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:08.920
So Rami remains very much kind of
an unknown to me, and somehow

414
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:15.240
his ownership jumped up to three percent
as of November. I wasn't going to

415
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:17.880
keep him around anyway, as though, because I had someone else I was

416
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:22.960
a little more excited about and that's
Jeremy Revas, who won Palm Beach's Player

417
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:27.480
of the Year in November. He
was owned in two percent of fantrax leagues.

418
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:33.599
A major publication named him the Cardinals
best defensive infielder in their system,

419
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:40.119
which really got my attention because Mason
Wynn is in their system. So Rivas

420
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:44.039
played, you know, obviously a
ball. Not a lot of telecasts,

421
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:49.039
so I have not seen much.
Maybe watched about ten games worth of at

422
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:53.799
bats and PopEd around and some backdoor
savant stuff. He's a nineteen year old

423
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:59.440
right handed hitter listed at six foot
one hundred and seventy two pounds. He's

424
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.920
got a strong base. Then he
does you know, like upper body but

425
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.279
a good size, you know,
short stop. He was a twenty nineteen

426
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:10.759
international free agent out of Venezuela,
signed for six hundred K. I believe

427
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.039
he started off the season producing well, had a rough spell, but in

428
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.960
my opinion, the bat doesn't look
like there's no potential. There's some exit

429
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.000
velocities. He had the highest line
drive rate of anyone on our B side

430
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:25.279
list this season, and it really
seemed to me like the effort was just

431
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:29.319
to hit everything back up the middle
line drives up the middle, which I

432
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:32.680
don't know. I mean, I'm
no hitting coach, but that doesn't seem

433
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:36.880
like a bad place to start for
a guy whose bat needs some development.

434
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.440
And I love to pay attention to
the guys who get labeled defense first,

435
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.440
especially teenagers. For the most part, if you're really good at defense,

436
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.839
it means you work really hard at
it, you put in the effort.

437
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.480
It also probably means that you're a
really good athlete. And the narratives of

438
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:59.720
guys like Francisco Lindor and his Zepeel
Tovar being labeled defensive first guys as teenagers

439
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.039
and folks not really putting much projection
in their offensive capabilities stick with me.

440
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.599
And of course the odds of that
happening are probably slim, But if Vas

441
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:14.240
shows up this season in HIGHA and
starts putting up some offense, I'm all

442
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.920
over it. We know a guy
who can play a plus shortstop won't necessarily

443
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:23.240
have to be a huge offensive contributor
to get an everyday job, so we

444
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:28.160
will definitely be keeping a close eye
on what Jeremy Revis is doing, especially

445
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.799
early in the season. I always
find the pitching in the Cardinals system to

446
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:36.359
always be pretty intriguing, and that's
definitely the case with our B side choice

447
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.480
Austin Love this year, who's currently
owned in three percent of leagues. Last

448
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:43.240
year, Love was kind of on
the fringe of mine, I don't know

449
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:47.759
deeper college pitching targets for first year
player drafts. He was selected in the

450
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:52.119
third round of the twenty twenty one
draft out of North Carolina. Only saw

451
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.599
a few video clips of him at
that point, but what interests me was

452
00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.279
he was a guy who was lauded
for his command, had a very and

453
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:07.079
still has a very unique delivery,
a like extra extra short arm sort of

454
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:13.319
action, almost like a looks like
a torontosaurs rex throwing, and his slider

455
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:17.200
got really good reviews. So a
guy with a high command of a potential

456
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:22.599
legit, you know, cheap code
pitch. It was kind of my initial

457
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:27.039
attraction. Never drafted him or anything
like that, but I did keep my

458
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.400
eye on him this year, and
the production wasn't really coming all that well.

459
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:35.519
His ear was over five for the
season. But more importantly, this

460
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:39.480
guy who was supposed to have such
great command was very inefficient. The walks

461
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:45.279
were too high and lefties hit him
very well. Now some of the story

462
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.640
with him around the draft was you
know, he was initially, like a

463
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.599
lot of college pitchers, a reliever
for North Carolina. They didn't start,

464
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:55.880
I believe, until his senior year. And he's a guy who's fastball can

465
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:59.759
be like, you know, get
up to like ninety eight and short spurts,

466
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:05.319
but probably sits two when he's starting. But I think perhaps the starting

467
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:08.760
experiment may have gotten some new life
breathe into it down the stretch because he

468
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:13.639
seemed to get much better. There
were still some runs given up, but

469
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:17.519
the k's increased. I think the
strike percentages increase. The walks went down,

470
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:22.360
not by like huge amounts. But
the slider when I was watching his

471
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:29.360
ability to put that you know,
nasty looking slider from that I don't know

472
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.559
how he can throw like that,
to be honest with the arm action is

473
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:36.199
wild. You gotta see it.
It really looks like a t rex.

474
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:39.559
But his ability to place that slider, you know, on his glove side

475
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:44.760
side of the plate was pretty impressive. I think this changeup, I don't

476
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:46.440
know, this changeup might have a
chance to be really good too. So

477
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:51.639
we're talking a guy that could have
three weapons and if the command comes back

478
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:54.239
like it was supposed to be there. Love might be putting up some you

479
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:59.000
know, numbers in the upper levels
next year, might get some more attention,

480
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.239
and I won't lie. Also interested
to see if he just does go

481
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:05.119
to the pen what that might look
like. So like, you know,

482
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:09.119
his first real pro season might not
have been anything spectacular, but I can

483
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:13.400
see why the Cardinals took him in
the third round. Now he was I

484
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:17.760
think somewhat of an underslot signing,
but nonetheless, Austin Love is an interesting

485
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:22.119
arm I want to watch. Let's
talk about some of these dirty grouse Northsiders,

486
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:29.719
the Chicago Cubs. I say we
march right now to Wrigley Built and

487
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:36.599
kick every one of their fucking a
There's not many to talk about here because

488
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:39.440
jo Hendrick Pinango had been on the
list for the first two seasons. May

489
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:43.880
have twenty twenty one, he was
at two percent ownership. He got up

490
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:49.360
to six percent in February of twenty
twenty two, and what was really surprising

491
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:53.239
to me was in July of two
twenty two he had dropped down to three

492
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:58.840
percent and he's now currently at ten
percent, so finally owned enough that he

493
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:00.880
will graduate off of the list.
And got a new one for this season.

494
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:06.159
But I want to talk about Pinango. Folks that like to talk prospects

495
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:09.119
with me know that I am a
fan and his ownership rates just haven't really

496
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:15.400
made much sense to me. Pinango
was a twenty eighteen international free agent from

497
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:19.719
VENEZUELA left handed hitter, not super
big. He's listed at five eleven,

498
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:23.440
one seventy. That's probably pretty accurate. His first pro season twenty nineteen in

499
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:28.000
the DSL, he hit three fifty
eight and two hundred and forty at bat.

500
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.519
He hit zero home run, struck
out only twenty times. There was

501
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:35.760
a little bit of buzz about him. I had watched some videos on Twitter

502
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.119
or whatever, and that was enough
to be my cub. And the phrase

503
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:43.559
my cub coming out of my mouth
is horrific. So twenty twenty one,

504
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:46.400
he's in low A at Myrtle Beach
at nineteen years old. He hits two

505
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:52.800
seventy two with a three twenty two
on base percentage. Now Pinango is swinging

506
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.440
the bat up there, as we've
talked about, that's my style with a

507
00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:59.440
young kid like this in a ball. But now the issue was or the

508
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:04.199
concern, the question was he only
slugged three seventy and hit only four home

509
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:08.199
runs. His groundball rate was fifty
seven point two percent. Not ideal,

510
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:12.519
and I'm sorry. He got up
to Hia at the end of twenty twenty

511
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:15.960
one for about a month, but
irrelevant. He hit one home run there.

512
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:21.599
Narrative was Pinango is a fantastic pure
hitter, but he hits too many

513
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.159
ground balls. Isn't going to hit
for power. There's no argument that he

514
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.039
hit too many ground balls, but
I was not sold that he wouldn't hit

515
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.199
for power. To me, it
just felt a little bit like a young

516
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.840
guy getting a lot of swings,
and I think he has it in him

517
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.920
to become more accurate with those swings, and I think he has it in

518
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:42.760
him to learn how to play out
in front more twenty twenty two starts.

519
00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:45.039
He's in Hia at twenty years old, and in a lot of ways,

520
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:50.000
that is exactly what started happening.
His first three hundred and forty nine played

521
00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:55.199
appearances eighty one games, he slashed
two ninety six three thirty two four eighty

522
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.119
with twelve home runs, and his
k percentage shot up to a opping sixteen

523
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.480
percent. And again, with the
ownership rates, we saw him go from

524
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.119
six percent at the beginning of the
season too now at this point three percent,

525
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.440
So I was getting a little excited, thinking, all right, Dynasty

526
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:14.719
owners are really missing the mark.
Here. I was sitting at the computer

527
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.639
geeking out on some baseball stuff.
Did like a little filter left handed hitters

528
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:22.519
and high a give or take the
same age year plus or minus of Pinango,

529
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:28.760
and he's having just as if not
more, of a productive season than

530
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:32.000
Tyler Satis from was at bad juncture. There's some other high brown names on

531
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:35.920
this little shortlist, and I tweet
that out, saying, hey, come

532
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.159
on, now, why are we
dropping Pinango when he's doing exactly what we

533
00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:42.679
wanted to see him do? And
of course, I mean it might have

534
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:47.079
even been like that day, but
he just fell off a cliff. Statistically

535
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:52.000
from there on out, one hundred
and seventy played appearances, forty games,

536
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:57.360
one eight two, twenty four,
one ninety four, with one home run

537
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.960
and at twenty two point four percent
k rate. As much as it pains

538
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.880
me to say, Panogo is a
guy that for two seasons I watched quite

539
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:09.360
a bit of almost you know,
semi religiously tuning in checking it out twenty

540
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:13.920
twenty one. I was watching he
and Tovar probably more than anyone, and

541
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:17.440
they were at the same level.
Got moved up to hide about the same

542
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:22.079
time. And if you would have
asked me just from a hit or aspect,

543
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.239
just from a production standpoint, who
would have had the twenty twenty two

544
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.519
that Tovar had, maybe minus stolen
bases? I would have said, my

545
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:37.199
bad is Pinogo over Tovar. That's
how much I preferred his skills at the

546
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:39.400
plate compared to Tovar. So,
like I said, I get excited and

547
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:44.280
like, hey, buckle up,
let's go. It's you know, pinonggo

548
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:49.719
time. I'm gonna send you up
against the best. You two characters are

549
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:53.119
going to top Gun. I don't
know, maybe a week after two weeks

550
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:57.360
or whatever is when I lost my
internet and went blind to what was going

551
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.320
on. To me, there was
just no way that he could just fall

552
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:02.960
off a cliff like that. Too
good of a hitter. Was asking around

553
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.960
one day in the prospect one room, and our good friend Zito had shared

554
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:12.800
with us that Penango was in a
cast. Shortly after the season, there

555
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.599
was some sort of injury that the
Cubs didn't really talk much about, or

556
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:21.239
something like that, and I'm completely
buying that. Long story short, even

557
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.800
though he's up to ten percent ownership, I still feel like Pinango is very

558
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:28.280
much a B side and he'll be
why. He'll turn twenty one this season

559
00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:30.960
and could very well be in Double
A. He could really swing the bat,

560
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:35.960
and that's good because he's probably gonna
have to if he's gonna make the

561
00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:38.280
Bigs. Back in twenty twenty one, I thought he I mean, the

562
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:43.440
looks that I got of him playing
corner out field were not pretty. But

563
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:46.480
evidently the reports are now that he's
all right. He's not a fast guy.

564
00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:50.360
I wouldn't say he's slow, but
you know, I don't think speed

565
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:52.760
is really going to be any part
of the game. He's gonna have to

566
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.800
hit his way into the Biggs.
I believe he's got some high exit velocities.

567
00:40:55.920 --> 00:41:00.239
I also know that his average exit
velocity probably isn't very good because he

568
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:04.800
makes a lot of contact and a
lot of weak contact comes with that.

569
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.920
But that doesn't deter me. Let
the young hitter get a bunch of his

570
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:12.239
swings in, just like a pitcher
learning a new pitch. Let him throw

571
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.840
it a bunch and calibrate all that
so Jo Hendrick Pinango. I'm waiting for

572
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:20.880
a big season. I think we
were gonna get it last year and injury

573
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.840
screwed it up. My cub choice
this year was bj Murray. Murray was

574
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:31.400
a fifteenth round two, twenty one
draft choice out of Florida Atlantic. He

575
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:36.000
grew up in the Bahamas and played
high school ball in Florida. I don't

576
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:40.119
think he really came onto the draft
scene until he had a big senior season.

577
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:45.079
I see he'll be playing for Great
Britain in the WBC. He's you

578
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:52.840
know, I'll miss you, miss
me. Murray also got some AFL action,

579
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:58.440
and that's really when he kind of
got onto my radar. Saw him

580
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:02.320
hit an impressive opposite field home run
from the left side. Murray's a switch

581
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:07.719
hitter. He's listed at six foot
two hundred and five pounds. It's like

582
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:12.360
a strong guy strong lower half.
Split the season between Low A and High

583
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.800
A. Wouldn't necessarily say he blew
up the stat sheet, but had a

584
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:19.159
pretty solid season. In fifty six
games at High A, he ended up

585
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:23.320
hitting two seventy three with a three
eighty eight on base percentage and slugged four

586
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:29.480
h six. He hit five home
runs there and stole eight basses, but

587
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:34.760
over his last two hundred played appearances
there he slashed three twenty five, four

588
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:38.320
twenty seven, four seventy nine with
five home runs. I believe it was

589
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:43.440
somewhere in there. I saw Jeff
ponce right about him a little bit as

590
00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:47.239
a helium guy. So I'm not
the only fan or semi fan. I

591
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:51.079
don't want to call myself a fan
of a Cub, but I just did.

592
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:53.360
He seems to have hit for a
little bit of a better average as

593
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:57.840
a lefty, slugged a little bit
more as a righty. He has a

594
00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:04.599
reputation of being just kind of a
field rated Jim Rat guy, hanging out

595
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:07.400
soaking it all in. I mean
a lot of guys are like that.

596
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:10.599
But in November he was owned in
one percent of leagues, so perhaps there's

597
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:15.840
a little bit of a late bloomer
sort of thing happening. Murray could very

598
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:19.559
well be playing in upper levels this
year. I think there is skill.

599
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:23.679
I like the look of his swing
from what little bit I've seen, But

600
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:29.559
I think Murray makes for a pretty
nice B side selection this season. We'll

601
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:34.920
definitely be keeping tabs. The Cubs
low A affiliate Myrtle Beach from a production

602
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.599
standpoint, had a pretty fantastic season
from their starting pitchers. Their opening day

603
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:45.159
rotation was Luis Devers, Porter Hodge, Richard Gallardo, Luke Little, and

604
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:52.239
then our cubs B side pitching selection
for this season, Tyler Schlafer. Again,

605
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.320
I want to keep some of these
pitching B sides in perspective here,

606
00:43:55.840 --> 00:44:00.599
But in Low A Schlafer had a
three eighty two er, one ninety average

607
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:05.800
against and a twenty seven percent k
rate. Kind of a cool story for

608
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:10.719
him. He was a twenty nineteen
ninth round pick out of a Chicagoland suburban

609
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:14.760
high school. It's a pitching for
the home team. He's listed at six

610
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:17.800
eighty. It will be twenty one
years old this year, owned in three

611
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:21.760
percent of leagues. Now in Low
A, do you have a pretty good

612
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:24.360
secondary and you can execute it really
well, You're gonna have a lot of

613
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:29.840
success. In my opinion, that
whole Myrtle Beach rotation could all do that.

614
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.719
They also have a lot to prove
to me before I get too too

615
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:37.559
excited about them. Schleifer's game is
a fastball and a changeup. I don't

616
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:43.679
think the velocity on the fastball is
anything too special, but it definitely has

617
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.079
some life to it, some movement
to it, and the changeup seems to

618
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:50.559
really fade and move more so than
most. And it isn't that he can't

619
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.199
spin a breaking ball. I think
he spends two of them, but they

620
00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:59.400
are liable to go anywhere. So
that will be, I'm sure the focus

621
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:02.280
of his development this season and what
it will take for me to get more

622
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:07.000
excited. But we're gonna watch for
that, So Tyler Schlaffer not without some

623
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:12.239
interest. The Pittsburgh Pirates have given
us a little bit of B side success

624
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:16.519
and I'm hoping thinking there might be
some more coming. Josiah Dixon was our

625
00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:21.760
original choice, who was owned at
one percent of leagues back in July of

626
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:25.119
twenty twenty one, and he's still
at one percent, and I'm not sure

627
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:30.559
it should even be that high.
Dixon was a twenty nineteen twenty third round

628
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:35.000
pick out of a powerhouse California high
school. He was a well known prep

629
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:38.679
but I don't think anyone really expected
him to sign like a plus plus athlete,

630
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:43.920
burner, center fielder, but the
question has always been hitting. But

631
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.920
his twenty nineteen rookie season, he
hit like over three hundred with over four

632
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.559
hundred on base percentage in a small
rookie league extint, which teased me into

633
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:57.760
thinking maybe the Pirates were onto something
here. Well, two twenty one was

634
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:00.239
not very good. Twenty twenty two
is now very good. I don't know

635
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:04.159
if you can hit, but he
is really fast and he does play a

636
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.519
great defense in center field. He's
currently twenty one right handed hitter, listed

637
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.400
at five eleven, one hundred and
eighty. You know this last year was

638
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:14.880
actually sent back down to rookie ball
for a minute. In his forty five

639
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:17.280
A games, he hit two thirty
two with a three twenty two on base

640
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:22.280
percentage and slugged two eighty eight.
So I don't really have any more interest

641
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:29.039
in keeping tabs on Josiah Dixon trash
beer. Come on, hey, beer

642
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:34.599
is beer? Jeez, I cannot
win on this, but we sent him

643
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:39.440
off the list halfway through twenty twenty
one. Anyways, to add Diego Castillo,

644
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:44.000
who was only owned in one percent
of leagues in July and then,

645
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:46.639
I don't know, it might have
been weeks or a month later, he

646
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:52.000
was promoted to the Bigs. He
has since been traded to the Diamondbacks this

647
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:55.000
offseason. I don't know, you
know, how excited we might be about

648
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:58.920
his big league career and all that, but I think it was definitely a

649
00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:01.920
B side win to identify a guy
who was owning one percent of leagues who

650
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:05.679
went to the bigs. But we
don't need to get into him. He's

651
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:09.559
not a B side prospect anymore.
So heading into two thousand and twenty two,

652
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:15.719
my selection was Dario Lopez, who
is still very interesting to me and

653
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:19.639
still very much a B side prospect, with his ownership rate at three percent

654
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:23.559
in November one percent at the beginning
of last season. He just turned twenty

655
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:28.679
one, just a couple of days
ago. Strong right handed hitter listed at

656
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:34.039
six one eighty three pounds, he
was a twenty eighteen international free agent out

657
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:37.960
of the Dominican Republic. And I
have tried to watch as much as I

658
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:42.800
could of Lopez twenty twenty one.
He's down in Lowa at Bradington, which

659
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.760
is the one stadium that broadcasts in
that league that season, so he got

660
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:49.440
to see his home games. Not
that I watched all of them, but

661
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.320
I watched a good chunk of Bradenton
that year because it was the only place

662
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.639
to see anyone in that league,
But Lopez really started to get my attention.

663
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:00.000
Down the stretch I believe he was
hitting was the top of the lineup

664
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:04.559
as a nineteen year old. Bradenton
went on a championship run and he actually

665
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:08.519
hit what ended up being the league
winning home run final game of the playoffs,

666
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:13.719
And what got my attention was that
he really hit the ball hard when

667
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:16.440
the ball got deep on him.
The right handed hitter was just hitting some

668
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:21.719
monster shots into the right center field
gap. Swing a miss, didn't seem

669
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.559
too bad, just generally caught me
as a young kid who might be able

670
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.440
to really slug. One day twenty
twenty two, he's up in High A

671
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:32.639
at Greensborough, who does not broadcast, and a lot of teams in that

672
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:37.159
league do not broadcast, so didn't
get to watch nearly as much of him.

673
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:46.760
But boy did he go on a
heater tonight. From June eleventh to

674
00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:52.480
August thirteenth, he hit three sixty
one, three eighty seven select six h

675
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:57.800
five over two hundred and seventeen played
appearances, with thirteen home runs. In

676
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:00.719
that span, he had an eighteen
game hitting streak, which I believe was

677
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:05.159
a league record and a thirteen game
hitting streak, yet getting no attention.

678
00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:08.719
So I kind of started asking around
a little bit about him, and really

679
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:15.159
the reactions I got just weren't very
interested, weren't very excited. Just said

680
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:19.440
he plays at Greensboro Small Park and
all that, and yes, okay,

681
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:22.079
that's true, I get that,
But I mean, not everyone in that

682
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:28.400
park is going on eighteen and thirteen
game hits streaks. I think he had

683
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.920
like a hits in like twenty two
out of twenty five games or something like

684
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:35.199
that, but not everyone's doing that. One of the reactions I got was

685
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:39.599
that he is just a heavy pull
guy trying to hit home runs out of

686
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:44.559
the short park, which got me
digging around a little bit because that was

687
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:47.599
very much not the impression that I
had of him in a ball. You

688
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:52.320
know, I thought this was a
you know, potentially a budding all fields

689
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.199
hitter. We hit for power to
all fields. So in rookie ball,

690
00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:59.239
he pulled the ball forty two percent
of the time, in a ball he

691
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:01.599
pulled the ball thirty two point eight
percent of the time, and in high

692
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:06.159
a he pulled the ball forty four
point four percent of the time. So

693
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:08.960
I'm thinking, hey, look,
at that we're both right. In a

694
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:14.239
ball he hit opposite field thirty nine
point three percent of the time. So

695
00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:17.719
we got a guy who was in
a league that was supposed to be harder

696
00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:22.800
to hit in harder to hit home
runs, which he hit I believe ten

697
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:30.320
home runs in a ball to a
small park in High A where he was

698
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:34.320
pulling the ball and trying to hit
home runs. Should we be knocking a

699
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:38.519
guy because he's aware of his surroundings? To me, that says, Wow,

700
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:44.039
look at this guy who's nineteen twenty
years old, has the skill to

701
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:47.199
be able to hit be a different
hitter in a different environment. I don't

702
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:51.320
know. I take that as a
plus, not a knock. Also heard

703
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:53.679
some interesting stuff that, you know, maybe he has a chance to be

704
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:58.159
a platoon bat. So I dug
on his splits the last couple of years

705
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.559
and this past season in High A
he really struggled against lefties. Again,

706
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:05.920
he's a right handed hitter. He
didn't even hit two hundred against lefties.

707
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:10.119
He crushed rights both average wise and
slug wise home run wise, hit some

708
00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:14.639
home runs against lefties, but did
not hit them nearly as well. In

709
00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:19.360
a ball. He actually hit lefties
better than rights. I don't really know

710
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:22.239
why that might be or how to
explain that, but I think there was

711
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:27.320
definitely a shift of some sort and
what kind of hitter he wanted to be

712
00:51:27.719 --> 00:51:30.239
and all of that, whatever the
answers might be, is a plus in

713
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:35.440
my book. I've liked his ability
to cover the plate in different locations,

714
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:38.679
in different speeds. I've liked to
his ability to catch up to velocity.

715
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:43.360
Like I said, I've liked his
ability to hit for power opposite field.

716
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:46.000
I don't know, just a guy
that I'm pretty bullish on. I don't

717
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:52.039
really care if no one likes them. I do, and I'm excited to

718
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:55.639
see him probably in Double A this
year as a twenty one year old who

719
00:51:55.679 --> 00:52:00.400
I think can do some damage with
the baseball bat if he can keep the

720
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:06.519
k rate down. He's consistently been
around twenty five percent. Isn't that horrible?

721
00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:09.480
But I'm hoping as he matures a
little more, maybe he can cut

722
00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:14.440
into that. If we've seen a
few b sides make that happen, we'll

723
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:17.199
talk about them in some coming episodes. Oh and I failed to mention that

724
00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:23.360
there was some sort of injury and
he played sparingly kind of down the stretch,

725
00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:28.239
those numbers tailed off a little bit, but whatever, that's irrelevant to

726
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:30.840
me. Now he's a you know, I think he might be listed as

727
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:34.800
a short stop. I think he
might have played some short stop, but

728
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:40.320
he's probably like a corner infielder long
term. So Dario Lopez definitely gonna keep

729
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:53.119
watching. I'm a fan. My
selection for the Pirates this season is Chase

730
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:58.000
Bowen. Here's a twenty two year
old who played LOWE and high A last

731
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:01.079
year. Kind of played all over
the place defensively, outfield, second base,

732
00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:05.719
first base, third base, owning
two percent of leagues. Solid,

733
00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:08.440
strong kid, six foot, probably
two hundred pounds. He was a twenty

734
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:15.440
nineteen eleventh round pick out of high
school in Ohio, signed for four hundred

735
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:19.280
k. Now right, wrong or
indifferent Northern guys, I give them a

736
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:22.800
little bit benefit of doubt, give
him a little bit more time. Bone

737
00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:27.519
wasn't a ball in twenty twenty one. Statistically, didn't blow anybody away,

738
00:53:27.639 --> 00:53:30.760
But I think twenty twenty two was
a little bit of a breakout season for

739
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:35.559
him across the two levels. He
hit seventeen home runs and stole twenty five

740
00:53:35.559 --> 00:53:39.280
bases. I don't think he's anywhere
close to being any sort of polished hitter,

741
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:44.760
but over his last two hundred and
twenty nine a ball played appearances,

742
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:50.239
he slashed three sixteen, three seventy
six five h five with eight home runs

743
00:53:50.320 --> 00:53:53.280
thirteen stolen bases. He was promoted
to HIA, which there was only a

744
00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:59.639
few games to watch from there because
again Greensboro NAT broadcast, But he struggled

745
00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:04.039
to produce like he was. He
hit three home runs and they have actually

746
00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:07.599
happened to be off of some pictures
that I like, so hard to speak

747
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:10.199
on you know what his struggles may
have looked like there. He looks to

748
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:15.880
be an aggressive guy, probably too
aggressive sometimes, but again I like young

749
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:19.679
aggressive hitters. There's definitely some swinging
miss in there. We'll see if there's

750
00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:22.039
some more maturity here. Now,
obviously you're not going to bet on everybody

751
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:25.159
being able to do that. That
would just be ridiculous. But the Bone

752
00:54:25.199 --> 00:54:29.159
isn't a guy that I'm rostering right
now or drafting or anything like that.

753
00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:32.119
He's just kind of an interesting watch. But I think he's shown at least

754
00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:38.000
some ability to be a potentially exciting
fantasy asset with his power and potential speed

755
00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:43.159
maybe ability to play all over the
place. He's not polished there. You

756
00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:45.599
know, his splits don't look so
great or anything like that right now.

757
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:50.199
But let's just see. This would
be about the age that he would be

758
00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:52.559
hitting pro ball if he had gone
to college. So let's just see what

759
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:57.920
happens here. We'll keep some early
tabs on Jace Bowen. I imagine he'll

760
00:54:57.960 --> 00:55:02.599
probably be in Greensboro again. Hopefully
there's some more teams broadcasting there, maybe

761
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:07.119
even Greensboro that would be nice.
The pirate arm that I decided to go

762
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:10.239
with is Carlos Yemanez, who's currently
owned in one percent of leagues. Twenty

763
00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:15.440
years old, right hander, strong, big guy six two. They got

764
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.920
him listed at one hundred and forty
pounds. There's no way he spent his

765
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.719
whole season in a ball so he
had another Venezuelan finding himself on the B

766
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:29.280
side list not surprising. I've probably
looked at more backdoor savant stuff on Jimenez

767
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:31.920
than actually watching him pitch, But
he first caught my eye when I had

768
00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:36.760
tuned in to watch Tink, Hence, when he was in braidington Yemanez was

769
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:39.079
on the other side, and sometimes
you just turn on the video and there's

770
00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:44.679
a guy who just wows you.
You know, it's just different. It's

771
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:49.000
just a different speed, different movement. And I'd say that was the case

772
00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:53.199
with Yemenez, just generically just tons
of raw arm talent. I think his

773
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:58.679
fastball was sitting around ninety six and
it looked lively, and so did his

774
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:01.599
secondaries. Plenty of movement, but
human, haz, I mean, he's

775
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:06.679
wild walks here an issue. Putting
the ball where you want is an issue,

776
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:09.960
all right, vun they tell out
you're a picture. You're sure not

777
00:56:10.159 --> 00:56:15.320
much of a dresser. We wear
caps and sleeves at this level. Sun

778
00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:30.920
understood. All right, Let's see
what you can do. And that's not

779
00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:35.639
typically a profile that you know,
I get too interested in. But every

780
00:56:35.639 --> 00:56:37.960
once in a while I might take
a guy like that just to see if

781
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:42.760
it tightens up. I'd much rather
do that with a guy who's a free

782
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:46.079
waiver wire pickup than somebody I have
to draft. So I felt like him

783
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:50.880
and Az was a good B side
selection. At least keeps some tabs on

784
00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:54.159
see if the command improves it all. And if it does, I imagine

785
00:56:54.199 --> 00:57:00.760
strikeout numbers will be there. I
mean they already were over sixty nine innings.

786
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:05.519
This year he struck out eighty eight, but he also walked forty five,

787
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:09.400
So I mean that's a five point
eight one walks per nine. That's

788
00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:15.400
not that's not gonna get it done. But I mean there's plenty of stuff

789
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:21.280
here breaking ball, change up velocity
that is not going to be his problem.

790
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:25.840
So Carlosminez of the Pirates not without
potential. All right, Well,

791
00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:30.880
I think that's enough of me talking
at you for this week. I appreciate

792
00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:35.119
you joining me. I also appreciate
folks that have been following along these last

793
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:40.480
four shows being gracious and patient with
me as I learned this podcasting technology and

794
00:57:40.599 --> 00:57:45.480
craft and things. Hopefully the volume
is better than it was in the first

795
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:51.119
few shows, and I'm not breathing
into the microphone and smacking my lips so

796
00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:55.119
much and all that stuff, trying
to project my voice better and all that

797
00:57:55.280 --> 00:58:00.320
jazz. It's a very different animal
than writing stuff. And I have gained

798
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:04.800
so much more appreciation for Bagman and
the Welsh and other folks that I like

799
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:07.519
to listen to. Who do this
again. You can follow me at pitching

800
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:14.760
Specs on Twitter. I'll also be
joining the Baseball America What are they calling

801
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:22.000
it Fantasy Streamfest or something like that. I don't the horrible plug on my

802
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:25.440
part, but next weekend I think
I'll be talking with Jeff Ponce and Drew

803
00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:32.760
Wheeler about underrated prospects or seeking guys
under the radar, something of that nature.

804
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.880
So you can visit Baseball America dot
com or get at Jeff Ponce on

805
00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:40.480
Twitter and learn more about that if
you wish. Next week we'll get into

806
00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:45.480
the American League Central B sides,
some history and this year's picks. Again.

807
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:50.599
Thanks to Chicago Farmer for letting us
use a little bit of his music.

808
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:54.400
We'll let him take us out be
well, and i'll talk to you

809
00:58:54.480 --> 00:59:04.079
him Monday. First on his face, and on the very next pitch he

810
00:59:04.280 --> 00:59:14.719
up and stole second face with greatst
beat. He wasn't born, but he

811
00:59:15.239 --> 00:59:17.760
had a daddy ass. Beautiful
