seven eleven it's a razz slam.

24
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:51,519
Speaker 1: Not that there's anything wrong. Working at seven eleven.

25
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,519
Speaker 3: They have a lot of rotating meats that are are

26
00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:01,200
quite delicious in at three in the morning. So I

27
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:04,040
so I went to New York this past week for

28
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,159
tat Wars. So this is uh so, this is kind

29
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:11,560
of funny. I was telling you a little bit uh

30
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,360
before we started the pod. But I will say again

31
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:19,639
for the people lessing. So I have a long long

32
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:24,759
standing keeper league. I want to say, like twenty five years.

33
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: I've been doing it.

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: It's a NL only keeper and I've never won the

35
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,960
league ever.

36
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:35,159
Speaker 1: I literally have never won.

37
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,439
Speaker 3: I had like I had a real good, like it

38
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:41,800
looked like I had a good like three months back

39
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,840
in like oh four when Hanley Ramirez and Jose and

40
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:55,039
Jose Rays were both really good. Crazy, So it's so ridiculous.

41
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,000
I've never won this league. So anyway, one guy, one

42
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,520
guy in my league, and we'll call him Allen because

43
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:03,879
that's his that's.

44
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: His actual name. But he's really good.

45
00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: He wins the league all the time. So a couple

46
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,759
of years ago I was talking to him and he

47
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:18,680
was saying how he was writing for Baseball HQ and

48
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:22,120
I'm like, oh, that's cool, like you should write for

49
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,599
rasball and he's like, you guys don't really pay dude.

50
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,120
It's like, well, I mean.

51
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:35,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that's fair. You know, that's a fair point.

52
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:38,719
Speaker 3: So anyway, so I was like, okay, yeah, so you're

53
00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:40,639
working for you're writing for Baseball HQ.

54
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,719
Speaker 1: That's cool. So anyway, cut to a couple of years later.

55
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:48,599
Speaker 3: Now turns out that so I go to New York

56
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,800
for tow Wars and it turns out my buddy Allen,

57
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,159
who is in my long standing NL only keeper league

58
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:00,080
for the last twenty five years.

59
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: He's now in my N now only tow Wars league.

60
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:06,960
He's like ridiculous and he's good.

61
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,719
Speaker 3: It's really bad. It's like, it's not it's not fair.

62
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:12,919
To be honest, it's really not kind of fair for me.

63
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:13,840
It's not fair.

64
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: We all feel so so bad for you, Gray. You know,

65
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,680
I guess I haven't seen the results. I don't know

66
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,639
if they're out anywhere just yet. How to go Gray?

67
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,959
Did you like your team? Yeah?

68
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean not as good as Allen's team, obviously. I mean,

69
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,360
oh man, you know, actually I'm not sure people know that. Laura,

70
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:52,040
who writes for Rasball on Fridays, her her Friday Fab column. Laura,

71
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,480
she's in the league as well. She's also in the league.

72
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,199
It's like and her. Yeah, a lot of people anyway,

73
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,720
the league's really She's won a bunch of times too.

74
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:05,000
I've never won.

75
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, I don't know. I think I like

76
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:13,759
my team, uh more or less. I don't know.

77
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:17,319
Speaker 3: We'll see, We'll see what happens. I came in second

78
00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:20,439
last year, so you know, fingers crossed.

79
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: I guess.

80
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: Uh, you'll be happy to know I did come away

81
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,639
with Louis Rengeefel.

82
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: You're welcome. I hope he was a reserve picky. I

83
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,360
just I hope that you didn't. You didn't stoop the

84
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:40,040
pain in real, real.

85
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:46,079
Speaker 2: Auction money, big Bundy. I've been money for him. Yeah, yeah,

86
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:50,560
I paid money. I wanted him.

87
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: He didn't hurt you enough last year. He had to

88
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,160
you had to double down.

89
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: Okay, No, no, seriously, seriously though, on the Brewers, you

90
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,759
know he's gonna run?

91
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Is he?

92
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: Is? He great?

93
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, man.

94
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,639
Speaker 3: So anyway, So the other big topic in the baseball world,

95
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,560
because uh, you know, it's free we're free wheel, it's early,

96
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:21,000
it's early podcasting time. It's before the season starts, so

97
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:25,519
we're doing a little improvisation. So the other big story

98
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,319
is the World Baseball Classic.

99
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: Have you been watching us? I've been watching it where

100
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:33,759
I can, yet it's been Yeah, I haven't watched any

101
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:33,959
of it.

102
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: I mean I've seen highlights, right, I've seen like, I've

103
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,319
seen clips. I saw Mark de Rosa doesn't know the

104
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:48,680
rules of baseball. I saw, I saw a couple. I mean,

105
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,800
I've seen some of the stuff, but I yeah. And

106
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,600
then you see stuff like Aaron Judge talking about how

107
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,319
like it's better.

108
00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: Than the World Series.

109
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: It's like, well, why are we playing one hundred and

110
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,160
sixty two games?

111
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,319
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know, would you, Aaron Judge? You wouldn't know.

112
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean you wouldn't know about winning it,

113
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,000
I guess, but he was in one. So it's a

114
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,680
little disconcerting when guys are like, this is better than

115
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,519
the World Series. It's like, if this is better than

116
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,279
the World Series, then maybe we should start thinking about

117
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:27,000
how to make the baseball season better, because like it's

118
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,079
you know, I mean, I appreciate a good tournament, but

119
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:34,120
it is like a totally made up tournament that just

120
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,959
like you know, to sell tickets. I mean it's like,

121
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,800
I mean it's all made up, and technically baseball in

122
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,519
general is made up, but I mean this is really

123
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,000
like just I mean, like the Italian team, for instance,

124
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:51,160
is just like major leaguers who happen to have like

125
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,600
who happened to talk with their hands or something.

126
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:57,639
Speaker 1: It's just like it's hard to.

127
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: Tell exactly, like like I know, like in USA, I

128
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:04,759
know they didn't come over on the Mayflower, so like

129
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:07,680
how are they how are they more American than like

130
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:09,639
Vinnie Pascatino.

131
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't understand anything to do with like

132
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,600
how the teams are are like set up.

133
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:18,839
Speaker 3: But I don't know, man, I mean I'm happy people

134
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,879
are happy watching it.

135
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's like and it's good for the game.

136
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,399
That's great.

137
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: I just I can't get like super I can't get

138
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:28,800
super into it.

139
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:29,279
Speaker 1: I don't know.

140
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,519
Speaker 3: I mean I watch it for you know, if it's

141
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,720
like not like when I'm not in New York and traveling,

142
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:39,399
I would watch it, but I just haven't.

143
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I mean I feel like they're

144
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,080
definitely following like the FIFA rules for for nationality or

145
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,679
like or like the equivalent of Yahoo position eligibility for

146
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,559
nationality for for WBC. You just like, did you once

147
00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:01,639
have it? Is it somewhere in your DNA results from

148
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:05,600
any of the online things? Okay, you can go play there.

149
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: That's honestly, so, this is so, this is one hundred

150
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,919
percent true. I did one of those twenty three and

151
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:15,080
me things where they do your DNA, and it turned

152
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,919
out I was like five cousins removed from Albert Einstein.

153
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know if anyone should trust twenty three

154
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:30,360
in me. I mean, you definitely should put your data deleted. Gray.

155
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: That's that if I discredited an entire company with one sentence,

156
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,279
they yeah.

157
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: They notoriously use data, So you should, you know, as

158
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,679
a part of my real job, just saying you should

159
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,279
probably request your data to be deleted from them if

160
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,960
you've ever done a twenty three and me, including you Gray,

161
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,559
But yeah, I mean you probably play for anybody you

162
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,759
wan Gray at that point. You know, I think my

163
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,120
options may be a little more limited, But who knows,

164
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,240
you really, you really never know.

165
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,639
Speaker 3: I do. Actually, I like the fact that I like

166
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:08,399
the WBC uses Yahoo ancestry.

167
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,039
Speaker 1: That's a that's a that's a good line. I like that.

168
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk what we're talking about today. You ready, Yeah,

169
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,279
let's talk about it. And what we are talking about

170
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,279
is going to be some position battles. We're just going

171
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,440
to kind of rifle through some of the teams here.

172
00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:27,200
I don't know if every team has a position battle

173
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,759
worth talking about, but we're gonna at least get through

174
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:30,399
most of them.

175
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: Let's start in Boston. Marcel Mayer left the game due

176
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:38,240
to left knee soreness over the weekend. That kind of

177
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:41,120
opens things upgrade. That could be second base. They could

178
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,879
shift around Rafaela and he can move to second base,

179
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:48,440
and that could open space in the outfield. What are

180
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,639
your what are your thoughts here on the Boston second

181
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:56,039
base slash outfield spot here? And then they also have

182
00:10:56,159 --> 00:11:00,360
a you know, a question mark and what the rotation

183
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,039
is going to look like as well. But we'll get

184
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:06,000
that to that after we talked about the hitting side

185
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:06,960
of things.

186
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think Marcelo Mayor is probably on the

187
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,039
strong side of the platoon. I think at excuse me,

188
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:20,000
at second base. I think there's a chance.

189
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: That he is.

190
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,639
Speaker 3: Kind like he's more than just platooned out versus.

191
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: What's we called lefties.

192
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: I think there's a chance he could be like kind

193
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,679
of like, you know, either platooned out a lot or

194
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,240
just you know, even again, even against writings, that is,

195
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,559
he could be platooned out against rightings.

196
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: He might he might get some potential.

197
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:52,639
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if there's potential for him to

198
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,840
get sent down. You know, I I'm not a huge

199
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,759
Marcel Mayor fan. Obviously, I think he's probably better for

200
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,480
real baseball than he is for fantasy, which clouds my

201
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,240
judgment a little bit. But I want to be shocked

202
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,039
to see other people get looks there. You know, Christian

203
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:17,039
Campbell was like, you know, obviously the guy last year

204
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,120
and that that didn't work out. But he's not completely done.

205
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,320
He's still you know, he's still in the organization. They

206
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,639
didn't go out and get which we call it I

207
00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:31,200
KF just to have him like sit on the bench

208
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:34,480
for the entire time. You know, if he's if I

209
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,360
KF gets hot and Mayer isn't, I wouldn't be surprised

210
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,279
if I KF is in there against some righties too,

211
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,039
So it's not yeah, and you know, Raphaela can shift

212
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,960
a second too, if you know, they want to get

213
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,799
Yashida in the outfield or something. So there's a lot

214
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,919
of there's so much, uh sort of flexibility in the lineup,

215
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,639
which is good for them. I'm good for real baseball,

216
00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:04,240
not I don't think it's gonna be great for fantasy.

217
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,519
Especially when it comes to Meyer. I think he's probably

218
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,159
gonna be the odd man out on a lot more

219
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,759
days than people were expecting. If I had to say,

220
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:23,399
if someone said his over under was three ninety on

221
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,519
a bat, I'd take the under. So and and his

222
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,480
numbers aren't really that incredible to begin with. So yeah,

223
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:38,440
I'm I'm kind of really lukewarm. I'm Marcela Mayer. But unfortunately,

224
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,120
I don't really see anyone for deep leagues outside of

225
00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:43,200
like Christian Campbell.

226
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,159
Speaker 1: May maybe in an ale only.

227
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 3: There's not a ton of opportunities here for other guys.

228
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:55,960
So it's kind of like, you know, avoid or you know,

229
00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:59,320
take a flyer in a super deep league.

230
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind a flyer on Christian Campbell. Just

231
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,600
in case something happens with Mayor. As you mentioned, they

232
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,279
they could just shift some people around. Uh Isaiah kind

233
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:14,559
of Falafa could could end up playing if Mayor struggles

234
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:17,840
or is injured, And like you said, there's there's flexibility.

235
00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:22,120
Camvib Durwin can move around, Raphaella could move around. Campbell

236
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:25,320
can as well, So there's there's a number of ways

237
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,480
they can kind of put the lineup together. You know,

238
00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:31,960
I don't I don't dislike Mayor. I think he's a

239
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,840
decent late round play. But you're kind of just hoping

240
00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:39,159
that he figures it out and stays healthy, which he

241
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:43,360
hasn't really done. We haven't even seen him to say

242
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,159
he's not successful or not, because we haven't really seen him,

243
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,440
uh stay up at the major league level for a

244
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,639
consistent amount of time. So hopefully he can stay healthy

245
00:14:51,799 --> 00:14:54,320
and we can see him play this year on the

246
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,440
starting pitcher side.

247
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

248
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,639
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a lot of questions in regards

249
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:04,080
to the rotation, and the back end is kind of

250
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,559
setting itself a little bit just because they are missing

251
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,360
a few people. It looks like it's some combination of Oviedo,

252
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:18,279
Bayo early in toll, but only three of those can

253
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,759
really make it, and maybe that's maybe not even three,

254
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,279
Like who do you expect in the rotation? You know,

255
00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:30,639
obviously they're waiting on a couple of guys to come back.

256
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:33,360
I don't know if they're necessarily getting bumped either. But

257
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,759
who do you expect to make the rotation? Who's first in,

258
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:38,919
first out? What are your thoughts here on the rotation?

259
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my thoughts are probably like the opposite of

260
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Mayor when it comes to Early and Toll. I think

261
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:52,000
they're actually gonna see more innings than people are expecting, because,

262
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,519
like you know, we don't know. Abayo is absolutely in

263
00:15:55,519 --> 00:16:00,559
the rotation. Oviado will start in the rotation, but oh

264
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:04,440
VI Eighto is either gonna be ineffective, or he's gonna

265
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,440
get or he's just gonna get injured or someone else.

266
00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,960
You know, injuries happen all the time with pitchers. So

267
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:15,480
i'd be shocked if we don't see Early in Toll,

268
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:19,159
Like it could be as early. It could be early

269
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:25,799
by you know, April and or Toll. But I think

270
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,279
they're gonna get their innings. I think we're gonna see them.

271
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,720
I wouldn't be as shocked. And then also, I you know,

272
00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:34,759
if if they're smart, and you know, Red Sox are

273
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:39,200
a smart organization, I would say that they're more than

274
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,120
likely they're gonna be, like, you know, at a certain point,

275
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,080
if you have higher aspirations than just winning eighty eight

276
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:51,200
games and getting bounced from the from the wild card,

277
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:54,679
you if you really want to get a push into

278
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,360
the playoffs, and at certain point you're gonna have to

279
00:16:57,399 --> 00:17:00,799
start backing off your starters and going to a sixth man.

280
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:04,279
So at that point, early in Toll will definitely be

281
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:07,359
in the rotation, or at least one of them and

282
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,319
another another one might be a long man. But we're

283
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,640
gonna I think we're gonna see them a decent amount

284
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,359
in the majors. Like they've already, They've already been here,

285
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,440
they already look excellent. There's no reason why they need

286
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,799
to be in the miners other than the lack of room.

287
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,759
So in most deeper leagues I would be stashing early

288
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:28,799
in Toll right now.

289
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't hate that call, Gray. I do think

290
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:36,839
they get in the rotation. And even I know you

291
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,400
say Beyo is locked in the rotation, obviously after last

292
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,799
year he is. You know, he was definitely a little

293
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,160
lucky last year. I don't know that. I I mean,

294
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,599
I I don't know. I do know. I don't trust

295
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,799
the numbers that he gave last year, So I think

296
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:56,160
there's even some play there with Beyo that he can

297
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,640
be kind of in and out of the rotation. If

298
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,119
he doesn't hold up, he's off to a bad spring.

299
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,799
But you know, at spring training there's different things people

300
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:05,200
are working on. It's not that big a deal to

301
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,880
be struggling in spring training, but if that carries over,

302
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,000
then you know that that can open up different options.

303
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:14,680
Like you said, I do like Early and Toll. Do

304
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,960
you have a preference on which one you'd like to

305
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,039
take the shot on? I feel like the early consensus

306
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,079
was Early, but I feel like now it's kind of

307
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,920
moving more towards Toll. What are your thoughts. I'd probably

308
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:36,000
say Toll just because I think he's uh if I

309
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:40,759
remember correctly. No, they're actually no, it's not sure. They're

310
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:43,880
basically the same age. Yeah, I think Toll.

311
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,799
Speaker 3: Feels like the first guy just has like, you know, uh,

312
00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:55,119
I think a hair's a hair more ready, But Early

313
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,720
he's got a little bit more upside.

314
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: So i'd say Toll first, Early batter, but it could

315
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,160
go either way.

316
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,279
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's like with pitching, it's like

317
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:10,359
if a guy if like early, uh, is you know,

318
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,039
if like o vi Aedo is is injured and his

319
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:17,160
rotation slot comes up at the same time as Earlies,

320
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,920
then Early is up first. And if Tolls is at

321
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,559
the same time as Oviedo, then and then Tolls coming

322
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:24,680
up first. So it's like, I don't I don't know

323
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,599
if there's really like a definite set. I would guess

324
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,799
Toll first, but it could be either of them.

325
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they brought them both up for a

326
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:37,480
you know, a little bit last year, so I think

327
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,799
either one could be called up. I guess I feel

328
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:45,759
like it was. It was Condily. It was really kind

329
00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:49,559
of getting hype early in the preseason. I feel like

330
00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:51,640
Tolls kind of taking that over. So it could go

331
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,559
either way. Like you said, I would, I would say Toll,

332
00:19:54,599 --> 00:19:57,880
I'm with you. But like he said, he could happen

333
00:19:58,079 --> 00:20:02,920
just injuries and where ends up with the rotation. Moving

334
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,960
over to Pittsburgh, let's talk about the shortstop. Obviously, we

335
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,160
all want to see Connor Griffin. Do you think we

336
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,400
are going to see him gray? There's been you know,

337
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:16,440
a Pittsburgh writer put him on the opening day roster.

338
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,920
That doesn't necessarily mean anything because it's not backed by

339
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,240
the team. In any way, shape or form. Put your

340
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,039
thoughts here on Connor Griffin, and I mean we all

341
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,039
know he's not you know, Nicko and Zala is not

342
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,519
better than Connor Griffin. Wait wait, wait what hold on?

343
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:38,480
Nickod Tealas looks amazing. I uh yeah, I wonder why

344
00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:40,799
uh the Pittsburgh writer did it?

345
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: If it was like a sort of like I I

346
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,440
just hate I.

347
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,559
Speaker 1: Hate a middle finger towards the organization just like right.

348
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: I mean it feels like it feels like, oh yeah,

349
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,720
screw you. I'm just gonna do it because I hate

350
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,759
the team right for I mean, I don't know, man,

351
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:09,200
if he's got or she has got information that I'm

352
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,720
not privy to, then I don't know, maybe Connor Griffin

353
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:17,000
will break. I would be shocked, though, I honestly would

354
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,359
be really shocked if Connor Griffin breaks. But also at

355
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,160
this point, I would think in every league, Connor Griffin's

356
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,119
getting drafted like as if he's gonna be up by

357
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,960
the end of April anyway, so he's it's not like,

358
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:35,000
you know, Connor Griffin is gonna break and then suddenly

359
00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:38,160
people are gonna run to the waivers and pick him

360
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,119
up like he's rostered in every league, So you know,

361
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:45,799
I don't think it really matters necessarily. Maybe you know,

362
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,599
some people obviously got some good deals in drafts if

363
00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,680
they drafted them at this point because they probably because

364
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,079
he's probably gonna get inflated if he actually does break camp.

365
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think he's breaking camp. I don't know.

366
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,599
Speaker 3: I'd be shocked if he does. But I mean we

367
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,079
went over this with a couple in a podcast or

368
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,960
two ago. I just don't see it.

369
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see it with Pittsburgh either, unfortunately. And

370
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,640
you know, even though he get it's four home runs,

371
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,400
he's hitting two twelve right now in spring training. You know,

372
00:22:17,559 --> 00:22:20,359
it's all spring training, it's all limited sample. But this

373
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,160
is what the team's gonna say. You know, here's sitting down,

374
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,279
he's not hitting average right now, let's sit down, let's

375
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:29,920
work on his defense, et cetera, et cetera. That's gonna

376
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,440
go Nickensaal is sitting five hundred. They'll be like, oh,

377
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:35,920
Nickensald's is gonna be our guy. So that's that's the

378
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,680
way it goes. Also in Pittsburgh, it does feel like

379
00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:42,640
right field is kind of open four grabs and just

380
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,039
kind of in third, three, third, fourth, outfield in general

381
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:50,440
is open. Who's your favorite out of that grouping there

382
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,400
of like Ryan o'hurd and Jake Mingam Post Nixon Garcia

383
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,759
is still there. Who do you like to take over

384
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:01,519
that outfield spot. You think they're gonna get, you know,

385
00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:05,599
a full time job or is this just a rotational place.

386
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: Host Nixon Garcia was like he was a guy who

387
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,200
when he got originally traded to the to the Pirates,

388
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,839
I was like, Oh, that's exciting, Like that's something that's

389
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,319
fun for the pirates, Like that's good for fantasy, it's

390
00:23:20,319 --> 00:23:23,440
good for the pirates. And then they went out and

391
00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:26,559
for the first time ever they actually signed guys. So

392
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,119
in the same sort of with Maghum, I was kind

393
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,119
of excited for Magum, but like Ryan O'Hearn was signed,

394
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,680
he's not going to the bench, Marcelo Zuna was signed,

395
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,200
He's not going to the bench. I mean, maybe Spencer

396
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:48,799
Horwitz goes to the bench, O'Hearn place first, and Garcia

397
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,319
or Magum go into right field.

398
00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:56,599
Speaker 1: I mean maybe, I mean that could happen. It's gonna happen,

399
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,359
at least.

400
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:01,759
Speaker 3: I would assume vers lefties if nothing else, But I

401
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,240
just I don't see the abbatch yet for Garcia.

402
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: And maghum, So yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't

403
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:11,279
love it either. I feel like that's how it's going.

404
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:13,079
It's not that I hate Ryan O'Har and I just

405
00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:15,799
it seemed like there was a little bit of opportunity

406
00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:19,119
for Ingham to kind of take a role and see

407
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,599
what he could do. Even even once they got o'hear

408
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,640
and it's like, oh, you know, maybe he's got a

409
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,640
DH and then got Azuna. I will say there's a

410
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,240
non zero chance of Zuna's absolutely cooked and just gets

411
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,200
DFA by May first, in which case that could open

412
00:24:35,319 --> 00:24:38,240
up a spot. But to open the season with you,

413
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,200
they brought in on her and it feels like he's

414
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,839
playing and probably hitting in a decent place in that lineup. Honestly,

415
00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:48,920
not a bad late round outfielder at all. Yeah, No, totally.

416
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: I Actually I was surprised that, like Marcello Zuna, I

417
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:59,440
thought everyone was under the same assumption that he was cooked.

418
00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: That's what I thought.

419
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: I was like, I was kind of surprised that the uh,

420
00:25:05,079 --> 00:25:09,519
the watch we called that the the Pirates signed him,

421
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,200
and then the uh and then like this weekend at

422
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:18,079
uh tow wars uh Osuna, what do you do? I

423
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,359
feel like, let me say, uh, oh, this is the

424
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,200
wrong sheet hold on h Arsuna went for I guess

425
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:28,279
that's not bad, but it's still kind of I don't know,

426
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,920
it feels high. He went for fourteen in twelve team

427
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,920
and no, only it feels a little high. I don't know,

428
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,440
maybe it's not, but.

429
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't.

430
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: I feel like Ozuna is like it's like for Ozuna

431
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:49,759
and Cassileanos are cooked vets. Bryce Harper's headed down that road,

432
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:51,440
but he's nowhere close.

433
00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: To them obviously.

434
00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 3: I mean he's he's still got he's still got a

435
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,720
couple of years before he's there totally. But I thought

436
00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:01,119
everyone assumed Ozuna is completely cooked.

437
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it's kind of the uh you know,

438
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,079
every season you get a few veterans that kind of

439
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,680
just come back from from nothing ness, you know, the zombinos.

440
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,359
You know, last year George Springer, we all thought he

441
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,799
was dead and then he was. He was amazing, And

442
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,279
he's going drafted well before I want him this year

443
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,759
yet after last year, so I feel like it just

444
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,400
they'll make a case and be like, oh well, maybe

445
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,440
there this is this year's Springer, and look, it could happen.

446
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:37,359
He's he's thirty five, he's not forty, So I mean

447
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,400
it's not out of the realm possibility, like he's been

448
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,599
trending down for like three years in a row. It

449
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,599
just doesn't seem like it's it's really gonna happen. Later on, Flyer,

450
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,200
you can take it. You're gonna know pretty quick.

451
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 3: I feel like, so yeah, no, totally. Ill also say this, like,

452
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,559
were you wearing glasses? You sound so much smarter. I

453
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,559
feel like I'm agree with everything you say.

454
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,759
Speaker 1: You're like reading my mind. Are those reading mind classes?

455
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:09,319
They actually? Uh, just look into your computer and I

456
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,759
can see everything you've ever looked at. So I'm really

457
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:17,240
just going back on everything that you have. Gray also

458
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:25,000
clear browsing history for everybody. Don't look at that. So

459
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,039
let's move on to something else you maybe not want

460
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:32,200
to look at. That is the Arizona outfield. Gray. You know,

461
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,880
I don't really even know who's going to start here.

462
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,319
I feel like Jordan Lawler should have a spot, but

463
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,640
really Jordan Lawler.

464
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:47,319
Speaker 3: Why It's like I feel like with Jordan Lawler, he

465
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:53,559
can have a twenty five Homer forty Steel two eighty

466
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,599
season and be a top ten overall player, or he

467
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,839
could be out of baseball and selling real estate with

468
00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:03,720
Alex Kierloff by May.

469
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: There's like there's very little in between with Jordan Lawler.

470
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know, he's either selling real estate

471
00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:13,839
or he's gonna be incredible.

472
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: That's all. Yeah, I mean I'm in on.

473
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,799
Speaker 3: Lawler for the price, but yeah, I mean just he

474
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,839
has been hitting in the spring for whatever that's worth.

475
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:34,440
But I I mean I'll be I'll be, honestly, I'll

476
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,720
be pretty shocked. I'm leaning towards real estate with Alex

477
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:41,720
Kierloff more than I am twenty forty.

478
00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.

479
00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know, man, Jordan Lawler couldn't get

480
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,319
the opportunity though, I don't know. It's gonna be tough.

481
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:57,279
I feel like it's him, Alex Thomas, and then a

482
00:28:57,319 --> 00:28:59,799
bunch of guys that you're just like, man, I don't know.

483
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if Banning.

484
00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 3: Lawlor, Bryan Wals Walshmid eventually will come up at some

485
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:08,160
point soon.

486
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:11,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we've talked about him already. We don't have

487
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,720
to dive into him. I would say Lawler's going around

488
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,519
two sixty. I don't mind the upside shot. Like you said,

489
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:21,960
it's it's either gonna be something that's definitely gonna out

490
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,759
earn that or drop a ball in a month or

491
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,480
less potentially, So I really don't hate that. Like he's

492
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:35,440
going around like Carlos Korea and Brendan Donovan Andrew Vaughn,

493
00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:38,160
like I don't. I don't have upside shots for any

494
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,000
of those guys.

495
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,759
Speaker 3: I take back my comment about your glasses. You're saying

496
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,960
Brandon Donovan and his twelve homers, three steals, two sixty

497
00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:52,920
five average doesn't move it for you. It's out what

498
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,839
you're saying. Come on, remember earlier. I feel like earlier

499
00:29:57,839 --> 00:29:58,000
in the.

500
00:29:58,039 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: Draft season, he was going like crazy or for some reason,

501
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:04,160
and that just I could not could not wrap my

502
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,160
head around. In good disease is back where he belongs,

503
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:10,640
in the bottom of the of the two hundred somewhere.

504
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:14,960
The closer in Arizona is another position. I feel like

505
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,680
we need to talk about. We've we've gone through some

506
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:21,119
of these bullpens before, but as we continue to get news,

507
00:30:21,759 --> 00:30:23,960
we can kind of talk about them real quick. Any

508
00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:27,480
new things you want to say about the Arizona bullpen.

509
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm guessing it's gonna be Ginkle or SeaWorld,

510
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:43,440
and I feel like I'm leaning, like every day I lean.

511
00:30:43,359 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: A different direction.

512
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 3: I'm saying, maybe maybe Ginkle is the way I'm leaning

513
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,480
for the the better chance of the two.

514
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: But I you know, I can't. I can't. I have

515
00:30:56,079 --> 00:30:59,039
no faith in that at all. I honestly I feel

516
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:00,880
like I don't know.

517
00:31:01,119 --> 00:31:04,559
Speaker 3: I mean, late in drafts, I've even been taking a

518
00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:08,799
flyer on Ryan Thompson because I feel like he could

519
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:12,160
even get saves and he's going like three hundred picks

520
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,960
after Gink one Seawald and they're already going late.

521
00:31:16,599 --> 00:31:19,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody wants any part of this bullpen. And this

522
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,759
is this is kind of why I think it's Seawold.

523
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,119
Just I feel like he's the veteran. He's had closing experience,

524
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,680
although Gingle did to last year. Gingkle was absolutely horrendous

525
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:35,920
last year as well, So I just I don't even

526
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,839
want to take the shot on him. At least Sewold is,

527
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:47,440
you know, only gonna be mildly terrible. So That's where

528
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,559
I'm going, And for what it's worth, his numbers this

529
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,880
spring are better than Ginkle's. But it's you know, we're

530
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,319
talking about four or five innings. It's not a big,

531
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,039
big grouping here. We will see. But I think I

532
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:02,079
I'm going to well, it sounds like you're going Ginkle,

533
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,640
but he said that can change on daily basis. I don't.

534
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,400
I don't hit the Thompson call. And really you can

535
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,160
go down this bullpen and kind of just grab anybody

536
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,400
who's gonna look even decent. I think even like if

537
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:20,640
Jonathan Elizaga, which is I Dame, we haven't talked about

538
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,880
in probably a couple of years, you know, if he

539
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,720
gets it to come back together, even he could be

540
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:28,000
interesting in this bullpen potentially.

541
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 3: So it's really like for him like he was like

542
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:38,559
John Jonathan Losaiga was Johnny Lasagna when he was in

543
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,559
New York and now he's in Arizona. And it's like

544
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,920
I think of Goodfellas when Henry Hill moved to the

545
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,920
desert and they were putting ketchup on the egg noodles.

546
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: Come out, grab his paper, give it, give him away. Yeah,

547
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:01,759
just not as good. Yeah, that's it's completely fair. Let's

548
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,839
let's go down to Atlanta, Gray with the direction Profar suspension,

549
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,039
he's out for the season, who takes over for him

550
00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:13,880
at d H and just general outfield and kind of

551
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,720
who's gonna play here for Atlanta. I feel like they're

552
00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:21,400
really set on Profar having this this role and now

553
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,680
I'm not sure what are your thoughts great.

554
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:30,839
Speaker 3: They yeah, I mean the Braves have three well, I

555
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,680
mean Hasan Kim is gonna return at some point in theory,

556
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,200
Sean Murphy is gonna return at some.

557
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,079
Speaker 1: Point in theory, but Profar is not.

558
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: Returning, So I don't I don't know what they're playing

559
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:47,640
is really for this spot. Like right now, in Roster

560
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,799
Resource they have Dom Smith. Dominic Smith is the d

561
00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:55,640
H for the Braves, which is just like, come on, man,

562
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,119
I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm not saying uh

563
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:03,400
this in regards to Jason, who runs a roster Resource.

564
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,440
I'm talking about the Braves actually playing Dom Smith like,

565
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,480
I mean, maybe he is in the lead for the job,

566
00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:16,639
but come on, get like, get someone else in there.

567
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: If you're the Braves. I mean, God, that's just that's bad.

568
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:22,679
You know.

569
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 3: I feel like there's certain red flags when you look

570
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,280
at a lineup and you're like, oh, you know, they

571
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,760
have Dom Smith in a lineup like that's a red

572
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,800
flag where I'm like, oh, so.

573
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: Are they not trying? Is that what's going on here?

574
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:36,360
Because it does?

575
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, what is that Dom Smith? I don't know, man,

576
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:50,159
I it's bad. I don't think they really have anyone

577
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:55,000
better though, either, Like Eli White sounds like he's gonna

578
00:34:55,039 --> 00:34:58,280
do my taxes. I'm not really interested in that.

579
00:34:59,679 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: I have.

580
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: I'm the guy for my taxes, thank you very much,

581
00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:07,840
Brett Wisely what it's just so bad.

582
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

583
00:35:09,039 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 3: This is all very bad. The Braves don't really have

584
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,400
a DH. I guess, if anything, I would go for

585
00:35:17,559 --> 00:35:19,239
Jorge Mateo.

586
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: If I was in a deep league, it would be.

587
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: Jorge Mateo is the person I would go for because

588
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,000
at least he has speed. So maybe the Braves put

589
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:36,239
Yastremsky at DH and Matteo like somehow plays the outfield

590
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,599
so you know, or get some or Dubond plays the

591
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,920
outfield and Mateo plays short. I don't know, however, they

592
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,840
want to work it out. Matteo would be the one

593
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,480
guy who is somewhat interesting to me for fantasy.

594
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: The rest of.

595
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,159
Speaker 3: These guys, like Dom Smith's tough to even roster in

596
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,960
anenna only honestly, even like if he gets the bats

597
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,280
and okay, you're runs in RBI's and I guess average

598
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,000
to a certain extent, but really painful.

599
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's that's really all. He would be

600
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:16,840
Eli White as middling everything, just the most boring profile ever.

601
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,280
So yeah, I'm with you, but Toayo would be somewhat

602
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,679
interesting if he gets some playing time. Do Smith average

603
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:26,599
runs arby eyes and even that's he's gonna hit the

604
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:28,159
bottom of the order. So it's not like he's gonna

605
00:36:28,199 --> 00:36:31,840
do that for you either. You know, I was gonna

606
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,559
ask you about the rotation, but they've had so many injuries,

607
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:38,159
I feel like it's pretty set now. Any any thoughts

608
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:41,239
on the rotation. Do you like the back into the

609
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,920
rotation here at all? As any late round flyers and

610
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Raynaldo Lopez, Grant Holmes and Bryce Elder.

611
00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:52,679
Speaker 3: Uh Actually I drafted Raynaldo Lopez in that towt Wars league,

612
00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:57,039
the NL only league we were talking about earlier. Grand Holmes.

613
00:36:57,199 --> 00:37:00,239
I looked at all these guys. Grand Holmes looked kind

614
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,039
of interesting. But I also think like he's excelling right

615
00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:06,280
now in spring training as of the recording of this.

616
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,320
But it feels like he's not facing the best hitters,

617
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,039
and it doesn't look real necessarily, like his velocity was

618
00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:18,039
a little bit down. And Bryce Elder I don't trust

619
00:37:18,119 --> 00:37:18,480
at all.

620
00:37:18,679 --> 00:37:24,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, so yeah, I think that's exactly what I

621
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:29,239
would have said, Adam, Bryce Elder, Great Holmes is mildly interesting.

622
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:34,320
And then you know Raynaldo is He's always been solid

623
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:39,800
when he's healthy. He's just never ever, ever, ever healthy. Yeah,

624
00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:42,559
he has, he has. Maybe him and the Graum have

625
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,800
a good innings competition over the last decade or so.

626
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,079
That'd be a good one to chase down. The Cub's

627
00:37:49,159 --> 00:37:54,119
great the coveies the right field, say Suzuki left the

628
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,360
WC with right need discomfort If he's missing any time,

629
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,519
are you interested in anybody kind of taking over right

630
00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:06,119
field slash d h as the Cups kind of have outfielders,

631
00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:07,760
they may shift around.

632
00:38:08,519 --> 00:38:12,639
Speaker 3: We saw the we saw the one Saya Suzuki one

633
00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:14,639
hundred and fifty game season last year.

634
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,679
Speaker 1: Huh. That's that's really that's gonna be it, isn't it. Unfortunately,

635
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,119
that may be accurate.

636
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,039
Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think Matt Shaw was left

637
00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:28,239
for dead in most leagues. I think he's gonna end

638
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,039
up being more valuable than people anticipate.

639
00:38:31,199 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna.

640
00:38:33,199 --> 00:38:37,599
Speaker 3: Get at bats against a lot of pitchers. Like they

641
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:40,719
have to rest guys like you know.

642
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: Bragman.

643
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 3: Bush, you know, Mois's, Bellastero's like guys will be rested,

644
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,519
and then on top of that the wee injuries will happen.

645
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,360
So I yeah, I mean, I you know, I'm not

646
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,719
as high on Matt Shaw as I was obviously when

647
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,440
he had a starting job, But I think Matt Shaw's

648
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,360
gonna get at bats, says Azuki. As far as his

649
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,639
injury goes, I don't know. As of the recording of this,

650
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,519
I have no idea. It sounds like his knee is

651
00:39:12,519 --> 00:39:15,800
a little bagged up. He might be okay. Still, he

652
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,199
still has what like a week and a half, two

653
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,039
weeks he'll be he should be okay.

654
00:39:20,039 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it doesn't sound like it's serious, but

655
00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:28,320
nothing really confirmed has come out, so I agree. I

656
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,840
think it's Matt Shaw. If you're really digging, you know,

657
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:37,920
you could you can look at Confordo. There's a there

658
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,440
was once promise. I don't I don't know so much anymore.

659
00:39:41,519 --> 00:39:45,360
But he's he could get some some of the bats

660
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,760
there just as a platoon guy potentially Over in New York,

661
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:54,280
they also have an outfield. It's kind of up for grabs,

662
00:39:54,599 --> 00:39:56,320
you know. I think most people would like to see

663
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,519
Carson Binge get that spot, but not share if they're

664
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:03,800
going to give it to the prospect right off did

665
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,079
jump here on opening day? Are you do you have

666
00:40:08,159 --> 00:40:10,079
a thought on who does get the job? And are

667
00:40:10,119 --> 00:40:12,360
you interested in anybody there? Uh?

668
00:40:12,679 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I was actually because I went out

669
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,880
to dinner with I went out to dinner with two

670
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,320
Mets fans on Saturday in New York.

671
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: Alan being one of them.

672
00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: Uh, and we were talking about Bench because I was

673
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,519
like saying, how you know, I'm surprised at how little

674
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,159
excitement people have for him in redrafts this year when

675
00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:33,559
it seems like he's breaking camp. And I think the

676
00:40:34,159 --> 00:40:36,719
biggest takeaway for me from what they were saying was.

677
00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: The you know, at bats may not be there. So

678
00:40:40,039 --> 00:40:42,199
if the bats aren't there and.

679
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 3: He's already you know a little bit of a he's

680
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,199
a little flourish as it is, then it's it becomes

681
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,079
a little less interesting. So maybe you know that could

682
00:40:51,079 --> 00:40:56,039
be why the the excitement level has been pretty muted

683
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:01,039
for Carson Bench. I know, Tyrone Taylor does have a

684
00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:04,159
good glove, so he ends up getting more at bats

685
00:41:04,199 --> 00:41:08,000
than anyone would ever expect because they like his defense.

686
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,280
I think I'm I'm still okay with the flyer on

687
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,800
benj but I do have, you know, a little bit

688
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,199
of a little bit of question marks because it is

689
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:24,840
it is a little weird that we're like ten days

690
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,519
away from the season and no one has been like, yeah,

691
00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:33,159
he's definitely the starting outfielder, starting right fielder for us,

692
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:36,719
Like no one said that, So like why, Like what's

693
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:37,199
going on?

694
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,039
Speaker 1: You know? So I don't know. Yeah, it does feel

695
00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:45,360
a little bit weird. We don't have more information, you know.

696
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,800
I feel like they're I'm with you. I thought there'd

697
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,719
be more about Carson Bane. I feel like his I

698
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,320
thought his ADP would kind of rise a little bit

699
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,559
as we got closer and closer and he was still

700
00:41:58,639 --> 00:42:01,920
up in the majors. Like you said, Tyrol, Taylor's gonna

701
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,960
get some playing time, but it feels like it's Carson

702
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,719
Binge's job to lose at this point, unless they're just gonna,

703
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,400
you know, give him the three weeks down to get

704
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,039
the service time move. Because we're just being honest. He's

705
00:42:15,079 --> 00:42:17,840
probably not a huge candidate for Rookie of the Year.

706
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,199
I say that he will just run away with it

707
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,039
because that's what I said. But you know, he's not

708
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:27,320
the odds on favor. That's that's pretty that's pretty easy

709
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:32,800
to say. So I like him, but it's there's probably

710
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,880
other prospects you can take your your shot on van

711
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,559
him and in a shallower league. Moving over to Detroit,

712
00:42:41,679 --> 00:42:46,760
they have a d H slash shortstop question mark. Does

713
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:51,320
Kevin McGonagall break camp? Do they hand it to Zach McKinstry.

714
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,719
Hobby Biz is still there, Matt Berlin sitting around. They

715
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,239
have all sorts of guys who can kind of move

716
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,800
around and play different positions. But I don't know if

717
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,079
we know what positions they're gonna play, And maybe that

718
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:10,239
all starts with later McGonagall breaks camp. Yeah, I mean.

719
00:43:10,519 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: You know, I'm I'm hoping he does McGonagall. That is,

720
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,760
I hope, I hope he breaks camp. I'm pretty excited

721
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:18,239
about him.

722
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,559
Speaker 1: I you know, I think.

723
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 3: We talked about McGonagall and Connor Griffin in depth. A

724
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,480
couple of weeks ago, so people can go listen to that,

725
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:32,559
But I I'm really like McGonagall to me, looks like

726
00:43:33,519 --> 00:43:37,679
he could be a Rookie of the year lead off

727
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,079
guy for the Tigers, like from the jump, from from

728
00:43:41,199 --> 00:43:44,840
opening day, So I would be at this point I

729
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,079
would be kind of surprised if he if they don't

730
00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:52,000
start him opening day. I feel like they're leaning that

731
00:43:52,119 --> 00:43:56,320
way versus the Connor Griffin situation where they're leaning the

732
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,960
other way. So I yeah, I like McGonagall a lot.

733
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,440
Those other guys are a little bit less interesting. Mckinstree

734
00:44:04,639 --> 00:44:08,280
is fine for deeper leagues because he has a ton

735
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,519
of position eligibility, but otherwise those other guys do nothing

736
00:44:12,519 --> 00:44:12,800
for me.

737
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's be honest, Gray, Pittsburgh is them leaning towards

738
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,920
not starting kind of Griffin. They're cemented blocked in. Uh,

739
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:24,400
they were never ever gonna let him get into the

740
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,880
majors off the off the jump. It's not they're not

741
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,679
leaning there. There's no leaning involved in Pittsburgh. But yeah,

742
00:44:32,679 --> 00:44:35,320
it does seem like McGonagall does have the job. What

743
00:44:35,559 --> 00:44:40,920
should in theory move McKinstry to d H slash slash

744
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,280
a utility role? And I mean, that's probably their best

745
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,559
line up if we're just being honest. Zach McKinstry had

746
00:44:48,599 --> 00:44:51,679
a very solid season last year, but he is not

747
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:57,199
a difference maker unfortunately. Let's move to our favorite place

748
00:44:57,199 --> 00:45:01,960
to talk about Gray, which is Cincinnati. Hunter green injury

749
00:45:02,039 --> 00:45:04,840
means that it seems like the who gets in the

750
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,440
rotation question is is out. It seems like Singer, Louder,

751
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,239
and Burns should all start in the rotation. Out of

752
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,960
those three, which one is the one you expect the

753
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,519
most from and who loses their job upon Hunter Green

754
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:24,079
coming back probably for the second half, maybe for the.

755
00:45:24,039 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 3: Second Yeah, yeah, I mean that's so far in the future,

756
00:45:27,079 --> 00:45:29,800
Like let's see Hunter Green actually get healthy. And also

757
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,480
by the time he's healthy, maybe someone else is injured.

758
00:45:33,599 --> 00:45:35,960
So I don't know who's gonna lose their job with that.

759
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:42,280
But Rhett Louder I think is probably a little bit underrated.

760
00:45:42,679 --> 00:45:47,400
H as likely like someone who uh you know. I

761
00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:51,039
tried to get him in tat Wars, the only league

762
00:45:51,079 --> 00:45:52,760
I drafted this week. I tried to get him. I

763
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,280
like Rhet Louder a decent amount. If he's in the

764
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,280
rotation and it looks like he is, I don't see

765
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,000
why he wouldn't be. You know, the Reds have you know,

766
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:07,639
the stadium isn't great, obviously, but they have some really

767
00:46:07,679 --> 00:46:13,719
good arms. Even Brady Singer is probably more valuable than

768
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,119
people expect for deeper leagues, not not for a twelve

769
00:46:17,199 --> 00:46:20,199
team mixed league, obviously, unless you're talking about a streamer,

770
00:46:20,559 --> 00:46:24,079
because you know, he doesn't strike out anyone. But he's

771
00:46:24,159 --> 00:46:30,440
been pretty good, you know, better than you probably expect

772
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,039
for a bit.

773
00:46:32,199 --> 00:46:32,679
Speaker 1: And then.

774
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:40,079
Speaker 3: Chase Burns is obviously incredible Chase Burns, and then there's

775
00:46:40,159 --> 00:46:44,760
Brandon Williamson, who's also not bad. I mean, it's like

776
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,280
whoever is in the uh, you know, it's.

777
00:46:48,079 --> 00:46:48,559
Speaker 1: I don't know.

778
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 3: I mean, right now, Brandon Williamson is actually, you know,

779
00:46:53,159 --> 00:46:58,400
in the lead. According to a Red's beat writer, Williamson's

780
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,440
in the lead for the fifth spot in the rotation.

781
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,719
And Chase Burns had a little bit of a hit,

782
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,840
a little bit of a hiccup.

783
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

784
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,599
Speaker 3: I mean, i'd be sure, i'd be surprised if Chase

785
00:47:10,599 --> 00:47:12,400
Burns doesn't make the rotation, but.

786
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

787
00:47:14,159 --> 00:47:17,519
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe maybe Chase Burns doesn't make the rotation

788
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,880
and it's like our first it's our first big wow,

789
00:47:21,199 --> 00:47:25,360
shocking thing because he was going. Really I liked him.

790
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,679
I mean, I wrote a sleeper post, so don't you know.

791
00:47:28,119 --> 00:47:30,679
I'm not trying to pass the buck here. I really

792
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:35,800
like Chase Burns. I'm hoping he's in the rotation and

793
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,559
Williamson is not, but I don't know. As as of

794
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,639
this afternoon, as we recorded this, there's people saying Williamson's

795
00:47:45,679 --> 00:47:49,320
making the rotation and Burns is not, So we'll see.

796
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:50,920
I like louder a lot, though.

797
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: Would you draft Chase Burns at his current ADP? He

798
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,519
is the one hundred and eighth player off the board,

799
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:02,039
one hundred and fifteen ap Would you draft him there?

800
00:48:02,119 --> 00:48:04,800
Or is that too rich for you know, what you

801
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,199
think you're getting, especially since he may not start the rotation.

802
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 3: No, you can't draft him right now at that spot.

803
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,920
You have to you have to react off of you know,

804
00:48:13,079 --> 00:48:16,400
current news, and as of right the second, he may

805
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,960
not make the rotation, so you know, you gotta bump

806
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:24,159
him back at least fifty overall spots or something like

807
00:48:24,199 --> 00:48:28,280
the two hundred overall. I mean, potentially, if it's true

808
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,960
that he may not make the rotation. I don't know,

809
00:48:31,039 --> 00:48:33,559
I have to you know, I'm just hearing about this

810
00:48:33,679 --> 00:48:38,239
literally right now as we record this. So when we

811
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,800
get off this podcast, I'll look into the news a

812
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,639
little bit better for Chase Burns, and if he really

813
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,960
is not making the rotation to start the year, probably

814
00:48:47,679 --> 00:48:53,239
becomes like a pick around like two hundred and twenty overall,

815
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:56,440
like in that range of like take a flyer on

816
00:48:56,519 --> 00:48:59,079
a guy just to see in a twelve team mixed

817
00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:00,400
league obviously.

818
00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:03,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you rather have him or just looking at

819
00:49:03,639 --> 00:49:10,199
a DP here, uh Rangers as those are very different kind.

820
00:49:10,039 --> 00:49:15,079
Speaker 3: Of Chase Birds or Ragers war Rangers Wars as of

821
00:49:15,159 --> 00:49:15,599
right now.

822
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So I mean it's gonna be in the

823
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,719
two hundred range then or after that. You know, Ranger

824
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,519
Swars is very steady, very solid. I don't I don't

825
00:49:26,519 --> 00:49:29,280
think you know, we see I'm not even gonna say

826
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,000
we don't see the upside because Rangers Warres was literally

827
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:36,559
the number one pitcher for like three quarters of the season.

828
00:49:38,039 --> 00:49:41,119
But yeah, I mean Chase Burns, if he doesn't make

829
00:49:41,119 --> 00:49:44,559
the rotation, there's gonna be a lot of people upset

830
00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:48,840
who drafted him very early.

831
00:49:48,079 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 3: Like the uh what's what's totally bizarre too, is like.

832
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: You know, if like not not bizarre, it's not the

833
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:58,360
right word.

834
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 3: But if it's like Chase Burns, there's overcreact, overcreaction, over

835
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,920
correction right now going on. If Chase Burns doesn't make

836
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,440
the rotation, then people are gonna be like, I mean,

837
00:50:10,519 --> 00:50:13,679
dig a flyer at two fifty three hundred or something.

838
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,199
But you have to you have to take at least

839
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:20,239
you know, they people are gonna overcorrect, and Chase Burns

840
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,320
could be in the rotation as early as April fifteenth

841
00:50:24,679 --> 00:50:27,599
and have exactly the same season you always thought he

842
00:50:27,639 --> 00:50:29,519
was gonna have because he wasn't gonna throw a full

843
00:50:29,559 --> 00:50:30,280
season anyway.

844
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's very true. He could still give you

845
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,519
all the innings you were gonna get, regardless of when

846
00:50:38,599 --> 00:50:41,800
he kind of starts, because he was never gonna go

847
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,599
you know, two hundred Indians, not even one hundred and

848
00:50:44,639 --> 00:50:47,159
seventy five. If he gets two, I don't know, one

849
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,480
hundred and thirty, that'd be a pretty pretty good successful

850
00:50:50,519 --> 00:50:55,199
season in probably more innings than either of us would

851
00:50:55,199 --> 00:50:56,599
even expect at that point.

852
00:50:56,599 --> 00:51:01,159
Speaker 3: Potentially, someone actually in tout wars, someone drafted Chase Burns

853
00:51:01,159 --> 00:51:05,880
for seventeen dollars. That would be more than any starter

854
00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:06,639
I'm own.

855
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: Actually, now that's not true.

856
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 3: I drafted Brandon Woodrow for eighteen, but you know someone

857
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,280
drafted them for Chase.

858
00:51:14,039 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: Burns for seventeen, so oops, not me. Yeah, I mean

859
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:23,159
it is probably I would guess that's about as much as, like,

860
00:51:23,519 --> 00:51:26,199
not the top tier, but the second tier of closers

861
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,800
was going for. So yeah, that's a that's a decent

862
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,679
amount of money to be spending on a picture you're

863
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,400
not sure you can count on to start in the rotation,

864
00:51:35,519 --> 00:51:39,559
and then also one with inniings limitations, especially in an

865
00:51:39,639 --> 00:51:45,599
you know only yep. Also in Cincinnati, the left field

866
00:51:45,679 --> 00:51:50,119
slash first base job maybe open, you know, I assume

867
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,679
it's South Stewart, That's that would be what I'm thinking.

868
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,639
But that still kind of leaves open the left field

869
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,039
or right field job wherever they're not sticking welve Marte.

870
00:52:02,159 --> 00:52:05,960
Do you like anybody there? They got like JJ Blade,

871
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:11,840
Spencer Steer, Will Benson, Dan Meyers, Garrett Hampsen's there, you know,

872
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,880
he just he finds a new team every off season.

873
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:21,639
In this list, other than Garrett Hampson, it reminds me

874
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:27,440
of that Robin Williams gift. What year is it? What

875
00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:30,960
year is this? Garrett Hampson interesting.

876
00:52:31,199 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 3: I I I'll be You know, the Reds always managed

877
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:42,800
to find value in in their outfield, and uh it's

878
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,400
never well not maybe not never, but it's hard to

879
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,920
pinpoint exactly where that value is gonna come from in

880
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,920
the preseason, Like they they have outfielders come out of nowhere.

881
00:52:54,559 --> 00:52:59,239
I'm thinking of Scott Schleiebler, I'm thinking of Ryan Ludwig.

882
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,519
I mean, they have guys that come out of nowhere.

883
00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:04,400
So I would not be shocked to see, you know,

884
00:53:04,599 --> 00:53:07,519
Spencer Steer who looks like he has no at bats

885
00:53:07,559 --> 00:53:10,239
coming his way, or Will Benson, who looks like he

886
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,320
has no at bats coming his way, if they both

887
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,920
end up being valuable, and you know, someone who we

888
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:22,199
think is gonna be valuable isn't right now all we

889
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,840
have to go. I like south Stewart and it looks

890
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,559
like he is the starter. So hopefully if you draft

891
00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:32,840
south Stewart, hopefully it works that way. But I mean,

892
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,400
Spencer Steer and Will Benson, are they feel too good

893
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,159
to be just sitting on the bench every game?

894
00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, no I agree, and I feel like they're

895
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:49,440
probably in there. Benson. Benson feels like a classic fourth outfielder,

896
00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:54,840
so maybe he just fits in here or there right now,

897
00:53:55,199 --> 00:53:58,000
you know, if we're just looking at roster resource, so

898
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,320
it has JJ but in there. That's probably because he's

899
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:07,679
a lefty. Bill Benson's off was also lefty. So I

900
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,840
agree with you that there could be somebody come out

901
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,239
of here with value. I would be lying if I

902
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,280
know who out of the group. I don't think I

903
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,199
would draft anybody other than Sal Stewart in a twelve

904
00:54:19,199 --> 00:54:22,519
team league. I think in a fifteen or obviously, you know,

905
00:54:22,599 --> 00:54:31,159
only they all become you know, worth worthwhild draft targets. Yeah, maybe, okay,

906
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:36,039
moving over to Saint Louis Alffield. I didn't know.

907
00:54:36,159 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 3: I didn't know any of the response that. Yeah, no,

908
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,199
I agree, it's okay.

909
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:44,079
Speaker 1: Oh, outfield Lawy's newbar is going to start the season

910
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:47,800
on the IL. That opens up some playing time. Our

911
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:52,079
boy Jordan Walker's there, Victor Scott is there. You know

912
00:54:52,159 --> 00:54:55,559
they got a number of guys Nelson Velaskaz, Nathan Church,

913
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:01,119
Josh Bias, Home, Jose furman U. There's a bunch of

914
00:55:01,159 --> 00:55:03,440
ways that they could go in regards to how they

915
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:08,760
handle the outfield. I'm assuming we just both are just gonna.

916
00:55:08,519 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 3: Hand it to Jordan Walker, right, yeah, I mean Jordan Walker,

917
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:19,519
Nelson Vasquez, and Victor Scott the second look they that

918
00:55:19,639 --> 00:55:23,199
seems like the outfield I would guess right now, and

919
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:28,639
then obviously Vasquez loses the job as soon as large

920
00:55:28,679 --> 00:55:32,079
new Bars ready to go, so I which, you know,

921
00:55:32,199 --> 00:55:36,119
I mean, it doesn't seem like a massive injury, So

922
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,880
I would assume new Bars ready to go relatively quickly.

923
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

924
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 3: I mean, he's doing he's doing agility drills. What else

925
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:46,639
do you want from the guy?

926
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:49,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I think.

927
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:54,559
Speaker 3: It's probably Vasquez in for new Bar, and then new

928
00:55:54,599 --> 00:55:56,360
Bar takes over for Vasquez.

929
00:55:57,159 --> 00:56:00,679
Speaker 1: Probably, Yeah, I would That's how I would guess it goes.

930
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,519
I mean, there's there's definitely a non zero chance that

931
00:56:03,639 --> 00:56:06,880
Jordan Walker just does not get it going and he

932
00:56:07,039 --> 00:56:12,960
ends up in the banchor and the miners again. But

933
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:17,440
that's that's how I would assume. Are you interested in

934
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,679
any of the outfielders here, Greg, You know, it's hard

935
00:56:20,679 --> 00:56:25,199
to get interested in the Cardinals in general. I don't know.

936
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,599
Speaker 3: I mean, Vasquez has always been a guy that's you know,

937
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,920
sort of been a lot of tool a tools player,

938
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,000
you know, and back in the day, I could have

939
00:56:35,039 --> 00:56:40,599
seen uh the uh Vasquez being a toolsy player and

940
00:56:41,519 --> 00:56:46,480
never really you know, showing the promise that his tools

941
00:56:46,519 --> 00:56:52,639
supposedly hold. I you know, I I like the fire

942
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,519
and an NL only, but I don't know. I mean,

943
00:56:55,559 --> 00:56:59,599
maybe he starts off hot, maybe he gets on mixed

944
00:56:59,679 --> 00:57:03,480
league radars, you know, the first week of the season,

945
00:57:03,559 --> 00:57:07,559
but right now I know only at the at best.

946
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, with you on the leaf Gans Jordan Walker, of

947
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,960
course I'm drafting in every league and Victor Scott. If

948
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:20,239
you need a late steels source, you can take him.

949
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,119
He may not be able to hit himself out of

950
00:57:23,119 --> 00:57:27,519
a paper bag, but that's uh, that's possibility if you

951
00:57:27,559 --> 00:57:31,760
need some steals late second base. Do you think JJ

952
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,920
Weatherholt is breaking camp or is it gonna be some

953
00:57:35,079 --> 00:57:40,239
combination of Thomas and Ramone Arias.

954
00:57:39,679 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 3: Now, weather Holds seems to be the guy. It seems

955
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:47,400
like they've it seems like they haven't said for sure yet,

956
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,239
but he seems like he is the second baseman, which

957
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,960
is you know, it's good for fantasy. Uh Sagacy I

958
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,400
think is interesting.

959
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: In and now only.

960
00:57:57,199 --> 00:58:01,159
Speaker 3: But I mean I I drafted him and tout Wars

961
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,000
in the free round. So that's like, you know, after

962
00:58:05,199 --> 00:58:08,000
a twelve team mix league, I mean, excuse me, a

963
00:58:08,039 --> 00:58:10,800
twelve team NL only, and then to get to the

964
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,320
free rounds and a guy's still available, so you can

965
00:58:13,559 --> 00:58:17,159
you can see how valuable that might be. So I

966
00:58:18,119 --> 00:58:21,199
took him into free rounds. I don't expect anything. And

967
00:58:22,519 --> 00:58:26,599
Ramon Euaeus is probably even you know, the first guy.

968
00:58:27,119 --> 00:58:29,920
He's probably the first guy in if something happens to

969
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,840
weather halt anyway, you know, even before Segacy. But Segacy's

970
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,480
a little bit more interesting, you know, for fantasy, but barely.

971
00:58:38,519 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's talk about the closer here. We've

972
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:47,079
talked about it before. But Riley O'Brien, Judjo Romero, Ryan Stanek,

973
00:58:47,199 --> 00:58:51,920
Matt's sponson in theory. It's it's Riley O'Brien. I guess,

974
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,800
but what are your thoughts here? Are you grabbing rob

975
00:58:55,320 --> 00:59:01,239
as a late round close guy or what are your thoughts? Uh?

976
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if he's available at like the end

977
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:09,760
of drafts, sure, yeah, I have no problem, you know, Sagnoff.

978
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,920
If a guy's getting saves the great I'm all about it.

979
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:17,599
I don't care if he's good or bad. But I

980
00:59:17,639 --> 00:59:21,400
don't know if these guys are gonna be good. I

981
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:25,199
would be kind of surprised. But you never know when

982
00:59:25,199 --> 00:59:32,599
a guy emerges from a preseason committee and becomes decent.

983
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,800
Like Riley O'Brien right now looks like he's in a

984
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,920
committee and it may be worthless to draft, But you

985
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:44,079
could get to middle of April and he emerges as

986
00:59:44,119 --> 00:59:47,719
a short fire closer and he ends up getting twenty

987
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,920
five saves or something like you know, or that could

988
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,039
be Jojo Ermerow. I don't know who it's gonna be.

989
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,119
It'll be one of these guys, or it'll be all

990
00:59:56,119 --> 00:59:58,800
of them. If it's all of them, then you know,

991
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,440
we'll cross that bridge when we ca come to it

992
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,159
in April. If it's all of them, then you're probably

993
01:00:03,159 --> 01:00:05,320
just gonna want to drop them. But if it's one

994
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,199
of them, then they become valuable.

995
01:00:08,039 --> 01:00:10,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would say it's Jojo Romero if they

996
01:00:10,639 --> 01:00:13,639
didn't have only one other lefty in the pen. So

997
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:17,079
I feel like it's Riley O'Brien because they really like

998
01:00:17,199 --> 01:00:21,920
Romero in that lefty slash eighth inning role. So I

999
01:00:22,199 --> 01:00:24,519
just it feels like Riley O'Brien's gonna get it to

1000
01:00:24,559 --> 01:00:28,360
start over in Cleveland. There is three rotation spots for

1001
01:00:28,559 --> 01:00:31,679
four guys. Who's the odd man out of slates of

1002
01:00:31,719 --> 01:00:35,280
Sony Logan Allen, Joey Cantillo, and Parker Messick.

1003
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:40,079
Speaker 3: You know, I keep I mean, I want to say

1004
01:00:40,639 --> 01:00:45,000
Logan Allen, but I feel like Parker Messik is the

1005
01:00:45,039 --> 01:00:47,519
guy out. I don't, I don't know, don't, I don't

1006
01:00:47,559 --> 01:00:49,880
have a strong feeling on it. I think at this

1007
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:54,360
point Messick is still draftable just in case he is

1008
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,119
the guy who breaks camp in the rotation. Cantillo's great,

1009
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:04,320
Coni's good at He's solid. So I'm I'm drafting Chiconi

1010
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,960
and Cantillo as if they are in the rotation. Logan Allen,

1011
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,519
I'm kind of like staying away from unless it's AO

1012
01:01:10,639 --> 01:01:14,360
only and then Messik you draft, I think based on

1013
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:15,920
a upside flyer.

1014
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I like pretty much what you said. I

1015
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,079
like the messic flyer. Again, I don't know that he's

1016
01:01:24,119 --> 01:01:29,440
getting a starting rotation spot, but this could also kind

1017
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,800
of end up being just like what we were talking

1018
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,440
about before, where with Chase Burns where he you know,

1019
01:01:35,519 --> 01:01:38,880
he gets called up at some point early on because

1020
01:01:39,559 --> 01:01:44,159
Logan Allen's terrible, or you know, Slade struggles, whatever whatever

1021
01:01:44,239 --> 01:01:47,159
happens to be. He could definitely still get the innings

1022
01:01:47,239 --> 01:01:50,119
that you were running out of him. So don't mind

1023
01:01:50,159 --> 01:01:54,159
that one at all. Gray, Let's talk about their second

1024
01:01:54,159 --> 01:01:57,480
base shortstop, kind of middle infield issue here. I feel

1025
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,639
like Gabriel Arias should be the he's starting shortstop. It

1026
01:02:01,679 --> 01:02:05,559
feels like he's locked in there, but maybe not. But

1027
01:02:05,639 --> 01:02:10,519
at second base, Brian Rocchio, Travis Bozana, on, Hal Martinez,

1028
01:02:10,599 --> 01:02:15,320
Juan Burrito, Daniel Schneeman, I mean, other than Mazanna, it

1029
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,440
feels like you're just gonna grab back here, and it

1030
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,760
doesn't feel like they're ready to start with Bazana yet, right, Yeah, No,

1031
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:22,679
I agree. I think that's the case.

1032
01:02:22,719 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 3: If it's a Bazana probably after the All Star break maybe,

1033
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:32,239
But no one else here is really that interesting outside

1034
01:02:32,239 --> 01:02:33,480
of like Ale only.

1035
01:02:34,639 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to a couple of outfield

1036
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,519
spots Gray, Philadelphia and Baltimore both trying to figure out

1037
01:02:40,519 --> 01:02:44,280
their outfield. In Philly, it's Justin Crawford out of camp,

1038
01:02:44,719 --> 01:02:48,960
Dylan Moore maybe pedro Leone, and then in Baltimore it

1039
01:02:49,039 --> 01:02:51,920
should be Colton Kawser, but Dylan Biavers is definitely there,

1040
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:56,760
Tyler O'Neill, Leo di Taveras, and then some you know,

1041
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,880
maybe Ryan Mountcastle find some time as well. Well, what

1042
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:02,559
are your thoughts on these two outfields?

1043
01:03:03,519 --> 01:03:03,679
Speaker 2: Uh?

1044
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 3: You know, Justin Crawford's been really puzzling to me as

1045
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,039
to how little excitement people have for him in drafts.

1046
01:03:12,079 --> 01:03:16,760
He's he seems like he's going a good fifty picks

1047
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,079
after he should be going.

1048
01:03:18,239 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Like, I love Justin Crawford.

1049
01:03:20,599 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 3: I don't think the other guys are even on the

1050
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:26,800
radar for a starting job like Otto Kemp is fine,

1051
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:31,039
but he's gonna rotate as a utility player, I think.

1052
01:03:31,119 --> 01:03:35,400
And then the Orioles I Colton Kowser. For me, it's

1053
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:40,119
Colton Kowser, and you know, then a grab bag.

1054
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1055
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:47,239
Speaker 3: You know, Tyler O'Neill probably should be a starter as

1056
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,719
long as he's healthy, but we know he's not gonna

1057
01:03:49,719 --> 01:03:53,800
stay healthy. So Colton Kowser and Tyler O'Neill are the guys.

1058
01:03:54,199 --> 01:03:56,920
Tyler O'Neil probably isn't gonna be the guy for that

1059
01:03:57,079 --> 01:04:01,239
long because he's never staying healthy. And then Dylan Beaver's

1060
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,159
should get enough at bats that he is, you know,

1061
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:09,679
somewhat valuable, just you know, maybe maybe less at bats,

1062
01:04:09,679 --> 01:04:12,280
and people were originally anticipating.

1063
01:04:14,239 --> 01:04:16,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I could see him maybe being in

1064
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:22,239
a platoon with Cowser or O'Neill. But I don't mind

1065
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,559
any of those outfielders honestly as a as a flyer

1066
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,719
or a late round outfield grab. I think they're all

1067
01:04:28,719 --> 01:04:30,519
gonna have playing time, and I think they all kind

1068
01:04:30,519 --> 01:04:34,559
of bring their own version of a little bit of upside.

1069
01:04:34,599 --> 01:04:37,320
Maybe not Tyler O'Neil upside, but you kind of know

1070
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,000
at least what you're getting. And he's gonna play, then

1071
01:04:40,079 --> 01:04:43,039
that's interesting. You know, Tyler O'Neill's gonna hit a home

1072
01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:46,079
run an opening day. You don't know, one knows he's

1073
01:04:46,079 --> 01:04:51,039
gonna play Game two. That's that's very impossible and accurate. Gray,

1074
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,719
Let's move over to the Angels, like the closer is

1075
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,079
just kind of a mess, and you know, Ben Joyce,

1076
01:04:58,159 --> 01:05:02,519
Robert Stevenson, you know, may involved eventually, but for now,

1077
01:05:03,079 --> 01:05:07,159
do you like anybody out of Kirby Gates, Drew Pomerance.

1078
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,039
Speaker 5: Or Jordan Ramato. I just have a bit of a

1079
01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:12,159
throwback at this point. I don't I don't actually like

1080
01:05:12,239 --> 01:05:15,960
any of these guys. I'll be honest, I don't. If

1081
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,360
one of them emerges, then you know exactly what I

1082
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:24,199
said earlier for the Cardinals Bullpen, I'll say for the Angels, if,

1083
01:05:24,519 --> 01:05:29,920
like if Yates or Romero or even Pomerans, if any

1084
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:34,360
of them emerge as the closer, then sure, grab them.

1085
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,199
But I don't like them.

1086
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,639
Speaker 3: Just like in general, I don't know who's closing, and

1087
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,880
I don't think any of them are really that worthwhile.

1088
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,719
So if Romero emerges, or if any of them emerged,

1089
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,400
then great, then that will be the guy to grab,

1090
01:05:51,639 --> 01:05:54,480
But we have no idea if that's the case as

1091
01:05:54,519 --> 01:05:55,119
of right now.

1092
01:05:56,519 --> 01:05:58,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I was gonna grab anybody, I think I

1093
01:05:58,679 --> 01:06:02,320
grabbed Drew Pomerance, just because it's not so much that

1094
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,960
he's he's not good. He's just never healthy. So if

1095
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,039
he's healthy, you know, I think he has a pretty

1096
01:06:08,079 --> 01:06:12,079
decent job or decent chance at getting the job. It's

1097
01:06:12,199 --> 01:06:14,679
just whether he's gonna stay healthy for long enough to

1098
01:06:14,679 --> 01:06:18,920
actually acquire that job. Over at second base, Zach Nato

1099
01:06:19,079 --> 01:06:21,679
had some X rays take and they came back negative,

1100
01:06:21,679 --> 01:06:24,159
which is good. But if he's forced to miss some time,

1101
01:06:24,199 --> 01:06:27,920
are you interested in anybody there over his role?

1102
01:06:28,039 --> 01:06:33,559
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, no no no. Pray that hashtag.

1103
01:06:34,039 --> 01:06:38,159
Pray that zach Nato is healthy. Don't you don't want

1104
01:06:38,159 --> 01:06:39,119
anyone else there?

1105
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,119
Speaker 1: Yes, we are just gonna hope and pray that zach

1106
01:06:42,199 --> 01:06:47,800
NATO's okay. Over in Miami, first base slash third base

1107
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,639
is a little bit open. There's Grand Polly, Connor Norby,

1108
01:06:50,639 --> 01:06:55,440
and Chris Barrell. I I guess that you know there's

1109
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,639
a little bit of interesting in here. But who do

1110
01:06:57,679 --> 01:06:59,159
you think gets the jobs?

1111
01:06:59,559 --> 01:07:05,159
Speaker 3: Well, Norby should get the job, and then I'm hoping

1112
01:07:06,119 --> 01:07:12,159
Grand Paullie gets the job versus Righty's excuse me?

1113
01:07:12,599 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: Uh, I hope.

1114
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 3: Grand Pauli gets the job over Griffin Conine, And then

1115
01:07:19,519 --> 01:07:23,800
I hope Conine and Morrell somehow if that becomes a

1116
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,440
platoon I want, so I want Paullie and Norby. I'm

1117
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,679
pretty sure Norby has definitely got the job. I don't

1118
01:07:31,719 --> 01:07:35,360
know about Paulie. Paulie's the biggest question mark. Now I

1119
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:39,679
say this with selfish reasons because I just drafted grand Paullie.

1120
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,880
So I want Paulie in the I want Paulie in

1121
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,000
the lineup. I think Norby is definitely in the lineup.

1122
01:07:46,599 --> 01:07:52,039
I don't feel very strongly about Griffin Conine or Christopher Morrell.

1123
01:07:52,239 --> 01:07:56,480
I think I think Morrell at best is gonna face

1124
01:07:56,559 --> 01:08:00,360
you know, I guess he's gonna face lefties. I guess

1125
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,760
he's fine first lefties for a deep league. But these

1126
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,480
guys are all really deep league except Connor. Norby, I

1127
01:08:06,519 --> 01:08:10,320
guess is mixed league guy. But most everyone else I've

1128
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,039
talked about is na only.

1129
01:08:13,519 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris marilandis to put a ball a bat on

1130
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,600
the ball for anything. I mean, he's always been very

1131
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:24,880
toold up, just can't hit. Unfortunately, it has terrible defense.

1132
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,720
Fourth outfielder there in Miami. Also for grabs, you know,

1133
01:08:29,319 --> 01:08:31,720
we're talking about fourth outfielder in Miami. But are you

1134
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:36,640
interested in Estuary Reeze, Griffin Conine, or Herberto Hernandez.

1135
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:41,560
Speaker 3: Herberto Hernandez is kind of interesting. Actually, I don't know

1136
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,920
if he's going to get the job, but he is.

1137
01:08:44,359 --> 01:08:51,399
I mean, he's got some interesting underlying numbers. I was

1138
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,079
more interested in him than I thought it would be

1139
01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:55,319
when I was doing my research this week, and.

1140
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: I Herberto Hernandez to me is the most interest.

1141
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:04,560
Speaker 3: But Ruiz if he's got any at bats at all,

1142
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,479
which I don't know if he does. If he has

1143
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:10,720
any at bats, then of course steals are good with Ruiz.

1144
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: But as to are Ruiz, I don't.

1145
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,399
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna I think he has like

1146
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,600
under seventy five at bats coming his way.

1147
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,159
Speaker 1: I don't see the abats there at all. Yeah, I

1148
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,039
don't know if he's going to get the advats, like

1149
01:09:23,079 --> 01:09:25,079
you said, If he gets him, he is interesting for

1150
01:09:25,239 --> 01:09:28,159
our game just because of the speed. He definitely has that.

1151
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,560
As of right now, he's not projected to the lineup,

1152
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,079
so he is he is strictly a flyer and know

1153
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:40,760
only Over in Milwaukee first base, I'd assume it's Andrew Vaughn.

1154
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,359
Jake Bowers is also there, and then you know, we

1155
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:49,399
can talk about their closing situation as well as their rotation.

1156
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,880
But let's start with let's start at first base. I

1157
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:56,159
mean it's probably Andrew Vaughan. Are you interested in either

1158
01:09:56,159 --> 01:09:58,239
of these guys outside of you know only.

1159
01:09:59,079 --> 01:10:03,279
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, I guess Andrew Vaughn for fifteen team Mix

1160
01:10:03,399 --> 01:10:05,920
League is fine, it's I think it's Andrew Vaughn for

1161
01:10:06,039 --> 01:10:11,159
sure as the first basement, Okay, the closer.

1162
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:15,560
Speaker 1: Trevor McGill, Avenue Rebay, Jared Kanig, I guess is in

1163
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:19,760
the mix as well. I think it's really Abner Rebay

1164
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:23,119
and Trevor McGill. Which way are you leaning this one?

1165
01:10:23,199 --> 01:10:25,119
I feel like is McGill.

1166
01:10:26,039 --> 01:10:29,359
Speaker 3: I maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like McGill is

1167
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:34,399
the closer until the end of July when your Rebay

1168
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,239
will take over because McGill gets traded for someone like

1169
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:39,039
I think McGill's the closer.

1170
01:10:40,279 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too, And as you kind of

1171
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,199
pointed out, if nothing else, it might be just for

1172
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:51,640
trade value at some point, and you know, you go

1173
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,840
with the veteran and avoid running up arbitration all that

1174
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,560
stuff on Avenue Rebay. Let's move over to the rotation

1175
01:11:00,239 --> 01:11:04,079
when Priester is out with a wrist nerve issue, Woodruff

1176
01:11:04,159 --> 01:11:08,079
has a lot, Logan, Henderson is dealing with elbow sordis

1177
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:13,119
who who has left for this rotation? Gray, I don't

1178
01:11:13,199 --> 01:11:15,840
know who their opening day starter is, and I don't

1179
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,800
know if I want they're opening day starter.

1180
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 3: If I'm being honest, uh, yeah, no, I I I

1181
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,880
tend to disagree because the Brewers always managed to field

1182
01:11:26,039 --> 01:11:29,199
a good rotation there. They are really good with pitchers.

1183
01:11:29,239 --> 01:11:33,399
I mean, they turned Quinn Priester into something decent. So

1184
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,840
I I don't care who there is in the rotation,

1185
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:41,760
but I'm excited for them, whoever they are. Chad Patrick,

1186
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:48,199
Kyle Harrison, and Brandon Sprout I think are Sprout, Sprout, Sprout.

1187
01:11:49,159 --> 01:11:52,199
I think they're all interesting for for fantasy.

1188
01:11:52,359 --> 01:11:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in on all of them.

1189
01:11:54,319 --> 01:11:58,399
Speaker 3: I think there's good value to be had if you

1190
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,760
just if you just draft brew his pictures, you could

1191
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:06,079
do worse, at least as far as recent history tells us.

1192
01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:09,479
So yeah, I'm I'm interested in all of them. I

1193
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,520
think the three I mentioned are in the rotation.

1194
01:12:14,359 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I necessarily want Sprout in

1195
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:20,000
any leagues. And he throws hard, but he's never been

1196
01:12:20,039 --> 01:12:23,760
able to command for anything. Patrick and Harrison could be interesting.

1197
01:12:24,319 --> 01:12:27,119
It's just it's crazy how the Brewers' rotation is just

1198
01:12:27,319 --> 01:12:32,000
completely falling apart before opening day. As a Cups fan,

1199
01:12:32,119 --> 01:12:33,760
I'm I don't I don't hate to see it. From

1200
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:38,720
being honest, h shortstop, do you do you think, like

1201
01:12:39,199 --> 01:12:43,279
I guess, Joey Ortiz is the guy. He's the great defensively,

1202
01:12:44,399 --> 01:12:48,159
David Hamilton is there as well. Do you think there's

1203
01:12:48,199 --> 01:12:53,520
any kind of interest here in shortstop? No, I did,

1204
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:54,319
I did, Uh.

1205
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 3: David Hamilton is a guy though I did draft in

1206
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,800
the top Wars league and I Joey Joey Ortiz is

1207
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:03,399
absolutely a starter. But David Hamilton is the type of

1208
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,279
guy who gets like one hundred and fifty at bats

1209
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:09,600
and steals twenty five plus bags.

1210
01:13:10,159 --> 01:13:13,039
Speaker 1: It's just like he's he's just that guy.

1211
01:13:13,319 --> 01:13:17,119
Speaker 3: So, I mean, in David Hamilton in an NL only league,

1212
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:22,319
it works for me, but in general, Joey Ortiz is

1213
01:13:22,359 --> 01:13:22,800
the starter.

1214
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the defense is is you know, plus

1215
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:30,119
plus with Ortiz. That's why he gets to play. Hamilton's

1216
01:13:30,159 --> 01:13:33,319
not terrible on defense, But unless they decide that they're

1217
01:13:33,319 --> 01:13:36,079
going in a different direction, I don't see them unseating

1218
01:13:36,279 --> 01:13:43,439
Ortiz either. Let's talk about the Yankees. I mean, is

1219
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,920
Jason diminge is really gonna be jobless when we start

1220
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:46,439
the season.

1221
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:52,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I think Dimingaz is another

1222
01:13:52,279 --> 01:13:56,439
one of those where I wouldn't be shocked if he

1223
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:58,840
ends up with more.

1224
01:14:00,319 --> 01:14:03,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy value than any of us are anticipating as of

1225
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:04,039
right now.

1226
01:14:04,279 --> 01:14:08,159
Speaker 3: Like we all like, I feel like I fall into

1227
01:14:08,239 --> 01:14:11,840
this trap too, Like you look at a roster resource,

1228
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:15,000
so you look at like the depth charts and you're like, okay,

1229
01:14:15,399 --> 01:14:18,039
so Domingos isn't gonna play this year, Oh well goodbye.

1230
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,680
But you you failed to think about like young Carlos

1231
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,960
Stanton is like he can't open a bag of chips.

1232
01:14:26,079 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: He's a he's a snack cart away from an ile stint.

1233
01:14:32,319 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 3: There's other guys in their lineup that will get injured.

1234
01:14:36,039 --> 01:14:38,640
I mean, I'm not a you know, I'm not a

1235
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,079
psychic here. I don't know who's gonna be the one,

1236
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,000
but at some point someone will get injured, like it's

1237
01:14:45,119 --> 01:14:50,239
it always happens. So I feel like Jason Domingez is

1238
01:14:50,319 --> 01:14:54,159
gonna end up getting you know, plenty at bats and

1239
01:14:54,319 --> 01:14:59,199
have value. With that said, I mean he's not. He's

1240
01:14:59,279 --> 01:15:01,800
not draftable on a twelve team mix league right now,

1241
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:02,600
that's for sure.

1242
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:03,359
Speaker 1: I mean he's not.

1243
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,199
Speaker 3: I mean he's a flyer in a fifteen team mix

1244
01:15:06,319 --> 01:15:10,680
league and deeper, So he doesn't right now, Jason Domingoz

1245
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,640
does not have a job. He will though at some point.

1246
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:19,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. Unfortunately, SE's a late round fifteen teamer.

1247
01:15:21,119 --> 01:15:24,239
You know, the upside is still there, just until the

1248
01:15:24,319 --> 01:15:26,119
Yankees decide to give him a job. There's not much

1249
01:15:26,119 --> 01:15:29,399
you can do about it. Washington's second base is kind

1250
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:34,840
of up for grab with Nasim Nunez, Jose Tanya. I

1251
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,159
think Lewis Garcia Junior is going to start at first base,

1252
01:15:37,239 --> 01:15:39,920
so so he's out of the second base discussion, and

1253
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,640
then a catcher, Harry Ford is making a case to

1254
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:46,960
start over. Kubert keibert Ruiz, what are your thoughts on

1255
01:15:47,079 --> 01:15:48,399
these starting jobs.

1256
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 3: I don't think I think he I think Cabert Ruiz

1257
01:15:53,039 --> 01:15:57,199
is going to be the catcher. I think Naysom Nunez

1258
01:15:57,359 --> 01:16:00,000
is the second baseman. I think he's I think he's awesome,

1259
01:16:00,079 --> 01:16:07,840
so very valuable for crazy deep leagues. I think Nunyaz

1260
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:16,680
could potentially be a cheap version of Xavier Edwards, very

1261
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:21,319
very cheap, very cheap, very very much a poor man's

1262
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:25,960
Exavier Edwards, like he could he could hit five homers

1263
01:16:26,039 --> 01:16:27,600
and steal thirty five bags.

1264
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 1: Nayson Nuniaz that is, that's that's there's value in that.

1265
01:16:32,279 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, like what kind of runs in RBI

1266
01:16:36,159 --> 01:16:37,520
is going to get because he's probably going to be

1267
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,760
at the bottom of the National's lineup, which stinks.

1268
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: But Nayson Nunaz might actually be pretty valuable for deeper leagues. Yeah,

1269
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,600
I really I've gotten Nayson Nunyaz in a couple of

1270
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:53,880
deep leagues. He could be a really sneaky, nice stolen

1271
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,479
base grab. I look carry forward too. If he gets

1272
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,800
a job. I've seen places say and he's going to

1273
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:02,760
start catcher, and then I've seen other places saying he's

1274
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,399
gonna start in the minors. So if he has the job,

1275
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,279
I really like Harry Ford and he would fly him

1276
01:17:08,359 --> 01:17:12,960
up the catcher ranks like decent bit for me. But

1277
01:17:13,159 --> 01:17:15,880
until we see that keeper Reez is always always safe.

1278
01:17:16,039 --> 01:17:18,600
He's a very safe catcher. Somebody who ends up on

1279
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,600
my team a little bit more often than he should

1280
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,920
probably San Diego first base slash d H is open.

1281
01:17:25,079 --> 01:17:28,640
They have Gavin Sheets, Dick Castianos, Ty France, Miguel and

1282
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:34,720
New Harr just the Who's Who two and twenty? Who's

1283
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:40,399
who of? Do not want? Who's who of? Who's that?

1284
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:46,399
Speaker 3: Uh So, Gavin Sheets is the first baseman and then

1285
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,439
Miguel and Horror Castilianos and ty France are gonna They're

1286
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:54,680
gonna rotate at d H and you know, probably get

1287
01:17:54,800 --> 01:18:01,039
some first base starts when they're facing lefties. So I

1288
01:18:01,119 --> 01:18:04,119
don't think any of those people are worth drafting in

1289
01:18:04,199 --> 01:18:08,199
a mixed league except for Gavin Sheets and Miguel Anduharr.

1290
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 1: And that's very late.

1291
01:18:10,319 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 3: That's like that's fifteen team mix league and late. And

1292
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:20,600
Cassianos is barely l only viable at this point, and

1293
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:23,279
ty France is the same.

1294
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:29,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed. Moving over to Houston. You know, it's an

1295
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,880
outfield issue, but with Jo's l two Bay playing outfield

1296
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,560
last year, it could be an outfield slash second base question.

1297
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:42,279
Who's who's starting there Grey like they have Joey Liprafido,

1298
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:48,279
Jake Myers, Bryce Matthew Sach Cole cam Smith Jordan could

1299
01:18:48,279 --> 01:18:52,439
play outfield at some point, Like who's who's the outfield

1300
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:53,159
there in Houston?

1301
01:18:55,199 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 3: No, that's it's a tough call. So Lupervedo Joe Liperfito.

1302
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,319
Actually they went out and got they brought him back

1303
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,520
from the Jay's, so I think they like him enough.

1304
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:10,039
So I think he's gonna have at least a strong

1305
01:19:10,159 --> 01:19:12,960
side of the platoon for left field, and then you

1306
01:19:13,159 --> 01:19:16,600
have camp Smith, who I would be shocked if they

1307
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,720
give up on camp Smith completely. So he's the right

1308
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:24,319
fielder except for days when they want to have alfield

1309
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,560
errors and they throw ord On Alpharez out there. So

1310
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,560
so those two I think Liperfrido and camp Smith are

1311
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:34,039
more or less set. And then you have Jake Myers,

1312
01:19:34,159 --> 01:19:38,760
who's decent with the glove and and center field. So

1313
01:19:39,199 --> 01:19:42,239
I think that's the so I think the uh so,

1314
01:19:42,359 --> 01:19:48,640
I think the outfield is probably camp Smithluperffido, which McCall it,

1315
01:19:49,159 --> 01:19:54,119
Jake Myers probably, and then i'll two vase that second.

1316
01:19:55,119 --> 01:19:58,159
I want to say that's it. On most days, you know,

1317
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:03,600
jord On might go to the outfiel On occasionally maybe uh.

1318
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,920
You know, it's gonna get crowded once uh what's his face?

1319
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,640
Once Jeremy payin you returns, it's gonna get crowded at

1320
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:11,520
d H not DH.

1321
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: It will be crowded in the infield.

1322
01:20:13,079 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 3: That shortstop Karay is gonna move to third, so then

1323
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:19,680
Parades is gonna have to DH. So then your Don's

1324
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,479
gonna have to go to right field, and camp Smith's

1325
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:24,920
gonna you know, maybe go to the left and lup.

1326
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,960
Bravito's gonna go to the bench, or camp Smith's gonna

1327
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,640
go to the bench. It'll it'll be, I think, a

1328
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:35,319
pretty fluid situation. For the most part, I don't really

1329
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:39,960
like most of these guys I'm talking about. I mean

1330
01:20:40,039 --> 01:20:44,239
for fantasy obviously, Jake Myers is super boring, your lu

1331
01:20:44,359 --> 01:20:45,640
Braveno is super boring.

1332
01:20:46,279 --> 01:20:49,199
Speaker 1: And camp Smith, I mean I liked them last.

1333
01:20:49,039 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 3: Year, but how many times I've fill him for the

1334
01:20:52,079 --> 01:20:53,399
banana and the tailpipe?

1335
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:58,199
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, I mean for our game honestly, Like if

1336
01:20:58,279 --> 01:21:01,359
we're just looking at people on the ASTROS lineup and

1337
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,199
the back end, like Bryce Matthews is probably the one

1338
01:21:04,239 --> 01:21:06,800
that I'm most interested in if he gets a full

1339
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,359
time gig, just because he has the speed to make

1340
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:14,560
up a difference maker in a category. It will be

1341
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,760
interesting whenever, whenever they get a full roster of pain

1342
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,760
he comes back, what they do and who moves around.

1343
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,039
I think we both said we don't think Pradies is

1344
01:21:24,159 --> 01:21:27,439
just leaving the lineup completely, so there will be some

1345
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:33,039
movement there. Kansas City Jack keg Leone seems like he

1346
01:21:33,159 --> 01:21:35,840
has a spot, but who else is going to start

1347
01:21:36,199 --> 01:21:41,560
in the outfield for Kansas City and Jonathan India Michael

1348
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:45,920
Massey both have injury, So like, who's gonna end up

1349
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,279
being the second basement for Kansas City.

1350
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:52,199
Speaker 3: Well, it's Jonathan India if he's healthy, and as of

1351
01:21:52,319 --> 01:21:54,840
right now, I think he's I think he's healthy enough.

1352
01:21:56,079 --> 01:21:58,680
I think he's gonna be okay for opening day, but

1353
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,199
I don't know for sure, but Jonathan India is a

1354
01:22:01,239 --> 01:22:07,560
second basement. If he is, then keg Leone is definitely

1355
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:11,600
in the outfield with I would guess Isaac Collins, who

1356
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,520
I actually do like a decent amount. And then it's

1357
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:20,199
kind of like whoever can play center and not completely

1358
01:22:20,319 --> 01:22:24,199
embarrass themselves with the bat. It's gonna be a combination

1359
01:22:24,399 --> 01:22:31,000
of Sterling, Marte, Lane Thomas, and Kyle Isbel. Probably most

1360
01:22:31,079 --> 01:22:33,960
of bats are gonna go to Isbel, but if Lane

1361
01:22:34,039 --> 01:22:37,159
Thomas looks, you know, if Leane Thomas starts hitting, I

1362
01:22:37,239 --> 01:22:40,680
could see him becoming a regular there and moving into

1363
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,840
the everyday lineup. So it might this is one of

1364
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,840
those lineups where it might look like there's a lot

1365
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,880
in flux, but it actually might end up being fairly

1366
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:56,520
a rudimentary lineup from like day to day without too

1367
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:03,199
many changes between like you know, uh, the outfield with Collins, Lane,

1368
01:23:03,279 --> 01:23:06,520
Thomas and cag leone could that could be just line

1369
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,840
up and then India at second and Carter Jensen at

1370
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:10,279
d H.

1371
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we definitely could get that. The you know, it's

1372
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,920
I don't know if it's necessarily an exciting outfield, especially

1373
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,760
in center, but you know, Jack Caggs is gonna be

1374
01:23:23,039 --> 01:23:25,640
a fun one and I'm happy to hear he's likely

1375
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:29,119
going to break camp. So that's that's good news for us.

1376
01:23:30,279 --> 01:23:34,520
Over in Tampa Bay. Their outfield is also for perhaps Gray,

1377
01:23:35,399 --> 01:23:40,239
Cedric Mullins, Jake Fraley, Chandler Simpson, Johnny de Luca, Ryan Valade,

1378
01:23:40,399 --> 01:23:46,800
Jacob Melton. All they're all somewhat interesting and somewhat not

1379
01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:51,479
you know, I mean my Chandler Simpson shares definitely, I

1380
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,079
hope he gets a job. But what are your thoughts

1381
01:23:54,119 --> 01:23:55,960
here on the Tampa Bay outfield?

1382
01:23:56,399 --> 01:23:59,119
Speaker 3: So I would kind of be surprised if Mullens and

1383
01:23:59,319 --> 01:24:04,039
Chandler Simpson don't have jobs. And then Jake Freeley feels

1384
01:24:04,199 --> 01:24:08,520
like the strong side of a platoon, so then you

1385
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:12,640
really so then you're only left with like a a

1386
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,439
lefty platoon guy.

1387
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: You only need a guy to platoon.

1388
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 3: Against lefties, and then you have you know, you have

1389
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:26,840
the guys you mentioned with the Luca, Vivaldi, Williamson and

1390
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,319
blah blah blah. You have all those, Jacob Melton. You

1391
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:35,159
have guys that are potential to platoon in. But as

1392
01:24:35,199 --> 01:24:38,880
of right now, I think it's probably pretty set with Mullens, Frehley,

1393
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:40,319
and Chandler at.

1394
01:24:40,359 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: Least against righty's. Yeah, I think if you're gonna take

1395
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:47,600
a shot on anybody else, it would be the Luca.

1396
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,399
I think to start the season, those are the three

1397
01:24:51,319 --> 01:24:53,640
with the injury histories. Who knows what it ends up

1398
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,479
looking like the closer role. We've talked about it, I

1399
01:24:56,520 --> 01:25:00,560
think briefly before. But Griffin Jackson Garrett Clevenger I think

1400
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,880
are the two main competitors for closing role. It is

1401
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,239
Tampa Bay, though, What are your thoughts here? I think

1402
01:25:08,399 --> 01:25:11,119
Griffin jacks would be my best bet.

1403
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 3: I mean I kind of feel like, you know, with

1404
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:18,479
the Rays, they have a you know, they have a

1405
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,920
history of being like, Okay, we're gonna have Griffin Jackson

1406
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,600
is going to be the closer until July when we

1407
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:25,119
trade him.

1408
01:25:25,159 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, very similar to the Brewers.

1409
01:25:27,119 --> 01:25:29,279
Speaker 3: So the Rays are gonna you know, I think they're

1410
01:25:29,319 --> 01:25:32,439
gonna have someone be the closer until they can trade

1411
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:33,520
them in July.

1412
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 1: So I think Griffin Jackson is that guy.

1413
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 3: I think Griffin Jackson is absolutely going to become a

1414
01:25:39,079 --> 01:25:42,640
setup man somewhere else in August. But as of right now,

1415
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:44,199
I think Griffin Jackson is the guy.

1416
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:48,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there is still and when you say to

1417
01:25:48,319 --> 01:25:50,960
there who will be coming back at some point. So

1418
01:25:51,399 --> 01:25:53,600
I'm sure if they could get you know, if they

1419
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:55,760
can get Griffin Jackson saves and move him before and

1420
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,920
when you say it comes back, that's probably an ideal

1421
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:03,680
situation for and their last rotation spot is also up

1422
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,880
for grabs. Gray and all three pitchers have done well

1423
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:11,159
so far in spring training. Joe Boyle, Steven Matts and

1424
01:26:11,239 --> 01:26:14,000
Ian Seymour. Who are you giving them not to as

1425
01:26:14,039 --> 01:26:16,520
the fifth starting pitcher here? You know? I?

1426
01:26:17,039 --> 01:26:22,359
Speaker 3: Okay, so I want Ian Seymour. I wouldn't be totally

1427
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,039
against Joe Boyle, and I think.

1428
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:30,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Stephen Mattz. Yep, that's that's pretty much

1429
01:26:30,399 --> 01:26:35,119
all I want to phrase that exactly. Gray moving over

1430
01:26:35,239 --> 01:26:39,279
to Toronto, the rotation there has pretty much set itself

1431
01:26:39,399 --> 01:26:42,520
with the injuries, so we don't really need to talk

1432
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,600
about that right now. Second base, it's I guess it's

1433
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:51,000
up for grabs. Andre Simenez and David Schneider. Basically neither

1434
01:26:51,039 --> 01:26:53,239
of them deserve to be playing Major league baseball, but

1435
01:26:53,319 --> 01:26:57,079
one of them has to start if Ernie Clement is

1436
01:26:57,119 --> 01:26:57,560
not ready.

1437
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:04,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure, uh, which was?

1438
01:27:04,359 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 1: Andres Jimenez is the guy. It's brutal.

1439
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 3: I think I think Andres Jimenez is the second basement.

1440
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:13,880
I'm pretty sure it is, yeah.

1441
01:27:14,079 --> 01:27:16,359
Speaker 1: Or shortstop. I think there's a little like a middle

1442
01:27:16,399 --> 01:27:19,960
infield where it's like Clement to Menez, Schneider. They all

1443
01:27:20,079 --> 01:27:23,279
kind of rotate in between second and short But I

1444
01:27:23,359 --> 01:27:26,399
think it's yeah, I meant shortstop. Excuse me, Yeah, I

1445
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:31,199
think I think it is a shortstop. Yeah, yeah, all right.

1446
01:27:31,279 --> 01:27:34,920
Let's move over to Seattle, where the outfield is again

1447
01:27:35,199 --> 01:27:39,520
not really sat Gray, uh Luke, Raley, Victor Roeblaze, Donalind

1448
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:46,399
Nick Canzone, Leo Reeves, Miles Maastboni, Rob Refschneider all kind

1449
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,520
of in that mix. I mean, I would I kind

1450
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:51,840
of feel like it's Ralely in Rod Blaze to start,

1451
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,680
but I don't know where or who the third is

1452
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:57,159
and and kind of what else he goes. What are

1453
01:27:57,199 --> 01:27:57,760
your thoughts here?

1454
01:27:59,279 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 3: Stop Rob ref, Schneider, Arona, stop trying nothing now, DM,

1455
01:28:08,399 --> 01:28:11,640
I uh you know, I think, uh it's a good

1456
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,800
it's they're talking about adding a team or two to

1457
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:16,880
the major leagues. I think as we go through these

1458
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:21,119
position battles, it's a good idea to maybe take away

1459
01:28:21,119 --> 01:28:23,239
a couple of teams we need.

1460
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:25,239
Speaker 1: We don't need an expansion.

1461
01:28:25,319 --> 01:28:27,520
Speaker 3: I don't think like there's so many of these teams

1462
01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:32,079
that are like, I mean, even the contenders can't field

1463
01:28:32,119 --> 01:28:34,319
an outfield, like what's going on?

1464
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Man uh Seattle.

1465
01:28:37,239 --> 01:28:44,239
Speaker 3: I mean Luke Ranley, Victor Roebliz and can Zone are

1466
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:49,680
I think the guys outside obviously outside of Jay Rod,

1467
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,960
they have one outfield. Excuse me, they have Randy and

1468
01:28:53,039 --> 01:28:57,520
Rose Arena too, so they have excuse me, they have

1469
01:28:57,640 --> 01:28:59,840
d They have a d H spot and a right

1470
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:05,479
So it's Luke, Raley, can Zone and Roblez.

1471
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: Uh. Three guys for two spots.

1472
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:15,000
Speaker 3: I would guess Raley and can Zone because they're both

1473
01:29:15,079 --> 01:29:19,039
lefties that they're going to face Alrightyes, and then Roblis

1474
01:29:19,119 --> 01:29:24,000
is going to come in at least against lefties, and

1475
01:29:24,119 --> 01:29:27,760
then one of Raley or Canzone, whoever is actually hitting

1476
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:30,560
well at the time, he might they might stay in

1477
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,960
versus some lefties. So it's gonna be a mix and

1478
01:29:34,039 --> 01:29:37,279
match of three guys for two spots. But I like

1479
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:41,479
I like Canzone a lot. Luke Raley is, I mean

1480
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:43,399
kind of is what he is at this point, and

1481
01:29:44,199 --> 01:29:47,439
roebuzz is to a certain extent too. They're fine, but

1482
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:49,840
you know, I can't get that excited about them.

1483
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be more excited. If Robles had an everyday job,

1484
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,560
I'd be pretty I'd be more It's a lot more interesting.

1485
01:29:57,680 --> 01:29:59,920
But if he's just going to be a defensive replace

1486
01:30:00,039 --> 01:30:04,359
spent in weeks like Latuton guy, it's really hard to

1487
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:09,520
get too excited about that. You know. Their second base

1488
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,079
is also kind of open for grabs here. Cole Young

1489
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:17,479
is I think leading the position battle right now, but

1490
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:23,720
Cole Emerson's there, Leonardo reevs. Ryan Bliss, I don't know

1491
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:25,760
that you've really any of us are really interested in

1492
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:28,000
any of these guys though, you.

1493
01:30:28,079 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 3: Know, I mean, Cole young is, he's hitting well in

1494
01:30:31,079 --> 01:30:34,079
spring training, but I mean the key word there is

1495
01:30:34,159 --> 01:30:37,600
spring training, so I don't know how much really to

1496
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:41,119
make of it. Cole Young is I mean, I guess

1497
01:30:41,319 --> 01:30:44,039
kind of interesting if he's in the lineup every day.

1498
01:30:45,279 --> 01:30:48,800
He's got power and speed, probably as of right now,

1499
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:49,880
al only.

1500
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: But you know, I could see monkling them. Yeah, I agree.

1501
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,159
I think we have a few left here that are

1502
01:30:57,279 --> 01:31:02,840
at least somewhat interesting really for only leagues Colorado. Not

1503
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,000
a whole lot interesting there, but the first base job

1504
01:31:05,119 --> 01:31:08,800
is pretty much open for grabs. Charlie Condon, Troy Johnston

1505
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:12,800
and Ward O Julian Blaine Krim. But I don't know

1506
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:17,640
that I've ever heard of Are you interested in any

1507
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:21,319
of these guys here? Gray? And don't forget t J. Rumfield.

1508
01:31:23,199 --> 01:31:26,520
The Rockies were like, you know what. The Rockies smoked

1509
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:28,199
the Bowl and they were like, you know what, We're

1510
01:31:28,239 --> 01:31:31,039
gonna make up some names. Let's see, it wasn't a

1511
01:31:31,119 --> 01:31:33,600
major league. They grabbed a bunch of guys nobody remember.

1512
01:31:34,199 --> 01:31:37,399
Speaker 3: I honestly, for honestly, I appreciate that.

1513
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:38,359
Speaker 2: I like, I.

1514
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:45,239
Speaker 1: Respect a team that just makes up names. TJ.

1515
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:51,439
Speaker 3: Rumfield, Hey, so we're looking at t J. Rumfield at first.

1516
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:59,520
Speaker 1: At third? Did you just say, yeah, I did. Did

1517
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:01,039
you catch that? I made up a name?

1518
01:32:01,279 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 3: Uh tj Rumfield is hitting well in spring training, but

1519
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,880
it looks to me like he's a quad A guy,

1520
01:32:11,399 --> 01:32:13,119
which I mean the Rockies.

1521
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:14,399
Speaker 1: Could go with a quad A guy at first.

1522
01:32:15,119 --> 01:32:19,159
Speaker 3: Troy Johnston is also a quad A guy, so, and

1523
01:32:19,319 --> 01:32:26,720
he's like penciled in technically. Edward Julian is kind of interesting,

1524
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:29,319
but I think he's second base. There is such a

1525
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:34,840
mess here. Charlie Condon is very interesting, but I for

1526
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:39,239
whatever reason, Charlie Condon and Zach Veen don't seem like

1527
01:32:39,319 --> 01:32:42,279
they're anywhere near the Rockies.

1528
01:32:42,039 --> 01:32:42,920
Speaker 1: Radar to play.

1529
01:32:43,199 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 3: I don't, and I don't know why, necessarily because it's

1530
01:32:46,039 --> 01:32:47,239
like they're hitting well.

1531
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:49,119
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they play. I don't know.

1532
01:32:50,359 --> 01:32:57,600
Speaker 3: Anyway, I guess it's between Rumfield Johnston, and I think

1533
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:00,239
that's it. I think that's the first base. I think

1534
01:33:00,239 --> 01:33:02,039
that's what it's Betweenen for first base.

1535
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is a scenario where they moved Julian the

1536
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:10,239
first and they let uh At Dale Amador place second. Yeah,

1537
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:12,199
that's honestly what I'd like to see if we're not

1538
01:33:12,239 --> 01:33:17,479
gonna get Condon. I don't know if That's not what

1539
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:19,640
I'm saying is gonna happen or predicting what's gonna happen.

1540
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:23,079
But that's that's definitely a scenario in there. Uh Dale

1541
01:33:23,119 --> 01:33:27,159
omanor still sitting around spring training, so definitely an option.

1542
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:34,199
Uh Texas the DH is it's it's very old Jeff

1543
01:33:34,239 --> 01:33:37,920
Peterson Andrew McCutcheon team like the guys leading the way,

1544
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:41,960
Ezekiel Durant, Sam Haggerty also there. Let's talk about the

1545
01:33:42,079 --> 01:33:43,479
Texas closer while we're here too.

1546
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the fact that Jack Peterson had one

1547
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:52,520
of the worst seasons of all time and somehow managed

1548
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:56,800
to come back into this season and still be the

1549
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:01,680
leading candidate to hit like clean up and for the Rangers,

1550
01:34:02,319 --> 01:34:05,479
like he couldn't have possibly had a worse season last year,

1551
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:07,800
and somehow he held onto his job.

1552
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know why. I can't figure it out.

1553
01:34:13,279 --> 01:34:13,680
I don't know.

1554
01:34:15,479 --> 01:34:19,960
Speaker 3: I guess him and McCutcheon are gonna platoon. It's avoidable

1555
01:34:20,039 --> 01:34:22,960
and outside of Ale only I went in touch to

1556
01:34:23,039 --> 01:34:27,000
either of them. And then the closer situation. I really

1557
01:34:27,199 --> 01:34:32,399
like Robert Garcia. I fail to see how he's not

1558
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:36,319
like someone who people like he's going so much later

1559
01:34:36,399 --> 01:34:37,560
than he should be in drafts.

1560
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:38,439
Speaker 1: I like him.

1561
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 3: I think I think he's probably gonna be a top

1562
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:49,279
fifteen closer, like I'm in on Robert Garcia a big time.

1563
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:55,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree, Minnesota their DH is wide up and

1564
01:34:55,399 --> 01:34:58,560
Gray there's just as such a long list of names.

1565
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:02,199
I'm not even gonna around them. But who who in Minnesota?

1566
01:35:02,279 --> 01:35:05,439
Do you like they potentially run or started DH? Gray?

1567
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 3: Uh? So, you know, I've been seeing Victor Carratini in

1568
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,359
the d H spot on Roster Resource.

1569
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 1: I've seen them in that DH spot now for like

1570
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:18,640
three months, and I just.

1571
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:23,079
Speaker 3: Can't believe Victor quarantines. Like, I know the Twins will

1572
01:35:23,119 --> 01:35:26,159
be bad, but I just cannot believe that they would

1573
01:35:26,199 --> 01:35:29,399
actually go into the season with Victor Carrottini as their DH.

1574
01:35:30,079 --> 01:35:35,199
So it's just so hard to believe. So I'm guessing

1575
01:35:35,359 --> 01:35:39,840
Cody Clements, but honestly, Cody Clements isn't much better. Maybe

1576
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:42,840
Jans Outman. I think it's gonna be. I think it's

1577
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:47,720
just gonna be a mix and match type situation. Austin

1578
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:54,039
Martin seemed kind of interesting as a car Austin Martin

1579
01:35:54,079 --> 01:35:57,279
seemed interesting, but that he's been hurt recently, so I

1580
01:35:57,319 --> 01:36:02,960
don't know. I guess Keratini, Clement and Outman in a

1581
01:36:03,079 --> 01:36:04,279
mix and match situation.

1582
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:09,600
Speaker 1: I guess, Yeah, it seems like a just a huge mess.

1583
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,359
I am with you. I don't. I don't see them

1584
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:17,520
going into a season with with Keratini as their d H.

1585
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,600
But you know, the the Twins line up last year

1586
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:24,880
was just just hideous in times, so I really I

1587
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:27,800
really can't put anything past them at this point. I don't.

1588
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:31,640
I don't really fully understand how the Twins win games,

1589
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:35,199
but they do, and so, you know, good, good for them.

1590
01:36:35,239 --> 01:36:39,399
I'm I'm happy for them. Pitching, I don't really know.

1591
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,760
There's not There's not a whole lot here that's interesting.

1592
01:36:44,119 --> 01:36:50,000
It's it's a position they they'll only specifically here. That's

1593
01:36:50,039 --> 01:36:51,920
pretty much all I got. Great, There's there's a few

1594
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:54,319
teams that I just didn't really have positional battles for,

1595
01:36:55,119 --> 01:36:57,319
so we're just we're not going to force it anymore.

1596
01:36:57,399 --> 01:37:00,479
We're already, you know, an hour forty five to the show,

1597
