Yeah. I was actually, you know, it's weird. I 37 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,520 was reading that Life of Pie book and it's not 38 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,479 about Tiger Woods at all being on the raft are 39 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,159 Like what, I don't get it. But if Tiger Woods 40 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,680 was on that raft, would think would have caps way. 41 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,400 What's going on, man, Tiger? Why are you driving us 42 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,919 straight into the middle of a tsunami? Brother, I'm gonna 43 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,639 get him a driver. 44 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: It's it's it's absolutely hipster. And the amount of money 45 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,400 he has, I mean, I would never never touch a 46 00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:19,280 steering wheel again. 47 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: That was like, like, honestly, it's it's interesting though, because 48 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,439 it's like a window into some people's psyche. Because like 49 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,120 if I had say, I don't know a trillion dollars 50 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,639 I want to be on Twitter, I would be like 51 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,719 I would I would be like, you know what, I 52 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,479 think I'm gonna buy South America and just own the 53 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,319 entire continent to be like, you know what I'm gonna 54 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,680 hang I'm hanging out. 55 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,039 Speaker 3: In Brazil today. 56 00:03:55,759 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, so people with their money, 57 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,879 they don't know we spend their time or money correctly. 58 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,759 I'm just saying, oh man, yeah, so uh cool cool brother. 59 00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:16,639 So I so I thought it might be a good 60 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:22,720 idea to go over quickly my FAB because I didn't 61 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,959 see and I also, you know, just so people know 62 00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,560 who they're listening to, I think I'm in dead last 63 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:35,759 out of like thirty thousand teams. So so just saying no, 64 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,040 this is this is kind of important. Anyway, I did 65 00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:46,519 a FAB and for this is fifteen team. I didn't 66 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,600 see him mentioned in your notes. That's why I'm bringing 67 00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:55,920 it up now. But people should stash Didier Fwent is 68 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,279 now in FAB. I got him for forty out of 69 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,800 one thousand dollars, so roughly four dollars out of one hundred, 70 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,920 and I saw, I saw he went for more in 71 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,839 some legus less than other legs. You know, whatever LEAs 72 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,519 leaks very depending on size and how much people are 73 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,600 still paying attention twelve days into the season. But uh, yeah, 74 00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:28,120 so Diniar Fuentez is I think a good stash. He 75 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,879 looks incredible in Uh, it's just a matter I believe. 76 00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:36,279 I want to be shocked if we see him like 77 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,360 within a week, maybe two at the most, because like 78 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,279 he's just mowing down people everywhere he goes. That's included, 79 00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:50,879 like he's right now, he's being stretched out in the 80 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,240 minor down in Triple A, and he. 81 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: Is mowing people down, man, Like it's insane. 82 00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 2: I I know it's only you know, it's only a 83 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,759 few innings, so small sample size obviously, but did your 84 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,480 flint as like I want him in every league. 85 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: I'm even I'm stashing him right now in. 86 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,199 Speaker 2: Twelve team leagues just to see if he looks as 87 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,360 good in the majors as he looked in a spring 88 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,000 training and b the minor leagues right now. So yeah, 89 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:23,480 I'm I just I just want to throw that out 90 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,959 there because we did have we had FAB for you 91 00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:31,920 know some leagues on Sunday. 92 00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And also we have if you're in the 93 00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:38,600 wrest LAMB, which I know you are, Gray as as am. 94 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:42,680 I we actually have our first of two FAB runs 95 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,560 for the wrest Lam tomorrow, so I guess probably today 96 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,079 you're listening, which is April seventh, so hopefully you have 97 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,079 put those in. I don't believe it runs in the morning. 98 00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:53,600 I think it actually runs sometimes in the day, so 99 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:56,879 hopefully you're listening this if you forgot about that, but 100 00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:59,199 go make your your FAB claims out there. Would you 101 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,639 grab Diddy a with as in a league like Rats 102 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,279 Slam where it is a best ball format, so you know, 103 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,000 taking up a roster spot where it's not necessarily producing 104 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,319 for you can be a little detrimental. But we also 105 00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,879 don't have another one until June, So what are your 106 00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:19,399 thoughts on grabbing somebody like him on this background? 107 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. There's a technicality I think is probably 108 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,160 worth mentioning that if a guy wasn't drafted, he's and 109 00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:36,480 he didn't start the year in the majors and he 110 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,160 hasn't been called up yet, he's not going to show 111 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,519 up in free agency. So there's a good chance that 112 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,519 Didier Fuentez is either on a team or not available, 113 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,480 So it's probably mood, but I would in theory, I 114 00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:55,839 would pick up Didier Fuentez in the Rats Slam. 115 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Rats Slam is also rather than three thousand. 116 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,079 Speaker 2: Teams being dead lasted, I'm only I think I'm only 117 00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:07,240 dead lasting like three hundred teams for the rest. 118 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,879 Speaker 1: Well, plenty of time to turn that around, Gray, lots 119 00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:11,920 and lots of season. 120 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: Left, good Man turn out the year. Well, you know 121 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,639 what I'm saying. I'm like, I'm I'm in mid season 122 00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:22,680 right now, doing good. 123 00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: For everybody listening. But didn't understand what Gray was talking 124 00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,160 about in regards to point is not being available. That 125 00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:32,519 is an n FBC specific quirk that you if a 126 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,600 prospect is not drafted, they cannot be added to a 127 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,360 team until they are then promoted to the Major. So 128 00:08:38,759 --> 00:08:40,879 if you're wondering why you're looking at your league, you're like, 129 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,120 I see my dad's right there, why wouldn't I grab them? 130 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,759 That's that's what we're talking about. 131 00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, technically the Rats Slam is at an FBC, So 132 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,120 that's why I felt like it was worth mentioning. We're 133 00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:54,200 talking about the rest. 134 00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:56,879 Speaker 1: You know, we know that, Gray, but everybody listening may 135 00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:58,759 not be in the wrestlam or may not be aware 136 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:03,200 that it is on NF. So just throwing those details out. 137 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,159 Speaker 2: Right right right, right, right, right right right. 138 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: Somebody who somebody who would have been drafted in all 139 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:11,240 those leagues, but if he wasn't would have become available 140 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:14,080 this week Gray, And that is Connor Griffin. He signs 141 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,519 a contract with the Pirates for nine years, one hundred 142 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,799 and forty million dollars. Has not played a single game 143 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,200 in the majors when he signed the contract. Last year 144 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,320 in High A. In Double A, he had twenty five 145 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,639 or twenty one home runs and sixty five stone bases 146 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,039 and hit three thirty three sixteen games. In spring training 147 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,919 he had four home runs of stone base only hit 148 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,120 won seventy one and then in five games in Triple A. 149 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,200 So far this year he has three stone bases and 150 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,919 he's hitting four thirty eight. So Connor Griffin, Gray, obviously, 151 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,360 if he's available, you're adding him. But where are you 152 00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:52,480 sliding him in amongst shortstops if you're looking to potentially 153 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:53,159 trade for him? 154 00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:58,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, So about the the nine year, one hundred and 155 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,200 forty million. I wish I would have been to fly 156 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,679 on the wall during those discussions, because I feel like 157 00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:09,000 it was probably like Connor Griffin and his his agent 158 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:16,039 was probably like, Okay, we'll do five years for two 159 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:23,480 hundred and Bob Nutting and his people were like twelve years, 160 00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:30,240 fifteen dollars in Somewhere. Somehow they eventually they got on 161 00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:33,279 the same page. And honestly, you know, good for the 162 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,879 pirates because and actually good for Connor Griffin too, because 163 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:41,720 like he's got generational money at one hundred and forty million, 164 00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:45,240 and he's still only gonna be what twenty eight years 165 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:49,759 old when his contract is up, So in theory, like 166 00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:53,799 if he's as good as you know advertised, which you know, 167 00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:56,799 I think he is at twenty eight years old, he's 168 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,480 gonna be able to sign another ten year deal for like, 169 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,480 you know, five hundred plus million at that point if 170 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:10,639 he is as good, so you know, he like, both 171 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,799 both sides did really well here, you know. I think, 172 00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:18,600 uh some people were talking about how there're you know, 173 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:24,039 people are signing uh rookies or prospects even to these 174 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,440 long term deals as a way of uh you know, 175 00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:32,759 avoiding the salary cap. Which is coming, uh, which potentially 176 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,559 could be coming next year, depending on you know, how 177 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,240 the negotiations go on the new CBA, and you know, 178 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,919 to that, I say, I don't think the Pirates probably 179 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,120 really to worry about salary cap. I just I would 180 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,440 be I would be kind of surprised if the Pirates 181 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,919 are like, oh shucks, we couldn't sign Paul Schemes for 182 00:11:55,039 --> 00:12:01,559 four hundred million because of the salary cap. Ah Man anyway, 183 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:08,240 so real baseball and money and contracts aside. We were 184 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,519 I think we both said Connor Griffin would be sent 185 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:17,600 down to start the year, So we were both right, 186 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,679 slight caveat that. I think we both thought he wouldn't 187 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,320 be up for much longer. I personally did not think 188 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,799 he was going to be up until at least May. 189 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,159 I was kind of surprised that they called him up already. 190 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,080 I you know, I'm actually I feel like he you know, 191 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:44,000 he obviously he's more than capable. His last year in 192 00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:49,399 the minors just ludicrous. I mean, twenty one homers, sixty 193 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,480 five steals, three thirty three as a nineteen year old, 194 00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:56,399 I mean, it's really and the caveat of as a 195 00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:00,159 nineteen year old is super important there because like seen 196 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,000 year olds don't do. 197 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,279 Speaker 3: That stuff, Like that's just insane. 198 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 2: Even if it was at mostly at lower levels of 199 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,519 the minor still, I mean he has shown that, you know, 200 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,120 at nineteen, Like if a guy is promoted at nineteen, 201 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,879 I think it was like Soto, I believe was like 202 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,879 the last guy who like, you know, it's like if 203 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:29,879 guys are promoted at nineteen, then it's like, okay, are 204 00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:34,159 they going to be Hall of Famers or just incredibly 205 00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:39,080 good multiple year all stars in the major leagues. It's 206 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,720 like there's not a there's not a ton of guys 207 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,480 who get promoted at nineteen and are just like he 208 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,759 kind of thinks, like that doesn't it just doesn't happen. 209 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,799 Like there's no like, there's very few examples of like 210 00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:55,519 nineteen year olds that come up and are just like, 211 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,840 you know, completely awful, barring you know, some sort of 212 00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:09,320 unforeseen circumstances legal issue, Right, We'll leave it at that. 213 00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:13,320 But yeah, I mean, you know, otherwise you get promoted 214 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,279 at nineteen, you're going to be a superstar. So yeah, 215 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,759 and I see no reason why Connor grifferin Griffin can't 216 00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:25,120 be a superstar there's like there's nothing in his profile 217 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,639 that like jumps off the page of me, and it's 218 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,120 like some sort of like concern. I'm honestly, I wish 219 00:14:32,159 --> 00:14:36,840 I would have drafted him every league because at where 220 00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:39,480 he was going. I think when when it when he 221 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:42,559 got sent down and it was clear he wasn't going 222 00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:46,279 to break camp with the team, I think he was going, 223 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,840 as you know, after two hundred, at a certain point, 224 00:14:49,919 --> 00:14:53,480 I think he I think he started falling in some leagues, 225 00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:55,759 maybe not all, but I think he was starting to 226 00:14:55,799 --> 00:15:00,879 fall and people got good deals there at the end. 227 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,519 If you drafted him, even if you draft him at 228 00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:08,039 like one seventy one fifty, even like overall, like I 229 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,120 think on the Player Raider, on the rest of the 230 00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:16,480 season player Raider, I believe he's like his projections come 231 00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:20,799 out at like top seventy five overall for hitters, top 232 00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:26,879 one hundred, one ten overall for everyone. I think he's, uh, 233 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,879 he's probably you know, I wouldn't say he's probably like 234 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,919 one of the best projected rookies that I can remember, 235 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,759 like in recent memory, at least like his his projections 236 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,840 taking everyone else aside. I mean, his projections just look 237 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,240 like you know, fifteen Home, fifteen Homer, thirty Steel two 238 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,440 fifty five average and that's you know, I mean roughly 239 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,480 mckel garcia ish and you know where he went and drafts. 240 00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:03,639 I mean, people should know where he went. It wasn't 241 00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:06,559 that long ago you guys were drafting. So yeah, I mean, 242 00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:11,360 you know, Miguel Garcia I think is probably a fair 243 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:20,320 comp too. I want to say maybe top, you know, top. 244 00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: I would say if I was redrafting right. 245 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: This second, I'd probably put him in the in the 246 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:31,919 top seventy overall, maybe maybe top sixty. So yeah, I'm 247 00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:35,240 a I'm a huge fan obviously, I think everyone probably is. 248 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,679 I mean I'm not I'm not saying anything outside of 249 00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:44,240 the ordinary here. I think if Connor Griffin does what 250 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,759 he's capable of, I mean, I you know, I mean 251 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:50,879 it's a little early to be talking about next season, 252 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,960 but top twenty overall is well within the realm of possibilities, 253 00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:00,919 like at worst top thirty. I mean, it depends on 254 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,200 how he looks this year, but I don't know, it's 255 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,640 gonna be It's gonna be interesting. It's it would be 256 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,160 shocking to me if he completely, like you know, stumbles 257 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,640 and is terrible. He might have some growing pains. I 258 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:21,039 mean most guys do. And at nineteen or you know, well, 259 00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:24,039 he's gonna be twenty in a couple of weeks, but 260 00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:29,079 still at nineteen if he's like you know, if he 261 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:36,359 if he only does say fifteen, twenty two fifty, it's 262 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,920 still a success at night for nineteen. You know, at 263 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,559 at nineteen, Juan Soto hit twenty two, Homers stole five 264 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,160 bags and hit two ninety two. And you know, I 265 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,160 mean if he if Connor Griffin did some of that, Like, 266 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,480 if he did, he's more speed than Sodo obviously, but 267 00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:02,480 if he, if he did comparable sort of fantasy value, 268 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:05,480 it wouldn't shock me. That's and that's where we're at, 269 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,039 I think with Condor Griffin. I mean, there's no the 270 00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:09,960 ceiling is we don't. 271 00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 3: Even know the ceiling yet. 272 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 2: He's he's gonna be a top three overall pick within 273 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,079 three years, easy. 274 00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:21,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he could, he could definitely do do 275 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,519 all of that. Gray he is. He has all of 276 00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:26,359 the talent in the world to put it all together. 277 00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:31,160 You know, you gave some general numbers for where you 278 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,119 would put him in your rankings, just among amongst shortstops. 279 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,319 I'm going back to your draft rankings here him or Jeremy. 280 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 2: Pennon, uh, Connor Griffin. 281 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: Griffin or oh shit, Griffin Griffin or Corey Seeger Griffin 282 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,319 Griffin or Mookie Betts. 283 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 2: MM, that's tough because I really didn't like Mookie Bets 284 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,599 coming into the year. Done much chance would I think 285 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,279 if if I'm being honest, I would have ranked Bets 286 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:11,960 above Griffin in the preseason if even if I knew 287 00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:13,799 he was Griffin was breaking camp. 288 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, just the just the counting stats below, and where 289 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,880 he fits him in your best lineup in baseball. I mean, 290 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,000 it's it's hard to just push that album when you're 291 00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:29,119 making preseason rankings and say, draft this unproven rookie above him, 292 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,880 even though he's very, very good. So I think we 293 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,960 have a good idea where he fits a position. Let's 294 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,839 move over to some some pitching. Gray. We talked about 295 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,799 some some of the hitters who were hot and struggled 296 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,359 last week. Let's talk about some of the pitchers here 297 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,960 this week. Emit Shean, who I have on some teams 298 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,519 I'm sure a lot of our listeners do, and was 299 00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:51,319 drafted very highly. He had a little bit of a 300 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,119 velocity dip at the end of spring training, and he 301 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,480 has now been really struggling to start season night inings pitch, 302 00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:01,160 he has an eight year a one eight nine whip, 303 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,400 a eighteen point six percent strikeout rate, an eleven point 304 00:20:05,519 --> 00:20:10,079 six percent walk rate. Velocity is still down a mile 305 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,319 or two from last year. Kaser obviously down walks away up. 306 00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:17,640 The two starts were versus Arizona and at Washington, so 307 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:22,400 not not the toughest of competition. Any concerns here on 308 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,160 on immit Shean? 309 00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:30,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, A little bit, well, yeah, a little concerning. Uh. 310 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,359 I would like to see Emma Sheen pitch well, and 311 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,920 he's bitching terrible, so I'm a little concerned. I uh, 312 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,680 you know, I think it sort of goes back to 313 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,240 how unpredictable pitching is that, Like, I mean, I couldn't 314 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,720 have been more excited about Emmachian coming into the year. 315 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:57,559 But if a guy loses two miles on his fastball, 316 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,759 it's like, and there's no way of knowing that. I mean, 317 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:04,640 it's not like there's just literally there's zero way of 318 00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:08,359 knowing a guy is gonna be off on his fastball 319 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:15,359 that dramatically. So unfortunately, Yeah, I mean, I'm real concerned. 320 00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:20,240 Uh I think you know, it's either like, the best 321 00:21:20,319 --> 00:21:23,640 case scenario is it's a mechanical issue, he fixes that, 322 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,680 he regains the velocity, and he's fine. The worst case 323 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,480 scenario is the Dodgers, you know say, or I guess 324 00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:36,279 there's a medium well, okay, the worst case scenario is 325 00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:41,319 there's arm trouble. There's the medium case scenario, which is 326 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,960 like he just has a dead arm and he just 327 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:48,519 needs to you know, rest for two weeks, come back 328 00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:52,920 and he'll be fine, which is you know, a sort 329 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,559 of not I wouldn't say a regular occurrence, but it happens. 330 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,680 So there's yeah. But I mean, as he looks right now, 331 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,200 he's like unstartable. There's there's no league where you can 332 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,720 be like, oh yeah, I mean Shean is like, you know, 333 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,200 pitching awful, and I'm gonna send him out there against 334 00:22:12,279 --> 00:22:14,119 any team. Not gonna happen. 335 00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: He looks terrible, Yeah, he does. He does not look 336 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,480 like himself. It's it's tough. He has a matchup this 337 00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:27,240 week versus Texas at home. That's in theory or really 338 00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:30,519 good matchup for him. You know, I have him in 339 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,359 our our you know, only Gray, and I'm literally just 340 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,759 staring at him wondering if I should just start a 341 00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:39,359 reliever in instead of him, because that's that's all I 342 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,920 have to replace him. Uh So, like you said, it's 343 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,480 it's it's really hard even you know, only to run 344 00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:49,480 him out there. And again, you know I paid prices 345 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,359 for him pretty much. 346 00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, who's your who's your reliever? Connor Phillips. 347 00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: Uh No, it'd be either Cole Henry or Alex Messi. 348 00:22:57,279 --> 00:22:58,359 It would come in for him. 349 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: Oh, Cole Henry, bro Absolutely, you've been phenomenal. 350 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,319 Speaker 1: Cole Henry has been great if you need a real 351 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,079 lever to just plug in in a day where you 352 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,359 don't have a starter and a daily or if you 353 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,960 have and you don't want to start it this week. Yeah, 354 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,359 Cole Henry has been great. Alex Bessie has actually been 355 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,440 good too. He just doesn't throw as much because the 356 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,359 Dodgers are in a stat so. 357 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's less chance of him getting a saved. 358 00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:29,119 But yeah, anyway, enough for your team. 359 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,079 Speaker 1: Yes, we're moved off of my team. Let's talk about 360 00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:34,160 somebody who's probably on your team's great, and that is 361 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,160 Kyle Bradish eight and two thirds innings he has a 362 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,720 six to two three or er a one six two whip, 363 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,960 twenty six point three percent strikeout right, which in and 364 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,000 of itself is good, but it's down for him fifteen 365 00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:49,839 point eight percent walk rate, which is bad for anybody 366 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,200 and in bad for him. Even the velocity looks fine. 367 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,200 He's been versus the Twins and at Pittsburgh, so again, 368 00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:00,680 it's not a matchups thing where you like, oh, well, 369 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,160 he played against the Dodgers and the Yankees, so it's okay. 370 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,079 Any concerns here on your boy. How Bradish, He's never 371 00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:13,279 he has literally never struggled when he's something healthy, I. 372 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,599 Speaker 2: Think he's I think he's probably a good by Low. 373 00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:21,880 His command looks off. That's fixable for a guy with 374 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,599 you know, he has usually pretty decent he has solid 375 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,039 slash elite well maybe not an elite, but he has 376 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,000 solid command. Usually his command's way off. He's got in, 377 00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:40,160 you know, really terrible babbitt, crazy left on base. His 378 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:44,400 k's look fine. Honestly, I'd say by Low, I'm not 379 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,079 really concerned about Kyle Bradish at this point. You know, 380 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,039 I think I think we're gonna look back and be like, 381 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,599 oh man, if only I bought low after those two 382 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,279 opening starts. It's for him. I'm looking at It's like 383 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,480 it's less than nine innings. It's small sample size. I'm 384 00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:02,960 not worried. 385 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, nine innings is like a third of his innings 386 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,160 for the seasonally, So I mean, I'm just saying like 387 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,960 it could be. It could be a little tough here 388 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,720 if he's only gonna give us twenty good innings off 389 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,960 these bad ones. Would you, since you said by low, 390 00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:25,240 there could be some people out there really panicking worried 391 00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:27,680 about the innings. Didn't really he wasn't really sure about 392 00:25:27,759 --> 00:25:32,039 draft him anyways, would you trade the number one starting 393 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:35,920 pitcher on our player raider right now am Schlittler for him? 394 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: Uh Mmmm, That's actually a pretty good trade because, uh, 395 00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,279 I feel like most people would go Schlitler, But I 396 00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:52,000 think I would still go Bradish Schlittler. I feel like 397 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,720 is gonna come down and Brash is gonna go up. 398 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,480 But I mean it's a tough trade to make because 399 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,680 it's like apples for apples, But I would go Bradish 400 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,799 over Slitler, I guess is the point. 401 00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:13,319 Speaker 1: Okay, how about how about also struggling and we're gonna 402 00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:16,359 get to him here in a second Joe Ryan. 403 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,759 Speaker 2: Oh, you know, I I kind of I would go 404 00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:25,160 Bradish over Ryan. 405 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:31,079 Speaker 1: Okay, And how about how about just the king of strikeouts, 406 00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:31,839 Freddy Parolta. 407 00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: Don't Yeah, I mean I would. I would say Bradish 408 00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:44,319 still over par Alta. But it's close and not a 409 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,400 trade I would really make, because like you know, again 410 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,559 it's apples for apples. But yeah, I would go Bradish. 411 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. I know this is gonna sound weird, and they 412 00:26:53,759 --> 00:26:55,319 may come back to haul me at the end of 413 00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:56,920 the season, but I think I would take all the 414 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,400 other guys over Bradish in this scenario. The health is 415 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,319 always a problem, and like I said that, as you mentioned, 416 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,400 the command just does not look right. It's not been 417 00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:11,079 a you know, he's never been an elite command guy, 418 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,359 but he's been fine in that category. So that's that's 419 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,839 really concerning to me, and just the the Indians limitations. 420 00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:21,319 On top of that, if I could get what I 421 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,640 pay for him essentially, or something of value back, I'd 422 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,480 be pretty tempted at this point. Unfortunately, again, he'd come 423 00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:32,160 out in this next start, throw seven cleant innings and 424 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,720 ten k's and I'm I'm just gonna eat my words. 425 00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:37,440 So let's move on to the next guy, which is 426 00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:40,000 Nathan Uvaldi. Eight and two thirds Indians this year an 427 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,240 eleven four to two year, a two one nine whip 428 00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:46,319 twenty six point seven percent strikeout rate, six point seven 429 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,720 percent walk rate. You know, the kra walk rate look fine. 430 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,640 They're in line with what he normally does. If anything, 431 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,799 the velocity's up from last year. What are your what 432 00:27:57,839 --> 00:27:59,039 are your thoughts here on the Evaldi? 433 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 2: Oh man, the velocity is up, the k raids up. 434 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,279 I mean the walks look fine. I'm buying Evaldi everywhere. 435 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,440 I mean, e Evaldi is like probably the number one 436 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,680 by right now. I would I would go, I would 437 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,720 try and get Evaldi in every leg. 438 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you may not even have to really buy it. 439 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,240 He may just get cut in shallow enough leagues where 440 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,240 you just grab him up for eighty one Babbitt fifty 441 00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:27,599 four percent left on base. He's he's getting really unlucky. 442 00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:31,000 Everything looks in line. This isn't a situation where I'm 443 00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:35,160 concerned he's injured or there's a pitching mechanics issue, like 444 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,119 I'm kind of concerned with Shiad and Bradish, Like this 445 00:28:38,319 --> 00:28:40,640 just feels like he's just gotten unlucky here. Earlier in 446 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,839 the season, I said, we're gonna talk about him. Let's 447 00:28:43,839 --> 00:28:45,960 talk about him now. Joe Ryan Night and a third 448 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,720 this year four eight two e r A one two nine. 449 00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:51,200 We have twenty five point six percent strikeout ray five 450 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,480 point one percent walk rate. Vast. He's down a little bit, 451 00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:58,599 but he also started a little late because of the 452 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,720 lower back. Information right side Titan is the the latest 453 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,920 spring training. Are you concerned here? Not? 454 00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: Really, you know, my biggest concern really probably is the 455 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,240 fact that the Twins look just so awful that I 456 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,279 wouldn't be surprised to see it like a season of 457 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,680 like you know, five wins, ten losses and solid ratios 458 00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:27,039 like they the Twins just look awful, just so bad. 459 00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:30,720 So I don't know, I mean, that's you know, that's 460 00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:34,680 he could be even he might even win twelve, twelve 461 00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:38,079 to fourteen games, like you know, guys win games on 462 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,319 bad teams, So you know, take it with a grain 463 00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:45,000 of salt. But Twins look bad. But otherwise, no, Joe 464 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:48,839 Ryan looks I think Joe Ryan looks fairly like basically 465 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,400 what he always is. Just maybe you know, a like 466 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,519 you said, VOSSI was down a little bit, but not 467 00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:57,960 really that even that bad. So I yeah, I don't 468 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,680 mind Joe Ryan. I've I feel like he's a decent 469 00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:02,480 buy as well. 470 00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would be buying Joe Ryan. Everything looks in 471 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,160 line with him, and and he's the one, He's one 472 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,880 of them where and I guess the only one of 473 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,319 this group where he had one good start and one 474 00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:14,480 bad start that makes his numbers look bad because we're 475 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,880 two starts end of the season, whereas the rest of 476 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,279 this group all had two bad starts. So I'm fine 477 00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:23,319 with it. And velocity for Joe Ryan is down at 478 00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:26,359 the beginning of pretty much every season, so this is 479 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,599 kind of just his his build up period. I'm not 480 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,359 I'm not concerned about it. I would also be buying 481 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,519 and buying pretty aggressively if somebody is worried about Joe Ryan. 482 00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:40,519 Let's move on to some some better pitching, some some more. 483 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,319 There's some positive notes here Gray on the pitching side. 484 00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:47,279 Code icing eleven and two thirds endings this year three 485 00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:49,880 or ninety or a one two whip, thirty four percent 486 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,000 strikeout rate, ten percent of walk rate. You know, I 487 00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:56,559 will say pre injury last year he was a one 488 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,920 three nine y ar A one one three whip guy 489 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,400 the velocity. He is up a mile or two, so 490 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,359 it's up to ninety six point six. It was ninety 491 00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:09,039 four point seven the last two years. I'm liking what 492 00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:10,160 I'm saying from k I Singa. 493 00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, agreed, I was. I probably couldn't have been 494 00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:17,799 even more out on Senga in the pree turned into 495 00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:21,599 a mistake because I wish I had Senga in a 496 00:31:21,599 --> 00:31:27,200 bunch of leagues. He looks great, Velos is up everything 497 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:29,799 like you mentioned, like he's even been a little bit 498 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,160 unlucky like the K's look great. His command looks about 499 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,440 in line, you know, command not great, but in line 500 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,240 with what he usually does. And he seems like, you know, 501 00:31:43,359 --> 00:31:47,720 all things being equal, neutral luck. He looks like a 502 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:53,160 you know two eight five to three five era pitcher, 503 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,079 which you know, I mean, I don't know how many 504 00:31:55,119 --> 00:31:58,720 innings you're gonna get necessarily, cause you know, he hasn't 505 00:31:58,759 --> 00:32:03,839 really stayed healthy. Uh you know, he's he's had a 506 00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:07,119 little bit of health issues the last like year plus. 507 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,759 Speaker 3: But I mean, if he's healthy, he could give you. 508 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,079 Speaker 2: A solid one hundred and thirty innings of really solid 509 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,480 K's and ratio. So yeah, I Sanga looks good. I'm 510 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,880 you know, it's a little bit early to you know, 511 00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:29,960 do uh a my a little bit of like my 512 00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:34,240 bad Maya Culpa's feels a little bit early for that. 513 00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:37,200 But Maya Culpa a little bit on code Singa because 514 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,960 he looks good and I said, don't draft him. 515 00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:43,799 Speaker 1: Well, we went through the pitchy ranking, so hopefully everybody 516 00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:45,759 who listened to the podcast listen to me and not 517 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,960 you on that one. I wasn't on Singa. That being said, 518 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,960 I also liked Rookie Sazaki, so you know, there's a 519 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,640 little bit of trade off there. Sasaki was freeing. In 520 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,680 my defense, he literally was freeing every draft Masaki. 521 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 2: Honestly, I haven't read anything and created I don't really read. 522 00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:11,920 I don't read just period stop now. I don't read 523 00:33:12,279 --> 00:33:12,799 a lot of. 524 00:33:12,759 --> 00:33:15,519 Speaker 3: Baseball content outside of my own. 525 00:33:16,039 --> 00:33:19,279 Speaker 2: So in fairness, maybe people are talking about it, but 526 00:33:19,319 --> 00:33:21,240 I'm surprised no one's all about the fact that the 527 00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,920 ball and the mound are different in the US, and 528 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,880 maybe that's what's playing into this Rokie Sazaki stuff because 529 00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:33,200 he looks awful, like he's he's on, like he got dropped. 530 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,279 I think in my fifteen team league, and I mean 531 00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:39,880 I agree, I wouldn't I went in start him in 532 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,519 and NL only right now. 533 00:33:42,039 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: No way, Yeah, you know, I think he looks like 534 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,039 a unfortunately, it looks like he just needs to go 535 00:33:49,079 --> 00:33:51,480 to the pin. He was very dominant in the pin 536 00:33:51,599 --> 00:33:54,519 last year. I don't know if if the ball is 537 00:33:54,559 --> 00:33:57,880 the mound, if it's just the pressure of being on 538 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,160 the Dodgers, I don't know what it is for society, 539 00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:04,079 but it's just not coming together. I mean he's like 540 00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:07,200 he's six'. Two it shouldn't be an. Issue Where like 541 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,119 his hands are too small for the, ball like that 542 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,559 was my first. Thought it was, like, oh the ball 543 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:15,320 is probably too small and and maybe like that's the. 544 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,239 Issue but, no like he's a he's a big, Guy 545 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,159 LIKE i don't know why why he's having the issues he's. 546 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:26,679 Speaker 2: Having you, Know, NO i, agree it may not be 547 00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:28,719 the issues THAT i. 548 00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 3: Said it could very. WELL i could very well be 549 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,480 wrong about the. 550 00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 2: Issues but there's something, Wrong like there's obviously there's like 551 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:47,519 like his his like his translation From japan to THE 552 00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:53,239 us has been new. GOOD i mean that's that's something 553 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,039 that is Not i'm not going out on a limb 554 00:34:55,119 --> 00:34:57,519 on saying, That but there has to be a, reason 555 00:34:58,039 --> 00:35:02,519 like because he was in incredibly dominant In, Japan like 556 00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:06,119 it wasn't like it was smoking mirrors over, there like 557 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,159 he was so. Good so, LIKE i don't, KNOW i, know, 558 00:35:09,159 --> 00:35:11,039 MAN i, DON'T i don't. 559 00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: KNOW i don't. EITHER i have no idea because he 560 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,960 was just as clean as humanly possible In, japan and 561 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,800 then it just is not translated over. Here let's let's 562 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,960 move on. Though let's talk about somebody who is performing, 563 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,679 well and that Is sandy Al. Contra sixteen innings this 564 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,960 year nowharn runs five to, six whip twenty one point four, 565 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,199 percent strikeout, rate two and a half percent walk. RATE 566 00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:39,440 i think we talked about it when we did the positional. 567 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,719 Previous he had a really bad first half last, year 568 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,760 much better second, half and that's that's carrying. Over he's 569 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,159 he's carrying that. Through what are your were the thoughts 570 00:35:50,199 --> 00:35:51,159 here On sandy Al? Contra? 571 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 2: Uh Another makeopa has another Make? Golpa there another one 572 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,039 of my BAD i, mean you, know we're just gonna 573 00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:06,320 go through a bunch of my. BANDS i didn't Like 574 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:13,239 sandy Al kantara BECAUSE i felt like the risk wasn't 575 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,079 like the reward wasn't worth the risk because of, like 576 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,519 the ks are never really that, good AND i, figured 577 00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:23,519 like you, know it wasn't worth and and the. 578 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 3: Wins probably weren't gonna be good. 579 00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 2: Because of The, Marlin SO i didn't think it was 580 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,360 worth getting in at the. 581 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 3: Price but, yeah he looks. 582 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 2: GREAT i you, KNOW i ACTUALLY i think after his 583 00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:39,400 complete game, SHUTOUT i rowed up a post on him saying, that, 584 00:36:39,559 --> 00:36:42,000 like you, KNOW i think it's a little early to 585 00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:47,639 be taking back preseason, takes but, YEAH i would take 586 00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:48,880 back that. ONE i think. 587 00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:50,599 Speaker 3: He looks. 588 00:36:50,639 --> 00:36:55,599 Speaker 2: GOOD i, mean he, DOES i would, say you, KNOW 589 00:36:56,639 --> 00:37:00,320 i mean there is like you, KNOW i STILL i 590 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,559 still think the thought of him is a little bit 591 00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:06,599 higher than him in reality because of LIKE i, mentioned 592 00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:10,800 with the wins and the cas but his ratios should 593 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,960 be great and he looks. 594 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,159 Speaker 1: Good, YEAH i. AGREE i, think like you, said the 595 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,360 name more than what he's actually going to give you 596 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,719 in a fantasy. Season but he looks good for where 597 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,440 you drafted, Him you're probably not going to get equal 598 00:37:26,559 --> 00:37:28,639 value for, him so you're just gonna hopefully enjoy this. 599 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,360 Ride that being, SAID i would absolutely ship him For Joe, 600 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,760 ryan like right now and be happy about, it BECAUSE 601 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,519 i Think Joe ryan at the end of the day 602 00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:41,159 is going to be better for our. Game they're both 603 00:37:41,199 --> 00:37:44,280 on not great, teams so not too worried about. THAT 604 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,960 i will say the pitch mix is changed up a little. 605 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,639 Bit so last year in the second, half he was 606 00:37:49,639 --> 00:37:52,119 throwing the four seamer less and throwing the curve. More 607 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,360 this year he's throwing the four seamer. Again he's basically 608 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,559 ditched the curve, ball and he's throwing the slider at 609 00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:02,599 the highest rate of his. Career SO i don't know 610 00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:05,280 if there's anything to take from, that just that he's he's, 611 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,239 mitching mixing up his. Pitches that seems quite a. Bit 612 00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:12,480 WELL i mentioned him as a comp earlier or, somebody 613 00:38:12,639 --> 00:38:14,840 would you Rather let's talk about him, now and that 614 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,280 Is Cam, schlitdler the number one pitcher on The Player 615 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,119 raider eleven and two thirds, innings no, earn a two six, 616 00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:25,840 whip a thirty nine and a half percent strikeout.

It either one could could be absolutely. Great 650 00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:45,639 siller probably has a better chance of. WINS i Think 651 00:40:45,639 --> 00:40:48,800 reagan's probably you, know he should in, theory throw more 652 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,199 innings and they're both gonna strike out a ton of. 653 00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:56,639 PEOPLE i will say on to the benefit Of cam's early, 654 00:40:56,679 --> 00:41:02,119 season he's been At San, francisco At, seattle two great picture, 655 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,000 parks on the road and The. Miners if he had, 656 00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:09,639 issues it was walks and home. Runs SO i will 657 00:41:09,679 --> 00:41:11,760 say there's a little bit he got kind of set 658 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,639 up in the right places to, start but no walks 659 00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:16,239 this year is. Great and he only had a five 660 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,039 point four percent walk right in the spring, Training so 661 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,559 if that's carried, over if the he really has figured 662 00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:25,760 out a little bit of the control and command side of. 663 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,559 Things the home run issue may not be that big 664 00:41:28,599 --> 00:41:30,559 of a deal because a lot of home runs have 665 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,199 because you can't command your pitches and they missed the wrong. 666 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,719 Areas so if he's figured that, out he may have 667 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,400 taken the next step AND i may have just undersold. Him, 668 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,840 Actually so, yeah canselor it looks. Great somebody else who 669 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,639 looks great this year Is Jose. Soriano twelve. Innings he 670 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,159 is not allowed to earn RUN eithera three, whip twenty 671 00:41:50,159 --> 00:41:52,960 four point four percent strikeout, rate thirteen point three percent walk. 672 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:58,039 Rate basketball velocities up from last. Year it's kind of 673 00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:00,960 in between twenty four and twenty twenty, five as twenty 674 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,920 twenty four it was a high. Velocity do you Like Jose? 675 00:42:04,119 --> 00:42:06,239 Soriana not. 676 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:12,800 Speaker 2: REALLY i, mean he looks like he looks fine for 677 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,159 like deeper, leagues for like back end of your pitching. 678 00:42:18,159 --> 00:42:22,599 Staff BUT i don't buy. This his numbers look fairly 679 00:42:22,639 --> 00:42:25,480 similar to when he's like a low FOUR ei a. 680 00:42:25,639 --> 00:42:29,559 Guy AND i don't trust The, Angels, YEAH i. DON'T 681 00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:30,440 i don't really Trust. 682 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: Soriana, YEAH i MEAN i Like, soriano as you, MENTIONED 683 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,400 i like him as a person that you have on 684 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,840 your roster in a fifteen team. LEAGUE i think he's 685 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,480 really valuable in that. Format but, yes and a ten 686 00:42:42,559 --> 00:42:45,760 twelve team league stream. Him enjoy the good starts here 687 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,159 in the beginning of the. Season you, know it is 688 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,519 nice to see the velocity up from last. Year so 689 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,800 that's that's definitely moving into positive. Direction it is The, angels, 690 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,519 though so you can pretty much count on probably one 691 00:42:57,559 --> 00:43:01,239 hand the number of great when opportunities he's gonna. Get, 692 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,800 Unfortunately let's move on To Bryce. Elder thirteen innings nowhere 693 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,719 and runs oh eight five twenty seven point seven percent strikeout, 694 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,519 rate four point three percent walk rate. Loss he looks. 695 00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:16,519 Good seems like he may have reworked his slider and 696 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,679 added in a cutter to use on occasion instead of 697 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,000 throwing the sinker as. Much so a little bit of 698 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,760 a pitch mix and the maybe reworking of a slider 699 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,800 and everything looks good right now On Bryce. 700 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,760 Speaker 3: Elder, yeah, no, AGREED i Think Yeah elder would be a. 701 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 2: BYE i think he has probably even picked up in 702 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,559 some of my leagues as a fab. PURCHASE i Like 703 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,679 Bryce elder a decent amount right. NOW i think you, 704 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,639 know if he can keep his, walks his command in, 705 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,679 CONTROL i think there's a chance here that he could 706 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,960 be a usable back end. STARTER i don't think we're 707 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,000 seeing a breakout of like you, know or EVEN i 708 00:43:57,039 --> 00:43:58,679 don't even know if we're going to see like what 709 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,920 he did in twenty. Three you, know maybe maybe a 710 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,239 little bit better than that, Possibly but, YEAH i MEAN i, 711 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,159 WOULD i would hope for what he did in twenty twenty, 712 00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:14,800 three and you, know maybe with more ks and expect 713 00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:17,679 uh you, KNOW i expect around. That so that's like 714 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,960 uh three seven five array with you, know maybe you'll 715 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,000 get uh just under a strikeout per inning and you, 716 00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:32,159 know not a terrible whip if he can keep controlling his, 717 00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:35,639 pitches but you, know probably more closer to uh like 718 00:44:36,039 --> 00:44:39,440 one point two Five uh so three seven five one 719 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,719 point two five eight k per. Nine that's fine for 720 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,679 like a back end, STARTER i. Think and right now 721 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,639 he looks a little bit better than. That so you, 722 00:44:48,679 --> 00:44:51,760 know hope that he stays. Better but EVEN i think 723 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,320 even if he gets, worse you could still have a 724 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:55,400 usable starter. Here. 725 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, NO i. AGREE i Like Bryce elder and we 726 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,719 talk About DIDDY a flinten is off the top of 727 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,760 a little. BIT i think the biggest obstacle right now is, 728 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,000 that you, know coming in the, season we looked at 729 00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:10,559 The brave. Rotation we're, LIKE i don't, know it looks pretty, 730 00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:15,000 Shaky and right now The braves rotation looks pretty, solid 731 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,840 at least through the first couple of weeks of the. 732 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,119 Speaker 3: Season, yeah and if they ever get Back Joey, WENTZ. 733 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 2: I, mean whoa, HELLO i uh, yeah, NO i think 734 00:45:27,679 --> 00:45:33,000 you Know flante's, Elder Rainaldo, lopez who is not on 735 00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:35,360 the podcast out, line but he looks. GOOD i Like 736 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,079 Rnaldo lopez right. NOW i snagged him in a couple of. 737 00:45:39,119 --> 00:45:42,679 Leagues i'm happy with. Him Chris sale is excellent for 738 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,199 as many innings as he can. Throw and then you 739 00:45:45,199 --> 00:45:49,000 Know Grand holmes maybe So, yeah The, braves you, know 740 00:45:49,039 --> 00:45:52,159 The braves always managed to put together a solid, Rotation 741 00:45:52,519 --> 00:45:56,400 like it feels like that is something that they are 742 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:01,159 able to. Do maybe that's confirmations and that is not 743 00:46:01,159 --> 00:46:03,280 true at, all but it feels that. Way. 744 00:46:04,199 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: Yeah and plus you know they're gonna get a few 745 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:11,000 starters back at some point in. Theory uh so this 746 00:46:11,079 --> 00:46:14,119 could be a pretty ridiculous rotation at some point this. 747 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,760 Year Randy vasquez is up next for us on the 748 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,599 outline here at twelve innings seven five e or a one, 749 00:46:20,639 --> 00:46:23,440 whip twenty three point nine percent strikeout, rate eight point 750 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:28,199 seven percent walk. Rate vila was up in spring training 751 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,679 and first. Start it dropped a little bit in the 752 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,719 last start At, boston so a little bit of you, 753 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,360 know maybe there was a spring, training you only throw 754 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,119 a few, meetings and maybe it's a little, harder But 755 00:46:40,119 --> 00:46:42,840 bloso's still up compared to last year a little. Bit. 756 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:44,800 Uh do you Like Randy vasquez at? 757 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,760 Speaker 3: All let me stop you right. There that's a that's 758 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:49,159 my new. 759 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,599 Speaker 2: Thing after someone is done, Talking i'm gonna start, saying 760 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:53,679 let me stop you right. 761 00:46:53,679 --> 00:46:56,599 Speaker 3: There people will be, like, WAIT i already. 762 00:46:56,599 --> 00:47:00,559 Speaker 2: Stopped. Uh, ANYWAY i don't really Like randy BAST i, 763 00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:04,840 mean it's fine for like a back end deep league, 764 00:47:05,079 --> 00:47:11,880 guy but he feels kind of similar To Jose siriano peripheral, 765 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,159 wise and you, know it's, fine but he's probably a 766 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,920 four PLUS e or a Guy Randy vasquez that. Is it's. 767 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,440 Fine i'm Not i'm not really sold on any of, 768 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:28,239 this but you, know ride him while while he's. Pitching, well, sure. 769 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: YEAH i MEAN i think he's fine mostly era the 770 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,039 whip is usually pretty, terrible so that's that's the biggest. 771 00:47:35,079 --> 00:47:38,679 Problem but, YEAH i won't have any problem with, him, 772 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,719 right you, know like you, said play him in the good. 773 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,519 Matchups i'm absolutely fine With Randy. Vasquez the strikeout raider is, 774 00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:48,760 up so if that, continues that'll be you, know that'll 775 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,159 actually make him a little bit more, worthwhile because that's 776 00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:53,199 really what's been the issue in his past is just 777 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:57,199 he just not gets. Strikeouts Strike out raiders is drastically. 778 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,760 Swinging strike rate is, up LIKE i, said velocity is 779 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,239 up little, bit so all that could be kind of 780 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,519 combining to make him at least a little bit more. 781 00:48:04,559 --> 00:48:07,639 INTERESTING i KNOW i have him in my list of 782 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,519 fab pickups for the, wrestling but also that's a very 783 00:48:11,559 --> 00:48:14,079 deep league because of it is the best ball so 784 00:48:14,119 --> 00:48:17,440 there's not a lot of starting pitchers available period in that. 785 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,440 One let's talk About Mike soroka, Here, gray he is 786 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:26,320 off to a good start to the. Season you, know 787 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,320 he has a two starts ten. Innings what are your 788 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:32,360 what are your thoughts here On Mike. 789 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:38,119 Speaker 2: Soroka let me stop you right.

Wonky With. SOROKA 801 00:49:24,159 --> 00:49:27,480 i think his velocity is, up which is super. 802 00:49:27,599 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 3: Encouraging he's now throwing a, cutter which you know everyone 803 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,079 should throw a.

Impressive as you, mentioned he's added a 820 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,440 cutter he's throwing, occasionally and he also added a curve last, 821 00:50:41,519 --> 00:50:45,599 year which is been a good weapon for. Him, so you, 822 00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:47,920 KNOW i don't know that i'd necessarily buy that he's 823 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,920 a thirty percent strikeout right, guy but, YEAH i believe 824 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,679 That mike stroke is a good.

QUITE i 853 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,880 don't think he's quite at the level Of, soroka but 854 00:52:39,039 --> 00:52:41,599 he could. Be and he looks, good SO i would 855 00:52:41,639 --> 00:52:42,280 grab him in every. 856 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: League, YEAH i feel, like you, know he's he's been 857 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,760 with a few teams, now AND i really feel, like you, 858 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,880 know the teams he's been, With, Giants boston and Up 859 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,159 brewers like they've always tried to find him a third. 860 00:52:56,159 --> 00:52:59,320 Pitch he's, fastball, curve they've tried out of the. Cutter 861 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,440 they've tried to fix his change, up which is, terrible 862 00:53:02,199 --> 00:53:03,800 AND i feel like The brewers are just, like you know, 863 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,840 what you have two, pitches just just throw your two good, 864 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,480 pitches and it seems to be working so. FAR i 865 00:53:09,519 --> 00:53:11,360 will say he has given up a home run in 866 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,119 both of his. Games he has a ninety seven point 867 00:53:14,199 --> 00:53:16,599 six percent left on bas, at two thirty eight babbitt 868 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,000 nine batti and average, against so there's definitely signs of 869 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,679 him being.

YOU i WOULD i would say 975 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,039 the same. Thing BUT i think you probably ross for 976 00:59:22,159 --> 00:59:24,840 both of them if you you, know if you're absolutely chasing, 977 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,519 saves he, Said, uh it's it's been a tough time 978 00:59:29,119 --> 00:59:31,199 throwing Out brian And brady a week after a. Week 979 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,119 somebody that also was a little bit tough h here 980 00:59:35,159 --> 00:59:37,199 in the early season Is Amelia. Pagan he had a 981 00:59:37,199 --> 00:59:40,960 couple of blow ups here on the early. Season he's 982 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,880 had a couple of WHAT i call clean, saves but 983 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,760 he's had a couple of saves since. Then do you 984 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,280 still Like pegan as the closer In? Cincinnati or would 985 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:54,079 you look At Graham ashcraft Or Tony santillion, Potentially. 986 00:59:54,079 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 5: Uh you, KNOW i THINK i Think pegan's gonna get 987 00:59:59,079 --> 01:00:03,840 every opportunity to get those, saves BUT i think he 988 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:04,920 he could. 989 01:00:05,679 --> 01:00:09,239 Speaker 2: Falter so if he, does THEN i don't. KNOW i, mean, 990 01:00:09,519 --> 01:00:13,719 Uh santillion looks. OKAY i, mean he does have a zero, 991 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,559 hoarray but he has been walking a bunch of. Guys 992 01:00:16,599 --> 01:00:22,960 but he looks, fine And ashcroft actually looks. Incredible Graham 993 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,639 ashcraft looks, LIKE i, mean he looks, amazing also walking 994 01:00:28,639 --> 01:00:30,880 a few. People BUT i mean the strikeout rates out of, 995 01:00:31,159 --> 01:00:33,920 like he looks like a Young Josh hader with his 996 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:39,360 strikeout rate almost near seventeen k per. Nine obviously it's super, 997 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:43,519 early BUT i, MEAN i, GUESS i guess What i'm 998 01:00:43,559 --> 01:00:47,079 saying is Probably, pagan assuming he can settle down a little, 999 01:00:47,079 --> 01:00:51,679 bit is probably the guy they want. There But santillion 1000 01:00:52,639 --> 01:00:57,079 Or ashcraft could, POTENTIALLY i, mean you, know stranger things 1001 01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:01,920 like If pegan blows another save or, two they may be, 1002 01:01:02,199 --> 01:01:04,880 like you know, what let's just put him. In let's 1003 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,000 put him in the seventh or eighth for you, know 1004 01:01:07,119 --> 01:01:09,960 get try and get him, right BECAUSE i mean he 1005 01:01:10,199 --> 01:01:13,920 wasn't that good before last. Year it was just last 1006 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,000 year he sort of had like he had like a career. 1007 01:01:17,159 --> 01:01:20,760 Year but prior to that he was kind of like. 1008 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:27,599 Speaker 1: Whatever, Yeah, no he absolutely. Was he was, not you, 1009 01:01:27,639 --> 01:01:31,159 know thought of as a top level. Closer we all 1010 01:01:31,199 --> 01:01:33,239 were waiting for him to lose it last year and 1011 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,599 he just held on to it all. SEASON i will 1012 01:01:36,599 --> 01:01:39,159 Say Tony sintillon had a great year last. Year Graham 1013 01:01:39,199 --> 01:01:43,079 ashcraft was was. Fine SO i think both of them 1014 01:01:43,159 --> 01:01:46,320 are in that. MIX i would probably go With cintillon 1015 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:50,800 IF i had to prioritize, one but you Said ashcraft 1016 01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:52,400 is off to a great start to the, season so 1017 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,079 they could potentially make that. Mix the only REASON i 1018 01:01:55,079 --> 01:01:59,119 Say santillon is it seems like he's Team ashcraft tends 1019 01:01:59,159 --> 01:02:01,840 to come in and, Seventh sintelling a be gone, ninth 1020 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:03,960 so at least if we're just bumping people up and 1021 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000 moving somebody, back it would seem like It's. 1022 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 3: Santillin, yeah that's uh THAT i agree with. 1023 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:13,119 Speaker 2: That ashcraft is more LIKE i feel, like probably more 1024 01:02:13,239 --> 01:02:15,639 like you're gonna get a year That brian To bray 1025 01:02:15,679 --> 01:02:20,480 you gave you every previous year and not this. Year you, 1026 01:02:20,519 --> 01:02:24,519 know like the the solid middle reliever ratio year is 1027 01:02:24,559 --> 01:02:26,239 what and solid? 1028 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,000 Speaker 1: Case, yeah like the guy we we actually want to 1029 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,920 be the, closer but they won't put him at, closer 1030 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:37,000 so we just and get the. Ratios that's, fine all, Right, 1031 01:02:37,039 --> 01:02:41,039 great let's move over to the. Athletics Mark Lighter junior 1032 01:02:41,079 --> 01:02:43,519 has been, uh he's been. Struggling he had had a 1033 01:02:43,519 --> 01:02:48,199 blown save On. Sunday you, know he's he's not been 1034 01:02:48,239 --> 01:02:51,679 the cleanest as of this. Season he. Hasn't it's not been, 1035 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,039 terrible but it's not being completely. Clean you are you 1036 01:02:55,079 --> 01:03:01,599 looking At Hogan harris Or elvis Of corado or anybody 1037 01:03:01,639 --> 01:03:04,360 else there In Sacramento? 1038 01:03:06,719 --> 01:03:10,079 Speaker 2: Pro you, KNOW i feel like probably, not to be, 1039 01:03:10,239 --> 01:03:13,679 Honest i'm not really searching for saves. THERE i feel 1040 01:03:13,679 --> 01:03:17,760 like the uh Sack town and kind of Like colorado 1041 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,880 with Like Victor, Vadnik Like i'm NOT i, mean they 1042 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,760 even if a closer. Emerges i'm kind of, like eh 1043 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,840 in shallower leagues at least like a twelve team mixed 1044 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,559 league or shallower in a fifteen. Team you do what 1045 01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:36,480 you gotta. Do but if anyone for Sack town, SPECIFICALLY 1046 01:03:36,559 --> 01:03:42,239 i would say Probably Mark Wider junior just because he's 1047 01:03:42,239 --> 01:03:45,920 the righty and he seems like the one that they're 1048 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,159 leaning on the most for ninth. Innings BUT i mean 1049 01:03:50,199 --> 01:03:53,280 he hasn't looked he hasn't looked. GREAT i mean he 1050 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:57,039 has one strikeout in three and two.

Them they're both gonna get, saved 1102 01:06:57,039 --> 01:06:58,679 so that kind of sucks that you're gonna split, them 1103 01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,599 but they're they're both solid. RELIEVERS i don't mind running 1104 01:07:02,599 --> 01:07:08,079 them out. There, really let's talk About Pittsburgh. Grade you, 1105 01:07:08,079 --> 01:07:10,880 know we obviously led the show off With. Pittsburgh let's 1106 01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:14,440 end it if they slightly more impressing, though which, is, 1107 01:07:14,599 --> 01:07:16,920 uh do you want any of their? Closers? 1108 01:07:19,559 --> 01:07:21,239 Speaker 2: YEAH i, MEAN i mean they're. 1109 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,320 Speaker 1: Good they're actually. Not it's not that they're, bad just. 1110 01:07:23,679 --> 01:07:26,559 Speaker 2: YEAH i, MEAN i you, KNOW i think THEY'RE i 1111 01:07:26,599 --> 01:07:28,440 think it might have, been, uh you, know because there's 1112 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,039 a lot there's actually a decent amount of people bidding 1113 01:07:31,079 --> 01:07:35,559 On gregory's sotoh in fab this, week AND i feel 1114 01:07:35,559 --> 01:07:38,079 like THAT'S i don't. KNOW i, MEAN i was watching 1115 01:07:38,119 --> 01:07:42,320 the game When Gregory soto came in and the and 1116 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,719 it seemed that from WHAT i could, gather they were 1117 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,559 saying that like he was coming in Because Gunner, henderson the, 1118 01:07:49,639 --> 01:07:53,760 lefty was going to be batting in the in the ninth. 1119 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,360 Inning and as, soon almost as soon as they said, 1120 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,079 That Gunner henderson hit a home run off With Gregory. 1121 01:07:59,199 --> 01:08:03,559 SOTO i don't Think Gregory soto is really a. THING 1122 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:08,440 i know people now think there's a committee In. PITTSBURGH 1123 01:08:08,719 --> 01:08:12,760 i think It's Dennis santana and it just happens That 1124 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:19,359 Gregory soto was used in a save. Situation BUT i 1125 01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:22,920 don't think there's anything to it. REALLY i, MEAN i 1126 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:27,039 could be, wrong BUT i still Think Dennis santana is 1127 01:08:27,079 --> 01:08:31,399 the closer In, pittsburgh with you, know the Occasional gregorysto 1128 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:36,760 lefty heavy ninth inning for the save where you, know 1129 01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:42,399 Maybe gregorysoto gets five to seven saves And Dennis santana 1130 01:08:42,399 --> 01:08:45,600 gets the. REST i, MEAN i don't. Know i'm fine 1131 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,439 with either of them, really BUT i Think Dennis santana 1132 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,800 is probably still the. Closer, YEAH i. 1133 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,239 Speaker 1: WOULD i would agree with. That you, know it went 1134 01:08:56,319 --> 01:08:59,239 in doubt choose the righty over the, lefty especially when 1135 01:08:59,239 --> 01:09:02,680 they're both. Good So i'm with. YOU i Think Dana 1136 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,720 santana is the. GUY i don't mind bidding On gray Or. 1137 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,279 SODA i don't mind picking people picking him. UP i 1138 01:09:07,319 --> 01:09:10,279 just don't think he's necessarily the closer unless, it's you, 1139 01:09:10,279 --> 01:09:13,359 know a closer by, committee and that's that's basically what we're, 1140 01:09:13,359 --> 01:09:16,079 thinking or or you're even saying that It's santana really 1141 01:09:16,119 --> 01:09:18,520 And soto is just gonna get the occasional one. Off 1142 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,119 like he, Said Gunnar anderson was coming, up they wanted 1143 01:09:21,119 --> 01:09:24,640 to make sure they had left yut mm, hmm all, Right, 1144 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,439 grey that's gonna wrap it up for.
