see it might be a holiday for the Canadians as well.

6
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,280
You're you're up on guitar sixth to nothing in the

7
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,200
World Cup play.

8
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:46,799
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it doesn't get invited than that. What sport

9
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,359
are we talking here?

10
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: Hey, they might make it into the into the knockout round, Tim,

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,359
that's a big deal.

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a big deal. It really is. And

13
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:03,119
based on the you know, I've seen some of the

14
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,719
parades and such, and yeah, it looks like everybody's having

15
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:11,159
a grand old time. I loved the Japanese fans what

16
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:12,920
they did after their game. I don't know if you

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,719
caught that. No, No, they in Dallas, they cleaned their

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,000
section of the building. They were all sitting in one

19
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,239
block basically, okay, and they cleaned it at the end

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,079
of the game. They picked up all their garbage.

21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: The different you have the Asian culture in the US culture,

22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,159
I mean, we're just throw the stuff.

23
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody gets paid, paid to paid to take care

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,159
of that. No it I saw. I saw it on

25
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,120
Twitter and they said, no, we're not going to leave

26
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,519
the place in the mess. I smiled. I thought that's cool.

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,359
Speaker 1: So in our little town here we have the Jets

28
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:01,480
training camp. Training facility is in town. Maybe it's two

29
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,439
miles from us, but right next to the Jets training

30
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,800
camp is the the Newark Red Bull of the New

31
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:13,479
Jersey Red Bull, which is the professional soccer team, their

32
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:17,039
training facility. And since one of the big venues is

33
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,159
here in New Jersey, a lot of the teams, the

34
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,879
World Cup teams are training and you know, coming in

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,240
and training in the facility, so they've blocked off a

36
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:31,840
huge section for fans of whatever country that is. So

37
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,599
they you know that the guys will come driving in,

38
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,479
you know, and they'll be waving and signing autographs. It's

39
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,120
it's quite a scene. It's quite a scene.

40
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can, I can just imagine. Yeah, I know.

41
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:48,599
It's Uh, we didn't partake, Tim, No, I was gonna say,

42
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,960
you weren't out there. You weren't out there waving your

43
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:52,240
leg and we.

44
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: Were not waving our flag. We we had to take

45
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,719
care of our grandchildren, both both of our with our

46
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:02,960
son and daughter in law. We're both traveling, so we

47
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,879
had to do the night shift, so we would drive

48
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:09,560
by this facility, you know, on the way there. It

49
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:13,080
was a it was a backup, just everybody watching, everybody

50
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,599
watching the players come in.

51
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: So okay, yeah, And I was going to say, I

52
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:21,759
can just imagine how much excitement the Jets training facilities

53
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:25,599
if there's still the Jets, you know, are we hoping

54
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:27,919
for five hundred and we'll call it a good year?

55
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean it is terrible, they're terrible. But look at

56
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,840
the White Sox. I mean, the White Sox are terrible.

57
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,479
And all of a sudden, you know, I'm reading Ken

58
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,840
Rosenthal's article today and he's mentioning them potentially being the

59
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,680
Derek Scooble Sweepstakes. It's like, what planet are we on?

60
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,199
Speaker 2: And did he did he quote me?

61
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,759
Speaker 1: I didn't.

62
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: He ignored my predictions and all the rest of that.

63
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:58,439
Speaker 1: No, this is getting this is getting crazy. Tim. We're

64
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,520
we're halfway forty done, so next week and we'll be

65
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:06,439
halfway done this season. And the White Sox look good

66
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:08,840
and they're they're in it. They look really really good.

67
00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: America, you will be coming back and you know, you

68
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,439
look at right now, they're they're one game under the

69
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,399
forty win mark, which puts them last year to probably

70
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:24,399
sometime in mid to late August. They're having a great year.

71
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:28,040
I'm happy. I'm happy for the organization in the community.

72
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,199
Speaker 1: Coulson mctgomery hit his twentieth home run last night. He's

73
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,399
on pace for forty and they don't have any batting average.

74
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,959
Actually in a rise kind of player would be actually

75
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:41,199
be an interesting pickup for them. They're all power and.

76
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:46,519
Speaker 2: What's that I was gonna say, except for maybe medrof

77
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:53,439
and Antonagic and Antony Antonology not g Yeah, and they're

78
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:56,399
playing they're playing very well. Yeah, you know what I mean.

79
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,879
They're they're doing exactly what they should be doing. So yeah,

80
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,920
it's it's cool.

81
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: It's cool.

82
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: I love it.

83
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,759
Speaker 1: Oh, tim, So, Tim and I were bemoaning just all

84
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,560
the injuries on our teams, and uh, I have Mike

85
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:15,639
Trout on three or four teams and getting the news

86
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,000
that he's out for the season with a hamstring pool

87
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:20,399
Timmy was really discouraging.

88
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,319
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's tough when you see day to day

89
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,720
until twenty twenty nine, right, I know.

90
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,319
Speaker 1: So, first of all, he is not ass for the season.

91
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,560
But I'm being a little bit snarky because Mike Trout

92
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:37,240
is the He's just let's face Timmy, he's a slow healer.

93
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:38,519
He is a slow Yes.

94
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,759
Speaker 2: Yes, if you're expecting him back, okay, in the minimum

95
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,759
ten days, okay, whatever you're drinking, passed me the recipe, okay,

96
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:49,120
because I love him too.

97
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's back in ten days. But I mean, it's

98
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:55,600
just I just can't count on it.

99
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: So no, there were, there were. The reality of the

100
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,600
situation is such that no, you can't count on you

101
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,160
really can't. And that's a big blow. And I lost

102
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:06,519
you on Monday, you know, all of a sudden, Angel

103
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:11,560
Martinez's bruce foot is broken, okay, and Brandia Rose Arena,

104
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000
who is supposed to be in the starting lineup, is

105
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,399
on the I L And I'm you know, I got

106
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:20,279
one league where I have utilized we only make once

107
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,120
some we have once a month, have okay, I have

108
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,879
utilized every possible combination to still hold an active lineup.

109
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,000
So I'm impressed about that. But at the same point

110
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,600
in time, the next injury, I'm playing light. It's it's

111
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:38,480
you know, I had a lot of shares of a

112
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,279
Rose Arena, and I don't need him spending any more

113
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:42,480
time on the I L.

114
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:46,879
Speaker 1: And neither do the neither do the Mariners. Yeah, I

115
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,439
mean that's the desperate offense.

116
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:54,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's but you know what the two kids

117
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:55,360
are playing all right?

118
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah remember send and and and uh and Yeah.

119
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah they're solid.

120
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: But you were you were a naysay or an Emerson

121
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:10,399
cold Emerson. Yeah it gears, remember you just you kept

122
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:15,120
going back to the all the shortstops of old how

123
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,480
they've all underperformed. So yeah, it's good to see him performing.

124
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it most certainly is. And I know it's shocking rich,

125
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,360
but I can't be wrong. It happens.

126
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Hey man, all the all I'm gonna say is, of

127
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,480
all the things you got wrong, you're making up for

128
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:34,800
it with one call in the White Sox. I mean

129
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,839
that's just insane. I can't get over.

130
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:41,319
Speaker 2: Well. Well yeah, and you know, yeah, you look at

131
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,600
his counterpart in Toronto, and he's on pace for just

132
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:49,959
about what I thought he would be, and that's close

133
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,879
to thirty home runs and eighty plus RBIs. Yeah, Okamo

134
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:58,279
was doing flying for himself as well. It's it's funny

135
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:04,120
I've been watching him you know, but he they put

136
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,160
him in the seventh slot. Okay, he hits a couple

137
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,800
of home runs and he's hot, and they move him

138
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:13,879
to three and he goes over twelve in three games.

139
00:08:14,079 --> 00:08:15,759
They put him back in the seventh slot, and maybe

140
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,920
they should just leave him in the seventh slot because

141
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:20,079
he seems to be very comfortable and at the back

142
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,519
back end of that lineup. So maybe will pick up,

143
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:26,680
but not quicker than he did on Louis Ireland.

144
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,519
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe. I mean I get the math on the

145
00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:36,360
lineup construction. I'm not sure I quite get it, because

146
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:42,120
after any number one, you know, it doesn't matter, doesn't

147
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:44,440
like you know what I mean. It's like, if you're

148
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:48,759
hitting seventh, then you know, if if a couple of

149
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:50,840
minutes in the first inning, then you might be hitting

150
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:53,080
second in the second and you know, something like that.

151
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no logic to it except for the fact

152
00:08:57,039 --> 00:08:59,720
that there's a trend happening. He seems to be hitting

153
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:01,679
well in the seventh spot.

154
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it sounds like even like the even odd strategy.

155
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, fun, yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, exactly.

156
00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

157
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,279
Speaker 2: There is not a stat that baseball doesn't have, and

158
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,679
if they don't have it, somebody will create it very quickly, right.

159
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: So, I don't know if you've been following some of

160
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,600
the rhetoric going back and forth on the positioning of

161
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,080
Major League Baseball versus the player Association, but they're starting

162
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:36,720
to talk about things on the fringes and avoiding the

163
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:39,960
big topic of heart salary caps and things like that.

164
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:42,840
And the one thing that has come up over the

165
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:47,840
last few days is Major League Baseball is suggesting changes

166
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:54,200
to the international market and the domestic draft. So first

167
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,720
of all, in the domestic draft, going from twenty rounds

168
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,919
to twelve rounds and you've got to be eighteen years

169
00:10:00,919 --> 00:10:06,360
old to be drafted, and cutting the budget from four

170
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,159
hundred million dollars to two hundred million dollars and making

171
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,480
it hard caps. So if pick round one, pick number

172
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,639
five is worth seven and a half million dollars, that's

173
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:21,200
what you get. There is no seven point six, there

174
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:24,840
is no six point nine. It's what it is. So

175
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:27,159
what you're thinking about that.

176
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,039
Speaker 2: Well, I have a question for you, and hopefully you

177
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,759
can give me a clear definition. They're also looking at

178
00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:38,159
excluding high school players from the draft, and the age

179
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,639
I heard that was proposed for the draft was twenty

180
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,360
years of age.

181
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: It's eighteen at least that's what they're we're still in

182
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,240
negotiat they're still in negotiations, but as eighteen. So you've

183
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,639
got to be eighteen as of September first.

184
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: So how are they going to handle high school players?

185
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: They won't get drafted. They'll have to go to college.

186
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: Well, you can't force someone you go to college. So

187
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:10,000
you know the human that's a human rights, that's a

188
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,039
human right.

189
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean okay, yeah, so they don't have to

190
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,399
do anything.

191
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,759
Speaker 2: That's court, that's going to coay.

192
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: No, wait a minute, they can sit on their ass

193
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,120
for a year, do absolutely nothing.

194
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:24,919
Speaker 2: Or they are two years or two years, three years

195
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,000
if you're seventeen, all right, or you.

196
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:28,919
Speaker 1: Can go to it. Well, I don't think it's twenty again,

197
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,000
I I just read it this morning. I think it's eighteen.

198
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,679
Let's say they compromise on nineteen, so they'll go. They'll

199
00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:38,320
there are academies out there now that are post high

200
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,039
school academies that you know they do you just play baseball, right,

201
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,279
and they'll probably become more important. And then others will

202
00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:49,200
just simply go to college and get free ride to college.

203
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,679
They won't go to class and they'll play baseball.

204
00:11:51,799 --> 00:11:55,879
Speaker 2: Ye. Well yeah, but again you're delaying service time by

205
00:11:55,879 --> 00:12:00,480
a year, maybe two years. That is correct that you're Yeah, yeah,

206
00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:02,960
as if that's going to have the odds are better

207
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:05,240
that the Rockies pitcher starter is going to win the

208
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,600
Cy Young before that'll ever be voted to.

209
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,279
Speaker 1: I disagree, and I'm going to tell you why because,

210
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,399
and I talk to international as well, they're thinking about

211
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,080
going to an international draft as opposed to just what

212
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:23,360
goes on now is all the monkey business behind the scenes,

213
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,799
that clean that all up, and they'll go to an

214
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:32,320
international draft. I think that the Players Association will will

215
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:35,000
kind of allow this kind of stuff to happen because

216
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,080
they're trying to protect free agency et cetera, et cetera,

217
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,360
and the existing players and the guys coming into the draft.

218
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,799
These high school players aren't in the Players Association, so

219
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:51,080
they might give that to the owners in exchange for

220
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,960
not putting hard salary caps and things like that, and

221
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,320
the owners will take that because ultimately that's what reduces salaries.

222
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:02,200
You get older years, etc.

223
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:03,159
Speaker 2: Sure, etc.

224
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you're they're gonna win on the back end

225
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,240
keeping salaries suppressed.

226
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the only thing is everybody in the world

227
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,320
knows the game's getting younger. Okay, so you suppressing the

228
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:22,519
youth is not a smart business model. I don't think

229
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,600
you should be encouraging you, right, But now I agree

230
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:28,120
with you.

231
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,519
Speaker 1: Because the best players are these guys or Jacob Mezerowski,

232
00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:34,840
those are your best players. Twenty three years old, two

233
00:13:34,919 --> 00:13:38,559
years of major league experience and just shoving it.

234
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,279
Speaker 2: But yeah mc mcgonag' goll, the kid in Pittsburgh, and yeah,

235
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,120
all those kids pushing Now, what they're saying is, yeah,

236
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,960
we want to push them back a year or two. Duh.

237
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:52,399
Speaker 1: So you push them back. So instead of Miserowski being

238
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,840
twenty two, twenty three, now he's twenty five, twenty six

239
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,919
with two years experience, and then all of a sudden,

240
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,120
when he was ready eligible for free agency, he's thirty

241
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,879
thirty one and the team goes, oh, he's old, he's

242
00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:06,440
an older player. We're not going to pay him that

243
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,399
much and binger they win.

244
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,039
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, No, I don't think that.

245
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,720
I don't think that proposal. I just don't think it'll wash.

246
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:19,919
At least it shouldn't.

247
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:22,799
Speaker 1: It should, but I think it will will.

248
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could but again, I I don't think the

249
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,879
whole heck of a lot matters on this end anyways,

250
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:33,960
until they get down to the hard issue and the

251
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,759
bottom line is of players. I can't see them caving

252
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,120
on the on a cap. That's not going to happen.

253
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: So and yeah, so my logic here, Timmy, is is

254
00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:49,159
the but the owners know that as well, so they

255
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,039
get all of the little stuff that actually have bigger,

256
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,360
bigger implications than the Players Association might no going into.

257
00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:02,679
Speaker 2: This, Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to give the

258
00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:05,399
Players Association a little bit more credit that they will

259
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:08,360
check the future of the game. But you look at

260
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,559
the number of players that as the game is getting younger,

261
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:16,519
the number of players that actually get into a big

262
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:20,279
dollar contract as a percentage of the total group is

263
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:26,879
an infinitely small one, but less than three percent, right

264
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,279
end up with the O Tawani or you know, the

265
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,159
it's probably one percent.

266
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a very very small number. But everybody

267
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:38,159
thinks they're going to be show Hey Otani, I think

268
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:40,240
they're going to get the and that's what the it

269
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:43,759
seems like that's what the Players Association tries to protect

270
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,559
as opposed to the masses, which is I think where

271
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,639
they should be focusing on.

272
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: I totally agree, hundred percent. You want to you want

273
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,639
to look for the better of the whole of the group,

274
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,600
which is what a union should In fact, Yeah, hey,

275
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,919
did they have the numbers? They ain't. How many people

276
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,240
get the big bucks? Nobody, you know what I mean,

277
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:09,799
and a very very small number of players. And you

278
00:16:09,879 --> 00:16:13,879
see more and more like the Milwaukee model, you know,

279
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,320
offering Laura you know, seven on thirty one and Pratt

280
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:20,960
seven on fifty five. That's sort of you know, hey.

281
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Hey, Cooper practice, that's got the call.

282
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,559
Speaker 2: Tim Yeah, I know I mentioned him last week and

283
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,440
because I was sort of looking at him and and

284
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:34,679
you know, after the Laura saying yeah, nice, nice to

285
00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:37,399
see him up there. They moved on from Joey Ortiz.

286
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,480
I guess, I guess, so I guess and Renee Reneefo

287
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:45,120
I think DF eight and yeah, it's good.

288
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: He really really fell from grace in a hurry.

289
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: Den.

290
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,039
Speaker 1: He was a pretty good baseball player about two years ago.

291
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,399
Speaker 2: He was and just disappeared here today Korea tomorrow.

292
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,799
Speaker 1: All right. So one of the things we're going to

293
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,600
do on our take ten with ten because this is

294
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,840
our wild card. We could do anything we want to

295
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,480
do well. We could do anything we want to do always.

296
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:08,880
But today we're going to draft the first round of

297
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,279
twenty twenty seven. So we're going to pretend Timmy that

298
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,960
it's the late February and you and I are on

299
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:21,279
mclock and what we know about what we know about

300
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,799
the twenty twenty six season is all we know as

301
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,319
of the nineteenth of June here.

302
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: So.

303
00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: Let's draft me. I'm going to give you the hother

304
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:33,920
okay of going number one, And I will say this

305
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,400
is going to be challenging because a lot of the people.

306
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,839
If you take a look at who's on the top

307
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,519
of the list, it's the James Wood, Nick Kurtz, Jordan

308
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:46,880
Walker of the World and not the show Hey O, Tani,

309
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,319
Aaron Judge. So where do those guys go? How much

310
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:53,680
credence do you give to the performances we're seeing so far?

311
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:55,599
And that's why I think this is going to be fascinating.

312
00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:56,160
What do you think?

313
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's going to be fun. I'm looking

314
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,519
forward to doing. I'm gonna go with the obvious pick

315
00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:05,039
at number one, rich and I think it's clarified and obvious.

316
00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:05,839
Why at language?

317
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought you were the same about Miguel Vargas.

318
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,319
Vargas we might call that. I don't, I don't. I

319
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,240
don't even know what you do with these guys, Andy Paus.

320
00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:19,279
I mean, is that a second round pick next year?

321
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,240
I don't know.

322
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:27,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes two of us right now. But I'm

323
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:27,799
going Bobby with.

324
00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: I'll rap bastard. That's what I was I was hoping

325
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,279
you would fall.

326
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,039
Speaker 2: No. I like Bobby with a lot. You know, even

327
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:38,240
even with the home runs and RBIs being down a

328
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,839
little bit because of the team situation. You're looking at

329
00:18:43,839 --> 00:18:46,160
a guy that I think is twenty five to thirty

330
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,119
one run potential and forty to sixty stolen bases. Yeah,

331
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,519
I gotta go Bobby with over over the consensus number

332
00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:56,640
one from the past couple of years. And again, if

333
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,880
you're looking at a league where you've got two old

334
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,240
hit her pitcher and they're molded into one, or you've

335
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,319
got daily moves with Otani and you've got access to both,

336
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,599
it's hard to pass on the hitting pitching. But I'm

337
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,160
I'm just gonna go Bobby Wit and play it. I

338
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,119
think relatively safe, assuming his knee is solid, which he

339
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,839
got removed from the game last night because of Yeah.

340
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as it's not you know, knee surgery,

341
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,240
hopefully it's just something that's bruised, it'll come back. But

342
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,799
I mean, temmy, I honestly, I think Bobby Witt is

343
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:34,480
the only one that makes sense in this first round.

344
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,640
To me, I mean, it's like I'm literally sitting at

345
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,799
number two and James wits at the top of the list.

346
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,920
Twenty home runs, thirteen stolen bases in two seventy seven

347
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,799
batting average. Nick Kurtz has got off slow, but he's

348
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,160
like hitting the home run every day. He's got seven

349
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,400
stolen bases. I mean, this is paulk Colch his prime.

350
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,359
I mean, I I think he's got He's got a

351
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,119
two ninety one batting average I think is one pace

352
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,880
percentage is like four to twenty. You're something that, I mean,

353
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,400
it's crazy, that's what Nick comes is doing.

354
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's they're at number two, and you know, how

355
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,079
how do you ignore Tani and how do you ignore

356
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,119
one Sodo who will always put up good, good numbers,

357
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:16,759
you know what I mean.

358
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I think at this juncture, both of those

359
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,319
guys are the safer, the safest kind of picks. I mean,

360
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,519
you could decide you're going to go pitching crazy and

361
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:31,480
go with Jacob Mazerowski. But what is Soda doing here?

362
00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:35,960
Sodo was seventeen number one six dolear basis hitting three hundred. Yeah,

363
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,480
so do I go there or do I go show

364
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:42,599
here tani And you're worried the showy atanis now at

365
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,799
least getting twenty to twenty five days a year off

366
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,519
now because they're not hitting him when he's pitching in general.

367
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: So in general, yeah, but it's pitching numbers are so ridiculous. Yeah,

368
00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:01,759
does he is? He's e or a much over one

369
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,359
right now.

370
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: I think he gave up four runs. I think it's

371
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,279
like one twelve or something like that. I mean it's

372
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:10,759
something very low. And I've seen people because in our

373
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,359
fan tracks leagues we have you can change pitchers and

374
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,079
hitters on Friday, and I see people who will put

375
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,440
show Heyo tani as in the pitching slot so on

376
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,119
the weekends when he's pitching on the weekend, which makes

377
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,119
sense because if he's only going to start in the

378
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,759
field two days versus pitch one day, I mean, that

379
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:34,559
does make a lot of sense, which just gives me

380
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,319
more value. So I'm going to take show.

381
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: Heyo, Tani, can't blame you one bit, not one bet. No,

382
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,319
that would have been that would have been my pick.

383
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,480
And I'm I'm going to make this painfully simple. I'm

384
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:49,640
going one soda.

385
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: With three, bastard.

386
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, it's for me. It was a choice

387
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:57,359
between the two. And I think more leagues are going

388
00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:01,640
to multiple moves, you know, Monday Friday sort of thing,

389
00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:05,839
and as a result of that, that gives Otani that

390
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,599
you know, hey, if he's pitching in the first half

391
00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:14,079
of the week, okay, then he's not going to be

392
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:16,480
If he's pitching on a Tuesday Wednesday, he's not pitching

393
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:19,119
till the following Monday. You throw him in as a

394
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,000
hitter on the weekend and take what you can get

395
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:24,039
out of it, because it's probably going to be at

396
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,480
worst better than your average player.

397
00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: I think. I still think in daily moves league, you

398
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,240
don't even think he's just the number one.

399
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, yep, I agree.

400
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,319
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's it.

401
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: That's how we're done.

402
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:52,799
Speaker 1: We're done. Next question, Okay, oh lord, you know.

403
00:22:50,759 --> 00:22:56,799
Speaker 2: Whoever you whoever you pick, you can defend it and

404
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,920
argue against it at the same time, and be.

405
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: Right, how can you not take James Woods here? James

406
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,119
Wood here, I mean sixty eight runs, he's scored sixty

407
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,200
eight runs. Tim he's on pace for one hundred and

408
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,839
forty runs. Score run scored is probably in advertiseary league

409
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,160
might be the most challenging category to accumulate. I think

410
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,440
I got to go James Wood.

411
00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:25,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then again, you look at Aaron Judge three

412
00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:27,799
of the past four seasons is at fifty plus home

413
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,920
runs and driven in one hundred, and you look at

414
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,319
Cruise and you look at there's a lot of things you.

415
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,319
Speaker 1: Can How old is How old is Aaron.

416
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,759
Speaker 2: Judge inhuman or dog years?

417
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look, yeah, a huge man like that. I mean,

418
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,400
that's that's my That's always been my concern with Aaron Judge.

419
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,079
Taking him in the first round up and dead wrong,

420
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,319
except for the season he's hurt, he's in fact, it's

421
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,640
going to be a disaster for people that took him

422
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,480
in the first because you're not going to get a

423
00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:04,000
whole lot of time from him.

424
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's any first rounder that you lose is

425
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,240
a problem. We're we're going to run into another problem

426
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,759
the consensus number four pick this year. Who's dealing with

427
00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:15,960
a hamaid di your issue? What do you do with

428
00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:16,960
Jose Ramirez?

429
00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:21,599
Speaker 1: But he's he's been, it's true, But he's not a

430
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:25,200
guy that rarely gets hurt. I guess Jus rarely gets

431
00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:28,039
hurt as well. So I guess they don't get there.

432
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,720
They're not hurt until they're hurt.

433
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:33,079
Speaker 2: Right, So yeah, then they are? Yeah?

434
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: All right, So I got James with So I'm stepping

435
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,000
out a little bit, not going with one of the

436
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,680
safer picks. So where are you going to?

437
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 2: Ah, I'm going to be boring. It's just a case

438
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,799
of how boring. I I gotta go with Aaron Judge.

439
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,279
I simply have to. The home run RBI potential is

440
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:59,720
such that I just can't pass in the fifth fifth

441
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,160
slot with Aaron Judge and hope that he gets in

442
00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:06,359
five hundred plus at bats.

443
00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I get it. I mean, so I'm

444
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,519
not even thinking about your pick now, I'm worried about

445
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:19,359
my pick. I mean it's it's I mean, it's it's safe.

446
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,079
I guess Aaron Judge hold is Aaron Judge.

447
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,519
Speaker 2: I guess thirty three.

448
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,599
Speaker 1: Old is Aaron Aaron Judge. Hoops, Aaron Judge is thirty four,

449
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,400
he'll turn He'll be he'll be thirty five years old

450
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,440
on April twenty six next season.

451
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he'll be thirty six the next time he

452
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:51,240
plays ball. And you know what, a lot of these decisions,

453
00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:56,200
you know, we're we're making them based on the season

454
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,200
happening and everything going forward. Everything gets skewed and changed

455
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,240
around it. If you way, if there is a delay

456
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:05,279
to the start of the twenty seventh season, and what

457
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,079
you know, what would be you know what I mean?

458
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: I think you go conservative if if you're if the

459
00:26:12,039 --> 00:26:14,160
season is going to be three months, right, that's when

460
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,240
that's when the Aaron Judges of the world become a

461
00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:18,640
lot more safer.

462
00:26:19,759 --> 00:26:23,039
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Yes, yeah, and again yeah, you

463
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,079
run into the hot guy, the hot hand at the

464
00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:26,960
beginning of a three month season, and then it can

465
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,880
carry you a long way. Right. Yeah, it's interesting.

466
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: Well, the only well, we've picked five guys, and the

467
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,839
only one that's even remotely interesting is James Would. Everything

468
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:42,279
else has been like we're drafting last February, and I'm

469
00:26:42,319 --> 00:26:45,000
going to continue with that boring trend. Tim and I'm

470
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,359
going to go Elid La Cruz.

471
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,319
Speaker 2: That would have been my pick. I like that pick.

472
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yep, he's supposed to be back. They're saying, I

473
00:26:55,519 --> 00:26:59,039
think he starts a minor league rehab today, so he

474
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,200
should be back Tuesday.

475
00:27:01,319 --> 00:27:06,839
Speaker 2: I would assume, I would think sometime sometime next week. Yeah,

476
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,119
I would expect the stolen bases to be down a

477
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,759
little bit for a week or two, and so he

478
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:16,759
knocks all the rust off and feels comfortable with that. Hammy.

479
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,079
But yeah, no, I like Elie Dela Cruz. I really

480
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,680
I think it's in the right area. You got power,

481
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,920
you got speed, He's young, h five hundred healthy at

482
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,759
bats out of La Dela Cruz could be absolutely monstrous.

483
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I still think he gets five hundred

484
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,480
of pats this season. Timmy, Let's uh, let's give you

485
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:39,759
another couple of minutes to make your decision. Let's take

486
00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:42,640
a quick break and come back, and I think gets

487
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:54,960
an extra time last year show A Tony Aaron, Judge,

488
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,559
Bobby Witch, Jose jan so To, Jose Ramirez, Ronald Acuna Jr. Scooble,

489
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:03,880
Eli de la Cruz, Julio Rodriguez, Paul Skeins, or your

490
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,640
top ten. So far, we've got Otani, Judge wit Soto

491
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,799
already selected, and I I'm been the only one that's

492
00:28:12,839 --> 00:28:16,640
been creative here and I have thrown in James Wood.

493
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,160
Where are you going?

494
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,799
Speaker 2: Tom Okay? Time for some creativity. Based on what we've

495
00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:30,200
seen this year, this guy could be so dominant in

496
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,680
a full season. I can't pass up the opportunity for

497
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,960
two hundred and fifty plus strikeouts in fifteen to twenty ones.

498
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,039
I'm going with Misowski at seven.

499
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:45,119
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's a great call. I mean I

500
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:46,799
was I was going to take him. He was going

501
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,680
to go in the first round for me, So.

502
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:52,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've got to I've got basically two pitchers

503
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,400
possibly a third in the first round, and like, looking

504
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,160
at what he is doing, you know, the risk is

505
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,240
off the charts, There's no doubt of both that. But

506
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,440
if he can get two to three seasons of what

507
00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:09,839
he's done in the first half of this year and

508
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,559
before his arm falls off, and I'm not I'm not

509
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,119
voting for horror hoping for that situation, but what he's

510
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,960
doing is is unheard of. He's on a pace for

511
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,079
two hundred and fifty plus stray oats. That is a

512
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,200
huge edge, not to mention the e are, the whip

513
00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:32,000
and everything else that goes along with it. I hey,

514
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,759
I just can't pass on Miserowski middle middle of the

515
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:37,839
first round right now.

516
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,799
Speaker 1: I read I read an article I think it was.

517
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000
It was this morning. It was principally talking about Zach

518
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:50,400
Wheeler facing Missowski, and Wheeler was just an all of

519
00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:54,119
this guy. Uh and it was it was from a goop,

520
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,119
It was from a geeky pitching standpoint, he said. He

521
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,319
basically talked about the fluidity of his a livery and

522
00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:05,119
the fact that it is so clean, so simple, there's

523
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,839
no herky jerky in it at all. And he's throwing

524
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,640
an average is one hundred point one miles an hour,

525
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:16,759
and wheel are just like, you can't hit that. I mean,

526
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:24,759
it's just there's it's the seven halft average major League

527
00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:25,680
and a half feet.

528
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that one hundred miles an hour on an equivalent,

529
00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:31,839
it's about one hundred and three and a half one

530
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,640
hundred and four miles, which is even stupider than a

531
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,240
hundred you know what I mean, because that's the big thing.

532
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, yeah, he's he's I mean I I

533
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,759
think he's the number one picture off the board. No

534
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:49,599
disrespect to Trek Scooble or Paul Skins. What Jacob Mazerowski

535
00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:52,640
is doing is just crazy. I agree with you.

536
00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:57,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Tim, let me ask you a question. I'm

537
00:30:57,799 --> 00:30:58,559
looking forward to this.

538
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:02,359
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I it. We're drafted together. I see

539
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,319
this because we're trying to figure Look, I'm looking at

540
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,720
Nick Kurtz. It's just a crazy season, particularly one based

541
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,279
percentage leagues. He's a first round pick right given his

542
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,680
on base percentage. But have you seen Pete crow Armstrong

543
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:18,240
is doing again? I mean he did it last season,

544
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:19,799
is doing it again.

545
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,599
Speaker 2: I mean hot cold, hot cold, hot, cold, on off

546
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,720
like a light switch. Okay, we saw the second half

547
00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:31,400
of last year, so we know what the potential is.

548
00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:33,960
We saw the first half last year. We knew what

549
00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:37,680
the potential is, and after a slow start, we're seeing

550
00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:43,759
more of the first half recently. Yeah, I don't know.

551
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: I so let me let me tell you some data.

552
00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:47,680
Let me tell you some date.

553
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:50,519
Speaker 2: Not for me, I get.

554
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,119
Speaker 1: Let me tell you some data here. Last year's average

555
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,720
x ZLASI was eighty nine point five. This year it's

556
00:31:56,799 --> 00:31:59,640
jumped up to ninety one point eight. That is significant,

557
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,920
particularly when your launch angles at twenty degrees. Right, I

558
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,720
mean that is a guy that's going to hit thirty

559
00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:09,119
to thirty five home runs. He's fast, I mean ninety

560
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,200
fifth percentile. His strike gut rates a little high, and

561
00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:15,000
it probably is always going to be. But the thing

562
00:32:15,079 --> 00:32:17,920
that was always bothering me was his walk right the

563
00:32:18,039 --> 00:32:21,359
last two seasons five four and a half percent last season,

564
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:25,039
seven point eight this year. And a guy who's only

565
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,039
twenty four years old. I mean, I mean, there is

566
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,519
batting average risk, there is on base percentage risk here,

567
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,160
but we're talking a guy who has stepped it up

568
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,559
as hitting the ball a lot harder with his launch

569
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,440
and his speed. I think just a thirty thirty guy

570
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,279
that might hit two fifty to sixty. I gotta go

571
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,279
with Pete crow Armstrong and I was a peak crow

572
00:32:46,359 --> 00:32:50,279
armstrung coming in as a hater. And I mean, when

573
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:53,920
I'm looking at Timmy is a guy that's really really good.

574
00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:01,559
Speaker 2: Yeah he is right now, I get I'm not fine.

575
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,240
I'm not yeah, I'm not totally convinced. What what could

576
00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:09,920
happen if he can make it through the rest of

577
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,960
the season without going into a two week plus swoon,

578
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,319
like you know, I'll play, Yeah, I'll get I'm being yeah,

579
00:33:23,759 --> 00:33:27,640
if he can go the rest of the season, I'll

580
00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:30,720
even expand on that three weeks, three to four weeks.

581
00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:33,240
If he can go the rest of the season. Hey,

582
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,640
players are going to be hot and players are going

583
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,160
to cool off. I think that's that's just a fact

584
00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:42,839
of the game. But once you go into a swoon

585
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:48,160
where you're cold for like a month, that's a problem

586
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,720
to men.

587
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,759
Speaker 1: But still, if if, if I may, he was still

588
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,119
thirty one thirty five last season for that again this

589
00:33:58,359 --> 00:34:01,440
year with walking a little bit more again to eighty

590
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,480
seven one based percentage last season was disconcerting. But if

591
00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:07,960
it's a three twenty three thirty one based percentage and

592
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:12,039
back to back thirty thirty seasons, I mean, at some point,

593
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,519
don't you have to say it is what it is?

594
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I still yeah, I still have my I

595
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:28,159
still have my my concerns. I do as yeah, and

596
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:35,320
it's yeah, until until we see a little bit more.

597
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,679
I'm going to go on the safe on the safe

598
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,199
side where I perceived to be a save the safety.

599
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: Okay, uh, you're on the CD.

600
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:51,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Yeah. One of the areas that a lot

601
00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:55,800
of my teams have lacked this year is is home runs.

602
00:34:56,159 --> 00:35:00,559
You know, I've got a lot of shares on Michael Bush. Yeah, lady,

603
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:03,440
thanks for number four the other night. I appreciate that.

604
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,639
I was expecting that third week of April.

605
00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:10,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been brutal, Tim. I mean, I haven't been

606
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,360
thinking I traded. Yeah, I gave up a line. I'm thinking, Hey,

607
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:17,199
twenty five thirty one runs at highland base percentage and

608
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,800
it's four. That's the number between three and five to me.

609
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 2: That's four, yeah, four, yeah, exactly. And golf, Okay, it's

610
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,360
a wonderful expression in baseball. If they had to, dude,

611
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,679
and they scored no points, stop with me. Anyways, So

612
00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:34,559
I'm gonna I'm gonna go with a guy that has

613
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:42,199
bounced back after a massive year of injury after injury.

614
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:48,119
Who twenty one, hit thirty three, and then thirty seven

615
00:35:48,119 --> 00:35:50,280
and then thirty one and thirty. He's hit twenty four

616
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,559
homers this year with fifty five RBIs that we're not

617
00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:54,400
halfway through un That's where Dan Alvarez.

618
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,679
Speaker 1: I mean, look, he's like, I don't know if he's

619
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:58,320
the favorite.

620
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,639
Speaker 2: I want the power for MVP.

621
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,119
Speaker 1: But it's it's been, it's been really good. But Conley, Timmy,

622
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:08,119
I mean there is huge you know. I mean you

623
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,199
know the problem, right, it's he couldn't be hurt. I

624
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:11,960
mean it's a stick.

625
00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: But you know what, if you take a look back, Okay,

626
00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:21,639
he could be hurt, but in four, including this year,

627
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:24,519
of the past five years, he hasn't been. And he's

628
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:29,719
a lock for mid thirty home runs with the ceiling

629
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:35,039
being fifty five fifty five plus home runs. I'm gonna

630
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:38,960
give him. Last year was a bad year. If he

631
00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:41,440
would have had problems in the first half of this year,

632
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,039
I'd be a lot more concerned, But he hasn't, and

633
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,800
I think he's if he can stay. I think he's

634
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,400
a lock for forty one to ten with an OVP

635
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:54,480
this year. I think his obp's four hundred plus. That's

636
00:36:54,519 --> 00:36:56,480
a good that's a good ball player.

637
00:36:57,199 --> 00:37:01,199
Speaker 1: Oh, it's great ball. It's a great ball play. It's

638
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,119
just the at the injury risk. Totally get it. I

639
00:37:03,199 --> 00:37:06,519
mean again, we can you said it and we got

640
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:09,840
started off after Bobby Witt and maybe show hey Otani,

641
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,639
I mean, everybody else has got question marks that you

642
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:15,760
can argue for him in that spot, and you can

643
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:23,119
argue for him two rounds later. So I mean, it's yeah, Temmy,

644
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,400
this is painful. I'm on the clock now, and.

645
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: Golly, which which one are you going to pray for?

646
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:31,800
Help for them? It would be the question, Well.

647
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,679
Speaker 1: I mean, here's here's my here's my dilemma. Look, I

648
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,239
hate her arms aren't coming into the season, so everybody

649
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,920
will watch you out. And I felt the same way

650
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,519
about Nick Kurtz ye And I'm wondering if Nick Kurtz

651
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:50,400
is Kyle Schwarber. I mean with speed, well, not a

652
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:57,000
lot of speed, a little bit more speed stolen bases,

653
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:01,559
but who you know, quite frankly is a better hitter.

654
00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:05,159
That's not fair. It makes better contact than Kyle Schwarber.

655
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,639
But this is the guy that let me just read

656
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,719
you some of the stats on on uh.

657
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 2: Go. I'll tell you if you don't take Nick's Nick

658
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,039
Kurtz next, I'm taking him with the pick after if

659
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:18,039
that makes any difference.

660
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: Nick kurtz average ex of velocity is ninety four point

661
00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:26,039
two with a one fifteen point nine max ex. He

662
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,719
has only got a launch of a launch angle of

663
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,079
twelve point six degrees if he adds a little bit

664
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:33,519
to that, and you're talking fifty to sixty home runs,

665
00:38:33,519 --> 00:38:35,280
I mean, it's it's gonna be massive.

666
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: And if he starts, if he starts joking, the man

667
00:38:39,079 --> 00:38:41,159
in that park, hold on, get that.

668
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:44,679
Speaker 1: I think that park. I think that's important. That's important.

669
00:38:44,679 --> 00:38:48,000
He's playing half as half his games and a launching pack.

670
00:38:48,519 --> 00:38:50,559
By the way, my buddy cage jump. I know it

671
00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:53,599
was the Angels. Him looked really good last night, so.

672
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:57,039
Speaker 2: He did look good. Yes, I agree, Nick Kurtz.

673
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: Is walking twenty percent of the times.

674
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 2: Bendery and Fi. That twenty percent is because pitchers don't

675
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,239
want to throw them anything. Probably, I wonder what his

676
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,320
intentional walk rate is. Yeah, they're not given they're not

677
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,400
giving him stuff to hit. And what's nice about that

678
00:39:14,559 --> 00:39:16,400
walk rate is they're not giving him stuff to hit

679
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,920
and he's saying, okay, I'll take it. He's not trying

680
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,960
to force the issue in swinging wildly out of his

681
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:26,239
own you know, chasing pitches right right, That's that's mature bad,

682
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,679
isn't it.

683
00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: It's yes, all the all of the above. I mean,

684
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,320
the only thing that I mean there is swing and

685
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,360
miss in this game. It's come down a little bit

686
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,840
this season. But there is batting average risk. I mean,

687
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,920
if we take a look at this babbit, it's probably

688
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,719
sky high, but it's babbittist three ninety two, so that's

689
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,320
batting average. One Batting average is not real, so it

690
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,400
could be. It could be Kyle Schwarber of a two

691
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,480
forty fifty with fifty plus home runs, and you say, well,

692
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:58,800
why not just take Kyle Schwarber at that spot. That's fair,

693
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,239
But maybe you go with the youth and a little

694
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,559
bit of more athleticism at this juncture and you get

695
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:07,599
the ten stolen basis, which puts him over Kyle Schwarper

696
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:10,559
for me. So I'm gonna take the batting average risk

697
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,920
with Nick Kurtz. Come back with some batting average in

698
00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:17,360
the second and third round, and I'm going Nick Kirks

699
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,519
with the tenth overall pick.

700
00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:23,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problems at all with that, none whatsoever. Like

701
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:25,599
I said I would, I would have taken him next

702
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:26,719
ed you're not taken him.

703
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,039
Speaker 1: You're on the clock, my friend.

704
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:35,559
Speaker 2: I'm going boring Rich. Hey, he's dealing with the hand

705
00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:40,880
that hammied. Sorry, lousy fun. I gotta go with Jose Ramires.

706
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:43,920
I'll take them eleven. I think I think there's still

707
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:47,400
twenty home runs, thirty thirty vi strolen bases in there,

708
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,559
with a good average, lots of run scored. Jose Ramirez

709
00:40:51,639 --> 00:40:55,159
is gonna fall, but as he falls, I think there's

710
00:40:55,199 --> 00:40:58,800
a potential for some nice rewards towards the middle middle

711
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,519
back of that first round.

712
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: I agree with you, all right. I'm debating between two players.

713
00:41:10,559 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I think I know what one of them is.

714
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: I hate O'Neil Cruz, always have. He just doesn't hit.

715
00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:19,679
I like guys that can hit. But he's got fourteen

716
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,400
home runs and twenty one stolen bases. Few hit the

717
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,480
ball harder than him, fewer faster than him. If he

718
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:29,119
can stay healthy, which he's been mostly healthy. It's this

719
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,800
is kind of an anomaly on This is a twenty

720
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,559
five to twenty five guy with some batting average risk.

721
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,360
I'm debating between him in my game, Ben Rice, which

722
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,800
you get a guy that plays full time, assuming Aaron

723
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,679
Judge does an Aaron Boone doesn't decide to platoon him,

724
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,920
and you get catch your eligibility.

725
00:41:54,159 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: No you don't.

726
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: We're still gonna be catching eligibility going forward.

727
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: No, he hasn't got he hasn't got any games this

728
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:02,440
year yet.

729
00:42:03,079 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: Oh really, Okay, let me just verify that.

730
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I took a look at it because

731
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,840
I've got him. I've got him in the first round.

732
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,000
I've got memories in the first round as well, and

733
00:42:15,079 --> 00:42:16,519
I was just double jacking.

734
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, forty two at first base and twenty five, So

735
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:26,559
you don't then that leans me to that leads me

736
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,119
to O'Neil Cruz.

737
00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

738
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm taking guys that I don't like so far.

739
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,360
I don't like let's see pe Crow Armstrong, I don't

740
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,199
really like Nick Kurtz because they're all flawed, and I'm

741
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,480
not sure I really like O'Neil Cruz. But I mean

742
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,480
it is what it is. I mean, these guys have

743
00:42:47,559 --> 00:42:51,400
been fantastic. It's speed and speed and power in O'Neil's

744
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,840
cruisees case. Same with pee Crow Armstrong and massive powered

745
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,320
Nick Kurtz. And I'm just gonna deal with the batting

746
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,079
average risk.

747
00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. Well, what I'm finding is interesting

748
00:43:03,159 --> 00:43:05,079
with the two of us going back and forth, here

749
00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:07,440
is you picked two players I didn't have on my

750
00:43:07,559 --> 00:43:10,000
list he didn't have, which.

751
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: I find past Nick Kurtz or O'Neil Cruz.

752
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,079
Speaker 2: No Pete Crow Armstrong and O'Neil Cruz. I didn't have

753
00:43:16,159 --> 00:43:19,880
either one of them on my list, which is I

754
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,920
don't know if it's an overlook on my part, but

755
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,000
I did have Ben Rice. I It's uh, it's just

756
00:43:27,159 --> 00:43:30,880
interesting because I think where that where that identifies is

757
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,480
the fact that there's a whole bunch of players after

758
00:43:33,599 --> 00:43:37,559
the top three to four picks that you can argue

759
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:40,920
for and against very very easily. And the option you

760
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,119
know what I mean, your your options are such like

761
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,960
I I've I've got a guy who's who's consistently been

762
00:43:49,079 --> 00:43:52,280
a top ten pick that I'm not touching in the

763
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,639
first round. Well, and that's Ronald pun Jr.

764
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to talk about it. We have a

765
00:43:57,159 --> 00:44:02,360
whole section on Himah yeah. But it's funny because when

766
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,159
Tim does the rankings, and the question I always ask

767
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,599
Tim is like, who's going to fall? Who's not going

768
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:10,119
to be in the top ten that was there in

769
00:44:10,199 --> 00:44:11,800
the top ten last year. If we take a look

770
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,480
at last season's top fifteen, I already went to a

771
00:44:15,599 --> 00:44:20,280
tiny judge wit Soda Ramirez. They're probably first round draft

772
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,960
picks next season. Correct, Yes, Ronald Cony is at six,

773
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:33,119
Scooble probably is, Julio Rodriguez, Corbyn, Carroll Crochet, Fernando Tantis

774
00:44:33,159 --> 00:44:37,159
Junior definitely not at thirteen. Henderson definitely not. Kyle Tucker

775
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,480
has been not very good this season at.

776
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:44,199
Speaker 2: Fifteen seven home runs. Yeah, no, that's no alo.

777
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:47,559
Speaker 1: We seeing a lot of turnover here in the first round.

778
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, and there are there's there's some tough picks

779
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
in that first round. I've still got two or three

780
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:04,440
kids that are going to be somewhere around the wheel

781
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:09,480
and it's it's gonna be fascinating. We're going to see

782
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,119
it very different. I think first round next.

783
00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 1: Year, Timmy around the clock, thirteen, who you got.

784
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:21,559
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't, I can't pass. So he's not having

785
00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:24,559
the best of years, but considering he started off with

786
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:28,079
an ERA of about seventy or eighty after opening day,

787
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:36,119
I still think right now he is Paul, Yeah, the

788
00:45:36,199 --> 00:45:41,800
safest picture out there to come in next year with

789
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:47,199
an ERA under three with Messa strikeouts and he's just

790
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,000
a really good picture. I've got Paul Skeins is my

791
00:45:50,119 --> 00:45:53,599
number two right now behind Miserowski and could you have

792
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,800
one right Yeah, I got Miserowskie one and I've got

793
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,239
Skeens too. The guy that I don't have in the

794
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,400
first round is Schooble?

795
00:46:02,119 --> 00:46:02,679
Speaker 1: Really? Why not?

796
00:46:05,679 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

797
00:46:06,119 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: Superman? Superman? Yeah, he had an elbow surgery. Is back

798
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,159
in three weeks, four weeks.

799
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. How old is to Reek Schoogle.

800
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to say thirty thirty one?

801
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's going to be changing locales. I like

802
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,360
to Reek Schooble, but I'm not going to draft him

803
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,599
in the first round. Next year he's twenty.

804
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,559
Speaker 1: He'll be thirty in November.

805
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I like to Reek Schooble, but I won't

806
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,960
pick him, and I'll pick ball schemes ahead of him

807
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,519
and go with the youth and upside.

808
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: You can't be more wrong. I'm on the clock, Trek Scuoble. Yes,

809
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,519
what's your next question? Okay, Okay, there we go.

810
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,039
Speaker 2: You know that. Yeah, I mean, Kim, you suck.

811
00:46:55,199 --> 00:46:59,559
Speaker 1: Okay, No, No, I mean, I totally, I totally get

812
00:47:00,159 --> 00:47:03,280
from I mean, it's it's it's the arguments again. We

813
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,800
can make arguments back and forth on this, but you

814
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,920
take it out. There's remarkable pictures. I mean, Cam Schlitzler,

815
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,360
Tim One eighty two ear a striking out over a

816
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,079
battern inning on a really good baseball team. You have

817
00:47:17,199 --> 00:47:19,159
to believe Scooba is going to be in a good

818
00:47:19,199 --> 00:47:21,800
baseball team. He's not going back to the Tigers, probably

819
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,559
go to the Dodgers or somebody like that. Yeah, but

820
00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:28,199
pretty much Schlitder Scott seven wins, he's he's on pace

821
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,079
for fifteen to eighteen wins and a you know what

822
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,719
is that going to be? One hundred and seventy five

823
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,760
one hundred and eighty strikeouts in a low e ray.

824
00:47:38,639 --> 00:47:40,039
I mean, that guy's been amazing.

825
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, you take him ahead of Yamamoto.

826
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,079
Speaker 1: I think you take Yamamoto because of this of the

827
00:47:48,199 --> 00:47:51,880
security there. But Schlittler is really good.

828
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah he is. I I've got the second round. My

829
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,599
early thoughts are the second round will be filled with

830
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:05,599
pitch and good but it's not gonna lie. It's not

831
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,360
gonna last. I think, Yeah, we're we're gonna see you

832
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,880
know you should there's Amamotos. They're gonna all be gone

833
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,480
in the second round. Early. That's my that's my early.

834
00:48:18,559 --> 00:48:20,599
Speaker 1: Let's set it up for Tim's last pick. Bobby with

835
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,920
Junior show, Hey, tani wan So to James Wood, Aaron Judge,

836
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:29,000
Ellie Dealer, Cruz, Jacob Miserawski, Tim stretching on the Misserraskie

837
00:48:29,039 --> 00:48:33,000
Great Pick, Pete Crow, Armstrong, Jordan Alvarez, Nick Kurtz still

838
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,480
don't know about that one, but he went anyway, Jose

839
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,679
Ramirez and Neil Kruz, Paul Skins, Trek Scooble. And the

840
00:48:40,599 --> 00:48:42,360
first pick on the wheel is.

841
00:48:42,559 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 2: Who, uh, it's just the wheeler? Is this the fourteen?

842
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:51,559
Speaker 1: This is fifteen? This is fifteen. Oh, if you'd have

843
00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:54,199
been paying attention to me, I went one through fourteen.

844
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna give you. I'm going pick go ahead.

845
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,400
I I was gonna say, I didn't break up my

846
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:09,800
advocates for this exercise. Apparently, if I was picking at

847
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:16,719
the wheel and it shook down in this sort of configuration,

848
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:21,079
more or less, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with

849
00:49:21,519 --> 00:49:22,599
Corbyn Carrol.

850
00:49:25,559 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: Hey for good.

851
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know he had you know, he had the

852
00:49:31,039 --> 00:49:33,960
injury to start the season off or whatever. And I

853
00:49:34,519 --> 00:49:40,320
think you know, you look at his history, Okay, I

854
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,239
think you're looking at fifty I think you're looking at

855
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,599
twenty to twenty five home runs, and I think you're

856
00:49:45,639 --> 00:49:47,920
looking at thirty stolen bases in the bank with a

857
00:49:48,159 --> 00:49:52,960
good batting average, solid OVP in the three sixty three

858
00:49:53,039 --> 00:49:56,559
seventy range. He's the type of guy that would the

859
00:49:56,679 --> 00:50:00,800
power speed. I wouldn't let him fall in the second round.

860
00:50:01,199 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: That's fair. Yeah, I agree. I mean everything looks really

861
00:50:06,039 --> 00:50:10,000
good with him. It's league average strikeout rates, league average

862
00:50:10,039 --> 00:50:15,280
walk rates slightly above walk rates, and nile on speed,

863
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,199
and he hits the ball really hard for a guy

864
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,920
that's not very big. It's really impressive.

865
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 2: Grip it and rip it.

866
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a it's a great pick.

867
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:29,239
And if people stretch for like a Nick Kurtz, that's

868
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,199
probably going to allow Corbyn Carroll to fall, or if

869
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,960
you get a people that are going heavy with pitching

870
00:50:35,039 --> 00:50:37,800
in the first round, Corbyn Carroll could fall.

871
00:50:39,199 --> 00:50:42,039
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's I think it's very real.

872
00:50:42,639 --> 00:50:45,519
Speaker 1: You want a bonus pick, you're gotta take a bonus pick.

873
00:50:45,519 --> 00:50:48,800
You're gonna take the second pick on the wheel.

874
00:50:50,159 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: Well, are you want to take it? It's your turn

875
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:54,119
and you get.

876
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,559
Speaker 1: Let's see, let me let me go back. So painful

877
00:50:57,599 --> 00:50:59,159
to do this, and.

878
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 2: Then I'll tell you who I'll tell you after if

879
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,360
you don't pick the guy that I pick. I'll tell you.

880
00:51:03,559 --> 00:51:08,360
I'll tell you who I who I grab. It would

881
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,400
be my It would be a dream, a dream pairing

882
00:51:10,519 --> 00:51:12,920
based on where I've seen happen to my teams this year.

883
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Holy Rorigas having a pretty good season.

884
00:51:19,159 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.

885
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: Let me let me take a look here, Holy, I

886
00:51:25,079 --> 00:51:27,480
would say, let me just before I say Huli Rodrigas.

887
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:32,199
I just want to see what we're doing. Heres is

888
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:37,239
thirteen and nine, two forty one batting average. But it's

889
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,360
a little depressed that he's still hitting the ball really,

890
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,360
really hard. I'm going with Hilio Rodriguez.

891
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine picking. Yeah, that gives you, It gives

892
00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:47,360
you power and speed. I would have went with Kyle

893
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,800
Schwarber and fun for the big home home run with

894
00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:55,599
pairing him up with Carol Yeah, home run speed. And

895
00:51:55,639 --> 00:51:58,000
I would have said, Okay, my next two picks will

896
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:04,159
both be pitching. Yeah, and I'll I'll forgive you mobile.

897
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,639
I'll have as on the Schlitlers and Yama Motors of

898
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,440
the world and try and try and find some of

899
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,599
the mid tier pitching. But you know, when you look

900
00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:19,239
at this list, Yeah, Donald Cuna Jr. Is still sitting there.

901
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,920
Ben Rice is there. You want young players. I think

902
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,360
it's a bit early for McGonagall, But if he tears

903
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,840
it up in the second half, Mcgonagall's ands.

904
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,199
Speaker 1: Not so much power though.

905
00:52:31,079 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sal Stewart's interesting. Yeah, there's a lot of there's

906
00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:39,719
a lot of picks pending what happens in the next

907
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,280
couple of months that could slide up, could slide down.

908
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:50,280
But it's fascinating. It really is as to the as

909
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:54,039
as to the options that are available. And you know,

910
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,079
if you don't get one of the big five top

911
00:52:57,559 --> 00:53:00,880
i'll say top ten pitchers, then where do you go?

912
00:53:02,119 --> 00:53:04,599
You you know, this year so far we've been proving

913
00:53:04,679 --> 00:53:07,159
wrong and that we're getting guys coming out of nowhere.

914
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,039
You go with young pitchers and cross your fingers we

915
00:53:11,079 --> 00:53:14,159
see a repeated this year. Did the older veterans bounce

916
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,480
back and move up the board. There's just so many questions.

917
00:53:17,599 --> 00:53:20,519
Speaker 1: You have to hope that Hunter Browns drops to the

918
00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:23,000
fourth round and you can grab them because everybody's going

919
00:53:23,039 --> 00:53:25,239
to be on the young guys. I mean that that

920
00:53:25,679 --> 00:53:28,679
might that would be a my guy. Early. Urie Perez's

921
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,639
coming back right, he had a rehab start maybe he's

922
00:53:32,679 --> 00:53:35,280
a guy that gets suppressed and because everybody else is

923
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:40,320
moving up. But you know, the schlittler's the chase burns.

924
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:41,400
Somebody's gonna get hurt.

925
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they've all got most of them have got

926
00:53:46,519 --> 00:53:49,320
hurt this year. So yeah, it's it's a tough decision.

927
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,039
You go safe with the bats, but then the bats

928
00:53:52,119 --> 00:53:54,400
been getting hurt, so like I mean, there's no such

929
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,679
is there any such thing other than one solo for

930
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,119
the most part, and Bobby, they are safe, No, none

931
00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:01,800
of them are. Really.

932
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,639
Speaker 1: Let's take a break, Timmy come back fun exercise, and

933
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,039
let's talk Ronald 'cunya why he didn't go in the

934
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:21,039
first round. My old school, Timmy, I stole used Rota

935
00:54:21,079 --> 00:54:25,159
Ward And there was a global in Ronal d'cunya and

936
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,280
an excerpt from Walt Weiss saying he is a long

937
00:54:29,639 --> 00:54:34,519
way from returning. And i'd said, wow, Ronald Acunya, I said,

938
00:54:34,599 --> 00:54:37,559
let me take a look at his injury history. Here.

939
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,000
He played eighty two games in twenty twenty one, one

940
00:54:41,079 --> 00:54:45,039
hundred and nineteen and twenty two, fifty nine and twenty three,

941
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:49,480
forty nine, twenty four, ninety five and twenty five and

942
00:54:49,559 --> 00:54:52,000
so far as sixty four games. If you add all

943
00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:55,280
of that up, that is forty percent of the games

944
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,800
Ronald Acune has played in, not Timmy, in not two years,

945
00:55:00,159 --> 00:55:03,800
the last five years. So my question to you is

946
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,599
why are people still taking this guy in the first

947
00:55:05,679 --> 00:55:08,000
round and how is he any different than Byron Buxton.

948
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: He isn't. Except for twenty twenty three, he played more

949
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,599
than fifty nine games. I can't. He's got two years.

950
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: I meant to say one hundred and fifty nine. I'm sorry,

951
00:55:18,039 --> 00:55:19,039
one hundred fifty nine.

952
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Other than two years, okay, and you can,

953
00:55:27,119 --> 00:55:30,239
you can. You can look at look at look at

954
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,239
the numbers, clear as a bell, other than two years

955
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:36,039
twenty nineteen okay, where he hit forty one homers and

956
00:55:36,119 --> 00:55:41,119
still goal thirty seven bases and twenty twenty three, which

957
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,840
was monstrous, where he hit forty one homers and stole

958
00:55:45,039 --> 00:55:48,440
seventy three bases scored one hundred and forty nine runs.

959
00:55:48,679 --> 00:55:52,920
Other than those two years, it's been a tale of disappointment.

960
00:55:53,079 --> 00:55:55,679
And those are the only two things you're missing is

961
00:55:55,760 --> 00:56:00,480
twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three, and the a that

962
00:56:00,599 --> 00:56:05,440
he can repeat at that level and get in one

963
00:56:05,519 --> 00:56:08,599
hundred and fifty games. Well, I be drafting Ronald Cunia

964
00:56:08,679 --> 00:56:11,599
next year. No, he's on my do not touch list.

965
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,840
I just you look at the numbers. He's fallen into

966
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,920
the same category for me now as Byron bucks Fork.

967
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, the same guy.

968
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:26,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, high high, incredibly high risk. Now the rewards can

969
00:56:26,199 --> 00:56:30,239
be absolutely huge, But do I want to base my

970
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:35,360
full season on that level of risk? And you would

971
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:40,159
be drafting him, you know, early, early in the second

972
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,559
or late in the first. That's just way too much risk.

973
00:56:43,679 --> 00:56:48,480
I've got to stay away. And yeah, hey, you gotta

974
00:56:48,519 --> 00:56:50,840
go with You got to go with with what the

975
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,159
reality of the situation is. Yeah, do you want Byron

976
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:55,960
Bucks And yeah, he's had a couple of good years

977
00:56:56,039 --> 00:56:58,599
now after a run of what eight seven or eight

978
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:04,360
years of disppointment. You got to take the odds on

979
00:57:04,519 --> 00:57:07,519
the disappointment as compared to the odds on success.

980
00:57:07,639 --> 00:57:11,039
Speaker 1: Right now, I think with Yeah, I don't know if

981
00:57:11,079 --> 00:57:15,920
Akunya's his injury woes have caused him to his exit.

982
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,159
Velocity is down ninety two point seven and twenty five

983
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:24,159
ninety point one this season, so I mean, I don't

984
00:57:24,239 --> 00:57:26,119
I mean, he is twenty eight, so you wouldn't expect

985
00:57:26,159 --> 00:57:28,960
any kind of any kind of fall off for age yet.

986
00:57:29,639 --> 00:57:34,280
But I don't know. I just speed sprint speed's at

987
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,880
fifty one percentile. So he's no longer the seventy stolen

988
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,119
base guy. He just isn't. He's more of a twenty

989
00:57:40,239 --> 00:57:43,559
five kindstole but is still really really good. But all

990
00:57:43,599 --> 00:57:45,440
of a sudden you start to take a look at

991
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,199
the risk that all the injuries are tallying up, and

992
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,320
then it's you know, with the skill, particularly the speed

993
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,679
starting to degrade a little bit, you go, why am

994
00:57:53,719 --> 00:57:56,000
I going to take that risk? And so I think

995
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:56,880
he's a blass for me.

996
00:57:58,239 --> 00:58:01,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you're looking at it at bad total so far.

997
00:58:01,639 --> 00:58:04,400
Assuming he gets in six hundred, okay, which he did

998
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,079
in those two great years, since then, he hasn't exceeded

999
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,480
five hundred in the season. If you take what he's

1000
00:58:11,559 --> 00:58:15,280
done this year, okay, extrapolated over a full season, you're

1001
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,960
looking at a twenty home run, forty five stolen based

1002
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,159
type player, which is a first round pick. But when

1003
00:58:24,199 --> 00:58:29,000
you put the mitigating factor of he's only had two

1004
00:58:29,519 --> 00:58:34,559
full seasons out of the past eight, No, that's that's

1005
00:58:34,599 --> 00:58:35,239
a pass for me.

1006
00:58:36,559 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: I think we're in violent the agreement. And you know, look,

1007
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,039
if you decide the next season to take him early

1008
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:44,400
in the second round because it's Ronica to get it,

1009
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:46,639
I get it. And you can win a league that way.

1010
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,800
But you know, it's just you're just you know, you're

1011
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,599
just guessing. You're guessing at that juncture.

1012
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're you're doing do the same thing you

1013
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,559
did with Byron Buckston. You're crossing your fingers and you're

1014
00:58:59,559 --> 00:59:03,199
hoping things. That's right, Yeah, against the odds. Yeah.

1015
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: Well, I got a lot more topics, Timmy, but we're

1016
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,159
starting to run out of time, so I'm just going

1017
00:59:07,199 --> 00:59:09,199
to go one more before you get your hitter and

1018
00:59:09,239 --> 00:59:14,280
your pitcher. And that is the situation with Seattle. I

1019
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,599
don't know if you've been following it. They're up to

1020
00:59:16,679 --> 00:59:20,719
a six man rotation, but now they're doing piggybacking, which

1021
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,199
is they take one of the starters, they give them

1022
00:59:23,239 --> 00:59:25,360
the first four or five innings, and then they put

1023
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,840
the other starter to pitch the last four or five innings.

1024
00:59:29,239 --> 00:59:32,000
But it looks like it's more four to four closer, right,

1025
00:59:32,079 --> 00:59:33,039
four four and one.

1026
00:59:34,159 --> 00:59:34,239
Speaker 2: And.

1027
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean I get it, Timmy. They've got great pitching

1028
00:59:38,599 --> 00:59:41,360
in there a major league rotation, and then they've got

1029
00:59:41,519 --> 00:59:45,000
Ryan Sloan and Kate Anderson both can probably pitch in

1030
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:49,880
twenty nine other rotations already, and they're just sitting wait

1031
00:59:50,039 --> 00:59:54,000
to come up. First of all, what do you think

1032
00:59:54,159 --> 00:59:58,440
about this piggyback six man rotation that is evolving there?

1033
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,800
And how do you manage it as a fantasy manager?

1034
01:00:04,599 --> 01:00:08,199
Speaker 2: I don't like it. I am taking the Luis Castillo

1035
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,280
approach to this piggybacking, and he didn't like it either,

1036
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:17,760
not one bit. I think the easiest way. Yeah. Like

1037
01:00:18,639 --> 01:00:21,599
looking last night Brian Woolfich and he has had an

1038
01:00:21,719 --> 01:00:25,840
up and down season. Okay, On the May thirtieth, okay,

1039
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,719
he tossed seven innings of shutout ball. His next two outings,

1040
01:00:29,719 --> 01:00:32,800
he allowed twelve earned runs. Last night against Baltimore, he

1041
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,719
shut them down on three hits over seven innings for

1042
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,440
the walk nine case. How was Brian Wigan to feel

1043
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,400
about piggybacking. He's gonna be ticked. I think it's gonna

1044
01:00:42,079 --> 01:00:46,119
cause way more problems than it's ever gonna solve, and

1045
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,360
I don't think it's gonna work. I think what the

1046
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,360
Mariners have to do is they have to find a

1047
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:56,159
way to move Louis Castillo and George Kirby, possibly even

1048
01:00:56,199 --> 01:00:59,800
Bryce Miller. Makes some trades for bats, get them off

1049
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,360
and then start bringing then then look at bringing Sloan

1050
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,639
and Kate Anderson into the mix, because I just don't

1051
01:01:06,679 --> 01:01:09,480
think this piggy back thing is going to be received

1052
01:01:09,519 --> 01:01:12,360
well by the pitchers. And if it's not received well,

1053
01:01:12,519 --> 01:01:15,760
we know what the results are gonna be. Right, Yeah, yeah,

1054
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,679
it's gonna be tough. So trade trade some of your

1055
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,119
pitching seattle for some offense and bring those kids up.

1056
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: I think for fantasy managers this it makes it too

1057
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,679
hard because you're set your lineups and you're you're I

1058
01:01:29,719 --> 01:01:31,519
don't know about you, but I look at the guy's

1059
01:01:31,559 --> 01:01:34,639
got a little starting notation next to him. I go, okay,

1060
01:01:34,719 --> 01:01:37,159
starting this, look, I'm gonna put him in. Now you're

1061
01:01:37,199 --> 01:01:39,360
gonna see a guy that doesn't have you see Bryce

1062
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:43,679
Miller knows starting uh designation, but he's really going to

1063
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,079
get an opportunity to win the game because he's coming

1064
01:01:47,159 --> 01:01:49,320
in in the fifth inning. And then you threw in

1065
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,960
I don't know, pick another guy, Brian wu who starts

1066
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,960
and goes for innings, and I mean it's good. You're

1067
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,000
gonna have to actually start to really dig into this

1068
01:01:58,159 --> 01:02:00,480
to see what's actually going on. I just that takes

1069
01:02:00,519 --> 01:02:02,159
too much time and people aren't going to do it.

1070
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,079
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, not only the time factor, but all of

1071
01:02:06,119 --> 01:02:10,159
a sudden. Okay, you know you're saying you're your first

1072
01:02:10,159 --> 01:02:12,320
guy's gonna go one to four. Okay, Well, if he's

1073
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,320
allowed two hits, he's got to shut out through four

1074
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,360
innings that he can automatically ank him. No, they'll keep

1075
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,280
them in there for another in then you'll then you'll

1076
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,199
have the guy following you were counting on the win,

1077
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:26,519
fighting for a save that's right, and hoping he goes

1078
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,679
a full four innings, okay or three innings afterwards. It's

1079
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,360
gonna it's gonna be a night there. I don't think

1080
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,400
it's gonna wash. I don't think it's gonna work, and

1081
01:02:38,239 --> 01:02:41,039
I'm I'm just gonna see how things shake down. But

1082
01:02:41,119 --> 01:02:43,280
what I think See had last to do is trade

1083
01:02:43,679 --> 01:02:46,519
some of that pitching. You don't trade Wu and you

1084
01:02:46,599 --> 01:02:52,920
don't trade Logan Gilbert. But other than those two, move

1085
01:02:53,039 --> 01:02:56,000
two of the next three for some offense. Because your

1086
01:02:56,079 --> 01:02:59,960
offense is dreadful at best, you need a big back

1087
01:03:00,599 --> 01:03:03,119
and pitching will get you that bad oh yeah, so

1088
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:07,360
wh yeah, so move move the pitching and gets Sloan

1089
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,559
and Anderson into the rodation in a way, you go.

1090
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,559
Speaker 1: Totally agree with you. It's funny. This piggybacking happens all

1091
01:03:13,599 --> 01:03:16,440
the time in the minor leagues when nobody cares about

1092
01:03:16,559 --> 01:03:20,440
wins and losses, and and nobody's playing fantasy baseball, nobody's

1093
01:03:20,519 --> 01:03:23,000
betting on these guys. It's it's just it's the minor

1094
01:03:23,079 --> 01:03:27,320
leagues and nobody really cares, and it's like, so it

1095
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,360
works well from a developmental standpoint. It works well because

1096
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,320
you're you're able to get guys in for four or five,

1097
01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:35,639
But when it matters in the major leagues, it's not

1098
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,239
something I think it's sustainable. I totally agree with you.

1099
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,039
Speaker 2: To be a singer final broak, Hey you're going to

1100
01:03:43,079 --> 01:03:45,800
I was just gonna see you got Lois Louis Castillo

1101
01:03:46,039 --> 01:03:49,159
or yeah, or Brian wu with one hundred and seventy

1102
01:03:49,199 --> 01:03:52,239
innings under ninety strake oats and two wins in three saves.

1103
01:03:52,599 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean the one thing that I don't

1104
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,360
know if we can prove or not until it's actually done,

1105
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,800
is does it save these pictures? And if you're the scattle,

1106
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,119
they're going to go, wait, we don't give a rats

1107
01:04:06,159 --> 01:04:10,079
ass about fantasy Baseball and betters and who can or

1108
01:04:10,159 --> 01:04:12,599
even what the pictures say. If we get to the

1109
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,519
postseason and we're healthy and then all of a sudden,

1110
01:04:16,559 --> 01:04:19,760
we have our pick of the litter to put whatever

1111
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:23,320
picture we want in we want. We think the matchup

1112
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,960
is perfect for Brian wo so we started in game two. No,

1113
01:04:26,119 --> 01:04:29,360
we think that the matchups are perfect for Bryce Miller.

1114
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:30,639
We put him in there, and it gives us all

1115
01:04:30,679 --> 01:04:33,280
the flexibility. This is just what we're gonna do. I

1116
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:34,559
get that argument as well.

1117
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,519
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, no, it's a legitimate argument. But at some

1118
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,880
point in time, pictures are going to say, you know,

1119
01:04:42,039 --> 01:04:44,159
I am playing for a contract. I think my agent

1120
01:04:44,199 --> 01:04:46,960
should probably talk to you. You know what I mean.

1121
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:53,039
You know, I don't think it's gonna I get what

1122
01:04:53,119 --> 01:04:55,119
you're saying. It makes it, and it does. There's a

1123
01:04:55,199 --> 01:04:58,119
semblance of sense in there. But at the same point

1124
01:04:58,119 --> 01:05:00,559
in time, you know, these players are playing for contracts.

1125
01:05:00,599 --> 01:05:04,400
I know the team's don't really you know, but the

1126
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,119
players care. You're two years away from free agency. And

1127
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:13,960
you're a long guy because you're taking one for the team. Well,

1128
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,000
when it comes time for the new contract, is the

1129
01:05:17,079 --> 01:05:19,159
team going to take one for the player. No, they'll

1130
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,079
use those numbers and say, oh, you're worth acts instead

1131
01:05:22,119 --> 01:05:22,840
of why right.

1132
01:05:24,119 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Totally agree with you, Timmy, let's take let's take our

1133
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,800
final break and come back and see what Tim's gonna

1134
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:44,920
pick up. Many people just rip through the They fast

1135
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,159
forward through the podcast to get to this segment. They

1136
01:05:47,239 --> 01:05:49,199
just care about who you're picking up. Give me the

1137
01:05:49,239 --> 01:05:51,039
two guys, Send me the hitter and the picture that

1138
01:05:51,159 --> 01:05:53,320
you are focusing on for this weekend.

1139
01:05:55,079 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 2: Well, what's really interesting with both the hitter and the pitcher? Okay,

1140
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,920
is there both from the same team and they are

1141
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:10,840
both rostered to the same level in CBS. Isn't that

1142
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:11,599
a coincidence?

1143
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the same guy.

1144
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 2: No, there is no show a Prett in the Milwaukee system,

1145
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,800
but there is a Cooper Pratt, and I like what

1146
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,920
he did at triple a six home run, sixteen stolen

1147
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,239
bases so far, so good to strike out to walk

1148
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,000
right in the minus thirty seven thirty four and that

1149
01:06:34,199 --> 01:06:38,159
twenty four percent roster says there's an opportunity, So I

1150
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,960
gotta go with Cooper Prett of the Milwaukee Brewers.

1151
01:06:43,119 --> 01:06:45,079
Speaker 1: Kind of figured that's who you would go for with

1152
01:06:45,239 --> 01:06:49,639
your I actually think there's he's going to be more

1153
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,079
of a better real life player because he can really put,

1154
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,599
can really play defense, and is a great hitter. So

1155
01:06:57,679 --> 01:07:01,360
there's a little bit of Kevin McGonagall in there. I

1156
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,480
think mcgonaga's probably got more potential power that mcgonagall's not

1157
01:07:04,559 --> 01:07:07,320
showing it yet. And Pratt's got a little bit more

1158
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,159
speed than McGonagall does, even though mcgonaga's got a lot

1159
01:07:10,199 --> 01:07:12,719
stole the basis. But I think if you look fundamentally

1160
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:16,440
at the player, they're both going to be really great

1161
01:07:16,599 --> 01:07:19,119
real life players. How good of fantasy players are they

1162
01:07:19,159 --> 01:07:22,360
going to be good? Probably elite, I don't know, but

1163
01:07:22,679 --> 01:07:24,840
it's it's a great it's a great call. I mean,

1164
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,679
he's out there and he's going to get a chance

1165
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:28,079
to play.

1166
01:07:29,639 --> 01:07:33,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, I'm excited to see what you can

1167
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,039
what you can string together. And yeah, as you mentioned,

1168
01:07:37,079 --> 01:07:40,639
you know Nikos now gone and Joey Orgiz I don't

1169
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,599
think is going to be a full time player. You know,

1170
01:07:43,719 --> 01:07:47,559
the Brewers are Tizition some of these young kids. We're

1171
01:07:47,559 --> 01:07:50,559
going to see Lara before the summer is over, Okay,

1172
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,760
I think that's a given. Yeah, And you know they're

1173
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,760
trans They've got a good team already, and transitioning these

1174
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,800
young players in and adding them to that lineup only

1175
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:06,719
makes them a better team. Milwaukee could have a nice

1176
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,400
run in the playoffs this year. They really could. I

1177
01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:10,559
like what the Brewers are doing.

1178
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they still got depth, Tommy, I mean they

1179
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,800
still got Yeah, And I don't think my day is

1180
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,880
going to be up. But Jet is still in the

1181
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,000
minor leagues, so there's something set there. I don't think

1182
01:08:23,039 --> 01:08:24,680
he's having a very good season, at least haven't written

1183
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,199
about him very much, so that might mean he's either

1184
01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:30,359
injured or not having a great season. But they still

1185
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,920
have depth there. So I'm gonna say, your picture is

1186
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:33,840
it Robert Casser.

1187
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 2: No, it's a former relief pitcher. I searched high and

1188
01:08:41,039 --> 01:08:45,680
lower pitching and it sucks. Really the options available are

1189
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:50,880
not great. Okay, then that's probably not great. As being kind,

1190
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:57,439
I'm going with Shane Drohan. Oh jeez, okay, yeah, yeah,

1191
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,800
twenty four. There's a reason I only had one picture.

1192
01:09:01,359 --> 01:09:05,079
Jay Ritchie last week and he got smoked in his outing.

1193
01:09:05,319 --> 01:09:08,720
So I'm going with Drohan three fifteen ninety are one

1194
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,920
seventeen web strikeout r inning. He was, he was a

1195
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,960
reliever up until I think four outings ago. Okay. They

1196
01:09:15,039 --> 01:09:19,560
moved him into the rotation and he's pitching well. Okay,

1197
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,359
and he's one of the few few pitchers you're going

1198
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:25,319
to see in my way. We were articled in this

1199
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:29,560
week because the options. You know, you look at Philadelphia, Okay,

1200
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:34,840
they did the obvious with Andrew Painter, but I went

1201
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,720
through and tore their system apart last night looking for pitching.

1202
01:09:39,079 --> 01:09:45,439
There ain't any. It's yeah, hey, their their big move

1203
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,079
was signing with Cody Allard. He's he's the guy that

1204
01:09:49,159 --> 01:09:50,640
they're looking at. I think.

1205
01:09:52,279 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 1: Prospect, Yeah yeah, yeah.

1206
01:09:55,760 --> 01:10:01,560
Speaker 2: He's been around forever and it's Kolby Allard. Right, So

1207
01:10:02,359 --> 01:10:06,199
that's the I can't am I gonna recommend, No, I'm

1208
01:10:06,239 --> 01:10:09,359
not gonna no. So I don't know what the Phillies

1209
01:10:09,359 --> 01:10:11,079
are gonna do with that mess, but they need to

1210
01:10:11,119 --> 01:10:15,760
find a fifth pitcher. Covera's pretty bare in their minor

1211
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:16,439
league system.

1212
01:10:18,079 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: It is. Indeed, Jet Williams just nine home runs thirteen

1213
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:26,600
strikeounts only hitting two twenty three in kind of a

1214
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:30,520
good stretch, decent strikeout rate league average, always has walked

1215
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,880
a ton that continues not hitting the ball very hard

1216
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,159
only eighty seven point eight miles per hour with a

1217
01:10:36,239 --> 01:10:37,960
ton of leverage. So that's how he's getting all the

1218
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:39,960
home runs. So it's not a home run hitter, but

1219
01:10:40,039 --> 01:10:43,399
he's got great speed, can hit a little bit, but

1220
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,239
I mean he's not having the kind of the three

1221
01:10:46,239 --> 01:10:49,239
eighty five slugs, so I mean it's it's a bit

1222
01:10:49,319 --> 01:10:51,119
of an all or nothing kind of swing that he's

1223
01:10:51,159 --> 01:10:53,239
got going on. He just doesn't hit the ball very hard.

1224
01:10:53,319 --> 01:10:56,159
So so he still sits there in the minor leagues

1225
01:10:56,199 --> 01:10:58,039
as they go in different directions.

1226
01:10:59,279 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's uh, it is nice to have that

1227
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:07,760
depth though, and you know there there will be injuries

1228
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,000
and yeah, yeah, look you got you've still got h

1229
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,119
Tyler Blake. You know who else is in the Brewer

1230
01:11:14,279 --> 01:11:17,800
system that I wasn't aware of. I'd just forgotten all

1231
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,640
about him? Is one of our favorite blasts from the

1232
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:27,800
past in a kid. Yeah, yeah, he's still sitting there.

1233
01:11:28,079 --> 01:11:33,439
So yeah, yeah, Eddies Eddie's Leonard. There's another name from

1234
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:34,199
the past.

1235
01:11:34,079 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Right, yeahs from the Dodger. I think it's eaties, but

1236
01:11:38,239 --> 01:11:40,560
could be eddies. Yeah, I thought it was like the

1237
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:41,119
ice cream.

1238
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,159
Speaker 2: But okay, yeah they got they've got that.

1239
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's hold that for Sundays. Put a pen

1240
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,800
in it. Great stuff. Over an hour here, So I

1241
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:53,640
need to let you go so you can do it,

1242
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:55,800

01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,920
to do, so we'll be back on Sunday, Tim and

1244
01:11:59,319 --> 01:12:02,359
uh hope maybe draft a second round on Sunday.

1245
01:12:04,319 --> 01:12:07,520
Speaker 2: And go through more of the same questions. That was

1246
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:08,359
a fun exercise.

1247
01:12:08,399 --> 01:12:10,239
Speaker 1: That was a fun exercise. I'm glad we kind of

1248
01:12:10,279 --> 01:12:13,880
drafted it together, so trying to talk through each one

1249
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:15,680
of the picks. So we'll see. We'll do it again

1250
01:12:16,039 --> 01:12:17,880
towards the end of the season, see what we come
