00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Ninety five miles an hour, riding to his head. He

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.919
<v Speaker 1>hopping down first with the lump bonius face, and on

3
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>the very next pitch he up and stole second face

4
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>with greatest speed. He wasn't born.

5
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 2>He had the bad Yes.

6
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Uniforn, thank you for joining us. Episode forty four of

7
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 3>The Prospect B Sides Podcast, Episode Darryl Strawberry, Hank Aaron,

8
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 3>My friend, Hank Aaron, Even better episode Hank Aaron. As

9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 3>we continue our off season runnings through of each division,

10
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 3>Matt and I the rook picking out our favorite zero

11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 3>to one percenters rostered on Fantracks leagues a bat in

12
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 3>an arm from each team that we are wondering. You know,

13
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 3>maybe they're a bit overlooked, maybe they are underrated. Maybe

14
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 3>there's studs already and Fantasy World just hasn't caught up.

15
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Or probably more likely the case, somebody that we are

16
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 3>wondering might gain some more Dynasty utility in twenty twenty five.

17
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Or that's guys that we like. I mean sometimes it's

18
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 2>that too. Yeah, we do play this game to win,

19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>but there are some guys that we end up just

20
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 2>loving their aesthetic approach and we sometimes stick a flyer

21
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 2>on those guys too.

22
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 3>It's true, and sometimes those guys surprised, don't they Matt

23
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 3>correct me if I'm wrong. But when you brought up

24
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Caleb Durban about a year ago from now, I don't

25
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 3>know if you were totally sold that he was a

26
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 3>major leader, but you were a big fan of his definitely.

27
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 2>I think what I said was that I am not

28
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 2>sure that the whole package comes together and he's a

29
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>big league regular, but that his combination of contact skills

30
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and ability to manipulate the barrel gave him a real

31
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 2>shot in a way that I think when I originally

32
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>looked at this, he had one of the very best

33
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>contact seasons at double A ever, at least that we

34
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>have data for. He had ran a four point two

35
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>percent strikeout rate at double A across a not insignificant sample,

36
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 2>and it was backed up by a four percent swinging

37
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>strike rate and a pretty good sense of base stealing.

38
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's not the fastest guy, but he's speedy

39
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>and can use his legs, and that combination to me

40
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>said hey, this could be a utility player. And then

41
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>we started to see the Yankees playing in the outfield

42
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 2>and bring training, he got some run. He got some

43
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>positive comments from Boone. It was like, hey, maybe he's

44
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna get a look this year. And we I know,

45
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>we joked down the stretch while he was winning you

46
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 2>in AFL Championship. Maybe the Yankees would have benefited from

47
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>his defense and his skill on the bases after their

48
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>shockingly poor performance in World Series with respect to some

49
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 2>of the little stuff. And I see people still like

50
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>saying this is an AFL driven, exciting guy. For me,

51
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>this interest has been much longer than that. And I think,

52
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 2>like you made this point in the Dynasty, I got

53
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 2>discord that it's not about the steals. It's not about

54
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>the like, oh, he popped ten homers in three hundred

55
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>and seventy five played appearances this year, Like oh, maybe

56
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>there's some latent power there. It's really that this guy

57
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 2>has incredibly good contact skills. And you look at the

58
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 2>list of guys who run a sub eight percent swinging

59
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>strike rate in the major leagues, Every single one of

60
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>those guys is useful. That list is like a who's

61
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 2>who of underrated fantasy contributors to I think, if he

62
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 2>gets some run, he might end up being an above

63
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>average hitter up the middle. Chipping in steels, maybe some

64
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 2>multi positional eligibility, so durban, definitely fun esthetics, definitely fun skills,

65
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>and I think he's more than more than a flash

66
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 2>of in the pan.

67
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what is necessarily driving this map, but

68
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 3>you know that it's getting to be a little bit

69
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 3>more mainstream popularity when you see an increase in his

70
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 3>baseball cards, which is definitely all right. I shared this list,

71
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, three or four weeks ago my selections

72
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 3>with a couple of people in baseball and started some

73
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 3>conversation that, like you know, with some guys in some situations,

74
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 3>it kind of feels like the public sphere is maybe

75
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 3>a year behind on a lot of guys, right, And

76
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 3>my hope is with this show and our work that

77
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 3>like maybe we can get on board and in line

78
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 3>with some major league clubs and get a year ahead. Right,

79
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 3>That's the whole point of us trying to share. And

80
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 3>will that happen with all of these guys. Absolutely not.

81
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we can't catch up, maybe we can't get ahead

82
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.240
<v Speaker 3>on some guys. And I'm excited We're going to be

83
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 3>talking about the NL West tonight, and I'm kind of

84
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 3>pumped that this might be. I don't know, the most

85
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 3>exciting list of ten guys that we've touched on so

86
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 3>far for me in a dynasty sense.

87
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Very interesting and we'll definitely dig into this, I think,

88
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>But there were some that I kind of struggled to

89
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 2>get excited about.

90
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 3>Now.

91
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't get me wrong, there are some dudes in hear,

92
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>some guys that I really really like, But I don't

93
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>know there was something I was like, I don't I

94
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>don't really see it like, I don't. I don't know

95
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>if this is if there's a good B side guy

96
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>for me in a couple of these spots. But yeah,

97
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 2>let's uh, let's dive in and see see who we

98
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 2>disagree on. I mean, I feel like there's always some

99
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>good fodder there for you making fun of my picks

100
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 2>and and me you how inside.

101
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 3>Was never I would never Matt. Well, let's start it

102
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 3>off like this, and then, Matt, who is the guy

103
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 3>that you like the most that you're going to talk

104
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 3>about tonight?

105
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>I like the most.

106
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's unfair of me. Maybe I'm asking you to

107
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 3>show your hand because we are going to have a

108
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 3>little competitive draft.

109
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there are like three or four that I really

110
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 2>like and then there's a bunch that I'm there's something

111
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 2>wrong with them or there's something that like I'm unsure about.

112
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 2>But I'll say the one that I'm most excited about

113
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 2>is is my Arizona bat. And I don't know who

114
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 2>you picked for a little bit, all right, who is it?

115
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.680
<v Speaker 2>My Arizona bat is Tim Tawa?

116
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 3>No brainer. I'm with this years too. One of my

117
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 3>favorite B siders of this off season for sure.

118
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, like there's so much to like about him.

119
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 2>But I literally when I was making my notes, Nate,

120
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>that is exactly what I said. One of my favorite

121
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 2>B siders this year.

122
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>And if it old's true, like last year the bats

123
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 3>that we were both on the arms too didn't totally disappoint.

124
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, yeah, it's a good sign.

125
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree. I mean the case for Taua is

126
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I thought pretty obvious, and I'm a little surprised I

127
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 2>haven't heard more about him after digging in.

128
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.519
<v Speaker 3>No kidding, he's still zero percent on September twenty seventh.

129
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Zero percent.

130
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I'm like, you know, we're pretty plugged in.

131
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>It's not like we're pounds that are checking every single

132
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 2>ranking or following every single content creator. So maybe there's

133
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>some people out there and we're late to the party

134
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 2>on this, But I don't know. The dude just ripped

135
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 2>thirty doubles, thirty homers, and swipe fourteen bags, a full

136
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 2>six hundred and thirteen played appearances in the upper miners.

137
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 2>That's double A and triple A and like, okay, some

138
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>of that is in the PCL, which sure we should

139
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>take with a little bit of grain of salt. But

140
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>he ran just a hair over a hair under a

141
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty one percent strikeout rate, comfortably better than average, especially

142
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 2>if you're showing that kind of you know what, what

143
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>did he have sixty seven extra base hits on the year?

144
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>That's totally acceptable for a twenty one percent strikeout rate.

145
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Almost And I haven't even gotten to the best thing

146
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 2>about him yet, mate, you know what, I'm gonna say what.

147
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

148
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>He played literally every position this year except for catcher

149
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>and pitcher, and like, I bet he could do both.

150
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't think he played any short step he did?

151
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Did he he did? Yeah?

152
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 2>He played every single position this year. That kind of utility,

153
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 2>it's like, sure, is he going to be great at

154
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>all of them? No? But given that versatility, given that

155
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>they're moving him around and he seemingly is holding his

156
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>own I don't know, man, Like, how are you not

157
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of interested in this guy? Like I to me,

158
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>this was like the easiest pick of the Vanel West.

159
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 3>For Arizona's bats. I think Caleb roberts was also an

160
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 3>interesting would have been good.

161
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I call it toe Robertson, but.

162
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.439
<v Speaker 3>Matt twoll So. As far as position, I haven't listened

163
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 3>in order. He played first base, the most corner outfields,

164
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 3>second most, and second base and third base. Struck up

165
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.720
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of a conversation about Tawa with a

166
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.199
<v Speaker 3>MLB front office person, and I was kind of the

167
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 3>thinking because I took some time to watch his defense,

168
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.120
<v Speaker 3>but not a lot, and I was of the thinking that, like,

169
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 3>maybe he doesn't really have a place to play. There's

170
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 3>a difference between being able to play a bunch of

171
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 3>positions and just being tried out at a bunch of

172
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 3>different positions.

173
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 2>That is true, That is absolutely true, for sure.

174
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 3>But this person seemed to be a bit more optimistic

175
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 3>in his defensive abilities than I thought he might be,

176
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 3>So take that for whatever it's worth.

177
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>He played two started two games at shortstop, in Double

178
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 2>A this year, so he played shortstop too.

179
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 3>Okay, right, talking about the off season, I'm like, how

180
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.120
<v Speaker 3>can you treat guys ranking in the offseason or how

181
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 3>can you change an opinion? Man, I don't know. Just

182
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 3>sometimes a guy can be like right in your face

183
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 3>and you just don't realize how good he is. Like

184
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 3>the last couple of seasons, Tala has been, you know,

185
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 3>maybe on a short list of a B side selection.

186
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 3>I've watched plenty of him and out on the West Coast,

187
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 3>and he just kind of snuck up. And I think

188
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 3>part of it too, is like his I think big

189
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 3>come up was towards the back half of the season,

190
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 3>so that might be part of the reason. But he

191
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 3>was a twenty twenty one eleventh round pick out of Stanford.

192
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 3>He is Rule five eligible and not yet on the forty.

193
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 3>We'll find out in a week. I got to imagine

194
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 3>he's probably gonna get added, but very viable Rule five

195
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.679
<v Speaker 3>draft candidate if they don't protect its twenty five years old.

196
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.679
<v Speaker 3>This last season, he's listed at six foot That might

197
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 3>be a little bit generous on the height. But man,

198
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 3>what I noticed about Tala just over the last the

199
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 3>transformation of like his body over the last My man

200
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 3>does not miss his lifting sessions. Like, he is strong

201
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.720
<v Speaker 3>and you note and you can see this too in

202
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 3>his swing and like, so you know, we got some

203
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 3>savant stuff from his What was he like in the

204
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 3>PCL for about a month to end the year.

205
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a little over. He got thirty seven games to

206
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:13.639
<v Speaker 2>end the year in the PCL.

207
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so his hardest hit balls during that standard about

208
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and seven one hundred and eight, well, one

209
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 3>hundred and seven point seven miles per hour. He hit

210
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 3>about five six balls in that range, right, which obviously

211
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:27.200
<v Speaker 3>isn't elite max CV. But when you take into account

212
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 3>that Taua is always an inch inch and a half

213
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.200
<v Speaker 3>choked up on the bat when he swings, like getting

214
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 3>some more barrel control, I think that's just a testament

215
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 3>to how strong he really is. So I think that's

216
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 3>a bit unique. I don't know if you see a

217
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.399
<v Speaker 3>lot of guys that are choked up walking up there

218
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 3>in loo counts. He's not selling out for max batspeed.

219
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 2>No he's not. But I do think he does a

220
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:52.919
<v Speaker 2>pretty good job with his battle ball spray. Yeah, he

221
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>pulls the ball pretty well. You know, he's not elite

222
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>at it, but he's pulled it consistently more than forty

223
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.159
<v Speaker 2>six percent of time YEP, which is about of average.

224
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 3>Fifty six percent of the time in double A.

225
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.279
<v Speaker 2>In double A, and that definitely helped. And he hits

226
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 2>a decent number of flyballs. It's not like super dependent

227
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 2>on flyballs. But his swing is really short and compact,

228
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and you can't compare everybody to an Alex Bregman, but

229
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 2>he does some things that remind me a little bit

230
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 2>of Bregman. Bregman is still a little better back to

231
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 2>ball than Tawa, but Tawa I think it has some

232
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>things in common there that are are worth noting. The

233
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.440
<v Speaker 2>ability to pull. He gets those pulled balls in the air,

234
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and when he gets into one is he said like

235
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 2>it's they aren't cheapies that he's getting. So while he's not,

236
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's going to be a thirty homer

237
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 2>bat in the major leagues necessarily. I think it's very

238
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 2>real that we could see some twenty to twenty five

239
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.720
<v Speaker 2>homer seasons out of Tawai if if he gets a

240
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:48.120
<v Speaker 2>good run.

241
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Now, I don't totally know what the story was here.

242
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.960
<v Speaker 3>He started twenty twenty four in Triple A. I think

243
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 3>he was there for three series and then went to

244
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Amarillo Double A and then came back up on August twentieth.

245
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 3>From August twentieth on Matt thirty games, one hundred and

246
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.720
<v Speaker 3>thirty two played appearances. He hit ten home runs, he

247
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 3>stole a couple of bags, slash three twenty seven, four

248
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 3>h nine, and slugged six point eighty one.

249
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a pretty good end of the year for sure.

250
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 3>And I get PC and all that stuff, but he

251
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 3>was swinging the bat pretty damn well. Yeah, I mean

252
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 3>major leagues right around the corner. Potential will play everywhere.

253
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I love that doesn't strike out too much. Good hit tool,

254
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 3>he'll take some walks, he'll hit some home runs. Like

255
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 3>I have a very interesting b sider here that nobody

256
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 3>is rostering.

257
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely. And I don't know if we mentioned this

258
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>last week, but you know, Steamer came out with their

259
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five projections and it's a nice sanity check

260
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 2>that I like to see. What what is Steamer? What

261
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.399
<v Speaker 2>does this computer algorithm think of the line that these

262
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 2>guys put up and projection systems are all a little

263
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.840
<v Speaker 2>bit different. I like Steamer because it comes out the

264
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>earliest and it's been pretty consistent. It's not like they're

265
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 2>tweaking the methodology there a lot. So you can kind

266
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>of compare your over year and see some guys that

267
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>are like, how does it project that particular line? And

268
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I like it because it does a better job than

269
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 2>our eyes do at contextualizing performance and then projecting what's

270
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 2>going to happen next. So I think it's a super

271
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>useful tool. I was a little surprised that Steamer projected

272
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Tawa for just an eighty six WRC plus next year.

273
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.039
<v Speaker 2>Isn't really buying that he's going to have on base

274
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>skills and is definitely bearish on the power production. Maybe

275
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe we're slightly overrating some of those things, so you know,

276
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>it's worth noting that there is some It's not like

277
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>this guy is a slam dunk star in the major

278
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:44.879
<v Speaker 2>leagues by any means. So and Steamer, you know, eighty

279
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 2>six WRC plus for a corner bat primarily like, you're

280
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>probably not excited about rostering that guy unless you're in

281
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 2>the very deepest of leagues. But I don't know, man,

282
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I kind of think that Steamer might be missing on this,

283
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.399
<v Speaker 2>And there actually is a bit more power here.

284
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 3>With that stuff. I just wonder, like the version of

285
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 3>Taua that was the last couple months of the season, Like,

286
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't think we've ever seen him that prolific at

287
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:08.639
<v Speaker 3>the plate before.

288
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.320
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, that is definitely true.

289
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.279
<v Speaker 3>Does that stick? Was that just a blip on the radar?

290
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. It's kind of fun how a guy

291
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.200
<v Speaker 3>can be right in your view for years and then

292
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden you're like, holy shit, he's I.

293
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Mean, he's he's probably not going to run a twenty

294
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>eight point six percent homer to fly ball rate. I mean,

295
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.440
<v Speaker 2>that is like an elite level production. But he's been

296
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty consistently in the high teens before that, and that

297
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.559
<v Speaker 2>still at you know, the rate that he hits fly balls,

298
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>like that's still a really good hitter and definitely poortend.

299
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.879
<v Speaker 2>So what I think is like twenty homer power. So

300
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think that Steamer might be under

301
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 2>underrating him a little bit. But yeah, no, Tim Tawa,

302
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>he was my the easiest pick for.

303
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 3>I agree, who's a no brainer. I'll be sharing videos

304
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 3>of these guys that we talked about tonight on Twitter

305
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 3>at Pitching Specs just watching him right now. Take Randy Vasquez,

306
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.840
<v Speaker 3>you are dead center, one hundred and seven off the bat.

307
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 3>His bad is not without without pop. At the Diamondbacks,

308
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Matt on the arm side, looking at their system, kind

309
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 3>of feel like this the pictures here, this farm like

310
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.879
<v Speaker 3>has gotten a little thinned out. I feel like I

311
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.120
<v Speaker 3>feel like good part of the last three or four years.

312
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 3>You're like, you know, I don't know how great a

313
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.000
<v Speaker 3>lot of them will be, but it seemed to have

314
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 3>a lot of arms, and this year it seemed less

315
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.320
<v Speaker 3>the case to me. But as far as their prospects go,

316
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 3>the ober Diez was their most popular, most rostered back

317
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.480
<v Speaker 3>in September at twenty percent. You min Lynn, it was

318
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:38.240
<v Speaker 3>fourteen percent, Blake Waltston, who was getting some MLB run right,

319
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 3>was twelve percent, Mania who came over from the White Sox,

320
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 3>was eight percent, and then after that it's all two

321
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 3>percent or less. And the guy that I end up

322
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.960
<v Speaker 3>going with, Matt like you talk about like, I kind

323
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.919
<v Speaker 3>of hate the phrase like, oh, he came out of nowhere,

324
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 3>because often he did not come out of nowhere. He'd

325
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.919
<v Speaker 3>probably been doing some things in the minor leagues for

326
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.720
<v Speaker 3>a little while. But I really feel like Jose Cabrera

327
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 3>came out of nowhere and was like just kind of

328
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 3>destroying the Northwest League down the stretch. Man. I don't

329
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.039
<v Speaker 3>know if you watched or got into any Jose Cabrera

330
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:09.399
<v Speaker 3>at all.

331
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I did watch a little bit of him both in

332
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>like he popped in some of the other starts that

333
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I had watched and was like, Oh, that's an interesting gun.

334
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.000
<v Speaker 2>And then when I was doing a dive in the system,

335
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I watched the decent amount of him too.

336
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.399
<v Speaker 3>Nice. Yeah, he really wasn't on my radar until the

337
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 3>Hillsborough and Spokane game on August twenty fourth, to watch

338
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.480
<v Speaker 3>a guy we're going to talk about tonight actually as well.

339
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:35.519
<v Speaker 3>But Cabrera almost threw a perfect game. He was perfect

340
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.799
<v Speaker 3>through eight and a third I believe it was, or

341
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:39.960
<v Speaker 3>maybe it was eight and two thirds. End up giving

342
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 3>a hit and giving up a run and all that stuff,

343
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 3>and struck out eleven and I'm like, who is this cat?

344
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 3>But finished the year pretty nice. Three out of his

345
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.639
<v Speaker 3>last five starts he threw fqos also against Eugene and

346
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Tri City. And I'm not even sure, man, I don't

347
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 3>even know if I looked at like his pro history.

348
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:01.320
<v Speaker 2>He didn't get his SEENI guy, I mean he was

349
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.160
<v Speaker 2>like a DSL guy, ye, a little older, you know.

350
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I just like looking at like innings and stuff

351
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.839
<v Speaker 3>in his past. I wasn't like this season didn't start

352
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 3>for him until like June, I think, so, I don't

353
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:13.160
<v Speaker 3>know if he was doing.

354
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>He threw one hundred and seven then a third last year.

355
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.319
<v Speaker 3>Did he okay? Cool? But he's twenty three years old,

356
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 3>righty listed at six ' three. It's funny. He's got

357
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of h I don't know how do

358
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I say it? Like, you know how like Dontrell Willis

359
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 3>was just kind of like herky jerky.

360
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Like.

361
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Cabrera's kind of like that too. I think he's got

362
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 3>this like funky hitch in his lead foot too. I

363
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.920
<v Speaker 3>don't know if you notice that. I can't say I

364
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 3>know of any other pitchers that kind of stepped forward

365
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.160
<v Speaker 3>like he does. Throws a force three three fastballs, force

366
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.839
<v Speaker 3>Himer's sinker, a cutter. There's a change up. I believe

367
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.319
<v Speaker 3>there's two different breaking balls. I'm not sure necessarily which

368
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 3>one he throws more, because they're kind of hard to

369
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:57.559
<v Speaker 3>identify and pick apart, especially in the Northwest League broadcast.

370
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, like you said, from the Dominicans in twenty

371
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 3>twenty one, he got eleven starts in in high A

372
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 3>sixty six innings, a two point three two era point

373
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.079
<v Speaker 3>nine to four whip, a three point nine four x

374
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.200
<v Speaker 3>fIF He struck out almost twenty four percent of hitters

375
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 3>walk just shy of seven percent. They hit one eighty

376
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:20.599
<v Speaker 3>four against him, pretty low. Babbitt to twenty seven. Ground

377
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:23.440
<v Speaker 3>ball percentage was about forty four percent through strikes at

378
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 3>a sixty six percent, Cliff, I wish there was more

379
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.920
<v Speaker 3>better angles to watch him from this last year. Vancouver's

380
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.000
<v Speaker 3>really kind of like the only decent angle you get.

381
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Depends on the game. You might get some good ones

382
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.319
<v Speaker 2>in Eugene two. I know, I've I've had some luck there.

383
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Like they just they moved their camera sometimes, so sometimes

384
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:43.880
<v Speaker 2>it's like a really nice view and sometimes it's a

385
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.359
<v Speaker 2>little more off center. But yeah, the Northwest League is

386
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:47.960
<v Speaker 2>not the best for Yeah.

387
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm wondering if there's something a little difficult going on

388
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 3>for hitters with his kind of attack angle. When he

389
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:57.440
<v Speaker 3>seems to be like going really well, he's like burying

390
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.920
<v Speaker 3>just a lot of stuff down in the zone. And

391
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.440
<v Speaker 3>and I don't know, that just seems really tough on

392
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.519
<v Speaker 3>the hitters, more so than your usual guy fill in

393
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.240
<v Speaker 3>the bottom of the zone. But I don't know, I

394
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.720
<v Speaker 3>feel like he mixes it up, will execute fairly decently

395
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.160
<v Speaker 3>from what I can tell, and when he's like really

396
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.200
<v Speaker 3>feeling a pitch, I've noticed, like in that almost Perfect game,

397
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.119
<v Speaker 3>I think it was like the cutter and the slider

398
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.839
<v Speaker 3>that were really his main pitches, and he'll just hammer

399
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.039
<v Speaker 3>hitters with those if they if they're not touching it.

400
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 3>Like it's just he's gonna make you the Knights that

401
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.440
<v Speaker 3>he against the Indians. He was not even created in

402
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.640
<v Speaker 3>fan tracks yet.

403
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Matt, So, oh wow, that's fun.

404
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're talking about a guy who's who's really kind

405
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.160
<v Speaker 3>of new on the Dynasty scene here. But yeah, so

406
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm going with Jose Cabrera this year and let's uh,

407
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.039
<v Speaker 3>let's see some more of this guy and what might happen.

408
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.079
<v Speaker 3>And it was a fairly easy choice for me, giving

409
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.839
<v Speaker 3>the other guys in this system rostered at zero one percent.

410
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 3>Cabrera his last seven starts, forty seven innings, one point

411
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.920
<v Speaker 3>one five ERA point sixty six with twenty seven percent

412
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.880
<v Speaker 3>k percentage five point seventy five walk percentage through strikes

413
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.279
<v Speaker 3>sixty six percent of the time. Not a bad finish.

414
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.279
<v Speaker 3>I got to imagine the upper levels are not far away.

415
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, no, super nice at a Cabrera. He's an

416
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.480
<v Speaker 2>interesting one to watch, and I did watch a couple

417
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.200
<v Speaker 2>of his starts. I can't say he popped for me

418
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:23.000
<v Speaker 2>quite as much as he did for you, And I

419
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.119
<v Speaker 2>think for me maybe it was like the breaking ball

420
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.880
<v Speaker 2>execution that I was like, Ah, this bitch is okay,

421
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 2>but it seems to me like this is one that

422
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.519
<v Speaker 2>guys might spit on a bit at upper levels and

423
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.079
<v Speaker 2>then he'd really be like fastball kind of cutter guy,

424
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 2>which is still super useful and there's definitely some skills there,

425
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:41.720
<v Speaker 2>but it was for me like the finish, you know

426
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.440
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, Like the ability to finish batters wasn't

427
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 2>quite as good as I would have liked to see

428
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.599
<v Speaker 2>at high A. But I do like him a fair

429
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.119
<v Speaker 2>amount and I think he's got some real oomph behind him.

430
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>He's a big boy too, which is.

431
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.319
<v Speaker 3>A big boy is a big boy.

432
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Can you remind me what was Spencer Geesing's roster percentage.

433
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.160
<v Speaker 3>In September on the second and the twenty second he

434
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:03.480
<v Speaker 3>was two percent rostered.

435
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I do like he's saying, I saw him a fair amount,

436
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.279
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's worth mentioning him. He's one that

437
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.000
<v Speaker 2>if you're getting to throw in in a trade, I

438
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.799
<v Speaker 2>would definitely roster him. I think there's some skills there.

439
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.799
<v Speaker 2>He's got some things in common.

440
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.960
<v Speaker 3>You're talking about him this year some I know.

441
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.680
<v Speaker 2>He hasn't put the like full but it hasn't put

442
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the full package together. But I think he's done enough

443
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.319
<v Speaker 2>showing and like he threw a lot of innings this year,

444
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.319
<v Speaker 2>which I also really like as y. I think he

445
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:35.599
<v Speaker 2>was in the top fifteen for minor league innings this year,

446
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>and that does tell you something about the big guys workload.

447
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 3>For me, the biggest thing with Geisting is like he

448
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of came into reach the whole new level of

449
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.119
<v Speaker 3>strike throwing this year when he was down in Hillsborough,

450
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:51.799
<v Speaker 3>and then I think that kind of kind of backed

451
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:53.799
<v Speaker 3>up a little bit when he moved up, So I'm

452
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:58.119
<v Speaker 3>a little bit skeptical on just how good the execution

453
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 3>will ever get for him. So that totally fair. I'm

454
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.440
<v Speaker 3>a little bit less back up than I was maybe

455
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.519
<v Speaker 3>earlier in the season.

456
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it didn't back up to the level that it

457
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.279
<v Speaker 2>was in years previous, so maybe he did unlock something

458
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:13.720
<v Speaker 2>mechanical and did a little bit of the you know,

459
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:17.279
<v Speaker 2>he walked what like nine percent, Yeah, eight point seven

460
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.640
<v Speaker 2>percent at double A and that's just you know, better

461
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.839
<v Speaker 2>competition and all of that.

462
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.720
<v Speaker 3>I just stick with his profile too. He's not going

463
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:24.079
<v Speaker 3>to be an overpowering guy.

464
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:25.319
<v Speaker 2>No, definitely not so.

465
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.680
<v Speaker 3>I think I think that is more important to him

466
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:28.519
<v Speaker 3>than maybe some.

467
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, but just a fun lefty that i'd keep

468
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.400
<v Speaker 2>an eye on for for those pars and you know,

469
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and if you're.

470
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:36.960
<v Speaker 3>A fan of Dylan Ray, like I've liked don right too,

471
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.599
<v Speaker 3>I know he's coming back from injury. He was still

472
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.720
<v Speaker 3>down at two percent. Ricardo jan was one percent, but yeah,

473
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.519
<v Speaker 3>and then everybody after that, Jacob Steinman's was one percent,

474
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Nate Savino one percent, then everybody else was was zero

475
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:49.319
<v Speaker 3>or not created yet.

476
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Well my pick here, I'm pretty sure was zero percent.

477
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.519
<v Speaker 2>A fun story guy Roman Angelo. Did you watch much

478
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:57.920
<v Speaker 2>of Angelo this year?

479
00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:00.480
<v Speaker 3>He's on my list here, so I turned mom, but

480
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:02.359
<v Speaker 3>I did not make any notes Matt.

481
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:05.240
<v Speaker 2>So I got to see him in Hillsborough once this year.

482
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 2>And came away the live look like, oh that was decent,

483
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, pretty good, pretty good dude. But Okay, he's

484
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.720
<v Speaker 2>a college guy and a little old, you know, like

485
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.480
<v Speaker 2>old or at level for High A. So I was like, yeah,

486
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's he had a good outing, but it

487
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.480
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like, oh my god, Wow, I gotta go write

488
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.880
<v Speaker 2>this guy up. But I followed him after that just

489
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:27.839
<v Speaker 2>because I was like, oh, this was an interesting arm

490
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 2>and I hadn't dived into him before. Well, he was

491
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 2>an undrafted free agent in twenty twenty three, fifth year

492
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.039
<v Speaker 2>guy out of Fresno, and you know, he'd been to

493
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.960
<v Speaker 2>a couple of other colleges I think, and wasn't that

494
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.960
<v Speaker 2>good honestly at any of them, Like didn't pop off

495
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the page. To no surprise, he wasn't drafted totally forgettable

496
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:49.400
<v Speaker 2>in his seven and two thirds innings to start or

497
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:51.880
<v Speaker 2>to end the year last year after he got signed,

498
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 2>even to start the year this year when he was

499
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:55.839
<v Speaker 2>at High or he was at Low A. He was

500
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:58.200
<v Speaker 2>striking some guys out, but he was walking the house

501
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.640
<v Speaker 2>and he'd had some walk issues in in the past,

502
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 2>but also wasn't striking a ton of guys out now

503
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:06.880
<v Speaker 2>he unlocked something I saw he popped on a Baseball

504
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 2>America list of the biggest fastball velocity gainers. He's up

505
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.759
<v Speaker 2>almost three miles per hour on average on his fastball.

506
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 2>A big guy, he's like six ' five, kind of

507
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:19.319
<v Speaker 2>horse looking. He's got a little bit of a short stride.

508
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It feels like maybe he could get

509
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:23.920
<v Speaker 2>down the mound a bit better than he does. But

510
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:28.039
<v Speaker 2>something about what he unlocked mechanically, it seems between last

511
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 2>year and this it has him throwing a lot harder.

512
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Has a two seam and a four seam, and it

513
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>seems like he uses them both pretty well. Like he

514
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 2>keeps the two seam down and gets ground balls as

515
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.680
<v Speaker 2>well as some whiffs, but he'll also throw the fastball

516
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.599
<v Speaker 2>up and get some whiffs up there. You know. He

517
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:45.200
<v Speaker 2>ran a fourteen point five percent strikeout rate, or a

518
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.319
<v Speaker 2>swinging strike rate in Hia. Struck out a healthy twenty

519
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:51.680
<v Speaker 2>seven point eight percent of batters, which is quite good,

520
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.799
<v Speaker 2>while limiting walks to just eight point three percent, so

521
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.200
<v Speaker 2>a hair better than average. And he can lose the

522
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.759
<v Speaker 2>zone a bit, especially with his breakers. I don't think

523
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.359
<v Speaker 2>they're sharp, and he'll miss high on the four scene.

524
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:05.440
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like those are decent misses. It's not

525
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:07.480
<v Speaker 2>like he's missing to the middle and he's going to

526
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:09.680
<v Speaker 2>give up loud contact. And that's one thing that he

527
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:12.880
<v Speaker 2>has not done so far in his short professional career.

528
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 2>He is not giving up a lot of hard contact.

529
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 2>But I think that his best secondary is his change up.

530
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.480
<v Speaker 2>And you'll you'll like this. There was a really nice outing.

531
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't at this one, but I watched it on video.

532
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:27.200
<v Speaker 2>In the first inning, is going up against your boy

533
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:31.279
<v Speaker 2>the Iowa meat truck and throws him this like really

534
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 2>lovely right on left change up, bottom corner of the zone,

535
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:38.599
<v Speaker 2>swing and miss. Oh one second pitch change up spoted

536
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the exact same spot low and away from Iowa meat

537
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 2>truck with again, oh two, what's he do? Same fucking pitch,

538
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 2>same spot, And it was a swinging miss, like the

539
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 2>exact same pitch three times over, but it had nice fade.

540
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:53.200
<v Speaker 2>He commanded it pretty well.

541
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:53.519
<v Speaker 3>It was.

542
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.000
<v Speaker 2>It was a really nice sequence. And I love guys

543
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.720
<v Speaker 2>double tripling up on pitches with conviction like that.

544
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:02.759
<v Speaker 3>Especially like a changeup. But that takes yep, it takes

545
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker 3>some stones.

546
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, especially against your boy meat truck. You know, if

547
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 2>you hang that, that ball, that ball's gone.

548
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.839
<v Speaker 3>So Angelo versus Meat Truck is that's a lot of

549
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:13.519
<v Speaker 3>LB's and then that's.

550
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Definitely definitely you could you could see there's a combined

551
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 2>they were, you know, five hundred pounds or something like.

552
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.599
<v Speaker 2>It's not a not a small man's matchup there. But

553
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Roman Angelo I think totally free because he has no

554
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 2>pedigree and was bad in his pro debut, wasn't drafted.

555
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:32.319
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know. I think there's like a real

556
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:36.279
<v Speaker 2>pitcher here, Like there's multiple pitches. The fastball now seems

557
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.680
<v Speaker 2>to be playing better. I think that with the short

558
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.640
<v Speaker 2>stride sometimes that means that the ball has a little

559
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:43.839
<v Speaker 2>bit more run to it, like it has a little

560
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:46.839
<v Speaker 2>bit more distance against which the friction of the ball

561
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:49.160
<v Speaker 2>to cause it to move. You see that sometimes with

562
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.559
<v Speaker 2>these guys that are a little shorter striders, they want

563
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:54.680
<v Speaker 2>like there's sometimes more that sinker strider guy rather than

564
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>that or sinker slider guy rather than like the I'm

565
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna get wiffs with my fastball kind of guy. And

566
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:02.079
<v Speaker 2>feels to me that Angelo's like that. But anyway, Roman Angelo,

567
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.119
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a real arm. He might be in

568
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:06.680
<v Speaker 2>my top ten B side arms, like I put serious

569
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:08.799
<v Speaker 2>consideration behind him. I'm not all in. I want to

570
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 2>see how this stuff plays kind of more appropriate levels.

571
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:13.799
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully they start him at double A next year

572
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.440
<v Speaker 2>and give him a challenge, because I think he's up

573
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 2>for it, and with a good kind of half season,

574
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.119
<v Speaker 2>I could see this guy going from nobody to hey,

575
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.119
<v Speaker 2>maybe this is a depth starter, a fourth or fifth

576
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.880
<v Speaker 2>guy at peak. So yeah, I like roman Angelo quite

577
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:27.079
<v Speaker 2>a bit.

578
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, the Olberdiez has been the only Diamondback B side

579
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.160
<v Speaker 3>arm in the past, and so he's passing the torch

580
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.440
<v Speaker 3>to Jose Cabrera and roman Angelo this year. Matt. While

581
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.519
<v Speaker 3>you were talking, I was just looking up Diamondbacks roster resource.

582
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.720
<v Speaker 3>For whatever it's worth, they have Tintawa on the bench

583
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:48.960
<v Speaker 3>right now, that nice major league bench. Nice that matchup

584
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.559
<v Speaker 3>that Cabrera that I was tuning in to watch. This

585
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:54.039
<v Speaker 3>probably won't be much of a surprise to you, but

586
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:56.400
<v Speaker 3>the Rocky's arm for me this year is you Hani

587
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.480
<v Speaker 3>or Herrera. We've talked about several times, but that's who

588
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.960
<v Speaker 3>I was tuning in to watch that matchup against Cabrera,

589
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.920
<v Speaker 3>and Herrera was dealing that day as well. It was

590
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:08.440
<v Speaker 3>probably the best pitching matchup of the minor league season

591
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.079
<v Speaker 3>that I watched. Just a one game sample here, but

592
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.799
<v Speaker 3>remember at the time, Yeah, it was a good one.

593
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Herrera came over from Milwaukee in the Mirrors trade. One

594
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.119
<v Speaker 3>percent rostered in September. I think he was up at

595
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.480
<v Speaker 3>like two percent three percent at one point this year,

596
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 3>but probably got traded to the Rockies and some folks

597
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.920
<v Speaker 3>just said no thank you, which I understand. I think

598
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.720
<v Speaker 3>he was on pipelines top thirty right at the back

599
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:34.680
<v Speaker 3>end last time I checked. Now he is Rule five

600
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 3>eligible this year, but hasn't been added to the forty

601
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 3>man yet. I'm sure that's coming in a week. Here,

602
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.039
<v Speaker 3>twenty one year old right hander, six to three, good size.

603
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 3>I think the main attraction to Herreras. I think he's

604
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.880
<v Speaker 3>got a pretty good fastball. It's maybe not the hardest

605
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.160
<v Speaker 3>in the world, but ninety five ninety six and he's

606
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.519
<v Speaker 3>got some good life to it. And as we've talked

607
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.359
<v Speaker 3>about this season, the gains that he made on his

608
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.920
<v Speaker 3>breaking ball stuff, I think has been the big uptick

609
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:04.359
<v Speaker 3>in his outlook. Here twenty twenty three, he had no

610
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:07.440
<v Speaker 3>idea where the slider was going this year. I thought

611
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.240
<v Speaker 3>executed it pretty well in the good angle looks that

612
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:11.240
<v Speaker 3>we did get.

613
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree.

614
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:16.920
<v Speaker 3>So he started off in Carolina, like four relief appearances there,

615
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 3>moved up to Wisconsin, fifty one innings there, and then

616
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:22.599
<v Speaker 3>after the trade he got thirty two and two thirds

617
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.039
<v Speaker 3>with the Indians, three thirty one era there, one point

618
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.039
<v Speaker 3>one three whip had some pretty nice outings. I do,

619
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 3>like I've said this before, I do think there's maybe

620
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:33.960
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of like Herman Marquez in him, just

621
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.119
<v Speaker 3>in the fastball slider game. I don't know how much

622
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:39.240
<v Speaker 3>you want to make of splits down in the lowers,

623
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:42.400
<v Speaker 3>but he's got kind of a reverse split guy. Lefties

624
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:45.000
<v Speaker 3>have a tougher time against him. The righties y. I

625
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I don't want to get too much into

626
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:48.160
<v Speaker 3>her Ara. I feel like we talked a lot about

627
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:50.839
<v Speaker 3>him this year, had a really nice outing his third

628
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:53.400
<v Speaker 3>to last. He went seven, gave up just two hits,

629
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.559
<v Speaker 3>struck out six, walked one against Hillsborough. That was probably

630
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:58.799
<v Speaker 3>the best version of him, and I don't mind seeing

631
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 3>the best version of a pitcher. Right at the end

632
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:02.799
<v Speaker 3>of the season. I got to imagine he'll be in

633
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Hartford pretty dang soon. Here and still quite young at

634
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 3>only twenty one.

635
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:09.319
<v Speaker 2>I like Herrara too. I know we talked about this

636
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 2>a bit. I do think he's got a live arm

637
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.519
<v Speaker 2>and some sense about what to do with that, which

638
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I think is a fun thing. And I think you're

639
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:20.759
<v Speaker 2>right that he's probably outside of the top couple of

640
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:24.039
<v Speaker 2>arms in the Rocky System. He's probably the best bet.

641
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 2>So I like your pick here better than mine. There's

642
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:30.720
<v Speaker 2>quite a few interesting guys in the Rocky System. It's

643
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:32.960
<v Speaker 2>really is a bummer that so many of them are

644
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:36.480
<v Speaker 2>going to have to contend with cores and that difficulty,

645
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:39.640
<v Speaker 2>just because you know, you look at Hughes and Dolander

646
00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and Jordi Vargas like, you know, those guys are all

647
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>super talented and interesting for one reason or another. And

648
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:49.000
<v Speaker 2>then the set of performers that they had this year.

649
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Sean Sullivan was so good, palm Quist so good.

650
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.759
<v Speaker 3>Gabriel's Hughes is back, looks like he's back. Is there

651
00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.680
<v Speaker 3>after TJ he was at five percent Raster.

652
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.519
<v Speaker 2>All those guys I think are pretty interesting for one

653
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:06.160
<v Speaker 2>reason or another. You know what he'll be, Yeah, Breck

654
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:09.799
<v Speaker 2>fypd guy, huge stuff out of Iowa. He's He's going

655
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:12.160
<v Speaker 2>to be interesting to see how he plays. Feels like

656
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:14.400
<v Speaker 2>to me he might be more of a reliever type,

657
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 2>but we'll see, you know, they'll definitely give him every

658
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:19.240
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to start. I had kind of two guys that

659
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I winnowed down to after figuring that Nate was going

660
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.359
<v Speaker 2>to take Herrera. Looked long and hard at Jase Kaminska. Actually,

661
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:29.960
<v Speaker 2>big dude out of out of what was he Kansas,

662
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Kansas State, Nebraska. It was one of those middle middle

663
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:39.039
<v Speaker 2>of America places. Yeah, Nebraska, big boy, like not overwhelming stuff,

664
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:41.359
<v Speaker 2>but he was really great this year.

665
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:43.880
<v Speaker 3>In a strike throwing. The strike throwing with him is

666
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:45.599
<v Speaker 3>like elite, like he is.

667
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like he just pounds the zone.

668
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:50.079
<v Speaker 3>Again, it's in single A and he's.

669
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Twenty two, you know exactly. And I don't think my

670
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>notes on him were that it was really fun watching

671
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 2>him pitch at single A because his fastball, curveball combo

672
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.079
<v Speaker 2>was just the way he used it just had the

673
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:05.240
<v Speaker 2>hitters baffled. And like you said, he's in the zone

674
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:08.799
<v Speaker 2>all the time and just getting soft contact or wifs

675
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:12.720
<v Speaker 2>all all over the place. I don't think that attack

676
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.119
<v Speaker 2>is going to play as he goes up like that

677
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.559
<v Speaker 2>was my assessment, but I wanted to just shout him

678
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:20.319
<v Speaker 2>out because that was a really impressive eighty seven and

679
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:24.039
<v Speaker 2>a third innings at low A for Jase Kaminska. A

680
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:27.880
<v Speaker 2>little more impressive to my eye was Blake Adams, and

681
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 2>somewhat of a similar story. Like Adams, he was pretty

682
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:35.960
<v Speaker 2>bad in college for his first couple of years, like

683
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I think he was at Arkansas. He was a reliever

684
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.880
<v Speaker 2>in his like Era and Fipp were both like above

685
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:43.680
<v Speaker 2>ten for both of those. His freshman sophomore year he

686
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:46.680
<v Speaker 2>transferred to KSU Kansas State and was and was fine,

687
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:48.839
<v Speaker 2>like not great, but he was fine, and then the

688
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Rockies popped him late round, you know, thirteenth round. In

689
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two, he's been pretty good in the miners.

690
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Had a little bit of a rough patch to end

691
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.359
<v Speaker 2>the year in high A last year in Spokan and

692
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't think like some of that might have been

693
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:04.119
<v Speaker 2>run environments, some of that might have been just tired

694
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.319
<v Speaker 2>after a couple of longish seasons. But this year he's

695
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>been really, really good. He started the year in Spokane

696
00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:14.279
<v Speaker 2>and was arguably their ace on a team that had

697
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:17.319
<v Speaker 2>really good pitching performances. Up and down that start of

698
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the year. I remember we talked about that early on

699
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that like he and Sullivan and who was the other

700
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.440
<v Speaker 2>there was someone else who was like Dolander. Yeah, yeah,

701
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:29.240
<v Speaker 2>we're all really really good. And of those guys like

702
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Blake Adams did almost as well as any of them.

703
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:34.640
<v Speaker 2>The rest of the year. Wasn't missing bats quite at

704
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:36.640
<v Speaker 2>the level of a Dolander or some of the others,

705
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 2>but his command I think is substantially more polished. It's

706
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:43.400
<v Speaker 2>a four pitch mix, but really good control over all

707
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the pitches. I think he is somebody who you can

708
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 2>tell has an approach against righty's and an approach against lefties.

709
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:53.200
<v Speaker 2>The fastball curve is the primary attack, but he's not

710
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:55.519
<v Speaker 2>afraid to go change up right on right. He's not

711
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:58.039
<v Speaker 2>afraid to throw a slider down and into a lefty like.

712
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:02.839
<v Speaker 2>He'll definitely mix things up with his approach. I'm not

713
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:08.199
<v Speaker 2>sure that the stuff is gonna hang. But he ended

714
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the year really really well in Hartford, and that was like,

715
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:14.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, Hartford obviously warms up during the summer months,

716
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:17.639
<v Speaker 2>like sometimes early in Hartford it's kind of tough to hit,

717
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:19.079
<v Speaker 2>But towards the end of the year, it's a little

718
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:21.239
<v Speaker 2>bit warmer, and I feel like the run environment was

719
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:23.320
<v Speaker 2>a little more unfriendly. But he ran a two four

720
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:26.199
<v Speaker 2>nine FIP across his five starts there, largely on the

721
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:29.599
<v Speaker 2>back of not walking anybody. I mean he walked shoot,

722
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:32.360
<v Speaker 2>what like four percent of batters or something there, No,

723
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.920
<v Speaker 2>not even not even three percent, two point eight percent.

724
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:38.840
<v Speaker 2>So if that command sticks, and especially if the stuff

725
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:42.639
<v Speaker 2>ticks up just a hair, there might be somebody worthwhile here,

726
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.119
<v Speaker 2>like who you know. Again, this is cores and all

727
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:48.800
<v Speaker 2>those caveats apply. But if he can make that work,

728
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:51.679
<v Speaker 2>there's just a real starting pitcher here, like a major

729
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.719
<v Speaker 2>league quality one. Given the depth of stuff, I'm not

730
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.599
<v Speaker 2>totally convinced, And like I said, I think Herrare is

731
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.199
<v Speaker 2>probably a better bet to like really as a pitcher.

732
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:04.039
<v Speaker 2>But Blake Adams impressed me, and I think if he

733
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.480
<v Speaker 2>does what he did this year in Double A and

734
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:09.280
<v Speaker 2>then in Triple A next year, he's going to be

735
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:12.400
<v Speaker 2>a depth starter for the big club before too long.

736
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.719
<v Speaker 2>So Blake Adams is my b side here for Colorado.

737
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:17.960
<v Speaker 3>That's a good call. He was definitely one of my

738
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:21.920
<v Speaker 3>finalists here. Your boy, I mean, Prosecci came back from injury,

739
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.239
<v Speaker 3>he's still zero percent.

740
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I really he was solid when he came back.

741
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Yep, And I think asaayah, koop it is really interesting

742
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:29.280
<v Speaker 3>as well.

743
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Agreed.

744
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 3>I think my biggest thing is he just doesn't feel

745
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:35.760
<v Speaker 3>like I don't know about the horsepower there long term.

746
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean he threw eighty six innings this year,

747
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:41.199
<v Speaker 2>like that's not nothing. But I agree with you, like

748
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I saw a bet of that too, even within starts

749
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:45.840
<v Speaker 2>that sometimes he seemed to flag a little bit late

750
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:47.519
<v Speaker 2>and he gave up a lot more runs than I

751
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:51.320
<v Speaker 2>would have expected. But yeah, coope, he's coopit. He's he's

752
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:51.960
<v Speaker 2>a good one too.

753
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Victor Warrez has been around forever. It seems

754
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:57.840
<v Speaker 3>like he's still only twenty one years old. He still

755
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 3>has moments where very much I him. But nobody wants

756
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:04.119
<v Speaker 3>to hear about how deep the Rockies pitching farm is,

757
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:06.519
<v Speaker 3>which is, you know, it might not be super elite talent,

758
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:09.119
<v Speaker 3>but they just they have a lot of solid arms

759
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:12.199
<v Speaker 3>in their system, I think. And yeah, hopefully the insect

760
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.760
<v Speaker 3>approach here will work and a couple will survive and

761
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 3>maybe even survive the whole elevation sea level thing and

762
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.440
<v Speaker 3>at least be a good picture for the Rockies. And

763
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:23.360
<v Speaker 3>that's circumstance.

764
00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think with those caveats, some of these guys

765
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:29.559
<v Speaker 2>they've got a chance to be good pictures for the Rockies.

766
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Right right, right, doesn't really equate with the fantasy rulers.

767
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, who did you go with? Bat wise? This

768
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:38.559
<v Speaker 2>was one I gotta say I struggled with a bit.

769
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I feel like there was a lot more interesting

770
00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:44.320
<v Speaker 3>B side caliber Rockies bats the last several years. But

771
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:46.559
<v Speaker 3>I went with a guy. I'm not going to be

772
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:49.719
<v Speaker 3>laying down bets that this is a major leaguer, but

773
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:53.199
<v Speaker 3>I think there's a chance, and I think the transformation

774
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:56.400
<v Speaker 3>that has taken place here, and you know, Rocky is

775
00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:59.599
<v Speaker 3>the same one the Rockies who can't develop any bats,

776
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:03.480
<v Speaker 3>took a bat from a different org and helped him

777
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:05.960
<v Speaker 3>with his biggest bugaboo. But I'm going with GJ.

778
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Hill Glenn Allen Hill Junior.

779
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Right, formerly known as Glen Allen Hill Junior. His dad

780
00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:14.199
<v Speaker 3>played for the Cubs for a while. Maybe the Braves too.

781
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Right, No Mariners the Mariner a long.

782
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Time Okay, Okay, I did following the Cubs guys back

783
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:24.800
<v Speaker 3>in the day. Man, So Glen Allen Hill not a

784
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:26.880
<v Speaker 3>big guy. I think he's listed at five to nine

785
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:28.599
<v Speaker 3>and that might even be a little generous.

786
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, way smaller than his dad. His dad

787
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:32.559
<v Speaker 2>was a huge dude.

788
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. But back in twenty nineteen, the Diamondbacks picked him

789
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.119
<v Speaker 3>in the fourth round as a California prep and things

790
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:41.159
<v Speaker 3>did not go well. We're talking about forty percent strikeout

791
00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:43.360
<v Speaker 3>rates for him in the lowers, right.

792
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:45.679
<v Speaker 2>And like no power like it was. It was that's

793
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:46.880
<v Speaker 2>a bad combo, yep.

794
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.519
<v Speaker 3>And they released him and then he went and played

795
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:53.280
<v Speaker 3>independent ball last year, and then the Rockies signed him

796
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:56.360
<v Speaker 3>back in like March or something like that, and much

797
00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:00.599
<v Speaker 3>to my surprise, Bill had a good year. Man eighty

798
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.000
<v Speaker 3>one games, three hundred and thirty six played appearances between

799
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:06.760
<v Speaker 3>A ball and hi A. As a twenty three year old,

800
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:09.760
<v Speaker 3>he hit twenty home runs and sold sixteen bases. And

801
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:13.519
<v Speaker 3>that that strikeout rate, I figured it out independent ball.

802
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:15.840
<v Speaker 3>So we're talking, like I said, forty percent. Guy who

803
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:18.679
<v Speaker 3>went to independent ball and was striking about thirty two

804
00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:21.440
<v Speaker 3>to thirty three percent of the time, and he dropped

805
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:23.840
<v Speaker 3>it twenty three point five percent in A ball and

806
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.840
<v Speaker 3>twenty six point seven percent in high a yeah.

807
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Good for twenty five point three percent on the year.

808
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:32.360
<v Speaker 3>That's a pretty remarkable shift. You don't see that every day.

809
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:35.679
<v Speaker 3>He did get called up to Hartford for their playoff run,

810
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:38.360
<v Speaker 3>but did not appear game. He's a switch hitter, plays

811
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:40.639
<v Speaker 3>outfield in second base and that. This is what is

812
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:42.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of interesting to me is the Rockies. You know

813
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:45.840
<v Speaker 3>they made that trade Joe rack I don't another guy

814
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:47.880
<v Speaker 3>who struck out a bazillion time. But point being is

815
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:50.320
<v Speaker 3>they're kind of after this little profile. They want like

816
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:52.360
<v Speaker 3>a guy who can play in the dirt and play

817
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.159
<v Speaker 3>center field. For some reason, I don't know, they want

818
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:56.679
<v Speaker 3>a guy who can play up the middle like that.

819
00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:59.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel like he'll maybe hits that bill a little bit.

820
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.679
<v Speaker 3>He's not. He's not really quite as fast, quite a burner.

821
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:05.800
<v Speaker 3>He stole twenty sixteen bags on the ear, but I

822
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:06.440
<v Speaker 3>don't know.

823
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Man.

824
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wouldn't call him like fast, would you. No?

825
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:12.280
<v Speaker 2>No, Nor would I say he is a great bass dealer.

826
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:14.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, you watch him and like his jumps are okay,

827
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.559
<v Speaker 2>and he's not as aggressive maybe as some guys in

828
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:19.039
<v Speaker 2>the sas. I mean, he's.

829
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:22.239
<v Speaker 3>Stealing well bases on pitchers who aren't paying attention.

830
00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's not, you know, your braiden Wards. I mean,

831
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:28.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that's one thing the Rocky system does pretty

832
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:30.280
<v Speaker 2>well is they give guys the green light. And so

833
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:32.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of like your major or your minor league

834
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:36.199
<v Speaker 2>stolen base leaders or leaders in their league come from

835
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Rocky's orgs. Just going down the list here, Carrig had

836
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:44.199
<v Speaker 2>fifty three, Amador thirty five, Braylen Wimmer thirty four, Dian

837
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Jorge thirty six, Jake Snyder thirty, Braden Ward fifty, Caleb

838
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Hobson forty six, Greg Jones forty six. Like that that's

839
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:55.719
<v Speaker 2>they're running, you know. And so I mean I think

840
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:59.960
<v Speaker 2>all that to say that GJ. Hill he swiped just sixteen,

841
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Like he's not going to be a big burner. I

842
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:04.159
<v Speaker 2>don't think. I don't know if that's going to be a

843
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:04.960
<v Speaker 2>big part of his game.

844
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:07.519
<v Speaker 3>He ended the season. I mean, he might have been

845
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.400
<v Speaker 3>their the hottest hitter in their system the last thirty

846
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:12.920
<v Speaker 3>two games in high A one hundred and nineteen played

847
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:16.920
<v Speaker 3>appearances slash two eighty seven three thirty six with a

848
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:22.719
<v Speaker 3>six seven six slug twelve home runs over that span. Now,

849
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.360
<v Speaker 3>I will say about the home runs when you talk

850
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:28.840
<v Speaker 3>about park factor stuff, a lot of them are line drives,

851
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:33.360
<v Speaker 3>ekeing over the fence in small ballparks. So there's definitely

852
00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:36.440
<v Speaker 3>that is definitely to be noted in my opinion. Like

853
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:39.679
<v Speaker 3>I said, I don't know major league outlook here, but

854
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:42.400
<v Speaker 3>just the sort of transformation that he took as a

855
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.039
<v Speaker 3>hitter and the production and what he was doing, like

856
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.239
<v Speaker 3>he's just kind of put himself back on the map.

857
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:49.280
<v Speaker 3>I think I couldn't believe they signed him. I was like,

858
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.239
<v Speaker 3>what are you doing another guy who strikes out a

859
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:53.960
<v Speaker 3>bazillion times? Blah blah, But uh, they helped him.

860
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you said, you said it, well, man, I for

861
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:57.840
<v Speaker 2>many of the same reasons that you did. This was

862
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.800
<v Speaker 2>my pick. GJ. Hill super excited, especially compared to where

863
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:04.199
<v Speaker 2>he was as a diamondback prospect. This is a totally

864
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:06.559
<v Speaker 2>different looking guy, and if he'd been doing this as

865
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:09.360
<v Speaker 2>a nineteen year old, twenty year old, we'd be pretty excited.

866
00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, setting aside that he does still

867
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:14.119
<v Speaker 2>k a decent amount, the power is probably not quite

868
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:16.119
<v Speaker 2>as good as it showed this year, and he's not

869
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:18.800
<v Speaker 2>quite a burner. If he had done this two years ago,

870
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I think we both would have been like or I

871
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.559
<v Speaker 2>think everybody would have been like, there's pedigree, he's a

872
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:26.639
<v Speaker 2>spark plug. He's doing lots of different things, so super

873
00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:29.400
<v Speaker 2>cool to see him turn things around like that. And

874
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:32.559
<v Speaker 2>partly as an old Mariner fan, you know, I wanted

875
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.320
<v Speaker 2>to get behind old Glenn Allen Hill junior, so hej

876
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Hill for us. I think that's both of ours beside that.

877
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:40.039
<v Speaker 2>But I will say that one of the things that

878
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:42.400
<v Speaker 2>made this tough for me was that I didn't like

879
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:45.159
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the other Rockies hitters, and I feel

880
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.920
<v Speaker 2>like normally they've been a pretty fun b siding ground,

881
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:51.719
<v Speaker 2>and they've usually had some more mixed league relevant guys

882
00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.280
<v Speaker 2>that other people are excited about. But Cole Carrig, obviously

883
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>he's way more exciting to like. Lots of folks are

884
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.840
<v Speaker 2>already on him for the kind of well rounded production,

885
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:03.199
<v Speaker 2>and you know, setting aside his potential maturity issues, he's

886
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:06.320
<v Speaker 2>a fun one that I'm excited to watch. I'm still

887
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:09.280
<v Speaker 2>into Adil Amador. I think Ammidor is going to be

888
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:12.320
<v Speaker 2>really good, and I feel like last year was just

889
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:14.760
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a blip that he's gonna come back from.

890
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.599
<v Speaker 2>He's up there on that list of who was better?

891
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:19.840
<v Speaker 2>How do I say that whose second half was so

892
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.159
<v Speaker 2>much better than their first? Like Amador is one of

893
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.599
<v Speaker 2>those guys, He's up there for that. Who else is

894
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:26.559
<v Speaker 2>on your list? Who else we're even looking at here?

895
00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Because I feel like I wasn't pumped about a lot

896
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:29.840
<v Speaker 2>of these other hitters.

897
00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I think part of it is, I mean, they sucked

898
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:34.920
<v Speaker 3>up some of the young talent, and in the major leagues,

899
00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:37.480
<v Speaker 3>right the bigger names were rostered more. But down at

900
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:40.519
<v Speaker 3>this level. Like you you mentioned Brandon Ward, I think

901
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:43.079
<v Speaker 3>he's interesting as a potential major leader. I don't think

902
00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:45.440
<v Speaker 3>he's like every day or anything like that, but a

903
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:47.599
<v Speaker 3>guy that we could see on the bench. Perhaps last year,

904
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:48.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you remember, I almost went with

905
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:52.679
<v Speaker 3>Zach Kokoska, and yeah, I think he had some injury stuff.

906
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:55.400
<v Speaker 3>This year, I admit it wasn't quite as good and

907
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.079
<v Speaker 3>hard ford as I hope, but he still hit twenty

908
00:42:58.079 --> 00:42:59.000
<v Speaker 3>home runs, you know.

909
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah strikeout. I just picked up a bit high for

910
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:02.800
<v Speaker 2>cor Costco.

911
00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:05.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, and they've also just been a nice swing.

912
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I will say co Costka. I watched a fair amount

913
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:09.360
<v Speaker 2>of him this year, and I did come around on

914
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:11.480
<v Speaker 2>his swing. I think that there's some real power there.

915
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:13.360
<v Speaker 3>And I think you got to note too that they're

916
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:16.440
<v Speaker 3>throwing more draft capital at arms the last several years,

917
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:18.760
<v Speaker 3>which I think you got some of that. But I

918
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:22.400
<v Speaker 3>did like the look of Jared Thomas this year, their

919
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.480
<v Speaker 3>second round pick from Texas. I think he's pretty interesting

920
00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:27.480
<v Speaker 3>and I don't know, I might be a little bit

921
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:30.639
<v Speaker 3>more excited for him than I am Condon, to be honest.

922
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:32.679
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, you know what, that's actually a good call out.

923
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:36.079
<v Speaker 2>I did watch a decent amount of Jared Thomas. There

924
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:39.119
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a lot, obviously, but I agree I liked what

925
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I saw, and Condon obviously has been among the most

926
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:47.000
<v Speaker 2>disappointing guys to start considering the draft hype.

927
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree, this was a the bats are thinner

928
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:52.760
<v Speaker 3>here at this raster percentage for the Rockets. Yeah, I

929
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:55.960
<v Speaker 3>was surprised you landed on hill as well. That's all right, Matt.

930
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:58.840
<v Speaker 3>The San Francisco Giants is always kind of a fun

931
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:02.079
<v Speaker 3>b side hunting ground because I think they give a

932
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:05.599
<v Speaker 3>lot of opportunity to guys really like their platoons and

933
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:08.639
<v Speaker 3>give some different guys run and stuff like that. I

934
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:11.039
<v Speaker 3>don't know if it's worked out so well for them.

935
00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:14.679
<v Speaker 3>Their lineups have been shuffled through a lot of bats

936
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:17.280
<v Speaker 3>the last few years and haven't really found all that

937
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:19.039
<v Speaker 3>great of an offense, I don't think, but.

938
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:21.679
<v Speaker 2>And it's going to be interesting to see how that changes,

939
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:25.480
<v Speaker 2>because they've definitely been a pretty platoon heavy, data forward

940
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 2>thinking organization and man, if you read Buster Posey's lines

941
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:32.920
<v Speaker 2>so far about the direction of the organization is like

942
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:36.599
<v Speaker 2>RBI is king kind of stuff, which is like wild.

943
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:39.719
<v Speaker 2>So it'll be interesting to see what direction the big

944
00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:40.920
<v Speaker 2>league club goes now.

945
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:43.320
<v Speaker 3>The bat that I ended up with, I was surprised

946
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:46.199
<v Speaker 3>to see the roster percentage and is one of my

947
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:49.119
<v Speaker 3>favorite B side bats for this year. I'm going with

948
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:55.280
<v Speaker 3>young lizbel Diez, who is only one percent rostered in September, which,

949
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:58.159
<v Speaker 3>like I said, kind of surprised me because he's I

950
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:01.320
<v Speaker 3>think some chatter about him. Yeah, but he was an

951
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:05.519
<v Speaker 3>international free agent Siney out of Cuba just in twenty

952
00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:09.320
<v Speaker 3>twenty three and at eighteen years old ninety played appearances

953
00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:12.440
<v Speaker 3>on the Complex two hundred and fifty five in a

954
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:15.480
<v Speaker 3>ball outfielder, corner outfielder. I think I don't I don't

955
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:17.440
<v Speaker 3>even know if he played at any center. But he's a

956
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:21.000
<v Speaker 3>corner all field. Yeah. Now, his overall production on the

957
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:25.039
<v Speaker 3>season isn't super noteworthy. I don't think he popped six

958
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:28.440
<v Speaker 3>home runs. He stole eight bases, walked five point five

959
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:31.039
<v Speaker 3>percent of the time, struck out eighteen point eight percent

960
00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:33.280
<v Speaker 3>eight percent of the time, which you know, that's pretty

961
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:35.400
<v Speaker 3>good for an eighteen year old. I think his first

962
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:39.360
<v Speaker 3>taste full season two seventy nine, three thirty three, slugged

963
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:42.199
<v Speaker 3>four thirty three actually better than I than I had

964
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:45.559
<v Speaker 3>thought it was, to be honest, but not too shabby

965
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.760
<v Speaker 3>and not super eye popping a one five five ISO

966
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:51.519
<v Speaker 3>on a three twenty six babbit, which was good for

967
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.519
<v Speaker 3>a one oh three w RC plus ground ball rate

968
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:57.199
<v Speaker 3>it was about forty nine percent, pulls the ball fifty

969
00:45:57.239 --> 00:45:59.960
<v Speaker 3>two percent of the time, swinging strike rate of twelve

970
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.519
<v Speaker 3>point two percent of the time. But to me and Matt,

971
00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:04.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I like the look of this guy's stroke,

972
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.559
<v Speaker 3>and the finish of his season I think was pretty encouraging.

973
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:11.639
<v Speaker 3>His last about month twenty six games, one hundred and

974
00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:15.440
<v Speaker 3>twenty eight played appearances three forty two three ninety eight

975
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:19.559
<v Speaker 3>five thirty nine, with four of his six home runs

976
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:20.559
<v Speaker 3>just coming at the end.

977
00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he I caught a decent amount of him and

978
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:25.760
<v Speaker 2>a ball and San Jose, and I think he's good.

979
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, the line's probably not gonna leap off

980
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:32.880
<v Speaker 2>the page, but remembering that he's eighteen in full season ball,

981
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:36.039
<v Speaker 2>more than holding his own, I do think that there's

982
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:39.239
<v Speaker 2>a real, some real potential here. I think the thing

983
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:42.199
<v Speaker 2>to watch with him is is the is the power

984
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:44.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna explode? Is he going to get the ball in

985
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the air a bit more? I think if he, if

986
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:50.079
<v Speaker 2>he does that, this might be a guy that really

987
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:52.599
<v Speaker 2>really pops. So I like this pick for you. It's

988
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:53.079
<v Speaker 2>a good one.

989
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what his fly ball percentage on the year was

990
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:57.559
<v Speaker 3>thirty point five percent, And for.

991
00:46:57.559 --> 00:46:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Someone who's gonna play a corner like that, probably got

992
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:01.400
<v Speaker 2>a has to come up. And I think he's got

993
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:04.480
<v Speaker 2>the power to make it work or will. I always

994
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:07.239
<v Speaker 2>thought he was like a pretty strapping young fellow, you know,

995
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:09.719
<v Speaker 2>at six two to two oh one. But I thought

996
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:11.519
<v Speaker 2>he had a good look to him, right.

997
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:13.960
<v Speaker 3>And I think there's like some good energy transfer in

998
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:17.280
<v Speaker 3>the swing. I don't I've never caught any like ev

999
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:19.800
<v Speaker 3>stuff or anything like that on DS have you?

1000
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, not off the top of my head.

1001
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:25.880
<v Speaker 3>No, My thought is it's probably nothing too loud, because

1002
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:28.320
<v Speaker 3>if it was, we probably would be hearing about it

1003
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:31.599
<v Speaker 3>from folks who have that probably, But nonetheless, so there's

1004
00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:35.599
<v Speaker 3>a very young, very young teenager who howld his own

1005
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:37.599
<v Speaker 3>and looked a part down the stretch.

1006
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he'll be a fun one to follow. You said

1007
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:42.320
<v Speaker 2>that this was sort of a disappointing group or you

1008
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:46.559
<v Speaker 2>in in San Francisco and as a whole there that's fair.

1009
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:48.840
<v Speaker 2>You know. Bryce Eldridge I think is the real deal.

1010
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Like that dude's got massive power and is showing a

1011
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:55.079
<v Speaker 2>totally acceptable k rate for a young guy. So, I mean,

1012
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:57.199
<v Speaker 2>he's super exciting. I think that he's going to be

1013
00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:00.239
<v Speaker 2>a stud big leaguer pretty soon. And they've hit some

1014
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:03.440
<v Speaker 2>B side types like Luis Matos is a big success

1015
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:05.519
<v Speaker 2>story for them. Even some of their guys that kind

1016
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.000
<v Speaker 2>of were post type sleeper type guys I think have

1017
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:10.360
<v Speaker 2>started to pan out a bit. I kind of hear

1018
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:12.800
<v Speaker 2>you that further down a lot of the guys that

1019
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:15.440
<v Speaker 2>we might normally go hunting him. There were some flaws

1020
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:18.559
<v Speaker 2>like Quinn McDaniel struck out way too much this year

1021
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and just hasn't put it all together. Grant McRae, who

1022
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:24.639
<v Speaker 2>showed some flashes in the last couple of years, like

1023
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.119
<v Speaker 2>that's not going to play with what he put together

1024
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:30.360
<v Speaker 2>this year. You know, I watched a fair amount of

1025
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Justin Wishkowski. You know, they were playing him all over.

1026
00:48:33.400 --> 00:48:35.239
<v Speaker 2>I saw him at shortstop a bunch. I never thought

1027
00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:37.199
<v Speaker 2>he was like a very good short stop there, but

1028
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:39.199
<v Speaker 2>it was interesting that they were letting him play there,

1029
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:41.559
<v Speaker 2>so wiping some bags. But I don't think the power

1030
00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:44.920
<v Speaker 2>is there. Victor Barracotto never really put the power together

1031
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:47.880
<v Speaker 2>that we've seen and that was probably a bit of

1032
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a miss for us last year being so on him.

1033
00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:53.079
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, a lot of these guys I was just like,

1034
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about you know, Bo Davidson exciting, yeah yeah.

1035
00:48:56.840 --> 00:48:58.880
<v Speaker 2>And Bo Davidson, I think is another one that you

1036
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.679
<v Speaker 2>know hasn't been fully healthy, but when he has been,

1037
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:04.920
<v Speaker 2>nothing short of electric. So like that exciding guy.

1038
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:06.800
<v Speaker 3>It was a bummer. He got a little buzz and

1039
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:09.239
<v Speaker 3>popularity at the end of the season there because he

1040
00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:10.039
<v Speaker 3>was probably.

1041
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Would have been a slam dunk. But yeah, yeah, yeah,

1042
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:14.920
<v Speaker 2>yeah for sure. And you know another guy that I

1043
00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:17.199
<v Speaker 2>think people have talked about, I don't know if we've

1044
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:20.440
<v Speaker 2>talked about him much, but Diego Velasquez, like he's been

1045
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:24.039
<v Speaker 2>young for the level, been pretty aggressively pushed. I considered

1046
00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:26.119
<v Speaker 2>him pretty heavily here because I think he can play

1047
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:30.039
<v Speaker 2>up the middle and yeah, yeah, and I think that

1048
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:33.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's got some steals. I just don't. I

1049
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:35.599
<v Speaker 2>shied away because I just don't think the power is

1050
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:37.960
<v Speaker 2>really going to play. And so now you're talking like

1051
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:41.920
<v Speaker 2>a backup infielder guy, maybe a utility type. I couldn't

1052
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:44.840
<v Speaker 2>really give it a full throat and endorsement considering he

1053
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:47.199
<v Speaker 2>was this was his age twenty season and we're still

1054
00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:50.440
<v Speaker 2>not seeing much, if any power. So wasn't super in

1055
00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:52.360
<v Speaker 2>on that, and I would say the guy that I'm

1056
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:54.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna pick, I also wasn't super in on I saw

1057
00:49:55.039 --> 00:49:58.119
<v Speaker 2>him in college. He got drafted by my favorite team,

1058
00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and I was never like, oh, yeah, this guy is

1059
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:05.320
<v Speaker 2>a note out major leaguer. But Sibn Sabaios, I am

1060
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.199
<v Speaker 2>pretty intrigued by the changes that he made after he

1061
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:11.639
<v Speaker 2>came over in the trade for Solaire this year. I

1062
00:50:11.639 --> 00:50:13.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you followed this, but he got drafted

1063
00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:15.840
<v Speaker 2>by the Braves in like the third round I think,

1064
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.119
<v Speaker 2>and you know, got underslot. It was like the book

1065
00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:22.360
<v Speaker 2>on him was he was probably a plus defensive guy,

1066
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:26.079
<v Speaker 2>had some decent raw power, but maybe wasn't going to

1067
00:50:26.119 --> 00:50:28.440
<v Speaker 2>get to it, and maybe the contact skills weren't gonna

1068
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:31.840
<v Speaker 2>quite play out after he was drafted, Like his his

1069
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:34.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, first run with the Braves, a lot of

1070
00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:36.880
<v Speaker 2>that I think showed up. Like he played pretty good defense.

1071
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.480
<v Speaker 2>The power wasn't anything to write home about, and he was,

1072
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:42.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, making a decent amount of context. It was

1073
00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:44.920
<v Speaker 2>like sort of a weird mix, like he kind of

1074
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:47.599
<v Speaker 2>turned into this slap hitting kind of guy. And I

1075
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:49.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know whether he was like trying to follow like

1076
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:54.199
<v Speaker 2>the Nacho Alvarez path or something, but he anyway gets traded.

1077
00:50:54.239 --> 00:50:56.320
<v Speaker 2>He's the main piece going back in the Solaire deal.

1078
00:50:56.519 --> 00:51:00.920
<v Speaker 2>And man when he and then just starts a murdering

1079
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:05.199
<v Speaker 2>the ball, raise his launch angle, hit way more fly balls,

1080
00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:07.519
<v Speaker 2>seem to be hitting the ball a lot harder because

1081
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.599
<v Speaker 2>the swinging strike rate and the strikeout rate itself went

1082
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:13.159
<v Speaker 2>up a bit. But that trade seems to work for him,

1083
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:15.119
<v Speaker 2>and he's got good rod juice. Like I would see

1084
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:17.480
<v Speaker 2>him leave the yard in Eugene with ease back in

1085
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:20.000
<v Speaker 2>college at University of Oregon. I don't know whether the

1086
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:23.559
<v Speaker 2>giants just like said, do you big boy, and like

1087
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:26.519
<v Speaker 2>elevate and celebrate, but whatever it was, it worked. He

1088
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:31.000
<v Speaker 2>ended the year on quite a run. And I don't

1089
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:33.039
<v Speaker 2>think it's going to be elite power, but I think

1090
00:51:33.039 --> 00:51:36.039
<v Speaker 2>we're looking at average for third base kind of power,

1091
00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:38.199
<v Speaker 2>which which will play and he's never gonna swipe bags

1092
00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:40.079
<v Speaker 2>or anything, so this is really like a hit and

1093
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:42.679
<v Speaker 2>power and defense kind of play. But I don't know

1094
00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:45.239
<v Speaker 2>what I saw this year. Sabios looks to me like

1095
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:47.559
<v Speaker 2>a full time regular if he can keep up what

1096
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 2>he did after the trade. If he's somewhere in between,

1097
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.760
<v Speaker 2>now you're looking at probably a second division regular if

1098
00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:56.280
<v Speaker 2>the glove stays as good as it has been. You know,

1099
00:51:56.320 --> 00:51:59.400
<v Speaker 2>he was like a first team Gold Glover in college,

1100
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:01.719
<v Speaker 2>and I think the reports have remained pretty bullish on

1101
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:04.320
<v Speaker 2>his glove as well. Yeah, Sam and Sebios, I think

1102
00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:07.039
<v Speaker 2>he looks like a big leader to me. So of

1103
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:09.280
<v Speaker 2>the guys we've talked about so far this year, he

1104
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:11.480
<v Speaker 2>is up there in terms of I am sure he's

1105
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:13.840
<v Speaker 2>going to play in the major leagues and for a

1106
00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:17.000
<v Speaker 2>decent stretch, So you know, take that for what you will.

1107
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:19.880
<v Speaker 3>For a third round pick who was fairly young for

1108
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:22.920
<v Speaker 3>a college that in the draft, right, like, yep, not

1109
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:25.559
<v Speaker 3>a lot of buzz, not a lot of popularity. He

1110
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:28.280
<v Speaker 3>was still zero percent rostered in September. All right, man,

1111
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:31.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm curious who you landed on on the that side

1112
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:34.679
<v Speaker 3>here for the Giants, because I had a tough time.

1113
00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Man, Yeah, there are arms. I don't know. They weren't

1114
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:41.599
<v Speaker 2>quite as exciting. Again, They've had some interesting ones in

1115
00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:45.880
<v Speaker 2>years past. Although I will say my guy last year

1116
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:49.199
<v Speaker 2>for them, Kuy Waitang, maybe my biggest miss of any

1117
00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:51.760
<v Speaker 2>take that I had in the last year. He was

1118
00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:55.239
<v Speaker 2>just atrocious last year, both in the miners in the majors.

1119
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:57.119
<v Speaker 2>And I'm still hopeful he figures it out because I

1120
00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:59.960
<v Speaker 2>still believe in what we saw the previous couple of years.

1121
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.239
<v Speaker 2>But it just was super bad this year. But I

1122
00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:05.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know, there aren't as like slam Dunk, a guy

1123
00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:08.320
<v Speaker 2>that jumped out to me here even.

1124
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:11.400
<v Speaker 3>On the top net like Carson wizen Hunt twenty nine percent,

1125
00:53:11.559 --> 00:53:15.519
<v Speaker 3>Mason Black eighteen percent, Joe Whitman seven percent, like those

1126
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:21.480
<v Speaker 3>are their top three at least popularity wise. Like the

1127
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:24.039
<v Speaker 3>most not the most exciting in my opinion.

1128
00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree with you. I did like two arms

1129
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:32.119
<v Speaker 2>of theirs after diving in a bit. I think you

1130
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:34.400
<v Speaker 2>shared your list, and one of them is the guy

1131
00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:36.639
<v Speaker 2>that you picked that I kind of co signed. But

1132
00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:38.679
<v Speaker 2>I'll let you talk about him and I'll just talk

1133
00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:39.639
<v Speaker 2>about Jack Choate.

1134
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:42.039
<v Speaker 3>He was one percent in September.

1135
00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Got a really fortunate name. I don't know. He does

1136
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:47.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things that I really like. For a

1137
00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:50.480
<v Speaker 2>picture one, he works really fast, which makes him fun

1138
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:52.599
<v Speaker 2>to watch. You're not sitting there a lot of dead time,

1139
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, when we're chopping up hundreds of hours of

1140
00:53:55.199 --> 00:53:57.960
<v Speaker 2>film and trying to smash it in as much as

1141
00:53:58.239 --> 00:54:00.840
<v Speaker 2>in as little time as possible. Really appreciate when I

1142
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:03.119
<v Speaker 2>can hit that fast forward button and the next pitch

1143
00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:05.920
<v Speaker 2>immediately shows up. That's this kind of guy. And you

1144
00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:08.320
<v Speaker 2>know hat tipp to Choate for working as fast as

1145
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:11.280
<v Speaker 2>he does. He's got a lower slot arm from the

1146
00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:14.679
<v Speaker 2>left side, but he makes it work at the top

1147
00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:17.960
<v Speaker 2>of the zone. There's something about his hand angle that

1148
00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:22.039
<v Speaker 2>makes me think that there's good vertical approach angle and

1149
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:24.599
<v Speaker 2>decent ride. The fact that he keeps throwing it at

1150
00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:26.360
<v Speaker 2>the top of his zone and not getting hurt up

1151
00:54:26.400 --> 00:54:29.559
<v Speaker 2>there that it's like it's gonna play even if the

1152
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:32.519
<v Speaker 2>velocity doesn't tick up, and I think I heard some

1153
00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:36.199
<v Speaker 2>readings that he's, you know, eighty nine to ninety one consistently.

1154
00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he gets up to ninety two, but it's not

1155
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:41.800
<v Speaker 2>elite or even average velocity for a lefty. But with

1156
00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:44.519
<v Speaker 2>the funk and the low arm angle and the way

1157
00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:47.000
<v Speaker 2>that the fastball rides, I think all of those things

1158
00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:49.880
<v Speaker 2>round it up to like maybe an average fastball, and

1159
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:51.960
<v Speaker 2>then the rest of his pitches are pretty good. The

1160
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:54.760
<v Speaker 2>change when it's on is dirty. I have seen him

1161
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:57.639
<v Speaker 2>get pretty loose with it at times, but when it's working,

1162
00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.920
<v Speaker 2>he'll throw that anytime, any count, and it seems to

1163
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:03.079
<v Speaker 2>work quite well. He can lose it a little bit

1164
00:55:03.199 --> 00:55:06.599
<v Speaker 2>arm side at times and down, but most of the

1165
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:09.400
<v Speaker 2>time it seemed like that was his most trusted secondary.

1166
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:13.800
<v Speaker 2>He knows how to get lefties out. Again, the arm

1167
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.559
<v Speaker 2>angle I think helps it play, and his breaking ball

1168
00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:19.639
<v Speaker 2>seems to work pretty well. More of a sweepy. I

1169
00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:22.480
<v Speaker 2>couldn't tell necessarily whether it was a curveball that's like

1170
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:24.880
<v Speaker 2>more sweepery or a slider, but a little bit of

1171
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:29.880
<v Speaker 2>a slower breaker that was good without being exceptional, and

1172
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the execution for me is what separated him from your guy.

1173
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I just thought he attacked the zone a touch better

1174
00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:41.039
<v Speaker 2>and still had had decent innings on the year. You know,

1175
00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:43.559
<v Speaker 2>he threw one hundred and eleven and two thirds innings,

1176
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:47.159
<v Speaker 2>which tells me that, like, while he's not going three

1177
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:49.719
<v Speaker 2>times to the order every time, it's still a fairly

1178
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:53.360
<v Speaker 2>hefty workload. And maybe there's more here and then a

1179
00:55:53.599 --> 00:55:58.320
<v Speaker 2>depth like sixth starter or seventh starter or a long reliever,

1180
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:02.320
<v Speaker 2>but that's probably his meat outcome is long reliever type.

1181
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:04.840
<v Speaker 2>So you know, not a full third endorsement, but I

1182
00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:06.679
<v Speaker 2>liked enough about what I saw that you know, he

1183
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:08.920
<v Speaker 2>might throw some innings in the back of a pen

1184
00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:12.239
<v Speaker 2>if the velocity ticks up in shorter stints or if

1185
00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the slider tightens up and maybe he gains a tick,

1186
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:18.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe he can be a back of the rotation guy.

1187
00:56:18.079 --> 00:56:20.039
<v Speaker 2>But I liked. I think he had a really good

1188
00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:22.039
<v Speaker 2>year and end of the year on a solid run

1189
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:24.639
<v Speaker 2>in double A two. So it's not like we're picking

1190
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:28.199
<v Speaker 2>guys in a ball either. He's he's in the uppers now,

1191
00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:30.000
<v Speaker 2>and I think jock joke. He's pretty good.

1192
00:56:30.119 --> 00:56:33.039
<v Speaker 3>But halfway through the season, I know we had talked

1193
00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:35.320
<v Speaker 3>about Dylan Cumming and I was kind of starting to

1194
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:38.000
<v Speaker 3>get a little excited for him. About him, I was

1195
00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:39.920
<v Speaker 3>kind of thinking, Okay, this would be my no doubt

1196
00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:42.320
<v Speaker 3>choice here for this. But man, the second half of

1197
00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:45.440
<v Speaker 3>the year, he just really was unimpressive to me. The

1198
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:49.920
<v Speaker 3>execution just was not nearly as good and reliever they

1199
00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:51.880
<v Speaker 3>were trying as a starter, and I think it just

1200
00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:54.719
<v Speaker 3>kind of cemented more of like, all right, coming if

1201
00:56:54.719 --> 00:56:57.079
<v Speaker 3>he makes it as probably a reliever. I think I

1202
00:56:57.079 --> 00:56:59.119
<v Speaker 3>was trying to, you know, search more for starters, but

1203
00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:03.320
<v Speaker 3>I end up playing with Dylan Carmacchi And you mentioned

1204
00:57:03.320 --> 00:57:04.800
<v Speaker 3>that you were a bit of a co sign here,

1205
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:06.639
<v Speaker 3>so I'm going to ask you for a little bit

1206
00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:09.360
<v Speaker 3>of help as well selling me because I was not, like,

1207
00:57:09.679 --> 00:57:12.639
<v Speaker 3>I am not super excited about this pick. I just

1208
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:14.639
<v Speaker 3>kind of felt like it was the best of what

1209
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:18.480
<v Speaker 3>was available to me. Carmachi went ninety two innings in

1210
00:57:18.559 --> 00:57:21.519
<v Speaker 3>a ball and then a little over thirty innings in

1211
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:23.880
<v Speaker 3>hi A as a twenty three year old who was

1212
00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:26.519
<v Speaker 3>a fifteenth round draft pick twenty twenty three out of

1213
00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Tulane he's a big lefty at six six, kind of

1214
00:57:29.800 --> 00:57:33.119
<v Speaker 3>like a I don't know, three quarter, maybe a little

1215
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:36.679
<v Speaker 3>bit more towards the quarter. I thought zero percent rostered

1216
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.039
<v Speaker 3>in September, which I think is understandable. He was pretty

1217
00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:43.840
<v Speaker 3>good in a ball, just production wise, not nearly as good.

1218
00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:46.800
<v Speaker 3>In his seven starts in a ball he ran a

1219
00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:50.280
<v Speaker 3>five three four era, a one point five to five whip.

1220
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:52.760
<v Speaker 2>There, that's that's in Hi A, when yeah, that's in

1221
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:53.119
<v Speaker 2>High A.

1222
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:55.599
<v Speaker 3>But he did cut the walks quite a bit. He

1223
00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:58.880
<v Speaker 3>was at eleven percent and then was down to six

1224
00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:02.280
<v Speaker 3>point eight percent in High A. And those strikeouts ticked

1225
00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:05.320
<v Speaker 3>up as well. Matt he was almost thirty percent in

1226
00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:08.320
<v Speaker 3>his seven High A starts. He was twenty four in

1227
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:09.039
<v Speaker 3>a ball.

1228
00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:10.719
<v Speaker 2>But he was giving up homers like that was the

1229
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:14.199
<v Speaker 2>issue for me. And my notes on him were that

1230
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:17.119
<v Speaker 2>I really liked his funk, like he's a lefty with

1231
00:58:17.119 --> 00:58:20.840
<v Speaker 2>some deception, and I thought that that played pretty well.

1232
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:24.400
<v Speaker 2>The part that I was concerned about was the execution

1233
00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and putting guys away. I tend to think that's something

1234
00:58:26.960 --> 00:58:29.039
<v Speaker 2>that can be learned, though, so it might just be

1235
00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:31.679
<v Speaker 2>some more reps for him because he's still pretty new

1236
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:33.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what was he twenty three.

1237
00:58:33.239 --> 00:58:37.039
<v Speaker 3>The video that I'll share, it's far from far from

1238
00:58:37.039 --> 00:58:40.000
<v Speaker 3>like a great pitch execution guy. I mean, things can

1239
00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:42.400
<v Speaker 3>get pretty loose on him at times, but yet over

1240
00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:45.559
<v Speaker 3>the course of the year, like pretty good strike throwing percentage,

1241
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:47.519
<v Speaker 3>at least the back half of the year, it really

1242
00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:50.599
<v Speaker 3>jumped up from his a ball run. Now to me,

1243
00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:55.039
<v Speaker 3>the biggest thing with him, like you said, funky, bigger lefty,

1244
00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:57.840
<v Speaker 3>that all played into me going with him here, but

1245
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:00.480
<v Speaker 3>his arsenals. I think he's mostly like a aass ball

1246
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:04.239
<v Speaker 3>change up guy. And I think the breaking ball stuff,

1247
00:59:04.280 --> 00:59:08.199
<v Speaker 3>the curveball, like I don't, it's not major league quality

1248
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:11.400
<v Speaker 3>at this juncture, so that that puts a big damper

1249
00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:14.639
<v Speaker 3>on things for me here. But you know, pitchers, they

1250
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:17.159
<v Speaker 3>can develop, they can change rather quickly. But he was

1251
00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:21.039
<v Speaker 3>also a lefty with somewhat of reverse splits. He was

1252
00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:23.719
<v Speaker 3>tougher on righties than he was lefties. That's always kind

1253
00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:25.960
<v Speaker 3>of interesting to me. So yeah, I don't know, just

1254
00:59:26.039 --> 00:59:29.159
<v Speaker 3>kind of He's definitely probably like my bottom five B

1255
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:32.039
<v Speaker 3>side arms for this year. But don't I think was

1256
00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:35.079
<v Speaker 3>without you know, some some interest to watch to see

1257
00:59:35.559 --> 00:59:38.519
<v Speaker 3>what kind of development developments may take place here, and

1258
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:41.400
<v Speaker 3>if you can get a decent breaking ball going, like uh,

1259
00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:44.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, maybe you could be a guy of notes.

1260
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's room to improve in a couple of ways.

1261
00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:48.559
<v Speaker 2>You know. Even his change up, which I think is

1262
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:51.079
<v Speaker 2>his best pitch, it's still he loses it at times.

1263
00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:53.960
<v Speaker 2>And I think when he misses with his pitches that's

1264
00:59:53.960 --> 00:59:56.480
<v Speaker 2>when they get punished. So you know, he could I

1265
00:59:56.519 --> 00:59:58.400
<v Speaker 2>could see him taking a step forward. But neither of

1266
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:01.599
<v Speaker 2>these guys screamed like, must must get for me.

1267
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:04.440
<v Speaker 3>No, But you know, Carmachri, there's just a bit of

1268
01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:07.079
<v Speaker 3>a different watch than the other guys in the system

1269
01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:12.000
<v Speaker 3>here and cut me tuned in longer, all right. The champs,

1270
01:00:12.159 --> 01:00:15.519
<v Speaker 3>the Los Angeles Dodgers can make for interesting B siding

1271
01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:18.800
<v Speaker 3>because they are so popular. Every every guy they signed

1272
01:00:19.119 --> 01:00:21.599
<v Speaker 3>their draft is a future Hall of Famer because they're

1273
01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:27.159
<v Speaker 3>just such amazing developers of talent, you know, so it

1274
01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:29.280
<v Speaker 3>can be really tough. They're just truck full of Hall

1275
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:32.920
<v Speaker 3>of famers. I do really really like the bat that

1276
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:35.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm going with here, Matt, and it's Logan Wagner.

1277
01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, co sign this is mine too?

1278
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Nice? Nice? The problem I had.

1279
01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like you're still in my thunder

1280
01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:44.679
<v Speaker 2>here because I talked about him earlier this year.

1281
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:47.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, I if you can't beat him, you

1282
01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:48.400
<v Speaker 3>join them, Matt right.

1283
01:00:48.400 --> 01:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Well plan Logan Wagner. He's really good.

1284
01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:54.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, one percent rostered in September. He was a twenty

1285
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>twenty two prep selection out of South Carolina. They took

1286
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:00.639
<v Speaker 3>him in the sixth round or six hundred. He is

1287
01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:04.440
<v Speaker 3>a switch hitting corner outfielder, first base, third base, listed

1288
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:07.280
<v Speaker 3>at six ' to one. The biggest problem that is

1289
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:08.880
<v Speaker 3>staying on the field, right.

1290
01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so what's up with this?

1291
01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Like, I don't got to say, I don't know what

1292
01:01:12.519 --> 01:01:14.840
<v Speaker 3>all the injuries are and stuff, but we're talking about

1293
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:18.119
<v Speaker 3>as a pro two years plus the post draft only

1294
01:01:18.159 --> 01:01:22.400
<v Speaker 3>two hundred and thirty seven played appearances. Yeah this year.

1295
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:25.320
<v Speaker 3>His season ended in the end of June. This is

1296
01:01:25.440 --> 01:01:28.880
<v Speaker 3>just a really good looking switch hitting bat. Dude. I

1297
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:32.960
<v Speaker 3>love absolutely the mechanics here.

1298
01:01:33.360 --> 01:01:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the knock on him other than staying on

1299
01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>the field is the strikeouts have thus far been relatively high,

1300
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:46.599
<v Speaker 2>and this is like, go out and try and get

1301
01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:49.199
<v Speaker 2>this guy. Kind of an alarm because I don't think

1302
01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:51.639
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna stay that way or if they do, it's

1303
01:01:51.679 --> 01:01:56.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna be because he's hitting absolute tanks and walking a lot.

1304
01:01:56.320 --> 01:01:59.079
<v Speaker 2>So he's he's pretty patient. Like you watch him and

1305
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>he's like he'll take borderline pitches and he at all.

1306
01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Then the guy makes a mistake because he nibbled, nibbled,

1307
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:10.199
<v Speaker 2>and now it's three to two and he'll just smash

1308
01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:13.760
<v Speaker 2>one into the gap and love his simple swing from

1309
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:17.559
<v Speaker 2>both sides. He think I have seen some ev stuff

1310
01:02:17.599 --> 01:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>on him and he's one of those like Exiblocity darlings.

1311
01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:24.800
<v Speaker 2>So like, yeah, Logan Wagner, this guy can really really hit,

1312
01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, because of the strikeouts, he's not yet like

1313
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers level popular for some reason, but he should be,

1314
01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:33.199
<v Speaker 2>he says.

1315
01:02:33.239 --> 01:02:36.519
<v Speaker 3>Healthy. Man, he's he's gonna. I feel like he could Mash.

1316
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:39.239
<v Speaker 3>I shared this in the video, Matt, but you see

1317
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:44.239
<v Speaker 3>him just destroy Herman Marquez just dead center home run

1318
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:48.480
<v Speaker 3>when Marquez was rehabbing sick. I love the look at him, man.

1319
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:51.519
<v Speaker 3>I just want to see him play more. I don't

1320
01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:53.920
<v Speaker 3>know what else there is to say. The it walks

1321
01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:57.119
<v Speaker 3>a ton, his his OBP was over four this year.

1322
01:02:57.400 --> 01:02:59.880
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing to like nitpick to me. I know, the strikeouts,

1323
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:04.639
<v Speaker 3>like let the man barely into his pro career here, Like, yeah,

1324
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:06.960
<v Speaker 3>he's when he's out there, like he's a dude on

1325
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:10.199
<v Speaker 3>that Rancho team. Man some clutch home runs. I think

1326
01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:12.039
<v Speaker 3>he had a game winner that I shared in the

1327
01:03:12.320 --> 01:03:15.519
<v Speaker 3>in the video. But uh yeah, Logan Wagner definitely one

1328
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:17.760
<v Speaker 3>of my favorite B side selections this year.

1329
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Totally co signed like this. He is a he's going

1330
01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:23.079
<v Speaker 2>to be a very very good hitter, and like we've

1331
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:26.679
<v Speaker 2>like to talk about before too, he pulls the ball

1332
01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:28.679
<v Speaker 2>and does so in the air and does it from

1333
01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:30.559
<v Speaker 2>both sides of the plate like he has an approach

1334
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:33.440
<v Speaker 2>up there and it's I'm gonna get my pitch and

1335
01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>then I'm gonna absolutely tattoo it. So yeah, this was

1336
01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:38.840
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a no brainer for me. There's some

1337
01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:42.239
<v Speaker 2>other bats in Dodger system that I think are interesting ish,

1338
01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>but Wagner is the one that's like I could see

1339
01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:46.599
<v Speaker 2>him absolutely exploding.

1340
01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:49.440
<v Speaker 3>It's popped from both sides of the plate, like I

1341
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:50.360
<v Speaker 3>don't know, yeah, oh.

1342
01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I have him in a couple of places. I think

1343
01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:55.239
<v Speaker 2>they're a couple of deep leagues. I grabbed him when

1344
01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I was starting to talk about a mid season Then

1345
01:03:57.360 --> 01:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>he got hurt and didn't play much after that, and

1346
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>so I was like, I can't profit off it at all.

1347
01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, he's one I'm happy to hold because I

1348
01:04:04.400 --> 01:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>do think there's some real, real talent there.

1349
01:04:07.119 --> 01:04:09.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Just thirty eight games this year, bummer.

1350
01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, crazy, and that's that's his high water mark. That's

1351
01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>like the most he's done in the season. Dylan Campbell,

1352
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you watched much of Dylan Campbell. Yeah,

1353
01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>he's a little bit younger. He was a younger college

1354
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>bat that got drafted out of Texas if I remember right,

1355
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:30.760
<v Speaker 2>and was I don't know, like fine in the short

1356
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:33.440
<v Speaker 2>stint after his draft year and was fine in college.

1357
01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, he was a fifth rounder like that's or

1358
01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:38.559
<v Speaker 2>maybe comp round something like that. You know, he was

1359
01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:41.280
<v Speaker 2>a decently high pick but went under the radar a

1360
01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>little bit. I think he had a solid year this year.

1361
01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Hit ten homers, stole forty two bases, struck out twenty

1362
01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:49.239
<v Speaker 2>two percent of the time, walked ten percent of the

1363
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>time all together. I mean that's just like a one

1364
01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:54.519
<v Speaker 2>or four WRC plus. And I think the impact in

1365
01:04:54.559 --> 01:04:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the bat is probably what's going to hold him back,

1366
01:04:57.000 --> 01:05:00.679
<v Speaker 2>and certainly why I would take Wagner over him. I

1367
01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>thought he was a pretty good base dealer in my looks,

1368
01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>and I wondered if there might be a little bit

1369
01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>more power if he matures. He was just twenty one

1370
01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:11.199
<v Speaker 2>this year. I think he turned twenty two at the

1371
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:13.199
<v Speaker 2>very end of the season, and that's you know. So

1372
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>he's going into his third pro season just as a

1373
01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.719
<v Speaker 2>twenty two year old, and he's likely to be in

1374
01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Double A, and I could see him putting together a

1375
01:05:21.239 --> 01:05:24.280
<v Speaker 2>solid year now what I've seen so far, probably not

1376
01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:26.239
<v Speaker 2>a big league regular. So we're looking at like a

1377
01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>fourth outfielder skill set, but some decent speed, some decent

1378
01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:32.760
<v Speaker 2>contact ability gives him a little bit of a floor.

1379
01:05:32.840 --> 01:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to shout out that I liked a

1380
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:36.760
<v Speaker 2>fair amount of Dylan Campbell this year, and if the

1381
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:39.440
<v Speaker 2>power does take a step forward, hey, maybe there's something

1382
01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:39.880
<v Speaker 2>more here.

1383
01:05:39.960 --> 01:05:43.760
<v Speaker 3>So I watched a decent amount of like Chris Newell too. Yeah. Shit,

1384
01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:46.559
<v Speaker 3>twenty five home runs, thirty one stolen bases this year

1385
01:05:46.599 --> 01:05:50.360
<v Speaker 3>between high and Double A. Shoot, if Gotthier can't get

1386
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:53.159
<v Speaker 3>major league run with these guys, somebody who strikes out

1387
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:54.920
<v Speaker 3>thirty three percent of the time ain't.

1388
01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And Gotthier wasn't quite as good this year as

1389
01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:02.679
<v Speaker 2>he was last, but still held his own, as you know,

1390
01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>triple A in triple A and I still think he's

1391
01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:08.679
<v Speaker 2>going to be a big leaguer for somebody, but probably

1392
01:06:08.920 --> 01:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>not for the Dodgers.

1393
01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Tough place to bust through here, same story on the

1394
01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:17.039
<v Speaker 3>on the arm side for the Dodgers. Tough to be

1395
01:06:17.079 --> 01:06:21.440
<v Speaker 3>a good Dodgers prospect in raster zero one percent to go.

1396
01:06:21.400 --> 01:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>With here because I actually think there are some fun

1397
01:06:23.679 --> 01:06:24.320
<v Speaker 2>ones in here.

1398
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:28.039
<v Speaker 3>There were River Rhines at the top of their popularity list,

1399
01:06:28.199 --> 01:06:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Jackson Ferris, Nick Frosso, Roubleski, Kyle Hurt, Maddox Bronze is

1400
01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:36.039
<v Speaker 3>ten percent, Peyton Martin eight percent. I thought there were

1401
01:06:36.039 --> 01:06:37.960
<v Speaker 3>a few guys. I know you were talking about Chris

1402
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Compost a little bit this year. The guy Okay, sorry,

1403
01:06:41.639 --> 01:06:44.880
<v Speaker 3>I'll say that Jared Carros was still only one percent.

1404
01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:47.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm not huge. I'm not a huge fan. Though I

1405
01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:51.000
<v Speaker 3>did like Wyatt Crowell. I don't know if you watched

1406
01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:52.039
<v Speaker 3>any of him.

1407
01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Only a little bit, what'd you like about him?

1408
01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Productive? I thought execution was pretty good. I just don't

1409
01:06:57.480 --> 01:07:00.440
<v Speaker 3>know if the whole arsenal just seems a little flat

1410
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>to me major league wise, and evidently when he was

1411
01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:06.280
<v Speaker 3>like a reliever in college at Florida State, he was

1412
01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:09.960
<v Speaker 3>hitting like ninety eight as his fastball is like ninety

1413
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:12.519
<v Speaker 3>ninety one this year, So I don't know. Maybe there's

1414
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:15.559
<v Speaker 3>some velocity to come or something. I don't know. I'm

1415
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:17.639
<v Speaker 3>not sure. He was also a guy that just first

1416
01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:20.039
<v Speaker 3>year player draft wise, I was a little interested in,

1417
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:23.239
<v Speaker 3>but I ended up going with teenager. Well, at least

1418
01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:26.000
<v Speaker 3>he was during the season. I think he's now twenty

1419
01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:28.079
<v Speaker 3>years old. They acquired him in a trade from the

1420
01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Yankees last offseason, but I went with Christians Azuweta.

1421
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I don't think I watched him.

1422
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Ooh that bottom half of my B side list here

1423
01:07:38.599 --> 01:07:41.239
<v Speaker 3>someone I'm going out and getting right away here. But

1424
01:07:41.320 --> 01:07:44.119
<v Speaker 3>you know that I love young Mexican pitchers coming out

1425
01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:46.079
<v Speaker 3>of the box because I think they just like know

1426
01:07:46.199 --> 01:07:50.159
<v Speaker 3>how to pitch as teenagers more so than Americans. Frand

1427
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:53.280
<v Speaker 3>of Max vill Velo and spin rates and all that, right,

1428
01:07:53.320 --> 01:07:55.840
<v Speaker 3>So I think there's some of that here was Azueta.

1429
01:07:55.880 --> 01:07:59.039
<v Speaker 3>He's good, size, six ' three, righty. Like I said,

1430
01:07:59.039 --> 01:08:01.239
<v Speaker 3>he came from the Yankees signed him in twenty twenty

1431
01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:04.559
<v Speaker 3>two from Mexico. He was zero percent rostered in September.

1432
01:08:04.679 --> 01:08:07.599
<v Speaker 3>This year he got just so a brief stint in

1433
01:08:07.639 --> 01:08:10.519
<v Speaker 3>the complex and then fifty two and a third innings

1434
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:13.599
<v Speaker 3>in Hia or excuse me, in a a ball rancho

1435
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:18.239
<v Speaker 3>fifty two and a third surface level numbers not real impressive, right,

1436
01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:21.000
<v Speaker 3>six point three six ERA one point four to one,

1437
01:08:21.039 --> 01:08:23.560
<v Speaker 3>whip four one five x fit. But he did strike

1438
01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:26.279
<v Speaker 3>out twenty seven point two percent of hitters while walking

1439
01:08:26.319 --> 01:08:29.159
<v Speaker 3>eight point six percent. But he too, had a pretty

1440
01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:31.159
<v Speaker 3>nice finish to the year, Matt, I think he started

1441
01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:33.880
<v Speaker 3>putting some things together his last eight game starts, which

1442
01:08:33.960 --> 01:08:36.359
<v Speaker 3>was thirty three and a third innings two point seven

1443
01:08:36.439 --> 01:08:39.159
<v Speaker 3>ERA a point nine to nine whip, struck out thirty

1444
01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:41.640
<v Speaker 3>one and a half percent of hitters walk great. Was

1445
01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:44.479
<v Speaker 3>about the same on the year as the year eight percent.

1446
01:08:44.640 --> 01:08:48.159
<v Speaker 3>Throwing strikes at a higher clip sixty three percent, gave

1447
01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:51.600
<v Speaker 3>up three home runs. But you're talking about, like I said,

1448
01:08:51.640 --> 01:08:55.199
<v Speaker 3>a good sized riiety who's probably throwing ninety two ninety three.

1449
01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:58.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking, from my takeaways from the broadcast, there's a

1450
01:08:58.920 --> 01:09:01.560
<v Speaker 3>good looking breaking ball. Well, I'm not really quite sure

1451
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:03.920
<v Speaker 3>how you would categorize it didn't get a lot of

1452
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:05.680
<v Speaker 3>vlos on the breaking ball, so that made it a

1453
01:09:05.680 --> 01:09:08.319
<v Speaker 3>little tougher. And then there's a change up. It splits.

1454
01:09:08.800 --> 01:09:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Look fine, neither side hit him up. More like just

1455
01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:15.520
<v Speaker 3>some of the intangible, intangible stuff Matt like Connor would

1456
01:09:15.520 --> 01:09:17.319
<v Speaker 3>talk about, Like, I think there's just like a high

1457
01:09:17.439 --> 01:09:20.680
<v Speaker 3>level of compete here, a lot of fiery, a lot

1458
01:09:20.720 --> 01:09:23.680
<v Speaker 3>of Like in my watches, I probably watched I don't know,

1459
01:09:24.119 --> 01:09:26.680
<v Speaker 3>six or seven outings of his like when he really

1460
01:09:26.720 --> 01:09:28.840
<v Speaker 3>needed to make a big pitch in a jam or

1461
01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:32.199
<v Speaker 3>something like, he'd rise to that occasion, he'd dot something.

1462
01:09:32.319 --> 01:09:34.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, don't hate seeing that from a young guy.

1463
01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:38.319
<v Speaker 3>But I think there's a blend, a blend of arsenal

1464
01:09:38.359 --> 01:09:41.279
<v Speaker 3>and the kind of execution that we like. I could

1465
01:09:41.319 --> 01:09:43.640
<v Speaker 3>see him taking off. The Dodgers know how to make

1466
01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:46.439
<v Speaker 3>amazing pictures, right, It's all they do. I think there's

1467
01:09:46.479 --> 01:09:49.279
<v Speaker 3>a nice piece of clay here for the Dodgers and Zazuweta.

1468
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:51.039
<v Speaker 2>The thing I like the most about him, just in

1469
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:54.600
<v Speaker 2>that short video you're shared, is I love his efficient

1470
01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:58.039
<v Speaker 2>kinetic chain. Like you see just how the trunk really

1471
01:09:58.039 --> 01:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>whips and then the arm follows like that that's a

1472
01:10:01.640 --> 01:10:06.359
<v Speaker 2>really nice version of kinetic transfer. You know, it's really

1473
01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:10.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty Yeah, well you you know who I landed on, yeah,

1474
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:13.159
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah. And this is the guy I was trying

1475
01:10:13.159 --> 01:10:15.399
<v Speaker 2>to sound the alarm on a bit early earlier in

1476
01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the year. Chris Campos is my guy here for the Dodgers.

1477
01:10:19.000 --> 01:10:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Can't remember when I was first on him. He you know,

1478
01:10:22.399 --> 01:10:24.760
<v Speaker 2>he's from the the West Coast Conference. He went to

1479
01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Saint Mary's and they've had a pretty good pipeline of

1480
01:10:27.439 --> 01:10:30.840
<v Speaker 2>solid arm talent. But interestingly, he was a two way guy.

1481
01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:33.880
<v Speaker 2>He played shortstop for them and was pretty light hitting,

1482
01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:35.920
<v Speaker 2>like I think he hit two homers in his whole

1483
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:38.920
<v Speaker 2>college career. The Dodgers, being the geniuses that they are,

1484
01:10:39.319 --> 01:10:43.279
<v Speaker 2>said put away that batsn you need to step on

1485
01:10:43.319 --> 01:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the mound and let that shortstop arm play. And I'm

1486
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:50.520
<v Speaker 2>not saying it's a direct comp And I remain still

1487
01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:54.119
<v Speaker 2>a little bit skeptical of these guys long term. I

1488
01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:57.800
<v Speaker 2>think more often these these shortstop conversions, like it takes

1489
01:10:57.840 --> 01:10:59.560
<v Speaker 2>a bit for them to figure it out. It's a

1490
01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:02.640
<v Speaker 2>bit more of a slow burn. But I think teams

1491
01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:05.479
<v Speaker 2>are getting a little bit better at identifying the guys

1492
01:11:05.479 --> 01:11:08.439
<v Speaker 2>for whom this makes sense. Two recent examples that have

1493
01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:12.319
<v Speaker 2>really kind of changed my mind about this. Lucas erseg

1494
01:11:12.479 --> 01:11:19.439
<v Speaker 2>for the then Oakland Athletics now fucking West Sacramento Athletics

1495
01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:22.359
<v Speaker 2>and then obviously traded to the Royals. But he was

1496
01:11:22.399 --> 01:11:25.399
<v Speaker 2>an infielder with a super lively arm, you know, shortstop

1497
01:11:25.439 --> 01:11:27.760
<v Speaker 2>third baseman. He could just rip it across the diamond.

1498
01:11:27.760 --> 01:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>And now he's an elite back end reliever and maybe

1499
01:11:30.720 --> 01:11:32.560
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna give him a chance to start this offseason.

1500
01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I've heard some chatter about that. And then for my

1501
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Braves Spencer Schwellenbach, he was a shortstop converted and I

1502
01:11:39.960 --> 01:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>guess like a dis Ms Schoffer too, he has a

1503
01:11:41.960 --> 01:11:45.680
<v Speaker 2>similar story. He was like a football guy and infielder

1504
01:11:45.720 --> 01:11:47.399
<v Speaker 2>and then they made him a starter. You know. With

1505
01:11:47.439 --> 01:11:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Schwellenbach in particular, that's the kind of guy who I

1506
01:11:51.119 --> 01:11:54.199
<v Speaker 2>he Chris Campos reminds me of a bit. He's not

1507
01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:57.319
<v Speaker 2>quite as big, and I think that that maybe holds

1508
01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:01.039
<v Speaker 2>him back from getting quite into that swell territory. Who

1509
01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:03.760
<v Speaker 2>was honestly phenomenal this year. Like the National League Rookie

1510
01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:06.439
<v Speaker 2>of the Year race this year was absolutely stacked, But

1511
01:12:06.520 --> 01:12:09.119
<v Speaker 2>in other years Schwellenbach. I think should Get would have

1512
01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:12.039
<v Speaker 2>gotten a real look at it, neither here nor there.

1513
01:12:12.159 --> 01:12:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Campos reminds me of him a bit in the fastball.

1514
01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Is has that nice flat action like he's a lower slot,

1515
01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>but I think he gets really good ride on it.

1516
01:12:21.840 --> 01:12:24.359
<v Speaker 2>And this is something that, to their credit, Baseball America

1517
01:12:24.399 --> 01:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>has highlighted a bit. I think that that must have

1518
01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:29.760
<v Speaker 2>been where I first saw Campos's name is on one

1519
01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:33.039
<v Speaker 2>of the Dylan White's robo scout lists, and then I

1520
01:12:33.079 --> 01:12:34.880
<v Speaker 2>watched a couple of his starts and I was like, yes,

1521
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm so into this. He gets way down the mound too.

1522
01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:41.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's listed like five ten, but he has

1523
01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:45.039
<v Speaker 2>above average extension from there and that's like I don't know. Again,

1524
01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, he's not fucking Pedro Martinez, but he reminds

1525
01:12:48.079 --> 01:12:49.439
<v Speaker 2>me a bit of that, and just like being a

1526
01:12:49.479 --> 01:12:52.239
<v Speaker 2>smaller guy getting way down the mound. Even though the

1527
01:12:52.239 --> 01:12:55.560
<v Speaker 2>fastball isn't elite in velocity, with the way that he

1528
01:12:55.600 --> 01:12:58.760
<v Speaker 2>places it at the top of the zone, the IVB

1529
01:12:58.920 --> 01:13:01.800
<v Speaker 2>that he generates, this is a plus pitch for me,

1530
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:04.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe bordering on plus plus. Like I think that if

1531
01:13:04.800 --> 01:13:06.840
<v Speaker 2>this thing sits at ninety four. He's just going to

1532
01:13:06.920 --> 01:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>destroy hitters with it consistently. His change up I really

1533
01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:13.399
<v Speaker 2>like as a secondary and so you know how I'm

1534
01:13:13.439 --> 01:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>a sucker for that. And I think the thing for

1535
01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:18.560
<v Speaker 2>me that is holding him back from being like a

1536
01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:21.439
<v Speaker 2>thirty percent strikeout rate in the miners guy and like

1537
01:13:21.600 --> 01:13:25.560
<v Speaker 2>in consistent walk or low walk rates. The cut slider

1538
01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>thing that he has. I kind of think he should

1539
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:29.960
<v Speaker 2>turn that into two pitches. I think that if he

1540
01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:33.119
<v Speaker 2>made like with guys with this kind of ride, if

1541
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:36.520
<v Speaker 2>they get a cutter too, that's just murder. Like that's

1542
01:13:36.600 --> 01:13:39.560
<v Speaker 2>just like soft contact for days, and then that fastball

1543
01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:42.199
<v Speaker 2>just explodes by guys. I mean, it's almost like a

1544
01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:44.920
<v Speaker 2>version of Jose Gonzalez who we talked about last week, right,

1545
01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Like he's like a cutter first guy, and then the

1546
01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:50.399
<v Speaker 2>four seam explodes out of it and they just can't

1547
01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>touch it at the top of the zone. But I

1548
01:13:51.920 --> 01:13:55.119
<v Speaker 2>feel like if Composts had the cutter, like really tightened

1549
01:13:55.199 --> 01:13:57.880
<v Speaker 2>up what is currently his slider and then also had

1550
01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:00.159
<v Speaker 2>more of like a sweeper to go with it, I

1551
01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:03.119
<v Speaker 2>think he would just destroy No one would be able

1552
01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:05.880
<v Speaker 2>to know what was coming. He would raise his strike

1553
01:14:05.880 --> 01:14:08.039
<v Speaker 2>at rate from like the you know, twenty six, twenty

1554
01:14:08.039 --> 01:14:10.560
<v Speaker 2>seven percent that it's been sitting at pushing thirty. So

1555
01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:14.399
<v Speaker 2>to me, Compost is a really good pitcher with that sneaky,

1556
01:14:14.399 --> 01:14:17.199
<v Speaker 2>sneaky good stuff. Like it's not you know, Jacob Mazarowski

1557
01:14:17.439 --> 01:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>one hundred miles an hour every time. It's like, you know,

1558
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:24.239
<v Speaker 2>Logan Henderson type of elite fastball with a great secondary

1559
01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:28.199
<v Speaker 2>and potential if he adds one pitch or keeps tightening

1560
01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:31.359
<v Speaker 2>up the execution. I believe in Chris Campos as much

1561
01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:33.800
<v Speaker 2>as any any starter that I saw this year, So

1562
01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:37.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm super excited about him. I feel very, very bullish

1563
01:14:37.159 --> 01:14:40.520
<v Speaker 2>about him, and I definitely hear you on the Dodger stuff,

1564
01:14:40.560 --> 01:14:43.920
<v Speaker 2>like they get overrated on some of the like everything

1565
01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:47.119
<v Speaker 2>they touch turns to magic kind of deal. But they

1566
01:14:47.399 --> 01:14:50.399
<v Speaker 2>they are smart and they're really good at a lot

1567
01:14:50.439 --> 01:14:53.479
<v Speaker 2>of parts of the game, and developing pictures does seem

1568
01:14:53.520 --> 01:14:55.439
<v Speaker 2>to be one of them. I mean a lot of

1569
01:14:55.439 --> 01:14:57.680
<v Speaker 2>times that just means the pitcher breaks really fast, and

1570
01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.159
<v Speaker 2>they just have so many of them that they can

1571
01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:02.279
<v Speaker 2>run out twenty guys that all could play in the

1572
01:15:02.279 --> 01:15:05.239
<v Speaker 2>major leagues. But Compost, to me, he's one of those guys.

1573
01:15:05.560 --> 01:15:07.439
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna pitch them innings for the major leagues and

1574
01:15:07.560 --> 01:15:10.159
<v Speaker 2>he could even break into a rotation like the Dodgers.

1575
01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm way in on Chris Campos, and I think he's

1576
01:15:13.479 --> 01:15:15.520
<v Speaker 2>poised to be a big gainer next year.

1577
01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:18.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you were. I mean, you definitely got my attention

1578
01:15:18.079 --> 01:15:20.199
<v Speaker 3>when you were talking about Campos this year. I was

1579
01:15:20.239 --> 01:15:20.800
<v Speaker 3>turning them on.

1580
01:15:21.039 --> 01:15:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1581
01:15:21.279 --> 01:15:23.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, just like with the Dodgers, it's like, oh,

1582
01:15:23.600 --> 01:15:26.000
<v Speaker 3>they developed so many good players, and it's like, I

1583
01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:30.960
<v Speaker 3>don't think the story really fits, like do they develop,

1584
01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Like they're very much and I'm not knacking them and

1585
01:15:34.279 --> 01:15:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm not knacking this process. But it's more about the

1586
01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:41.359
<v Speaker 3>talent that they decide to corral and bring in. To me,

1587
01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:44.199
<v Speaker 3>like they put a lot of resources into what they do.

1588
01:15:44.399 --> 01:15:48.359
<v Speaker 3>They're world class, no doubt that ipopping stuff on spreadsheets

1589
01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:50.439
<v Speaker 3>and let's get those guys in and hope for the best.

1590
01:15:50.600 --> 01:15:53.319
<v Speaker 3>And to me, that's kind of the opposite of development.

1591
01:15:53.439 --> 01:15:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Are they really helping those guys develop into good pitch

1592
01:15:56.760 --> 01:16:01.319
<v Speaker 3>execution guys? I wouldn't say so in my opinion. To me,

1593
01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:05.199
<v Speaker 3>pitching development would be more of the opposite. These days,

1594
01:16:05.239 --> 01:16:08.359
<v Speaker 3>you're taking guys and maybe have high pitchability, but maybe

1595
01:16:08.399 --> 01:16:10.119
<v Speaker 3>don't have the stuff and then you teach them the

1596
01:16:10.159 --> 01:16:13.199
<v Speaker 3>pitches or sharpen those tools. Right, I don't know, It's

1597
01:16:13.239 --> 01:16:16.439
<v Speaker 3>just a different approach. And I just feel like the

1598
01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:19.000
<v Speaker 3>accolades that they get for all of that is just

1599
01:16:19.039 --> 01:16:21.680
<v Speaker 3>a little bit backwards from my perspective.

1600
01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think to your point when they did

1601
01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:27.479
<v Speaker 2>the graph and the World Series of where how were

1602
01:16:27.520 --> 01:16:29.760
<v Speaker 2>these teams built? You know, how they do that? You know,

1603
01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:35.159
<v Speaker 2>international draft and free agent signings, Like the Dodgers had

1604
01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:38.119
<v Speaker 2>a huge amount from free agent signings.

1605
01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:40.560
<v Speaker 3>They had like three guys on the World Series team

1606
01:16:40.760 --> 01:16:44.279
<v Speaker 3>that were like Dodger picks or signees and developed by

1607
01:16:44.279 --> 01:16:46.279
<v Speaker 3>them or but came up with them.

1608
01:16:46.479 --> 01:16:48.359
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, and some of those guys, you know, pitch

1609
01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:50.920
<v Speaker 2>super importantatings, like Walker Bueler closed it out and he's

1610
01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:53.319
<v Speaker 2>a he's a tricky and sure all that, but like

1611
01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>also he was a stud in college and like I'm

1612
01:16:55.880 --> 01:16:58.279
<v Speaker 2>sure you know he was. He was super well regarded.

1613
01:16:58.359 --> 01:17:01.279
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, and huge kudos to them because they do

1614
01:17:01.359 --> 01:17:05.239
<v Speaker 3>have a wealth of good talent in their system because

1615
01:17:05.319 --> 01:17:06.960
<v Speaker 3>they put the time in, they put the work in,

1616
01:17:07.079 --> 01:17:08.920
<v Speaker 3>they do it and I think they do a great

1617
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:11.880
<v Speaker 3>job of then flipping that into assets that they need.

1618
01:17:11.920 --> 01:17:14.279
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's not a knock on them, that's yea,

1619
01:17:14.520 --> 01:17:17.560
<v Speaker 3>quite the opposite. It's just not everything that they touch

1620
01:17:17.640 --> 01:17:18.439
<v Speaker 3>turns to gold.

1621
01:17:19.239 --> 01:17:22.439
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, let's let's go down to down I

1622
01:17:22.560 --> 01:17:25.399
<v Speaker 2>five a little bit further. And what do you got

1623
01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:29.199
<v Speaker 2>going on in San Diego? I mean, fucking aj Preller

1624
01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:32.800
<v Speaker 2>sells anything not nailed down. I don't know how many

1625
01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:35.640
<v Speaker 2>prospects he's traded in his tenure, but it's a lot.

1626
01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:39.079
<v Speaker 2>And oh no, there's still some interesting cats here. Who

1627
01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:40.720
<v Speaker 2>did you who were you intrigued by?

1628
01:17:40.880 --> 01:17:43.640
<v Speaker 3>I feel like they I think the Padres too do

1629
01:17:43.760 --> 01:17:47.520
<v Speaker 3>a really good job of identifying talent and bringing talent in.

1630
01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Like they're always selling their prospects, but yet there's always

1631
01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:54.600
<v Speaker 3>guys that are like showing up too and filling and

1632
01:17:54.640 --> 01:17:56.600
<v Speaker 3>they sold all their big names and then it's just

1633
01:17:56.640 --> 01:17:59.640
<v Speaker 3>a year later, B side type guys are now names

1634
01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:02.800
<v Speaker 3>and there's system. But I went my arm is really

1635
01:18:03.279 --> 01:18:05.840
<v Speaker 3>kind of go back and forth a lot if I

1636
01:18:05.920 --> 01:18:08.560
<v Speaker 3>how much I like him, If I like him, he

1637
01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:11.439
<v Speaker 3>was only one percent roster, but yet he's still like

1638
01:18:11.640 --> 01:18:14.600
<v Speaker 3>pipelines number seven on their list, Like, I know it's

1639
01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:19.000
<v Speaker 3>been thinned out. Young Henry Biaz, Yeah, twenty one years

1640
01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:22.800
<v Speaker 3>old this year, pitching what seventy six innings in High

1641
01:18:22.840 --> 01:18:26.520
<v Speaker 3>A and fifty innings in Double A. Righty six '

1642
01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:30.199
<v Speaker 3>three wiry, not real big guy at this point twenty

1643
01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:33.800
<v Speaker 3>nineteen siney from the Dominican. One of these guys who

1644
01:18:34.319 --> 01:18:38.520
<v Speaker 3>maybe you read just like velocity numbers or pitch grades,

1645
01:18:38.920 --> 01:18:41.439
<v Speaker 3>like on that sort of surface level, you're like, oh,

1646
01:18:41.479 --> 01:18:43.479
<v Speaker 3>this guy sounds pretty good, but then you like look

1647
01:18:43.479 --> 01:18:46.640
<v Speaker 3>at the strikeout numbers or kind of underwhelming, right, I

1648
01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:49.800
<v Speaker 3>mean struck out twenty four point eight percent in High A,

1649
01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:54.159
<v Speaker 3>only fifteen percent during his nine starts in Double A,

1650
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:57.439
<v Speaker 3>walks are under eight percent. But it's this guy who's

1651
01:18:57.479 --> 01:19:00.439
<v Speaker 3>like velocity wise, can hit like ninety seven, right. I

1652
01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:03.159
<v Speaker 3>think he's a three fastball guy. He's got a breaker,

1653
01:19:03.239 --> 01:19:05.439
<v Speaker 3>he's got to change up. I think he does well

1654
01:19:05.520 --> 01:19:07.960
<v Speaker 3>keeping the four seamer up and the two seam are down.

1655
01:19:08.319 --> 01:19:10.880
<v Speaker 3>He might be one of these rare guys. As the

1656
01:19:11.000 --> 01:19:16.039
<v Speaker 3>outing progresses, his velocity increases. Notice that on several of

1657
01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:19.159
<v Speaker 3>his starts he start off ninety one ninety two and

1658
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:22.600
<v Speaker 3>then we're hit talking ninety five inning three and four,

1659
01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:25.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, don't see that often. He's got a change

1660
01:19:25.359 --> 01:19:28.000
<v Speaker 3>up that I think has really good velocity separation.

1661
01:19:28.319 --> 01:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was more of a splitter, isn't it.

1662
01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:30.279
<v Speaker 3>What's that?

1663
01:19:30.439 --> 01:19:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was more of like a split and

1664
01:19:32.239 --> 01:19:33.159
<v Speaker 2>he has splitter.

1665
01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Gay, Yeah, yeah, it's a split change I think.

1666
01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:37.319
<v Speaker 2>Change yeah, yeah, yeah.

1667
01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I feel like sometimes when I watch him, I feel

1668
01:19:39.640 --> 01:19:42.159
<v Speaker 3>like he's like really close to the type of guy

1669
01:19:42.479 --> 01:19:45.319
<v Speaker 3>that we like, you know, lots of offerings, mixes it

1670
01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:48.720
<v Speaker 3>up just ultimately just like it's it's not cleaned up

1671
01:19:48.800 --> 01:19:51.359
<v Speaker 3>real well. I don't think he's like the most efficient.

1672
01:19:51.399 --> 01:19:54.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he really knows how to pitch yet.

1673
01:19:54.520 --> 01:19:58.560
<v Speaker 3>Sequence well, maybe the offerings don't come out of the

1674
01:19:58.600 --> 01:20:01.880
<v Speaker 3>hand looking aler enough in the beginning. I don't know,

1675
01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:04.760
<v Speaker 3>but it's like there's ingredients herely like this guy should

1676
01:20:04.840 --> 01:20:07.800
<v Speaker 3>be better than at least producing better than I think

1677
01:20:07.840 --> 01:20:09.880
<v Speaker 3>he is. And I'm not saying that he was bad.

1678
01:20:09.920 --> 01:20:12.399
<v Speaker 3>I think he was very impressive for a young arm

1679
01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:16.439
<v Speaker 3>I guess he did have a double digit strikeout performance,

1680
01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:20.399
<v Speaker 3>but only one on the season, like a lot strikeouts

1681
01:20:20.439 --> 01:20:25.399
<v Speaker 3>in six innings four two four did have one at seven,

1682
01:20:25.720 --> 01:20:28.000
<v Speaker 3>a seven inning outing where he struck out four. Like,

1683
01:20:28.039 --> 01:20:32.119
<v Speaker 3>the strikeouts just aren't there. I don't know what you

1684
01:20:32.359 --> 01:20:35.439
<v Speaker 3>want to make of that, but I know the Padres

1685
01:20:35.640 --> 01:20:37.880
<v Speaker 3>might be a little bit more tough, loving on their

1686
01:20:37.920 --> 01:20:40.439
<v Speaker 3>pitchers and kind of figure it out, you know. But

1687
01:20:40.520 --> 01:20:44.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, this thinned out system, they're already pushing some

1688
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:46.760
<v Speaker 3>young guys up and that's just kind of how the

1689
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:49.760
<v Speaker 3>Padres do it. But I wouldn't be surprised if Henry

1690
01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:52.640
<v Speaker 3>Biaz put it together in twenty twenty five, had a

1691
01:20:52.640 --> 01:20:55.399
<v Speaker 3>big year, big numbers, being young in the uppers and

1692
01:20:55.439 --> 01:20:57.680
<v Speaker 3>gets a lot more popular. I'm kind of surprised he's

1693
01:20:57.720 --> 01:20:59.359
<v Speaker 3>not rostered more than he is right now.

1694
01:20:59.479 --> 01:21:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's probably the strikeouts, And to me,

1695
01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:06.720
<v Speaker 2>it's his secondaries don't really get the whiffs. Like his

1696
01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:10.079
<v Speaker 2>fastball I think might not be quite the prettiest in

1697
01:21:10.159 --> 01:21:12.920
<v Speaker 2>terms of shape, and so even though the velocity is there,

1698
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:16.319
<v Speaker 2>it's more like generates foul balls and some weaker contact

1699
01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:18.279
<v Speaker 2>rather than being a whiff pitch. And so then you

1700
01:21:18.359 --> 01:21:20.239
<v Speaker 2>really got to lean on the off speed. And I

1701
01:21:20.239 --> 01:21:23.520
<v Speaker 2>think his curveball is not good and the splitter, to me,

1702
01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:26.960
<v Speaker 2>split change I think it's pretty good, but it's not

1703
01:21:27.079 --> 01:21:30.039
<v Speaker 2>quite as nasty as some and so like he can't

1704
01:21:30.039 --> 01:21:32.359
<v Speaker 2>finish guys, and he's a good pitcher.

1705
01:21:32.640 --> 01:21:35.479
<v Speaker 3>I like him the time of a guy who might

1706
01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:37.640
<v Speaker 3>not have the greatest tools or ability to use the

1707
01:21:37.680 --> 01:21:39.479
<v Speaker 3>tools right now. And you're still talking about a twenty

1708
01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:41.920
<v Speaker 3>one year old who had a er just over three

1709
01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:44.159
<v Speaker 3>in Double A and a one point one four whip

1710
01:21:44.159 --> 01:21:47.640
<v Speaker 3>in Double A. It's not like he isn't getting results,

1711
01:21:47.680 --> 01:21:51.199
<v Speaker 3>just maybe not the results that fantasy owners are after.

1712
01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:54.159
<v Speaker 2>No, I like him a decent amount, and find something

1713
01:21:54.199 --> 01:21:56.880
<v Speaker 2>that whiffs just a few more bats than he'd be

1714
01:21:56.920 --> 01:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>really interesting for sure.

1715
01:21:58.119 --> 01:22:00.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he is a rule flave eligible. I don't

1716
01:22:00.319 --> 01:22:02.239
<v Speaker 3>think he's been added to the forty man yet. I

1717
01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:05.079
<v Speaker 3>imagine he's going to be, though, right I would think.

1718
01:22:05.199 --> 01:22:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Maybe I think they've got some room.

1719
01:22:08.039 --> 01:22:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what their plan is. I mean, the

1720
01:22:09.920 --> 01:22:12.920
<v Speaker 2>thing about the Padres is that their major league rotation

1721
01:22:13.279 --> 01:22:17.119
<v Speaker 2>and pitching staff is pretty good, but it's like super shallow,

1722
01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:19.560
<v Speaker 2>and when those guys get hurt, there's not a lot

1723
01:22:19.600 --> 01:22:22.079
<v Speaker 2>of depth behind it, and so maybe they at him

1724
01:22:22.119 --> 01:22:23.199
<v Speaker 2>for that reason.

1725
01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's kind of frustrating to watch, frustrating to sort

1726
01:22:27.119 --> 01:22:28.279
<v Speaker 3>of analyze too.

1727
01:22:28.359 --> 01:22:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, I get what you're saying. My guy

1728
01:22:31.359 --> 01:22:35.079
<v Speaker 2>has some things in common. I feel like he's kind

1729
01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:37.920
<v Speaker 2>of Henry Bias. Well, you know, he's different in lots

1730
01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of ways. I'm going with Omar Cruz, who the Padres

1731
01:22:42.840 --> 01:22:50.119
<v Speaker 2>got from the Yankees, oh, Pittsburgh. They drafted him, then

1732
01:22:50.439 --> 01:22:52.880
<v Speaker 2>traded him in the Joe musker of deal to Pittsburgh,

1733
01:22:52.920 --> 01:22:56.239
<v Speaker 2>and then rule fived him back last year, and he's

1734
01:22:56.279 --> 01:22:59.760
<v Speaker 2>had an interesting route. I would be so all in

1735
01:23:00.199 --> 01:23:04.199
<v Speaker 2>on Omar Cruz if I wasn't pretty sure they're just

1736
01:23:04.239 --> 01:23:06.600
<v Speaker 2>going to stick him in the pen next year. They're

1737
01:23:06.760 --> 01:23:09.600
<v Speaker 2>really kind of telegraphing that they want to use him

1738
01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:13.920
<v Speaker 2>as a maybe two inning reliever rather than start him.

1739
01:23:14.239 --> 01:23:17.119
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not so sure that's the right move. Like,

1740
01:23:17.279 --> 01:23:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I think this guy can be a starter. But like

1741
01:23:19.600 --> 01:23:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I said, maybe they're full up in the rotation and

1742
01:23:21.960 --> 01:23:25.279
<v Speaker 2>they want another pretty good arm in the pen. So

1743
01:23:25.439 --> 01:23:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Omar Cruz, left handed, you know, six foot two ten,

1744
01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:32.840
<v Speaker 2>athletic looking guy on the mound, has I think pretty

1745
01:23:32.840 --> 01:23:36.239
<v Speaker 2>good shape to his fastball. It's for seem it's a

1746
01:23:36.319 --> 01:23:39.960
<v Speaker 2>little bit lower slot, not like exceptionally low, but from

1747
01:23:40.000 --> 01:23:43.439
<v Speaker 2>where it is, I think that it gets more ride

1748
01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:46.680
<v Speaker 2>than hitters expect. So even when he's sitting ninety two

1749
01:23:46.760 --> 01:23:48.319
<v Speaker 2>to four, which is kind of what he is when

1750
01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:51.960
<v Speaker 2>he's starting, the fastball gets fouled off or get he

1751
01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:53.479
<v Speaker 2>gets whiffs at the top of the zone with it.

1752
01:23:53.520 --> 01:23:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I think that that fastball can play at that velocity.

1753
01:23:56.359 --> 01:23:58.720
<v Speaker 2>But when he's in relief, the thing is is that

1754
01:23:58.760 --> 01:24:01.880
<v Speaker 2>ticks up to like ninety s and then it's a

1755
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:05.119
<v Speaker 2>real weapon. And I feel like that's what the Padres

1756
01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:07.279
<v Speaker 2>are going to do with him, because I also really

1757
01:24:07.359 --> 01:24:10.239
<v Speaker 2>like his change up in his curveball. His curveball not

1758
01:24:10.279 --> 01:24:12.399
<v Speaker 2>a huge WI pitch, but gets a lot of ground

1759
01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:14.439
<v Speaker 2>balls out of it, and I really like his change up.

1760
01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's a solid pitch that can get out.

1761
01:24:18.159 --> 01:24:20.920
<v Speaker 2>We'll have innings where he just loses his command and

1762
01:24:21.159 --> 01:24:24.720
<v Speaker 2>walks a couple of guys. And the walk rate wasn't

1763
01:24:24.760 --> 01:24:28.840
<v Speaker 2>good unfortunately this year at triple A for about half

1764
01:24:28.880 --> 01:24:31.800
<v Speaker 2>his season, terrible walk rate of thirteen point eight percent,

1765
01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Like that's untenable for a starter. And even though he

1766
01:24:34.560 --> 01:24:36.920
<v Speaker 2>was striking out twenty eight point seven percent of batters,

1767
01:24:37.119 --> 01:24:39.319
<v Speaker 2>that kind of walk rate like has me really really

1768
01:24:39.359 --> 01:24:42.079
<v Speaker 2>concerned that it's not going to play at the Biggs.

1769
01:24:42.119 --> 01:24:44.399
<v Speaker 2>And maybe some of that was you could chuck some

1770
01:24:44.439 --> 01:24:46.760
<v Speaker 2>of it up to the automated zone and whatever. But

1771
01:24:46.920 --> 01:24:50.000
<v Speaker 2>he's run walk rates like that before, so it's it's

1772
01:24:50.039 --> 01:24:52.159
<v Speaker 2>not out of the question for him. And I think

1773
01:24:52.159 --> 01:24:53.920
<v Speaker 2>it's the other reason that's kind of holding him back

1774
01:24:53.920 --> 01:24:57.439
<v Speaker 2>from starting. But we've seen stretches of him when he

1775
01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:00.800
<v Speaker 2>is commanding his pitch as well. His run at Double

1776
01:25:00.840 --> 01:25:03.800
<v Speaker 2>A this year was fantastic. He had a couple of

1777
01:25:03.840 --> 01:25:06.399
<v Speaker 2>starts in Triple A, not not even starts, but like

1778
01:25:06.479 --> 01:25:09.000
<v Speaker 2>piggyback three four innings at a time that were really

1779
01:25:09.039 --> 01:25:12.319
<v Speaker 2>really good. I still think that this guy could start

1780
01:25:12.399 --> 01:25:15.680
<v Speaker 2>for a major league team. Maybe another team wants to

1781
01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:17.600
<v Speaker 2>try and rule five him again because I think he's

1782
01:25:17.680 --> 01:25:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Rule five eligible again this year. But I also think

1783
01:25:20.760 --> 01:25:23.800
<v Speaker 2>that the Padres might very well pop him on the

1784
01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:26.800
<v Speaker 2>roster and use him out of the pen. So yeah,

1785
01:25:26.920 --> 01:25:30.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big fan. I feel like he's had kind

1786
01:25:30.199 --> 01:25:31.640
<v Speaker 2>of a roller coaster career.

1787
01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Matt, I don't know if you've looked at this already,

1788
01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:38.359
<v Speaker 3>but if you haven't, I'd say there's no way that

1789
01:25:38.479 --> 01:25:42.319
<v Speaker 3>you can name the three most rastered pitching prospects from

1790
01:25:42.399 --> 01:25:46.800
<v Speaker 3>this organization and it's at five percent and two percent

1791
01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:51.159
<v Speaker 3>got to be the least owned, least rastered a pod

1792
01:25:51.319 --> 01:25:52.880
<v Speaker 3>system in the big.

1793
01:25:52.800 --> 01:25:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Because they traded so many of them. Right, Well, I'm

1794
01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:58.600
<v Speaker 2>going to say, is Johnny Brido on your list?

1795
01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:00.439
<v Speaker 3>He's not a prospect anymore?

1796
01:26:00.520 --> 01:26:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I guess not.

1797
01:26:01.479 --> 01:26:04.479
<v Speaker 3>Jackson Wolf, Jackson Wolf is one of them, yes, at

1798
01:26:04.479 --> 01:26:04.960
<v Speaker 3>two percent.

1799
01:26:05.039 --> 01:26:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Jagger Haynes not one of them.

1800
01:26:07.439 --> 01:26:10.079
<v Speaker 3>No, No, And actually I'm not even sure if the

1801
01:26:10.119 --> 01:26:13.399
<v Speaker 3>five percenter is a prospect. I'm sure he is because

1802
01:26:13.399 --> 01:26:16.199
<v Speaker 3>I left him on the list. But Jay Groom.

1803
01:26:16.520 --> 01:26:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Room Yeah yeah, yeah, I don't.

1804
01:26:18.079 --> 01:26:20.359
<v Speaker 3>Even know if he pitched last year? Did he didn't?

1805
01:26:20.359 --> 01:26:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Something happen to him? Yeah, yeah, what happened?

1806
01:26:23.920 --> 01:26:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't I forget the story. But it was another

1807
01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:28.840
<v Speaker 2>like he's had a fairly long line of incidents.

1808
01:26:29.159 --> 01:26:30.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that good.

1809
01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Another one yeah, not good.

1810
01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:36.840
<v Speaker 3>No, he's like he's behavioral something right, Yeah, okay, so

1811
01:26:36.920 --> 01:26:40.119
<v Speaker 3>take him off the list then maybe wow. But the

1812
01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:41.920
<v Speaker 3>the other one, the third one, is the guy that

1813
01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:44.439
<v Speaker 3>I really like a lot and could have picked here,

1814
01:26:44.479 --> 01:26:46.520
<v Speaker 3>but felt like that was cheating a little bit, but

1815
01:26:46.680 --> 01:26:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Victor Lizarraga.

1816
01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1817
01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:50.720
<v Speaker 3>The other guy who I like that out of the

1818
01:26:50.720 --> 01:26:52.640
<v Speaker 3>box is a young Mexican arm, but.

1819
01:26:52.640 --> 01:26:55.119
<v Speaker 2>An Austin Krapp, my guy from last year. He wasn't

1820
01:26:55.199 --> 01:26:57.600
<v Speaker 2>quite as good at limiting walks this year as he

1821
01:26:57.720 --> 01:27:00.319
<v Speaker 2>was last, but he still had a decent year double

1822
01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:03.039
<v Speaker 2>a and I'm still I'm still interested in him as

1823
01:27:03.079 --> 01:27:06.319
<v Speaker 2>as a depth kind of maybe fifth starter upside, but

1824
01:27:06.520 --> 01:27:07.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll see.

1825
01:27:07.079 --> 01:27:10.239
<v Speaker 3>And my pick last year was Isaiah Weo. He hasn't

1826
01:27:10.359 --> 01:27:12.840
<v Speaker 3>quite put it together like I was hoping. It might

1827
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:15.840
<v Speaker 3>be more relievery than I had hoped, but he's like

1828
01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:16.600
<v Speaker 3>at one percent.

1829
01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, okay last year. Yeah, yeah, I.

1830
01:27:18.840 --> 01:27:22.119
<v Speaker 3>Think it still hasn't it still hasn't loved a ton

1831
01:27:22.159 --> 01:27:25.439
<v Speaker 3>of pro innings yet, yeah, full season innings yet. So

1832
01:27:25.600 --> 01:27:28.560
<v Speaker 3>we shall see. But an interesting system in that there's

1833
01:27:29.039 --> 01:27:32.159
<v Speaker 3>no dynasty love here at the moment anyways.

1834
01:27:32.239 --> 01:27:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, we'll see.

1835
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:36.119
<v Speaker 3>What some of their first year player draft arms might too.

1836
01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:38.039
<v Speaker 3>But Matt the bat side, I don't think it'd be.

1837
01:27:38.119 --> 01:27:40.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's going to be a huge surprise

1838
01:27:40.159 --> 01:27:42.760
<v Speaker 3>to you. It's also not a guy that I'm like

1839
01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:45.359
<v Speaker 3>super in love with or anything like that. He's on

1840
01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:47.279
<v Speaker 3>the bottom half of my list. But I'm going with

1841
01:27:47.439 --> 01:27:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Romeo Sanabria.

1842
01:27:48.800 --> 01:27:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I figured.

1843
01:27:49.800 --> 01:27:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he was one percent rostered in September talking about

1844
01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:56.119
<v Speaker 3>a left handed first base type and not the most

1845
01:27:56.119 --> 01:27:59.680
<v Speaker 3>physically impressive guy on the planet either. Is not that

1846
01:28:00.119 --> 01:28:04.159
<v Speaker 3>he's like not in shape. I don't know if my

1847
01:28:04.239 --> 01:28:08.520
<v Speaker 3>man has been hitting any weights ever, but he can

1848
01:28:08.680 --> 01:28:11.199
<v Speaker 3>swing the bats. So twenty one year old who made

1849
01:28:11.199 --> 01:28:13.680
<v Speaker 3>it from Low A to Double A last year. Yeah,

1850
01:28:13.680 --> 01:28:15.560
<v Speaker 3>he's in the AFL right now. I don't think he's

1851
01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:19.439
<v Speaker 3>doing anything too remarkable. Listed at six three, eighteenth round

1852
01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:24.039
<v Speaker 3>Juco pick in twenty twenty two. Doesn't slug a ton, Matt.

1853
01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:27.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about power and slug and that sort

1854
01:28:27.359 --> 01:28:29.479
<v Speaker 3>of thing. Eleven home runs on the whole season as

1855
01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:34.159
<v Speaker 3>a first base type, like, eh, not that much fun, Yeah,

1856
01:28:34.239 --> 01:28:37.279
<v Speaker 3>but does make a lot of contact and did go

1857
01:28:37.359 --> 01:28:40.520
<v Speaker 3>on a pretty dang good heater when he first got

1858
01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:43.960
<v Speaker 3>brought up to double A. Matt I cut up his

1859
01:28:43.960 --> 01:28:46.359
<v Speaker 3>first twenty two double A hits. That's what I shared

1860
01:28:46.399 --> 01:28:49.479
<v Speaker 3>in the video. Now, of course there's babbit love there

1861
01:28:49.760 --> 01:28:52.000
<v Speaker 3>and whatnot. I don't even know what it was. Twenty

1862
01:28:52.000 --> 01:28:55.039
<v Speaker 3>two he was like twenty two for thirty seven or

1863
01:28:55.039 --> 01:28:57.359
<v Speaker 3>something like that to start double A. But you know,

1864
01:28:57.399 --> 01:28:59.720
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't you know, it didn't strike out too too much.

1865
01:29:00.439 --> 01:29:03.239
<v Speaker 3>It jumps him when he got to double A, walked

1866
01:29:03.279 --> 01:29:05.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot. I don't know, Maybe he has a chance

1867
01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:09.000
<v Speaker 3>as a left handed platoon at some point. He's not

1868
01:29:09.239 --> 01:29:11.880
<v Speaker 3>very good against the lefties, so I don't know, very

1869
01:29:11.920 --> 01:29:15.800
<v Speaker 3>ho hum, don't super love it, but maybe Santa Bria's

1870
01:29:15.800 --> 01:29:17.439
<v Speaker 3>got a major league chance at some point.

1871
01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's got a fun, a fun swing, and I

1872
01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:22.600
<v Speaker 2>definitely considered him. You know. The lack of impact in

1873
01:29:22.640 --> 01:29:24.760
<v Speaker 2>the bats probably the thing that holds him back. But

1874
01:29:24.800 --> 01:29:26.880
<v Speaker 2>he did rope thirty doubles and so maybe some of

1875
01:29:26.920 --> 01:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>those turn into some homers at higher levels. But I

1876
01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:30.840
<v Speaker 2>mean a decent hitter.

1877
01:29:30.920 --> 01:29:33.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, one hundred and thirty six played appearances in double

1878
01:29:33.159 --> 01:29:35.960
<v Speaker 3>A Slash two seventy with a three seventy five on

1879
01:29:36.039 --> 01:29:38.239
<v Speaker 3>base percentage, But that came with a three thirty three

1880
01:29:38.279 --> 01:29:42.439
<v Speaker 3>slug you know, point zero six three ISO for that stretch.

1881
01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:44.960
<v Speaker 3>So yep, you know, if Santa Bria shows up and

1882
01:29:45.000 --> 01:29:47.199
<v Speaker 3>there's the best shape of his life. Tweet at the

1883
01:29:47.199 --> 01:29:49.039
<v Speaker 3>beginning of the year I'll take a little note to

1884
01:29:49.119 --> 01:29:51.239
<v Speaker 3>that and be a little bit more excited about that

1885
01:29:51.439 --> 01:29:53.159
<v Speaker 3>than most other players.

1886
01:29:53.359 --> 01:29:56.119
<v Speaker 2>I can't fault you for taking Santa Bria. I think

1887
01:29:56.119 --> 01:29:59.760
<v Speaker 2>he's the smart money pick here. There's no tier so

1888
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Ornellis this year, who was, like I thought, just the

1889
01:30:03.319 --> 01:30:07.640
<v Speaker 2>slam dunkiest of slam dunks. Last year. I went with

1890
01:30:08.239 --> 01:30:10.680
<v Speaker 2>a total shot in the dark, like I have no

1891
01:30:10.760 --> 01:30:12.840
<v Speaker 2>idea if this guy's actually any good at all. I'm

1892
01:30:12.880 --> 01:30:14.279
<v Speaker 2>going Brendan Durfy.

1893
01:30:15.319 --> 01:30:17.760
<v Speaker 3>You were talking about Deming last week and how I

1894
01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:21.319
<v Speaker 3>thought Beck was beck was actually talking about Brendan Durfy.

1895
01:30:21.600 --> 01:30:26.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh no way, Oh okay, he was talking about yeah, yeah, okay,

1896
01:30:26.520 --> 01:30:28.840
<v Speaker 3>well either way, so you guys both got there.

1897
01:30:30.680 --> 01:30:34.439
<v Speaker 2>That's funny. Yeah, you know. Durfy was like a fine

1898
01:30:34.560 --> 01:30:37.520
<v Speaker 2>college catcher. Ended up at UCSB. I think he was

1899
01:30:37.640 --> 01:30:40.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe at a JC before that, and he was okay,

1900
01:30:40.359 --> 01:30:43.039
<v Speaker 2>is a big dude catcher. Only I don't know if

1901
01:30:43.079 --> 01:30:45.560
<v Speaker 2>he was even drafted, like he might have been just

1902
01:30:45.680 --> 01:30:47.359
<v Speaker 2>under after free agent signed.

1903
01:30:47.079 --> 01:30:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Fourteenth round fourteenth, he got like no money, right, it's

1904
01:30:50.680 --> 01:30:51.880
<v Speaker 3>first year player.

1905
01:30:51.800 --> 01:30:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and got like no money right, Like he's.

1906
01:30:54.279 --> 01:30:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Don't have the signing bonus in front of me.

1907
01:30:56.800 --> 01:30:59.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure it's like no money at all to

1908
01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:03.560
<v Speaker 2>be had for they no prospect pedigree of note, I

1909
01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:07.039
<v Speaker 2>don't think. But he was really good to start his

1910
01:31:07.119 --> 01:31:09.920
<v Speaker 2>pro career hit. I think I was turned on him

1911
01:31:09.920 --> 01:31:11.920
<v Speaker 2>because I was watching somebody else, one of the other

1912
01:31:12.239 --> 01:31:15.760
<v Speaker 2>ALS team or NLS teams, and Durfy just hit a

1913
01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:19.159
<v Speaker 2>nuke in this like crazy inning. I think it was

1914
01:31:19.199 --> 01:31:21.399
<v Speaker 2>like eight runs in the inning. He let it off

1915
01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:24.920
<v Speaker 2>with a single, and then nine batters later he hit

1916
01:31:24.920 --> 01:31:26.880
<v Speaker 2>a three run homer to make it like thirteen to

1917
01:31:27.000 --> 01:31:29.600
<v Speaker 2>one or something like. It was just like everybody was scoring,

1918
01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:33.319
<v Speaker 2>but he hit this pitch and just like absolutely nuked it.

1919
01:31:33.399 --> 01:31:35.560
<v Speaker 2>But you know, he's like twenty two years old and

1920
01:31:35.760 --> 01:31:38.439
<v Speaker 2>or maybe twenty three now. It was a ball. I mean,

1921
01:31:38.600 --> 01:31:40.600
<v Speaker 2>this is not a ring endorsement, but he was.

1922
01:31:40.600 --> 01:31:41.239
<v Speaker 3>A big dude.

1923
01:31:41.520 --> 01:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>He hit great, hit a bunch of doubles to a

1924
01:31:44.079 --> 01:31:48.159
<v Speaker 2>couple of homers in a short stint in a ball

1925
01:31:48.199 --> 01:31:50.640
<v Speaker 2>coming out of college, so one to watch, I mean,

1926
01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:54.359
<v Speaker 2>not quite as electric as like the Dalton rushing performance

1927
01:31:54.399 --> 01:31:56.920
<v Speaker 2>coming out of college. And obviously they're very different talents

1928
01:31:57.560 --> 01:32:00.680
<v Speaker 2>from college, but there was like some overla app and

1929
01:32:00.720 --> 01:32:03.039
<v Speaker 2>how that how that looked to me, just like maybe

1930
01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:05.560
<v Speaker 2>this guy has a good approach to the plate, doesn't

1931
01:32:05.560 --> 01:32:07.560
<v Speaker 2>swing and miss much, and maybe there's some power there.

1932
01:32:07.680 --> 01:32:09.560
<v Speaker 2>So Brendan Durfy.

1933
01:32:09.439 --> 01:32:13.239
<v Speaker 3>Two eighty eight, four thirteen OBP four seventy nine, struck

1934
01:32:13.279 --> 01:32:15.560
<v Speaker 3>out under twenty percent of the time, walked fourteen percent

1935
01:32:15.600 --> 01:32:17.359
<v Speaker 3>of the time. You might want to get with Beck,

1936
01:32:17.439 --> 01:32:20.079
<v Speaker 3>but I think Beck had gleaned some data. Maybe it

1937
01:32:20.159 --> 01:32:23.239
<v Speaker 3>was EV stuff or contact percent Andrews or something like that.

1938
01:32:23.600 --> 01:32:26.560
<v Speaker 2>But about it, that's funny. I know a couple of

1939
01:32:26.600 --> 01:32:29.239
<v Speaker 2>guys that that we both really liked, Like Nitara was

1940
01:32:29.239 --> 01:32:30.680
<v Speaker 2>the other one. He and I were talking about that

1941
01:32:30.720 --> 01:32:34.239
<v Speaker 2>the other day on who Samuel and Arror Junior. Oh yeah,

1942
01:32:34.640 --> 01:32:35.600
<v Speaker 2>he was into him too.

1943
01:32:35.840 --> 01:32:38.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right on. So, yeah, Padres are a little tough

1944
01:32:38.880 --> 01:32:41.439
<v Speaker 3>system right now, but I imagine they'll, uh, I bet you

1945
01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:44.000
<v Speaker 3>there'll be some first year player draft guys that show

1946
01:32:44.119 --> 01:32:47.079
<v Speaker 3>up and do some things and they'll replenish. They always do.

1947
01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:50.159
<v Speaker 3>That wraps up the nl West for this year. We

1948
01:32:50.279 --> 01:32:52.880
<v Speaker 3>came together on on well how many guys? Three guys?

1949
01:32:52.920 --> 01:32:53.479
<v Speaker 3>Four guys?

1950
01:32:53.720 --> 01:32:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you were saying you were super excited about

1951
01:32:56.039 --> 01:32:58.199
<v Speaker 2>it and I was like kind of down on this group,

1952
01:32:58.239 --> 01:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and we agreed on three guys. Four guys.

1953
01:33:01.039 --> 01:33:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean the three bats

1954
01:33:03.600 --> 01:33:09.199
<v Speaker 3>in Tawa, Lizabel Diez, Wagner. I mean that's definitely B

1955
01:33:09.359 --> 01:33:10.560
<v Speaker 3>side draft range for me.

1956
01:33:10.840 --> 01:33:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, guys, yeah, certain, certainly Wagner and Tower for me.

1957
01:33:14.159 --> 01:33:15.439
<v Speaker 2>I think those guys are great.

1958
01:33:15.520 --> 01:33:17.960
<v Speaker 3>But AnyWho, that will wrap it up again. You can

1959
01:33:18.159 --> 01:33:20.760
<v Speaker 3>follow me and check out the videos I'm gonna post

1960
01:33:20.840 --> 01:33:24.560
<v Speaker 3>right when this episode drops on Twitter at Pitching Specs.

1961
01:33:24.840 --> 01:33:27.960
<v Speaker 3>We will get together again next week, I think, and

1962
01:33:28.439 --> 01:33:30.840
<v Speaker 3>talk another division. I'm not sure which one yet, but

1963

<v Speaker 3>we're halfway there through our selections and having some fun. Mudd,

<v Speaker 1>First with the lump bonus face, and on the very

1969
01:33:50.039 --> 01:33:57.159
<v Speaker 1>next pitch he up and stole second face with greatest

1970
01:33:59.000 --> 01:34:06.119
<v Speaker 1>He was is born. He had the dirty yes, uniforn,

1971
01:34:06.880 --> 01:34:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the
