1
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,359
Speaker 1: Greenish changes everyone to Trick Wilson looking the Fantasy Baseball

2
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:27,079
Live is our Take ten with Tim. It is Friday

3
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,559
these July the tenth, except it is not a Take

4
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,879
ten with Tim. It is a Take ten with Rich

5
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,479
today because Tim and I are going to be talking

6
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,079
about my Top five hundred that just dropped yesterday, the

7
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,520
Top five hundred Prospects and Baseball actually four ninety nine.

8
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,359
Tim and I had one duplicated, so I had to

9
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:47,560
do a quick little flipper roo. But we're back up

10
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,600
to five hundred, so it is done, my friend, So

11
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,200
I'm looking forward to the discussion.

12
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, as am I I was just simply flat out

13
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:04,760
were whelmed. Okay when I saw that list, and yeah,

14
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:07,280
it's not take ten, it's take five hundred with Rich.

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,680
We're not going through all of them, but that sort

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,959
of boy was it absolutely amazes me when I see

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,599
the amount of work that has to go into this project. Rich,

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,480
it's like I said, overwhelming, It really is.

19
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: It felt overwhelming to do it this time, because I

20
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:28,000
think I shared last time we spoke, I had typically

21
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:31,560
the first cut of my five hundred, usually about first

22
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:34,760
first of June, and I was about to do it

23
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:38,239
I had maybe two hundred two hundred and ten kind

24
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,439
of profiles written up, and as I did last year,

25
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,840
the first hundred to one hundred and fifty were pretty good.

26
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,359
I felt good about that, and then it just became floaters, guys.

27
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:50,840
I had a chance to take a look at and

28
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:54,640
I the bottom two fifty was just suspect, and I

29
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,560
just wasn't happy with that. As we you and I talked,

30
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:01,359
I knew what was required, I was unwilling to do it,

31
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,200
and then I just finally said, I have to do

32
00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:07,519
this because that's my job. So so I got my

33
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,919
big boy pants up, I rolled up my sleeves, and

34
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,879
there you go. I dug into it and I did

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,400
probably in a process that takes me four months at

36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,479
the fall, I did it in two weeks. Again, it

37
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,960
was it was probably sixty to seventy percent of the work,

38
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,479
but that was a lot for two weeks. And as

39
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,280
I was telling ten last night, I could not have

40
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,120
done it without kind of systems in place, the AI

41
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,000
assistant helping me to edit things and you know, put

42
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,759
it into grammatically oriented forms, you know, all the write

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,599
ups and things like that, and it's you know, I

44
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:48,919
learned in my long career as a technologist. Once you

45
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,919
have a technology in place, then you can start to

46
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,759
really pump out lots of volume of stuff. And it

47
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,159
proved it. I was able to crank out a lot

48
00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:58,759
of stuff in two weeks.

49
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,759
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you've got five hundred players that you've profiled,

50
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,800
and each and every single one of them, if I'm

51
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,560
not mistake, and it has an ARETI yeah, it's only one.

52
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,400
It's a he know, it's only a short area for

53
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:15,199
the most part, it's you know, but it's one sentence

54
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,439
describes what's going on.

55
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: Oh if my friend, my friend, yes, my friend, Yes.

56
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,240
Three and fifty to three hundred and seventy five of

57
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,800
those have full two hundred to three hundred world write

58
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,280
ups behind them. So behind them. Yeah, so that's the

59
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,400
other one hundred and you know whatever, five hundred minus

60
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,039
three fifty, one fifty or just short arrais a lot

61
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,400
of those are guys that were hurt. I mean, what

62
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,080
what am I going to write about Sebastian Walcott. He's

63
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,159
been hurt the entire season, So I just write he's hurt.

64
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: Go back hurt. Yeah, look at last year.

65
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

66
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:53,199
Speaker 2: So yeah, so I I lost year I touched.

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: Well, apparently it's coming back in a couple of weeks.

68
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,800
That's what's interesting. If you write, bring my little, my

69
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,039
little narrative in there, yes so, but so that's that's

70
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:02,879
how it works. So if you figure there was only

71
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,280
about one hundred narratives I did not write, and all

72
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,840
of our Patreon members have seen those write ups, you know,

73
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:12,159
at one point or another, updated all of them, and

74
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:14,599
they'll be coming out in the next few weeks as

75
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:16,879
I write about more players. But it was it was

76
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,120
once you get it, get going, I mean, you just

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,160
it's more of a you just have to throw yourself

78
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:25,480
into it and just get it done. I mean that's

79
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,639
just the bottom line. Get it done.

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I got to tell you the first thing

81
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:34,560
that leapt out at me. Okay, because again I've I've

82
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,439
got the full Gride sitting in front of me, and

83
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:40,360
it's very pretty and hey, nothing like a good highlighter

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,199
to make a guy's date. Okay, but the first but

85
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,160
the first thing I look for, Okay, yeah, you get

86
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,480
your ranks one, two, three, five, six, seven, eight, yea, yeah, yeah, yeah,

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,319
on it goes. But the thing that I want to

88
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,199
look at first, and I would imagine a lot of

89
00:04:57,199 --> 00:04:59,959
our listeners are cut from that same sort of claw

90
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:06,360
is the up down in the February rank. And the

91
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:09,839
first thing that leapt out at me in a massively

92
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:19,160
huge way was that, Uh, comparing February today, I think

93
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,360
there might be ten, eight to ten players that were

94
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,040
top twenty five in February. They've all disappeared.

95
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: See there you go. You know it's fifty three guys.

96
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:35,879
There's fifty three guys that have graduated off of this list.

97
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,360
Fifty three, so ten percent graduated off off the list.

98
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:40,879
Speaker 2: Uh.

99
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,439
Speaker 1: And then if you do it in order in three months,

100
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,639
In three months, one two, three, four, five five, top

101
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,839
ten guys, what do you want? Top hundred guys are

102
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:01,399
twelve fifteen, one two, three, four, five, twenty five top

103
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,199
hundred guys. So a quarter of the top one hundred

104
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,680
guys have have graduated off of this list, which is

105
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:09,319
kind of one of the thing if I can expand

106
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:10,680
upon that a little bit.

107
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:12,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I wanted to lead into this and

108
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,079
just turn it over to you and let you fire away.

109
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,879
I know. The one thing that's said to me right

110
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,480
away is, yeah, the game's getting younger, right.

111
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: It's getting younger, and it made this process pretty challenging

112
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:29,959
because quite frankly, there are guys in this top one hundred,

113
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,800
if you will not to mention Top five hundred, that

114
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:35,279
you know, you look at and you have to wrap

115
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:37,800
your brain around going, that's not really a top one

116
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:41,240
hundred guy. That's like a top one fifty kind of guy.

117
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:45,800
But yet it's so shallow that the guys have kind

118
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,879
of moved up, and I think we need to have

119
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,160
that in context. Now. In four days, that's all going

120
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,480
to change because we're finally going to have new blood

121
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,480
coming in through the draft that happens over the weekend,

122
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,279
and then quite frankly, we are desperate for some new

123
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,600
blood to me because it has gotten thin and it

124
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,920
has gotten terribly young. There are some seventeen year olds

125
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,560
in the top one hundred, and I just, you know,

126
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,480
you just don't do that because there's so much volatility

127
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:15,439
in those guys. But it's just the way it's just

128
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:19,240
the way it's happening. The yeah, it's getting it's getting younger.

129
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,439
Those guys are getting promoted and graduated, and you know,

130
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,360
now you've got seventeen eighteen year old guys littered through

131
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,240
your top one hundred.

132
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, Seth seth ornand is at number eight.

133
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,040
A prime example, he moved up sixty s bucks. Theo

134
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,959
Gillen moved up thirty one slots in three months, Ryan

135
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:42,399
Sloan forty one, Eli Will it's fifty one. You know

136
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:49,199
your top one hundred. You know Anthony I Aansen with Boston,

137
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,759
He's moved up seventy seventy five slots, sixty nine slots

138
00:07:52,759 --> 00:08:00,399
for Sirota. Like, we're seeing people moving up this list

139
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,040
at an incredible pace, aren't we. What would it be

140
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,560
common to see a guy like Kendrick Churio two years

141
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,519
ago to be ranked top thirty five and move up

142
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,360
one hundred and forty three slots. It just it seems

143
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:19,199
wild to me when I start looking at the number

144
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,800
of young players that are just exploding onto the scene.

145
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because a lot of guys that you mentioned,

146
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,920
if I'm very curious, right, Seth Hernandez, As you recall

147
00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:34,559
back in the spring, he was my fourth ranked guy

148
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,440
for the first year player draft, and I panicked, Timmy,

149
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,200
I just said, I can't have a high school picture

150
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,559
going that early. I mean I had to go before Ami.

151
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,399
I mean I can't do that, so I dropped him

152
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:48,879
at the last minute. Turned out to be a mistake.

153
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,039
So this is that's really correction. Maybe he should have

154
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,639
been twenty he moved up to seven. That was a

155
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,360
I was not balled into Eli Willitts. I was thinking

156
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,559
he'd be more like a spaf of guy's a lot

157
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,320
stronger than his father. So that's a bit of a

158
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,759
correction of a guy that probably should have been higher.

159
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,120
Ryan Sloan is a monster. I mean, I've got him

160
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:13,000
higher than Kate Anderson just by one slot. But that

161
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,039
guy's has got top of the rotation stuff. He hasn't

162
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,960
had as good a control, so the forty one is

163
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,480
probably legitimate and he's really improved that much. Well, I

164
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,320
forgot the other guy that you mentioned as well, Oh oh,

165
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:27,519
the right handed from Boston up seventy five. I had

166
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,879
him as a top one hundred guy, but he just

167
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,919
exploded onto the scene. So it's kind of a combination

168
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,879
of guys that I maybe had ranked wrong coming into

169
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,240
the season, just should have been more bullish and not.

170
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,399
And then some guys that have just blown up. I

171
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,240
think guys that have just moved up because others have

172
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,639
moved out well.

173
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a few. There's a few that have

174
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,519
headed in the opposite direction as well.

175
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: Oh, a lot of those guys. I'm also going to

176
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,639
point you to number twenty eight, Mike Sarota. Mike's has

177
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,399
got on base seventy two games in a row. One

178
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,759
more game and he will tie the minor league record

179
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,279
Minor league record for getting on base in a row.

180
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,159
So that's the kind of season he is having. Yet again,

181
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,399
another Dodgers outfielder. And look at this, there are three

182
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:23,559
Dodgers outfielder if I'm not mistaken in the top twenty five. Well,

183
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,480
I think Serota might be twenty eight. That's crazy, by

184
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:26,960
the right.

185
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that is totally Yeah, there might even before

186
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,120
you got Hope. Is there another Dodger ahead of Hope,

187
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,799
I again, yeah.

188
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,639
Speaker 1: Jose Depoula. So it's Hosey, Apollo, Zire Hope, and Sioder

189
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,159
to the three top outfielders, and Dabbling is not that

190
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:48,879
far behind.

191
00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:57,759
Speaker 2: So yeah, and that's insane in any other organization. Some

192
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,279
of those guys that already be up ye to.

193
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: Paul Is at three, Zire Hope's at twenty, at Duardo

194
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,039
Quintero's at twenty four, not had as good of a season.

195
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:11,519
Sarrodo's at twenty eight, Charles Davelin's at thirty seven, James

196
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,799
Tibbs at forty two. They're all outfielders, all top fifty

197
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,559
guys from one organization.

198
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: That's just the guy's a strong oatfield already.

199
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: That's right. So my question to you is, because I

200
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:28,200
actually wrote about one of them that I think it

201
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,159
was Ay your Hope, Like, he seems like the most

202
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,679
logical guy to move. He's the most explosive, but he's

203
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,639
also the most volatile. I mean, they got to move

204
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,279
some of these guys, at least one of these guys,

205
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,320
to bring in some help here at the deadline, to

206
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,840
bring in a trek school ble. I mean, which one

207
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,919
of these guys goes? In your opinion? What do you think?

208
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: I like the Hope call because of the potential upside. Okay,

209
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,440
it's off the charts. They're not gonna move. They're not

210
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,679
gonna move to Paula. Uh I could I could see

211
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:05,879
Hope or TIBs as being auctions.

212
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, can you can you make Mike Saroto seven? I

213
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,159
mean that kind of on base skill, he might Yeah,

214
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,919
you get twenty eight. I mean that I was got

215
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,120
serious stuff.

216
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you give up on that? I don't.

217
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,440
The Dodgers. Yeah, the Dodgers don't anyway, you know what

218
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:27,080
I mean, They'll move some of those oatfielders. But if

219
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,279
I had to bet, I would say TIBs and Hope.

220
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and again. The fantasy standpoint. Fantasy standpoint, Hope,

221
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:36,799
Hope has got the highest upside. But if you're the

222
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:40,200
Dodger and you're Dodgers and you're looking at he still

223
00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:43,919
might hit two forty to fifty because his all of

224
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,279
those guys, his hit tool is the most underdeveloped. That

225
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,159
seems the most logical guy to move, even though you

226
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,600
look at him and go, oh my gosh, that's the

227
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,279
best fantasy player. Maybe not for the Dodgers. Maybe they

228
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:58,240
don't care. And Tibbs is is just a they got

229
00:12:58,279 --> 00:12:59,240
him for Dustin May.

230
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:07,159
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, exactly. Whatever they they flipped TIBs for,

231
00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:10,240
it has to be a plus, you know what I mean.

232
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:13,200
It's gotta be right when you look at the cost

233
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,200
of acquisition. It was, yeah, Justin May, who they'd given

234
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,879
up on because of the health issues. Yeah.

235
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, by the way, when he went to Boston,

236
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,919
he was terrible. Yeah, so's he's recovered a little bit.

237
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,720
He's shown flashes here this year, but being the guy

238
00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:32,039
in the PA, but I mean he's still's got a

239
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:34,399
four to eighty ear a or something like that. It's

240
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:36,919
not that good. And they got James Tibbs, who was

241
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,480
you know, moved a couple of times and all of

242
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,440
a sudden goes to the Dodgers. Hey, put your hands

243
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,840
this way, do a little bit of that. Here's our

244
00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:49,679
analytics department and yeah, top top fifty prospect.

245
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, from judge to stud pretty quick, I would say, right.

246
00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. So it's I mean, the Dodgers are amazing.

247
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,840
But yeah, we've talked about this a little bit last

248
00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:05,799
week that and I did some analysis here. There are

249
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,240
twenty out of the top five hundred. There are twenty

250
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,919
eight players from the Milwaukee Brewers, there are twenty two

251
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,519
players from the Dodgers. And then there's a team I'm

252
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:21,480
gonna let you guess that has twenty six players in

253
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,639
the top five hundred. What is that missing team?

254
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm just trying to cheat here and scan quickly

255
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:37,960
through the list. I have no idea how the Washington.

256
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals, Washington Nationals have been developing players extremely well.

257
00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:47,639
And that was that was a real uha moment for

258
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:50,679
me because I was I was because I did them

259
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:52,919
in alphabetic order, and I did the bottoms upperproach. I

260
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,360
got to the Nationals, I'm like, I was tired, and

261
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,360
I'm like, oh my gosh, look at these just kept coming.

262
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,840
And it's like and then when I in my ranking,

263
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,399
so they've got so that accounts for sixteen to seventeen

264
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,759
percent of all the top five hundred from three teams.

265
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,159
It accounted for twenty five percent of the top one

266
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,559
hundred coming from.

267
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: That speak volumes. Eh, wow, that is crazy.

268
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,159
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure what the make of that, but

269
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,679
it does look like things have gotten a little out

270
00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:23,360
of balance. There are just you know, they're dying. We

271
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,600
talk about, you know, the haves and have nots in

272
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,960
Major League Baseball sort of be a little bit of

273
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,200
have and have nots in the minor leagues as well well.

274
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: And you know why, when you look at the arguments

275
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:41,360
that the players versus owners are going into right now

276
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:46,600
as far as the new CBA, maybe some of the

277
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,159
teams at the bottom of the list should do less

278
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,399
complaining and do more of the leg work required to

279
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:01,080
actually improve their systems. Okay, because the Brewers are going

280
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,480
to feed off their minor league players for the next

281
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:07,200
ten years, aren't they just the current crop? And we

282
00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:09,799
got a draft coming up this weekend. They're going to

283
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,519
better their situation, as are the Dodgers. Right.

284
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: I think the Brewers and the Dodgers in particular, are

285
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,559
playing a different ball game than everybody else. I mean, look,

286
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:23,679
you have. The thing that's amazing about the Dodgers is

287
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,080
they don't have to play the player development game because

288
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,440
they can just spend more than anybody. But the fact

289
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,559
that they do that is it gives them a tremendous

290
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,559
backstop because if they guess wrong on paying a guy

291
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:38,159
to big salary, that's okay, They'll just make up for

292
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,679
it at the trade deadline and here, who do you want,

293
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:44,720
I'll take your best guy. It's an amazing kind of

294
00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:49,799
backs up. The Brewers, being that the least profitable or

295
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:53,759
revenue generating team in baseball, have had to go to

296
00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:55,799
this approach and guess what it's working.

297
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you know, you tell you a look at

298
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,600
the Dodgers, okay, and you say, well, yeah, they gave

299
00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:05,480
up your Dan Alvarez. That did not hurt per se

300
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:08,400
the Dodgers, they'd be better with your Dan Alvarez. But

301
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,880
you take a team like the Minnesota Twins, if they

302
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,200
give up on your Dan Alvarez, that's a big deal,

303
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:13,640
isn't it.

304
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And and the you know, they didn't give up relatively,

305
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,359
they didn't give up. They made they made a mistake, right,

306
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,359
I mean that they they did. He was he was

307
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,920
He was a eighteen seventeen year old, big hulking kid

308
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,559
in the minor leagues. And that was back when Jeff

309
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,680
Luno was the King of the Pile, and he scouted

310
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,359
him and he knew what the potential was. And they

311
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:38,640
basically they ripped them off. I mean, it's enough, no

312
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,920
other way to say it. They they took advantage of

313
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,400
the Dodgers not knowing the player that they.

314
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: Had right exactly. But again, for a team like the Dodgers,

315
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,559
I guess what I was trying to get to. The

316
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:53,000
Dodgers can make mistakes like that. They can have they

317
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,680
can have those bad moments. And they got seven flipping outfielders,

318
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,519
you know, in the top hundred. They can do it.

319
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:04,680
Other teams can't. They can't make those mistakes or they

320
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,480
don't want to and can't a combination of both. But

321
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:12,000
getting back to the overall concept, when you looked at

322
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:18,079
how have you changed your philosophies at all in the

323
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,880
first half of the Traditionally you've been heavier on bats

324
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,160
later on pitching. And we all know why. You explained

325
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,640
of any times have you are you still adopt adapting

326
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:35,400
to that sort of philosophy on your just your pure rankings,

327
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,000
rich like, where are you at as far as as

328
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:42,000
far as the process is concerned.

329
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still prefer bats. I mean there's just less

330
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,440
volatility on that. So you know, all things, all things equal,

331
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,599
I am going to take a bat over over an

332
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,440
arm every time. I mean, it can't be. Because we're

333
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,240
a little lighter here with you know, top prospects. More

334
00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:10,400
pictures have have filtered into the top one hundred, and

335
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,519
in fact, I have fancy little calculations. Let me get

336
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:17,000
over to make it over to the list for our

337
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,400
Patreon members. You can go to the summary page and

338
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,839
you can type in you know, one hundred, put in

339
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,119
one hundred as your thing, and it tells you that

340
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:31,319
there are twenty percent pictures eighty percent hitters. That's in

341
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,039
the top hundred, in the top five hundred, there are

342
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:40,000
thirty three percent pictures, so third pictures too there, So

343
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:43,160
that's how it kind of goes the breakdown of that.

344
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: So well, you know, it makes total sense that pitching

345
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:51,440
would be increasing on your list simply because of the

346
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,880
attrition factor. Pictures at the big league level are getting hurt. Okay,

347
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,440
teams are going to the minors and calling up pictures earlier,

348
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:03,000
and they probably would like to. But you got to

349
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:06,680
have arms somewhere, right, so where you know that backfill

350
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,680
has got to come from their prospects, right, so they

351
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:11,200
got to be moving. They're moving quicker, much quicker.

352
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again it could yeah, it is, and it

353
00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:18,759
could be just a long held belief I have that

354
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:21,799
that hitters are less volatile and therefore we should rank

355
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,240
them higher. But you know, dynasty leagues and fantasy leagues

356
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:29,559
is all about pitching. So I mean, so maybe maybe

357
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:31,240
you should have pictures out there. But you know what,

358
00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:35,680
I think pitchers develop a lot later than hitters. And

359
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,799
there are there are the David Sandlin's of the world. Yeah,

360
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:41,319
I know he's not been good the last few times

361
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,039
out but those guys blow up and double and triple

362
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,599
a where they finally get learn how to locate their

363
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,440
pitches better. They you know, they get better secondary pitches

364
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,720
and all of a sudden they go from a guy

365
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:57,119
that can't throw strikes and platoon splits to whoa, what's

366
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,480
happening here? And those are the kind of guys you

367
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:02,400
can get late. It's hard to sit there and say, well,

368
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,519
that's a top twenty five guy, because why would you

369
00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:07,160
put a top twenty five guy and he's got a

370
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,599
six ear a. You know that's not hard to do.

371
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the raw skills might be saying something different

372
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:16,400
from worth that sixty year a. He could be pitching

373
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,200
a renala.

374
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: Well that's true, but but you know, and if people

375
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,400
read the narrative, I mean, hopefully that's there if I

376
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,359
may a mote for a few minutes. One of the

377
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,839
problems about this list nobody reads the narrative. I mean,

378
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,319
some people read the comments, but few people dig in

379
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,960
to get, you know, the detail of the particular player.

380
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,319
But if you read my write up, I mean it

381
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,359
tells you, like what the event, what the positives of

382
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,079
this guy is, and what he needs to work on.

383
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,960
And I go into gory details, particularly on pictures. What

384
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,319
you know, they got platoon splits, or they don't have

385
00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:52,400
platoon splits, they got control proms. He's athletic enough to

386
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,680
turn that into control. Or I think this guy's going

387
00:21:54,759 --> 00:21:56,519
to work in the bull and it's all sitting in there.

388
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,200
I might be wrong, but it's all sitting in there.

389
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,680
But few people, well they don't go. They don't do

390
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,960
that detail. They go. The guy's rank forty five, it

391
00:22:04,039 --> 00:22:06,680
must be pretty good. All right, Okay, thank you.

392
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:12,319
Speaker 2: See what where I try to feast on your list?

393
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,200
Rich is not the top one hundred for the most part.

394
00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:17,519
It's interesting you see who's up, down whatever. A lot

395
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:20,480
of those names are common, some aren't. Where I like

396
00:22:20,599 --> 00:22:23,720
to try and feast on this list is looking down

397
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:27,519
from say one hundred to two hundred and fifty and

398
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:34,880
finding the guys that have improved new pitches control pick one,

399
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,599
but they're closer to the big leagues, and odds are

400
00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:40,759
pretty good. A lot of those pictures are going to

401
00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:44,119
be available, So that's that's sort of my target area

402
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,359
is looking at those pictures from high to double A,

403
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,720
moving up the rankings. Pictures I can get for next

404
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:57,079
to nothing, right now, Okay, that could move up another

405
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,480
sixty spots and then in the next three months, okay

406
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:04,279
and try. And that's how I approach it. Anyways, each

407
00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:08,079
to their own. Everybody's got but you need pitching, and

408
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,359
you're not going to get any of the top top

409
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,119
five ten guys because they're all rostered. You got to

410
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,079
focus on something that's reasonable and something that's attainable. So

411
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:20,799
that's how I approach it. Yeah, I meant, how do

412
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:23,039
you about you? How do you approach pitching in the

413
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,440
Dynasty League looking at a list like this of ranked

414
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:31,079
players where well, I could tell me where are you going?

415
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: So you I mean, you can count on us on

416
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,839
one hand how many DSL and Complex pitchers I have

417
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:43,799
ever ranked on a top five HUNDERD. I mean, I

418
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,440
just don't. I don't spend any time with it. Therefore

419
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:52,400
I miss countries the kid from Kansas City. So and

420
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:55,480
just because I wasn't following him, he went from the

421
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:58,640
DSL to the Complex the low Way last season. First

422
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,160
of all, you never see that guy. You never see

423
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,799
you never see that, right, And he just snuck up

424
00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:09,000
on me and by the time I recognize him in

425
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:10,839
low A, he said, oh, there's an interesting guy. He

426
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,279
was already gone to Dynasty leagues because others were on

427
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,640
it a little clicker. But I'm not going to waste

428
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,079
my time on a seventeen year old kid in the

429
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,119
DSL because it doesn't matter if they're throwing one hundred

430
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,079
miles an hour or whatever they're doing. The likelihood of

431
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,680
them getting through the process is extremely low. So I

432
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:34,359
start to look at them quite frankly, when they're if

433
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,960
they're starting to have some success in low way maybe,

434
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:39,359
but it's not really until high A where they start

435
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,640
to have success. And people are our Patreon members know,

436
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,279
I mean, it's mostly High A and up. I focus

437
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,240
on pictures and those are that's where I fish out of.

438
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:52,440
And it's I have no trouble to me fishing in

439
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,519
that pond because they're readily available on waiver wires.

440
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,799
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and it's it's much like I'll go through

441
00:24:59,839 --> 00:25:01,720
so time in the next week or so the All

442
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:04,279
Star break next week, I'll go through and I'll look

443
00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:07,440
at those pictures from one hundred. As you know, I

444
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:10,119
mentioned to you know, for John to do, look at

445
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,599
the pictures between one and three hundred, one and four

446
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,359
hundred and just find who's at double A because odds

447
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,400
are pretty good that we might see them in the

448
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,880
second half. So if I'm looking at spec pitching, it's

449
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,279
a guy's at Double A that are still available. They

450
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,640
don't have the upside, no, but especially in regraft leagues,

451
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,000
you can find yourself some gems. Yeah, at least I

452
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:36,960
believe you can't sure to me.

453
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,319
Speaker 1: And again, I do this for a living. I'm very

454
00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:44,359
proud of what we've created at the Patreon site. People

455
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,599
need to join us at the Patreon site because just

456
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,920
like with you with the waiver wire, you pictures come

457
00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:57,039
in with new pitches, they're bigger, they're stronger, et cetera.

458
00:25:57,519 --> 00:25:59,799
That's they blow up in the first month, and that's

459
00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:03,119
when you grab him. Carson mill brand is a perfect example.

460
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,680
I mean, it's a guy that walked five for nine

461
00:26:06,759 --> 00:26:09,920
last season and it did okay, but he comes into

462
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,839
Double A shoving it and looks like a completely different picture.

463
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,920
Carson mill Brandt is with the Miami Marlins. Now he's

464
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,680
in Triple A, quite frankly, sitting right on the precipice

465
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,799
of being caught up. Now again, he's having a little

466
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:25,200
trouble in Triple A. But that's to be expecting still

467
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,200
a young kid. But that's a guy who booked this season,

468
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:32,480
and you could have grabbed him. Our patrion members could

469
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,039
have grabbed him like I did in the first weeks

470
00:26:35,079 --> 00:26:37,480
of April. That's when you find these guys.

471
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and in a situation where White has a

472
00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:45,240
questionable history, we're obviously knowing and we're not going to

473
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,359
see him really until twenty twenty eight. All of a sudden,

474
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:55,200
these kids are We're going to see some of those

475
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:58,480
kids simply because of attrition.

476
00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: Right, Jonathan Santucci, You'll like him because he's an Italian guy.

477
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,240
He likes saying there's Italian names. Left handed pitcher, left

478
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:11,400
handed pitchure bets I saw last week and I'm just impressive, right,

479
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,599
And he moved up from three point fifty nine to

480
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,480
one thirty. And again, those guys are all coming up

481
00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:20,279
in the first couple of months of the year. You

482
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,799
typically don't see a guy, any any pitcher or hitter

483
00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:28,359
breaking out in July and August. It just doesn't happen, right,

484
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,160
I mean, they're they're somewhat playing out the string at

485
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,480
that point. They're getting tired, a lot of them are

486
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:37,759
getting hurt and they're the teams are working on stuff,

487
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:40,079
but it's really in the off season where stuff gets

488
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,079
worked on, where guys hit the weight room, et cetera,

489
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,480
and they come in a different player.

490
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,079
Speaker 2: Cool. Well, with all of that in mind, I want

491
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,000
to thank you for the for the general overview. Do

492
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,119
you want to go through, say the top ten, top

493
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,359
fifteen and take a look at them individually and then

494
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,279
do some bouncing around then maybe subcussions. What how do

495
00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:07,160
you want to approach this.

496
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to take them, take a take a break

497
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,200
right now, and then come back and let's let's go

498
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:24,799
to the top ten again. You can get off five

499
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,880
hundred of these prospects at Prospect three sixty one. Excuse me,

500
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,119
the patrons ie pat r o n dot com for

501
00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:34,200
Sled Prospect through sixty one. I think yesterday we had

502
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,519
about twenty new members joined. So so it people do

503
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,839
see the stuff and they jump on, which is pretty cool, right,

504
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,880
So I encourage you to jump out and join us.

505
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,119
Speaker 2: There.

506
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: You get Tim on the Discord site and Tim's grab

507
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,000
some questions from there, and that's where we spend most

508
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,480
of our time and energy kind of squirreling around there.

509
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,640
But Tim, we can go to tell you it's your

510
00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:58,079
it's your show, Timmy, which is very mater.

511
00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: But we can do that, and I thank you. I

512
00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:06,359
it may be dangerous, but until I get control of

513
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,880
that zero point zero, but you have never seen dangerous

514
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,279
at number one? Wow, what can you say? I think

515
00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:20,359
he's gonna Do you have any thoughts about did you

516
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,200
have any thoughts about maybe moving Franklin areas ahead him?

517
00:29:24,319 --> 00:29:25,759
Or is it a clear number one?

518
00:29:27,119 --> 00:29:31,599
Speaker 1: Look's not had a great season. I mean it's been good,

519
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,799
but it's he's It's still more about potential with him.

520
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,240
But I've seen him play live a couple of times,

521
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,440
and I mean, just look at him and he goes,

522
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,240
Oh my gosh, this guy's gonna he's gonna be good.

523
00:29:43,559 --> 00:29:47,759
The power hasn't showed up yet, but that's been the

524
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,480
physicality of the guy. He just needs to get stronger.

525
00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:52,160
He's a baby. He's nineteen years old.

526
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,519
Speaker 2: Double double A and succeed, Yeah, succeed.

527
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: And he's again he's not having the Jacksonurion double A

528
00:30:01,079 --> 00:30:03,319
season they have, But I think he's a better hitter

529
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,440
than Jackson Churio and he's gonna have massive power. He's

530
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,359
got good speed. Now I think it fades every time.

531
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,000
I will be shocked if hayesus my day is not

532
00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:14,559
an All Star.

533
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Number two we have Franklin Derives.

534
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: Saw him in Double A twice. Now I have no

535
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,319
idea why he's still in Double A. Two guys this year,

536
00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:31,119
and I've gone to a ton of games, as you know,

537
00:30:31,799 --> 00:30:34,519
the two guys that had the best at bats where

538
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:38,960
Franklin Arise and Ike Irish. They look like major league

539
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:42,480
hitters where they shorten up when there's two strikes, they

540
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:44,480
go the other way when the balls pitched on the

541
00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:46,519
outside of the plate. Use them when you go to

542
00:30:46,599 --> 00:30:49,400
minor league games, Timmy, I mean the guys are closing

543
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,079
their eyes and swinging as hard as they can. I

544
00:30:51,119 --> 00:30:54,039
mean there's particularly the lower levels of the minor leagues.

545
00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:55,279
I mean, this is the way it is.

546
00:30:56,279 --> 00:30:58,799
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's a big sign up there, gone vision

547
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,599
right exactly. Yeah, I mean.

548
00:31:02,359 --> 00:31:05,359
Speaker 1: I'm being dramatic here, but I mean it's it's rare

549
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,799
that you see a guy that, Wow, that looks like

550
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:10,000
that looks like what you see in the major league

551
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:12,920
level with good players and frank and we've been waiting

552
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,920
for Franklin Rise much like we just talked about with

553
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,440
Hazus my day. Where's the power? Where's the power? Kept

554
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,279
telling everybody there's going to be power there, and I

555
00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:23,920
look stupid. H And also this year seventeen home runs,

556
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,240
so he's on pace for twenty five thirty. Again, I

557
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,200
don't think twenty five to thirty is going to be

558
00:31:29,519 --> 00:31:31,599
his number. But if he's going to be a twenty

559
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,480
home run ten stolen based guy that could hit three hundred,

560
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,160
it's a great He's going to be a great player.

561
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,079
Why he's still in double A is beyond me. I

562
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:40,519
don't know.

563
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's some sort of organizational decision.

564
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:46,759
Speaker 1: It's not.

565
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: It's not based on pure raw talent.

566
00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: Is this decision dysfunction? To Mateo tomorrow?

567
00:31:53,119 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: Here well plaid, well played? Yeah, rimshot time at number three?

568
00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:06,000
We got im Ryan pronounce it right, Haws you Japaula.

569
00:32:06,839 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: I think it's Osway to Paula. But if you want

570
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,519
to say, how's you? I mean there's a lot of

571
00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:14,079
guys the first name of j O s U I

572
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,440
s U E, and they always say Hasway. But look,

573
00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:20,079
this is a guy that can hit with big power.

574
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,519
He's the Dodger. I mean, look, if you want to

575
00:32:23,559 --> 00:32:25,799
put Zayer Hope in front of from a fantasy standpoint,

576
00:32:25,839 --> 00:32:29,519
because he's got more speed. Okay, but the Paula has

577
00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:32,599
got close to twenty stolen bases a lot. With Miday,

578
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,559
it's going to be power and batting average. They're young,

579
00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:39,599
they're athletic, so they can run. But eventually he's going

580
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,400
to slow down. Don't think Zayer Hope's going to slow

581
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,279
down any of that. Guy's always going to have speed.

582
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:46,119
Does he hit enough? Man, I don't know, but the

583
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,200
going to hit.

584
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:54,359
Speaker 2: Okay. At number four, we have Max Clerk uh uh

585
00:32:55,319 --> 00:32:59,880
down one spot. It seems like a disappointing season for Clerk,

586
00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:03,440
But when you really take a deep look, I think

587
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:11,519
maybe it's not as disappointing as it as it actually is.

588
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,759
You know what I mean? It just kids, got a

589
00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:15,920
pile of skills and he's young.

590
00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:20,319
Speaker 1: Uh I think I think I think it's been I

591
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:21,400
think it's been disappointing.

592
00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 2: Right.

593
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,599
Speaker 1: So my first kind of disc on I put out

594
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:27,160
a primary Top one hunter to our Patreon members maybe

595
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,000
a week and week and a half ago. Hey, this

596
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,039
is what I'm thinking. I think I'm x Clark down

597
00:33:31,079 --> 00:33:34,079
in twelve or thirteen, And I said you know, caveat

598
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:39,960
I can change my mind before some one comes out. Uh, yeah,

599
00:33:40,039 --> 00:33:44,359
you're mindless. So I just I mean, I spent a

600
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,000
lot of time like thinking about Clark, talk to some

601
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:51,119
people about it. He's a good baseball player. All the skills,

602
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:54,000
as you were saying, are there. He's still terribly young,

603
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:58,279
and yeah, he showed some flashes early of maybe the

604
00:33:58,359 --> 00:34:01,359
guy he could be. He he hasn't had that big

605
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:04,640
season where he's put it all together. It looks like

606
00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:06,519
that big season is going to come at the major

607
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:11,000
league level. But I mean, he's fast, he's I think

608
00:34:11,039 --> 00:34:13,719
his average exivelocity is in the eighty eight eighty nine

609
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,760
miles an hour. He needs ad a little bit more

610
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,320
leverage to push the power up a little bit. It's

611
00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:22,079
all sitting there. It just hasn't come together. So I

612
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:28,400
just so it's a pure scouting analytics ranking here, and

613
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,360
I try to do that with all of mine. I

614
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,000
know people on the Discord Signe particularly retrashing me the

615
00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:36,639
other day because I talk analytics all the time, But

616
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,079
that's just who I am. If you don't like that,

617
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:41,719
then then don't join us at the Patriots, because that's

618
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,400
what I ad that's just who I am. I just

619
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:48,039
think that. Look, if you look at the stat line,

620
00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:50,440
he should be a lot lower, but I think all

621
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,440
the skills are there. So I'm going down with a

622
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,960
ship of this. I'm going down with a ship, my friend.

623
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,320
So I will admit if I was wrong, I will

624
00:34:59,360 --> 00:34:59,840
go down.

625
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 2: With the s. So you and the violin player. The

626
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:08,079
last one's off the Titanic, right exactly. So yeah, okay,

627
00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:10,880
fair enough. At number five, we got liol.

628
00:35:12,159 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: Just go Leo Leo Da Leo Dallas these.

629
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: Nah, okay, shortstop with the athletics. He's moving he's moving

630
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:24,840
on up.

631
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: He's had a great season too, and I mean I thought,

632
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,920
I mean he's nineteen, so there's no reason to bring

633
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,400
him up. You talked about like should we put a

634
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,880
column in there for a guy who might get caught up?

635
00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:41,679
If if you, if we get on a show on

636
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,280
Sunday or Friday and say, Defrice has got called up,

637
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,440
it would not surprise me. He's really he's really something.

638
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 2: He's ready.

639
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ready. But the guy's got speed,

640
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,519
he's got power. He's a really good short stop. He's

641
00:35:57,519 --> 00:36:02,440
he as good as Jacob Wilson. No defensively at shortstop.

642
00:36:02,559 --> 00:36:05,519
But I think Wilson's hurt. I can't follow by the

643
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:10,039
way one of the one of the nuts side, and

644
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:12,199
if it's one of the casualties of the last two

645
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,159
weeks is I have no idea what's going on in

646
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,400
Major League Baseball. So the last time Jacob Wilson is heard,

647
00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:21,400
I have no idea what's going on with my fantasy teams.

648
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:24,280
I missed Zach Zach Wheeler's last start. He was on

649
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,400
my bitch. I don't know why I thought I put

650
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,239
him in. I just missed him. So I have been

651
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,320
a wall on that.

652
00:36:31,559 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the other Max Muns. He is now at

653
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,480
a I did read that.

654
00:36:36,679 --> 00:36:43,079
Speaker 1: I did read that, so yeah, I do like uh,

655
00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:46,119
I do think that Leo de Rice, I think we

656
00:36:46,199 --> 00:36:48,280
see him this Yeay. He's had a really good, really

657
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:48,719
good year.

658
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Sebastian Walcock, I wasn't aware that I was under

659
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,920
the impression he was lost for the season, but you

660
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,559
were saying he's getting back, he's ramping up a little bit,

661
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:02,000
getting back in baseball activities.

662
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: He is, I've been told, should be the end of July.

663
00:37:06,159 --> 00:37:09,679
So he had elbow brace surgery and that's allowing him

664
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,639
to come back a little sooner. At least that's what

665
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,679
the hope is. According to people I spoke without it

666
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,840
in the Rangers organization and as I right, as so

667
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,119
many returns to farm, there's no reason I think he won't.

668
00:37:21,159 --> 00:37:25,599
He remains one of the best prospects in the game. Yeah,

669
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,119
he should have been up already, Timmy. But as they say,

670
00:37:29,199 --> 00:37:30,239
shit happens.

671
00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: Yes, and the beat part of that is you're never

672
00:37:34,559 --> 00:37:36,599
going to change a It's still going to happen. To

673
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,719
live with it, right, that is correct.

674
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: But he's he's going to be very very good.

675
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:46,079
Speaker 2: Yes, at number seven, we have our first pitcher on

676
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,800
the list, and what a bitcher he is. Seth Fernandez

677
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,360
of Pitchensburg Pirates.

678
00:37:54,199 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: Wow, tore it up in low way has been more

679
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,239
mortal and high a. It's a guy that we thought

680
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,440
could pull it, maybe pull a tray, you savage. I

681
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,440
mean it was probably five percent chance he pulls the tray,

682
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,599
you savage and rips to the minor leagues. Well, Hi

683
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,039
A proved to be a little bit more challenged. I

684
00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,480
did get a chance to see one of his games. Uh,

685
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,920
and it's the real it's the real deal. I mean

686
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,519
it's big stuff. He walked. It was his first game

687
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:23,719
in hi A and he walked two of the first

688
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,400
five guys and then settled down. I thought it was nerves.

689
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,519
Maybe the control isn't quite there yet. But I mean

690
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:33,119
he's got size, he's got stuff. He's he's pitching to

691
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:36,360
the right organization. Uh, it's it's all I mean, come on,

692
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:37,320
it's all there.

693
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't add much to that. Number nine, a

694
00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:46,960
guy that I don't really know all that much about,

695
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:48,880
but as soon as I see is with the Tampa

696
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,719
bay Rays, it sort of scares me. The Deo Gillen

697
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,920
at number age.

698
00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:57,599
Speaker 1: Interesting that you say it scares you. It's interesting you

699
00:38:57,639 --> 00:39:02,159
say it scares you because the the Tampa bay Rays.

700
00:39:02,199 --> 00:39:04,599
If I take a look at the number of as

701
00:39:04,639 --> 00:39:08,039
I entered this process, the number of maybe players they

702
00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:11,679
had was huge, and then I just you just get

703
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,840
into it, and the guys have just been disappointing to him.

704
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,639
I mean, you know, they they they have not developed

705
00:39:19,639 --> 00:39:23,159
the way I thought of. I mean, Brody Hopkins, he's

706
00:39:23,199 --> 00:39:25,320
got some of the best stuff in the minor leagues.

707
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,880
I mean absolutely, he can't throw shrikes. I mean he's

708
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,039
and that's what the Rays do well. They can't get

709
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:33,960
him to throw strikes. There's a lot of pictures on

710
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:37,280
the race. Uh Suarez who Santiego Suarez is one of

711
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,559
my guys. His stuff is falling off. The one guy

712
00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:43,719
that has it well, there's a couple of guys. But

713
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:47,559
Theo Gillen, who I like coming out of the draft

714
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:50,599
last season, has really blown up this year and he

715
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,000
looks like he's on his way to superstard him. But

716
00:39:53,079 --> 00:39:56,519
a lot of the other Tampa Bay Rays, the Carson Williams,

717
00:39:56,599 --> 00:39:59,840
the Xavier Isaac's and the guys that were we thought

718
00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:02,159
lot of over the last couple of years have just

719
00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:03,599
not put it together.

720
00:40:06,039 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 2: Huh. Interesting.

721
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: Remember Trade Morgan? Remember Trade Morgan with.

722
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: The oh yeah apostrophe, Yeah yeah, all of the ad spellings.

723
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,480
I remember.

724
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: The last I looked, he's hitting like two ten and

725
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:25,639
with three home runs or something. I mean, just completely

726
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,239
fell apart when he got to triple A. Just can't

727
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,360
cannot hit hitting two o seven five home runs, striking

728
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,639
out a third at the time. This is a guy

729
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,400
that made tremendous content. Explain this to me, mister McLeod

730
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,800
in twenty twenty four. Yeah, he struck out eleven percent

731
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,679
of the time. This season, again he's hurt, striking out

732
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,719
a third of the time. I'm not sure what happened

733
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,039
to this guy. Maybe obviously he's hurt now, but did

734
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:56,280
something happened that an injury just he's been brutal.

735
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

736
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,039
Speaker 1: There's a ton of rays like that.

737
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, because generally as a rule where they have problems

738
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,079
is high aided double A right, double A to triple

739
00:41:10,119 --> 00:41:12,840
A shouldn't be that, it shouldn't be as challenging per se,

740
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,719
that first big step, at least to me, that first

741
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,199
big step is more of a measuring stick than double

742
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,280
A to triple A right totally.

743
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: But for the rays at least it looks well, some

744
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,039
of it's going into double A, but it's I mean, again,

745
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,880
Theo Gillen's been great, Nathan Following, who is a catcher,

746
00:41:33,079 --> 00:41:37,320
and Caden Bodine, who was another catcher that the Orioles drafted.

747
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,840
Those guys have blown up tat and Gray has been

748
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,119
tremendous this season. Cooper Fleming's been good, but Hopkins has dropped,

749
00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:49,039
Daniel Pierce hasn't played, Carson Williams has dropped, here's a

750
00:41:49,159 --> 00:41:51,679
guy that has remember Braydon.

751
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,639
Speaker 2: Taylor, Braiden Taylor rings a bell, he's a.

752
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:58,039
Speaker 1: First round draft pick a few years ago. It looks

753
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:02,119
like a baseball player all of a sudden, so us

754
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,559
so that they've had some wins, but a lot of

755
00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:07,280
guys have really fallen off. I mean TJ. Nichols is

756
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,320
a guy that struck out a ton of guys all

757
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,400
a sudden. He can't throw strikes this year. Jacob Melton

758
00:42:12,519 --> 00:42:16,480
looks like a platoon guy. He's dropped. I mean, just

759
00:42:16,599 --> 00:42:20,639
a lot of reds reds. And yet that's not good

760
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,719
on my list. The guys that have dropped with no.

761
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,679
Speaker 2: I the other thing that's not good about that hole scenario,

762
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,480
it was a raise. You need to draft. That is

763
00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:34,280
their source of Yeah, they're not going to go out

764
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,920
and sign the big free agents. They've got to make

765
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,400
their draft work or they have problems. Right.

766
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: I think they picked second. M hm, So let's see

767
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,119
they Yeah, they picked second, the White Sox, Rays, Twins, Giants, Pirates.

768
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:53,039
Look for that Pirate pick at five, that's that could

769
00:42:53,079 --> 00:42:55,800
be a really interesting pick. But yeah, the White Sox,

770
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:02,039
so somebody's going to get Rochilowski uh huh.

771
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:07,519
Speaker 2: And I don't think the White Sox will walk by them.

772
00:43:07,559 --> 00:43:08,400
I think they'll take them.

773
00:43:09,159 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: I think you have to. I don't know how, I

774
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,559
mean I get it. Our buddy Tim Webers thinks he's

775
00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:17,920
ever ready. He could be, but I mean he's a

776
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:21,280
pretty pretty high floor. That's the other thing we always

777
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,360
talk about when you do rankings, you do it the

778
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:23,880
same thing.

779
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:25,079
Speaker 2: Is it is it?

780
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: Is it ceiling over floor? Is it floor over ceiling?

781
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, well, I think a lot

782
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:37,920
depends on where you're at as far as your dynasty, uh,

783
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:42,400
as far as your dynasty players rostered. Okay, if you've

784
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:47,280
got an ample number okay of safe high high floor pix,

785
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,800
well you can afford, and you've got depth, you can

786
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,639
afford to speck a little bit, okay, and take those chances.

787
00:43:54,280 --> 00:44:00,840
If you're looking at uh a minor league roster that

788
00:44:01,039 --> 00:44:05,679
is stocked with high risk, high reward tize, well maybe

789
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,159
you should get a couple safe floors and balanced it. Oh.

790
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,480
I think a lot depends on the individual circumstances behind

791
00:44:11,519 --> 00:44:15,000
the teams. At least that's how I would think it

792
00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:16,880
should it should roll.

793
00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: So if we go back to the two thousand and

794
00:44:20,519 --> 00:44:24,880
twenty four draft, which when it was a Travis Bozana

795
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:29,559
went number one and Connor Griffin went number nine. It's

796
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,400
probably gonna and that Nick Kurtz went for that draft.

797
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,239
It's probably going to work out that Connor Griffin is

798
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,840
going to be the best player in that draft. But

799
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,719
he went nine, but the guys in front of him

800
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,440
were all college kids. Bizana, Chase Burns has been great,

801
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:47,880
Charlie Condon, I still think there's Nick Kurr taken. Smith

802
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,039
has been a disaster. Jack kaglin Owen's been okay, JJ Weatherhill,

803
00:44:51,159 --> 00:44:53,719
Christian Moore has been a disaster. But the Angels pick

804
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,320
disaster players, so you get the and then Connor Griffin,

805
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,960
so you know, it's it's interesting all those college kids

806
00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:01,800
and then they got the first prep guy and he

807
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,119
blows up. Should the Cleveland Guardians have taken counter Griffin.

808
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:08,639
Of course they should have, but they decided to go

809
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,719
a little safer. They went with the higher fourth PA

810
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,679
was on and so did everybody else. But the guy

811
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,599
who blew up as a high school kid. It could

812
00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:18,360
have very much gone the other way. Countor Griffin, pick

813
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,360
another name, could have could have you know, kind of disappointed.

814
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:27,039
Speaker 2: Brian Taylor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it could

815
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:30,440
have it could have ended up in that hitting in

816
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:30,880
that direct.

817
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: Well, just in that same draft sixteen with PJ Orlando

818
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:38,760
with the Miami Marlins. Again, Marlins are terrible at drafting guys.

819
00:45:39,039 --> 00:45:41,960
He's not a major leader, he's a high school kid.

820
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:42,679
He's not gonna make it.

821
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And then you flip then you flip back

822
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,480
to Mike Piazza being picked at a thousand or whatever

823
00:45:48,599 --> 00:45:50,840
it was, the odd the odd bulls and you look

824
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,400
at Mike Trout. Yeah, where where did he go twenty five,

825
00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:55,800
twenty six when we're in there.

826
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,559
Speaker 1: Twenty one, twenty three, something like that.

827
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was in the twenties. Yeah, yeah.

828
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: But it's it is it is. It is risk reward,

829
00:46:05,159 --> 00:46:07,400
it's it's you're going to go to the high upside guy.

830
00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:10,840
And look, I think if you play it safe and

831
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,440
and the the Angels have, I mean it's a perfect example.

832
00:46:14,519 --> 00:46:17,599
They play it safe every year they get Nolan Shannywells

833
00:46:17,639 --> 00:46:20,880
and and Christian Moore's of the world and as Zach

834
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,320
Nido's been probably the only guy that's worked out, even

835
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,400
though he's had a tough season you know now that

836
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,159
Mozealak is a temporary guy running. That'll be interesting to

837
00:46:30,199 --> 00:46:33,559
see how they do this draft because they need to

838
00:46:33,639 --> 00:46:36,119
get and and they're they're actually systems a little bit

839
00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:39,559
better this year, believe it or not. They they need

840
00:46:39,679 --> 00:46:41,719
to bring in some talent. It would be good for

841
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,920
them to get a high school kid at the draft

842
00:46:45,039 --> 00:46:47,800
that's that has a chance to you can really build

843
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,480
around kind of an Eli Willis of the world, a

844
00:46:50,559 --> 00:46:54,960
guy that really tooled off, very very athletic, and see

845
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,400
what they can do as opposed to go in the

846
00:46:56,519 --> 00:46:59,519
Christian more round I mean, which is you know, th guys,

847
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,280
he's it's not going to be anything. We knew that

848
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,559
when he gets drafted.

849
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,679
Speaker 2: At number nine. Moving along, we have a guy who

850
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,719
hasn't played yet this year. I know that you're still

851
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,440
obviously very high on Apparently I was reading somewhere I

852
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,559
think about Trey Turner, Turner moving to the outfield or

853
00:47:17,599 --> 00:47:20,320
something that would definitely help Aiden Miller, wouldn't it.

854
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: Oh, I haven't looked at the metrics on Turner. Maybe

855
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,039
his defense is starting to fall a little bit. Remember

856
00:47:26,119 --> 00:47:27,880
when Trey Turner came up, he came up as an

857
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,960
outfielder center fielder forgot who was playing shortstop for the

858
00:47:32,159 --> 00:47:35,880
Phillies when he when he made that move. But anyway, look,

859
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,920
ad Miller, it sounds a little concerning, right because this

860
00:47:40,079 --> 00:47:42,679
is a guy that he hurt us back. He went

861
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,639
in for some kind I was reading some kind of

862
00:47:47,559 --> 00:47:51,679
new procedure, which is not something you ever want to hear.

863
00:47:52,159 --> 00:47:55,559
Speaker 2: Right now. That's not a good sign new procedures.

864
00:47:55,679 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: No, okay, yeah, So but it's a lower blumbard issue,

865
00:48:00,119 --> 00:48:02,199
you which you know, I've had back surgery on my

866
00:48:02,639 --> 00:48:06,960
my lower back. It's it's not good. But I don't

867
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,360
know how we can discount him too much until you know, obviously,

868
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:11,840
if he doesn't play the whole season, I've got to

869
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,039
drop him at the you know, going in next year

870
00:48:14,079 --> 00:48:16,079
a little bit. But I mean he's still got. He

871
00:48:16,159 --> 00:48:18,480
still was great, particularly in the second half last year.

872
00:48:18,519 --> 00:48:20,559
So I would assume he's still going to be good.

873
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,679
Speaker 2: Okay, and I I'm going to call our tenth pick.

874
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,400
We're going to discus We're going to say ten A

875
00:48:26,599 --> 00:48:30,639
and ten B. H Okay, because we're talking a right

876
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,480
handed pitcher and a left handed pitcher, both out of

877
00:48:33,519 --> 00:48:39,119
the Mariners system. One who I think is a gimme

878
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,880
that we see in the second half in Kate Anderson.

879
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:48,880
But you have him behind Ryan Sloan or are they?

880
00:48:49,159 --> 00:48:52,320
Are they ten A and ten B. What are your

881
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,559
thoughts on on Sloan versus Anderson.

882
00:48:55,159 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: I think Slun's the higher upside guy. I mean, he

883
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,960
just throws harder. It's big your stuff. Keate Anderson does

884
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,159
ninety three miles an hour. I mean it's a it's

885
00:49:04,199 --> 00:49:07,960
not avelossit guy. He's got really good secondary pitches, good location,

886
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:12,719
is a really really good picture. But I mean Sloan

887
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,000
is the is the home run, that's the guy that

888
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,119
you think can lead, you know, lead your rotation. I

889
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,559
don't think Kate Anderson is. I think he slots in

890
00:49:21,639 --> 00:49:25,519
as a number two three guy, low risk, very very

891
00:49:25,599 --> 00:49:29,800
low risk guy. I mean Sloan still doesn't always throw strike,

892
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,880
so there's some growth still that has to has to

893
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,360
occur there. But it's big stuff. He's a lefties that

894
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,079
I know. He's alrighty right, So there's a lot to

895
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,760
like with Sloan.

896
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,199
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. Do you agree that we'll see Kate

897
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:46,440
Anderson in the second half?

898
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: Tim and I were talking before about should we have

899
00:49:51,079 --> 00:49:54,519
a little column talking about when these guys arrive. I

900
00:49:54,599 --> 00:49:56,719
would have thought Kate Anderson would have already been up.

901
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,360
I think it's going to take an injury or as

902
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,480
we've been talking about the Mariners moving some of their

903
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:07,639
major league starting pitcher pitching for some hitting. If you

904
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,719
tell me by when's the trade deadline? The third of August.

905
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,119
It's kind of a weird date this year.

906
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: It's a weird date.

907
00:50:13,559 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you tell me the day after and they

908
00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:19,519
still have their six starters answers, No, he's not going

909
00:50:19,599 --> 00:50:21,719
to make it. If they trade one of them, or

910
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,119
they trade two of them. I think the answer is absolutely,

911
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:25,920
he'll be Then he is the next guy up.

912
00:50:27,159 --> 00:50:28,639
Speaker 2: Okay, and if he's not.

913
00:50:29,079 --> 00:50:31,199
Speaker 1: If he's not, it should be an investigation.

914
00:50:31,679 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 2: So okay, yeah, we'll start. We'll start right ranking their

915
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,480
prospects with the Rockies. Write something along.

916
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,199
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I mean it's it's yeah, exactly, we should.

917
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,239
We will talk about the Rockies for a minute. So

918
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,519
that's good Segmentiny, Let's let's take a break and come back.

919
00:50:48,599 --> 00:50:50,199
We're already at fifteen minutes. I hope you got a

920
00:50:50,199 --> 00:50:50,880
few more minutes.

921
00:50:52,119 --> 00:50:54,679
Speaker 2: I've gotten nothing but time. All I've gotten planned for

922
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:55,719
the four years and now.

923
00:51:03,639 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: I just have a handyman coming in at some point

924
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,480
to put in a shower rod. So so guess guests

925
00:51:10,519 --> 00:51:12,960
coming in in another week or so, And it would

926
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,960
be nice if there was a if there was a

927
00:51:15,039 --> 00:51:18,880
shower curtain for the exposed to the element.

928
00:51:19,039 --> 00:51:25,199
Speaker 2: So, uh, yes, well you can sit down, you know, hey,

929
00:51:26,119 --> 00:51:28,800
make up some popcorn, get a couple of drinks out

930
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,039
and watch cycle exactly exactly.

931
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: By the way, watching a TV show called The Beast

932
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:41,960
in Me with Matthew Reese, who's wonderful actor and clear Danes.

933
00:51:42,039 --> 00:51:46,039
It's on Netflix. Wow, what a great show, kind of

934
00:51:46,119 --> 00:51:49,119
in that it's in that psycho kind of world where

935
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,960
so the Beast in Me is kind of says it all.

936
00:51:53,119 --> 00:51:56,320
So Matthew rees plays a bad dude. So it's very

937
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:56,840
very good.

938
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, with a title like that, I thought it might

939
00:51:59,639 --> 00:52:02,239
have been a documentary on that Norwegian.

940
00:52:03,039 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: Player, which what are you talking about?

941
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:12,079
Speaker 2: Oh, the Norwegian uh soccer player.

942
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what did you do.

943
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: Oh he's just a big he's just a beast. Yeah,

944
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:26,320
I don't know that that kid that's ruling the the airwaves.

945
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,760
He's one of the best in the world and apparently

946
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:29,519
nice kid too.

947
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,079
Speaker 1: I've been I've been ranking players.

948
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the Norwegian Beast.

949
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, France won yesterday and that's I I

950
00:52:41,559 --> 00:52:43,960
don't want them to win the whole thing because they're

951
00:52:44,039 --> 00:52:46,440
the team that always like flops all the time, and

952
00:52:46,519 --> 00:52:49,079
they look like they're but they look like they're really

953
00:52:49,159 --> 00:52:51,159
hurt and then they pop up and start running again.

954
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,559
It's long held, yeah, that they fake those to get

955
00:52:55,639 --> 00:52:59,119
themselves rest time, and they always bug me. Anyway, wait, digress,

956
00:52:59,519 --> 00:53:00,280
turn it back over to you.

957
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 2: Well, well, what do you think There's a couple of

958
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:08,639
players that I'd like you to discuss and then maybe

959
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,280
turn it over to you and let you go through

960
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,119
some of your favorites a little bit further down the list,

961
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,639
like if you know, is there really any point in

962
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:22,039
discussing discussing Joshua Bias? You know what I mean? It's yeah,

963
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,719
it's but a guy that caught my attention in a

964
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:31,599
big way is a picture with the Boston Red Sox

965
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:40,320
uh ianson I I. I know very very little of

966
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,599
this kid, and he's now up in your top twenty

967
00:53:44,639 --> 00:53:49,159
five at twenty five. What's happening with Anthony I? Is

968
00:53:49,199 --> 00:53:50,639
that fine to go through it? And that Are you

969
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,840
okay with that bof around? Yeah?

970
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean he was. He was a kid that you know,

971
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:01,320
had potential entering the season and just I think he

972
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,079
started let me bring up his let me bring up

973
00:54:04,119 --> 00:54:09,440
his uh hold on for second tim come back on? Okay.

974
00:54:10,559 --> 00:54:14,119
Started off in high A, really just ridiculous and high

975
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,239
A zero point four to four e RA doing big

976
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:23,039
stuff obviously from the right side, got up the double

977
00:54:23,079 --> 00:54:26,079
as it's been a little bit more mortal, but still

978
00:54:26,159 --> 00:54:29,920
pitching to one seventy eight era A just looks like

979
00:54:30,039 --> 00:54:33,920
he's it's a power arm, pretty good control if he

980
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,960
can stay healthy. You know, the Red Sox are treating

981
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
him with kit gloves here. They're not letting him go

982
00:54:39,079 --> 00:54:42,920
over much over eighty pitches and so he's only doing

983
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,239
about five to six innings. I don't think he's gotten

984
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,679
over six innings this season yet, but strikeout. It's it's

985
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,119
good stuff and a guy that that kind of blew

986
00:54:51,239 --> 00:55:00,679
up this season when he came in with basically better stuff. Okay,

987
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,840
anything else you want to know, anything else you want

988
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:04,000
to know?

989
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:11,079
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, he's at double A and he's young, right.

990
00:55:11,599 --> 00:55:13,679
Speaker 1: And if I can just comment on Josh Bias a

991
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:18,280
little bit. Yeah, he's definitely sold out for power. I mean,

992
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,239
he's just swinging from the fences. He's got a huge

993
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,760
appercut swing, so I hope it works for him. But

994
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:26,960
he's going to strike out a lot.

995
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I hey, hey, if you solover power,

996
00:55:32,159 --> 00:55:34,280
something's got to be effected, and it's going to be

997
00:55:34,599 --> 00:55:37,280
that hit to him. That's right, Yeah, that's right.

998
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: So he's we'll see I mean, yeah, I know he's

999
00:55:42,119 --> 00:55:45,320
been on your list. He's I think we'll see him

1000
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,480
in the second half. But I mean he has sold

1001
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,920
out for power. Everyone just just be aware, Okay.

1002
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 2: At number forty eight, keleb Bonnamer of the White Sox

1003
00:55:56,079 --> 00:55:59,400
just a huge move up this year. I don't know

1004
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,960
what level, but if he's at double A, is there

1005
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,440
any chance we see him this year?

1006
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:07,599
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think he's in high A

1007
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,800
first of all, unless he he got moved up since

1008
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:15,159
I last looked. Look, so there are archetypes that we

1009
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,920
all know about. Speed guys, the Chandler Simpsons of the World,

1010
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,920
Savior Edwards, and this guy. In my little listening here,

1011
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,639
we've got Enrique Bradfield kind of the same guy that

1012
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,239
you hope maybe they developed some power. Edwards has developed

1013
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,159
a little bit of parentner. Where the speed has gone

1014
00:56:34,199 --> 00:56:38,239
this season, we're seeing with Chandler Simpson. Last I looked,

1015
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,840
it's eighty four on our exit velocity, and I know

1016
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,800
people in the Discord site that don't like me talk

1017
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,280
about that. That's not hitting the ball very hard. So

1018
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,079
there's zero power there. So you have to worry when

1019
00:56:50,159 --> 00:56:53,800
you when you got guys like that on your fantasy team, like,

1020
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,400
where are you going to find the power? Why Chandler

1021
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,719
Simpson went as early as he did, I'll never know,

1022
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,639
but he did. He'll probably get correct at next season.

1023
00:57:02,199 --> 00:57:05,239
Then there's the archetype of the Kyle Schwarber's of the world.

1024
00:57:05,519 --> 00:57:10,079
You know, power guys three true come outcome guys walk

1025
00:57:10,159 --> 00:57:12,320
a lot, strike out a lot, hit the ball a

1026
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,519
long way. Kyle Schwarber has been a unicorn drafted in

1027
00:57:16,559 --> 00:57:20,360
twenty fourteen debut. I think in fifteen or sixteen we

1028
00:57:20,559 --> 00:57:22,360
count on forty home runs. But if he doesn't hit

1029
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,559
forty home runs and he gives you a two ten

1030
00:57:25,679 --> 00:57:28,280
two twenty batting average, it hurts. I mean, you can't

1031
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,199
get twenty two home runs from Kyle Schwarber with a

1032
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,719
two ten batting average unless you're an one base percentage

1033
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,679
Lee Caleb Bonder.

1034
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's still a problems.

1035
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you still have to work around that. But if

1036
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,719
Chandler Simpson steals sixty bases, he's interesting. If he steals

1037
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:47,920
thirty bases, he's not.

1038
00:57:48,599 --> 00:57:48,639
Speaker 2: So.

1039
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:54,199
Speaker 1: If Schwarber hits twenty home runs, he's not interesting anymore. Right,

1040
00:57:55,079 --> 00:57:57,840
there's too much hair on it to be worth a

1041
00:57:58,159 --> 00:58:02,199
rostering a guy like that. Well, Caleb Bonanimer, Eric Buttanti,

1042
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,400
those kind of guys that have seventy eighty gray Wall

1043
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,880
raw power are very comparable to Kyle Schwarber. Now the

1044
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,760
new one is Murakami. What Murakami did in the first

1045
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,320
two months of the season, we finally have the second Unicorn,

1046
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,400
at least temporarily. We need to see what he does

1047
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,639
over a long period of time. If he becomes the

1048
00:58:21,719 --> 00:58:24,920
next Kyle Schwarber, you're going to see guys like Bonhamer

1049
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:28,440
and Buttanti, these guys that have three true outcome guys,

1050
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,239
they're going to get a lot of runway Because I mean,

1051
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,599
Mura Kami just was carrying that team much like Kyle

1052
00:58:34,679 --> 00:58:39,119
Schwarber carries the Phillies and teams are starting to realize, hey,

1053
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,880
on base percentage, we're good with that, as long as

1054
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,599
he's going to get on base, hit power, hit with power.

1055
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,599
But fantasy standpoint, it becomes a little trickier because most

1056
00:58:47,599 --> 00:58:51,239
people still playing on in batting average leagues. Bomber's going

1057
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,000
to have a low batting average. He's going to hit

1058
00:58:53,039 --> 00:58:56,559
thirty thirty five home runs maybe more, and he's he's

1059
00:58:56,599 --> 00:58:59,760
going to be a very good baseball player, but he's not,

1060
00:59:00,039 --> 00:59:02,239
and he's not gonna have a high batting average at all.

1061
00:59:04,719 --> 00:59:06,119
Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough.

1062
00:59:07,239 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure everybody kind of understands

1063
00:59:11,519 --> 00:59:15,599
those kind of profiles when you're developing your fantasy team.

1064
00:59:16,519 --> 00:59:19,440
Major League Baseball teams have done the same thing. You

1065
00:59:19,639 --> 00:59:22,039
can't have. Well, the White Socks are trying to do it,

1066
00:59:22,719 --> 00:59:26,119
to have at each position a three true outcome player.

1067
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,679
That's a power hitting team, and they're going for it.

1068
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,920
They're doubling down, tripling down, just everybody put a power,

1069
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,159
power bat at every position. I don't think that's going

1070
00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:39,159
to be the trend, but I do think there is

1071
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:45,760
a world in which teams can throw out these guys

1072
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,159
that are power, guys that are on base percentage guy

1073
00:59:48,239 --> 00:59:50,760
that is an ARC type that is starting to get

1074
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,920
a lot of momentum. I call them three true outcome players.

1075
00:59:54,639 --> 00:59:56,679
But that's who it is, right and bottomber Guess what

1076
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:57,920
place for the White Sox.

1077
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you put Montgomery and Muricami. Yeah yeah, but

1078
01:00:04,159 --> 01:00:08,320
they still have Antinaci leading off, who has a hit

1079
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:08,960
to him? Right?

1080
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:09,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1081
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 2: They've protected the big bats by having somebody who can

1082
01:00:13,559 --> 01:00:16,639
get on base ahead of them, right. Yeah.

1083
01:00:16,719 --> 01:00:18,599
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be interesting to see if it works, right,

1084
01:00:18,679 --> 01:00:22,400
I mean, I don't know if you can have that

1085
01:00:22,599 --> 01:00:25,519
many strikeouts in a lineup going. It might work in

1086
01:00:25,599 --> 01:00:27,679
the regular season, but if you get you know, to

1087
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,960
the playoffs where you've got really good pictures in that

1088
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,039
and you're just you know, striking out, you know, you're

1089
01:00:34,039 --> 01:00:36,960
getting fifteen sixteen strikeouts a game from a lineup, is

1090
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:37,599
that gonna work?

1091
01:00:38,239 --> 01:00:43,159
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I don't either. I haven't a clue.

1092
01:00:43,719 --> 01:00:48,840
Josh Adamski second basement with the Brewers, what's the scoop here?

1093
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: First, he's a Brewer, so you like him. High floor

1094
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:57,519
guy can really really hit kind of marginal power and speed.

1095
01:00:57,559 --> 01:00:59,199
I think you'll have a little bit more power than

1096
01:00:59,239 --> 01:01:01,639
he will speed. But he's a guy that's moved up

1097
01:01:01,679 --> 01:01:04,239
a lot and a guy that probably had a little

1098
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,519
too too low. But it's just he's another one base

1099
01:01:08,559 --> 01:01:12,880
percentage guy that can hit with you know, a little

1100
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:13,400
bit of power.

1101
01:01:15,679 --> 01:01:20,159
Speaker 2: Okay, sounds sounds good. Now let's look at the other

1102
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,639
side of the coin Ethan Holiday.

1103
01:01:24,239 --> 01:01:27,679
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, where do I have youth in Holiday?

1104
01:01:28,639 --> 01:01:32,559
Speaker 2: Do you have him at eighty nine? Yeah? Down fifty

1105
01:01:32,679 --> 01:01:34,480
nine slots from February?

1106
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: No, there he is, yep? Yeah, from thirty yep. Okay,

1107
01:01:41,199 --> 01:01:45,000
let's talk about that. So obviously brother brother of Jackson,

1108
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,159
son of Matt. You love the lineage, you get some

1109
01:01:48,519 --> 01:01:52,800
extra extra points there, right, What the worry was when

1110
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,079
he was coming through the draft, Big kid going to

1111
01:01:56,119 --> 01:01:59,920
be big strikeouts, going to be some power. That's kind

1112
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:02,920
of of what his first season has shown, striking out

1113
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,480
almost thirty percent of time. There is power, there's high

1114
01:02:05,599 --> 01:02:08,519
end eggs of velocity. But when you throw in the

1115
01:02:08,599 --> 01:02:12,199
Colorado Rockies into the mix, I'm sorry, Tim, I get it.

1116
01:02:12,199 --> 01:02:14,119
I know Matt Holliday played for them, and that's where

1117
01:02:14,159 --> 01:02:17,719
he made his name. Until they until they can develop

1118
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:22,079
one or two guys. I'm just I'm skeptical. I think

1119
01:02:22,159 --> 01:02:24,039
you've got to discount those players.

1120
01:02:24,159 --> 01:02:24,679
Speaker 2: I just do.

1121
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: Charlie Condon looks like he's turned it around. But look,

1122
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:33,800
if you've ever watched any TV show made in Albuquerque,

1123
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,639
that's an ugly place where balls fly out right, So

1124
01:02:38,239 --> 01:02:41,760
and that's where that's where Charlie Condon is starting to

1125
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,159
look like a major league baseball player. Is he gonna

1126
01:02:44,159 --> 01:02:46,760
be able to handle Sliderstone in the major leagues? I

1127
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,119
don't know. I think there's big boy power. I don't

1128
01:02:49,119 --> 01:02:50,719
know if he's going to hit. Is that going to

1129
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,239
be the same thing as Ethan Holliday. Maybe, But the

1130
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,920
fact that he plays for the Rockies, you've got to

1131
01:02:57,079 --> 01:02:58,360
discount him. I think.

1132
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 2: Okay, enough, yeah, yeah, I have no arguments here whatsoever.

1133
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: I got history. If you disagree with me, and we

1134
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,880
can point to player after I just saw a del

1135
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,360
Amador get dropped in the Dynasty League. It just sads me.

1136
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:17,960
You know, It's like he should be dropped, right, and

1137
01:03:18,039 --> 01:03:20,960
it's like, what the hell happened to adel Amador? I mean,

1138
01:03:21,039 --> 01:03:24,320
it's like, where's Zach vieing? Like where are all these

1139
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:28,079
guys that had a chance to be something, and they

1140
01:03:28,199 --> 01:03:30,199
get to the upper levels of the minor leagues with

1141
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,360
the Rockies and they just disappear.

1142
01:03:33,599 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, who is the lives back they developed that

1143
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:38,599
had it was star potential to.

1144
01:03:40,559 --> 01:03:44,239
Speaker 1: Maybe. I mean, Goodman's been been very good, but I mean,

1145
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,559
is he a complete player? I don't think so. It's

1146
01:03:46,599 --> 01:03:52,039
a power guy, but I mean it's it's just been disappointing.

1147
01:03:52,159 --> 01:03:54,960
And look when he got I talked about it and

1148
01:03:55,079 --> 01:03:57,639
Ethan Holiday got taken by the Rockies, and then I

1149
01:03:57,719 --> 01:04:00,400
tried to convince myself, Wow, you know he's going to

1150
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,039
be really good. It's great hitting the environment, and then

1151
01:04:03,719 --> 01:04:06,480
it doesn't matter. They get taken by the Rockies and

1152
01:04:06,599 --> 01:04:10,280
it just you have to discount them until they prove otherwise.

1153
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 2: Totally agree. Okay, I'm going to turn it over to

1154
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:19,559
you and let you go on a rampage some guys

1155
01:04:19,599 --> 01:04:23,519
that you like, say after one hundred, some guys that

1156
01:04:23,639 --> 01:04:26,519
are are interesting to the point where where they're worthy

1157
01:04:26,559 --> 01:04:28,400
of a discussion. Saw.

1158
01:04:29,519 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: I saw Caden Hunter pitch, left handed pitcher with the

1159
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,440
Baltimore Orioles. I really goosed him up. I thought he

1160
01:04:34,599 --> 01:04:37,639
was really impressive. Left hander was up the ninety eight

1161
01:04:37,719 --> 01:04:41,000
miles an hour. Hasn't shown great control this year, but

1162
01:04:41,159 --> 01:04:43,880
when I saw him, he was throwing strikes and somewhat unhittable.

1163
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:47,840
Really like that Rowdy Rodriguez with the Angels. The Angels

1164
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:53,079
have a surprisingly good farm system, and Rowdy Rodriguez ore

1165
01:04:53,199 --> 01:04:57,320
a U d I outfielder with the Angels, athletic starting

1166
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,360
to break out with some power hitting the a little bit.

1167
01:05:00,519 --> 01:05:03,800
I goosed him up from three sixty nine to one thirteen.

1168
01:05:04,679 --> 01:05:08,639
John Gill, shortstop with the Atlanta Braves, comes in at

1169
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:13,360
one sixteen, up from three twenty six. Should have had

1170
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:17,079
him higher entering the season. The Braves, all of a

1171
01:05:17,199 --> 01:05:21,840
sudden have guys that that can hit. I mean they've

1172
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,559
always been focused on pitching, and all of a sudden,

1173
01:05:24,599 --> 01:05:27,320
now they've got uh some hitters. One of the guys

1174
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,559
that we did not talk about was the guy that

1175
01:05:30,679 --> 01:05:33,000
has probably been the biggest breakout of the season as

1176
01:05:33,239 --> 01:05:37,800
Eric Hartman. Eric Cartman came in looking like Enrique Bradfield

1177
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,519
slashed Chandler Simpson. He was a speed guy, came in,

1178
01:05:42,199 --> 01:05:47,039
balked up, got stronger, is now averaging you know, ninety

1179
01:05:47,079 --> 01:05:49,639
miles an hour on his eggs of velocity with some

1180
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:54,000
leverage showing power created a little bit of power, you know,

1181
01:05:54,039 --> 01:05:57,480
strikeout power for strikeouts. But that's a guy that's kind

1182
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,519
of blown up. So all of a sudden, you see

1183
01:06:00,079 --> 01:06:04,000
the Braves kind of morphine from all they've been focused

1184
01:06:04,039 --> 01:06:07,679
on is pitching. As the Ozzie Alsby's of the world

1185
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,800
get a little long in the tooth, they're starting to

1186
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,400
develop some of their positional guys, which is pretty interesting.

1187
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,480
And I think John John Gill is a very interesting guy.

1188
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 2: Well, and you get the Braves are digging themselves as

1189
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,280
a hole. What they created for themselves were losing all

1190
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,639
the draft picks, right, I got a few years back.

1191
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,280
But they've they've had to rebuild their farm system pretty much,

1192
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:28,679
haven't they.

1193
01:06:29,199 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: Yep, Hagen Smith. I'm not sure what happened to Hagen Smith.

1194
01:06:33,599 --> 01:06:36,239
I probably would visit that. I see where he actually

1195
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:40,840
went off. He should have gone down. So here's here's

1196
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:45,119
a really really interesting player. Ohen Airs. I didn't think

1197
01:06:45,159 --> 01:06:47,199
ahead of them at two hundred entering the season, but

1198
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:52,559
that's a guy who's twenty five twenty four catcher with

1199
01:06:52,679 --> 01:06:55,880
the Chicago Cubs that kind of came out of nowhere

1200
01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:00,920
and has been been fantastic, So he's definitely a late

1201
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:06,480
bloomer in double A interesting guy maybe for the second half.

1202
01:07:06,599 --> 01:07:10,320
Owen Airs a y e R s Henry la Lane.

1203
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,119
You probably remember me talking about.

1204
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 3: Henry la Lane six five six foot six lefty with

1205
01:07:16,119 --> 01:07:20,239
the Yankees. Looked like Big Can, looked like he was

1206
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,519
starting to He really had a blowout season in the

1207
01:07:22,599 --> 01:07:26,480
Complex League. This is a perfect example of a guy

1208
01:07:26,639 --> 01:07:28,280
that looked like he had a chance to be a

1209
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,360
future star. So I invested in him. A lot of

1210
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,719
people invested in him. And then the last two years,

1211
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:34,920
maybe three years.

1212
01:07:35,519 --> 01:07:40,039
Speaker 1: Awful, could hurt all the time, and I wrote him off.

1213
01:07:40,119 --> 01:07:41,800
I mean, it's just like he just wasn't putting it.

1214
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,239
Comes in this season, Timmy looking like the same guy

1215
01:07:45,559 --> 01:07:48,760
was back in the Complex League, up back up the

1216
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,800
ninety seven miles an hour, wicked a change up. He's

1217
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,400
still in low way. I think the Yankees after the

1218
01:07:57,719 --> 01:08:00,440
All Star break here because now all leagues going to

1219
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,239
an All Star break. There is no more All Star

1220
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,280
game in the minor leagues there used to be, which

1221
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,400
is always a lot of fun. They just have the

1222
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,079
week off. I think you will see him up in

1223
01:08:09,159 --> 01:08:11,880
Hudson Valley and a guy that I've been telling our

1224
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,639
Patreon member, is anybody that'll listen if he's sitting on

1225
01:08:14,719 --> 01:08:16,840
the waiver wire, you got to go get this guy.

1226
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:21,319
He's throwing straight. Everything is clicking for Henry L. Lane.

1227
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:24,840
Let me give it. I'll go a little bit deeper.

1228
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,720
See Yeah, let's get down in the two hundreds. Zach

1229
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:35,520
Earhart another outfield with the Dodgers. He's done nothing wrong.

1230
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:39,199
He's been hitting, he's been showing power. He's just buried.

1231
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,560
I mean, it's just he's just a burry guy that's

1232
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:46,600
good on base percentage skills. He's got some power and speed,

1233
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,000
maybe a fifteen to fifteen kind of guy. He might

1234
01:08:49,079 --> 01:08:51,560
get moved here at the deadline. If he does some

1235
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,600
trip away, you can immediately see him up. So put

1236
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:58,039
a little pin in that one for you. Camp Call

1237
01:08:58,159 --> 01:09:00,800
you no idea what happened to camp Call? I thought

1238
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,239
he was going to be a lot better, but he

1239
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,159
just has not put it together.

1240
01:09:06,119 --> 01:09:10,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a question on actually that actually fits

1241
01:09:10,159 --> 01:09:12,920
into this part of the program, and I don't I

1242
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,319
don't know if you can provide an answer. But Jerry

1243
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,960
B from the Discord saye because I know we can

1244
01:09:19,079 --> 01:09:23,319
include all Dodgers prospects, but he I'm surprised Chase Harland

1245
01:09:23,399 --> 01:09:26,119
didn't make the list. Happy birthday, Chase. He turned twenty

1246
01:09:26,239 --> 01:09:28,880
today and he's put up a three hundred and four hundred,

1247
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,680
five hundred plus season. Do you know much about Chase

1248
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,640
Harlan and if so, what are your thoughts? I do.

1249
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,359
Speaker 1: He's a really really young kid just turn Yeah, unless

1250
01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:44,640
you say, just turned twenty years old. No speed, can

1251
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:48,680
hit with a little bit of power, So okay, I

1252
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,640
just have not had a chance to dig into him

1253
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:56,960
enough to want to rank him. So yeah, look for

1254
01:09:57,039 --> 01:09:58,640
him in the second half that I was a guy

1255
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,560
that will probably get on the top five hundred. It's

1256
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,439
a great call out by the guy on the Discord site.

1257
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,039
Third round pick, so he's got the pedigree, but this

1258
01:10:07,199 --> 01:10:10,479
is a typical Dodger guy. That third round pick should

1259
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:11,319
have probably gone higher.

1260
01:10:12,279 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I always got I was going to say, and

1261
01:10:14,079 --> 01:10:17,720
he would be the ninth oadfielder in that organization. Yeah,

1262
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,119
you gotta draw the line somewhere, right, You got to

1263
01:10:21,159 --> 01:10:21,399
draw I.

1264
01:10:21,399 --> 01:10:25,359
Speaker 1: Mean, just can't. You can't dig into everybody, But you're right, Yeah,

1265
01:10:25,399 --> 01:10:29,039
I mean, it's definitely a good call. Good call out

1266
01:10:29,239 --> 01:10:31,000
by the person who brings his name up.

1267
01:10:31,119 --> 01:10:35,039
Speaker 2: So Jerry, Yeah, okay, thanks Jerry. I'll turn it back

1268
01:10:35,079 --> 01:10:38,039
to you now for some prospects further down the list.

1269
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: Uh Franklin prime era catcher with the Boston Red Sox.

1270
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:46,479
A guy that's really blown up, really good on basis skill,

1271
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,840
with a bit of power. Only in the Complex League,

1272
01:10:49,119 --> 01:10:50,640
but a guy that I like a lot.

1273
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:51,079
Speaker 2: There.

1274
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,279
Speaker 1: You start to get in the two or three hundreds,

1275
01:10:53,319 --> 01:10:55,279
you start to see guys that have fallen as well.

1276
01:10:55,880 --> 01:11:00,399
Who's that one? Jordan Yost, Detroit Tiger shortstop, a really

1277
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:04,760
nice season. He's a guy that's moved up Ethan Sean Keys.

1278
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,800
I've seen him in the major leagues. I moved him

1279
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:08,840
up to two fifty four. Still don't know if he's

1280
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,640
going to hit enough, but obviously huge power there and

1281
01:11:13,399 --> 01:11:18,800
starting to do something. Oh let's see that came interesting?

1282
01:11:19,359 --> 01:11:21,600
Chris Swarrow. I just saw a couple of weeks ago,

1283
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,520
and was it hya or it was high? It was

1284
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:27,760
a double A. I think it was double A. He's

1285
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,600
another catcher that's got speed, so you would like this.

1286
01:11:32,159 --> 01:11:34,399
I think it was only a ten thousand dollars sign too,

1287
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,399
So you kind of root for those guys. Interesting kid

1288
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:40,119
that played well on Hya another really good season in

1289
01:11:40,239 --> 01:11:42,960
double A. Doesn't get a lot of love in deeper

1290
01:11:43,039 --> 01:11:43,840
dynasty leagues.

1291
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 2: But a guy there and where he's right on your life.

1292
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,039
Speaker 1: He's what on he's down at number two ninety one.

1293
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 2: Okay, dang get and let's see.

1294
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: Let me give you one more guy. How about Eric

1295
01:12:00,359 --> 01:12:05,000
but Tanti That was a guy brought up today earlier.

1296
01:12:05,159 --> 01:12:08,319
Again huge huge power. He's gonna swing Amiss a lot.

1297
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,800
And there's tons of walks there. So again Milwaukee Brewer,

1298
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,119
first baseman, very anti, Milwaukee Brewer guy.

1299
01:12:18,279 --> 01:12:21,279
Speaker 2: Okay, do you have time for one other question from

1300
01:12:21,359 --> 01:12:22,159
the discord site?

1301
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:23,159
Speaker 1: Of course?

1302
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 2: Okay. Don wants to know. He's curious about the big

1303
01:12:29,079 --> 01:12:34,079
drop for Grissino. Is it just the injury or are

1304
01:12:34,159 --> 01:12:37,520
there other drivers? And he says mostly flat per Fromelo

1305
01:12:38,359 --> 01:12:40,319
and he's having a better year with more pop and

1306
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,520
he thoughts there there's a couple of questions from Don.

1307
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: Prisina was simply because he hasn't played. I mean, he

1308
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,199
could pop back up, and he dropped. I guess he

1309
01:12:49,319 --> 01:12:52,920
dropped twenty seven, so that's that's fair. But I mean

1310
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,960
he just literally started playing a couple of weeks ago.

1311
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,399
I mean I made the comment on Sebastian wall Cod

1312
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,720
and a Miller why drop them? But I really goosed

1313
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:08,119
up Risino up to twenty two and and maybe had

1314
01:13:08,199 --> 01:13:11,079
them a little too high going into the season. So

1315
01:13:11,239 --> 01:13:15,600
there's a little correction there. Okay, But I dropped him

1316
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:18,640
just because he hasn't played. But I top fifty guy,

1317
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,560
I mean it's still a top fifty guy. That's pretty good. Yeah,

1318
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,560
and Formella for Mella's had a great season. That's probably

1319
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,760
a good call. Why isn't he a little bit higher? Yeah?

1320
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:28,720
He probably should be.

1321
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 2: Okay, super Thanks Thanks for your question, don greatly appreciated,

1322
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:40,800
and back to you Rich for some further thoughts. If

1323
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:45,319
you have me, I think I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. Let's

1324
01:13:45,399 --> 01:13:48,199
just tell you absorb the number, sheer numbers and weight

1325
01:13:48,319 --> 01:13:49,479
of this project and.

1326
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,159
Speaker 1: Let's let us let's take a final break, come back,

1327
01:13:51,199 --> 01:13:52,239
and I'll try to wrap this up.

1328
01:13:53,399 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 2: Okay.

1329
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:12,199
Speaker 1: Josh Hammond, Yes, short stop with the Kansas City Arroyos

1330
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:18,680
twenty twenty type of upside the second round pick last year.

1331
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,319
I didn't think a ton of them. I think I

1332
01:14:20,359 --> 01:14:22,600
had him ranked two fifty six. Well, I know I

1333
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:26,640
had him ranked. I'm just looking at it. The guys

1334
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,680
who stepped up and another guy that was I think

1335
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,960
a second or first round pick was the was the

1336
01:14:32,119 --> 01:14:35,920
Mets Matt Mitch Woite. I think it's Mitch vo it T.

1337
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:40,760
When I was doing my tour last week down in Maryland,

1338
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:42,960
I got a chance to watch him in a couple

1339
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,560
of games against the Orioles high A system. Really liked

1340
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:50,479
that guy, really athletic, good speed, hitting at the top

1341
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:53,600
of the lineup. The ball really exploded off his bat,

1342
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:55,399
So I moved him up as well.

1343
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,279
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I'm just looking at the profile

1344
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:03,039
sneak upside that that should have our attention.

1345
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then guys like Jonah Toong, I mean, he's

1346
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,960
really really struggling. It's it's Ah And I don't I

1347
01:15:11,039 --> 01:15:12,920
don't want to say I told you so, because I

1348
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,079
did rank him at twenty six, But I was really

1349
01:15:15,159 --> 01:15:18,399
concerned about Jonah Tong entering this season. He doesn't have

1350
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:21,640
a breaking pitch, and look, if you don't have something,

1351
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,199
you don't have a breaking pitch, you don't have a

1352
01:15:24,079 --> 01:15:27,960
ball that you can use against glove side batters. You

1353
01:15:28,039 --> 01:15:31,239
don't throw hard, I got problems.

1354
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,319
Speaker 2: So yeah, and justifiably so. Yeah.

1355
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,079
Speaker 1: Jonah Jonah Toong's a little guy that throws harder than

1356
01:15:38,199 --> 01:15:40,960
his body probably should allow him. He's got a great

1357
01:15:41,079 --> 01:15:44,920
change up, but he has no breaking pitch. I don't know.

1358
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,000
It's a tough, tough, tough one for me. I dropped

1359
01:15:49,079 --> 01:15:53,000
him down to eighty four. He's still going down. Uh

1360
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,520
Avy Arquette, that got him down from sixty five to

1361
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,560
ninety two. Miami Marlins. We could talk with the Miami

1362
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:05,319
Marlins almost in the same light as we do the

1363
01:16:05,399 --> 01:16:10,039
Colorado Rockies. At least the Marlins developed pitching. In fact,

1364
01:16:10,079 --> 01:16:13,479
they developed extremely well what's the last hitter that the

1365
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:17,359
Marlins have developed? And that's just another situation that it's very,

1366
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,159
very challenging. And I mean.

1367
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:25,279
Speaker 4: Carlos Stanton and the guy with the Brewers now, oh

1368
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,720
you know, you know I'm talking about Christian Yeah, yeah,

1369
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:32,039
I mean that they were great when they're the Marlins,

1370
01:16:32,079 --> 01:16:35,319
and but that was two administrations ago, right, So there's

1371
01:16:35,319 --> 01:16:36,760
a whole new crew down there, and they're just so

1372
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,560
terrible at developing guys one guy that I haven't given

1373
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:41,319
up one as well.

1374
01:16:41,359 --> 01:16:44,359
Speaker 1: In Francesca. If you take a look at his stat line,

1375
01:16:44,399 --> 01:16:47,680
it's terrible. I still believed him.

1376
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,199
Speaker 2: Hey, you're a man of conviction. Nothing wrong with that.

1377
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 1: I still believe. I also still believe in Jefferson Quaro,

1378
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,319
even though I dropped them a little bit, that I

1379
01:16:58,359 --> 01:17:01,880
can hit man. I yeah, I just I don't have

1380
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:04,800
to tell you. So I guess to conclude. One of

1381
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,520
the things that in just going through this exercise, and

1382
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,720
I brought it up at the top of the podcast.

1383
01:17:12,119 --> 01:17:15,560
If if you're in Chicago and you hate the Milwaukee

1384
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,960
Brewers because you you uh, you refuse to put them

1385
01:17:19,199 --> 01:17:23,560
on your on your fantasy squad because of the Milwaukee Brewers,

1386
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:26,000
you're making a big mistake. You need to you need

1387
01:17:26,079 --> 01:17:29,520
to swallow it and move on from that. And the

1388
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:31,920
same with the Dodgers. If you're a Padres fan and

1389
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,920
hate the Dodgers because of Dodgers, you're making a big mistake.

1390
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:39,239
I mean, they're They're What my analysis have shown is

1391
01:17:39,279 --> 01:17:43,079
there are a handful of teams that have They've got

1392
01:17:43,199 --> 01:17:47,880
some really really interesting players and really deep systems. And

1393
01:17:49,119 --> 01:17:51,560
the Pirates are right up there as well.

1394
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, you know you were saying earlier that what

1395
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:58,880
those three teams, the three teams you mentioned have something

1396
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:00,159
like fifteen percent.

1397
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:07,359
Speaker 1: And sixty percent of the top five hundred, twenty five

1398
01:18:07,359 --> 01:18:10,079
percent of the fifty percent of the top five hundred

1399
01:18:10,159 --> 01:18:12,640
twenty five percent of the top one hundred.

1400
01:18:14,079 --> 01:18:19,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. If you're ignoring that because of your quotation

1401
01:18:19,399 --> 01:18:23,000
marks love for the game, yeah, you're missing opportunities.

1402
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just you need to swallow it or

1403
01:18:26,119 --> 01:18:31,279
find a different hobby because they're I mean, the Brewers

1404
01:18:31,319 --> 01:18:35,439
in particular are because I've met a lot of Brewers

1405
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,760
bress and it's interesting because the Brewers are becoming the

1406
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,479
farm system from the scouting and analytics rank for the

1407
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:44,520
rest of Major League Baseball. That's the one thing that

1408
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,359
no one talks about. But like you're you're out of

1409
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,359
the you know, you're out of the game. And you

1410
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:51,960
see guy with the Kancity Royal shirt on, I go,

1411
01:18:52,199 --> 01:18:56,039
I thought you worked for the Brewers. I got I

1412
01:18:56,159 --> 01:18:58,560
signed on with the with the Royals because they paid

1413
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,039
me more money or filling the blank. And they're all

1414
01:19:01,119 --> 01:19:05,000
over the place because the Brewers have a way, particularly

1415
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,119
in the international ranks, of looking at players a little

1416
01:19:08,119 --> 01:19:13,079
bit different. And I stress this because those are the players,

1417
01:19:13,159 --> 01:19:16,239
particularly in dynasty leagues. That's where you should be mining

1418
01:19:16,279 --> 01:19:17,760
from it. And if all of a sudden you've got

1419
01:19:18,279 --> 01:19:21,520
six or your twenty five minor league slots are taking

1420
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:29,479
up with Brewers, that's okay, because yeah, and I have

1421
01:19:30,399 --> 01:19:34,279
just stopped worrying about playing time. I worry about playing time,

1422
01:19:34,279 --> 01:19:36,439
and they're in triple A I don't worry about playing

1423
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:38,800
time and double A high, I just don't. I mean,

1424
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,319
I'm looking for the player with the tools, the player

1425
01:19:41,319 --> 01:19:42,800
I think that are going to be able to develop,

1426
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,680
to be able to hit. And I'm going to make

1427
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,000
the assumption, maybe it's naive, but I'm going to make

1428
01:19:48,039 --> 01:19:52,239
the assumption that somehow good players will rise to the

1429
01:19:52,359 --> 01:19:55,399
top and get the opportunities, and for the most part

1430
01:19:56,119 --> 01:19:56,840
that happens.

1431
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 2: That's truism. Yeah. I for me, Hey, old habits die

1432
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:06,159
hard and I'm looking. I'll always look for opportunities, especially

1433
01:20:06,279 --> 01:20:08,880
prior to call ups. That to me is important. But

1434
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:11,760
that's just a game I play. That's not the real game.

1435
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,119
That's our game, and it can be very very different

1436
01:20:15,159 --> 01:20:15,760
from the real one.

1437
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: Can it just gonna go to the to the Brewers

1438
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:23,680
real quickly? Ricky Money Mony's m o n e Ys

1439
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:29,079
ranked twot eighty, first time on the list. Just shoving

1440
01:20:29,159 --> 01:20:31,479
at this season. I mean, it's in the DSL. He

1441
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:36,159
looks like the real guy Brady Abel whose brother's being drafted.

1442
01:20:36,159 --> 01:20:38,520
I think he actually might go higher than Brady Ebel did.

1443
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,560
It was their second round pick last year. Looks fantastic.

1444
01:20:42,119 --> 01:20:45,399
He's at three or three new ones to the list.

1445
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:50,159
Juan Martinez, another guy, another young kid, seventeen eight year

1446
01:20:50,159 --> 01:20:52,159
Oldkult doing the exact same thing. It just goes on

1447
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,920
and on and on. I mean, it's just remarkable what

1448
01:20:56,039 --> 01:20:58,119
the Brewers are doing well.

1449
01:20:58,199 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 2: And you see the success of Churio okay, and you

1450
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:08,279
see Jesus Miday barely outed diapers at double A. You

1451
01:21:08,359 --> 01:21:12,479
know who we will see probably next year. Okay. When

1452
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:16,760
you look at the success that they've had, yeah, you

1453
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:20,199
can't ignore or what by that. You have to look

1454
01:21:20,239 --> 01:21:20,479
at it.

1455
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: Let me talk about the Let me talk about the

1456
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,920
best of the bunch, and that is Alexander Freeze fr

1457
01:21:26,199 --> 01:21:31,439
Ias eighteen year old kid that if you're looking for

1458
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:37,039
the next Jesus my Day Jackson Cheerio following in that footsteps,

1459
01:21:37,279 --> 01:21:39,800
it is hitting. I've got him at sixty eight. I

1460
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:44,920
think it's the first time he's been ranked. Just already

1461
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,880
and started off in the Complex League, hit four forty

1462
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:52,079
one and thirty two games. Moves to Hi a excuse

1463
01:21:52,119 --> 01:21:55,359
he moves to low A after thirteen games. Already got

1464
01:21:55,359 --> 01:21:58,319
a harm run, five stolen basis hitting two fifty, so

1465
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,840
I mean he's flatten out a little bit. This is

1466
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,760
a guy with all tooled up. Looks like he can

1467
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:07,680
hit even in hot in low way a seventeen percent

1468
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,439
strikeout rate, so wow. I mean, just go to the

1469
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,680
if you're trying to you're new to the Dynasya League game,

1470
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:19,119
don't know what to do. Just go the Brewers, the Dodgers,

1471
01:22:19,239 --> 01:22:22,159
and the Nationals and start digging through the You'll do

1472
01:22:22,319 --> 01:22:24,399
quite well just by grabbing some of those guys.

1473
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:30,600
Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good. Thanks so much for bringing it today,

1474
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,720
Rich I I really appreciate it. I'm sure our listeners

1475
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:37,920
appreciate it, and again I am. I'm just overwhelmed by

1476
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:42,079
the sheer volume of work involved in this process. Typical

1477
01:22:42,159 --> 01:22:43,439
cap do you a great job.

1478
01:22:44,399 --> 01:22:46,199
Speaker 1: Appreciate it was. It was a lot of fun. I

1479
01:22:46,279 --> 01:22:49,720
appreciate our Patreon members being patient with me as my

1480
01:22:50,119 --> 01:22:53,279
daily notes were a little light this week as I

1481
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,479
was finishing this stuff up, and I promise to get

1482
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,880
it till on Wednesday. Wound up on Thursday about noon.

1483
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,560
I got it out, but I just I wanted to

1484
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:05,039
get it done right. And look, I appreciate everybody's feedback

1485
01:23:05,159 --> 01:23:08,680
so far. It is a it is a list, a

1486
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,720
living list, so it's one that will constantly be updated.

1487
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,840
But the next update will be shortly after the draft,

1488
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:16,800
so I'm already going to come up with an update

1489
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:21,479
with the players that were drafted slotted in, So look

1490
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:22,199
forward to that.

1491
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 2: Yep, sounds sounds good. Do you want to close with

1492
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:28,960
my waiver wire fixer?

1493
01:23:29,239 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: You want to pass on that one's give me a hitter.

1494
01:23:32,279 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 2: Give me a picture, Okay, I you're you're gonna like

1495
01:23:38,039 --> 01:23:42,600
this because the hitter that I am recommending for this

1496
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:46,560
week major top one hundred list.

1497
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was about to say if if he's

1498
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,920
if he's older than eighteen, I probably don't. I don't

1499
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,640
know what you're talking about, because that's all I've been

1500
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:55,840
spending my time on is looking at children.

1501
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going with your number eighty ranked prospect who

1502
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,680
jumped up seventy three points in Hector Rodriguez.

1503
01:24:09,279 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: Oh, I love how Hector Rodriguez.

1504
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:14,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I God call me foolish, but he's making

1505
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,560
my waiverware this week. And I think we see how

1506
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:22,439
Hector Rodriguez shortly after the break. Okay, he's hitting for

1507
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:26,239
a ton of power. There's an opportunity in Cincinnati. I

1508
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:30,239
just think we're going to see Hector Rodriguez soon. Any

1509
01:24:30,319 --> 01:24:31,119
elaboration on.

1510
01:24:31,199 --> 01:24:35,039
Speaker 1: My Yeah, he's had a really good season. He's a

1511
01:24:35,119 --> 01:24:38,159
guy that has always been told up. He's never walked.

1512
01:24:38,159 --> 01:24:41,399
He swings at everything. This year's actually sporting. Last I

1513
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,760
looked like a nine or ten percent walk rate, which

1514
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,439
is actually bleak average. I don't know if it's just

1515
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,640
a small sample size. He is still pretty aggressive at

1516
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:55,920
the plate, and he's very very young, so you know,

1517
01:24:56,039 --> 01:24:58,479
but kids are coming up younger and younger. But that

1518
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:02,640
would be my only two worries because that's all I

1519
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,600
do is worry. I mean, otherwise they all but I

1520
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,039
mean my worry is is he going to hit it up?

1521
01:25:08,359 --> 01:25:10,880
Hit it up? Because he's so aggressive and too he's awfully,

1522
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:11,520
awfully young.

1523
01:25:12,359 --> 01:25:15,560
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, Okay, that's my hitter. My picture is a

1524
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:20,960
blast from the past that has started the rehab process.

1525
01:25:21,079 --> 01:25:23,880
He's got one game under his belt. You're probably looking

1526
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:30,880
at You're probably looking at I'll say second week of August.

1527
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:35,880
But don't let Jackson Joe. Don't let him if you

1528
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,079
got if you got room, find a spot for him.

1529
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 1: That's that's a good call for I had forgotten that

1530
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,840
he's getting close to return effect. I think he's had

1531
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:46,199
a couple of rehab starts, so good. How's he done?

1532
01:25:46,239 --> 01:25:46,920
You haven't checked.

1533
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,039
Speaker 2: I think he's only got one start done. He allowed

1534
01:25:50,039 --> 01:25:53,079
and earned run. Uh when a knitting in a bit,

1535
01:25:53,159 --> 01:25:57,199
the velocity was very close to triple digits, if not

1536
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:00,760
at triple digits, So you got to like that. Abe,

1537
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:04,920
there's definitely concerns, but let's face the odds or high

1538
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:09,199
they're going to move Scooble and the timing of Schooble

1539
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,039
and Drove being ready seems to sort of fit.

1540
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a shame that Joe got hurt because it

1541
01:26:15,399 --> 01:26:17,760
would have been pretty phenomenal have both of those guys,

1542
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,680
along with the much improved Casey Mice. I wonder if

1543
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:21,199
he gets.

1544
01:26:23,159 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 2: Hey. I don't think you can rule anything out when

1545
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,279
it comes to the Tigers, they could get their an

1546
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:32,319
entire bullpen and the Mets. Those are those two teams. Yeah,

1547
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:39,560
all's fair in love and baseball. They there could be

1548
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:41,960
and should be a slew of players moved from those

1549
01:26:42,039 --> 01:26:42,560
two teams.

1550
01:26:43,239 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. One thing I have been watching and like shock

1551
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:48,640
is how well the Red Sox have played. I mean,

1552
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,880
they're they're almost editing. There are only three games out

1553
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:52,920
of the wild card spot.

1554
01:26:54,239 --> 01:26:58,319
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and stories coming back that's not going to

1555
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:07,479
hurt their cause. And Bennett is just pitching. It might good,

1556
01:27:10,119 --> 01:27:12,439
good point, but I can't get over how well Ben

1557
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:13,000
it's pitching.

1558
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's amazing that floor.

1559
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,319
Speaker 2: I just tossed the dart there for the most part

1560
01:27:18,399 --> 01:27:21,960
in the hopes that you know, not so much the blood,

1561
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:27,000
the extension and the control. And I picked him up

1562
01:27:27,079 --> 01:27:30,159
cheap everywhere. And I'm smiling on both sides of my

1563
01:27:30,239 --> 01:27:33,720
face about that pickup. That's it's a good coffee.

1564
01:27:34,159 --> 01:27:37,039
Speaker 1: I wrote about him because he got traded for a

1565
01:27:37,319 --> 01:27:40,439
prominent prospect and it looked like who did he get.

1566
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:42,199
Speaker 2: It was?

1567
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, might have been Yeah, so so prolyss has got

1568
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:52,800
the obviously the high end velocity, and they basically move

1569
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,680
because they thought he was a bullpen arm and prolesse

1570
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,880
had Tommy John surgery or pre surgery. I get a

1571
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:03,960
mixed up. He's back now, he's looking great, but it's

1572
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:05,960
gonna be tough to catch Bennett at this juncture.

1573
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just just good stuff. Every once in a while,

1574
01:28:12,079 --> 01:28:14,439
you just find one of those pictures out of nowhere,

1575
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:18,079
and jumping in early does paid dividends.

1576
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:23,600
Speaker 1: So job looks like he threw thirty two pitches, fastball

1577
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,760
average ninety eight point eight, max at at one hundred

1578
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,880
point two. He didn't throw enough secondaries to really get

1579
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:34,279
a sense for anything, but I mean through hard.

1580
01:28:35,039 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 2: So nothing's wrong with the arm at least, no, no,

1581
01:28:39,119 --> 01:28:41,159
nothing of the elbows intact A good thing.

1582
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. That is a wrap to me.

1583
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,279
Thanks for helping me with this when an hour and

1584
01:28:46,319 --> 01:28:48,479
a half. I appreciate you hanging in there with me,

1585
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:49,439
because when I.

1586
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 2: Get to talking my pleisure, my pleasure, rich I could.

1587
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: Talk all day about this crap. I mean, I just

1588
01:28:57,399 --> 01:28:59,680
that's all I know. I mean, I just I just

1589
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:01,720
go on and on about that's what I do, all

1590
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,119
on on about these players. And it was it was

1591
01:29:04,199 --> 01:29:07,359
a great exercise, a fun exercise. And again, I I

1592
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:09,840
know we pip out the patrons, but that's where Tim

1593
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:13,800
and I are monetizing our work, and I just encourage

1594
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,000
you to come out there. It's it's a good crew.

1595
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,720
I think the content we put out there is great.

1596
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:20,800
I go out to the Discord site a little bit.

1597
01:29:21,199 --> 01:29:23,680
TAM's always out there and it's it's fun. I think

1598
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:26,439
TAM's got the fun aspect of of the role I got.

1599
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,760
I got to pump out content, but that's that's the

1600
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:30,239
way I got.

1601
01:29:30,239 --> 01:29:32,359
Speaker 2: I got. I've got to I've got the easy job

1602
01:29:32,399 --> 01:29:35,399
because I don't have too much trouble with fun rights.

1603
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:38,319
That's sort of in my middle name. But no, it's

1604
01:29:38,399 --> 01:29:42,600
a great group, a very knowledgeable group, and it's nice

1605
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:46,640
to see the level of participation. The only start comes

1606
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:49,640
from me and it's directed directed to teams and players

1607
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:53,920
and it's it's just a good, solid group of participants

1608
01:29:54,039 --> 01:29:56,399
that lay love the game and have a lot of

1609
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:59,720
fun with it. So I'm really enjoying myself. And again,

1610
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:03,279

01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,239
So I gotta, I gotta, I gotta pay some attention

1616
01:30:29,359 --> 01:30:31,399
to my fantasy teams. I'm gonna make sure first I've

1617
01:30:31,399 --> 01:30:34,279
got all my guys and pitching and and hitting that

1618
01:30:34,399 --> 01:30:35,439
I want so uh.

1619
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 2: But well, for everybody out there, uh uh, Wyatt has

1620
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,079
been activated. Language Yeah, put him in.

1621
01:30:45,199 --> 01:30:47,319
Speaker 1: I got him in last night, so I'm pretty excited

1622
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:52,159
he's going in. Yeah, Mike ye got him in my

1623
01:30:52,279 --> 01:30:53,960
three leagues that I have him in. So I've been

1624
01:30:54,079 --> 01:30:56,600
keeping up, I guess a little bit just to big stuff.

1625
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,720
But I I I'm glad we didn't do a traditional show.

1626
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,079
I have been doing a lot of prep time because
