WEBVTT

1
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Greene's Society Tations. Everyone a Rich wils I'm looking to

2
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Baseball Live. Today is January eighteenth, about three point

3
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty in the afternoon. As always, I'm here with my

4
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 1>good buddy Tim McCleod, and Tim has gotten a new headset.

5
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Tim and I just recorded a podcast where we talked

6
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>about that at length. But timmy sound good? Do you

7
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>say they're lightweight? Tim sent me picture of the box

8
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 1>and maybe I'll buy them myself.

9
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 2>Tim, okay, Yeah. The ourist thing I'm having trouble getting

10
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 2>used to is the fact that they were so light.

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't seem like they're on my head. The other

12
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>ones were like a tighter seal around the years, and

13
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I knew they I knew they were there. This one here,

14
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>it's you can't even tell. You can't even tell you're

15
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>wearing them. They're like air, very.

16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Very like voice link one hundreds. Anything that's got a

17
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 1>number next to Timmy's got to be.

18
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Good, right, Well, I would I would think so, yeah,

19
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>or else we wouldn't do our prospect in ranking list, right,

20
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>that's true.

21
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>That's true. So Tim House, how's life and this week

22
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>doing well?

23
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Actually, I've had a cold most of the week. I

24
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 2>spent most of it in bed. I just just feeling

25
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>a little bit beat up. There's an influenza B virus

26
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>going around our neck of the woods, and being that

27
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I move people around in a vehicle, if there's something

28
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>going on on out there, usually managed to stumble into it.

29
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 2>But you know, our hospital and our our nursing home

30
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>are both under strict masking protocol right now because they've

31
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>had breakouts at both. So hey, Rods, you're gonna gonna

32
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>catch it and caught it. But you'll love our weather

33
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>forecast for today, Rich it's a jam.

34
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Got what is it?

35
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to get much snow, but we don't

36
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 2>have to because they're calling for winds between forty and

37
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 2>fifty miles an hour.

38
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh gez, say no more. It doesn't matter how cold

39
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's going to be cold.

40
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow, it's going to be cold. And even though we're

41
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>not getting snow, with that amount of wind, it just

42
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 2>blows around and drifts all over the place. So I

43
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>don't plan on leaving the host today. I might not

44
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 2>even plan on leaving the host until Wednesday. I'm going

45
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>to let this thing go through and fulfill its course.

46
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>And then venture out into the real world after that.

47
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I think, well, we were supposed to go to a

48
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 1>wedding or wedding reception or something wedding related with a

49
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>seven year old woman who is getting married. Yeah, Laurie knows,

50
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 1>but unfortunate Laura got sick. I've had an off and

51
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>on cold just knows. But Laurie's been she's been down

52
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>last couple of days. Yeah, so she just didn't feel

53
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 1>good going there. So so yeah, so that was that,

54
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and then then hopefully we'll be well tomorrow. We got

55
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a We've had a big week in baseball, Timmy, and

56
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>so we're going to talk about that. We're also going

57
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to talk about Tim's third base rankings, which is just

58
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>good stuff and Tim's I think if the third base

59
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 1>rankings Tim went outside of where a lot of these

60
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>players are going, I think that's really important because you're

61
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>going to see some value, at least from Tim's perspective,

62
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>where you can get this. So stayed with us through

63
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the whole show because I think that's going to be

64
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 1>a really good, really good stuff to talk about.

65
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely, the word controversial might come into these rankings

66
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 2>today on one or two occasions, anyways.

67
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>That is for sure, Timmy. Let's talk about, you know,

68
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the elephant of the room, and that is the Dodgers

69
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>sign Kyle Tucker. And I had forgotten that when you

70
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>and I do are ill Fate at Sean. I don't

71
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 1>know why we can need to do it, but every

72
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>year we do an ill fitting show trying to figure

73
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 1>out where guys are going to sign. And I don't

74
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 1>know if you remember we we both had Kyle Tucker

75
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>going to the Dodgers, and which that was back two

76
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>months ago. I'd forgotten about that. And when he signed,

77
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I kind of laughed out loud when the Dodgers signed him, thinking, yeah,

78
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>really the Dodgers, And then then you just see the

79
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>crazy aav that was. He was signed for fifty seven

80
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>million dollars a year. Obviously there's money deferred and all

81
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>because that's what the Dodgers do, but they paid him

82
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>a ton of money to play for a couple of

83
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>years and then he can opt out. And I just

84
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know your thoughts when you heard the news,

85
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts on the deal, your thoughts on the Dodgers,

86
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, et cetera.

87
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Et cetera. Yeah, it Dodgers have the money to throw

88
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>her around, and they are throwing it around. Yeah, Hey,

89
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>the J's have The J's have a ton of resources

90
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 2>available to them, and they've been making some moves this

91
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 2>off season. Uh, I wasn't surprised. Hey, Dodgers want want

92
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to win. They got the money. They're spending it on

93
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>these players and improving their odds of doing exactly what

94
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>every team wants to do. And that's when the World Series.

95
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, as far as the comments about ruining baseball, this, this, this,

96
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and hey, they're playing with the rules, within the rules.

97
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>The problem isn't with the Dodgers. The problems with the

98
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 2>rules in play. The Dodgers have a ton of financial

99
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>resources available to the courtesy of the the big TV deal,

100
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 2>and the J's are in the same boat. They own

101
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 2>sports Net. Okay, the Rogers family that the Garagers Corporation

102
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 2>is is stacked. There's lots of money in some organizations,

103
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 2>not so much in others. That hey, they're playing within

104
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 2>the rules. What has to happen is the rules have

105
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>to change. And that's where we're going to see problems

106
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 2>around about next December first, because again, the owners are

107
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>going to want the players to bail them out of

108
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 2>a problem, and the owners have to find a way

109
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 2>to bail themselves out of that problem before they go

110
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.399
<v Speaker 2>after the players.

111
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's kind of talk about what Tim. Let's drill

112
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>down to what Tim is talking about. So the national

113
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>TV contract is split evenly amongst the teams, So that's right,

114
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that's not inequality difference. The inequality comes in the local

115
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 1>TV contracts. Tim, do you want to maybe you know this,

116
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>what do the Dodgers get annually from local television rates?

117
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 2>I haven't I haven't actually dugged it up, dug it up,

118
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 2>but the numbers that I'm seeing are somewhere in the

119
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.680
<v Speaker 2>area of three hundred and thirty to three hundred and

120
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 2>fifty million dollars annually coming out of their local.

121
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad we didn't do against the player because you

122
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 1>nailed it. It's three hundred and thirty four million dollars

123
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 1>a year. To give you give you a counter argument,

124
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles are, you know, kind of in the bottom

125
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>third of size. Their TV contract is fifty eight million dollars,

126
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>so you're talking a six x difference between the two.

127
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Further complicating the math is a lot of the local

128
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>TV contracts have gone away, and a lot of those

129
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>teams have been absorbed by Major League Baseball and they're

130
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>streaming through major League Baseball and they're getting very little

131
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 1>from a local TV contract. So the Dodgers and the Yankees,

132
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 1>to a certain extent, we find out what the Yankees

133
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 1>local TV contract is. That's the big difference is the

134
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.839
<v Speaker 1>amount of money coming into the Dodgers is so much

135
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.079
<v Speaker 1>more than what it's coming in from most teams. And

136
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers have made the decision right and good on

137
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 1>them to spend the money as opposed to pocket the money.

138
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 1>But it has created a big problem for Major League Baseball.

139
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it has. The Jays are owned by Rogers. Our

140
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>largest sports network is sports Net. They carry all the

141
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Jays games. Guess who owns sports Net? Rogers. We don't

142
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker 2>even we don't even know what the Chase are making

143
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>on local money because they own the network that does

144
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 2>all their games. All that advertising money is going into

145
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 2>that massive pot called Rogers Communications. Yeah, teams like Pittsburgh,

146
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>your small market, they don't have those resources. You're talking

147
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 2>apples and oranges and big apples and small oranges.

148
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the Yankees local TV contract is

149
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>AI is saying one hundred and forty three million dollars.

150
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 1>That was in twenty twenty two. But it might look

151
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 1>like the Yankees can't even compete with the Dodgers from

152
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 1>a financial maneuvering standpoint. And I think I think it

153
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>was Ken Rosenthal who wrote an article about this in

154
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of days that he was talking with

155
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 1>someone in baseball who had not heard about the deal yet,

156
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and when Rosenthal told him about the deal, he goes, well,

157
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be a big problem. There's going to

158
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 1>be a big lockout over it. You know. It's just

159
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the teams have had enough of the Dodgers just kind

160
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 1>of doing this, and so now you not only have

161
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the players fighting with the owners, but now you might

162
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>have owners fighting with other owners.

163
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's a that's a given that owners are

164
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>fighting with owners. But there's an easy way to resolve

165
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>that situation, I believe. Okay, right now, there is a

166
00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>the luxury tax or whatever, and instead of thirty percent

167
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 2>in the first year, make it one hundred percent. Instead

168
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.360
<v Speaker 2>of fifty per second year violations, make it two hundred percent,

169
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>make it three hundred percent in the third year. Okay,

170
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:16.919
<v Speaker 2>if teams are right now following the rules to the

171
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:21.200
<v Speaker 2>game and they can afford to pay, i e. The Dodgers,

172
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.360
<v Speaker 2>they can afford to pay the penalties, make the penalties

173
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.320
<v Speaker 2>at the stage where teams can't afford them, and that

174
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 2>would provide a great equalizer and one that keeps the

175
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 2>word salary cap out of the discussion because players don't

176
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>want ahead in that direction.

177
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's a that's a non starter. If

178
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.879
<v Speaker 1>the counters start to pull a push for that, we

179
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>could have an extensive, extensive lockout and it probably will

180
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>never still be a salary cap.

181
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.399
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's not a I don't think it's a

182
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.960
<v Speaker 2>top a resolvable topic looking at caps. So if you're

183
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.639
<v Speaker 2>not going to look at caps and you're trying to

184
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>equalize the game, how else do you do it? Penalize

185
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.320
<v Speaker 2>those to the point where they can't afford to pay

186
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the penalties.

187
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The other thought I had was maybe start to

188
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 1>make the local TV contracts part of the overall pool,

189
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>and particularly if teams don't have local TV contracts, And

190
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you think that the league needs to look

191
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>at it as the league and not as the separate

192
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>franchises within the league. You know, the NFL does such

193
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a great job, and the NFL just prints money, and

194
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>they look at the whole thing league wide as opposed

195
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 1>to we're all making money or we're all losing money.

196
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>There's not going to be rich teams and poor teams.

197
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>And consequently, I mean, the owners are filthy rich in

198
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 1>football and they're just making pandover fist and money.

199
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the problem in baseball would be you institute whatever

200
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 2>type of program you have, and there are going to

201
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 2>be teams that are going to spend money, the Dodgers,

202
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees, and then there are going to be teams

203
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 2>where the owners are going to say, screw that, we're

204
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 2>putting everything in our pocket and we're not going to

205
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.759
<v Speaker 2>spend the We're not going to spend ten cents. And

206
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>until you get everybody on the same page any sort

207
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 2>of revenue sharing on local money, that gets a little

208
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.080
<v Speaker 2>bit tough. Like I don't think I don't think management

209
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and the players have a problem resolving things. I think

210
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 2>it's management and management is where your problem lies. And

211
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>that's a big problem, a huge problem. As long as

212
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.720
<v Speaker 2>you've got the guys that are going to nickel and

213
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.799
<v Speaker 2>dime everybody to death. Are they going to even in

214
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 2>a cap situation? Are they going to spend the cap?

215
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:43.120
<v Speaker 3>No?

216
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they'll put the money in their pocket, and it

217
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.159
<v Speaker 2>defeats the purpose of the whole exercise, right, But which

218
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>is equalization?

219
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I think within like football, there is a minimum and

220
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a maximum, and it's a pretty small band,

221
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>so you've got to spend the money. And I think

222
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>those caps kind of would have to go hand in

223
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>hand with the sharing of local revenue. I totally agree

224
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 1>with you there, But again, the Caps are probably also

225
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the answer is. I mean, that's

226
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:15.080
<v Speaker 1>what's scary about this and looking at the twenty twenty

227
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>seventh season, is how are they going to figure this out?

228
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I all I know is that Rob Manfrein's whirlwind tour

229
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 2>tour explaining all of the pros, caps, et cetera. It

230
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:33.639
<v Speaker 2>is a waste of Rob Manfred's time.

231
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

232
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if he wants to go on a promo tour,

233
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 2>pick a different topic because the one he's picked is

234
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 2>not going to strengthen or you know, the player's position

235
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:51.200
<v Speaker 2>on the way through. Hey, baseball's come, baseball has there's

236
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>money goal or in baseball, it's just about who's making it.

237
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:01.879
<v Speaker 2>And again, there's got to be something in place so

238
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>that owners simply don't take take all the freebies out

239
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.759
<v Speaker 2>of life. Like the Dodgers will turn around and say, well, hey, Pittsburgh,

240
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>you made more money than us last year. Why should

241
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 2>we succumb to a system. You know that, in fact,

242
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.360
<v Speaker 2>you made more money on the bottom line than we

243
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.399
<v Speaker 2>did last year. We just happened to you spending it

244
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.799
<v Speaker 2>on players because we want to win. You just happened

245
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>to put it in your pocket because you want to

246
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 2>get richer. You know, there's lots of money in baseball.

247
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.159
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know how they're going to sort it out.

248
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:32.639
<v Speaker 2>I really don't.

249
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know either, And it appears the Dodgers just

250
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 1>are saying, screw it, We're going to win as many

251
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>championships while we can, and so let's get sorted out

252
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and look, at some point, the Dodgers will be old.

253
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>They're getting older already, and at some point they might say, Okay,

254
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>we've spent enough, we can no longer continue at this

255
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>because they've got all these deferred deals. I think it'll

256
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of go back, you know, equate back to the

257
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.240
<v Speaker 1>norm the moment. I mean, the Dodgers are simply playing

258
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:03.799
<v Speaker 1>a different game than everybody else.

259
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And on top of the fact that they're playing

260
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.559
<v Speaker 2>a different game, they also are a well run franchise.

261
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Just look at their minor leagues. Yeah, absolutely, Hey, scouting

262
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.639
<v Speaker 2>from top to bottom. They are a first class organization.

263
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.879
<v Speaker 2>And how do you fault the Dodgers were playing within

264
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 2>the rules, playing within the system, and doing what they

265
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.919
<v Speaker 2>are doing to win titles. You can.

266
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>They took arguably the Dodgers are arguably the best general

267
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 1>manager in the game of Alex Freeman and from the

268
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Rays and said, you take all of your smart baseball

269
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:46.559
<v Speaker 1>skills and we're going to let you spend as much

270
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.519
<v Speaker 1>money as you want. And I think you've seen the

271
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>result of that. You've seen a minor league system that's

272
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a top three minor league system, and it's the best

273
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 1>major League baseball team by a long shot at the moment.

274
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>On paper, it's it's the best baseball team. Now doesn't

275
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 1>mean they're going to win, but it's the best one.

276
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I would love to see the look on his

277
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.720
<v Speaker 2>face when they said, yeah, you didn't Tampa Bay except

278
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.720
<v Speaker 2>don't worry about money like he probably had a perma

279
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 2>smile on his face for a week and a half. Yeah,

280
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:18.840
<v Speaker 2>it's yeah.

281
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.399
<v Speaker 1>I actually think, in a weird way, I think baseball

282
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>needs the Dodgers to be the Evil Dodgers. They Baseball

283
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.919
<v Speaker 1>was better when the Yankees were the Evil Yankees. It's

284
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>always good empire the evil empire, right, It's always it's

285
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>always good to have that team that. Like, Look how

286
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 1>much how close the Blue Jays came to knocking off

287
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers and Timmy, I mean they, I mean they

288
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 1>were Yamamoto a couple of innings away of Yamamoto not

289
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>pitching well to winning that series. And imagine how sweet

290
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be when some team eventually knocks off

291
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers. I think that that David versus Goliath thing

292
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 1>really plays. And uh, because everybody's going to tune in

293
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 1>to watch Otani and the Dodgers, and then all of

294
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, it's going to be this little pip squeak

295
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>team called the Blue Jays with Schneider and Clement, who

296
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.759
<v Speaker 1>are they playing key Roles knocks them off, And I

297
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>think that's going to happen one day.

298
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in any given five or seven game series anybody

299
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.759
<v Speaker 2>can win the trick is getting there to have that opportunity.

300
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.839
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, definitely, the Dodgers are the favorite, think of

301
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the best best team on paper by a long shot.

302
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.640
<v Speaker 2>But that doesn't mean that they're going to be they're

303
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 2>going to beat the Jay's or the Yankees or the

304
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox or anybody else for that might matter. They Hey,

305
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.599
<v Speaker 2>they could lose to the diet to the Diamondbacks in

306
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>a five game series. You just don't know.

307
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, Well, so back to fantasy baseball. Obviously, Dodger

308
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Stadium is good to right hand at power. That helps

309
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Tucker a little bit. The data says that Tucker doesn't

310
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.799
<v Speaker 1>have the wheels anymore. He continues to steal bases, but

311
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers are really really good. Why is he going

312
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 1>to need to steal bases? What do you do? You

313
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>have any up or down on Kyle Tucker or is

314
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it a where he's gone? Is about the right spot?

315
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it's about the right spot. But I would

316
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 2>be incredibly shocked. Yeah, and we can say this about

317
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot of players in la very very shocked. If

318
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 2>he performs to his maximum levels simply because he doesn't

319
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 2>have to. They can take him and play him part

320
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 2>time in September once they winched the division. Okay, last

321
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 2>year he stole a twenty five bases something like that.

322
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

323
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's stolen thirty, twenty five and twenty five in

324
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>three of the past four years. Yeah, I think he's

325
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.079
<v Speaker 2>going to stay steal fifteen to twenty bases. But I

326
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:58.240
<v Speaker 2>don't see him see stealing twenty five to thirty Why

327
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Why would they take it chance on injury in September

328
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.680
<v Speaker 2>so Kyle Tucker can steal an extra ten bases. That

329
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:06.240
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't make sense, does it.

330
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's he playing for a contract? Yeah, he's the

331
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.200
<v Speaker 1>highest it's the highest paid player at the moment. He's

332
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>played more than Otani obviously, more than want Soto, significantly

333
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.960
<v Speaker 1>more than wan So, and he's not even close to

334
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.319
<v Speaker 1>the same count where those players are. But so he's

335
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>not going to play for more money because he's already

336
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>paid the most.

337
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Right. Yeah, So I think he's going to have a

338
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 2>good year. I think it's the first round talent. Just

339
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:43.440
<v Speaker 2>don't expect him to steal thirty five bases or hey

340
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.559
<v Speaker 2>he could, he could hit thirty one more runs. I

341
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.079
<v Speaker 2>don't see any problems with that. But I think when

342
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the risk part of the game, which

343
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.440
<v Speaker 2>is stolen bases are every time somebody takes off for

344
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 2>a second. All it takes is, you know, Spike to

345
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.160
<v Speaker 2>catch anything at second base, and you could be looking

346
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.319
<v Speaker 2>at a knee, looking at the army. I just don't

347
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:04.359
<v Speaker 2>think he'll run as much.

348
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.680
<v Speaker 1>But you could argue he's probably gonna score more runs

349
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and drive in more guys because he's on a better team.

350
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's gonna he's a good player. Okay, So yeah,

351
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 2>if you're playing in ahead to head league, then it

352
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 2>might be a little disappointing. If you're playing in the

353
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:24.599
<v Speaker 2>title and he said three games out of the seven

354
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 2>in the week you're playing for the title.

355
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna ask you a question and we're gonna pivot

356
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:31.559
<v Speaker 1>over to what the Mets are doing, because I do

357
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 1>think the two are related. Because the Mets desperately wanted

358
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:39.839
<v Speaker 1>to sign Kyle Tucker, uh and they didn't. Obviously, no

359
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.880
<v Speaker 1>anybody lose playing time because of the Tucker signing. I

360
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.640
<v Speaker 1>couldn't discern that. I think it does. As we talked

361
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>on the Prospect podcast before we did this, Housweed Depaullensire

362
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:56.079
<v Speaker 1>hope and maybe some other guys might be delayed another

363
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.279
<v Speaker 1>year at least with Tucker's arrival. Anything else that you

364
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 1>see as an implication for the Dodgers.

365
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there is one rather big implication. I see, uh

366
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:14.799
<v Speaker 2>looking at the middle infield, Okay. Before the Tucker signing, Okay,

367
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers were were looking at a situation where Tommy

368
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Edmund was going to play in the outfield. Okay, Uh,

369
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 2>and what and the Dodgers were looking at rolling out

370
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 2>heis on Kim as their second basement as an everyday player. Well,

371
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.240
<v Speaker 2>with the Tucker signing, Edmund moves back to second Heisan.

372
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Kim could be a bench type player. He could play

373
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.160
<v Speaker 2>at Triple A until needed because of injury. So that's

374
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.640
<v Speaker 2>the one that is the one big change to the

375
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:58.559
<v Speaker 2>everyday lineup and having Kim roster in one league. Timmy

376
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.240
<v Speaker 2>does not approve of the Tucker signing in light of that,

377
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:06.039
<v Speaker 2>but that's that's just it's all about me eating. But

378
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Kim is not going to get the playing time that

379
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 2>a week ago it was anticipated he was.

380
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.359
<v Speaker 1>That's fair, that's fair, that's fair. The I do think

381
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.079
<v Speaker 1>the same kind of analysis needs to be done with

382
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the Mets, because again, the Mets wanted the sign Tucker,

383
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 1>they didn't sign Talcker, so then they pivoted very quickly

384
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:29.119
<v Speaker 1>to Bobashett. And sometimes Tim, you're at the right place

385
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 1>at the right time. And as crazy as a Kyle

386
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Tucker deal is, the Bobaschett deal is just nuts.

387
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:39.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this isn't Sid Night.

388
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 1>This is a good player, but this isn't. He's getting

389
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:46.000
<v Speaker 1>forty two million dollars a year. There's an opt out

390
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 1>after each year, and if he opts out, the Mets

391
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.319
<v Speaker 1>have to pay him five million dollars from down It's

392
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 1>like you have another I mean, that's the craziest thing

393
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen.

394
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, not only not only is it hey good for Bolbashet,

395
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:10.440
<v Speaker 2>he's cut himself a raft of money. I don't be

396
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:15.319
<v Speaker 2>grudge Boulbashett, but it that's just flat out stupid. I'm

397
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.880
<v Speaker 2>glad that Jays didn't get into that sort of a

398
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 2>bidding situation because I good on the Mets. I hope

399
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.160
<v Speaker 2>it works out for him. Do I think it will

400
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:29.880
<v Speaker 2>work for them? No, I really don't. I think the

401
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Mets are gonna rue the five million dollars that they

402
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:35.799
<v Speaker 2>don't have to pay because he won't be offting out

403
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.160
<v Speaker 2>to that deal anytime soon. And I can't see it

404
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:38.839
<v Speaker 2>at all.

405
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I have to agree with you there as well. I

406
00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 1>mean it's it's I thought it was a crazy contract.

407
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.359
<v Speaker 1>And again, if Bobaschett was the guy that we saw

408
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>four or five years ago, maybe it was injuries all

409
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 1>last season, but he was a good he was much

410
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.240
<v Speaker 1>much better last season. But the power, the data says

411
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.519
<v Speaker 1>the power is good, not great. The speed is gone.

412
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>You can't play shortstop anymore, so he's playing third base.

413
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a panic move by the by the.

414
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Mets can't disagree. I'm crazy, That's all I can say. Crazy.

415
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:23.759
<v Speaker 2>And not only that, it is Hey has created a

416
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:31.720
<v Speaker 2>that one signing has created a rather serious shuffle in

417
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>the Mets line up. And when we get to the

418
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 2>third base rankings, we'll see how crazy it actually is.

419
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Because I when I did my rankings, I did them

420
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:46.920
<v Speaker 2>based on after the deal, not before the deal. So

421
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.000
<v Speaker 2>there are some huge swings in player rankings as a

422
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.880
<v Speaker 2>result of this deal. And hey, what do you what

423
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:55.640
<v Speaker 2>do you do with Mark Bientto's what do you do

424
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.559
<v Speaker 2>with Bret Beaty? Orgie Polanco is now your first basement

425
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.119
<v Speaker 2>in New York. They got a Semion. Okay, they got

426
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:06.680
<v Speaker 2>a Shedd at third, they got Lindora Short Uh, they

427
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:13.400
<v Speaker 2>got to play polongco so, Riento's and Beady are ony

428
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:16.359
<v Speaker 2>on the burger being ones on the outside looking in

429
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.559
<v Speaker 2>and the others slotted in a DH.

430
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I kind of looked at it as if Tucker

431
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.599
<v Speaker 1>would have sig Tucker would have signed to the Mets.

432
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Then Alston Carson Binge's opportunity looks in questioned. All of

433
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:31.759
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, now it sure looks like the Mets are

434
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:34.440
<v Speaker 1>going to camp with him getting a really good chance

435
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.559
<v Speaker 1>to break camp as the Mets corner outfielder, which I

436
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.359
<v Speaker 1>think is great because I think he's going.

437
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:40.200
<v Speaker 2>To be a good player.

438
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 1>But all of a sudden, now it creates a shuffle

439
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.720
<v Speaker 1>in the infield with who's gonna is Battye and or

440
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Vientzo's even get a shot at plane? And you're suggesting,

441
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:52.839
<v Speaker 1>now you're going to see those guys drop, And what

442
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:57.799
<v Speaker 1>about our buddy Jet Williams. I mean I think Jet Jet, Yeah,

443
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I think Jet Willis. If you're Jet Williams, you're on

444
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the call to your agent going get me in the

445
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.359
<v Speaker 1>outfield because I could play better than Tyrone Taylor, and

446
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.160
<v Speaker 1>that's that's gotta be your spot. And I have to

447
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.319
<v Speaker 1>believe that's where the Mets are going to go. Is

448
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 1>they're going to start to see Jet Williams in the

449
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.960
<v Speaker 1>center field a lot.

450
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. See, they could have if Tucker would have went

451
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.759
<v Speaker 2>to the Mets, they could have still looked at Benji

452
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.839
<v Speaker 2>and Tyrone Taylor could have been their fourth outfielder, okay,

453
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:29.440
<v Speaker 2>rotating with Benji okay, and then you would have still

454
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:35.680
<v Speaker 2>had a situation where Polanco's playing third base. Whatever. You

455
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 2>could have made it work, okay, a lot easier with

456
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Viano's and Baby because they they could have made a

457
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 2>move in the outfield that would have by signing Tucker,

458
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:49.640
<v Speaker 2>it automatically improves the outfield. And right now they have

459
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Benji and Tyrone Taylor slided into the outfield. One of

460
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 2>those two would be a fourth outfielder type or still

461
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.079
<v Speaker 2>playing in the minors, and Viano's would have a job

462
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.480
<v Speaker 2>right or Baby depending on who ends up with it.

463
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>But let's face it, I mean I was worried about

464
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 1>both of those guys being able to hit at the

465
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:13.799
<v Speaker 1>big league level, and it just what I don't even

466
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.440
<v Speaker 1>want to say that the Mets agree with that. I

467
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.519
<v Speaker 1>think they panicked and when they didn't get Tucker, it's like, oh,

468
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>we got to get this guy. I'm assuming they talked

469
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 1>through the logic of what happens to Viensus and Baby,

470
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 1>but it almost feels like they didn't do. Those guys

471
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:33.039
<v Speaker 1>get moved because there's also a first basement that the

472
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:35.559
<v Speaker 1>Mets have coming through the minor leagues. It's just about

473
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:37.519
<v Speaker 1>ready as well. He's got big boy power.

474
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:43.359
<v Speaker 2>So they've also got Ronnie Mauricio and they've got Louis

475
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Angel Okay, yeah, it's those guys.

476
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Those guys. If you think Ronnie Mauricio is on rosterble,

477
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I believe so's Louisa. Unless somebody gets hurt. Those those guys,

478
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a job.

479
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's gonna have to be There's gonna have to

480
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:09.079
<v Speaker 2>be some sort of movement. I think I can't see

481
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:14.039
<v Speaker 2>them sitting the Entos and or Beady and or Mauricio

482
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and or and or and or and Or. Something's gonna

483
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.279
<v Speaker 2>have to give at some point time. And I don't

484
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:27.440
<v Speaker 2>think the implications I agree. I think it was a

485
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:29.400
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a rush job on behalf of the

486
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Mets to save face.

487
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, And well, Donald on Bobachett's agent, I mean

488
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>he pushed that. It's just a perfect scenario that just

489
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>unfolded for him.

490
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:43.519
<v Speaker 2>And look, you got sime.

491
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:47.720
<v Speaker 1>In, you got Lindor, and now Bobaschett. Those are three

492
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 1>of the highest paid guys in baseball. They're gonna play

493
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and forty games a year at the respecting position.

494
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, did you mention one sort of Oh yeah.

495
00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I was just talking about the infield. So

496
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:04.319
<v Speaker 1>anybody like Lois, I'll Goacuna and recently they're going to

497
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>be super subs and they're only going to carry one

498
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 1>of them, I would think, unless they just decide to

499
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>bail on Tyron Taylor, who was a really good defender.

500
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>So uh, I mean it's it's tough. And then Baddie

501
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and Vianta's it's four guys for two spots. Good luck?

502
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, And Ryan Clifford is saying to his agent, Okay,

503
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.160
<v Speaker 2>find me a team to play on, please quickly.

504
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.079
<v Speaker 1>I Ryan Clifford, that's the guy you really keep an

505
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:34.799
<v Speaker 1>eye on. I think he's going to be a better

506
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.720
<v Speaker 1>version of Viantas and Baddie and so we'll see. But

507
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:41.079
<v Speaker 1>there's no room for him. So there's no point in

508
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.960
<v Speaker 1>even thinking about drafting them in the draft and hold league.

509
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't make sense.

510
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>No, there's yeah, he's got to climb over half a

511
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.440
<v Speaker 2>dozen people to get himself in a position for playing time.

512
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:52.839
<v Speaker 2>It ain't gonna happen.

513
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:57.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the second deal, Tim. The third deal, I thought

514
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 1>it was the most fascinating because it was a trade

515
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:02.440
<v Speaker 1>on I always love trade trades, and it was a

516
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.720
<v Speaker 1>three team deal. The Ray sent your guy Josh low

517
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:10.119
<v Speaker 1>to the Angels, the Race sent excuse me, the Reds

518
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:14.079
<v Speaker 1>sent Gavin Lucks to the Rays, and then the Reds.

519
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>The Reds got brock Burke from Cincinnati, and Chris Clark

520
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:27.440
<v Speaker 1>went from the Angels to Tampa Bay. Not famous guys,

521
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 1>not big name guys. But another thing that opens up

522
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe a slot for Jacob Melton and Tampa Gavin Luks.

523
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:42.599
<v Speaker 1>Can he develop into something. He's going to play second base,

524
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe bat leadoff because of his high one base percentage

525
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:50.480
<v Speaker 1>at Tampa. Josh Lowe's gonna play. Can't hit lefties. Help

526
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:53.119
<v Speaker 1>me break this down. I mean, do you see anybody

527
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>going up? Do you see anybody going down? Where do

528
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you see all this going?

529
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.559
<v Speaker 2>I really don't see it going anywhere.

530
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>So you think it's a stuff moving moving deck chairs

531
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>around on the Titanic, that's.

532
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I I I think the biggest hole.

533
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:14.240
<v Speaker 1>You like that one? God one?

534
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like that? Yeah. Yeah, musical chairs and they've

535
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:24.680
<v Speaker 2>got the exact same number of chairs as people. That's it.

536
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't that be fair?

537
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.519
<v Speaker 1>But I like that Titanic one because as the Titanic

538
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:32.640
<v Speaker 1>is going down, you're rearranging the chairs and it doesn't

539
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:34.240
<v Speaker 1>matter because it's all going down.

540
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly. Yeah, uh I I would like to think

541
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:47.240
<v Speaker 2>that the possible biggest benefic fishery of this whole mess

542
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:49.799
<v Speaker 2>is going to be Jacob Milton. How was that?

543
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I wrote a very long post to our to our

544
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Patrons members, and Tim read this, and then I had

545
00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:59.559
<v Speaker 1>asked my AI engine to give me his thoughts, which

546
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 1>were Brillian, and he was all over. He was all

547
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:04.759
<v Speaker 1>over Jacob Melton. I brought it up, but he was

548
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker 1>all over it, like this is the guy you want.

549
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.599
<v Speaker 1>He's going to get an opportunity. I reminded him he

550
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:12.839
<v Speaker 1>couldn't hit lefties, but he didn't care. He was all in.

551
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's where I'm sorry. I think we've seen enough

552
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.400
<v Speaker 2>of josh Lowell. Okay, we know who he is, we

553
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.720
<v Speaker 2>know who he can. It's not moving him to the

554
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Angels is not going to change anything at all. He's

555
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:28.839
<v Speaker 2>a platoon player. He might play every day with the Angels.

556
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.559
<v Speaker 2>But do you want is it bats against lefties? Probably not.

557
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:38.160
<v Speaker 1>A slug is to something, it's it's not good.

558
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, So from purposes of our game, we'd have

559
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:46.599
<v Speaker 2>it rather have and be in a better spot. If

560
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Joshua is a platoon player, if he plays every day

561
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.039
<v Speaker 2>in Los Angeles, it's actually going to decrease his value.

562
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Gavin Lux is the Gavin Lux man

563
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 2>he thought he might be. So again yeah, okay, yeah,

564
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's two more home runs or I just don't

565
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:11.160
<v Speaker 2>see anything significant happening, except in the case of Jacob Milton.

566
00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 2>If it creates an opportunity there, he might see he's

567
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:15.640
<v Speaker 2>going to get a chance, I think now, and I

568
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:19.759
<v Speaker 2>sort of like as a late pick, and Jacob Milton

569
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.319
<v Speaker 2>has moved on to my radar now, So.

570
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 1>If I could just give a plug for Gavin Lux, Yes,

571
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I ranked him very high. I thought I think a

572
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:29.799
<v Speaker 1>lot of people thought he was going to be a

573
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:33.680
<v Speaker 1>much better player than he turned out to be. Having

574
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:37.759
<v Speaker 1>said that, he does get on base a lot, he

575
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:41.119
<v Speaker 1>is a good hitter. He does hit the It doesn't

576
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.599
<v Speaker 1>hit the ball hard, but it's it's like a twenty

577
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:49.160
<v Speaker 1>five ranking an exit velocity eighty eight point six or eight.

578
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:51.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm going for a memory here. He has no leverage

579
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 1>in his swing. It is conceivable. And again this is

580
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.000
<v Speaker 1>all making shut up as we go through this, sister,

581
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to try to paint the narrative. If he added he's

582
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.799
<v Speaker 1>got enough, he's got enough context skills to add leverage

583
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:09.679
<v Speaker 1>to his swing, so he could go from five arm

584
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 1>runs to twelve ish fifteen ish type of fum run

585
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.599
<v Speaker 1>with a swing change. And he's faster than he's He's

586
00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:20.079
<v Speaker 1>never stolen bases, but he's got a little bit of speed.

587
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.599
<v Speaker 1>So there are some elements in there that you can

588
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 1>sit there and convince yourself there is some upside. How

589
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 1>much of it's how much it's actually going to play out,

590
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Probably none, but I think there's more

591
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:36.199
<v Speaker 1>upside with lucks than there is with Josh Lowe.

592
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that's fair. If it was anybody other

593
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:44.000
<v Speaker 2>than the Rays, I'd probably agree a little bit more.

594
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.480
<v Speaker 2>But I can see the Rais taking a look and saying, Okay,

595
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Lux is a left handed bat, We're going to

596
00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:50.719
<v Speaker 2>hit it at the top of the order. But no,

597
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.599
<v Speaker 2>we got to get Ryan Vladi in there as a

598
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:56.960
<v Speaker 2>right handed bat. Okay against when there's the same side

599
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.639
<v Speaker 2>arm going up against Gavin Lucks a.

600
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 1>Lot still still kicking around? Are you kidding?

601
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:06.280
<v Speaker 2>No, he's He's your backup infielder in Tampa Bay and

602
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:10.360
<v Speaker 2>possibly platooner with Gavin Lux. It's Tampa Bay. I can't

603
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I've seen enough to Tampa I can't rule anything out there,

604
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:14.440
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean?

605
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:15.119
<v Speaker 1>That's fair?

606
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:18.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the first time, the first time Lux goes in

607
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:22.079
<v Speaker 2>three games over twelve against South buzz okay, are the

608
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.920
<v Speaker 2>most teams wouldn't even consider. But the Rays will be

609
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:26.360
<v Speaker 2>looking at it, saying, we got to give a Loti

610
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:27.960
<v Speaker 2>in there, We got to make a change.

611
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

612
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I hope I'm wrong, I really do, but I

613
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:35.280
<v Speaker 2>have a hard time getting out of that mindset when

614
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:36.159
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the race.

615
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Yep. I do think the big winner here is Jacob Meltain,

616
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>but again, it does have pretty severe splatoon splits that

617
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.159
<v Speaker 1>rival that of Josh Lowe, and he could be a

618
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Josh Low type of player who is reasonable tim. I mean,

619
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:52.559
<v Speaker 1>that's a guy that you roster her.

620
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.840
<v Speaker 2>And then then he ends up he ends up platooning

621
00:35:56.920 --> 00:36:00.239
<v Speaker 2>with Johnny DeLuca or Justin, Henry molloy and Devia. I mean,

622
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:04.280
<v Speaker 2>it's yeah and Jake Creley. Yeah, it just sort of

623
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.320
<v Speaker 2>goes on and on and on and on.

624
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.320
<v Speaker 1>The one thing I do like about the trade is

625
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:14.679
<v Speaker 1>it is a change of scenery for the principles, Josh

626
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Love and Gavin LUs. I mean, Josh Low needs a

627
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:21.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe somebody else, I don't know if it's the Angels,

628
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.960
<v Speaker 1>but somebody else can help him figure out how to

629
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.679
<v Speaker 1>pick up left handed pictures coming out. Maybe it's swing

630
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:31.840
<v Speaker 1>changes that another organization can have Gavin Lux go through.

631
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Now again, it's the thirteam for Gavin Lux. So there

632
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.599
<v Speaker 1>could be some stubbornness involved that he just doesn't want

633
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:38.199
<v Speaker 1>to change.

634
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:43.440
<v Speaker 2>But and it opens up an opportunity for Sal Stewart.

635
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Fair point. We didn't talk about Selseiae. Yeah, he's looks

636
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:49.039
<v Speaker 1>like he's gonna be a line yep.

637
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so there'll be you know, there's there's more opportunities

638
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.280
<v Speaker 2>for Sal Stewart. Gavin Lux was not going to be

639
00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:59.000
<v Speaker 2>a full time player in Cincinnati. Yeah, it's creaty a

640
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:03.199
<v Speaker 2>situation where as players. I think every one of the

641
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.199
<v Speaker 2>players involved in this deal should be happy with the

642
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:08.760
<v Speaker 2>deal for the multipart yep. And that's that's yeah, that's

643
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:09.679
<v Speaker 2>that's not about thing.

644
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll tend to go on forty minutes to sake

645
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:14.840
<v Speaker 1>a quick break and come back talk about third base.

646
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking forward to it.

647
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:25.800
<v Speaker 4>And.

648
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.039
<v Speaker 1>You've been talking for a long time.

649
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:31.599
<v Speaker 2>It's been a while.

650
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:37.039
<v Speaker 1>Yes, all right, mister McLeod. I love your third base rankings,

651
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.320
<v Speaker 1>particularly because you got some differences with the NFC or

652
00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the ADPs of where they're going. But before we do

653
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:46.559
<v Speaker 1>third base, tell me your thoughts on how you were

654
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:49.920
<v Speaker 1>approaching third base. I know when you did your first

655
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>couple of drafts you had an opinion. Has that opinion changed,

656
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 1>has it been refined? Tell us how you're how you're

657
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:56.920
<v Speaker 1>approaching third base this season.

658
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's only so many holes you can fill with

659
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:07.880
<v Speaker 2>early picks, okay, And when I look at third base,

660
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:12.000
<v Speaker 2>am I going to pass on Jose Ramirez or Junior Caminero,

661
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Michael Garca. Am I going to pass on those guys? No,

662
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:18.000
<v Speaker 2>of course I'm not. I'm not going to move them

663
00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.639
<v Speaker 2>down my list. I'm going to take them as elite

664
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:26.679
<v Speaker 2>players because they are okay, But when in doubt, I'm

665
00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:30.760
<v Speaker 2>going to look at third base as one of the

666
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:35.159
<v Speaker 2>positions that I'm going to move down my list as

667
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:39.360
<v Speaker 2>a player in my team build. I think there are

668
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:42.119
<v Speaker 2>players at third base that you can get later on

669
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:47.320
<v Speaker 2>in drafts that can provide good value and good opportunities,

670
00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:51.679
<v Speaker 2>and I'll try and take advantage of those opportunities and

671
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 2>focus on the first five to eight rounds at filling

672
00:38:56.159 --> 00:39:01.320
<v Speaker 2>the outfield, getting a first base type, a good relief pitcher.

673
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:04.079
<v Speaker 2>So you got to push something down. So in my case,

674
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be pushing down third base and looking

675
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:11.039
<v Speaker 2>at that middle deal cheer and potential bargains.

676
00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we've seen this in a while, that

677
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:18.320
<v Speaker 1>there's two Jose Ramirez and Junior caman Era, two third

678
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:20.320
<v Speaker 1>basements going in the first round.

679
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:27.079
<v Speaker 2>No, and they're both deserving. Yeah, hey Jose Ramirez. Yeah.

680
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 2>Five consecutive twenty twenty seasons, the last two have been

681
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:33.519
<v Speaker 2>thirty thirty. Cavin Arrow is barely out of his teams.

682
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:38.480
<v Speaker 2>He's with twenty two and he's hitting forty five home runs. Like, Yeah,

683
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:41.000
<v Speaker 2>they're both great players and they deserve to be first

684
00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:41.880
<v Speaker 2>round talents.

685
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Mike Mike Caveatica with with Jose Ramirez, it's he's The

686
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:50.280
<v Speaker 1>data says that he is aging. I don't know when

687
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the when the downfalls at the right word, when the

688
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:56.360
<v Speaker 1>things are going to start to fall off. We haven't

689
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>seen it much at all, but the data does not

690
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.039
<v Speaker 1>look good underneath all of him. So I'll just throw

691
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that out there if you if you ADP's five point

692
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty six, totally get it. I'm not going to take

693
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:11.000
<v Speaker 1>him to me. I don't want to be holding the

694
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:14.719
<v Speaker 1>bag when Poser Ramirez all of a sudden that four

695
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred foot home run turns into three seventy and it's caught.

696
00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, when we the natural oh what's the natural decline

697
00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:28.000
<v Speaker 2>will occur? Yep. He's getting older each and every year.

698
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Am I predicting this year he's going to fall off

699
00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the fall off the table. No, I don't think he can.

700
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:36.599
<v Speaker 2>But at the same point in time, I agree with you.

701
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Being cognizant. Cognizant of the fact that he is getting

702
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:43.800
<v Speaker 2>he is getting older. I don't I highly dote he

703
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:47.079
<v Speaker 2>will be on any of my teams this year because

704
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll want to focus in other areas.

705
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.719
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't been a Dynasty League team, I would

706
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.960
<v Speaker 1>be selling that's the guy.

707
00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:58.679
<v Speaker 2>It's a right time. Yeah, much the same as the

708
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:01.559
<v Speaker 2>approach we took in Deal five movie Mike Trow we did.

709
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:04.239
<v Speaker 2>We probably moved a year a year early on Troe,

710
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.320
<v Speaker 2>but a year early in a Dynasty League makes all

711
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the difference in the world. That's compared to moving a

712
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:11.960
<v Speaker 2>year late. Huge difference.

713
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yep. Jose Ramirez. Few guys hit as well as

714
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:19.320
<v Speaker 1>he does. The powers is not what it used to be.

715
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:22.679
<v Speaker 1>It's all leverage home run pop. So just I'm just

716
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:25.519
<v Speaker 1>telling you that the data looks like he is five

717
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:29.920
<v Speaker 1>foot eight and thirty three years old. So gonna go

718
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to the Hall of Fame along with Jose Altuving going

719
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.079
<v Speaker 1>to be two of the smallest players to have kind

720
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:38.920
<v Speaker 1>of put up numbers like they did. It's going to

721
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:39.840
<v Speaker 1>be really impressive.

722
00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:44.159
<v Speaker 2>They've both beaten the odds in a big way and.

723
00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>A big way. Totally agree. So one two is Hasiramia

724
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:49.599
<v Speaker 1>Junior Camanera. I love Tim's comment on Junior Camerania. It's

725
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:52.880
<v Speaker 1>forty five home runs. I mean, as a teenager, twenty

726
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:56.320
<v Speaker 1>year old, that's he's gonna Would you be surprised if

727
00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:58.280
<v Speaker 1>he leads the league for the next five years and

728
00:41:58.320 --> 00:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>home runs.

729
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Not at all? And you yeah, you say, okay, yeah,

730
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:08.440
<v Speaker 2>But he's moving out of that little bandbox and George Brooks,

731
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:12.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, Steinbrenner Stadium. He's moving from Steinbrenner to a

732
00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:14.199
<v Speaker 2>real park. And take a look to take a look

733
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:15.800
<v Speaker 2>at the spray chart and take a look where that

734
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:18.519
<v Speaker 2>balls are landing. I don't think it makes a whole

735
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:19.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of difference.

736
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Jassm comes in at number three. Times filing scene the

737
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:27.440
<v Speaker 1>light with Michel Garcia coming in at number four, Manny

738
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Machado five, George Jordan Westbrook at six, Austin Riley drops

739
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:38.519
<v Speaker 1>down to seven, Uhenio soars at eight, Alex Bredman at nine.

740
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's do the first nine and then we'll take a break.

741
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Talk about number ten for an entire segment.

742
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:50.360
<v Speaker 2>But well well played, well played.

743
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:54.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I I don't know what to say here.

744
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:58.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, MIKEL Garcia is look, it was all sitting

745
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:01.159
<v Speaker 1>there he's not as fast as we think he is,

746
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:04.440
<v Speaker 1>but there's more there's more juice in the in the

747
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:07.320
<v Speaker 1>bat too. I think this is a very good player,

748
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.920
<v Speaker 1>and good on him for learning to be more patient

749
00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:11.480
<v Speaker 1>at the plate.

750
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm.

751
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The other thing I like about Garcia is I

752
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:19.400
<v Speaker 2>looked at his spray turned okay, and you tell you

753
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty well to all fields, but there is like

754
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:27.000
<v Speaker 2>this little horseshoe halo, you know, the diamond at the

755
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:32.039
<v Speaker 2>warning track the shows where all of these balls are landing. Okay. Well,

756
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:35.880
<v Speaker 2>they're moving the fences in at Kauflin and I've seen

757
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.920
<v Speaker 2>some of the projections, you know, boost his home runs

758
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:40.719
<v Speaker 2>by one or two. I think in the case of

759
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Mike tell Garcia, I think it's going to boost his

760
00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:46.199
<v Speaker 2>home runs by more than one or two moving those

761
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:52.000
<v Speaker 2>fences in, and I wouldn't I wouldn't be at all

762
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.920
<v Speaker 2>shocked if we see five seven more home runs out

763
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:58.360
<v Speaker 2>of Garcia this year because of those fences coming in.

764
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:03.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I've been considerably more aggressive than the

765
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:08.599
<v Speaker 2>nfbcquol uh you know, they they've got him at six.

766
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I think the fences will make a difference, and I

767
00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:14.199
<v Speaker 2>think just the natural evolution of his game. He's he's

768
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:19.360
<v Speaker 2>young still, Okay, I'm expecting good things from Mike Bilgercia

769
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:20.760
<v Speaker 2>this year, really good things.

770
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:23.559
<v Speaker 1>So to add and just push back just to Smitch

771
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:28.119
<v Speaker 1>ever so small it is. It is pool site power right.

772
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:31.480
<v Speaker 1>His spray short shows everything going off to the left field.

773
00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at it right now, and he hits the

774
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:36.920
<v Speaker 1>ball harder than you think. Ninety one point three. Yeah,

775
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:41.719
<v Speaker 1>and last year he's finally started to show, which I've

776
00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:44.199
<v Speaker 1>been harping on, a little bit more leverage in a swing.

777
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:48.039
<v Speaker 1>It's only at nine point seven degree, Timmy. If he

778
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:50.679
<v Speaker 1>just starts to add a little bit more leverage with

779
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:55.840
<v Speaker 1>those fences moved in, the power could literally blow up.

780
00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:58.519
<v Speaker 1>And you could You people think I'm crazy. You could

781
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:00.320
<v Speaker 1>see a thirty home run guy sitting there.

782
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:05.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you're crazy, No, not at all, or

783
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.880
<v Speaker 2>at least not for that point. Sorry, Yeah, that's true.

784
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:11.199
<v Speaker 1>True if you give a shot of.

785
00:45:11.199 --> 00:45:16.559
<v Speaker 2>That right well, yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's not time for

786
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:17.519
<v Speaker 2>a group hug yet.

787
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's like how Garcia. I think, Tim good

788
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.559
<v Speaker 1>to see Tim see they're like Manny Machado. Oh but

789
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:27.800
<v Speaker 1>still you know you got him dann one from where

790
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the NFC is going. But still solid though.

791
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:36.119
<v Speaker 2>See yeah, yeah, it's a lot I you know, I

792
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:38.519
<v Speaker 2>started looking at the numbers and yeah, the last season

793
00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:41.159
<v Speaker 2>where he didn't hit twenty five home runs, it's twenty fourteen.

794
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:48.079
<v Speaker 2>That's like eleven, twelve years ago. Like mans, he's a

795
00:45:48.119 --> 00:45:50.639
<v Speaker 2>great talent. I have no problems at all. If you

796
00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:55.079
<v Speaker 2>decide to look at Manny, Machado is as your your

797
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:58.199
<v Speaker 2>choice between him and Garcia, and Machado is a fine player,

798
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:00.599
<v Speaker 2>a consistently strong producer.

799
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Really he is going though in the third round, and

800
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:08.119
<v Speaker 1>given his age, it does feel a little high.

801
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and again everybody looks and says, well, yeah, but

802
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:12.679
<v Speaker 2>he's hit twenty five home runs every every year for

803
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:15.719
<v Speaker 2>the past ten years. Okay, he's only what thirty two.

804
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:19.519
<v Speaker 2>I think he's still fairly young for that because he

805
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.039
<v Speaker 2>got started when he was like seventeen or what he was.

806
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:24.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, he was very very young when he came

807
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:24.719
<v Speaker 2>into the game.

808
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:28.679
<v Speaker 1>He was an when he first played, coming out at

809
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:31.079
<v Speaker 1>third base for the Ools, move to shortstop for a

810
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:32.400
<v Speaker 1>while and then back to third base.

811
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:35.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, back to third base. Yeah, he's a good player,

812
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:37.199
<v Speaker 2>and there's no doubt about it.

813
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I like your aggressiveness on Jordan Westburg. He was one

814
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:42.159
<v Speaker 1>of my targets the last couple of years. It's another

815
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:44.960
<v Speaker 1>target for me this season. I think he can stay

816
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:48.119
<v Speaker 1>healthy again, hits the ball hard. I like the upside

817
00:46:48.159 --> 00:46:49.559
<v Speaker 1>of Jordan Westburg.

818
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:54.559
<v Speaker 2>As do I. You know he's going to stay healthy. Okay,

819
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:57.199
<v Speaker 2>he didn't last year, but you know, a little bit

820
00:46:57.239 --> 00:47:01.719
<v Speaker 2>more than what half a season we saw some hit

821
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:05.920
<v Speaker 2>seventeen home runs. Okay. I just believe right now a

822
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:09.519
<v Speaker 2>little bit more in Westburgh than I do Riley, Suarez

823
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:13.079
<v Speaker 2>and Bregman, and I've moved Westburg up to reflect that.

824
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Right now, we're looking at Westburg as a ninth round investment. Yeah.

825
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I like that in the ninth round. I like it

826
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot Richard, Austin Riley.

827
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:28.239
<v Speaker 1>A little down on Austin Riley and from Thames right up,

828
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it seems more you're worried about him staying healthy. He's

829
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:33.400
<v Speaker 1>still hit the ball really hard.

830
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know what he could He could be

831
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:42.199
<v Speaker 2>a top three player at third base if he can

832
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:44.960
<v Speaker 2>return to the six hundred bad days of twenty twenty

833
00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:48.519
<v Speaker 2>one to twenty twenty three, where he's hitting thirty thirty

834
00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:50.800
<v Speaker 2>five to forty home runs every year and driving in

835
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:54.039
<v Speaker 2>one hundred plus. Yeah, that could happen right now. I

836
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:58.199
<v Speaker 2>just after the past two years in the miss time,

837
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:03.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little bit concerned. And hey, you'd be right

838
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:05.519
<v Speaker 2>in saying I could be concerned about Westbrook two all

839
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:09.880
<v Speaker 2>of these players, there are areas where we can be concerned.

840
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:12.519
<v Speaker 2>But it doesn't mean they don't have potential. I'm just

841
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:14.960
<v Speaker 2>believing a little bit more in one as compared to

842
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:15.280
<v Speaker 2>the other.

843
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:20.599
<v Speaker 1>YEP, agreed, And that Alex Bregman at number nine. Is

844
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:23.079
<v Speaker 1>it fair to say boring old Alex Bregman.

845
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it is. You look at the numbers

846
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:33.119
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, I low twenties home run power, the hit

847
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:38.239
<v Speaker 2>tool is great. The only thing that I would recommend

848
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:42.800
<v Speaker 2>is don't overpay for the move to Chicago. And he

849
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.679
<v Speaker 2>is getting up there a little bit. He's what thirty two.

850
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I think, Yeah, why would you even think consider overpaying

851
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:52.519
<v Speaker 1>for the move to Chicago.

852
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm a fan of the Cubs and he's going

853
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:57.760
<v Speaker 2>to hit thirty runs, driving one hundred and ten, he's

854
00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:00.559
<v Speaker 2>going to steal fifteen, you know what I mean. Alex Baggan,

855
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.639
<v Speaker 2>I think is defined as who he is the move

856
00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:08.119
<v Speaker 2>to Chicago doesn't really help him. Yeah, it doesn't. Yeah,

857
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:13.000
<v Speaker 2>so he's an OK pick, but he's no number ten

858
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:13.559
<v Speaker 2>type pick.

859
00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agreed, Timmy, take a break, come back and

860
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:19.199
<v Speaker 1>let's talk, shall we.

861
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm ready to hear that zero zero into the background.

862
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:44.800
<v Speaker 1>A ready, so irying to take a little break, little

863
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.480
<v Speaker 1>potty break. So we're good to go. So, Timmy, we're

864
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:50.719
<v Speaker 1>going through your top ten. We did top nine and

865
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:57.599
<v Speaker 1>sitting at number ten Kasimu Okamoto. He is ranked twenty

866
00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:01.440
<v Speaker 1>six ADP, third BA off the board. You have him

867
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:05.199
<v Speaker 1>at ten, ADP is three point thirty four point four

868
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.519
<v Speaker 1>five round twenty three, and you're telling people to essentially

869
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:12.679
<v Speaker 1>take him and round ten eleven.

870
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying that he is going to earn the number

871
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:23.199
<v Speaker 2>ten spot in production this year. But am I telling

872
00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:26.079
<v Speaker 2>you to take him in round ten? No? I. What

873
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:28.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm telling you is that I think he is

874
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:31.400
<v Speaker 2>going to be a very good player and his levels

875
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:34.079
<v Speaker 2>of production are going to warrant a pick as high

876
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:38.119
<v Speaker 2>as that. Right. Well, the NFBC rank is twenty six.

877
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:39.800
<v Speaker 2>If you go to the past couple of weeks, it's

878
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:45.159
<v Speaker 2>now moved to eighteen. Okay, his ADP at three thirty four,

879
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I believes in the two forty range. So we've already

880
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:50.880
<v Speaker 2>seen a correction which we knew was going to happen.

881
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:55.679
<v Speaker 2>So even though I am considerably higher than the NFBC,

882
00:50:55.840 --> 00:51:01.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not as hot as current. Look at the NFBC.

883
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:03.960
<v Speaker 2>This starting to be a little up there. If you

884
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:06.559
<v Speaker 2>can get him, if you can get him, You're not

885
00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:10.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna get him at three thirty four. Okay, you're gonna

886
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:15.960
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have to look right now at probably somewhere

887
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:20.039
<v Speaker 2>in the fifteenth to eighteenth round. I'm saying he's going

888
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:23.400
<v Speaker 2>to earn ten. He's going to be the tenth best

889
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:27.000
<v Speaker 2>producer at third base this year.

890
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh right, over under twenty twenty two home runs over

891
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:43.599
<v Speaker 1>over under twenty six home runs over. Wow, Tim's allen, guys.

892
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is probably the boldest I think I have

893
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:51.679
<v Speaker 2>ever been, and I've been bowled on some Asian players before,

894
00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:54.119
<v Speaker 2>but I think he's going to be a twenty seven

895
00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:58.599
<v Speaker 2>to ninety with a high OVP, solid batting average type player.

896
00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I think he's going to be at the end of

897
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:03.719
<v Speaker 2>the year. I could see him moving up as high

898
00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:08.159
<v Speaker 2>as possibly sixty seven on this list. He's a he's

899
00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:10.519
<v Speaker 2>a good player that a lot of people are ignoring

900
00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:13.920
<v Speaker 2>because of a player called MURKAMMI, and I don't I

901
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.159
<v Speaker 2>think I think they're going to be proven wrong. I'm

902
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:18.840
<v Speaker 2>all in, well all in.

903
00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm all in. But I took

904
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:25.079
<v Speaker 1>him on my NFC team, and I took him exclusively.

905
00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:28.119
<v Speaker 1>The sole reason I took him was because of this.

906
00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:33.320
<v Speaker 1>So uh, I'm not only I'm not only a partner

907
00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:38.119
<v Speaker 1>with him. I am a fan, so I'm also rounding.

908
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you are? What round did you? What round did

909
00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:45.719
<v Speaker 2>you pick him? In? Rich?

910
00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Good question. Let me go to the draft board here,

911
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:53.599
<v Speaker 1>Okamoto Oko? Something you saying? Okamoto?

912
00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Okay?

913
00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Seven seventeen.

914
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Steele steal yep.

915
00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:06.599
<v Speaker 1>I got very shortly after after he signed with the

916
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Blue Jays, so yeah, I also yeah, no, I also

917
00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:15.679
<v Speaker 1>drafted Haystan Kim too, So that didn't work out for me.

918
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:21.320
<v Speaker 2>No, No, damn Dodgers in their spending ways. Eh.

919
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:23.559
<v Speaker 1>I got him a but twenty six round, so it

920
00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:27.199
<v Speaker 1>was but just a reserve pick. But I was hoping

921
00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:29.639
<v Speaker 1>to see more. But that didn't. That didn't work out. Okay,

922
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's do eleven through twenty here we got novel Marte,

923
00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Matt Chapman, Addison Barger, Jose Cavalerio, Alec Baum, Max Munsey,

924
00:53:40.079 --> 00:53:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Miguel Vargas, Royce Lewis, Caleb Durban and Marcel oh Mayor

925
00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:51.920
<v Speaker 1>because of your love for Okamoto, Marte, Chapman and Barger

926
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:56.719
<v Speaker 1>go down. Do you think we're finally gonna see a

927
00:53:56.719 --> 00:53:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a step up with Marte?

928
00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:04.559
<v Speaker 2>I think it's all I think. I think it's all

929
00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:08.000
<v Speaker 2>set up where yes, we are, but there are still

930
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:13.559
<v Speaker 2>questions about there's still playing time questions there. And although

931
00:54:13.599 --> 00:54:17.840
<v Speaker 2>he did have a great basically half a season, fourteen

932
00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:22.480
<v Speaker 2>home runs, ten stolen bases, I'm not one hundred percent

933
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:27.440
<v Speaker 2>sold on Marte, even though everything is set up for success.

934
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Does that make sense? Yes, yeah, it's yeah. I And

935
00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:39.039
<v Speaker 2>again when because of that, I moved him, I've moved

936
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:42.920
<v Speaker 2>him down basically a slot. Matt Chapman. I think Matt

937
00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Chapin's a fine pick. You know, he said twenty seven homers,

938
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:50.119
<v Speaker 2>three of the past five. I think he's relatively a

939
00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:53.960
<v Speaker 2>safe pick. Marte, there's risk, and Barger there's risk, but

940
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:58.159
<v Speaker 2>there's also considerable upsize. I believe in the power game

941
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:06.440
<v Speaker 2>of Madison bargers. So those three, yeah, I I like them,

942
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:11.800
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know if I like them enough to

943
00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:13.440
<v Speaker 2>to invest that they're going rate.

944
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:18.599
<v Speaker 1>My guy here, if you wait, my guy is Matt Chapman.

945
00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:23.639
<v Speaker 1>I think he's boring, but the data's great on this guy.

946
00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:26.000
<v Speaker 1>He hits the ball hard, he's faster than you think.

947
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just look, it's a boring twenty five

948
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:33.239
<v Speaker 1>arm runs and you know, some stolen bases and a

949
00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:35.480
<v Speaker 1>guy that's never going to light it up from a

950
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:37.639
<v Speaker 1>hitting standpoint, but enough that I don't think he's going

951
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:40.440
<v Speaker 1>to hurt you. And again, if you decide not to

952
00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:43.519
<v Speaker 1>partake in one of the big guys, I just think

953
00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:45.519
<v Speaker 1>he's a nice, little safe guy that you can then

954
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:48.840
<v Speaker 1>come back and maybe get somebody with some upside later

955
00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:53.920
<v Speaker 1>on in case you want to upgrade potentially down with Chapman's.

956
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:55.679
<v Speaker 1>That's how I like to play third base.

957
00:55:56.559 --> 00:55:59.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, and that's perfect with buying. There's nothing wrong

958
00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:04.840
<v Speaker 2>with that at all. Jose Cavallero, the Pennsylan fifty stolen bases, Okay, yeah,

959
00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:08.639
<v Speaker 2>if hey, if you're looking at a situation where you

960
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:12.159
<v Speaker 2>need the speed, there's nothing wrong with that. Pick in

961
00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:15.320
<v Speaker 2>the mid teen rounds.

962
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, one of the one of the big impediments for

963
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Jose Cavallero got off the board. I was really worried

964
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:25.679
<v Speaker 1>until Boba Schett signed it. It does appear like the

965
00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Yankees are just not playing in this year's free agency.

966
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure why not. I'm not a huge Yankee fans.

967
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I've been followed that closely. But it does appear they're

968
00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:39.679
<v Speaker 1>going to go with Jose Cavallero until my Anthony Volpi

969
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:41.800
<v Speaker 1>is ready. That's the way it looks to me.

970
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:46.639
<v Speaker 2>And if I strongly believe that if Cavallero plays well,

971
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Volpi might not come back to a full time job,

972
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not convinced that that be the case. Yeah. So again, Hey,

973
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:01.039
<v Speaker 2>if you're looking for speed, I think the floor is

974
00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:03.719
<v Speaker 2>reasonably safe with Cavallero.

975
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Even if bolt Be comes back June first, that's two

976
00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:12.800
<v Speaker 1>months of Cavallero, and that's fifteen stolen bases, maybe twenty

977
00:57:12.840 --> 00:57:16.960
<v Speaker 1>stolen base Yeah, this first thing, it's just just money.

978
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is just money in the bank, those stolen bases. Ye, agreed,

979
00:57:24.039 --> 00:57:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Alec Baum.

980
00:57:24.679 --> 00:57:26.519
<v Speaker 1>You like Alec Baum a lot. He's going as a

981
00:57:26.559 --> 00:57:30.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty second guy off the board, he's you've got him

982
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:32.400
<v Speaker 1>at number fifteen. I do worry about Bam. The data

983
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:35.239
<v Speaker 1>actually looks reasonably good on this guy. He was not

984
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:38.719
<v Speaker 1>one of my targets, but he came close. I do

985
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:45.639
<v Speaker 1>like Aiden Miller as potentially getting the call and maybe

986
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:49.960
<v Speaker 1>taking of a little third base there. So that's my

987
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:53.239
<v Speaker 1>thought on why I would not get too excited about

988
00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:55.559
<v Speaker 1>alcoholm But the data does look solid on this guy.

989
00:57:56.519 --> 00:57:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you mean you got Trey Turner and Shoreburn

990
00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Harber hitting ahead of you. You know, I'm not suggesting

991
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:04.760
<v Speaker 2>that Alex Bowman is a twenty five home run bat

992
00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:08.239
<v Speaker 2>He's not. I think he's fifteen home run twelve to fifteen.

993
00:58:08.280 --> 00:58:12.719
<v Speaker 2>But the batting average should be solid and the RBI opportunities.

994
00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I pencil in a floor of eighty eighty to eighty five,

995
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:19.880
<v Speaker 2>so the RBI should be there.

996
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Thegul vargas a little bit higher on him than most

997
00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:28.280
<v Speaker 1>at the White Sox. Kind of strange to see a

998
00:58:28.280 --> 00:58:33.599
<v Speaker 1>White Sox guy surging in a poll.

999
00:58:33.719 --> 00:58:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you know, you look at what he did last year, okay,

1000
00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:45.400
<v Speaker 2>and sixteen homers sixty are sixty RBIs okay, he scored

1001
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:49.280
<v Speaker 2>eighty runs. He's not in danger of losing playing dying

1002
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to anybody. And he's young enough, I think we could

1003
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:58.239
<v Speaker 2>see a little bit better. I feel reasonably comfortable in

1004
00:58:58.320 --> 00:59:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Berg. It's moving him up if he goes twenty

1005
00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:05.480
<v Speaker 2>home runs and up to the RBIs to seventy five

1006
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:07.559
<v Speaker 2>to eighty to go along with the run scored. This

1007
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:11.719
<v Speaker 2>pretty good player and a player that, even though he's

1008
00:59:11.719 --> 00:59:14.360
<v Speaker 2>being drafted further down the list, one that I feel

1009
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:19.880
<v Speaker 2>relatively comfortable with as compared to say Royce Lewis, who

1010
00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:25.599
<v Speaker 2>can't stay on the field. Yeah, he actually didn't have He.

1011
00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Actually didn't have a very good season last year either.

1012
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Last I looked from what he did in terms of

1013
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:34.480
<v Speaker 1>what he has done in such a limited number of

1014
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:37.239
<v Speaker 1>at bats in previous seasons. It was not a good

1015
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:39.239
<v Speaker 1>showing by Royce Lewis last year.

1016
00:59:40.159 --> 00:59:44.000
<v Speaker 2>No, and he broke the three hundred of batmark, but

1017
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:45.639
<v Speaker 2>not by a whole heck of a lot. I just

1018
00:59:46.199 --> 00:59:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel confident some one of these years Royce

1019
00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Lewis is going to get in five hundred and fifty

1020
00:59:50.960 --> 00:59:55.119
<v Speaker 2>at bats and his forty home runs, possibly if he's

1021
00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:57.719
<v Speaker 2>not too beat up at the stage of his career.

1022
00:59:57.760 --> 01:00:00.559
<v Speaker 2>The potential is still there, but he's not a player

1023
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:04.199
<v Speaker 2>that I'm endeared to, not in any stretching imagination, because

1024
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:07.199
<v Speaker 2>I think for every one good year he has, he

1025
01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:09.719
<v Speaker 2>could have three four bad. I'm I'll weigh out the

1026
01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:11.840
<v Speaker 2>odds and say I'll look elsewhere.

1027
01:00:11.960 --> 01:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Rich sprint speed's at thirty four percent ex of velocities

1028
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>at eighty nine point eight, so solid power, below average speed,

1029
01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:27.079
<v Speaker 1>below average contact skills. Be careful, yep, I agree, risk

1030
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Evan Marcela Mayor. You've got him fourteen higher than when

1031
01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>he's going in the NFBC. You have you have any reasons.

1032
01:00:33.880 --> 01:00:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Why substance abuse.

1033
01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:41.519
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think you were that high on him, but

1034
01:00:41.719 --> 01:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess you just liked them a little bit better

1035
01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>than Murakami and Esac. Parade is an Ernie Clement, Josh Smith, etc.

1036
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:54.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Basically, when you look at Mayor, his ADP's five

1037
01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:57.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, I would rather have Mayor than a commie

1038
01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Paradis Clement, Josh Smith, the whole group after him, Connor Norby.

1039
01:01:03.079 --> 01:01:08.559
<v Speaker 2>There's upside there, Okay, when you get down into you know,

1040
01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty moving moving down the ladder, do you want to

1041
01:01:12.159 --> 01:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>you want a head for the for the upside potential

1042
01:01:15.679 --> 01:01:20.199
<v Speaker 2>or do you want to take Ernie Clement or Connor

1043
01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Norby or Ryan McMahon. Now I would rather, I would rather.

1044
01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Ryan McMahon is the guy you want. What's your next question?

1045
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I would rather gamble. There was so little blue okay

1046
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:38.679
<v Speaker 2>on his whiff whiff and strakeout rates. I had to

1047
01:01:38.679 --> 01:01:42.199
<v Speaker 2>pull a magnifying glass oh to see it. But no,

1048
01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I I want I'll take my chances on the upside.

1049
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's gonna be looking over his shoulder,

1050
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:50.079
<v Speaker 2>and I think that I think he'll learn that uh

1051
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:52.039
<v Speaker 2>that twenty ranking come yere in.

1052
01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow, we'll see. I mean he just said he just

1053
01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>may or just just did not play well, So I'll

1054
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>be right. I do hm in a couple of dynastas legues,

1055
01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe one. I think I traded them. So after that

1056
01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of a hot set. Now Mirror Comedy's at twenty one. Look,

1057
01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>you've been on records saying you like the player, you're

1058
01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:16.159
<v Speaker 1>worried about how much he's going to strike out, and

1059
01:02:16.199 --> 01:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>then I think over time. I don't know if it's

1060
01:02:18.519 --> 01:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>because it's now the White Sox just we haven't talked

1061
01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>about this, but my sense is you're getting more negative

1062
01:02:26.480 --> 01:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>on him every week.

1063
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it. I don't think it's more negative.

1064
01:02:33.440 --> 01:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm just being more vocal about by negativity. Yeah, it's

1065
01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:41.679
<v Speaker 2>I think what you're looking at is a Kyle Schwarber's

1066
01:02:41.719 --> 01:02:47.199
<v Speaker 2>skill set, Okay, And I gotta admit when I read this,

1067
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>I thought, damn, that's got to be about the harshest

1068
01:02:49.679 --> 01:02:53.199
<v Speaker 2>I think I've ever been on a former player coming

1069
01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>out of Japan. But if you want the Kyle Schwarber

1070
01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>skill set, just pay for Kyle Schwarber. Remove the dotus

1071
01:03:01.079 --> 01:03:04.119
<v Speaker 2>to the outcome. I think he's going to have problems

1072
01:03:04.159 --> 01:03:07.079
<v Speaker 2>with high heat. I think he's going to be very streaky,

1073
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:09.559
<v Speaker 2>as he has been in Japan. Yeah, he could hit

1074
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:12.119
<v Speaker 2>forty home runs, but it could be a companied with

1075
01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:15.679
<v Speaker 2>a one nine ninety five batting average and a three

1076
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:21.159
<v Speaker 2>forty OVP. I just be careful that he's not going

1077
01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:23.599
<v Speaker 2>to be in my plans this year. I think Okamoto

1078
01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:28.320
<v Speaker 2>is a far I think he's a far better and

1079
01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>more polished all round player, and that has my attention

1080
01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>at a bargain basement prices compared to America. Now, when

1081
01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:42.039
<v Speaker 2>I look at the past fifteen days or so, Mura

1082
01:03:42.119 --> 01:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Kakami is still ahead of Okamoto, but it's only by

1083
01:03:45.360 --> 01:03:48.639
<v Speaker 2>two rounds, so there's been a huge correction in both

1084
01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>those players.

1085
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I am in the process of doing our first year

1086
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:57.679
<v Speaker 1>player first year player rankings, and I have ranked my

1087
01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>international guys, including the Japanese players for dynasty leagues. Tim

1088
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>where would you would you take first? Murakami likee younger

1089
01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>than Okamoto or still Okamoto in a dynasty.

1090
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>League, still Okamoto Okamoa's twenty nine if you.

1091
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>A wide margin or shallow margin.

1092
01:04:25.039 --> 01:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Fairly wide personally, because I don't want the risk, Hey,

1093
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:33.079
<v Speaker 2>he's going to strike out a tone. I don't want

1094
01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:38.239
<v Speaker 2>to assume he could be he could be Joey Gallo.

1095
01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:43.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to take that risk. Okamoto will not

1096
01:04:43.159 --> 01:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>be Joey Gallo. And most dynasty leagues if you get

1097
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>if you get five years out of a dynasty league,

1098
01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>you're doing well. I think Okamoto can play until mid

1099
01:04:54.800 --> 01:04:59.840
<v Speaker 2>thirties and be a solid producer, so the age doesn't

1100
01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:03.719
<v Speaker 2>really come into play for me. Now. If Americami was

1101
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:07.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, that would be you know, that would affect

1102
01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:09.599
<v Speaker 2>things a little differently. But I think you can get

1103
01:05:09.599 --> 01:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>four to five years out of Okomotive, So I'm the

1104
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:16.519
<v Speaker 2>dynasty factor I'm treating I would be treating him much

1105
01:05:16.519 --> 01:05:19.559
<v Speaker 2>the same as I wouldn't read draft like, how many

1106
01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>players do you look at for more than three to

1107
01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:24.679
<v Speaker 2>five years in the Dynasty League. It's not that many, really,

1108
01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I think if you look at the rosters at.

1109
01:05:26.239 --> 01:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>The end of the day, right, I have Okamoto ranked

1110
01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>at one sixty three and I have Murakami ranked at

1111
01:05:33.760 --> 01:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>two oh three. Well done to narrow, to narrow or

1112
01:05:41.039 --> 01:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>just about right.

1113
01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:44.159
<v Speaker 2>I think that's just about right.

1114
01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got that.

1115
01:05:46.679 --> 01:05:49.480
<v Speaker 2>In first year, the first year player drafts, I could

1116
01:05:49.639 --> 01:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I could go as high as top three on America

1117
01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:55.519
<v Speaker 2>on Okomotive, remaining on your team and build and needs. Yeah,

1118
01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>in DL five, if we had a top three pick,

1119
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>he'd probably be number three.

1120
01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I've got I got Amaya number three.

1121
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I would probably have a Maya at one, Anderson

1122
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:14.199
<v Speaker 2>at two, and Okamoto with three.

1123
01:06:14.519 --> 01:06:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I got Ethan Holliday at one, Kate Anderson and two,

1124
01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>am I at three, and then I've got a bunch

1125
01:06:22.039 --> 01:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of younger players. I got okamotives down probably second round

1126
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>for me just because of the age. But I haven't

1127
01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>yet I'm still working on it, so I might move

1128
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>him up a little bit, but I'm struggling with the

1129
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:40.280
<v Speaker 1>age twenty nine years old. Where do you put him

1130
01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:43.599
<v Speaker 1>in and uh from a dynasty league. There's a lot

1131
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:47.159
<v Speaker 1>of these guys that might have higher upsite better careers,

1132
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I'm trying to figure out.

1133
01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:51.559
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, it's a tough one, Rich because you know

1134
01:06:51.599 --> 01:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>what Okamoto can help you for the next three years, Okay,

1135
01:06:55.119 --> 01:06:56.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the players that you're going to be

1136
01:06:56.760 --> 01:06:59.119
<v Speaker 2>ranking ahead of them might not make the majors for

1137
01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:02.880
<v Speaker 2>three years, right, So it just depends on Yeah.

1138
01:07:02.679 --> 01:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>But some of these guys might not ever make the

1139
01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:07.679
<v Speaker 1>majors as well, so I mean at all. Yeah, Yeah,

1140
01:07:07.760 --> 01:07:10.559
<v Speaker 1>So I mean that's that's the risk. So I'm looking

1141
01:07:10.599 --> 01:07:13.039
<v Speaker 1>at this and looking at the players in front of them,

1142
01:07:13.039 --> 01:07:17.679
<v Speaker 1>and I'm struggling to think how Gavin Fine is going

1143
01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:21.239
<v Speaker 1>to have a better major league career than Akamoto given

1144
01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the risk.

1145
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and again, if Okamoto slides down to the

1146
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:31.639
<v Speaker 2>back of the first round, early second round, that means

1147
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that somebody who finished in the top three, okay in

1148
01:07:36.880 --> 01:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>your leagues last year, is going to get a shot

1149
01:07:40.079 --> 01:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>at a player that's going to help him right now,

1150
01:07:44.159 --> 01:07:47.400
<v Speaker 2>that's looking awful good for a top three team, isn't

1151
01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>it immediate help out of a first year player draft.

1152
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you're not using the first year player draft.

1153
01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>The poor teams are picking first, then they're not going

1154
01:07:56.519 --> 01:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to want Lokomotive.

1155
01:07:58.760 --> 01:08:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, So it's it's shifts to and that. Yeah, it

1156
01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>really benefits the teams that did well last year having

1157
01:08:05.360 --> 01:08:08.119
<v Speaker 2>a player like him come over because it gives him

1158
01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:11.239
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity and immediate help. And that's what those last three,

1159
01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, for the most part, that's what your teams

1160
01:08:14.360 --> 01:08:17.079
<v Speaker 2>have finished for second, third, fourth, they want right right

1161
01:08:17.079 --> 01:08:20.880
<v Speaker 2>to get better. Yeah. Yeah, it's a interesting, tough call.

1162
01:08:21.399 --> 01:08:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Tough call. Let's see, let's take a break and come

1163
01:08:25.479 --> 01:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>back and let's start to pop around a little bit.

1164
01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:29.159
<v Speaker 1>See some guys that's.

1165
01:08:29.359 --> 01:08:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Likes we are covering their based on the top twenty

1166
01:08:42.199 --> 01:08:44.800
<v Speaker 4>twenty one or so, actually twenty top twenty five.

1167
01:08:45.199 --> 01:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>You also like Jonathan India higher and rank McMahon well done,

1168
01:08:49.359 --> 01:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>and then Matt Charlotte minus sixteen.

1169
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's going I'd love to say I didn't look

1170
01:08:57.399 --> 01:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>at Matt Shaw and let me just take a quick

1171
01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:04.239
<v Speaker 2>look here at the ADPs for the past two weeks

1172
01:09:04.239 --> 01:09:05.840
<v Speaker 2>to see where matt Shaw is going.

1173
01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:09.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, that is all due to the Alex Bregman signing.

1174
01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah that yeah, he's down to fifteen now in

1175
01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the NFBC. Uh yeah, I've factored the Alex Bregman signing

1176
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:27.199
<v Speaker 2>in there. And let's face it, right now, with Moyeses

1177
01:09:27.439 --> 01:09:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Bellisteros looking at the DH slot, Matt Shaw does not

1178
01:09:31.800 --> 01:09:34.279
<v Speaker 2>have a place to call home right now. They're looking

1179
01:09:34.319 --> 01:09:37.359
<v Speaker 2>as Adam as a super subtype option possibly in twenty

1180
01:09:37.399 --> 01:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. I just put proceed with caution. How you

1181
01:09:42.079 --> 01:09:44.359
<v Speaker 2>rank a player fairly high who doesn't have a position

1182
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>to play.

1183
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>In totally grey. We brought that up when signing. But

1184
01:09:50.640 --> 01:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Ballistaiir's better hit or Matt Shaw will get those a

1185
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:55.560
<v Speaker 1>lot more of those at bats.

1186
01:09:55.239 --> 01:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>At D Totally agree, totally agree. But as of right

1187
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:03.079
<v Speaker 2>now and today, what do you today? What do you

1188
01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:06.960
<v Speaker 2>do with Sean Bellistaro's I think the Cubs want Balistarios

1189
01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:11.039
<v Speaker 2>to succeed. They might move one of their catchers at

1190
01:10:11.039 --> 01:10:14.039
<v Speaker 2>some point in time to create a you know, further opportunities,

1191
01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:18.960
<v Speaker 2>but not as of today. It's a tough call. I'd

1192
01:10:19.000 --> 01:10:22.479
<v Speaker 2>be very very cautious with that whole cub situation right now,

1193
01:10:22.720 --> 01:10:26.359
<v Speaker 2>and Matt Shaw would not be on my list of players. Yeah,

1194
01:10:26.479 --> 01:10:30.640
<v Speaker 2>the Beisterios falls enough. Yeah, I some intered Matt Shaw,

1195
01:10:30.760 --> 01:10:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just concerned right now.

1196
01:10:33.800 --> 01:10:37.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ballistaris is a very interesting guy, because that guy

1197
01:10:37.399 --> 01:10:40.680
<v Speaker 1>can flat out hit. And if you can hit, you

1198
01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>stick in the major leagues. It's if you can't hit,

1199
01:10:43.079 --> 01:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't. I mean, it's just not even more common.

1200
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was gonna say, they'll find a place for

1201
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:51.039
<v Speaker 2>you to play if you can hit, right, they'll work

1202
01:10:51.079 --> 01:10:53.760
<v Speaker 2>around something and create something, do whatever they have to

1203
01:10:53.800 --> 01:10:55.119
<v Speaker 2>do to get the bat in the lineup.

1204
01:10:55.279 --> 01:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>You're you're going to get a shot. And that's why

1205
01:10:56.840 --> 01:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I keep going back to Gavin Lux is not a

1206
01:10:58.600 --> 01:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>great player, not a great, terrible fantasy player, but he

1207
01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>can hit. Yeah, And guys like that you usually get

1208
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a chance until they get expensive and then it's no Moss.

1209
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:14.199
<v Speaker 1>But and the fact that, yeah, so I just think

1210
01:11:14.239 --> 01:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you have to keep that in consideration. And you've also

1211
01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>obviously really down on Mark Fiento's and Brett Battie. In fact,

1212
01:11:21.640 --> 01:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you're just like, I'm not dealing with these guys anymore.

1213
01:11:25.439 --> 01:11:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm no, I'm hey, if they're sitting there in

1214
01:11:30.119 --> 01:11:33.039
<v Speaker 2>the reserve rounds, yeah, I'll toss a dark, but I

1215
01:11:33.079 --> 01:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Am not going to commit a regular roster spot either

1216
01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:39.319
<v Speaker 2>one of those guys because or have the Mets committed

1217
01:11:39.359 --> 01:11:42.359
<v Speaker 2>anything to them? Yeah? Maybe you know right now they

1218
01:11:42.399 --> 01:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>got baby and his DH, but it could be Biento's,

1219
01:11:45.840 --> 01:11:48.600
<v Speaker 2>it could be whomever. It's just a mess that I'm

1220
01:11:48.640 --> 01:11:50.760
<v Speaker 2>going to totally avoid rich.

1221
01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:55.359
<v Speaker 1>Another big off season. The off season moves have really

1222
01:11:55.399 --> 01:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>put down Jordan Lawler is now go back to the

1223
01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>list tier. Oh yeah, he's down. Uh, where's Jordan Lawler?

1224
01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I missed forty seven forty seven?

1225
01:12:09.479 --> 01:12:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so let me just type in low. Yeah, he's

1226
01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>down sixteen slots. Yeah, and that and that's because of

1227
01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the Aeronauta trade.

1228
01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I'm not high on Aeronato. I've gone him

1229
01:12:21.840 --> 01:12:26.279
<v Speaker 2>in thirty. So it's it's not a result of any

1230
01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:30.760
<v Speaker 2>any big skill set maneuversus the fact that he's got

1231
01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:33.439
<v Speaker 2>he's gotta find a home and the outfield looks like

1232
01:12:33.439 --> 01:12:36.520
<v Speaker 2>you get and he doesn't have much on his resume

1233
01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>for oatfields. So yeah, they've.

1234
01:12:39.680 --> 01:12:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Already they've already locked in the Nolan Aernado bobblehead day.

1235
01:12:44.640 --> 01:12:48.279
<v Speaker 1>They're all they're already uh digitally printed to me. They're

1236
01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>ready to go.

1237
01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, and yeah, as much the same as Carlos Korea.

1238
01:12:55.600 --> 01:12:58.399
<v Speaker 2>I am fairly down on Korea. But I don't know,

1239
01:12:58.760 --> 01:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>is there any reason to be up on Carlos's career.

1240
01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got power, and I think he can hit. Yeah,

1241
01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>it's just a boring guy that he hasn't He hasn't

1242
01:13:11.239 --> 01:13:13.239
<v Speaker 1>shown much power of the last couple of years, and

1243
01:13:13.239 --> 01:13:14.439
<v Speaker 1>he gets hurt all the time.

1244
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, last year, in five hundred and thirty

1245
01:13:17.720 --> 01:13:20.199
<v Speaker 2>seven at bats, he hit thirteen home runs, drove in

1246
01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:24.199
<v Speaker 2>fifty two. He hasn't stolen a base since twenty nineteen,

1247
01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and that total in twenty nineteen was one. Okay, yeah,

1248
01:13:28.800 --> 01:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>he can still hit, but what do you want for power?

1249
01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:38.600
<v Speaker 2>The power numbers, he doesn't run. It's just it's not

1250
01:13:38.720 --> 01:13:41.760
<v Speaker 2>a player that if I'm looking at Carlos career on

1251
01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:43.359
<v Speaker 2>one of my teams, it must be because I have

1252
01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:46.640
<v Speaker 2>multiple shares on that same team of Matt Shaw and

1253
01:13:46.720 --> 01:13:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Brett Batty.

1254
01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I have forgotten why what's your love again? For Jose Tina,

1255
01:13:52.319 --> 01:13:54.119
<v Speaker 1>who I was all on a couple of years ago.

1256
01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:57.319
<v Speaker 1>But it feels like the Nationals just hate Jose Tana.

1257
01:13:58.199 --> 01:14:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Why is why do you still hold out hope that

1258
01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:02.159
<v Speaker 1>he's going to get a job at.

1259
01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Some point Brady House?

1260
01:14:06.560 --> 01:14:09.319
<v Speaker 1>You don't, You don't believe in Brady House at all.

1261
01:14:09.600 --> 01:14:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I I've got hosts ranked higher. But who's backing

1262
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:17.640
<v Speaker 2>up Brady House. It's got to be Tinia. So I

1263
01:14:17.680 --> 01:14:21.960
<v Speaker 2>think there's I believe there's more of an opportunity for

1264
01:14:22.239 --> 01:14:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Hose eighteen to end up with regular at bats than

1265
01:14:25.680 --> 01:14:29.279
<v Speaker 2>there is at Mendosuser or have your bias or Christian

1266
01:14:29.720 --> 01:14:33.079
<v Speaker 2>And there's there's a lot in there not to like,

1267
01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:36.439
<v Speaker 2>but there is still something I think too like with

1268
01:14:36.520 --> 01:14:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Hose eighteen.

1269
01:14:38.960 --> 01:14:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Ronnie Marisa has dropped, how your bias has dropped? All

1270
01:14:42.119 --> 01:14:45.239
<v Speaker 1>that makes total sense? And you're up a little higher

1271
01:14:45.239 --> 01:14:48.079
<v Speaker 1>on Graham Paulie, we're trying to convince me to grab

1272
01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>him in our last uh last look into my draft.

1273
01:14:50.920 --> 01:14:53.239
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the password got taken a couple of

1274
01:14:53.359 --> 01:14:57.359
<v Speaker 1>slots after I took Ben Joyce, So my dream of

1275
01:14:57.399 --> 01:14:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the password is is shattered.

1276
01:14:59.359 --> 01:15:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Tim, Yes, you'll get an extra two years on your

1277
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:07.800
<v Speaker 2>spell check, so yes, all right, let's go.

1278
01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the heart, let's go to the hard questions.

1279
01:15:11.039 --> 01:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's me okomotive because you are in the top ten.

1280
01:15:14.039 --> 01:15:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Because we've talked enough about that. Give me a player

1281
01:15:17.079 --> 01:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that drops out of the top ten and a player

1282
01:15:19.960 --> 01:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that falls that rises into the top ten.

1283
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Eugenio Suarez drops out of the top ten.

1284
01:15:30.199 --> 01:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Why is that?

1285
01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, he still has a signed he's thirty five years old.

1286
01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:41.920
<v Speaker 2>He can he can hit forty home runs. But you know,

1287
01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:45.359
<v Speaker 2>if Westberg and Riley are healthy, I don't see any

1288
01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:50.119
<v Speaker 2>problems in the top five. So you're looking at a

1289
01:15:50.199 --> 01:15:57.319
<v Speaker 2>choice between Suarez, Bregman, Gregman. Sure, uh, those are the

1290
01:15:57.319 --> 01:16:00.279
<v Speaker 2>two that I would think could fall are those two

1291
01:16:00.279 --> 01:16:08.920
<v Speaker 2>players for is in Bragman and replacing them? Oh Murakami, Yeah,

1292
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:13.439
<v Speaker 2>heybe it's forty home runs. Yeah, if he's forty home runs,

1293
01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll go I'm gonna go to me.

1294
01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:19.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna go on the limbit. It might be

1295
01:16:19.119 --> 01:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>time to tap out. Say it's been a good run

1296
01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:24.039
<v Speaker 1>because you have trash.

1297
01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Murakami, Yeah, I have. I'm not If he's not gonna

1298
01:16:30.319 --> 01:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>be on my Christmas card list, that's not gonna happen.

1299
01:16:33.039 --> 01:16:35.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with a couple of the younger I'm

1300
01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:38.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with calib Durban possibly moving up.

1301
01:16:39.079 --> 01:16:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh my lord, do you got to explain yourself on

1302
01:16:41.479 --> 01:16:43.359
<v Speaker 1>that one. Oh?

1303
01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:48.399
<v Speaker 2>I think the hit tool combined with the speed and

1304
01:16:49.560 --> 01:16:55.439
<v Speaker 2>ten to twelve home runs decent runs scored. Yeah, I

1305
01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:58.479
<v Speaker 2>you know McGill Vargus could move up into the into

1306
01:16:58.520 --> 01:17:04.119
<v Speaker 2>the top ten if he it's twenty five home runs.

1307
01:17:04.640 --> 01:17:07.199
<v Speaker 2>I got to look at upside players if I'm looking

1308
01:17:07.199 --> 01:17:09.760
<v Speaker 2>at moving into that top ten, And yeah, guys like

1309
01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Durwan Marcella may Or what happens if he gets out

1310
01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:16.039
<v Speaker 2>of the gate strong and plays to his potential? Could

1311
01:17:16.039 --> 01:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>he be a top ten player? Yeah. The guys that

1312
01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:23.560
<v Speaker 2>i'd stay away fromm would be Cavallero, Alex Bohm, Max Muncy.

1313
01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I think they'll be okay players, but I don't see

1314
01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:31.479
<v Speaker 2>them taking that next step per se. I don't think Matt.

1315
01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:34.640
<v Speaker 2>I think Matt Chapman is who he is. Noelvi Marte

1316
01:17:34.760 --> 01:17:36.640
<v Speaker 2>and as in Barger, they could both move into the

1317
01:17:36.680 --> 01:17:41.159
<v Speaker 2>top ten if they hit me on ba Barger it's

1318
01:17:41.159 --> 01:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty five to thirty home runs, which I don't think

1319
01:17:43.640 --> 01:17:46.720
<v Speaker 2>can be ruled out. The problem with Barger is the

1320
01:17:46.720 --> 01:17:47.880
<v Speaker 2>pressure on the batting average.

1321
01:17:49.880 --> 01:17:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

1322
01:17:50.279 --> 01:17:53.359
<v Speaker 2>He likes. He likes a lot just about everything thrown

1323
01:17:53.399 --> 01:17:56.399
<v Speaker 2>at him. So again there's there's risk risk in the

1324
01:17:56.439 --> 01:17:58.279
<v Speaker 2>batting average category with Bargers.

1325
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>So I as, yeah, the guy that's going to come

1326
01:18:04.640 --> 01:18:08.960
<v Speaker 1>into the top ten or come into the fifteen twenty.

1327
01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>The person who's going to that's going to make noises

1328
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:16.279
<v Speaker 1>not on your list yet. I think it's either I

1329
01:18:16.319 --> 01:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>think it's a JJ Weatherholt. I think it's a potential

1330
01:18:19.720 --> 01:18:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Aiden Miller maybe yeah, maybe the Sebastian Walcott. I think

1331
01:18:26.479 --> 01:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>it's something maybe Jet Williams. Mass probably gonna move to

1332
01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the outfield. I think it's one of those guys that

1333
01:18:34.119 --> 01:18:37.720
<v Speaker 1>are going to come in at a different position, take

1334
01:18:37.760 --> 01:18:39.520
<v Speaker 1>over third base and blow up.

1335
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:46.920
<v Speaker 2>No problems with that at all, none whatsoever, because there

1336
01:18:46.960 --> 01:18:48.560
<v Speaker 2>are going to be there are going to be shorts

1337
01:18:48.600 --> 01:18:51.000
<v Speaker 2>top eligible players who are going to find their way

1338
01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to the third base list next year. Definitely, yep.

1339
01:18:55.279 --> 01:18:58.199
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just taking a look at your I mean

1340
01:18:58.239 --> 01:19:02.399
<v Speaker 1>your top ten. I mean it's hard to say any

1341
01:19:02.399 --> 01:19:04.199
<v Speaker 1>of those guys are going to drop outside of you,

1342
01:19:04.319 --> 01:19:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Ino Swarz and Alex Pregnant, But the top of the list.

1343
01:19:07.680 --> 01:19:11.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Ramirez would have to have such an awful

1344
01:19:11.520 --> 01:19:14.920
<v Speaker 1>season to drop out ten, and Junior Kim just not

1345
01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. Maybe Mguel Garcia falls back to earth

1346
01:19:18.399 --> 01:19:21.079
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, but he's still probably is a top

1347
01:19:21.119 --> 01:19:25.079
<v Speaker 1>ten guy. Yeah, I just yeah, I mean I think

1348
01:19:25.119 --> 01:19:27.399
<v Speaker 1>those guys are are pretty much locked in there.

1349
01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Same with Manny Mitrago. He has a bad year and

1350
01:19:31.319 --> 01:19:35.159
<v Speaker 2>he hits twenty five home runs and drives in eighty five,

1351
01:19:36.119 --> 01:19:37.840
<v Speaker 2>He's still going to be a top ten player at

1352
01:19:37.840 --> 01:19:40.680
<v Speaker 2>third base next year. The year after that might change,

1353
01:19:40.720 --> 01:19:41.880
<v Speaker 2>but not next year.

1354
01:19:43.520 --> 01:19:46.279
<v Speaker 1>If Austin Riley has a repeat of twenty twenty five,

1355
01:19:46.359 --> 01:19:50.079
<v Speaker 1>yeah he'll drop out of the top ten. But the

1356
01:19:50.199 --> 01:19:52.439
<v Speaker 1>data says, as long as he's healthy, he's going to

1357
01:19:52.520 --> 01:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>be fine.

1358
01:19:54.119 --> 01:19:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, data says the same thing with Westburg, right, yes, exactly, Yeah,

1359
01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:02.119
<v Speaker 2>so yeah it it would take another season of three

1360
01:20:02.199 --> 01:20:05.239
<v Speaker 2>hundred at bats from both of those guys. Yeah, and

1361
01:20:05.319 --> 01:20:07.239
<v Speaker 2>I agree they could fall into the top ten.

1362
01:20:07.800 --> 01:20:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yep, totally agree. All right, Timmy, give me a sleeper.

1363
01:20:11.039 --> 01:20:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Two US sleeper too. Well, we've already discussed number ten

1364
01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:20.439
<v Speaker 2>at nauseum uh kamoo.

1365
01:20:20.760 --> 01:20:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're right. Again. I'm all in, Timmy, I

1366
01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:26.640
<v Speaker 1>have them. I'm excited, thank you very much.

1367
01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here's you're welcome. Here's five players I like Okamoto

1368
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:35.439
<v Speaker 2>and I put them in my opening narrative, Addison Barger,

1369
01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Vargas, Calub Durban and Marcella Mayor. Hopefully I end

1370
01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:44.479
<v Speaker 2>up with one, possibly two of those players, one from

1371
01:20:44.479 --> 01:20:49.880
<v Speaker 2>my corner infield slot come draft day. Those are the

1372
01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>guys I had. Those are the guys said I'm liking

1373
01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:55.239
<v Speaker 2>because of the upside potential.

1374
01:20:57.159 --> 01:20:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Boy, the one I keep going back to Marcela Mayor,

1375
01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was so bad. I mean I've been

1376
01:21:02.199 --> 01:21:05.479
<v Speaker 1>to Moors a Mayor defender for a while, man, but

1377
01:21:05.520 --> 01:21:08.760
<v Speaker 1>he was so bad last season. I hope you're right.

1378
01:21:09.079 --> 01:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're right.

1379
01:21:11.199 --> 01:21:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, when you look at do I want to take

1380
01:21:14.239 --> 01:21:18.079
<v Speaker 2>a chance Ad Meyer over he's that greatest, Ernie Clement,

1381
01:21:18.279 --> 01:21:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Josh Smith, Connor Norby. Yeah, I do want to take

1382
01:21:24.079 --> 01:21:26.880
<v Speaker 2>that chance. I think the rewards could be such that

1383
01:21:27.159 --> 01:21:28.039
<v Speaker 2>they're worthwhile.

1384
01:21:29.800 --> 01:21:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Time will tell the thing about Mayor, and again he's

1385
01:21:32.319 --> 01:21:35.439
<v Speaker 1>only twenty three. So the thing that Bob I thought

1386
01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:37.880
<v Speaker 1>he'd hit more and he just there was a lot

1387
01:21:37.880 --> 01:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>of chase and a lot of swing and missing his game.

1388
01:21:40.359 --> 01:21:43.920
<v Speaker 1>He walked six percent of the time. I just I

1389
01:21:44.039 --> 01:21:46.039
<v Speaker 1>was disappointed in that. I mean, he hit the ball

1390
01:21:46.079 --> 01:21:50.880
<v Speaker 1>reasonably hard, average sprint speed, but I thought he'd be

1391
01:21:50.920 --> 01:21:52.920
<v Speaker 1>able to control the strike someone better than he did.

1392
01:21:52.960 --> 01:21:56.159
<v Speaker 1>So I'm hoping again. It was only one hundred and

1393
01:21:56.159 --> 01:21:59.439
<v Speaker 1>thirty six plaint appearances, and hopefully it'll be better. And

1394
01:21:59.479 --> 01:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>he he's penciled in to be the starting third basement.

1395
01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:07.439
<v Speaker 2>He's got the job to start the season. It's in

1396
01:22:07.479 --> 01:22:11.840
<v Speaker 2>his hands as far as as the future, and I

1397
01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:15.039
<v Speaker 2>hope and believe he's going to take and prove to

1398
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>be at least an OK type player, one representative of

1399
01:22:19.760 --> 01:22:23.199
<v Speaker 2>the twenty to twenty five group at his position.

1400
01:22:25.479 --> 01:22:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Excellent stuff, mister mcclell. Let's take a let's take our

1401
01:22:27.880 --> 01:22:30.720
<v Speaker 1>final break it back, and let's Tim wrap up third

1402
01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:32.279
<v Speaker 1>base and find out what he's on for dinner.

1403
01:22:33.319 --> 01:22:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a gem.

1404
01:22:43.840 --> 01:22:47.159
<v Speaker 1>I have so many favorite podcasts that we do, one

1405
01:22:47.199 --> 01:22:50.039
<v Speaker 1>of which is not our handle draft, but I know

1406
01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>people like that love our positional drafts. Probably my favorite

1407
01:22:55.560 --> 01:22:59.000
<v Speaker 1>position is outfield. We haven't done that yet, and that'll

1408
01:22:59.039 --> 01:23:01.520
<v Speaker 1>be in a couple of weeks. I love doing the outfield,

1409
01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:05.319
<v Speaker 1>but these are my favorite segments. I always love the

1410
01:23:05.359 --> 01:23:08.640
<v Speaker 1>fantasy questions of the blank division. I always like those,

1411
01:23:09.159 --> 01:23:13.359
<v Speaker 1>but I just I love our breakdown going into the season.

1412
01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:15.800
<v Speaker 1>He does such a good job, and it's it's always

1413
01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:19.199
<v Speaker 1>thought provoking. Your your the rankings are thoughtful. I can

1414
01:23:19.279 --> 01:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>never trip you up on you not have done the research,

1415
01:23:24.920 --> 01:23:27.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I think that's really that says a lot.

1416
01:23:27.199 --> 01:23:29.399
<v Speaker 1>You're not always right, and I've said that a book

1417
01:23:29.680 --> 01:23:30.359
<v Speaker 1>better better be right.

1418
01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:40.279
<v Speaker 2>But but I mean, there's rationale behind the decision making exactly, and.

1419
01:23:40.199 --> 01:23:43.039
<v Speaker 1>That's what that's all people can ask for, is that

1420
01:23:43.079 --> 01:23:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you've got sound reasoning behind your positions on each of

1421
01:23:47.760 --> 01:23:50.279
<v Speaker 1>the different players, and how it turns out is how

1422
01:23:50.319 --> 01:23:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it turns out. And then if you're wrong, then Tim

1423
01:23:52.720 --> 01:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>will rethink his logic and uh do that. But it's

1424
01:23:55.960 --> 01:23:58.760
<v Speaker 1>it's very thoughtful stuff. And I think that's why I

1425
01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:01.239
<v Speaker 1>like these shows so much, because I like to like

1426
01:24:01.279 --> 01:24:04.039
<v Speaker 1>to see how you're thinking and uh and help our

1427
01:24:04.039 --> 01:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>listeners figure that out too.

1428
01:24:06.439 --> 01:24:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and hey, there's nothing wrong with stimulating a good discussion,

1429
01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:11.600
<v Speaker 2>is there? For sure? Absolutely nothing.

1430
01:24:12.039 --> 01:24:13.000
<v Speaker 1>What's what's your find?

1431
01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:14.760
<v Speaker 2>So I I thank you for the I thank you

1432
01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:15.800
<v Speaker 2>for the kind words appreciation.

1433
01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh sure, what's your final commonal third base?

1434
01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Ah? Well, hey, am I going to pass on Junior

1435
01:24:23.439 --> 01:24:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Kaminara or Jose Ramire or Jose Ramirez? I might because

1436
01:24:26.680 --> 01:24:32.239
<v Speaker 2>he's going out early Kamanara. No, I really think that MIKEL.

1437
01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Garcy is going to move it to another another year

1438
01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:39.279
<v Speaker 2>this year, I really do. My position on third base

1439
01:24:39.600 --> 01:24:43.880
<v Speaker 2>is I'm not there's enough players I like later on

1440
01:24:44.439 --> 01:24:49.439
<v Speaker 2>and there's enough players I like more or more players

1441
01:24:49.479 --> 01:24:52.439
<v Speaker 2>that will help me. I believe in my overall team build.

1442
01:24:52.439 --> 01:24:55.920
<v Speaker 2>At other positions, I'm pushing third base down. You got

1443
01:24:55.920 --> 01:24:58.560
<v Speaker 2>to push something down. You can't have it all. That

1444
01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:01.159
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't work. And I I think there's more value

1445
01:25:01.479 --> 01:25:06.479
<v Speaker 2>in a high, high round outfielder than there is in

1446
01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:10.079
<v Speaker 2>the at the third base position. So third base is

1447
01:25:10.079 --> 01:25:12.880
<v Speaker 2>a position that I'm gonna look for, definitely middle ground,

1448
01:25:12.960 --> 01:25:14.760
<v Speaker 2>and I think there's some good options there.

1449
01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's say that one of our listeners, you're playing

1450
01:25:18.560 --> 01:25:19.840
<v Speaker 1>in the league with one of our listeners and he

1451
01:25:19.880 --> 01:25:23.720
<v Speaker 1>sees O Komotive and takes them early, and you find

1452
01:25:23.720 --> 01:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>yourself if you've got my spreadsheet, up. You find yourself

1453
01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:31.119
<v Speaker 1>in the tenth round, Timmy, without a third basement. So

1454
01:25:31.239 --> 01:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>looking in the round column, which player do you go with?

1455
01:25:37.399 --> 01:25:41.640
<v Speaker 2>H What do I go with? Looking at the round column? Oh,

1456
01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Vargas. I'll wait another three four rounds and then

1457
01:25:46.079 --> 01:25:50.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll make a move on Miguel Barb Vargas Orchie calub Durban.

1458
01:25:50.760 --> 01:25:55.399
<v Speaker 2>They're all in the lateeen rounds right now. I can

1459
01:25:55.479 --> 01:25:58.039
<v Speaker 2>live with Alex Bowman the eighteenth round. I think it's

1460
01:25:58.079 --> 01:26:00.640
<v Speaker 2>eighty ninety RBIs there a decent bad average? You's not

1461
01:26:00.640 --> 01:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>going to hurt me. There's plenty of options in that

1462
01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:12.199
<v Speaker 2>range of round fifteen through to twenty two twenty three. Yeah,

1463
01:26:12.479 --> 01:26:14.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm not concerned. I'm going to get somebody that's going

1464
01:26:14.560 --> 01:26:19.359
<v Speaker 2>to provide value. Maybe not o Komodo value, but value.

1465
01:26:19.600 --> 01:26:21.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, Timmy, what's what's for dinner? My friend?

1466
01:26:22.920 --> 01:26:25.680
<v Speaker 2>What's for dinner? Well? I opened up the fridge and

1467
01:26:25.800 --> 01:26:28.640
<v Speaker 2>the old jaw hit the ground because something I've been

1468
01:26:28.680 --> 01:26:31.079
<v Speaker 2>asking for for a long time was sitting in there,

1469
01:26:31.199 --> 01:26:39.079
<v Speaker 2>deep roasting. Jody one our legion. Once a month they

1470
01:26:39.159 --> 01:26:41.680
<v Speaker 2>have what they call a meat draw. It's a raffle, okay,

1471
01:26:42.279 --> 01:26:44.680
<v Speaker 2>and it's basically a fifty to fifty thing. It's a

1472
01:26:44.720 --> 01:26:48.079
<v Speaker 2>fundraiser for them, and the winner gets a box full

1473
01:26:48.119 --> 01:26:51.239
<v Speaker 2>of meat and it's usually good meat. Then the legion

1474
01:26:51.279 --> 01:26:54.079
<v Speaker 2>gets fifty percent of it. And Joey won at last fall,

1475
01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:58.479
<v Speaker 2>and included in that is about a seven pound prime river.

1476
01:27:00.119 --> 01:27:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

1477
01:27:01.520 --> 01:27:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely monstrous. And I saw this thing sitting in the

1478
01:27:05.640 --> 01:27:08.279
<v Speaker 2>in the fridge this morning and I started foaming at

1479
01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the mouth and drooling. Okay, Jody, of course I thought

1480
01:27:11.800 --> 01:27:14.399
<v Speaker 2>it was because you know, she's in the same host

1481
01:27:14.439 --> 01:27:18.680
<v Speaker 2>as me, you know, But anyhow, it was the primera Jody.

1482
01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:26.520
<v Speaker 2>It was that her head. Yeah, I look at look

1483
01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:29.840
<v Speaker 2>and I say, uh, but we're having we're having prime

1484
01:27:31.159 --> 01:27:33.039
<v Speaker 2>so and lots.

1485
01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Of it's a medium rare, I'm.

1486
01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Assuming, right, medium rare. That's it.

1487
01:27:38.079 --> 01:27:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Cooking it in the oven.

1488
01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:42.439
<v Speaker 2>Ah, yes, okay.

1489
01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Awesome, sounds great. I'm jealousy, Yeah, I'm jealous. I haven't

1490
01:27:47.079 --> 01:27:47.439
<v Speaker 1>a while.

1491
01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been a long time for me. I haven't

1492
01:27:50.680 --> 01:27:52.680
<v Speaker 2>had anything that looks like steak in a long time.

1493
01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:55.479
<v Speaker 2>Every time I go through the grocery store, I decide

1494
01:27:55.479 --> 01:27:57.319
<v Speaker 2>whether or not I can sell a kid to get

1495
01:27:57.319 --> 01:27:57.760
<v Speaker 2>a steak.

1496
01:27:57.840 --> 01:28:01.079
<v Speaker 1>And crazy how expensive it is insane.

1497
01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah it is. So what are you doing for

1498
01:28:04.439 --> 01:28:05.199

<v Speaker 1>We have a chicken stuffed chicken breast, so we might

1505
01:28:26.239 --> 01:28:29.640
<v Speaker 1>have that, which is good. Yeah, And I think I

1506
01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:32.840
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of pieces of pizza. We had pizza yesterday,

1507
01:28:32.880 --> 01:28:34.560
<v Speaker 1>so I might I might do that. So it's just

1508
01:28:34.680 --> 01:28:38.239
<v Speaker 1>it's Sundays are always leftovers for us. So right, so

1509
01:28:38.279 --> 01:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what it is for me.

1510
01:28:40.199 --> 01:28:43.960
<v Speaker 2>So well, I just told is feeling better soon?

1511
01:28:44.439 --> 01:28:47.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Me too, me too. I need to we need

1512
01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:48.439
<v Speaker 1>to eat better.

1513
01:28:52.600 --> 01:28:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, well played, Well.

1514
01:28:55.880 --> 01:28:59.439
<v Speaker 1>I got we have a there's a chain grocery store

1515
01:28:59.479 --> 01:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>around and the States called Wegmans, and it's not too

1516
01:29:02.800 --> 01:29:06.800
<v Speaker 1>many different places. It's very very high end food, uh,

1517
01:29:06.880 --> 01:29:12.520
<v Speaker 1>particularly the prepared prepared section. So it's not it's it's

1518
01:29:12.880 --> 01:29:17.039
<v Speaker 1>literally it's they will make a salmon and have it

1519
01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:19.399
<v Speaker 1>already and all you have to do is put it

1520
01:29:19.399 --> 01:29:21.439
<v Speaker 1>in the oven for thirty minutes to give you exact

1521
01:29:21.720 --> 01:29:25.399
<v Speaker 1>cooking instruction. So it's it's like those uh in fact,

1522
01:29:25.479 --> 01:29:28.479
<v Speaker 1>those factor meals. So we we've advertised those on our

1523
01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:31.520
<v Speaker 1>show before, and it's it's it's like you get those

1524
01:29:32.239 --> 01:29:36.439
<v Speaker 1>that are really nice quality and you literally either microwaven

1525
01:29:36.520 --> 01:29:39.439
<v Speaker 1>or turn the oven on. And so I usually go

1526
01:29:39.520 --> 01:29:42.560
<v Speaker 1>there and fill phil when I when I have responsible

1527
01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>and fill it up. Unfortunately, we've eaten them all, so.

1528
01:29:46.159 --> 01:29:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, how can you go wrong? You pay in extra

1529
01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:51.520
<v Speaker 2>ten bucks, you get guaranteed success, and you don't have

1530
01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:54.439
<v Speaker 2>four feet of dishes to weed through in the kitchen.

1531
01:29:54.640 --> 01:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>It sounds perfect to me.

1532
01:29:56.319 --> 01:29:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's it's yeah, you do premium, but I

1533
01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:02.000
<v Speaker 1>mean i mean like like they have this vegetable tray

1534
01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:05.159
<v Speaker 1>of food. It's it's like it's an individual maybe two

1535
01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:07.720
<v Speaker 1>can eat it and it's delicious. I mean it costs

1536
01:30:07.720 --> 01:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>six bucks. I mean I'm like, I'm gonna everything's like

1537
01:30:11.279 --> 01:30:13.800
<v Speaker 1>shredded and cut up, and I'm not going to do that.

1538
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, yeah, you're taking a chance on losing a

1539
01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:19.000
<v Speaker 2>finger for six.

1540
01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:22.039
<v Speaker 1>Bucks, So I go get it six bucks. Butt in

1541
01:30:22.119 --> 01:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the oven.

1542
01:30:24.319 --> 01:30:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Done exactly. Good choice, good choice, yeah.

1545
01:30:33.159 --> 01:30:37.399

1546
01:30:37.399 --> 01:30:40.960
