00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Greedy societations. Everyone at twelve, I'm looking a fantasy baseball Live.

2
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Today is the nineteenth of January, about eleven forty five

3
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>in the morning. I'm here with my good buddy, mister

4
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Tim McCleod. Tim. It's cold up there, and thank you

5
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 1>very much for sending the cold our way.

6
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, we are a sharing carrying lot up here, rich,

7
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>and we just know how much you'd appreciate a little

8
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>bit of a cool, cooler atmosphere for a few days. Thankfully,

9
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to get what we're getting. Nobody should

10
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 2>get what we're getting. It's just been brutally. The air

11
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 2>temperature last night, I believe was thirty two below thirty

12
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 2>three throw a little bit of a reason there, and

13
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I think they're reporting thirty five forty below. I'm not

14
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>dragging my butt out of the host for loved their

15
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>money today. It just ain't happened. I'm I'm home bound.

16
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm officially hypating.

17
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>So help me. That's thirty five degrees blows zero celsius.

18
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 1>What would that be in fahrenheit?

19
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh, not much different because they meet up at minus

20
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 2>forty they're exactly one and the same.

21
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh cheese.

22
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So it's yeah. It actually, once you get to

23
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>a boat minus thirty five or so, it actually hurts

24
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>to breathe outdoors.

25
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Jeez.

26
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, it's it's it's just cold. And before that

27
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 2>we had high winds and some snow and uh, it's shame.

28
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 1>It's are you Are you worried about pipes freezing again.

29
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Or ah, water's running out?

30
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Oh yeah, that's that's what we're worried about here

31
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>on the island because it's going to be fifteen degrees

32
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I think on Wednesday, which things is on stilts out here,

33
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 1>so there's nothing. Yeah, I mean it's a real problem.

34
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>So we'll be okay because we're here, but there's so

35
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 1>many people that are not at their home and those

36
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>are the You'll be driving by and you'll see water

37
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>running down this, you know, down the driveway and you'll

38
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 1>know that's pipes of burst.

39
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's uh. Well, the only thing I can

40
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 2>suggest is get the news out there as best you can,

41
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>rich and hope, yeah and hope. Uh, as many people

42
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>as possible can get friends or neighbors or somebody into

43
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>their place and get that water running. All you need

44
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>is just a trickle. You don't need a lot of water.

45
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>It just has to keep flowing. As long as it flows,

46
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>it won't freeze.

47
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Sage advice from the great Tim McCloud. So, but it's

48
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 1>it's called hopefully it to warm up here soon. And

49
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean we got pictures and catchers reporting in less

50
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 1>than a month now.

51
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's three weeks because the season starts early.

52
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 2>I think they've moved spring training up a little bit.

53
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong there, but I believe it's like

54
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>three weeks away. Under thirty eight.

55
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>It's usually right around Valentine's Day, so yes, so that's

56
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>because that's shortly thereafter we do our first year player drafts,

57
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>which we're starting to do. I'm starting still got more

58
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 1>more sites. I've got to move over leagues. I've got

59
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to move over to fan tracks.

60
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>So okay, you're going to have any on CBS, there

61
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>is going to be exclusively.

62
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 1>I think we're moving them all over to fan tracks.

63
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>So in fact, this was talking with their leader over

64
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 1>there and just he was encouraging me to sending it.

65
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 1>So we've Timmy have partnered up again with fan tracks.

66
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we did some advertisments for them last year.

67
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>We're doing them again this year. And as Tim, I mean,

68
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 1>I was a longtime CBS player and commissioner, and you

69
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 1>know that I just grew incredibly frustrated the depth of

70
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the player pool was not there. They don't have the rules,

71
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 1>and our rules are aren't all that complicated, But.

72
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>No, sir, they're relatively simple compared to a lot of

73
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>leagues I've seen.

74
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's like, so, the one rule is once

75
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you got over one hundred innings or three hundred and

76
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>fifty at bats, you have to automatically promote that guy

77
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>to the major leagues or get rid of them. And

78
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 1>that was a manual intervention. CBS does not have that rule.

79
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>It is so wonderful with fan tracks. You simply type

80
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that in as a rule, and as soon as it

81
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>gets to one hundred and one innings, it says the

82
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 1>guys that are no longer alis rule for the minor

83
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>league roster, it's fantastic.

84
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you have two choices. Either run with your existing

85
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 2>roster the rest of the year or make the move

86
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>because the next time you move your roster, everyone't allow

87
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 2>you until, in fact you correct your roster. Yeah, and

88
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>to think of how much time, especially with multiple leagues

89
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>you'd have to spend.

90
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, no, and the integrity of the league goes

91
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>way up because people some people would you know, just

92
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 1>forget about, and some people would use it to their advantage.

93
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's like, you know, they'll keep them down

94
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>until the commissioner finds out about it, then I'll move.

95
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, you have all kinds uh you know, kind

96
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>of trying to play and game the system that way.

97
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>But Fantrax, it's eliminated. It just works.

98
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it just it's done. Yeah. And you know, between

99
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 2>the player pool and everything else. Yeah, you know, you

100
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 2>must be smiling every time you see a relatively obscure

101
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 2>player added to a roster, knowing that with CBS you'd

102
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>have to manually feed that through the system times five,

103
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 2>six seven, with every number of leagues. Yeah, the time

104
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 2>on those transactions that was horrendously on the time you

105
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:53.639
<v Speaker 2>had to spend.

106
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>It's terrible. But now now everything is in there, everybody

107
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>is in there. We've never had to manually request the

108
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>play be at it. Sometimes they're too quick. I mean,

109
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they'll put in guys that are eligible the twenty

110
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty six you know draft, and so I mean that's

111
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>i'd rather have that problem than can you add can

112
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you add a player? So it just works really well.

113
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I think the software works well. I think it's easy

114
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 1>to use from a commissioner's standpoint. The web. I know

115
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>people have complained about the mobile site. I think it's

116
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>really good now, so that's really improved. But look, here's

117
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 1>here's the deal. If you're interested, you want to sign

<v Speaker 2>Good stuff.

131
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 1>All right, Timmy, let's move on here, my friend, let's uh,

132
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about Sasaki.

133
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay. I prefer just one glass. Once I get into

134
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.519
<v Speaker 2>the yeah, two and three, I get a little bit woozy.

135
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, we talk about the important part of it here. Yes,

136
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 1>the you had him going to the Padres. I gave

137
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you an option. You could have two guesses. You said, no,

138
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 1>you're going, You're doubling down. You think it's all Padres.

139
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 1>I went Padres and Dodgers. Yeah, so also gets he

140
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>gets one there. So I need to review our free

141
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>agent contest how it's going. I still think you're in

142
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the lead, but I cut it a little bit because

143
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I got Sasaki right.

144
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know. I I The problem that I

145
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.639
<v Speaker 2>had with is I just didn't see him signing on

146
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 2>a team where he would be the third best player

147
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>out of Japan. You know that was That was my

148
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.839
<v Speaker 2>big concern and the reason that I that I held out.

149
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 2>And apparently the Jay's finished second again, they're doing rather

150
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>well at that over the past few years. But I

151
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>guess his willingness to play on a team of former

152
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 2>NBB stars and I end up very very good team

153
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>at that appears to be the deciding factor. I have

154
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>to assume it is.

155
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everybody wants to sign with the Dodgers. To me,

156
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's crazy. I mean, have you seen the rotation.

157
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. They will

158
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 2>be able to use a six man rotation this year. Yeah,

159
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>and they will, And I bet money they're going to

160
00:08:59.320 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>go with it.

161
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 1>I think they will. I think a lot of teams

162
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>are gonna start going with six man rotations. But just

163
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to remind everybody, it is Blake Snow remember him, Timmy

164
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>he signed in the offseason. Yeah, yes, he arguably top

165
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 1>five stuff in the game. It is nasty, nasty stuff.

166
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 1>Yamamoda number two starter, also number one stuff as well.

167
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Third guy Tyler Glasnow probably top five stuff in the

168
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>game as well, can't stay healthy, also number one starter stuff.

169
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Tony Gonsolin was really good before he got hurt. Roki

170
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Sasaki there and then you got show Hey Otani there.

171
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it is absolutely ridiculous.

172
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The only rotation in baseball that has the potential

173
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.879
<v Speaker 2>I believe to match up to them would be Seattles.

174
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Nobody else is in the same ballpark.

175
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. Yeah, I mean the biggest problem with the

176
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers' rotation health. I mean, they've got flake snouts. Everybody

177
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>will stay health healthy. Neither is Tyler Glasta. But then

178
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>you got Dustin May that's still out there, and then

179
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you got all these young kids that are sitting in

180
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the minor. Emmit Shean is a good pitcher.

181
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Rib Ryan has got some skills when he comes back, right,

182
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>he comes.

183
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Back, I mean em and should be back this season.

184
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's in Roblaski is a good pitcher. And

185
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>those guys are simply going to be there to pitch

186
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 1>innings when people get hurt. And it's just it's amazing

187
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 1>what they've got their throwing out.

188
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>There well, and you can you can bet your bottom

189
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 2>dollar that it is going to happen. Is the pictures

190
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 2>that we mentioned as being part of that regular rotation.

191
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Will they won't pitch a whole lot in September? Really? No? Yeah,

192
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>you be looking at five inning wings every six. They

193
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 2>might skip a turn in the rotation. They want those guys,

194
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.240
<v Speaker 2>they want those guys healthy for the playoffs. Kid Tyler Glasnow, yeah,

195
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>they tried pushing it last year, right, he was up

196
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 2>well over one hundred innings fairly early by his standards anyways,

197
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 2>in the season and he just broke down. So why

198
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 2>would they even attempt to throw glassnow for more than

199
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty innings. Yeah, if he's had eighty

200
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty five innings as we head Intovember, right or even August,

201
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>they'll just reduce the workloads so they have him healthy

202
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 2>for the playoffs, right, and they'll be able to do

203
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>it and get away with it.

204
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I know. It's it's absolutely insane, and I mean they're

205
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 1>the odds on favorite. I think to repeat, they have

206
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 1>to be. I mean, I mean they it might not happen,

207
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 1>but they have to be the odds on favorite to

208
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>be the best team in baseball. And I was just

209
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:47.799
<v Speaker 1>reading as we were coming on the air they signed

210
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 1>also signed Tanner Scott. We'll talk about in a moment.

211
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>They've got their over three hundred and seventy five million dollars,

212
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>well above the threshold. They got so much money to Ford.

213
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 1>We've talked that nausey about that. It's they're just playing

214
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.399
<v Speaker 1>a different game. I think Tim made the comment to

215
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 1>me before we got on air, somebody's going to be

216
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>really right or somebody's going to be really wrong, and

217
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>it's either the Dodgers or rob Manford. Because the rules

218
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 1>they're playing by a different set of rules.

219
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah they are. And you know what, obviously they know

220
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.720
<v Speaker 2>what the bottom line is. They know what the penalties are,

221
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>and they're prepared to pay him. And as long as

222
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>there are teams out there willing to play within the

223
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:34.960
<v Speaker 2>framework work of the rules, okay and pay the penalties,

224
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing Major League Baseball can do about it.

225
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.799
<v Speaker 1>So Tim. At this time, Tim, on Friday after rookie

226
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Sosiety signed and it was an interesting Every team could

227
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 1>have signed him right he was available for anybody to sign,

228
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>and many teams had more money than the Dodgers had.

229
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>But I always found it curious because the Dodgers were

230
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Speaker 1>the only team not too really settle on a high

231
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>end international player to sign. So it looked like they

232
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>were set up and it had already been decided that

233
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers were going to get a We're going to

234
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>get Sasaki, and that's ultimately where he landed. But Tim says.

235
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Tim writes to me on January seventeenth, at twelve eleven

236
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 1>in the afternoon, I'm just curious, and I can tell

237
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.559
<v Speaker 1>you when I get a note from the SIMP says,

238
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm just curious. I pay attention to it because of

239
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Jusuy a really good question. Can a team sign a

240
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 1>player as an international signee and then turn around and

241
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>offer him a ten year extension, say for two hundred

242
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and fifty million dollars with a fifty percent of it deferred? Tim,

243
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and I thought I was a really, really good question.

244
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.759
<v Speaker 1>And my response to Tim was, I don't believe so.

245
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>But essentially, the Dodgers seemed to be pushing the rules

246
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and seem to be able to do everything they want.

247
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 1>I would think this would be a bridge too far

248
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 1>if they did that, But I don't know if I'd

249
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>put it past them.

250
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:09.120
<v Speaker 2>What do you think, Well, I think in the spirit

251
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 2>of the rules, I think Major League Baseball would have

252
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 2>something to say about it. But at the same point

253
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:19.559
<v Speaker 2>in time, you see all the time players called up

254
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to the majors, okay and offered extensions to buy out

255
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>their arbitration eligible years. Yeah, yeah, he had. What is

256
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.240
<v Speaker 2>to stop the Dodgers from saying, we're going to buy

257
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 2>out his arbitration years because we think we can get

258
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.399
<v Speaker 2>a bargain, and we're going to offer him one hundred

259
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>million to buy out those six years, Like there is

260
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.480
<v Speaker 2>nothing technically and legally, I don't I don't you know

261
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:45.960
<v Speaker 2>it's yeah, So I.

262
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Said there is I said, I don't believe. So there

263
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:51.759
<v Speaker 1>is nothing that would prevent them from doing that, except

264
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it would feel like it is sidestepping the rules that

265
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>would say you you know that there's this he signed

266
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>as a minor league free agent, and you know that's

267
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 1>how we should be treated in Shoeyotani. The Angels did

268
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 1>not try to do a similar deal with sho Heeyo Tani.

269
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he didn't want to sign that deal.

270
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, right, but you take a look at

271
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Evan Longoria. He signed an extension ten minutes before he

272
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.679
<v Speaker 2>got called up early by the Rais Jack.

273
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Jackson Cheria did last year eight years, eighty million dollars,

274
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:31.799
<v Speaker 1>and you know he was coming up.

275
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, exactly what's the difference between the Dodgers doing that

276
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>with Sazaki versus the Brewers doing it with Cheerio.

277
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think there is anything technically. I didn't

278
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>ask anybody, just didn't have time. I don't know if

279
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>there's specific rules around Japanese players that they carved out

280
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 1>or Asian players that come over in this unique situation.

281
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the Major League Baseball's carved it out,

282
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.519
<v Speaker 1>But it would smell I would think if they did

283
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>something like that.

284
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, definitely it would. But other teams have

285
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.159
<v Speaker 2>done it with their young players, oh for sure, to

286
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>buy out those arbitration years. So you know, I think

287
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.519
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers have a very very good argument in their favor.

288
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.639
<v Speaker 2>How can the Brewers do it with Cheerio and the

289
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers be denied with Suzaki? I know, the whole problem

290
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.440
<v Speaker 2>could be solved by none of these None of these

291
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.639
<v Speaker 2>players coming over from Japan should be treated in that

292
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>international pool. That's the gist of the whole problem right

293
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>then and there, and Man removed it from twenty three

294
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 2>to twenty five, creating a situation where these players are

295
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.519
<v Speaker 2>coming over now, some of the younger players, and they

296
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 2>fall into this international pool, and they're pro players, they

297
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.120
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be in. That is not the intent I believe

298
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 2>of the international player signing process.

299
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>But the fact that they move the age would imply

300
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that Major League Baseball teams then can't turn around and

301
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.119
<v Speaker 1>sign him to a ten year, two hundred and fifteen

302
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.400
<v Speaker 1>million dollar contract, because then then why do you put

303
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:15.559
<v Speaker 1>an age in there to begin with?

304
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, let's say somebody likes the most recent signing. Okay,

305
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:28.400
<v Speaker 2>that whoever picks up. Okay. A good example said, say

306
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Oakland signed somebody in the international player draft and within

307
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 2>a year, Okay, this kid is ready, he's good enough,

308
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.319
<v Speaker 2>he's ready to go, right, so they then offer him

309
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 2>to buy out all of his arbitration for one hundred mil.

310
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Like it can It can happen with international players.

311
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 1>It can't. I would think what the logic would be

312
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 1>with in Major League Baseball is all of those international

313
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>players that they're signing are sixteen seventeen years old. Nobody

314
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 1>in their right mind when they're seventeen years sixteen seventeen

315
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 1>years old would sign a player for eight years and

316
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.839
<v Speaker 1>eighty million dollars in Jackson, Cheria. You would have to

317
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 1>prove yourself in the upper minor leagues to even make

318
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>even do that. What's different here is rookie Sasaki has

319
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:20.799
<v Speaker 1>already proven himself in Japan, and if he would have

320
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 1>waited another year, he would have been offered two hundred

321
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.039
<v Speaker 1>and fifty to three hundred million dollar contracts.

322
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, two years. I think it was two years,

323
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, he had two years. But again, why why

324
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.839
<v Speaker 2>is a pro player in Sazaki mixed in with the

325
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>sixteen year old international player that does not That doesn't

326
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:41.000
<v Speaker 2>smell right.

327
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 1>To me, and also would answer a question that's always

328
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 1>nagged at me is why didn't Sasaki just wait another

329
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 1>two years and then go for the big money. Maybe

330
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.119
<v Speaker 1>his agent said, ah, we'll get somebody to do exactly

331
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 1>what Tim McCleod is suggesting. You'll play six months, Yeah,

332
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.319
<v Speaker 1>throw throw in half a season, look really good, and

333
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden the Dodgers come and say, yeah,

334
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 1>this guy looks really good, let's buy out his arbitration.

335
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah, and all there.

336
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.839
<v Speaker 2>You go, Well, yeah, you know what they could They

337
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:18.200
<v Speaker 2>could probably put a stop to it if it happened tomorrow,

338
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.920
<v Speaker 2>But two years from now, could they put the stop

339
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to it when he's in heading into arbitration? I don't

340
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 2>think they can at that point in time. And the

341
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 2>two Yeah, hey, the only people who who would ever

342
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:36.519
<v Speaker 2>know is the Dodger owner, top executive and Sazaki and

343
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.440
<v Speaker 2>his age. Did you think anybody would say we made

344
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 2>this arrangement two years ago. No, because it would it

345
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.119
<v Speaker 2>would not protect either side, you know what I mean.

346
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 1>It would be a collusion. It would be an Atlanta

347
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Braves type of penalty where they would probably could not

348
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 1>sign international players for quite a while. But to me,

349
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.480
<v Speaker 1>if I hear what you're saying, and I with you

350
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.359
<v Speaker 1>that it's it's a slippery slope here, and I wouldn't

351
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 1>put anything past the Dodgers, I hope that the Dodgers

352
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:10.920
<v Speaker 1>do something like this in the next two years, that

353
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball comes and says you can't do that

354
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.279
<v Speaker 1>nullifies the contract or says, okay, you're doing that, and

355
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 1>now we're going to eliminate all these crazy rules.

356
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, something needs to be tidy up, and it

357
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:26.440
<v Speaker 2>actually needs to be tied up in Japan as well.

358
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:31.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, players coming over early there, you know there

359
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.359
<v Speaker 2>has there has to be some some changes to the

360
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.200
<v Speaker 2>rules in place, because they can't look at sazaki and

361
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 2>treat them like an international player but then change the

362
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.039
<v Speaker 2>rules and treat them differently at some at some point

363
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:45.519
<v Speaker 2>in the future, you know what I mean.

364
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>It's totally agree because of it. So let's say so

365
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you said that the Toronto Blue Jays came and you

366
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.559
<v Speaker 1>know they were the runner round. Imagine how pissed they're

367
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.799
<v Speaker 1>going to be if he's he does this deal, right,

368
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 1>It's it's like, wait a minute, we might have been

369
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.759
<v Speaker 1>able to outbid the Dodgers if you would have given

370
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a we never had that chance to do that. Then

371
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe behind the scenes they were all talking these long

372
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:14.319
<v Speaker 1>term contracts anyway, but you could publicly say, hey, we

373
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:16.519
<v Speaker 1>should have been given the opportunity, and I think they

374
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:17.160
<v Speaker 1>would be right.

375
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Jay's traded for Miles Straw and two million

376
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 2>bucks worth of international money. They didn't make that deal

377
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>for Miles Straw. Yeah, from what I can understand, the

378
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Jays have been working this for years, you know, in

379
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 2>contact with his representatives, et cetera. They've been working really

380
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:39.279
<v Speaker 2>really hard to make this signing and it just evaporated

381
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 2>into nothing overnight. And hey, thems the breaks. But at

382
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.640
<v Speaker 2>the same point in time, if the J's are probably

383
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.440
<v Speaker 2>sitting back saying, yeah, the Dodgers are going to find

384
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.799
<v Speaker 2>some way to extend him and we're going to get

385
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.160
<v Speaker 2>not only we get screwed on the first deal because

386
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:58.839
<v Speaker 2>we had the most money to offer, which had to

387
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>an international sixteen year old. An extra two million bucks

388
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 2>is two million bucks to a guy like Ruby Sazaki

389
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:10.240
<v Speaker 2>who's got money already. It's two million bucks as peanuts.

390
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Yep. I. So to answer the final exclamation mark on

391
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.359
<v Speaker 1>the question you gave me, I hope it. I hope

392
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that on April first they signed him to a large contract.

393
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.319
<v Speaker 1>And this thing just blows up in the media, blows

394
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>up across baseball because something's not right this. It sounds

395
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.920
<v Speaker 1>like the rules just are not right. There's a lot

396
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 1>of people who believe in agents that I talked to,

397
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 1>and rightly so, that the drafts are really an illegal

398
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.400
<v Speaker 1>way to keep salary, you know, kind of pushed down

399
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that everybody really should be a free agent, be able

400
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to sign as much money as they want given the market.

401
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.119
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's definitely true with these EDU cases

402
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>like Sasaki, who were already established and if you'd been

403
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.920
<v Speaker 1>two years older, he would have been signing a contract

404
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.119
<v Speaker 1>similar to Yamamoto.

405
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think if a player is a pro player,

406
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:12.279
<v Speaker 2>he should not be eligible under any circumstances for the

407
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:17.319
<v Speaker 2>international draft, the international signing period, and those players was

408
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:20.119
<v Speaker 2>not set up to be able to handle circumstances like

409
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:22.480
<v Speaker 2>we saw with Roki Sazaki. Am we'll see in the

410
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:27.400
<v Speaker 2>future and something something's got to give my friend, Yes,

411
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.039
<v Speaker 2>it does, really does.

412
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.559
<v Speaker 1>And and the Dodgers. You know, Time's point is well taken.

413
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 1>They are pushing the envelope big time. And you could

414
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.400
<v Speaker 1>definitely see this going down. Uh, and I hope it

415
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:46.680
<v Speaker 1>does because I love stuff like this. It's good to

416
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:50.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about. That's why we wanted very much somebody with long,

417
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:54.160
<v Speaker 1>stringy hair to go to the Yankees. I mean, it's

418
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:57.720
<v Speaker 1>like beard and it would refuse to shave. So but

419
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:01.440
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately we haven't had our wish granted there.

420
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it'll happen someday, Tommy.

421
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.799
<v Speaker 1>Just take a break, get back, and let's go through

422
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.960
<v Speaker 1>your second base rankings.

423
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Sounds good.

424
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.279
<v Speaker 1>The first time I have a dad joke for you.

425
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I like dad jokes, you know that.

426
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I know you do. Let me actually bring up the

427
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.599
<v Speaker 1>rankings here while i'm second base here. It is so

428
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:35.640
<v Speaker 1>so football football, since we're in the middle of the playoffs,

429
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:40.319
<v Speaker 1>which I actually watched the Lourie's a big Washington Commanders

430
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the old Washington Redskins, and we watched the game

431
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 1>last night, Timmy. It was exciting. I really enjoyed that.

432
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>So I get to watch another game next week because

433
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:54.839
<v Speaker 1>they won that game. But anyway, a young, a small

434
00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:00.480
<v Speaker 1>college hired a football coach to lead the team. The

435
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:03.559
<v Speaker 1>team wasn't very good, so he was hard to lead

436
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:06.119
<v Speaker 1>their team. And when the guy was announcing and went

437
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.079
<v Speaker 1>to all the fanfares of being announced, he went to

438
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:10.599
<v Speaker 1>his office and he opened the drawer and he found

439
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:17.319
<v Speaker 1>three envelopes inside the drawer. One said open if after

440
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the first losing season. The second envelope said open after

441
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the second losing season. The third envelope said open after

442
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:27.359
<v Speaker 1>the third losing season. He thought that was weird, said okay, well,

443
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 1>shoved them to the back of the drawer. First season

444
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:34.720
<v Speaker 1>comes and goes. Team didn't play well, tim so he said, man,

445
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it was tough season, and he was thinking about these

446
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 1>three envelopes. So went and dug around the drawer found

447
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.599
<v Speaker 1>the one that said open after the first season. He

448
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.079
<v Speaker 1>opened it up and it was from the former coach

449
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 1>who said, what you need to do was blame it

450
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>on the former coach. That the former coach that was here,

451
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:55.880
<v Speaker 1>say that you're gonna do better, it'll all go well.

452
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's what he did. He went out to the

453
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:59.880
<v Speaker 1>microphone the next day and he blamed it on the

454
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>former coach and the fans and the media all acknowledge that,

455
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and the guy had a chance to do it again.

456
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Second year comes and they unfortunately have another losing season.

457
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 1>So he remembers these envelopes. Now he goes back and

458
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.359
<v Speaker 1>he pulls he opens the second one. He goes, blame

459
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>it on the administration, is what the former coach says,

460
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.400
<v Speaker 1>They didn't support you. The fans in the media will

461
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:26.799
<v Speaker 1>buy that. Goes out the next day. Timmy blames it

462
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 1>on the administration and the media and the fans are

463
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>all good with him. Unfortunately, the third season comes to

464
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.599
<v Speaker 1>him and what is it, another losing season. The guy

465
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 1>is very aware of this third envelope. He goes, all right,

466
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.240
<v Speaker 1>so he goes after the season opens, the desk opens

467
00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the third envelope and it says, start creating three envelopes.

468
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like that. I like that. Yeah.

469
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of a lot of a lot of coaches

470
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:09.279
<v Speaker 1>and major and managers all have that thing going on.

471
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:13.799
<v Speaker 1>So Timmy, I'm going to give you major kudos on

472
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the second base rankings if if for no other reason,

473
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 1>we have some differences in how they're going in the NFBC,

474
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>so it's a little bit more fun to talk about.

475
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So well done there.

476
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I took a look at some of the numbers

477
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:34.240
<v Speaker 2>and said, yeah, there won't be any problems discussing discussing

478
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:38.279
<v Speaker 2>second base and coming up with the it's not it's

479
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:41.720
<v Speaker 2>not shocked the NFBC, not by any stretch of the imagination.

480
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:44.359
<v Speaker 1>The top is and we'll get into that in a moment.

481
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:46.599
<v Speaker 1>But Timmy, why don't you tell us and share with

482
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>us how you are handling second base, you personally, how

483
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:51.599
<v Speaker 1>you're going to handle second base this season?

484
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think when you look, I think it's a

485
00:27:55.599 --> 00:28:02.480
<v Speaker 2>very light top end, okay, ing that you've got basically,

486
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:05.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, kateel Marte at the head of the class

487
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:10.039
<v Speaker 2>and L Twove, Ozzie Alby's and Marcus Semi and following

488
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:16.559
<v Speaker 2>following in the top one hundred that after that, there's

489
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:20.160
<v Speaker 2>a host of options that all seem to fall into

490
00:28:20.599 --> 00:28:27.599
<v Speaker 2>basically good but not great. And I'm I'm looking at

491
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:30.559
<v Speaker 2>the mid tier. That's that's where I'm coming from when

492
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.240
<v Speaker 2>it comes to second base. You know, when you start

493
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:35.160
<v Speaker 2>looking at you know, L two V in the third,

494
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker 2>fourth round and Ozzy Alby's fourth fifth, I'm I'm gonna

495
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:43.599
<v Speaker 2>pass there, and I'm gonna I'm gonna look at trying

496
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:49.480
<v Speaker 2>to add either pitching, first base or outfield, okay, into

497
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.960
<v Speaker 2>into those rounds where you're top tier of second base

498
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:54.960
<v Speaker 2>are going and I'm gonna pick from the mid tier.

499
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 2>And there's a host of names that all offer you know,

500
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:04.079
<v Speaker 2>solid that not great players, but you can more than

501
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:06.519
<v Speaker 2>get by. There's a I'm just trying to think of

502
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:09.599
<v Speaker 2>the right way of putting it. There's an abundance of

503
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:17.759
<v Speaker 2>average type players, then you can pick and choose from them.

504
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I think there's some really good players late. I agree

505
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 1>with you. And for those Patreon members who've read my

510
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:42.279
<v Speaker 1>it's so really good stuff out there. But I I

511
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:46.319
<v Speaker 1>analyzed second base and I kind of came to that

512
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 1>conclusion as well. I love Katel Marte, but after that,

513
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm waiting. I'm not gonna look. I have a statue,

514
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:59.599
<v Speaker 1>as everybody knows, of Josey Altuve and Brandon Belt playing

515
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:01.720
<v Speaker 1>catch in my front lawn. Right I mean, I do

516
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:05.960
<v Speaker 1>so I love Jose Altuve, it is no longer the

517
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>same He is not the same guy anymore. The power

518
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:12.480
<v Speaker 1>bat speed is down, the eggs velocities are down out

519
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:17.839
<v Speaker 1>Ossie Albi's started that last season, it's continuing this year,

520
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>so he's not the same guy either, even though he's

521
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:24.519
<v Speaker 1>not all that old. Speed has really ticked down on

522
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:27.920
<v Speaker 1>both of those guys. I don't get it. I don't

523
00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:30.559
<v Speaker 1>know how. I don't know how Jose al Tuovey is

524
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>still doing what he's doing. I mean, the data says

525
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.039
<v Speaker 1>he can't do it.

526
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but again, if they fall far enough, they'll have

527
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>my attention for sure. But I haven't. I haven't seen

528
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.640
<v Speaker 2>that occurring. And again, you know, Marcus Semians don't spring

529
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 2>chicken either.

530
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Nope, you know so.

531
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I think I think as a player, when trying to

532
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:01.920
<v Speaker 2>structure structure your team, I think you're wiser looking at

533
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:05.839
<v Speaker 2>other options where Ltov and Ossy Alby's and markers where

534
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:09.640
<v Speaker 2>they're currently falling. I think in your overall team construction,

535
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:13.000
<v Speaker 2>you can do much better by leaving them there and

536
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:17.960
<v Speaker 2>heading in another direction and then working off the players

537
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.960
<v Speaker 2>from round eight through to round fourteen. Uh, in your

538
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 2>draft and filling in, filling in your second base position.

539
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:31.559
<v Speaker 2>From that range of players, I think the overall is weak.

540
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm in violent I'm in violent agreement. I totally totally

541
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:37.640
<v Speaker 1>back up what you're saying, and the data really backs

542
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:40.160
<v Speaker 1>up that as well. And I just want to warn

543
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:43.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody be really careful with jose Al TV and Ozzy

544
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Albi's do not overdraft those guys. I mean, they could

545
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:51.160
<v Speaker 1>still perform very very well, but there's creeks, and particularly

546
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>with Josel Tuv's case, some big creeks that are starting

547
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:56.599
<v Speaker 1>to form there well.

548
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.319
<v Speaker 2>And you got to look at Ozzie Alby's only been

549
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:03.119
<v Speaker 2>healthy two in the past four seasons. Those two seasons

550
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:07.880
<v Speaker 2>have been very very good, but the other two you

551
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.160
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have been happy having him on your team those

552
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:10.680
<v Speaker 2>two years.

553
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.359
<v Speaker 1>No anything more to say about Catel Marte, jose Al two,

554
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the ASI Ali's Marcus Simmi, they're one through four is

555
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.319
<v Speaker 1>exactly where they're going in the NFBC.

556
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.319
<v Speaker 2>H The only thing I've part of my narrative on

557
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 2>kJ Al Marte man he had a year last year.

558
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, he bested his peers by thirteen home runs

559
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:37.039
<v Speaker 2>twenty one RBIs and finished the season the only player

560
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:40.079
<v Speaker 2>at second base to top both the eight hundred and nine

561
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.279
<v Speaker 2>hundred OPS numbers. Yeah, kJ al Marte is in a

562
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:48.160
<v Speaker 2>league onto himself at second base right now. Amazing year

563
00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 2>it is.

564
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:51.160
<v Speaker 1>And you know he was one of those guys to

565
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 1>me for a while was a big home run year,

566
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.160
<v Speaker 1>poor home run year. But he's he physically got bigger

567
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago. And that's carry fort. He is

568
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty one years old. But average eggs of velossi ninety

569
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:08.720
<v Speaker 1>eight percentile hard hit rates in ninety six percentile bat

570
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.279
<v Speaker 1>speed seventy eight. I mean the square up rate, which

571
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 1>is getting maximum effect of your leverage and your bat

572
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:20.079
<v Speaker 1>speeds at seventy eighty excuse me, eighty nine percent. This

573
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 1>is tremendous eighty fifth percent on walk rate seventy second.

574
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And there's few a few players in Baseball's Baseball Savant

575
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:31.599
<v Speaker 1>page look as good as his does.

576
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know there is but one of them.

577
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.559
<v Speaker 2>And you said he's in a league all to himself

578
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:39.799
<v Speaker 2>at second base, he really is.

579
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Yep. Now the speed is gone, so it's you know,

580
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>five to ten stolen basis. But I mean, this is

581
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:48.480
<v Speaker 1>a guy that's hitting the ball, hitting it well, and

582
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:49.920
<v Speaker 1>man it's impressive.

583
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 2>Y yep, very much. So.

584
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Westberg at number five. You start to get interested

585
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:57.319
<v Speaker 1>in Jordan Westburg.

586
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think there's a twenty five eighty five RBI

587
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.039
<v Speaker 2>season in his future, and I think it could be

588
00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:04.119
<v Speaker 2>as early as this year.

589
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Plus he's also at third base too, is and that

590
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that that helps?

591
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So sixty seven games at third base last year, Yeah,

592
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.320
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a plus definitely.

593
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 1>So any okay, so those are our top five. So

594
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:23.599
<v Speaker 1>let's go to the next group here. Why am okay,

595
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:26.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. Next one, you love yourself some. Bryce Terrang

596
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:32.159
<v Speaker 1>at six, Luis Garcia Junior, who, amazingly his ADP rank

597
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>this year is one twenty point five to nine. Last

598
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 1>year was five ninety three. Good on him.

599
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well yeah, even look at Terrang, he's up three

600
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 2>hundred spots of the eight.

601
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:46.519
<v Speaker 1>That is true. Matt McClain, who dropped a little bit

602
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:49.960
<v Speaker 1>because he was hurt. M cal Garcia, congratulations pushing him

603
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:53.199
<v Speaker 1>up there, Tim seven spots, way to go. And Jackson

604
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Holliday up seven spots. Timmy loves himself some mcl garcia

605
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and Jackson Holly. But let's talk Bryce terrang up two slots.

606
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Hey, when you when when you finished third dollar

607
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:11.360
<v Speaker 2>baseball with fifty two stolen bases, that counts. You know,

608
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:14.920
<v Speaker 2>the power is limited. But he broke out last year,

609
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:18.559
<v Speaker 2>had a great year, and if you're looking at controlling

610
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:23.199
<v Speaker 2>the stolen base market, fifty of them gives you. Gives

611
00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:25.760
<v Speaker 2>you a pretty good start at that, doesn't it. Yeah.

612
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he'll do fifty again. But I

613
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:30.800
<v Speaker 1>mean there's no power, their speed he can hit, that's

614
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:31.920
<v Speaker 1>just who the player is.

615
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think if I was going to set

616
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:39.079
<v Speaker 2>a floor on terrain, I would say it probably at forty.

617
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Ninety four percent Island sprint speed. He looks like the

618
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Brewers love running him. I think that's reasonable.

619
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Was she?

620
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I wish she hit at the top of the lineup more,

621
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:51.639
<v Speaker 1>but he just doesn't.

622
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's again, that's why if he had fifteen homers

623
00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:02.519
<v Speaker 2>to go along with those stole in bases, he'd probably

624
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:06.159
<v Speaker 2>be the number two ranked second basement.

625
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but there's no power. I mean there's none. It's

626
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.960
<v Speaker 1>no average ex velocity, fourteenth percentile bat speed, second percent time.

627
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.599
<v Speaker 1>He's a double hitter. That's where this guy is, but

628
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:23.519
<v Speaker 1>he can hit and he's got speed. There is no question, yes,

629
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Lewis Garcia Junior, anything more to say about him after

630
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:28.559
<v Speaker 1>his tremendous.

631
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Season twenty four years old and he fell to Homer

632
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.760
<v Speaker 2>short of a twenty twenty season. That's impressive and I'm

633
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:38.639
<v Speaker 2>warranting of a top ten placing in my opinion.

634
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Agreed, coming in at number eight is Matt McClain. Down

635
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.440
<v Speaker 1>two slots, but I still think you like Matt McClain.

636
00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I do like Matt McClain. And when you look at

637
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:58.199
<v Speaker 2>this this top ten, if he stays healthy and I

638
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 2>think there's a potential for a twenty five to twenty

639
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:04.840
<v Speaker 2>five type season, I wouldn't be at all shocked if

640
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.360
<v Speaker 2>he stays healthy and performance to the levels I think

641
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:10.239
<v Speaker 2>he can perform. Too that he's your number two ranked

642
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:14.360
<v Speaker 2>second basement next year, but he's got to do it

643
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and he hasn't so you know, he's.

644
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Also got to stay at second base. And you know

645
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.119
<v Speaker 1>there's been a lot as we talked at nauseum about

646
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the Cincinnati Reds. They're collecting infielders, so somebody's not gonna

647
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:27.000
<v Speaker 1>play in the infield.

648
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly. They're talking about moving him to the outfield.

649
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:33.400
<v Speaker 2>But again, Matt McLean's got a lot of talent, a

650
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:35.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of skills. He's got to stay on the field

651
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:36.679
<v Speaker 2>and get it done.

652
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Look, I talked big up mckel garcia last year. He

653
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of broke my heart a little bit with his

654
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:47.519
<v Speaker 1>lack of walks, just chases everything. But the stolen bases

655
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:50.599
<v Speaker 1>were there. I still think there's more power. What say you?

656
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all he all he needs is more than a

657
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.239
<v Speaker 2>half dozen more home runs to go along with the

658
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.960
<v Speaker 2>high thirty stolen bases. And yeah, yeah, he's got the

659
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:05.800
<v Speaker 2>potential to be a top five second basement. He needs

660
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:06.519
<v Speaker 2>he needs to.

661
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Walk more than once a week though, I mean he

662
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:10.480
<v Speaker 1>otherwise he's gonna be hitting at the bottom of the

663
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:12.199
<v Speaker 1>lineup and that's not good for anybody.

664
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, he's no Sedan Rafael, but some improvement would

665
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 2>be nice. Yes, I agree.

666
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:21.519
<v Speaker 1>And it's also good that he's he's eligible both at

667
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:25.039
<v Speaker 1>second and third base. It's good good defender as well.

668
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I mcal Garcia is still very young. So if you're

669
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like me and you're you're a big fan, and you're

670
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:35.599
<v Speaker 1>you're potentially going to be commissioning you know, another statue

671
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:38.320
<v Speaker 1>in the you know, the play joining the Catch with

672
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Jose altuv and and and the Brandon Belt. I think

673
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're at that level with macl Garcia, I just

674
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:46.440
<v Speaker 1>realized he's terribly young.

675
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Still, well yeah, and you know, you look, I've got

676
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:51.920
<v Speaker 2>them seven spots up on the NFBC. Who's got them

677
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:56.159
<v Speaker 2>at sixteen? Okay? But when I look at you know,

678
00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:02.199
<v Speaker 2>the NFVC has Renifo ahead of him, Bryson Stadt, m

679
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 2>and A is at twelve, Nico Horner. I think all

680
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:09.320
<v Speaker 2>those guys have established floors. We know who they are, okay,

681
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:14.159
<v Speaker 2>and they're fine players. But I'm gonna take my Michael

682
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Garcia ahead of Bryson Stott and Andrea's m and is

683
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:21.880
<v Speaker 2>a negro every day of the week. It's not even

684
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a close decision for me, because I think we haven't

685
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:29.159
<v Speaker 2>seen the peak of Michael Garcia, but I think we

686
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.920
<v Speaker 2>know very well with Bryson Stott Andres m and As

687
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:36.239
<v Speaker 2>are as players. They're not bad players. But when in doubt,

688
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm always going to bump up players that I believe

689
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:42.519
<v Speaker 2>have more potential than what we've seen, and Garcia falls

690
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:43.639
<v Speaker 2>into that category for me.

691
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Inspect the batting average is two sixty. So there's definitely

692
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:49.280
<v Speaker 1>some upside in that two thirty one batting average you

693
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.239
<v Speaker 1>put together, which will help his on base percentage a

694
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:56.199
<v Speaker 1>little bit. But he really does need to needs to

695
00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:59.199
<v Speaker 1>tone down the aggressive event at the plate. And we

696
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:01.440
<v Speaker 1>got Jackson how Holady coming in at number ten, and

697
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:03.159
<v Speaker 1>we both love Jackson Holiday.

698
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:06.679
<v Speaker 2>This year, well, you know, he struggled badly in that

699
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:10.800
<v Speaker 2>first goal workout. There's no way to deny it. He

700
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:12.920
<v Speaker 2>was terrible, but he went yeah, but he went back

701
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:15.320
<v Speaker 2>to Triple A and did everything that got him the

702
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:17.400
<v Speaker 2>invite in the first place, right, and you look at

703
00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the numbers he produced in Triple A. I believe the

704
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:24.880
<v Speaker 2>upside sky high, and I think I think it's going

705
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 2>to be good enough this year that I've moved him

706
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:28.760
<v Speaker 2>to the number ten spot.

707
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I went, I'm right there with you, Timmy. I mean

708
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:36.239
<v Speaker 1>I got him and you both we both have him

709
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:40.840
<v Speaker 1>in our early drafts this season, and look, it might

710
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:44.519
<v Speaker 1>not work out, but the data looks good on this guy.

711
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:48.440
<v Speaker 1>He's fast, he hits the ball harder than you think.

712
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:51.599
<v Speaker 1>I think there's something here with this kid, and I

713
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:54.159
<v Speaker 1>refuse to believe he's going to be a washup. Twenty

714
00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:57.559
<v Speaker 1>one years old. Remember that, everybody, he's twenty he's a baby,

715
00:40:57.679 --> 00:40:58.880
<v Speaker 1>he's twenty one years old.

716
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and again he's another player that I believe, you know,

717
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:08.880
<v Speaker 2>along with McLain and Garcia, that can move rapidly up

718
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:14.320
<v Speaker 2>the charts this season if he produces even to fIF

719
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.559
<v Speaker 2>sixty percent of what I believe he's capable of doing.

720
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:19.559
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, we're all in.

721
00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, before we take a break, I will say that

722
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:27.519
<v Speaker 1>second base, I always ask you the question, who not

723
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:29.360
<v Speaker 1>in the top ten has chance to be in the

724
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:33.239
<v Speaker 1>top ten. I think we're going to see this year

725
00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:36.440
<v Speaker 1>could see a big flip flop of guys at the top,

726
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:40.960
<v Speaker 1>with the alto V's and Ossi Albi's and Marcusimion dropping in,

727
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the Garcia's, McClain's and Holidays moving up.

728
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I want to continue doing this podcast, so I'll

729
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:50.679
<v Speaker 2>leave l to me in the top five, but everybody

730
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:52.440
<v Speaker 2>else is fair game. Oh is that rich?

731
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's true. That's true to me. Let's take a break,

732
00:41:55.119 --> 00:42:10.920
<v Speaker 1>it back and let's continue on with the list. Good

733
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:16.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff too. One thing I wanted to do, let's see, yeah,

734
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:20.199
<v Speaker 1>is I wanted to take a moment and tell you

735
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:23.840
<v Speaker 1>what the last picks in my dinings and my NFBC

736
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:25.679
<v Speaker 1>draft and holds war. Would you like to hear that?

737
00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Cool.

738
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do that the first segment and forgot to.

739
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:32.480
<v Speaker 1>So let me just bring up the draft board that

740
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:36.199
<v Speaker 1>the draft is over. Took exactly three weeks, which was

741
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:40.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun. Yeah, that's yeah, it's a good pace.

742
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I made at least two picks every day, which is

743
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:47.039
<v Speaker 1>you can't ask for more than that, and so it

744
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:50.599
<v Speaker 1>was fun. Let's see so again, I was picking in

745
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:53.639
<v Speaker 1>the thirteenth slot. I'll just give you thirty through fifty.

746
00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I think I mentioned Kyle TiAl and Nariel Rodriguez at

747
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:01.559
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine and thirty. Then I went Jose Cantanna, which

748
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:03.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think he's going to get a job

749
00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:05.559
<v Speaker 1>at thirty one. You need, you need pitching in these

750
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.920
<v Speaker 1>NFC drafting holes. Then I went for three young kids

751
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:13.719
<v Speaker 1>in a row, Nick Kurtz, Chandler Simpson, and terso or Neelius.

752
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:19.400
<v Speaker 2>There we go. You could I like it. I like

753
00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:19.920
<v Speaker 2>it a lot.

754
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:23.039
<v Speaker 1>I think I think we see Nick Nick Kurtz this year,

755
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Chandler Simpsons, who knows, but if he comes up its

756
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:29.519
<v Speaker 1>instant stolen bases and you need wild cards like that

757
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:33.039
<v Speaker 1>in this particular format. In terso anielas last I looked

758
00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:35.079
<v Speaker 1>to me he still got the job. So we'll see.

759
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:39.159
<v Speaker 2>And I think he hit twenty three home runs last

760
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:41.800
<v Speaker 2>year at Triple A with ninety some odd RBIs with

761
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:46.599
<v Speaker 2>a good batting average. Yeah. Hey, if he's got I

762
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:51.079
<v Speaker 2>don't see how the podres right now can't have him

763
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:52.719
<v Speaker 2>in that everyday lineup.

764
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:55.599
<v Speaker 1>We'll see. I mean there's still i'm as sending some

765
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:58.760
<v Speaker 1>some low level one year signs that are out there

766
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that maybe they they bring in. But I'm betting in

767
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.239
<v Speaker 1>the thirty fourth round he gets a shot coming in

768
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.639
<v Speaker 1>number thirty five. Got another boring pitcher, Michael Lorenzen. He's

769
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:11.440
<v Speaker 1>not that good, but you need those guys. I dip

770
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:13.599
<v Speaker 1>back into the Tyler Black.

771
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:15.840
<v Speaker 2>World.

772
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I got him in the thirty sixth round, follow up

773
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:21.039
<v Speaker 1>by Brian Ramos, who Mike get a shot in the

774
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:24.679
<v Speaker 1>White Sox at thirty seven. Then I come back to

775
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:28.119
<v Speaker 1>the Star. Yeah, you know. Then I come back in

776
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the thirty eighth round. Remember Tristan McKenzie. Tristan McKenzie in

777
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:34.519
<v Speaker 1>the thirty eighth round. I thought that was pretty interesting.

778
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Cayden Dannon I was, I think he should go a

779
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:41.440
<v Speaker 1>lot higher as one of my targets, and I grabbed

780
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:44.800
<v Speaker 1>him in the thirty ninth round, the fortieth round. My

781
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:49.880
<v Speaker 1>buddy's Zach Veen at forty and at number forty one,

782
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was criminal that Chris Bryant was in

783
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:56.519
<v Speaker 1>the forty first round. Look, he might be nothing, but

784
00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:59.320
<v Speaker 1>in a draft and hold league, I'm willing to take

785
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:01.280
<v Speaker 1>a game on the f forty first round.

786
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:04.159
<v Speaker 2>If he's healthy and has a hot two weeks, get

787
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:05.920
<v Speaker 2>him going.

788
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Then I wanted to bet on the Colorado Rockies bullpen somehow,

789
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.599
<v Speaker 1>some way, but I went Victor Vodnik because we'll see

790
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:17.840
<v Speaker 1>what happens there. I cornered the market with my forty

791
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:22.800
<v Speaker 1>forty third pick with the Chicago White Sox, catching I

792
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:25.519
<v Speaker 1>already had. I only had Kyle Teal, so I went

793
00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Corey Lee. So I'm thinking for Lee starts and then

794
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I get Kyle Teal to back him up. Another picture

795
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:33.760
<v Speaker 1>that I like a lot is Carson wisen Hunt with

796
00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:36.119
<v Speaker 1>the San Francisco Giants. I got him in the forty

797
00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:40.280
<v Speaker 1>fifth round or forty fourth round. Use forty fifth round.

798
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:46.360
<v Speaker 1>My buddy, your buddy, Travis Bazana, coming into the Cleveland Guardians.

799
00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Yep, there you go.

800
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Then I got Mitch Spence with the Athletics. I think

801
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:53.679
<v Speaker 1>he's going to get some starts there. Who knows about that.

802
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Aj Minterter, I know he's a set up guy and

803
00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:00.719
<v Speaker 1>now in the Mets. But it's a good picture.

804
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's a good picture. Hey, if you don't you

805
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:08.440
<v Speaker 2>need pitching. It doesn't matter how many you draft. By

806
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the time you get to August, you're going to be

807
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:12.760
<v Speaker 2>one light, aren't you. It's just the way it works.

808
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Then, uh, you know it was it was going to

809
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:20.800
<v Speaker 1>be pedro Leone or this guy as my who the

810
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.760
<v Speaker 1>hell knows? And I went with not pedro Leone. I

811
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:26.639
<v Speaker 1>went with Jacob Marcy. I said I was going to

812
00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:28.199
<v Speaker 1>take him at the end of the draft. I took

813
00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:30.639
<v Speaker 1>him with a forty eighth pick. Came back with jose

814
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Leclerk and Robbie Snelling to wind it up. So, uh,

815
00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Snelling down.

816
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:38.639
<v Speaker 2>You might get something out of you might get something

817
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:42.239
<v Speaker 2>under the clerk in Oakland. I thought, so, yeah, Miller,

818
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:44.280
<v Speaker 2>there's no guarantees he's going to be healthy.

819
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's going to get hurt. So exactly what I

820
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:50.159
<v Speaker 1>was thinking the same thing with aj Mentor. I mean, look,

821
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:53.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe Edwin Diaz pulls a hammy and is

822
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:55.440
<v Speaker 1>out for three or four weeks and I get six

823
00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:56.920
<v Speaker 1>or seven save opportunities.

824
00:46:57.239 --> 00:46:59.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, good for you. That's that's a great way

825
00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to finish up. I'm just gonna give you. I made

826
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:05.840
<v Speaker 2>my last two picks in the second draft I was in,

827
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.639
<v Speaker 2>and I think you'll like these two. I went with

828
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:15.239
<v Speaker 2>Thomas Harrington, Oh okay, and yes, and Baldwin. I think

829
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Harrington's gonna I think all the love that Bubba Chandler

830
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:25.480
<v Speaker 2>is getting Thomas Harrington might get the results this year.

831
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:27.760
<v Speaker 1>And you went Drake Baldwin as your last pick.

832
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because we drafted the doubling down on braves catching.

833
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you double down a braves pat catching, which

834
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I prefer overrom doubling down the White Sox catching. But

835
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:43.599
<v Speaker 1>it is what it is.

836
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:46.280
<v Speaker 2>It is. Hopefully between the two of us we get

837
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:48.079
<v Speaker 2>one good one out of the two.

838
00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Right again, I would rather double down braves catching, but

839
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I have a White Sox. What can I say? So

840
00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:57.800
<v Speaker 1>that is our top ten. We review the Tompson in

841
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.760
<v Speaker 1>second base to me, let's go a lot through twenty.

842
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I'll read the names out and we'll talk about him.

843
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Luis Rahifo at eleven, Jake Cronenworth at twelve, up twelve spots,

844
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:10.440
<v Speaker 1>well done, Bryson Stott at thirteen, Colt Keith up six

845
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:14.880
<v Speaker 1>spots at number fourteen, Andres Zeminez at fifteen. Let's stop there.

846
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Jake Cronenworth will why up twelve spots?

847
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, you take a look at Jake Jake

848
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:27.119
<v Speaker 2>cronin Worth. Oh, I'll just be a second here. I

849
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:31.679
<v Speaker 2>hate pop ups. Did I ever mention that? There we go? Oh,

850
00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm on I'm on roder Wires page and I got

851
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:36.079
<v Speaker 2>an advertisement?

852
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh yeah, yeah.

853
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:43.320
<v Speaker 2>When you look at Croninworth, Okay, go back to twenty. Yeah,

854
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:45.920
<v Speaker 2>he's kind of boring. But if you take a look

855
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.760
<v Speaker 2>at twenty twenty one, twenty one homers, seventy one RBIs

856
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:55.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, seventeen eighty eight, twenty three not a good year,

857
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:58.320
<v Speaker 2>ten forty eight, twenty four, seventeen eighty three. So he's

858
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:02.119
<v Speaker 2>best at seventeen homers and three of the last four years. Okay,

859
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:05.199
<v Speaker 2>we've seen eighty RBIs plus in two of those years.

860
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:09.960
<v Speaker 2>And the batting averages, yeah, two thirty nine two forty

861
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:13.719
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in that range perfectly boring. But where do you

862
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:18.840
<v Speaker 2>find the eighty RBIs at second base? Jake Cronerworth. I

863
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I sort of get why he's down a little bit,

864
00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:25.840
<v Speaker 2>but I think he's a pretty safe play to produce

865
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:28.639
<v Speaker 2>some decent RBI numbers and home run numbers for you,

866
00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:29.559
<v Speaker 2>and he's gonna play.

867
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

868
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:36.960
<v Speaker 2>He also has dual eligibility, which also helps. So ah,

869
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I think when you get past oh, we'll say pick

870
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:44.159
<v Speaker 2>ten or so okay. A lot of these players like

871
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Grenefo and Cronerworth and Stott, Keith and Himnez, they're certa

872
00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:52.360
<v Speaker 2>of interchangeable. You need spate speed, while Stott and Jiminez power.

873
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.239
<v Speaker 2>You can look at cold Keith in the upside. Cronin

874
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Worth is just boring old Jake Croninworth and he gets

875
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:00.599
<v Speaker 2>it done. So I've moved him up because of that.

876
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:05.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jake Croniworth was a guy that I mentioned in

877
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:10.679
<v Speaker 1>my targets as look, he's boring, but I think Tim

878
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:12.440
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely right if you're looking for a little bit

879
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:16.199
<v Speaker 1>more power and RBIs, it's a guy that is not

880
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:19.360
<v Speaker 1>a terrible pick for your second base. I like it.

881
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Nicole Keith. You've also moved up six lots. Tell us why.

882
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, because he didn't his first home run last year

883
00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:29.320
<v Speaker 2>until May twenty fourth, I believe it. I believe it

884
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:31.679
<v Speaker 2>was June first was the day that he finally got

885
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:35.559
<v Speaker 2>is ops over six hundred. He didn't get out of

886
00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:37.840
<v Speaker 2>the gate very strong. But all I have to do

887
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:39.679
<v Speaker 2>is take a look at what he did at double

888
00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and TRIPAA in twenty twenty three, and I believe the

889
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:45.800
<v Speaker 2>best is yet to come. It's going to be at

890
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:49.719
<v Speaker 2>first base according to the Tigers, but I think there's

891
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:52.199
<v Speaker 2>a lot more potential there than people are giving him

892
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:56.920
<v Speaker 2>credit for. And I like cold Keith a lot. I

893
00:50:56.960 --> 00:51:00.960
<v Speaker 2>think he gives you the potential for twenty five plus

894
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:01.519
<v Speaker 2>home runs.

895
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Who would you rather own this season? Colt Keith or oh,

896
00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:09.039
<v Speaker 1>just the name just escaped me. The first baseman with

897
00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the Cubs, Michael Bush, Cole Keith, Yeah, I think so too. Yeah.

898
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Coming at number fifteen as Andre z Eeminez, down three

899
00:51:20.960 --> 00:51:26.480
<v Speaker 1>spots from where the NFBC has Why why why the lower.

900
00:51:26.280 --> 00:51:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Ranking because I've got Cole Keith and j Cronenworth up higher.

901
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:34.599
<v Speaker 2>In a nutshell, if you're looking for speed, im and

902
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.760
<v Speaker 2>as We'll give you that speed, but there's no power, okay,

903
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:41.000
<v Speaker 2>And I think you can find speed at second base

904
00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:46.199
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of different areas, okay, So I'm going

905
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:49.280
<v Speaker 2>to give the power edge and the RBI potential a

906
00:51:49.320 --> 00:51:51.119
<v Speaker 2>bit of a bump up in this range. And that's

907
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:53.440
<v Speaker 2>exactly where the did. I'm not down on him, and

908
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:58.320
<v Speaker 2>as I just you know, i'd rather look at the

909
00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:00.400
<v Speaker 2>RBI totals from Kronerworth Keith.

910
00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:03.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm down on Zeminez when I mentioned it when he

911
00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:08.119
<v Speaker 1>was moved to Toronto. I think he's overpaid. I don't

912
00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:12.239
<v Speaker 1>think he's that good. He's he's got speed and nothing else.

913
00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:16.360
<v Speaker 1>So the guys like that have a tendency to kind

914
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:18.239
<v Speaker 1>of flame out. I think we're starting to see that

915
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:19.960
<v Speaker 1>with m ands Well.

916
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:23.800
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I've got Bryson stud up a few spots,

917
00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:25.880
<v Speaker 2>because at least there's some power with Stuck.

918
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:29.519
<v Speaker 1>And does not hit the ball hard at all. I mean,

919
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:33.199
<v Speaker 1>there's no power there, and yeah, you know, in the end,

920
00:52:33.239 --> 00:52:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you need power because that's that's how you have a

921
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:37.760
<v Speaker 1>higher batting average. Balls in play by hitting the ballhard

922
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:39.519
<v Speaker 1>so it gets to the infield for hard or so,

923
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:44.039
<v Speaker 1>and speed fades so just be careful. Everybody's he's a

924
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:47.039
<v Speaker 1>good defender, so it's going to get a chance to play.

925
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:51.880
<v Speaker 1>But man, offensively, I don't know. Yeah, it's through sixteen

926
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:55.320
<v Speaker 1>through twenty. Nico Horner at sixteen, Zach Goeloff at seventeen,

927
00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Indy up five slots. I love that at number eighteen,

928
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.239
<v Speaker 1>s Rise for Lewis A Rise is down six and

929
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:05.800
<v Speaker 1>glabor Torres down five. Let's start with glabor Tourus. It's

930
00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:06.920
<v Speaker 1>glabor Tourists him.

931
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Come on, yeah, it's glaber Taurus. It's about where I

932
00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:15.320
<v Speaker 2>think you should be after that twenty twenty three season.

933
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, hey, he's got to he's got to find

934
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:22.280
<v Speaker 2>a way to bounce back to twenty two and twenty three.

935
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:28.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm not convinced it's gonna happen in Detroit. So yeah,

936
00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:32.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm not overly bullish on Glabra Taurus at at all.

937
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I you know, when I when I look at what

938
00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:40.280
<v Speaker 2>cronin Worth and Keith Offer, okay, and possibly Jonathan India, Yeah,

939
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm very happy to look at those three players

940
00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:47.280
<v Speaker 2>if I'm looking for power and is glabor tor Is

941
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:48.760
<v Speaker 2>going to hit in the leadofs But where's he going

942
00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:51.360
<v Speaker 2>to hit in Detroit? It's a little bit of a mess.

943
00:53:51.400 --> 00:53:55.079
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm just not bullish on Glabor Turus.

944
00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:57.119
<v Speaker 1>So if I go back on the way back machine,

945
00:53:57.199 --> 00:54:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and I could have this scenario wrong. But Tim in

946
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:04.039
<v Speaker 1>one of our dynasty leagues, made a really nice trade

947
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:06.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say four or five years ago, maybe longer,

948
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:11.480
<v Speaker 1>where he traded Michael Trout for Juan Soto and Glabor Torres.

949
00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Is Glabor Torres the right second player?

950
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes? And Tristan McKenzie was the third.

951
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh was it Tristan McCaw gret. Wow. Yeah. So obviously

952
00:54:20.599 --> 00:54:24.880
<v Speaker 1>it was a great trade regardless of anything. But would

953
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you trade it for Labor Torres back five years ago?

954
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Did you expect more out of Labor Torres than you

955
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:33.280
<v Speaker 1>ultimately got?

956
00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

957
00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I did too. I think that's the right answer. He

958
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:41.239
<v Speaker 1>just well, it's been good but not great.

959
00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, if I'm not mistaken, when we made

960
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:51.760
<v Speaker 2>that deal, Torres was coming off that big. It was

961
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:54.039
<v Speaker 2>either as I think it was his second year. He's

962
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:57.960
<v Speaker 2>now twenty eight. The data is LORNI Yeah, yeah, I

963
00:54:57.960 --> 00:55:00.679
<v Speaker 2>think when we acquired him it was after the twenty

964
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:03.719
<v Speaker 2>four seventy seven rookie season, and then he went to

965
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:08.199
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight ninety and Ecstasy was ruling the roost. You know,

966
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:11.760
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight homers. After that we saw three nine in

967
00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:15.480
<v Speaker 2>the short season and twenty four to twenty five seventy

968
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:18.199
<v Speaker 2>six sixty, which is fine. But fifteen home run sixty

969
00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:22.440
<v Speaker 2>three RBIs and a two fifty seven average, that's not. No,

970
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:28.159
<v Speaker 2>we weren't expecting twenty twenty four. Now, granted we had

971
00:55:28.199 --> 00:55:32.079
<v Speaker 2>three really good years, but I just you know, his

972
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:34.559
<v Speaker 2>strike up straight. Struck out one hundred and thirty six

973
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:38.679
<v Speaker 2>times last year. Okay, the prior year to that, he

974
00:55:38.760 --> 00:55:42.320
<v Speaker 2>struck out ninety eight times, and he was doing some

975
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:43.360
<v Speaker 2>flailing last year.

976
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking at the data now, and I mean,

977
00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:50.599
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's he's a good player. It's just I

978
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:52.880
<v Speaker 1>thought there'd be more. I mean, the average ex of

979
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:55.719
<v Speaker 1>a lost and heart ed rates are twenty three percentile

980
00:55:55.840 --> 00:56:00.360
<v Speaker 1>forty percentile. There's no speed. The speed is just just apeared.

981
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:04.079
<v Speaker 1>He controls the strikes un fairly well, but at twenty

982
00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:06.840
<v Speaker 1>eight years old, I would have thought the speed would

983
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:09.519
<v Speaker 1>have stayed intact or we would have seen a power

984
00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:12.079
<v Speaker 1>purst and they both have turned the wrong way.

985
00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have. And you know, you go back to

986
00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:19.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen and you look at that. You know, as

987
00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:23.039
<v Speaker 2>a twenty two year old, thirty eight homers ninety RBIs

988
00:56:24.039 --> 00:56:27.760
<v Speaker 2>okay to seventy eight average, and he scored ninety six runs.

989
00:56:27.320 --> 00:56:31.519
<v Speaker 2>That's an impressive season. He hasn't come anywhere close to

990
00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:32.239
<v Speaker 2>that since.

991
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that twenty two season, his average ex of vlassi

992
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:39.400
<v Speaker 1>was seventy six percent of hard rates, seventy seven percentile.

993
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:42.199
<v Speaker 1>And then this year, what did I say, like twenty three,

994
00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's just dropped off and twenty eight that

995
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:48.519
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make any sense, which then you begin to wonder

996
00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:49.920
<v Speaker 1>if he's really twenty eight.

997
00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know, but I'm not betting on real

998
00:56:57.440 --> 00:56:59.639
<v Speaker 2>good things from Torres. I think he'll be an okay,

999
00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:02.239
<v Speaker 2>second basement. But there's a lot of guys that I

1000
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:04.840
<v Speaker 2>would prefer to have on my team than glabor Taurus.

1001
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Yep, for sure, take another break, Timmy come back and

1002
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:20.800
<v Speaker 1>let's start popping around these uh after twenty here, we've

1003
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:24.320
<v Speaker 1>got twenty one. We've got Brandon Uh, Brandon Lao, it's

1004
00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Brandon lau right.

1005
00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh, yeah, it's it's low. Yeah. The other one's low.

1006
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And then we're gonna skip twenty two for a moment.

1007
00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Come back to that. Uh Brendon Donovan at twenty three,

1008
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Jose Cavalerio at twenty four, Hassan Kim at twenty five.

1009
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Is that that's Hassan? Is that Hayson? That's a doctor kid?

1010
00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:47.400
<v Speaker 2>That's that's a Dodger kid.

1011
00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Spencer Horowitz, that's uh at twenty six. Uh, Thyrus

1012
00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Astrati at twenty seven, Otto Lopez a twenty eight, Willy

1013
00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Willie Castro at twenty nine, and Dylan Moore thirty like

1014
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Moore for drafting Wold leagues. But at number twenty

1015
00:58:03.559 --> 00:58:06.400
<v Speaker 1>two is Xander Bogarts.

1016
00:58:06.880 --> 00:58:09.199
<v Speaker 2>I hate I hate me some Bullgarts, don't I?

1017
00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:12.440
<v Speaker 1>He is thirty, He is going ninth overall in the NFBC,

1018
00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and Tim has him at twenty second. Explain yourself, McLeod.

1019
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I think a lot of people are are

1020
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:26.079
<v Speaker 2>betting on the Xander Bogarts from twenty nineteen and not

1021
00:58:26.199 --> 00:58:29.880
<v Speaker 2>the one that we've seen since. Okay, since twenty nineteen

1022
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:32.159
<v Speaker 2>when he had that big season in Boston, had thirty

1023
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:35.119
<v Speaker 2>three home runs, runs, drove in one hundred and seventeen

1024
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:38.079
<v Speaker 2>follow that up with an eleven home run season, a

1025
00:58:38.159 --> 00:58:41.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty three home run season fifteen nineteen, and last year

1026
00:58:41.920 --> 00:58:46.199
<v Speaker 2>eleven home runs, forty four RBIs two sixty. The batting

1027
00:58:46.239 --> 00:58:48.920
<v Speaker 2>average has gone from the three hundreds down to two

1028
00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:52.679
<v Speaker 2>sixty four, trending down from the priory to eighty five.

1029
00:58:53.199 --> 00:58:58.119
<v Speaker 2>And I think if you're looking at Xander Bulgarts, we're

1030
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:01.599
<v Speaker 2>talking about a player who hasn't hit twenty home runs

1031
00:59:01.639 --> 00:59:04.960
<v Speaker 2>but once in the past five years. He hasn't bested

1032
00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:08.280
<v Speaker 2>eighty RBIs in the past five years. He had a

1033
00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:11.480
<v Speaker 2>high of nineteen stolen bases going back two years ago.

1034
00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I just don't get it. I don't see Xander Bogarts

1035
00:59:16.679 --> 00:59:19.440
<v Speaker 2>as a strong option at second base, and I think

1036
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:21.840
<v Speaker 2>the numbers back me up on it. So hey, if

1037
00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:25.519
<v Speaker 2>you're hoping for the glory days of twenty nineteen, I'm no,

1038
00:59:25.559 --> 00:59:26.280
<v Speaker 2>they're gone.

1039
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the power looks like it's gone twenty eight percent

1040
00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:32.800
<v Speaker 1>on on bat speed, hard at rate sixteenth percentime Again,

1041
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:34.960
<v Speaker 1>little injured last year, so you give them a little

1042
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:36.800
<v Speaker 1>bit of a passer. But go back to twenty three,

1043
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:39.320
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't showing any power. The power was even worse

1044
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:40.039
<v Speaker 1>than twenty three.

1045
00:59:40.639 --> 00:59:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and look at twenty two fifteen home runs.

1046
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, It's the only thing I can I can

1047
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:52.840
<v Speaker 2>say or see when I look at this is people

1048
00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:55.159
<v Speaker 2>are betting that at some point in time he'll have

1049
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:57.960
<v Speaker 2>another big year, and I'm not. I'm not gonna play

1050
00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:00.800
<v Speaker 2>that game with thirty two thirty two now, Yeah, yeah,

1051
01:00:01.039 --> 01:00:03.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm not playing that game with Bullgerts.

1052
01:00:03.920 --> 01:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>His sprint speeds tommytics statistically or higher now than his

1053
01:00:09.440 --> 01:00:12.679
<v Speaker 1>hard hit rates and exit VELOSSI. So he's more of

1054
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a stolen stolen base threat than he is a home

1055
01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>run guy.

1056
01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Scary, isn't it.

1057
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not what we thought Xander Bargertz was gonna be.

1058
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:25.119
<v Speaker 1>He's really tailed off again. Thirty two makes you wonder,

1059
01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe an old thirty two so interesting?

1060
01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:34.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, like I'm I might get chastised for making

1061
01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:38.239
<v Speaker 2>the move, but I just don't see. Yeah, I just

1062
01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:40.199
<v Speaker 2>don't see how you're gonna rank him higher, At least

1063
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:41.239
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

1064
01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Jose Cavalerio at twenty four in Bryce Bryce Terrang at six.

1065
01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>What's the big difference between the two players?

1066
01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Terrang is going to play every day. Josey Cavallero

1067
01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:02.679
<v Speaker 2>is a super sub We don't know when he's gonna play.

1068
01:01:02.719 --> 01:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>He has no position, he's not listed in the starting lineup,

1069
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:09.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's not part of the starting lineup. He played

1070
01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:14.679
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight games short, thirty seven at third. I can't

1071
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>remember how many at second base. But he's all over

1072
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>the place, and again, there's not much power sitting there.

1073
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:25.559
<v Speaker 2>It's all in the speed. The big difference for me

1074
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>is I feel certain that terrag is going to get

1075
01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:32.320
<v Speaker 2>in if l six hundred at bats. I don't feel

1076
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:33.519
<v Speaker 2>the same way about Cavallero.

1077
01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's disappointing because you're but he's got

1078
01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the speed, obviously no power, can hit a little bit.

1079
01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:44.599
<v Speaker 1>But Taylor Walls is the better defender at short. That's

1080
01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>why he's gonna play there. I think ultimately that's when

1081
01:01:47.960 --> 01:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Carson Williams gets a chance there at second base, Brandon

1082
01:01:51.079 --> 01:01:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Low he's not gonna get an opportunity there, and third

1083
01:01:54.159 --> 01:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>basis Junior Caminario.

1084
01:01:56.119 --> 01:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's gonna own that position until his last

1085
01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:00.639
<v Speaker 2>year arbitration.

1086
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Junior Junior Caminario and Jose Cavalerio say that three times

1087
01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:11.519
<v Speaker 1>fast might be the polar opposite of players.

1088
01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:16.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, they are yeah, ne Doute.

1089
01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:18.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, gim me give me your love here for

1090
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:20.079
<v Speaker 1>hay Son Kim.

1091
01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:24.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm right, I'll put it real simple. Uh, the Dodgers

1092
01:02:24.679 --> 01:02:28.199
<v Speaker 2>believe the Dodgers are a good team. They moved on

1093
01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:32.719
<v Speaker 2>from Gavin Lucks. Uh, that's enough for me to want

1094
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:35.880
<v Speaker 2>to put Kim in the top thirty. I think the

1095
01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:38.079
<v Speaker 2>speed's real. I think he's got the hit tool of

1096
01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:41.920
<v Speaker 2>solid and the glove is excellent. So if the Dodgers,

1097
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:44.119
<v Speaker 2>if it's good enough for the Dodgers, it's good enough

1098
01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:48.639
<v Speaker 2>for Tim zero yeah, point zero.

1099
01:02:48.960 --> 01:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Just letting the zero point zero, So I didn't want

1100
01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to know.

1101
01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:56.199
<v Speaker 2>I can't hear it, but I know it's there.

1102
01:02:56.559 --> 01:02:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to make sure it got out there

1103
01:02:59.119 --> 01:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>with nobody.

1104
01:03:04.159 --> 01:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm sort of assuming there was a zero zero in

1105
01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:07.079
<v Speaker 2>there somewhere.

1106
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate everything he said about Kim. I agree with

1107
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you with the Dodgers believe. It's hard for people not

1108
01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to believe. But we'll see what happens. And the fact

1109
01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that they move Gavin Lux so I still think is

1110
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a pretty good player. And I think they

1111
01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:22.079
<v Speaker 1>do believe.

1112
01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, if they didn't, they'd still have Lucks, right

1113
01:03:28.159 --> 01:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>that is correct.

1114
01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Thyrou Estrada, he's the guy that people seem to really

1115
01:03:32.559 --> 01:03:35.199
<v Speaker 1>like this season as the dark horse because he's got

1116
01:03:35.519 --> 01:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>full time opportunity in Colorado. I think they moved on

1117
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:41.519
<v Speaker 1>from Brendan Rodgers. I kind of went under the raidar.

1118
01:03:41.519 --> 01:03:44.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we even talked about that, that they

1119
01:03:44.119 --> 01:03:47.239
<v Speaker 1>defeated Brendan Rodgers. The last I looked he doesn't have

1120
01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:50.199
<v Speaker 1>a job, But Thiro Estrada looks like he's going to

1121
01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>be your second baseman. Colorado should get an uptick and performance.

1122
01:03:56.320 --> 01:03:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah blah blah. You like him a little

1123
01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:01.519
<v Speaker 1>bit better than where he's going. Are you in agreement

1124
01:04:01.559 --> 01:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>with that or what do you think Estrada provides a season?

1125
01:04:05.239 --> 01:04:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, the thing that concerns me in a big way

1126
01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:11.519
<v Speaker 2>with a strata is if you look at twenty twenty

1127
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:15.159
<v Speaker 2>two and twenty twenty three, they are mirror images of so,

1128
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:18.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, fourteen homers in both years twenty one and

1129
01:04:18.119 --> 01:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty three, stolen bases, okay, the batting average two sixty two,

1130
01:04:22.960 --> 01:04:27.320
<v Speaker 2>seventy one three, twenty two, three fifteen. Basically we heading

1131
01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>into last year, we saw a guy that's gonna hit

1132
01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:34.280
<v Speaker 2>fourteen fifteen home runs, drive in fifty sixty, and steal

1133
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty low twenties in the basis and last year, for

1134
01:04:38.039 --> 01:04:42.119
<v Speaker 2>whatever reason, he ended up in the minors. He only

1135
01:04:42.159 --> 01:04:44.119
<v Speaker 2>played half a season. He had nine home runs, he

1136
01:04:44.159 --> 01:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>stole two bases, Like, how do you go from twenty

1137
01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>one to twenty three to two? Like, it's just yeah,

1138
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:56.400
<v Speaker 2>he's moving to a good, a good opportunity in Colorado.

1139
01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to bet on a somewhat of a bout

1140
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:04.719
<v Speaker 2>it's back. I don't think I'm it's not like I'm

1141
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:07.880
<v Speaker 2>all in, but it has to be better than last year. Yeah,

1142
01:05:08.079 --> 01:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>especially after seeing two very consistent seasons prior to that.

1143
01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:14.639
<v Speaker 2>So I'm in, but I'm not all in.

1144
01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, I think that's fair. I mean, I just

1145
01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>know he's a sexy pick this year.

1146
01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:23.280
<v Speaker 2>He definitely definitely is. He's moved to Colorado, He's gonna

1147
01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:25.559
<v Speaker 2>have forty home runs to steal sixty bases.

1148
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Right number thirty, Yeah, number thirty. I just gonna highlight

1149
01:05:29.559 --> 01:05:32.079
<v Speaker 1>as a great draft and hoole pick. I wish I

1150
01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:37.239
<v Speaker 1>would have got him. I didn't. But Dylan Moore plays everywhere. Yeah,

1151
01:05:37.239 --> 01:05:40.719
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't hit for anything, but he plays everywhere. It

1152
01:05:41.519 --> 01:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>has to be not much pop, but he's he can

1153
01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>help you tim in deeper leagues.

1154
01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you know, even when you start looking

1155
01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:54.440
<v Speaker 2>at fifteen team leagues, a guy like Dylan Moore on

1156
01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:59.679
<v Speaker 2>your bench, okay, gives you coverage it basically every position

1157
01:05:59.719 --> 01:06:03.639
<v Speaker 2>in the field other than catcher, and that counts. In

1158
01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:07.320
<v Speaker 2>last year ten home runs, he scored fifty three the

1159
01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:11.559
<v Speaker 2>batting averages, no hack, but thirty two stolen basins. He

1160
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:16.039
<v Speaker 2>actually had his highest his highest plate appearances last year

1161
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:18.719
<v Speaker 2>at four forty one, playing all over the boys. But

1162
01:06:18.800 --> 01:06:20.880
<v Speaker 2>he's a guy that I think you can punt pencil

1163
01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:25.719
<v Speaker 2>in for five to ten home runs. Okay, he'll score

1164
01:06:25.760 --> 01:06:28.760
<v Speaker 2>a few for you, and he'll steal twenty bases And

1165
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll take that sitting on my bench even in fifteen

1166
01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:33.719
<v Speaker 2>team leagues.

1167
01:06:35.239 --> 01:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, to mean, let's pop around the rest of them,

1168
01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:38.280
<v Speaker 1>shall we.

1169
01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Sure there's some fun ones in here.

1170
01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Morel going as a twenty fifth second base so

1171
01:06:44.559 --> 01:06:47.199
<v Speaker 1>you got him at thirty two. He's now with Tampa Bay.

1172
01:06:47.239 --> 01:06:50.199
<v Speaker 1>For those who don't remember, he does have third base eligibility.

1173
01:06:51.199 --> 01:06:54.519
<v Speaker 1>It's a piece. Home runs are bust.

1174
01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it it's home runs are bust. And in Tampa Bay,

1175
01:06:57.599 --> 01:06:59.559
<v Speaker 2>they won't take that much bust before he's in a

1176
01:06:59.559 --> 01:07:03.760
<v Speaker 2>platoon situation, and I'm trying to avoid platoon players. So

1177
01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:08.679
<v Speaker 2>I've got Morrell ranked a little bit lower Christian Campbell.

1178
01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:11.119
<v Speaker 1>You haven't a thirty four, He's gone at twenty seven.

1179
01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I know you like Christian Campbell a lot? Is he?

1180
01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Is he going a little too early as the three

1181
01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty first player off the board? Uh?

1182
01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, hey, the hype, the hype has caught up to

1183
01:07:25.079 --> 01:07:28.199
<v Speaker 2>Christian Campbell and people are bumping them up. There is

1184
01:07:28.239 --> 01:07:30.440
<v Speaker 2>a chance that he breaks Camp. I don't think it's

1185
01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:32.079
<v Speaker 2>going to happen. I think they want to give von

1186
01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Grissom another look, and possibly David Hamilton. I think Campbell

1187
01:07:37.280 --> 01:07:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see him break Camp, but I

1188
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's going to happen. I think we'll see

1189
01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:44.679
<v Speaker 2>him a month into the season. Then there's a lot

1190
01:07:44.679 --> 01:07:49.519
<v Speaker 2>of hype. You know, he was everybody's consensus number one

1191
01:07:49.559 --> 01:07:50.920
<v Speaker 2>minor league player last year.

1192
01:07:52.159 --> 01:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't mine, but yeah he was tough three yep, yep.

1193
01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, there's a lot of hype there, and I

1194
01:07:57.440 --> 01:07:59.599
<v Speaker 2>think the hype is driving his value up a little

1195
01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:01.840
<v Speaker 2>bit too. If he doesn't have a job for the

1196
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:05.239
<v Speaker 2>first six weeks of the season, that's not helping you

1197
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>out much, is it.

1198
01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Wan Brido interesting up twenty three slots and Travis Bizzana

1199
01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>up eighteen slots. Why Jan Brito so high?

1200
01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, according to what I'm looking at, he's got a

1201
01:08:23.800 --> 01:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>job and that helps.

1202
01:08:28.640 --> 01:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean he's got a job?

1203
01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh, he's got a full time job. Really, yes, I

1204
01:08:35.399 --> 01:08:38.560
<v Speaker 2>believe he does. Unless I'm missing something here. Yes, he

1205
01:08:38.680 --> 01:08:43.439
<v Speaker 2>is your full time second basement for the Cleveland Guardians,

1206
01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:46.279
<v Speaker 2>hitting in the seventh spot.

1207
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:48.880
<v Speaker 1>So I would have thought it was Gabriel Arias, but

1208
01:08:49.079 --> 01:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe not. Maybe he's the utility guy. Yeah, I missed

1209
01:08:52.680 --> 01:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that one. I if Jan Brito's at second base, expect

1210
01:08:57.960 --> 01:09:02.399
<v Speaker 1>a long term deal signed by Bazana coming into the season.

1211
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you. I mean, I do like Juan Brito.

1212
01:09:05.079 --> 01:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>He is a Cleveland Guardians type of player. I mean,

1213
01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>he's a five floor guy. But boy, I really think

1214
01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that that opens it up a little bit for Travis Bizan.

1215
01:09:17.119 --> 01:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting.

1216
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, I just thought anybody that has a job,

1217
01:09:22.479 --> 01:09:26.199
<v Speaker 2>okay and tentatively a full time job, should be in

1218
01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:29.560
<v Speaker 2>that thirty to forty range for the most part, and

1219
01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:35.560
<v Speaker 2>right now I think people might be sleeping a little

1220
01:09:35.560 --> 01:09:39.039
<v Speaker 2>bit on Wan Brito. Only time will tell, but I

1221
01:09:39.039 --> 01:09:42.079
<v Speaker 2>think he deserves a better ranking than fifty ninth.

1222
01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we talked about him. We did our Cleveland breakdown

1223
01:09:45.479 --> 01:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and then the American League Central and I like him

1224
01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:49.680
<v Speaker 1>in twenty three und runs excuse the twenty one home

1225
01:09:49.800 --> 01:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>runs last season, thirteen stolen basis really good contact. I mean,

1226
01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:57.199
<v Speaker 1>it's a solid player. Grew up in a Colorado Rocky system.

1227
01:09:57.399 --> 01:10:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Quicktim who was he traded for Chris Bryant, Nolan Jones?

1228
01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Nolan?

1229
01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>He was the straight up player Dolan Jones for for

1230
01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:11.680
<v Speaker 1>jan Brito. So good call by the great Tim McCleod

1231
01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>pushing him up. Let's see here, Jory Mateo twenty one

1232
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>slots above. Let me ask you a question, I mean

1233
01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:24.039
<v Speaker 1>wore Mitteo obviously, is I think we'll run into a

1234
01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>utility slot unless yep, our buddy Jackson holiday? What's the bed?

1235
01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm what what? What?

1236
01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>What day? Does what day? Do the Orioles change the sheets?

1237
01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Well? One of the problems with Matteo is uh he

1238
01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:50.239
<v Speaker 2>had UCL reconstruction on his non grants is non throwing

1239
01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:56.359
<v Speaker 2>at elbow. But when you look at at Mateo, you

1240
01:10:56.439 --> 01:10:59.359
<v Speaker 2>look at twenty two, okay, he stole thirty five bases.

1241
01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:03.199
<v Speaker 2>You look at twenty three thirty two. Last year he

1242
01:11:03.399 --> 01:11:06.680
<v Speaker 2>was hurt, dinged up, he only stole thirteen bases. I

1243
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:12.680
<v Speaker 2>see hory Gey Matteo as a twenty plus stolen based

1244
01:11:12.680 --> 01:11:15.520
<v Speaker 2>type guy, even playing in a reduced role.

1245
01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>So well that that's not my question. Well, I think

1246
01:11:19.479 --> 01:11:22.279
<v Speaker 1>we all know who Horry Matteo is. R gat guy,

1247
01:11:22.640 --> 01:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>really good defender, right, he's if Jackson Holiday doesn't play, well,

1248
01:11:28.960 --> 01:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna give it to Horry Miteo. Maybe they bring

1249
01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>in Kobe Mayo. What when? When are the Orioles gonna? When?

1250
01:11:34.880 --> 01:11:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Should we? You and I worry that Jackson Holiday might

1251
01:11:38.239 --> 01:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>get demotive?

1252
01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:45.920
<v Speaker 2>We shouldn't really. Wow, Yeah, I've gotten I've got Mateo

1253
01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:48.319
<v Speaker 2>at forty one because I said, I think even in

1254
01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:51.479
<v Speaker 2>a super utility role.

1255
01:11:52.119 --> 01:11:55.079
<v Speaker 1>So you don't think they're start You have no worry

1256
01:11:55.119 --> 01:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>about Jackson Holiday, that's my question. You got Jackson ally

1257
01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:02.079
<v Speaker 1>at ten. You have no worry that Jackson Holiday is

1258
01:12:02.119 --> 01:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be demoted? Get off the snides quietly, you know, poorly,

1259
01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you're all.

1260
01:12:07.600 --> 01:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>In I am all in. If he doesn't break camp

1261
01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:16.800
<v Speaker 2>with Baltimore and Stick, I'm.

1262
01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Willing to answer my question, what date do we worry

1263
01:12:20.119 --> 01:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>If he's got a one ninety batting average.

1264
01:12:24.520 --> 01:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>If he's got one ninety batting average with date, do

1265
01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:30.079
<v Speaker 2>we worry me? First?

1266
01:12:30.359 --> 01:12:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, I'm ala Jackson.

1267
01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:39.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm all in. I feel confident that he has

1268
01:12:39.560 --> 01:12:43.479
<v Speaker 2>the stuff that this time around he's gonna it's gonna work.

1269
01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:47.359
<v Speaker 2>So Mateo for me, isn't the He's not the answer.

1270
01:12:47.359 --> 01:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>He's just twenty plus stolen bases if healthy.

1271
01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:53.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised that fifty two with me. Rfield doesn't have

1272
01:12:53.399 --> 01:12:54.359
<v Speaker 1>a job yet.

1273
01:12:55.960 --> 01:12:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in the game of musical Chairs, you would think

1274
01:12:58.880 --> 01:13:04.520
<v Speaker 2>he should. He's a perfect late inning replacement defensive. Yeah,

1275
01:13:04.560 --> 01:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>i'd provide, Yeah, hey you need to stolen base in

1276
01:13:07.760 --> 01:13:10.920
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning. Drag went off the bench and away

1277
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:16.079
<v Speaker 2>you go. So yeah, I started like I started, like

1278
01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:19.640
<v Speaker 2>with Merrifield in a draft and hold I do too,

1279
01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:19.960
<v Speaker 2>you know.

1280
01:13:20.359 --> 01:13:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I wanted to grab him, but I just liked

1281
01:13:23.479 --> 01:13:26.880
<v Speaker 1>other players, but I considered him. I'm like, it doesn't

1282
01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:29.079
<v Speaker 1>have a job. I can't believe he's going to announce

1283
01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:31.439
<v Speaker 1>his retirement. I mean that would seem strange to me.

1284
01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it would see strange. Seems strange to me as well.

1285
01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Christian Moore coming in at sixty two the story is

1286
01:13:39.479 --> 01:13:42.439
<v Speaker 1>drafted as the number one pick by the Angels. The

1287
01:13:42.439 --> 01:13:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Angels have a history of quickly moving their number one

1288
01:13:46.119 --> 01:13:51.159
<v Speaker 1>draft picks through the system. Kristan Moore got hurt a

1289
01:13:51.159 --> 01:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit in August, but prior to that looked really good.

1290
01:13:55.760 --> 01:13:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Do we see Christian Moore in twenty twenty five.

1291
01:14:01.079 --> 01:14:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Based on the team that he's playing for. The odds

1292
01:14:04.399 --> 01:14:06.880
<v Speaker 2>are good, Yes, that's why I have him listed. He's

1293
01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:11.479
<v Speaker 2>down a little bit as to NFBC, But once you

1294
01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:15.680
<v Speaker 2>get past pick forty and you know forty five, they're

1295
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:18.239
<v Speaker 2>all a roll of the dice, they really are.

1296
01:14:20.760 --> 01:14:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Or Elvis Martinez I think that's a good call from

1297
01:14:23.159 --> 01:14:29.039
<v Speaker 1>you at the fifty first. So who provides more value

1298
01:14:29.119 --> 01:14:33.079
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty five of dal Amador at fifty or

1299
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Elvis Martinez at fifty one, Nick York at fifty three

1300
01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>or Christian Moore? I know you have him ranked a

1301
01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:42.439
<v Speaker 1>certain ways, it's just don't give me the rankings. If

1302
01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>everything went the right way, who do you think has

1303
01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a chance to potentially blow up out of all four

1304
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>of those guys given the opportunity, skill level, et cetera. Martinez, Okay,

1305
01:14:56.840 --> 01:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>do you think the opportunity is going to be there?

1306
01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Think it could be, It should be. The Jase team

1307
01:15:03.239 --> 01:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>is terrible. You look at you look at their lineup

1308
01:15:06.039 --> 01:15:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and once you take once you get past you know,

1309
01:15:09.039 --> 01:15:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Springer is okay, I guess, and Vlatty once you get

1310
01:15:11.640 --> 01:15:16.279
<v Speaker 2>past Lattie, they ain't much there. I think they've got

1311
01:15:16.319 --> 01:15:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Kirk keating in the cleanup spot.

1312
01:15:19.239 --> 01:15:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay, is that true?

1313
01:15:22.199 --> 01:15:24.000
<v Speaker 2>He said? He said, I think they're going to slotted

1314
01:15:24.000 --> 01:15:28.840
<v Speaker 2>into the fourth spot in the line up. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1315
01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:29.720
<v Speaker 2>it's it's ugly.

1316
01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:39.039
<v Speaker 1>Richard Julianne just it looks like he might be buried had.

1317
01:15:37.319 --> 01:15:41.479
<v Speaker 2>A shot didn't happen. Hey, I still have them listed

1318
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:46.359
<v Speaker 2>along with Videl, Brujon, et cetera, et cetera. But I'm

1319
01:15:46.399 --> 01:15:47.479
<v Speaker 2>not holding out hope.

1320
01:15:47.880 --> 01:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, courtis me just broke my heart just unfortunately not developed, Timmy.

1321
01:15:53.920 --> 01:15:55.880
<v Speaker 1>It's take another break, come back. I got the hard

1322
01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>questions for you.

1323
01:15:57.520 --> 01:16:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Okay, good, really well, such a great job at this

1324
01:16:11.520 --> 01:16:12.840
<v Speaker 3>It's a it's pretty impressive.

1325
01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, rich I appreciate I appreciate the kind words. I

1326
01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:20.479
<v Speaker 2>try and put put a little extra thought into everything.

1327
01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>That's it definitely shows, all right, which which player not

1328
01:16:26.039 --> 01:16:30.399
<v Speaker 1>in the top ten? Yes, scoots into the top ten?

1329
01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:32.439
<v Speaker 1>This at the end of the season.

1330
01:16:34.720 --> 01:16:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

1331
01:16:35.920 --> 01:16:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You put a lot of you put a lot of

1332
01:16:37.720 --> 01:16:40.079
<v Speaker 1>guys you already put into the top ten.

1333
01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Cole Keat, Yeah, that's that's what I thought.

1334
01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:45.039
<v Speaker 1>And who drops out?

1335
01:16:45.600 --> 01:16:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Who drops out? Marcus Semi, I.

1336
01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Was hoping you'd pick one of the big threes.

1337
01:16:55.960 --> 01:17:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh, well, they're they're all pretty close. Josey L. Tuove

1338
01:17:04.119 --> 01:17:08.159
<v Speaker 2>if one of these years will be that year, I

1339
01:17:08.159 --> 01:17:09.239
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's next year.

1340
01:17:09.680 --> 01:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's the trends is pointing down. But Marcus Simeon,

1341
01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>he had a really good what is it twenty twenty two?

1342
01:17:18.479 --> 01:17:20.479
<v Speaker 1>Is that what it was? But I mean he's.

1343
01:17:21.960 --> 01:17:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's second base, doesn't seem to age real well,

1344
01:17:27.880 --> 01:17:32.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's he's yeah, he's heading into his age thirty

1345
01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:38.079
<v Speaker 2>five season, and you know he had he had an

1346
01:17:38.079 --> 01:17:40.760
<v Speaker 2>okay year last year, hunder one rooms score, twenty three

1347
01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:44.159
<v Speaker 2>home or seventy four RBIs. But when you look and

1348
01:17:44.239 --> 01:17:49.439
<v Speaker 2>go back to the two years prior to that, Yeah,

1349
01:17:49.600 --> 01:17:53.399
<v Speaker 2>the numbers were definitely, definitely down. And you know his

1350
01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:57.239
<v Speaker 2>batting average at two thirty seven on seven hundred and

1351
01:17:57.319 --> 01:18:01.399
<v Speaker 2>eighteen plate appearances. That's a big number.

1352
01:18:03.199 --> 01:18:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Agreed, give me a couple of sleepers. I want two, three,

1353
01:18:06.279 --> 01:18:06.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe four?

1354
01:18:07.920 --> 01:18:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, sleepers, let me just click this back up again.

1355
01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Jackson Holiday is one.

1356
01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:19.920
<v Speaker 2>No, don't. I don't consider him a sleeper. Everybody should

1357
01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:23.119
<v Speaker 2>know about him. When I look at sleeper, I'm going

1358
01:18:23.199 --> 01:18:24.159
<v Speaker 2>real real.

1359
01:18:24.279 --> 01:18:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think, okay, undervalue, it's got to be Jackson, Holli.

1360
01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>You got them seven spots up, so I mean you're

1361
01:18:29.760 --> 01:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>expecting big things and the market is saying, hold on.

1362
01:18:33.680 --> 01:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kim is another one. Okay, yeah. Uh. When I

1363
01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:41.640
<v Speaker 2>look a little bit deeper.

1364
01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, who was the last guy? You just said?

1365
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Kim zero point zero? Just another shot to work that but.

1366
01:18:58.119 --> 01:18:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Just always falls in.

1367
01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah.

1368
01:19:01.439 --> 01:19:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Very quickly he realized said, Cam.

1369
01:19:03.560 --> 01:19:11.439
<v Speaker 2>Is like, damn again, one born every minute here. I

1370
01:19:11.520 --> 01:19:19.600
<v Speaker 2>am sleepers. The Cards have said they're going to give

1371
01:19:19.600 --> 01:19:24.119
<v Speaker 2>Nolan Gorman a shot. I don't necessarily believe them, but

1372
01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:26.880
<v Speaker 2>he did hit twenty four home runs before the demotion.

1373
01:19:27.600 --> 01:19:30.520
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of swing and misshappening there, but Nolan

1374
01:19:30.640 --> 01:19:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Gorman could if the Cards give him a serious shot.

1375
01:19:35.560 --> 01:19:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I like Juan Brito as a sleeper, as a true sleeper.

1376
01:19:40.479 --> 01:19:42.479
<v Speaker 1>That's a good call from you. I think he did

1377
01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:43.279
<v Speaker 1>well there. Yep.

1378
01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Durban has my intention.

1379
01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay, former Yankee now with the uh he's with the

1380
01:19:52.399 --> 01:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee Brewers, right.

1381
01:19:54.720 --> 01:19:57.880
<v Speaker 2>He sort of has my sort of has my attention

1382
01:19:57.960 --> 01:20:03.640
<v Speaker 2>and I we've just discussed it. Knows. Travis Bozana, I

1383
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:05.520
<v Speaker 2>think I think we're going to get a full half

1384
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:07.560
<v Speaker 2>season out of him, I really do.

1385
01:20:07.600 --> 01:20:10.800
<v Speaker 1>But that means Juan Brito. I mean, aren't they mutually exclusive.

1386
01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:13.399
<v Speaker 1>If Wan Brito comes up and hits, how can Travis

1387
01:20:13.399 --> 01:20:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Bozano get a chance.

1388
01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>They'll find a spot for him?

1389
01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1390
01:20:18.680 --> 01:20:24.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if they both hit, they the Guardians do very well.

1391
01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:26.720
<v Speaker 2>But those are some of the players later on that

1392
01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:31.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, Thomas Sagaci, he's got some skills, he does. Yeah,

1393
01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:35.880
<v Speaker 2>but again that you know, then the Nolan gorm and

1394
01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:38.800
<v Speaker 2>that sort of fits into that. And I really really

1395
01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:42.600
<v Speaker 2>hope that we see Christian Campbell early in the season.

1396
01:20:44.119 --> 01:20:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I do as well. I mean we'll see I mean,

1397
01:20:46.680 --> 01:20:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I I saw him play last year. A couple of

1398
01:20:48.359 --> 01:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>times and it was impressive, and uh yeah, it's a

1399
01:20:51.800 --> 01:20:55.359
<v Speaker 1>good He's a nice little player. Obviously shocked the world

1400
01:20:55.399 --> 01:20:57.199
<v Speaker 1>in terms of what he's able to do last year.

1401
01:20:57.239 --> 01:20:58.920
<v Speaker 1>It's only been one year. I'd like to see him

1402
01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:04.439
<v Speaker 1>repeat it. But an athletic guy, multiple positions outfield, third base,

1403
01:21:04.520 --> 01:21:06.319
<v Speaker 1>second base, I think he can play all over.

1404
01:21:07.199 --> 01:21:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, as do I. So there's lots of options at

1405
01:21:11.279 --> 01:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>second base after you get past your top thirty. There

1406
01:21:14.960 --> 01:21:15.520
<v Speaker 2>really is.

1407
01:21:16.560 --> 01:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Back to Christian Campbell and yeah, Roman Anthony and all

1408
01:21:20.000 --> 01:21:23.439
<v Speaker 1>their They they have the Boston Red Soxes that they

1409
01:21:23.479 --> 01:21:28.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm referring to. They haven't like shopped bigly in the

1410
01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:31.920
<v Speaker 1>in the free agent market. There's still rumors of an

1411
01:21:31.920 --> 01:21:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Alex Bregman or a Nolan Arenauta type of move in there.

1412
01:21:36.720 --> 01:21:40.239
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, they've got such such good young players

1413
01:21:40.319 --> 01:21:43.560
<v Speaker 1>with an opportunity that are just about ready. I'm hoping

1414
01:21:43.560 --> 01:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>they stick by their guns and keep it to potentially

1415
01:21:47.800 --> 01:21:52.319
<v Speaker 1>moving Raphael Devers maybe back off that position, d H

1416
01:21:52.439 --> 01:21:55.279
<v Speaker 1>first base and giving some of these young kids a shot.

1417
01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Totally agree and based on what we've seen thus far,

1418
01:21:59.159 --> 01:22:03.560
<v Speaker 2>they did move Kyle Teal, but they held on to

1419
01:22:03.640 --> 01:22:07.560
<v Speaker 2>the other three yep, And I don't. I don't see

1420
01:22:07.560 --> 01:22:09.640
<v Speaker 2>them going anywhere, at least I hope they don't.

1421
01:22:09.800 --> 01:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I just don't. I'm not sure Yoshida is there for

1422
01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the long term. I know they sign I think there's

1423
01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:21.279
<v Speaker 1>better options there. David Hamilton's a nice player, Saddan Raphael,

1424
01:22:21.359 --> 01:22:23.399
<v Speaker 1>I think will be your fourth outfielder.

1425
01:22:24.199 --> 01:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I agree. I don't think he controls the strike zone

1426
01:22:26.640 --> 01:22:28.079
<v Speaker 2>well enough to be anything more than that.

1427
01:22:28.359 --> 01:22:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Yep. And he's got to really prove that that he's

1428
01:22:32.000 --> 01:22:34.159
<v Speaker 1>a different player. And again they sign him for fifty

1429
01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:38.239
<v Speaker 1>million dollars, which might be the cost of these days

1430
01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:41.199
<v Speaker 1>of a fourth outfielder, and a good fourth outfielder. I mean,

1431
01:22:41.199 --> 01:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a guy could really pick it out there. But you

1432
01:22:43.640 --> 01:22:46.760
<v Speaker 1>can see Roman Anthony coming in at center field, and

1433
01:22:46.840 --> 01:22:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you can see poor David Hamilton out of a job,

1434
01:22:49.720 --> 01:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and Christian Pile kind of coming in and playing that.

1435
01:22:52.640 --> 01:22:55.319
<v Speaker 1>So it looks like it's still set up for these

1436
01:22:55.319 --> 01:23:01.079
<v Speaker 1>guys to come in where Marcella Mayer goes. I don't know,

1437
01:23:01.239 --> 01:23:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Trevor's story could come back and play very very well.

1438
01:23:04.760 --> 01:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, feel free, by the way to uses zero

1439
01:23:08.039 --> 01:23:09.960
<v Speaker 2>zero on your sheet. Okay, I won't be.

1440
01:23:10.520 --> 01:23:12.520
<v Speaker 1>No, he's an established major league guy.

1441
01:23:12.560 --> 01:23:17.760
<v Speaker 2>It just was, you know, he just.

1442
01:23:15.960 --> 01:23:17.880
<v Speaker 1>He's been disappointing. Let's face it.

1443
01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:22.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, he has. I was expecting. I was

1444
01:23:22.119 --> 01:23:26.680
<v Speaker 2>expecting to see a doubles type hitter with a really

1445
01:23:26.720 --> 01:23:29.760
<v Speaker 2>really strong hit tool, and it just hasn't hasn't been there.

1446
01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:32.720
<v Speaker 1>He makes great contact, but I mean he's never walking.

1447
01:23:32.760 --> 01:23:34.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's I thought he was going to be

1448
01:23:34.279 --> 01:23:38.199
<v Speaker 1>a high walk guy and and he's He's a guy

1449
01:23:38.239 --> 01:23:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that swings on a lot of pitches and makes contact,

1450
01:23:40.920 --> 01:23:43.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's weak contact. Yeah, I don't I don't know.

1451
01:23:43.920 --> 01:23:49.800
<v Speaker 1>It's disappointing. So I agree, Uh, that is a wrap.

1452
01:23:49.960 --> 01:23:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Uh do we just take a break? I don't remember.

1453
01:23:53.319 --> 01:23:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we did.

1454
01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:56.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's take a final break and tid me. We

1455
01:23:56.159 --> 01:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>are not going to get to the uh to the

1456
01:23:58.640 --> 01:24:02.119
<v Speaker 1>last segment that can continue to be pushed. Let's take

1457
01:24:02.119 --> 01:24:04.199
<v Speaker 1>our final break, get back and talk about what's planned

1458
01:24:04.239 --> 01:24:05.079
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of the day.

1459
01:24:05.880 --> 01:24:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Sounds good.

1460
01:24:15.119 --> 01:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Reason we're recording early. Tess was gracious enough to give

1461
01:24:19.039 --> 01:24:22.560
<v Speaker 1>me the do it early. So I've got a at

1462
01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:25.439
<v Speaker 1>two o'clock and about forty five minutes from now, I'm

1463
01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:29.880
<v Speaker 1>going to a chili contest. I'm not competing. I am sampling.

1464
01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I am sampling and voting. So very excited about that.

1465
01:24:34.560 --> 01:24:37.039
<v Speaker 1>Our island tries to do some things to keep people

1466
01:24:37.039 --> 01:24:40.439
<v Speaker 1>engaged here when it's cold, and Pelican's Perch, which is

1467
01:24:40.439 --> 01:24:43.279
<v Speaker 1>one of the bars on the island, has a annual

1468
01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:46.079
<v Speaker 1>I think this is our tenth annual chili cook off.

1469
01:24:46.119 --> 01:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>We've never been, but some friends said, hey, let's go.

1470
01:24:49.039 --> 01:24:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's check it out. So we're gonna go and eat

1471
01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:54.960
<v Speaker 1>chili this afternoon and bring.

1472

1477
01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>it will be partaking to them at some point. Yeah.

1478
01:25:10.039 --> 01:25:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm doing the same thing as you. Basically, I'm

1479
01:25:12.239 --> 01:25:14.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna open the door, see how chilly it is, and

1480
01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:18.560
<v Speaker 2>close it again. Stay inside. That's my plans for the day.

1481
01:25:19.319 --> 01:25:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Maybe do some writing, get working on Shortstop, and get

1482
01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a couple other projects off off the off the table.

1483
01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:28.039
<v Speaker 2>But not a nice quiet day to day.

1484
01:25:28.479 --> 01:25:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Great, that's anything for dinner that's worth noting, it's worth.

1485

<v Speaker 2>It. It's too early we're we're gonna have uh, we're

1486
01:25:38.479 --> 01:25:42.239

1488
01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:50.600
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, but other than that, uh, now, supper is

1489
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:53.800
<v Speaker 2>too far into the into the future having having a clue.

1490
01:25:53.479 --> 01:25:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Who because we've learned there is no lunch at the

1491
01:25:56.079 --> 01:25:59.960
<v Speaker 1>McLeod household. So it's uh, brunches as close as we get.

1492
01:26:00.680 --> 01:26:03.680
<v Speaker 2>That is as good and close as we'll ever get.

1493
01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:05.000
