00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Greedy societations. Everyone at twelve s amok and Fantasy Baseball Live.

2
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Today is March first. We have turned out of awful

3
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>February and it's cold weather now, it's a cold weather March.

4
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>But we are twenty ten, twenty six days away from

5
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the first first pitch thrown an anchor for our season.

6
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Is that about right?

7
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? That seems bold. Right. We got the WC coming

8
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 2>up too, so we're gonna have lots. We're gonna have

9
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 2>lots to watch. I mean you're speaking about, you know,

10
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 2>the dismal cold of February. Last night here was minus

11
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>thirty one.

12
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>It's warmed up a tad here. That's cold, by the way,

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>it's formed up a tad here. We had a little

14
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>bit of snowfloirries this morning. But I'm supposed to be

15
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>sixty five next weekend, so I'm hoping that that punk

16
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 1>satotly Phil has finally gotten back into his little hole

17
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and we can get spring on the way.

18
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, you couldn't pick a better way to

19
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>celebrate your upcoming birthday than that concert Saturday and Saturday.

20
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Now you're a Sunday night. Good for you.

21
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 1>That's my birthday. That's not my birthday, mold friends, that's

22
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>just a date.

23
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Man.

24
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I still got something for my birthday yet. I'm gonna

25
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>find out what is.

26
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, Yeah, well, hey, Joe Bondam Mosso is present.

27
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>It's not a bad present either.

28
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>That's true. Yeah, we're very excited about it. So we're

29
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>heading off next Sunday with Tim and I will be

30
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>doing what do we decide to me Monday. We're going

31
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 1>to be doing the show. On Monday evening, we're gonna

32
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 1>be doing our annual mock draft that's really a real draft,

33
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to be recruiting some people and Tim's

34
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>charge of that. He's going to be doing that and

35
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get that going a week from Monday.

36
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to that.

37
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's always fun and we have a good time

38
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 2>with that one. It's it's just a fun, a fun,

39
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 2>a fun afternoon evening affair. And yeah, I'm always looking

40
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 2>forward to it. Hey, we're doing we're doing a fifty

41
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>rounder on the clock, right.

42
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a fifty rounder. It'll be a twenty three rounder.

43
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>And the little twist is this year Tim and I

44
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>won't have any problems with this, but maybe some other people.

45
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 1>You've got to have draft at least one rookie, somebody

46
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>who has less than fifty innings pitched or less than

47
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirty at PATS. And if you don't

48
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>pick one of those guys, I get to pick them

49
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 1>for you, and I get to take one of your

50
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>fifth round pick away, and I get to pick a

51
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>rookie that will be left.

52
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 2>So you don't want that to happen so well, No,

53
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I could see somebody ending up with sixteen year old

54
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Dominican kid that he has to look at all year. No,

55
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't felt like fun.

56
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 1>I'll probably make it fair. I'll probably pick one of

57
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the guys that I think will come up, but or

58
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe let the person pick, but they will lose their

59
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>fifth round pick, so that will be a little twist

60
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 1>in it. So I'll make sure everybody knows it when

61
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I do the invite, tell them exactly what that particular

62
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>role is. But you had a draft this past week.

63
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Your labor draft went on.

64
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, drafting out of the fifth spot. It was

65
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>a fun evening. I actually spent some time with doctor

66
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Roto yesterday morning going over it, and he liked the results.

67
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 2>He was he was drafting right beside me and we

68
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>took here and snaping each other. But yeah, it was

69
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>nice to be back on serious for a little bit

70
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>cheot in the breeze. It was a fun event.

71
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I see that. Let's just go through the first

72
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 1>round and then we'll go through your picks. Oh, tani

73
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Wan judged to first. It's a retisseriy league and batting average.

74
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Correct, that's correct.

75
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And you've got to draft players that have not

76
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 1>had any at batchet in the big leagues where you

77
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 1>have to wait until they have a big league at

78
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>bat to draft them. Is that to acquire them to

79
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>pick them off the waiver wire? Is that correct?

80
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a that's correct. They've got to have They

81
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 2>got to have a third of an inning pitched or

82
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>one at bat before they are eligible once the draft

83
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>is over. During the draft, it's uh, it's it's fair game.

84
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>But if you want, if you want a late pick,

85
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>the stash and avoid that massive bab rush. Now is

86
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 2>the time in this league.

87
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>The first round looks pretty pretty straightforward. Showey aatani Aaron

88
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Judge Bobby with junior one soa Tim took led La Cruz.

89
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>As he told us last week in the fifth old

90
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Jose Ramirez and the sixth trek Scooble. Ronald Acuna Junior

91
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>is off to a really good start in spring training,

92
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Paul Skiens, Oh Yoh, Rodriguez, Kyle Tucker, Gunner Henderson, Garrett Crochet,

93
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>and Fernando Tatis. I don't see any real surprises here.

94
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, Kyle Tucker is up a little bit, but that's hey,

95
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 2>that's personal choice.

96
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Because Carroll and Francisco Lindor have dropped because they might

97
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 1>start the season on the IL and have the handmap issue.

98
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Right. Yeah, No, there was nothing. There was nothing really

99
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>shocking right through I would say the right through the

100
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>second round, you know, Nick Kurtz fell a little bit,

101
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 2>but again still the middle of the second round, Yeah,

102
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>it was pretty well to chalk and then you get

103
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 2>into rounds three and four and the pictures start flying

104
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 2>off the board. So yeah, there was probably my picking

105
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Elie de la Cruz in the fifth spot. It was

106
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>probably the most controversial pick in that first round.

107
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and as we talked, I just don't I don't

108
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 1>think it is. I mean I was picking in the

109
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>seventh hole in my NFBC draft, and I that's where

110
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I picked up Ledla Eli de la Cruz, and uh,

111
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who went so obviously, uh Corbyn Carroll

112
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>went before him. Somebody else must have gone before him

113
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>as well. I can't remember who it was. It must

114
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have been one of the.

115
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Pitchers, right, probably because there's three of them going towards

116
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 2>the middle middle back of the of the first round.

117
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I could have gone Hose Ramirez, but I've

118
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>got I've got future Rookie of the Year kaz O

119
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Komodo plans in most of my leagues, so I don't

120
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>need to double an on third base by taking Jose Ramirez.

121
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 2>I can just spread it out and go a little

122
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>bit cheaper on that position.

123
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, you're you're all in on kas Okamotos,

124
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 1>so it's either.

125
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Gonna work or it's not.

126
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 1>But uh yeah, a lot of a lot of the

127
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>guys that I have as my draft targets, So if

128
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you do terrible, then my draft targets did not work.

129
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and I don't have, okay, a function where

130
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I can go zero zero down the road. Rich That's

131
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:07.920
<v Speaker 2>not fair, it really isn't.

132
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So so Tim goes Eli de la Cruz.

133
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 2>One.

134
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll just do the first five picks and you

135
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 1>can talk us through Elie de la Cruz one, White Langford, two,

136
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Brown three, Andre's Munos four because you've got to

137
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>get a closer early and Freddie Perrault's number five. So

138
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 1>what was your thinking picking Ellie de la Cruz and

139
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 1>then coming back with White Langford.

140
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, I've wanted to be strong on the outfield, you know,

141
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>right from the get go this year, from the early

142
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>days we started talking about drafting, and I love Langford. Okay,

143
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>what can I say? I probably could have waited around,

144
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>but I just want him on my on as many

145
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 2>of my teams as I can get this year. I

146
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 2>think you've got to. I think you got a safe

147
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>floor of twenty five twenty five with a decent batting average,

148
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 2>and I'm perfectly happy having him anchor my oatfield.

149
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Rich Now, to be fair, I have him as well.

150
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>But he has not done it. He has not done

151
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.439
<v Speaker 1>it yet.

152
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>No, he hasn't. No, So but we both well we

153
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>both planned on being in on the ground floor, right.

154
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So that's that's my one concern. He hasn't done

155
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 1>it yet. I haven't you have him. It's like, I

156
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to say to that. But at some

157
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.439
<v Speaker 1>point he's going to do it. There's no guarantee it'll

158
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>be this year. I think the likelihood is pretty strong

159
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>it's this year because he had his taste last year,

160
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of aches and pains, hat showed some

161
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>flashes of being the guy that we think he's going

162
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.919
<v Speaker 1>to become. But there is some level of risk because

163
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>he has never done it before.

164
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, twenty twenty I think would be disappointing, as you know,

165
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I add, But at the same point in time, that

166
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 2>won't kill your plans. And I think you know, he

167
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:56.120
<v Speaker 2>did it last year.

168
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, did you say that twenty twenty would be disappointing.

169
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, based on he did better than that last year. Yeah, well,

170
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean not a twenty five twenty six at twenty twenty.

171
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.759
<v Speaker 2>I'd be a little disappointed with that because that would

172
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>mean he is performing this year at a lower level

173
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.159
<v Speaker 2>than the last year. I'm expecting growth.

174
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>That's been twenty two last year with a two forty

175
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 1>one batting average, and it's got a little unlucky. I mean,

176
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>so that's when I say he didn't He hasn't done

177
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.480
<v Speaker 1>it yet. That's probably a bit of a lie, because

178
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean last year was pretty strong.

179
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was, and if he produces to last year's level,

180
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.159
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to hurt either one of us. Right,

181
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.039
<v Speaker 2>it'll be a bit disappointing, but it'll be a disappointment

182
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 2>we can get over fairly easily, I think.

183
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 1>So back to your first pick, he did did did

184
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 1>you toy with the idea of going with one of

185
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 1>the big pictures? Did you also toy with the idea

186
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 1>of Ronald Acuna, Huli Robriguz, Kyle Tucker, some other big

187
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>outfielder and go outfielder outfielder.

188
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>No, No, there was no hesitation. I'm looking you look

189
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 2>at what the Dela Cruz did last year. Okay, what

190
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.879
<v Speaker 2>twenty homers eighty RBI is, one hundred runs scored, thirty

191
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 2>seven stolen bases with a busted up quad in the

192
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>second half. Okay, I think you can set a twenty

193
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>home run thirty five to forty stolen base floor for

194
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Dela Cruz. You can also look at the potential of

195
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>a twenty five to thirty home run season and fifty

196
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 2>stolen base So there you know type year. So there

197
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 2>is no hesitation on my part at all. I didn't want.

198
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want the pitching, and yeah, I know Ronald

199
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Cunia is set in the world on fire right now,

200
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.960
<v Speaker 2>but I just feel Dela Cruz is a safer pick

201
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and Julio Rodriguez again, it's a great pick, but I

202
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 2>just think the upside is the sky's elymit Dela Cruz,

203
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'll take that upside.

204
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 1>You also indicated last Sunday that you would definitely take

205
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>a Hunter Brown. I think a logan web Brian Wu

206
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Were you hoping that Yamamota would get back

207
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 1>to you because it went one pick before.

208
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>You actually one pick after.

209
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh so you took count That's right, you took Hunter

210
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Brown ahead of Yamamoto. Explain.

211
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I explained that one yesterday because uh uh, the

212
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 2>gentleman drafting after me, he was convinced for sure I

213
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>was going to take Yamamoto and he won. He wanted

214
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 2>an explanation, and it's a very simple one. If you

215
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.799
<v Speaker 2>look at their numbers from last year, they're totally comparable.

216
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:51.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, strikeouts, bitch e r a. All the numbers

217
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>were within fractions of each other. And when I look

218
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.639
<v Speaker 2>at Yamamoto and don't hey, I love Yama Moto. I

219
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>just think Hunterer Brown's capable of fifteen to twenty more

220
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>innings than Yamamota will be this year. So I have Brown.

221
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I've moved him up ahead of Yamamoto. It's still very close,

222
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>but when in doubt, I'm going to go with what

223
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 2>I believe is going to be the picture that gets

224
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 2>the higher workload, and I think that's under Brown.

225
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Our Patreon members got my targets two months ago. I

226
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>said the fourth horse of the Big four after Schoobable's,

227
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Schimes and Crochet, was Hunter Brown. That was what my

228
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 1>data told me, and I thought it was a clear

229
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 1>definitive Hunter Brown over everybody else, including Yamamoto, Logan Gilbert,

230
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Sanchez. But that's just me. I do think I

231
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 1>agree with you wholeheartedly that Yamamota will be rested. He

232
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 1>is not going to pick as long as Hunter Brown

233
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:55.519
<v Speaker 1>is healthy. He's not going to pitch as many innings

234
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>as Hunter Brown. Just not.

235
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think there's no reason for it. Okay,

236
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are in it to win it. They want

237
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 2>him ready for the playoffs because we know, based on

238
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.320
<v Speaker 2>last year, how much of a difference maker he can

239
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.039
<v Speaker 2>be in the playoffs.

240
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think Galamoto will be slightly overdrafted this year.

241
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.679
<v Speaker 1>He's good, great picture, no question about it. But I

242
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>think people just need to realize that there's going He's

243
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>going to get rested.

244
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 2>He just is.

245
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Then he went with a closer we made. I made

246
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 1>the comment last week, and I think you agreed. I mean,

247
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>as long as everybody is drafting a closer early, it

248
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 1>really doesn't matter. Just jump in and get the guy

249
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you want.

250
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Well. Yeah, and what we saw is in the fourth

251
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 2>round I took Andrea's Munio, so okay, and right after

252
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Munos when Johan Duran coming back in round five, we

253
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>then saw Devin Williams or all this Chapman David Bedner

254
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>off in a round six. I think Munos is a

255
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 2>step above all of those closers, So I'm perfectly fine

256
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 2>with him in around four as an anchor to my

257
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:12.039
<v Speaker 2>fantasy bullpen.

258
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Can we talk about Devin Williams. I never got talk

259
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>about closers today, but let's just talk about Devin Wise.

260
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>He was brutal last year.

261
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.039
<v Speaker 2>It was not a good year.

262
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>No, why is he still going as one of the

263
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 1>elite closers. I mean when he was that bad last year.

264
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, because once you get by the first four or

265
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.639
<v Speaker 2>five closers, okay, they've all got some wards. Okay, you

266
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.519
<v Speaker 2>know Chapman is getting up there in age. Hey, what

267
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:47.679
<v Speaker 2>type of seasons have we seen from David Bedner over

268
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>the past three years? Up down, all over the place?

269
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Hellsley, you know the middle deal. You look at Hellsley,

270
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:57.759
<v Speaker 2>he didn't look too good in the second half. Racio

271
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Iglacias had his moments last year brilliance, and he also stumbled.

272
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Hoffman. You know, the Jay's big project in the

273
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.679
<v Speaker 2>off season was to find a closer. Well, Jeff Hoffin

274
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>is still their closer. Okay. Once you get through that

275
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>first four or five closers, there's a huge group of

276
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>ill called mid tier that all have that they they

277
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 2>should all have various levels of concern attached to them.

278
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>And then you get, let's toss a dark hope they

279
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.559
<v Speaker 2>stick out of the last ten or so closers. So

280
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I think Devin Williams falls into that middle group where

281
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you take him and your preferences are, you know, it

282
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>could work great, or it could be a year like

283
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.279
<v Speaker 2>last year, in which case that's an awful high pick

284
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.960
<v Speaker 2>to be struggling with for all of twenty twenty six,

285
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 2>which is why again I wanted one of the big

286
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not saying that the elite five or so

287
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.399
<v Speaker 2>are carved in stone, but they're as close as you're

288
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>going to get, a lot closer than the next group anyhow.

289
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I get with Devin Williams of previous four

290
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>years five verse was unbelievable. Yeah, I mean it's just,

291
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, best closer, if top three of not the

292
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.679
<v Speaker 1>best closer in the game. But last year maybe the

293
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>bright lights of New York was just too much. But

294
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.440
<v Speaker 1>he's still in New York. He's just on the other

295
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 1>side of the Hudson or other side of other side

296
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of the East River. So I don't know, it just

297
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>seems a little scary to me.

298
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a situation I wanted to do avoid, all right.

299
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>So that's your top four. Let me get back over

300
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and then coming at number five is one of my guys,

301
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Freddie Parolta love that pick, so he decided to go

302
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:48.399
<v Speaker 1>three in a row one pitching.

303
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, when you look at the base, I think I

304
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.399
<v Speaker 2>established a base with Dela Cruz and Language of fifty

305
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:01.600
<v Speaker 2>home runs and sixty five stolen bases. Okay, that's a

306
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.000
<v Speaker 2>good enough start that it allows me to look at

307
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:08.680
<v Speaker 2>a starting pitcher and go three pictures in a row,

308
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.640
<v Speaker 2>because you know I've mentioned many times twenty three is

309
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.240
<v Speaker 2>a magic number. That's how many pictures ended up generating

310
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:20.559
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and eighty plus strikeouts last year. I wanted

311
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 2>at least two. With Freddie Perrault, I've got my two,

312
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.079
<v Speaker 2>and with Kevin Golzman as my third starter, that gives

313
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>me three. So I wanted to take care of the

314
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:38.400
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts with a good, solid ace, high number two type starter,

315
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 2>and Freddie BERLTA does everything I'd like.

316
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 1>After that, you went Randy a Rose Arena and it's

317
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Tim's you know, just a guy that Tim gets a lot.

318
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Say Suzuki, one of my guys targets this year goes

319
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 1>in the seventh round Kevin gossmans to mentioned Joe Adell,

320
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Big power, and then of course he goes kaz O

321
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Kamoto and then Amaya followed by that. So you with

322
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:08.079
<v Speaker 1>your two favorite Japanese guys coming into this season, talk

323
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:13.279
<v Speaker 1>about the why go back to two outfielders after taking

324
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.720
<v Speaker 1>White langfordt he went three outfielders and three pictures rot

325
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.119
<v Speaker 1>in a row.

326
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wanted to shore up my oat field. I

327
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:27.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted power and a little bit more speed. Randy rose

328
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Arena accomplishes that for me. I don't see any reason

329
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.920
<v Speaker 2>why I say Suzuki can get twenty five to thirty

330
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 2>home runs after hitting what thirty two? I think it

331
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 2>was last year driving driving in ninety runs and Joe Adell.

332
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm counting on thirty five ninety out of Joe Adell. So, uh,

333
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>just filling in the gaps from a power speed point

334
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:51.519
<v Speaker 2>of view and making my oat field as strong as possible.

335
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.240
<v Speaker 1>You've got serious power on this team with Adella Suzuki

336
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 1>or Rosarina Langford. I mean, look, Dela Cruz might not

337
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.519
<v Speaker 1>hit fift, but if you told me he has thirty eight,

338
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't surprise me. That guy's got huge, huge batspeed.

339
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, I again, I'm there's a big difference between

340
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Elie de la Cruz's floor and potential ceiling, and if

341
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 2>he gets to his potential ceiling with the other picks

342
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 2>I've made after him. Yeah, I like my offense a lot,

343
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:26.759
<v Speaker 2>I really do.

344
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Elie de la Cruz has Ronald Acunya kind

345
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.720
<v Speaker 1>of power speed upside. I don't think he's as good

346
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 1>of hitter. But if you told me it's it's forty eighty,

347
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean I wouldn't think that's like totally crazy. Forty

348
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.599
<v Speaker 1>sixty for sure, something like that, I would be shocked.

349
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 2>No, I'll be back in a second. Okay, I just

350
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>have to grab some more blood pressure medication. Then I

351
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 2>got to get it down a little bit here. Rich No,

352
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:02.480
<v Speaker 2>but again, the se is incredibly high. It is and

353
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.160
<v Speaker 2>it is, and it sort of sets things up for

354
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:11.960
<v Speaker 2>picks Lake, Adele and Suzuki because I, between the La Cruz,

355
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Langford and Rose Brena, I've got a good, really good

356
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:19.119
<v Speaker 2>stolen base base. So I can go to guys like

357
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Adele and suzuk He and not have to worry about

358
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the fact that they're going to give me combined for

359
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:26.480
<v Speaker 2>sooln bases. Right, I can just hard the power.

360
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.319
<v Speaker 1>Elie de la Cruz and Ronalicun you're good buddies. And

361
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, if led La Cruz gets out of the

362
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 1>gets off the snipe strong, which I hope he does,

363
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.480
<v Speaker 1>it begunning for that twenty twenty two or twenty three

364
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:42.480
<v Speaker 1>season of Ronald d'acunya. You could see him doing that.

365
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 1>You can see him stealing bases just to catch Ronald d'acunya.

366
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, you know when you look at the numbers

367
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:52.880
<v Speaker 2>he posted last year, half the season was with a

368
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.240
<v Speaker 2>damaged qud. Okay, you give him a healthy qlud and

369
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I think last year we were here easily stole in

370
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:01.480
<v Speaker 2>fifty five dayses.

371
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that big year was twenty twenty three, forty one,

372
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.680
<v Speaker 1>seventy three.

373
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

374
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Elie dela Cruz is going to hit

375
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:17.160
<v Speaker 1>three thirty seven, but I think that kind of that

376
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of season of forty sixty seventy season is definitely

377
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.680
<v Speaker 1>an el dela cruise. He's going to do it at

378
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.680
<v Speaker 1>some point, hopefully it'll be this season, but I think

379
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 1>it's it's in there. Let's see anything to say about

380
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:32.720
<v Speaker 1>let me I have I know a question I wanted.

381
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.240
<v Speaker 1>You talked a lot about Eurie Perez.

382
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Did you did you.

383
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Have a fleeting moment of taking Uri Perez where he

384
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>took Freddy Peralta, And if you did, did you hesitate

385
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.079
<v Speaker 1>because he has been not very good in spring training

386
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.799
<v Speaker 1>so far. I mean, what was your thinking or did

387
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 1>you just say Freddy Peralt is the better pitcher and

388
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.680
<v Speaker 1>more established picture, I'm going to take him. What was

389
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.400
<v Speaker 1>your thinking there, Ury?

390
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.640
<v Speaker 2>I love Euri Perez, and if he was still there

391
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:07.920
<v Speaker 2>in the sixth round, he was, he was taken right

392
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 2>before me. Okay. I had two players at the top

393
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:13.559
<v Speaker 2>of my queue, and the order I had them in

394
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.319
<v Speaker 2>was Uri Perez and Randy Road Arena.

395
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:18.079
<v Speaker 1>So you would have taken your Perez.

396
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I would have. I would have gone with the

397
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:24.079
<v Speaker 2>third picture there and scraped my plans for my down

398
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:29.759
<v Speaker 2>in round eleven. Okay, And I would have I would

399
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 2>have found my stole bases somewhere later on down the road. No,

400
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.279
<v Speaker 2>I my thoughts on Euripez I haven't haven't changed one bit.

401
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Even with the lousy start, because it wasn't just a

402
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.599
<v Speaker 1>lousy first start, it was a lowsy first two starts.

403
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 1>That is not swaying your concern at all.

404
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.079
<v Speaker 2>No. I heard he's he's working on his fielding, and

405
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the more hits he can allow in spring training, the

406
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.480
<v Speaker 2>better fielder he'll back.

407
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:57.119
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna get. Okay, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm.

408
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Not concerned about Euriperez.

409
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:02.920
<v Speaker 1>No, Okay, all right, So it's funny I've not heard

410
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 1>that strategy yet. When when does? Because again, spring training

411
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:10.759
<v Speaker 1>shiit an account for anything. We're going to get to

412
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:13.359
<v Speaker 1>a maya for a moment, because he didn't have very

413
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:16.279
<v Speaker 1>good first outing. If you ask me, when do you

414
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 1>start to get worried? If Uri Perez blows up again

415
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:22.839
<v Speaker 1>in his next outing, do you start to get worried?

416
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Or you just say, no, it's a spring training.

417
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 2>It's just spring training. Okay. The only time I will

418
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:35.119
<v Speaker 2>get worried is if after his next start the Marlins

419
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:39.000
<v Speaker 2>announced that he's dealing with a sore elbow or his

420
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:43.240
<v Speaker 2>forearm seemed a little you know, a minor forearm streen.

421
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.839
<v Speaker 2>At that point in time, you have to get concerned

422
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:46.880
<v Speaker 2>no matter who it is.

423
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, it did it. So you're not worried obviously

424
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>because you took the maya that he pretty much was

425
00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 1>throwing ninety three miles an hour.

426
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I'm not concerned. He works, He works ninety

427
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:05.039
<v Speaker 2>four ninety five. It's his first outing. No, I'm not

428
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>concerned at all. I'm sure if he wanted to, he

429
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.839
<v Speaker 2>could have ramped it up. He threw half a dozen bitches,

430
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:14.319
<v Speaker 2>one hundred triple digits. He can if he can throw

431
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.759
<v Speaker 2>it that hard. He's it's spring training, he's building building

432
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:21.880
<v Speaker 2>his arm strength up. I have no concerns He'll be fine.

433
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Tim goes with twelve, Abner ureba J Jackson, Holiday drops

434
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, Tim jumps on him. Garrett Cole loved

435
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that pick there at fourteen. Just to let you know

436
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:33.720
<v Speaker 1>a team make on him in the nineteenth round.

437
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I probably, I probably could have waited. But every

438
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.160
<v Speaker 2>time I turn around, I see his they're moving up

439
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:46.359
<v Speaker 2>his targeted start. If I can get at half a

440
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 2>season out of Garrett Cole at eighty percent seventy five

441
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.680
<v Speaker 2>to eighty percent of what we're accustomed to, I'll be

442
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.319
<v Speaker 2>very happy.

443
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Look, anything can happen, but it is Garrett Cole. Well,

444
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean the Garrett Cole on a Hall of Fame career.

445
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:04.279
<v Speaker 1>This is Instill in his prime. I mean, this is

446
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:06.559
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the best pitchers in the game.

447
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, fourteenth eighteenth, nineteenth round seems crazy

448
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to me.

449
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, again, you're you're betting. You're betting on earlier rather

450
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:20.279
<v Speaker 2>than later, and hopefully we see him towards mid May.

451
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:24.759
<v Speaker 2>And if that's the case, we're looking at twenty potentially

452
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:28.359
<v Speaker 2>twenty plus starts. That's that's a lot of seventy five

453
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 2>percent of Garrett Cole and his prime to add to

454
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.920
<v Speaker 2>your team once you get into me, and so you.

455
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Get a replacement level guy to fill in with him,

456
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's gimme, gimme, gimmey there. Okay, So

457
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.359
<v Speaker 1>you got Garrett called fourteen Carlos, So you did wait

458
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.200
<v Speaker 1>on catching because you go Carlos Avaiz in the fifteenth,

459
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and then Harry Ford in the twenties, to talk about

460
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that in a minute, and then south fray Lick in

461
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:54.759
<v Speaker 1>the sixteenth. Robbie Snelling also got beaten up in his

462
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.839
<v Speaker 1>first outing. And you waited on shortstop and you went

463
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Mason when and you also waited on first base, and

464
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you got Josh Bell. I mean, it's so this is

465
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>a very interesting area because we're seeing the effects of

466
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:14.440
<v Speaker 1>taking three outfielders early and taking four or five starting

467
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.160
<v Speaker 1>pitchers early. You waited on shortstop and you waited on

468
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 1>first base.

469
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, and as soon as I moved Abner yourrebay

470
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:27.640
<v Speaker 2>up into round twelve, which I think, which I love

471
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:31.119
<v Speaker 2>that pick, I really do, I took your Rebay over

472
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Trevor McGill who went two picks after me. Okay, I yeah, McGill.

473
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.799
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about him a little bit more when we

474
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:43.839
<v Speaker 2>get into the closer reports. But again, he had Pierre

475
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 2>perp shot in the off season. He's never made it

476
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:48.680
<v Speaker 2>through a season in his career. I don't think one

477
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent healthy. Your Rebay's got the stuff to close

478
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 2>and at worst, I think I've got eight to ten

479
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 2>saves and close to one hundred strike up. So I again,

480
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 2>I was very happy to get Avenue Urebay in the

481
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 2>twelfth round. But with those two closers there comes a

482
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:12.920
<v Speaker 2>price in the price's first base catcher and the middle infield.

483
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:16.680
<v Speaker 2>The middle infield, I wasn't too concerned about the corner

484
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:21.279
<v Speaker 2>infield and catcher. Yeah. Hey, we were at the stage

485
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:26.799
<v Speaker 2>of the draft where if I didn't look to Carlos

486
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:31.480
<v Speaker 2>nirvaias you can see the catchers taken after and it

487
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:33.279
<v Speaker 2>was getting pretty pretty ugly.

488
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm looking at it. So but I guess the

489
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>old saying is you can't have everything right, So you

490
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.160
<v Speaker 1>gotta when you make when you're in the draft and

491
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.400
<v Speaker 1>in the heat of it, when you decide to take

492
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>an Avenue Rebay early, or you decide to go with

493
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:53.079
<v Speaker 1>three out well, four outfielders.

494
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Early, you got a delta folders.

495
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you're yes, something's gonna fall. And I

496
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:04.319
<v Speaker 1>guess the most troubling pick a long term owner of

497
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Josh Bell. Here myself.

498
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Josh Bell's brutal.

499
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he'll have three weeks where he looks like

500
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the best first base in baseball, but you can't tell

501
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:17.240
<v Speaker 1>when those first three weeks are gonna be. Otherwise it's awful.

502
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm praying Reecee Hoskins keeps the job in Cleveland. Yeah,

503
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I know what I've got with Josh Bell. At the

504
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:29.039
<v Speaker 2>end of the year, hopefully it should be twenty home

505
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.400
<v Speaker 2>run sixty RBIs and a two forty batting average. But

506
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:35.000
<v Speaker 2>you're right in between there, there's gonna be six weeks

507
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:38.839
<v Speaker 2>of nothing. At some point you die. It's gonna it's inevitable.

508
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>It is it is your I mean, look, trust me, Timmy,

509
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:45.319
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna You're gonna look at it go oh dear God,

510
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:47.480
<v Speaker 1>why did I draft this guy? And then then all

511
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden'll blow up and go Okay, But you

512
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.000
<v Speaker 1>got to make sure you have him in otherwise you're screwed.

513
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, he's gonna be in my lineup and barring

514
00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Reese Hoskins being you know or something on the waiver wire, Okay,

515
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.359
<v Speaker 2>availability there. Yeahs, I'm just gonna have to live with it.

516
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:09.400
<v Speaker 2>And I knew that when I picked up. Yeah, it's

517
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:12.319
<v Speaker 2>just yeah, you'll live with it and life goes off.

518
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>You took Reese Hoskins in the twenty fourth round, so

519
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to that in a moment and then, but

520
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:21.160
<v Speaker 1>tell me how you feel about Carlos Nevaias and Combo

521
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and Harry Ford.

522
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, I've also got Joe Mack that I picked up. Okay, Preserver, Yeah,

523
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm sort of Hey, if I can get ten home

524
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>runs and ten to fifteen home runs and fifty stove

525
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:40.240
<v Speaker 2>and fifty RBIs and Ovice, I'll be ecstatic. Harry Ford's

526
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 2>fighting out with cab Ruiz for the number one job

527
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:47.000
<v Speaker 2>in Washington. I know he's young, but again there's a

528
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.039
<v Speaker 2>little bit of speed there, a little bit of pop.

529
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:54.079
<v Speaker 2>I like Harry Ford. And again I've I've protected myself.

530
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I believe with a catcher that if he doesn't break camp,

531
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:58.680
<v Speaker 2>we're going to see him fairly early and Joe Max,

532
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:02.880
<v Speaker 2>so hopefully between the three of them. You know, I can.

533
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.759
<v Speaker 2>I can end up with a total of twenty to

534
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:10.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty five home runs and one hundred and one hundred

535
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 2>and ten hundred and fifteen RBIs.

536
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Great Breyon Bellow in the twenty first round, Victor Scott

537
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>more Speed and the twenty Marcella Mayor and the twenty

538
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:23.920
<v Speaker 1>third res Hoskins. We already mentioned twenty fourth and back

539
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to back potential closers and Jojo Romero, though I think

540
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.559
<v Speaker 1>in your closure lets you have Jojo Romero listed as

541
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the closer, which I found to be interesting dra Jamison.

542
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I actually picked him up a couple of our Dynasty

543
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:40.200
<v Speaker 1>league redrafts because I looked at Tim's report and had

544
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Ginkle in the number one spot and I said, no,

545
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:46.079
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Jamison.

546
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 2>And well, he's the only guy that's got heating a bullpen.

547
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Paul See will take an eighty nine miles an hour

548
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.920
<v Speaker 2>with the heat eater. Okay, I if you're going to

549
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:56.799
<v Speaker 2>call down, I've.

550
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Been down the in the Ginkle path too many times. Yeah,

551
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:00.279
<v Speaker 1>you know.

552
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:06.119
<v Speaker 2>It. No, I'm I'm not either. And I think with

553
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Jojo Romero, and you look at the situation with him

554
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 2>and O'Brien. Uh, I think Romero is going to get

555
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:15.319
<v Speaker 2>five to ten saves by the time it's all said

556
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 2>and done.

557
00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 1>And as a third, Brian a few weeks ago, that

558
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:21.160
<v Speaker 1>was your sleeper sleeper guy.

559
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I still think O'Brien could be the number one,

560
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:28.880
<v Speaker 2>but all it's gonna take is just a small stump

561
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.559
<v Speaker 2>stump stumble, and Romero is going to pick up some saves.

562
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.359
<v Speaker 2>And Matt Svence and I like a lot as a

563
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.559
<v Speaker 2>number three when we get into some sleeper some sleeper

564
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>picks all rant on about him. But again out of

565
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 2>a third closer, if I can get five to ten saves,

566
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.759
<v Speaker 2>that should guarantee me with your eBay and Muno, is

567
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:54.920
<v Speaker 2>that a solid bullpen.

568
00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Uh? And then you finish up with Joe Mack. You

569
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Aben Miller, which I thought was an interesting picking.

570
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Then your guy Ryan Weese, Uh, Tim is that's his

571
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:06.680
<v Speaker 1>guy's bank on getting them in the twenty ninth round.

572
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.759
<v Speaker 1>I think it's great. Anybody in the twenty ninth round

573
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.880
<v Speaker 1>is a great pick, but a Miller above all the

574
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.519
<v Speaker 1>other guys that was really this is a somewhat of

575
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:19.319
<v Speaker 1>an anti Tim McCloud draft, because that's really your well,

576
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's not fair to say Amaya in Okamoto

577
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.279
<v Speaker 1>or true rookies. I mean they are, but they're not.

578
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>This is your true prospect that you've got out there.

579
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Hem and Robbie Snelling, Yeah, seventeen. Yeah, so I I've

580
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:38.039
<v Speaker 2>got I've got a lot of you are a lot

581
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:39.720
<v Speaker 2>of youth on this game. You know, we look at

582
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Mason Winn as a bed dream. He's twenty three, you know. Yeah,

583
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.279
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a lot of you know, Wyatt Langford and

584
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Dela Cruz combined.

585
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:47.359
<v Speaker 1>It.

586
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think at the forty five. Uh, there's a

587
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of youth on this team. But again, I think

588
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna see I'm prepared to wait on Miller. I

589
00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.720
<v Speaker 2>think at some point in time this season, we're going

590
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.200
<v Speaker 2>to see you. It's just a matter of when. And

591
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I think when he does show up, I think what

592
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.359
<v Speaker 2>he could potentially bring to your fantasy squad is a

593
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:10.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of goodness. So I'm prepared. I'm prepared to kick

594
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:14.319
<v Speaker 2>back and see what Aiden Aiden Miller does does down

595
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:16.640
<v Speaker 2>on the farm for at least months and a half,

596
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 2>two months, yeah.

597
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I think, Uh, I don't think he's played in spring yet,

598
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:22.559
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know if he must be.

599
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Hurt, Yeah, in a lower back issue. I believe yeah,

600
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:27.000
<v Speaker 2>because he goes.

601
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I keep waiting for for that bath to come up,

602
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and I haven't seen it yet. Uh So, Timmy, let's

603
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 1>take a quick break it back. And I just want me.

604
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I like your team. I want you. I

605
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>want you to give me kind of your assessment of

606
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:41.519
<v Speaker 1>your team and what you think you're going to have

607
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to work on besides first base. I like your scene.

608
00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did a lot of things I did in

609
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.519
<v Speaker 1>my NFCT and I like my NFC draft. You took

610
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the targets, which I doubt you looked

611
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>at mine. You just kind of came to the same

612
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.960
<v Speaker 1>conclusions that I did. So I like it. I could

613
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.920
<v Speaker 1>be dead wrong. Do you like it? And then what

614
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.840
<v Speaker 1>are the areas you think you need to focus on?

615
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I like it a lot. Obviously, A corner infield. You know,

616
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.920
<v Speaker 2>corner infield is going to be a priority. And I've

617
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:27.320
<v Speaker 2>got there's six or seven names I've already got stashed

618
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:29.679
<v Speaker 2>away in my queue for the first waiver wire around.

619
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:33.199
<v Speaker 2>I'll see what happens with Reesaucekins. If he breaks camp,

620
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:35.760
<v Speaker 2>I'll exercise some patience and see what happens in the

621
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:39.039
<v Speaker 2>first couple of weeks. But definitely a corner infielder. And

622
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:42.400
<v Speaker 2>you know what, it doesn't matter how much pitching you have,

623
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:46.440
<v Speaker 2>you never have enough, Okay, So I at some point

624
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 2>in time, I'll be watching very carefully to look at

625
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:55.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I like my pitching. But at the same

626
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:58.960
<v Speaker 2>point in time, Hey, pitchers get hurt, they break, so

627
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:02.039
<v Speaker 2>you can never have enough of them. Ryan Weiss, I'm

628
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:06.440
<v Speaker 2>very very bullish on Hey, if you can snack him

629
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:11.599
<v Speaker 2>in the twenty eighth, twenty ninth round, nothing but upside

630
00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:14.760
<v Speaker 2>with that pick. Hey, it might not work out, but

631
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:18.280
<v Speaker 2>based on what he did last it's a free pick.

632
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's no bad pick in the twenty ninth round, so.

633
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Well exactly and last year, if it wasn't for Cody Ponce,

634
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:28.880
<v Speaker 2>he would have been the KBO MVP. That's how good

635
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:31.880
<v Speaker 2>a season he had last year. So I'm willing to

636
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm willing to wait and see how that one shakes down.

637
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Then hey, if that one works out, Yeah, it's definitely

638
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.719
<v Speaker 2>definitely well as much the same as you know, guys

639
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.920
<v Speaker 2>like Joe Mack and Miller, and you know, you're rolling

640
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the dice and you're hoping for a best case scenario

641
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:52.920
<v Speaker 2>if they If it doesn't happen, well, you know my

642
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:56.599
<v Speaker 2>philosophy when it comes to the way of waiverwere spend lots,

643
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.360
<v Speaker 2>spend early, get get the numbers, and roll with it.

644
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:04.159
<v Speaker 2>So I'm I'm really happy with the team. They shook

645
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:07.360
<v Speaker 2>down just about how I was hoping it would. Like

646
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Jackson Holiday in the thirteenth round. Yeah, it's going to

647
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:13.519
<v Speaker 2>be a slow start for him, no doubt. But if

648
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:16.440
<v Speaker 2>he goes fifteen fifteen with a half decent bed, you

649
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:19.639
<v Speaker 2>know in the thirteenth round, that works.

650
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I say, there's no bad picks on the twenty ninth

651
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:26.320
<v Speaker 1>round and I see Spencer Jones is name there? That

652
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:30.119
<v Speaker 1>guy's definitely not That guy's not a subscriber, that's for sure.

653
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:36.000
<v Speaker 2>So no, but again you look at the last the

654
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.320
<v Speaker 2>last round, and yeah, Bo Naylor has a strong September.

655
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.159
<v Speaker 2>There's upside will Vest trillion.

656
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:47.280
<v Speaker 1>We're pulling for will Vest. So yeah, I don't know

657
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:49.880
<v Speaker 1>about Dustin May. I see Dustin May. I don't like that.

658
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Dustin May does have anything left, but I

659
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:53.440
<v Speaker 1>get it.

660
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, again, it's gambling on some upside and when

661
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.039
<v Speaker 2>you look at how the the guy that has Dustin

662
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:07.920
<v Speaker 2>May constructed his pitching, he has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

663
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:12.199
<v Speaker 2>eight nine. Ten of his last eleven picks we're all pitchers.

664
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Chris, because he got Cody Ponce, Code Singer, Rookie Sasaki,

665
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Jor Jones, he got Kinkle. That's funny.

666
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:24.360
<v Speaker 2>He's going to have two or three of those guys

667
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:29.679
<v Speaker 2>work out for him. But again, yeah, most of his

668
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:35.719
<v Speaker 2>reserve pitchers. Wow, yep, yeah, yeah, Mike went basically other

669
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:40.480
<v Speaker 2>than Quarrel, he is all pitching. And again, much like

670
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:44.440
<v Speaker 2>everybody else knows, you can never have enough of it, right,

671
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:48.079
<v Speaker 2>you might as well load up now. Well, it's free

672
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:51.840
<v Speaker 2>because once you get in season, the injuries start happening.

673
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:56.400
<v Speaker 2>If you're late on pitching, you're going up against fourteen

674
00:37:56.480 --> 00:38:00.119
<v Speaker 2>other teams who also might be dealing with the with

675
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:05.159
<v Speaker 2>pitching issues. Eh. So yeah, again, I look at the

676
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:12.360
<v Speaker 2>team right beside Mike, who is Jeff Ericson from wire six?

677
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:14.119
<v Speaker 2>His last six picks were all pitchers.

678
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's for sure. Well I hope you too. Well,

679
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:21.239
<v Speaker 1>when is when is your talent warst Draft? That's in

680
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:22.239
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks right.

681
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh no, it's just it's just coming Tuesday, really okay, wow, yeah,

682
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:32.280
<v Speaker 2>and then a couple of weeks. Yeah, it's usually the

683
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.280
<v Speaker 2>first week of March. Labor is a little bit later

684
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:37.639
<v Speaker 2>than normal. Usually it's around the fifteenth or so. But

685
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.039
<v Speaker 2>because of the Olympics, Steve Gardner was a very very

686
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:45.559
<v Speaker 2>busy camp for over at USA. Today he's a commission

687
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:48.159
<v Speaker 2>of Labor. So we pushed it back a couple of weeks.

688
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:54.199
<v Speaker 1>So okay, well, very good. So let's moved some quick

689
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:55.760
<v Speaker 1>neat news and notes and then we'll get into the

690
00:38:55.800 --> 00:39:01.800
<v Speaker 1>closer report. Very excited about the Closer report, Zach. Look,

691
00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:05.119
<v Speaker 1>he keeps getting like Garrett Cole. He keeps keeps getting

692
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.519
<v Speaker 1>pushed up to him. Now they're saying that it's going

693
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to be April ninth, he's going to make his major

694
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.079
<v Speaker 1>league debut, which is only a week or two late.

695
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:18.000
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't risen much of the ADPs. Again, he's coming

696
00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:22.960
<v Speaker 1>off of thoracic outlock syndrome surgery, which is they take

697
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.159
<v Speaker 1>out a hip not a hip bone, a bone in

698
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:34.159
<v Speaker 1>your oh what is it your ribcake? Yep, and reduces

699
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:36.679
<v Speaker 1>the pressure on the arms. Somehow, they were able to

700
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:39.840
<v Speaker 1>figure that out. But it's been difficult to come back

701
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:43.079
<v Speaker 1>from that surgery and from that condition. So I get

702
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:46.000
<v Speaker 1>why nobody's believing in him. But just like with Garrett Cole,

703
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it is Zach Wheeler one of the best pictures in

704
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:51.800
<v Speaker 1>this era of the game, says a guy that you're

705
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 1>starting to get interested in.

706
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.639
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm going to pass because my philosophy, the way

707
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm building my pitching is year is I want some

708
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:05.760
<v Speaker 2>of those one hundred and eighty plus strikeout types. Okay, Well,

709
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.159
<v Speaker 2>you ain't going to get them in the eighth round, okay,

710
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:09.960
<v Speaker 2>or if you do, you're getting them with a whole

711
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:13.719
<v Speaker 2>bunch of caveats. So for me, I hopefully have three

712
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:17.960
<v Speaker 2>starting pictures that will satisfy my particular needs by the

713
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:21.760
<v Speaker 2>time we get to Zach Wheeler. Okay, So he falls

714
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.920
<v Speaker 2>out of interest with the way I'm building my teams.

715
00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:30.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you're looking at Wheeler as a number

716
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:34.960
<v Speaker 2>four starter, I'm I'm okay with that, okay, because you've

717
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.880
<v Speaker 2>got three starters ahead of him to anchor your rotation.

718
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:41.039
<v Speaker 2>If you're looking at him as a number three, that's

719
00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:44.239
<v Speaker 2>a little bit too much risk for me. Rich I

720
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:48.159
<v Speaker 2>would just hey, I hope it works out. I hope

721
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Zach Wheeler returns to, you know, the form that we've

722
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:58.000
<v Speaker 2>seen over the past five six years. But again that

723
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:01.599
<v Speaker 2>surgery and the risk associated with it. Like I said,

724
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:04.840
<v Speaker 2>as a number four, yeah, okay, as a number three,

725
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:06.360
<v Speaker 2>that's a pass for me.

726
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd like to see I think he could really

727
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.400
<v Speaker 1>go up if if we see him in spring training,

728
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:14.800
<v Speaker 1>which we should soon, if he's throwing ninety seven miles

729
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:18.119
<v Speaker 1>an hour and dominating, I think he's going to start

730
00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:20.840
<v Speaker 1>flying up draft charts, and I think rightly, so.

731
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, then you'll end up buying him as a number two,

732
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:27.800
<v Speaker 2>which I won't, which I won't do either. I'll look

733
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:32.119
<v Speaker 2>at a Freddy Perralta type or Dylan Cees and much

734
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:33.880
<v Speaker 2>more comfortable dynasty.

735
00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:38.599
<v Speaker 1>League owners or managers need to not again. Things can change.

736
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:40.840
<v Speaker 1>But Zach Wheeler has said a couple of years ago,

737
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:43.039
<v Speaker 1>and to reiterate it again last year, this is his

738
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:44.880
<v Speaker 1>last season he wants to do.

739
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:48.960
<v Speaker 2>He said twenties. Yeah, he said twenty seven, okay, his

740
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:51.760
<v Speaker 2>last season.

741
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:51.719
<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was twenty six.

742
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No. I took and looked up the article on

743
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.239
<v Speaker 2>today and it says twenty seven will be his final season.

744
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Right now, it doesn't look like we're going to have

745
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:04.360
<v Speaker 2>a twenty twenty seven, so twenty twenty six could be

746
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:04.840
<v Speaker 2>it rich.

747
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I told my wife about the debacle with

748
00:42:11.159 --> 00:42:14.559
<v Speaker 1>Tony Clark. She just shook her head, like, what's wrong

749
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:17.000
<v Speaker 1>with these guys? Like I have no idea?

750
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I I don't know, But like we discussed last

751
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:26.000
<v Speaker 2>week Thanks Thanksgiving in that household, it's going to be

752
00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:30.880
<v Speaker 2>not good definitely on let's see.

753
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's first, and we already talked about Himaya, you're

754
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:35.840
<v Speaker 1>not worried about his debut. He did not look good

755
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:38.719
<v Speaker 1>ninety three point three. It was only an any It

756
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:41.639
<v Speaker 1>was a clean aning. It wasn't the result, it was

757
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:44.599
<v Speaker 1>just the fastball was not what I think anybody thought

758
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:46.400
<v Speaker 1>it would be. The other guy that I'm starting to

759
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.039
<v Speaker 1>get a little worried about, and he is starting to

760
00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:52.519
<v Speaker 1>drop in drafts, and that is Josh hater because there

761
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:55.639
<v Speaker 1>is no timetable. The report came out yesterday for him

762
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to start throwing yet, and this is starting to get disconcerting.

763
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Abner Yurib should go a little bit ahead of

764
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Brian a Bray, but not by much. I think you've

765
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:18.199
<v Speaker 2>got to be moving a bray you up somewhere between twelfth, thirteenth,

766
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:21.840
<v Speaker 2>fourteenth round and again when you start looking at the

767
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:24.800
<v Speaker 2>strikeout potential from U Braid in addition to the fact

768
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that he is the unquestioned, unquestioned number two guy in

769
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:32.719
<v Speaker 2>that bullpen. I'm the sort of guy that I'm staying

770
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:36.800
<v Speaker 2>away from Hater, but I'm all over a brave you, okay.

771
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:41.559
<v Speaker 2>And once I see Hater off the board, yeah, my

772
00:43:41.719 --> 00:43:45.360
<v Speaker 2>interest in a Brewer gets gets drawn to the fore

773
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:47.679
<v Speaker 2>rather quickly. I'll take him the next round or the

774
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.360
<v Speaker 2>round after that right away, just just because I like

775
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.360
<v Speaker 2>a Brellier. I Hey, if Hater is healthy, that's great.

776
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:58.719
<v Speaker 2>But man, I don't think he's going to start the

777
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:01.920
<v Speaker 2>season on time. So you're already pushing it back a

778
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:05.840
<v Speaker 2>little bit. If they rush him, who knows what's gonna

779
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:09.039
<v Speaker 2>what's gonna shake down. I'm just not comfortable with it.

780
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's a pass for me as well.

781
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I Mean, look at this Josh Hater. We've been talking

782
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:17.840
<v Speaker 1>about Hater and Garrett Cole and Zach Wheeler. These are

783
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:21.840
<v Speaker 1>like stallwarts, and it's like you can't believe that they're

784
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:24.239
<v Speaker 1>hurt and that they might not have a great season.

785
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:27.480
<v Speaker 1>But when you haven't thrown and it is March first,

786
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:28.679
<v Speaker 1>that's a problem.

787
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Yet, well, yeah, it's it's a rather big one. I

788
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:38.480
<v Speaker 2>just don't I'm just staying away. Hey, it could work

789
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:42.039
<v Speaker 2>out fine, but I'm not taking that chance. I'll invest

790
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:44.400
<v Speaker 2>in a brave before I invest in ad this year.

791
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:45.920
<v Speaker 2>So interesting.

792
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:49.599
<v Speaker 1>Two interesting spring training stats versus a really weird one.

793
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Vance Honeycut, the young outfielder with the Baltimore Orioles, has

794
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:57.239
<v Speaker 1>gotten three at bats. He's got three home runs. Last

795
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:59.719
<v Speaker 1>year he struck out about half the time. How about

796
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:01.920
<v Speaker 1>your the there's anything there, but it is a weird

797
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.519
<v Speaker 1>stat that actually made MLB dot com When you go there,

798
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:08.880
<v Speaker 1>it's the lead story, Sarah, I know that, and uh uh.

799
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Connor Griffin also has three hits and three home runs.

800
00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.480
<v Speaker 1>He's been up more times, but he did go one

801
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:19.599
<v Speaker 1>for three today with another home run. So thoughts on

802
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Connor Griffin are you, if you're if you're a Pittsburgh

803
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Pirates fan, are you getting excited that there's a chance

804
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:28.440
<v Speaker 1>he breaks camp or does he need more time seasoned?

805
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh? I think that the most excited I would be

806
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:38.199
<v Speaker 2>is when I heard back in November that he was

807
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:42.400
<v Speaker 2>getting an invite to camp, and the Pirates' Powers to

808
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Be said, yeah, we're going to give him a little

809
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:49.480
<v Speaker 2>bit legitimate chance to hold down, hold down, the hold down,

810
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:51.679
<v Speaker 2>the fort breaking camp. That's when I would have been

811
00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:56.519
<v Speaker 2>at my peak. Uh again there, I believe you mentioned

812
00:45:56.519 --> 00:45:58.840
<v Speaker 2>it when we were off air, before we got on

813
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:01.079
<v Speaker 2>the You know, the Pirates are looking at extending him

814
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:02.960
<v Speaker 2>an offer. Well, they extend him an off or he

815
00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:05.719
<v Speaker 2>takes it, Yeah, he'll be there. If not, I think

816
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:07.199
<v Speaker 2>he's back in the minors.

817
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't think for long. Look the I'll say it,

818
00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it again. It's all about Paul Skeens. The

819
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh Pirates will not be able to re sign Paul Skeens.

820
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:23.280
<v Speaker 1>And as we've seen with the Tigers and Tarrek Schoogle,

821
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:26.199
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do everything they can to win with

822
00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Paul Skeens. And because you're not, Paul Skeens is not

823
00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:35.719
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to be in the Pittsburgh organization. Another

824
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:38.480
<v Speaker 1>type of guy like Paul Skeans for a long long time.

825
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:41.039
<v Speaker 1>It's just he's just a unicorn and you got to

826
00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:43.199
<v Speaker 1>go for it. And if if you can bring up

827
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Connor Griffin and let him struggle for a couple of

828
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:47.920
<v Speaker 1>months before he takes off. I think you do that

829
00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:51.119
<v Speaker 1>and you're playing for the second half of twenty twenty six,

830
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.119
<v Speaker 1>but more likely twenty twenty seven, where you start to

831
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:56.280
<v Speaker 1>get this core group that can really make things move.

832
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and again I hope that's eroded Irates, you know,

833
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:04.400
<v Speaker 2>take But I do remember when Andrew McCutcheon was in

834
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:06.880
<v Speaker 2>his prime. The Pirates had a very very good team,

835
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:10.360
<v Speaker 2>and they had a loaded minor league system, and they

836
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:12.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't bring any of their minor leaguers up. They just

837
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.000
<v Speaker 2>played through it. They went to I believe, back to

838
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:18.880
<v Speaker 2>back wild card situations, one and done and that was

839
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:23.639
<v Speaker 2>all she wrote. So I just don't know what direction

840
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh's going to go in. They've already proven in the past,

841
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:32.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, their commitment is to the wallet. Let's let's

842
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:34.639
<v Speaker 2>hope that's not going to be the case with Connor

843
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Griffin and we see him sooner as compared to later.

844
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Rich I know, we get a lot of listeners, a

845
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:42.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of new listeners this time of year as they're

846
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:45.079
<v Speaker 1>prepping for the draft and we're getting it into our

847
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:47.679
<v Speaker 1>closer report in a minute here. But if I made

848
00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:52.480
<v Speaker 1>timmy need, I need to emote about something that that

849
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:55.239
<v Speaker 1>I found out about this week. May I do that?

850
00:47:56.840 --> 00:48:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Yes, nothing beats a good Rich Wilson rant to conclude

851
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:04.280
<v Speaker 2>our opening notes.

852
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:10.320
<v Speaker 1>So we sold our beach house in North Carolina, and

853
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:14.559
<v Speaker 1>before you know, we were there moving stuff around. And

854
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to watch a game on MLB and I

855
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:20.480
<v Speaker 1>brought it up on the TV and it was blank.

856
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:22.679
<v Speaker 1>It just was black. And you know, I had the

857
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:24.920
<v Speaker 1>MLB app. It was a Samsung TV and it just

858
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:27.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't work. And you know, we had too much stuff

859
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:29.280
<v Speaker 1>going on. I said, look, I wanted to have this

860
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:30.960
<v Speaker 1>in the background. I don't. I don't know what the

861
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:34.119
<v Speaker 1>problem is. I'll figure it out later. Get back up here.

862
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to watch a game on MLB this past week.

863
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:39.360
<v Speaker 1>And I go to and I have MLB TV. I've

864
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:42.000
<v Speaker 1>had it for years and I go, yes, bring up,

865
00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:46.880
<v Speaker 1>bring up the app and it's black, Like what's going

866
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:49.159
<v Speaker 1>on here? So I start to dig in and you know,

867
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I waste an hour of my time. Turns out my

868
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:56.599
<v Speaker 1>TV and it's not like these TVs are old tim

869
00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and Samsung's the biggest maker of televisions. This is not

870
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:04.679
<v Speaker 1>like I got some winkedine kind of this is a Samsung.

871
00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, right, that's right, I think so. And my

872
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:17.039
<v Speaker 1>TV is not supported by MLB TV. I'm like, what

873
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 1>do you mean my TV is not supported? It's it's

874
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:22.400
<v Speaker 1>like a like a generic it's not like something fancy.

875
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:23.559
<v Speaker 1>It's just a TV.

876
00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:26.679
<v Speaker 2>And it's not like my twenty six inch color that's

877
00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:29.639
<v Speaker 2>sitting in the living room right now. It's real.

878
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:33.679
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, it's it's what you know. It's everything

879
00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:36.960
<v Speaker 1>else works, Netflix, who look, you name it. They all work,

880
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:39.599
<v Speaker 1>and they all worked at the beach House thing. So

881
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what the hell is going on? All of

882
00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:45.239
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, I start to dig into it and it's like, well,

883
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.679
<v Speaker 1>MLB has now decided to work with ESPN for the

884
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:54.239
<v Speaker 1>next three years, and they're no longer really supporting their

885
00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:57.719
<v Speaker 1>MLB dot TV app and you've actually got to go

886
00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:03.639
<v Speaker 1>through ESPN to get the MLB package. I'm like, what

887
00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:06.719
<v Speaker 1>the hell, Like what do you mean? So I'm like,

888
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:09.440
<v Speaker 1>how do I do that? And I'm trying, and I'm

889
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:12.760
<v Speaker 1>not a rocket scientist. I'll give everybody now, but I'm

890
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:17.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty technically savvy and I cannot figure out how to

891
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:21.760
<v Speaker 1>purchase this thing. And they say, well, we have a

892
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:25.079
<v Speaker 1>cable provider, per FiOS. Well you got to contact FiOS

893
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:28.719
<v Speaker 1>and they'll cook it up to your ESPN. And I

894
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:30.880
<v Speaker 1>couldn't figure that. It just didn't happen. They never sent

895
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:33.199
<v Speaker 1>me an email. So then I get on the phone

896
00:50:33.239 --> 00:50:35.920
<v Speaker 1>with the ESPN people and they said, well, you got

897
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to let your MLB TV package kind of expire, which

898
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:43.239
<v Speaker 1>is to day or yesterday, and it finally expired, and

899
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.239
<v Speaker 1>then we'll get you all set up. So I got

900
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to get back on the phone with the ESPN guys, Timmy,

901
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:50.119
<v Speaker 1>just to get it set up. You go through the

902
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Espn ESPN app. You no longer go through MLBtv. I'm like,

903
00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:59.119
<v Speaker 1>why did they do this? Like it worked? Fine, I

904
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:00.719
<v Speaker 1>don't get it.

905
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:02.920
<v Speaker 2>There's got to be money. It's got to be money rich.

906
00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:04.920
<v Speaker 2>That's the only reason MLB does anything.

907
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, I dug a little bit deeper and they want

908
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you to sign up for ESPN Unlimited. Now again, if

909
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you cancel ESPN Unlimited, which it gives you every sport

910
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:19.280
<v Speaker 1>known to mankind, you can still keep the MLB TV,

911
00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:21.599
<v Speaker 1>but you've got to subscribe to it for a month.

912
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:25.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's the ESPN hook. But apparently my understanding is

913
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:30.320
<v Speaker 1>with all of the regional networks going out of business,

914
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:34.079
<v Speaker 1>they've all, they've all. MLB TV is going to be

915
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:39.840
<v Speaker 1>basically broadcasting all of their local stations, and that's why

916
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:42.840
<v Speaker 1>they decided to hook up with ESPN. Because ESPN's got

917
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:46.519
<v Speaker 1>a more technical savvy and a broader reach to do

918
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:49.400
<v Speaker 1>all of that. That's the reason they've they've done it,

919
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:53.159
<v Speaker 1>but for me, they've made it very, very inconvenient. Now,

920
00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:55.679
<v Speaker 1>maybe it'll work out better, but it has been a

921
00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:56.639
<v Speaker 1>royal pain.

922
00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, I'm very happy with my one hundred

923
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:05.400
<v Speaker 2>and sixty two games minus Peacock of Toronto Blue Jays.

924
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even gonna bother. I'm not even gonna you're

925
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:10.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna bother trying to play that game, Rich, I said,

926
00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I can see enough baseball. Granted it's gonna be blue

927
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Jay heavy, but that's crazy. You would think it would

928
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:20.360
<v Speaker 2>make it as easy as possible to get people to

929
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:22.920
<v Speaker 2>pay them money, and and in turn they're not.

930
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Are they everything that you buy today, Timmy is click here,

931
00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you click it, put in your credit card, another click, done,

932
00:52:33.320 --> 00:52:35.960
<v Speaker 1>And this was like, no, you got to call talk

933
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:39.039
<v Speaker 1>to somebody and it's like, what is going on? I mean,

934
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:42.440
<v Speaker 1>this is and like the NFL, all that stuff just works,

935
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:45.639
<v Speaker 1>like this stuff is just made. They made it so difficult,

936
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and I just don't get it.

937
00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:54.360
<v Speaker 2>No, I Hey, I I support your your angst. I'm

938
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:56.440
<v Speaker 2>just not gonna have anything to do with it. Hey,

939
00:52:56.480 --> 00:52:59.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm like the country. I'll probably have sixteen extra buttons

940
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:02.760
<v Speaker 2>to hit. Okay, yeah, I don't want to play around

941
00:53:02.840 --> 00:53:05.679
<v Speaker 2>with that. If they don't, if they don't want your money,

942
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:08.559
<v Speaker 2>find a find a different avenue would be my suggestion.

943
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:14.679
<v Speaker 1>It to stop getting certain televisions is so lame, like

944
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:18.079
<v Speaker 1>this tell us and just be up front and open

945
00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to say, hey, by the end, by March first, you

946
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:22.360
<v Speaker 1>got to switch over. Here's a button to click, and

947
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:24.360
<v Speaker 1>you'll be good. But no, it wasn't that. It was

948
00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:27.320
<v Speaker 1>all hidden and it's like it wasn't anything obvious as

949
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:29.119
<v Speaker 1>to what to do, and it was very annoying.

950
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can see. I just made my last pick

951
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:35.559
<v Speaker 2>in a fifty round draft and hold I went with

952
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:38.880
<v Speaker 2>a Rockies pitcher. Can you believe that you did what?

953
00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go?

954
00:53:40.079 --> 00:53:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Quintana, no one mahea, oh okay to.

955
00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Me to come back and let's do your closer report.

956
00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:51.400
<v Speaker 1>The original, the initial closer report for twenty twenty six.

957
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Looking forward to it.

958
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Last year, the closer report was pretty stable throughout the year. Obviously,

959
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:12.719
<v Speaker 1>when the trade deadline came, it became crazy because all

960
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the competing teams took everybody's closer and put them together

961
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:21.719
<v Speaker 1>on their team to create these super relief. Course, when

962
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at the table here, do you think it's

963
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:28.199
<v Speaker 1>going to be another stable year where you're going to

964
00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:31.199
<v Speaker 1>have guys that are going to remain as closers, or

965
00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:35.639
<v Speaker 1>do you see a more typical year which is upside

966
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:40.360
<v Speaker 1>down and backwards and ford Every week there's multiple pictures

967
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:43.119
<v Speaker 1>that are the closer for a particular team.

968
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, if you go back to twenty twenty four, okay,

969
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:50.559
<v Speaker 2>life was good. All the closer state closers. It was

970
00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:53.159
<v Speaker 2>rather boring in twenty twenty four, and then we headed

971
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:58.360
<v Speaker 2>in it last year, and yeah, the early thinking was, well,

972
00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I worked in twenty twenty four, could go wrong in

973
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:04.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, and everything went wrong at least in

974
00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the second half of the season. Right now, I'm looking

975
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:13.800
<v Speaker 2>at a grand total of nine teams running committees, okay,

976
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:17.039
<v Speaker 2>which is a third of your bullpens in baseball have

977
00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:21.760
<v Speaker 2>not established a defining closer. That's a third of the

978
00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:24.119
<v Speaker 2>teams in the game. I think we're going to have

979
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:28.400
<v Speaker 2>more of twenty twenty five, except I think it's going

980
00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to be more of a season. Yeah, it's gonna be

981
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:34.880
<v Speaker 2>more of a full season shuffle, not just a two

982
00:55:34.920 --> 00:55:37.039
<v Speaker 2>to three months. I think it's I think it's gonna

983
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:41.199
<v Speaker 2>be a dog's breakfast. And again that's one of the

984
00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:48.679
<v Speaker 2>reasons why when looking at the established i'll call elite closers. Yeah,

985
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:51.880
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a group of five of them. Okay, that

986
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:55.639
<v Speaker 2>fit that quality for me. After that you're into a

987
00:55:55.679 --> 00:55:59.960
<v Speaker 2>middle tier and after that you're trying to toss educated darts.

988
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:05.239
<v Speaker 2>So for me, getting one of those top five closures

989
00:56:05.559 --> 00:56:07.159
<v Speaker 2>is imperative.

990
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:13.679
<v Speaker 1>For all of us Americans, I'm going to give everybody. Ah,

991
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to save you from having to go to

992
00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:19.800
<v Speaker 1>your computer. A dog's breakfast or dog's dinner is an

993
00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:23.800
<v Speaker 1>informal British idiom for something that is a total mess, chaotic,

994
00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:29.239
<v Speaker 1>or extremely badly done. It refers to disorganization, disorganized, botched,

995
00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:32.760
<v Speaker 1>or poorly arranged situation. There you go, So that just

996
00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that was what dogs used, dog's breakfast, and that's that's

997
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:38.760
<v Speaker 1>a rare term that you use. So I just wanted

998
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to give everybody a heads up at origins was the

999
00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:44.599
<v Speaker 1>nineteen thirties suggested if you felt like cooking or a

1000
00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:47.840
<v Speaker 1>task that results an only fit for a dog, that's

1001
00:56:48.039 --> 00:56:50.239
<v Speaker 1>that's entomology of it. So there you go.

1002
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, the Canadian equivalent to that is cluster blank.

1003
00:56:54.800 --> 00:56:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we have that one too.

1004
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, we had to with American idiot.

1005
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:05.079
<v Speaker 1>North American idiot. But the dog, the dog's breaths, that's

1006
00:57:05.159 --> 00:57:08.199
<v Speaker 1>very very funny. Okay, send me. So let's so, why

1007
00:57:08.199 --> 00:57:12.000
<v Speaker 1>don't you go through, Uh, I'm gonna read out teams

1008
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and tell me where you start to get worried. Dodgers, Mariners, Phillies, Edwin,

1009
00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Diz Muno, is Durant.

1010
00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Good, Yeah, we're good. Up to that, we're good. Up

1011
00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:25.800
<v Speaker 2>to Kate Smith at number five.

1012
00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so Mason Miller, Kate Smith with the padres and guardians,

1013
00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:35.280
<v Speaker 1>So they're your elite? Would you consider them to be

1014
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the elite? Closer?

1015
00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, those those five again, when I look at them,

1016
00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Miller seems to be the primo choice. Right now? Is

1017
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:50.639
<v Speaker 2>number one as the number one overall. I've down shifted

1018
00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:53.239
<v Speaker 2>a bit on Miller because at one hundred and five

1019
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:56.639
<v Speaker 2>miles an hour, I just don't know how much how

1020
00:57:56.719 --> 00:58:00.079
<v Speaker 2>much that arm is gonna take. Okay, we saw a

1021
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:04.079
<v Speaker 2>minor league history which was what seventeen innings or something

1022
00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:06.960
<v Speaker 2>like that. Yeah, he just couldn't stay healthy. I've shifted

1023
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Miller down, but the top five are all elite, and

1024
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:17.119
<v Speaker 2>I recommend them as targets, targets for everyone. After that

1025
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:18.159
<v Speaker 2>we get into the middle core.

1026
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've never actually rostered Mason Miller. I mean, and

1027
00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:26.360
<v Speaker 1>it's sole reason. It's not his stuff, which is some

1028
00:58:26.440 --> 00:58:28.599
<v Speaker 1>of the best in the game. If you could just

1029
00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:31.000
<v Speaker 1>take a look at I mean, it's absolutely off the chart.

1030
00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just he's never been able to stay healthy.

1031
00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Except when he got to the major leagues. He's basically

1032
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:39.800
<v Speaker 1>been health He's had a couple of stints, But I

1033
00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:43.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think God intended for man to throw one hundred

1034
00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:45.559
<v Speaker 1>and five miles an hour one hundred and four. I

1035
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:47.360
<v Speaker 1>just thought, I'm sure that works.

1036
00:58:48.639 --> 00:58:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Well. I you know how we always say pitchers break Okay,

1037
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:55.960
<v Speaker 2>of the top of the top five, if you had

1038
00:58:56.000 --> 00:58:59.239
<v Speaker 2>to factor in injury risk, which is what I've tried

1039
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:03.719
<v Speaker 2>to do. I man four, it's like it. I agree

1040
00:59:03.760 --> 00:59:07.199
<v Speaker 2>totally is stuff is unbelievable. But how long can he

1041
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:10.920
<v Speaker 2>continue to do what he's done. I don't know, there's

1042
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:11.960
<v Speaker 2>doubt in my mind.

1043
00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:15.000
<v Speaker 1>So I just as an aside, I've actually talked with

1044
00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of pitching gurus or guys who study the

1045
00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:23.920
<v Speaker 1>kinesiology of pitching in the mechanics and so forth, and

1046
00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:27.719
<v Speaker 1>the number I have heard is the absolute upper limit

1047
00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:30.400
<v Speaker 1>for the human body to be able to throw a

1048
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:32.960
<v Speaker 1>baseball would be about one hundred and six to one

1049
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:35.719
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seven miles an hour. They do not believe

1050
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that man can go over that. Now, they also believe

1051
00:59:38.039 --> 00:59:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you couldnt run a four minute mile, and people blew

1052
00:59:41.000 --> 00:59:45.360
<v Speaker 1>past that. But that's seems what these experts believe is

1053
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:49.159
<v Speaker 1>somewhere around. So we're getting pretty close with Mason Miller

1054
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:53.079
<v Speaker 1>at being at the absolute upper limit to what people

1055
00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:55.239
<v Speaker 1>believe a human body is capable of.

1056
00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I started to look at one hundred miles an

1057
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:02.559
<v Speaker 2>hour right now for me, you that's that's throwing the

1058
01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:05.480
<v Speaker 2>ball hard, one hundred and one, one hundred and two,

1059
01:00:05.639 --> 01:00:09.719
<v Speaker 2>every everything over and above that. I think has got

1060
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:16.639
<v Speaker 2>to increase the opportunity for injury. That's my that's that's

1061
01:00:16.679 --> 01:00:18.800
<v Speaker 2>my training of thoughts. He had one O two, one

1062
01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:20.840
<v Speaker 2>o three, one oh four. Yeah, he might have three

1063
01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:22.559
<v Speaker 2>more miles per hour in the tank, but one hundred

1064
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:26.199
<v Speaker 2>and four miles an hour he's bringing it. That's an

1065
01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>incredible pressure on that arm.

1066
01:00:27.920 --> 01:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>And you kill you do get unicorns like a rolled

1067
01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>as Chapman. That just thirty eight. He's just continued to

1068
01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>throw one hundred miles an hour and nothing seems to

1069
01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>slow this guy down. But most guys break and lebron

1070
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Jay is you know the Yankee young Yankee kid who

1071
01:00:43.400 --> 01:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I saw Tom last season. It's the next guy who

1072
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>said one O two, one oh three consistently. You know,

1073
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just you just you just worry about guys. Let

1074
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that throw that hard.

1075
01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Bring him up right now, use him, use him quick,

1076
01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:00.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, take advantage of take advantage of that situation.

1077
01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Wilet's at hand. The longer you wait, obviously, the yeah,

1078
01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the odds aren't your favor right.

1079
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:11.519
<v Speaker 1>The next group being tell me when to stop Yankees

1080
01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>with bender braves, with the glaciers, Mets with Williams Orioles

1081
01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>with Hellsley Red Sox with Chapman, Marlin's with Fairbanks, Blue

1082
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Jays with Hoffman Brewers with mcgilli.

1083
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:32.880
<v Speaker 2>No, sorry, no, keep keep going rich sorry yes with Palencia,

1084
01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:37.639
<v Speaker 2>Correct Royals with Ess Right.

1085
01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>You gotta stop at Reds with Pegan. That's that's ah.

1086
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Where does the middle tier end?

1087
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:54.239
<v Speaker 2>The middle tier ends for me at Santana.

1088
01:01:55.320 --> 01:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So, okay, so we've got bagone Kenley Janssen. Oh,

1089
01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:02.039
<v Speaker 1>just rusher for me with all my with all my

1090
01:02:02.119 --> 01:02:03.079
<v Speaker 1>shares of will Best.

1091
01:02:03.639 --> 01:02:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, you'll do well with will Best.

1092
01:02:08.519 --> 01:02:12.559
<v Speaker 1>Danny Santana. Yeah, I say the next group starting with Domingos,

1093
01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>so please.

1094
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and going right down that list, that is your.

1095
01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:21.159
<v Speaker 1>That's your problemings down to Ginkle.

1096
01:02:24.039 --> 01:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's yeah. I think if you look at everybody

1097
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:31.519
<v Speaker 2>in the group that we just mentioned, they're all capable

1098
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:36.320
<v Speaker 2>of being fine closers. But there's also question marks associated

1099
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:39.880
<v Speaker 2>with each and every one of them. Right now, Okay,

1100
01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>the group below Santana, there's question marks with everybody across

1101
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>the board in that mess. That's you're you're getting into

1102
01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>that dog's breakfast. Toss a dark part of the program.

1103
01:02:53.719 --> 01:02:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Out of that middle tier. Give me two to three,

1104
01:02:56.679 --> 01:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>two or three guys that worry you the most that

1105
01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, hey, they got the job. It looks pretty secure,

1106
01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>but something there wereries you either the setup or next

1107
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>guy in line are too good to keep down, or

1108
01:03:13.400 --> 01:03:17.599
<v Speaker 1>that the person who's the closer now doesn't typically keep

1109
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>their job, or is there anybody in there that worries

1110
01:03:20.239 --> 01:03:21.199
<v Speaker 1>you in that middle tier.

1111
01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I have no shares of Jeff Hoffman, okay, and I

1112
01:03:25.639 --> 01:03:30.480
<v Speaker 2>lean to be a Jays fan. You know, their Canada's team,

1113
01:03:30.599 --> 01:03:33.239
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, so be it. But you know, hey, the

1114
01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Jays said at the end of last year that you know,

1115
01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:38.119
<v Speaker 2>upgrading their bullpen was going to be a priority. Well

1116
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>they picked up Tyler Rogers. Okay, yeah, good picture. He

1117
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:47.440
<v Speaker 2>hasn't traditionally been a ninth inning guy. But Jeff Hoffman

1118
01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>last year was a roller coaster coaster ride, and I

1119
01:03:50.880 --> 01:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's going to be anything but the same

1120
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>heading into this year. Okay, so hey, we're going to

1121
01:03:57.039 --> 01:04:01.199
<v Speaker 2>see Hoppins got the job. The thing that change is

1122
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>that when he takes the downswing on that roller coaster ride,

1123
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:10.119
<v Speaker 2>then you're gonna see Rogers and Louis Arland enter into

1124
01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:14.599
<v Speaker 2>the equation. I think fairly quickly, so Jeff Hoffman, Nogel,

1125
01:04:15.760 --> 01:04:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the Brewers, Hey, McGill, Nogel, I will invest in Abner Eureba,

1126
01:04:22.079 --> 01:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>but I will not touch McGill. Josh Hader right now?

1127
01:04:25.039 --> 01:04:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Why not?

1128
01:04:25.519 --> 01:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>McGill has been somewhat consistent.

1129
01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:31.840
<v Speaker 2>He hasn't had a full season where he hasn't ended

1130
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>up on the IL at some point in time. He

1131
01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:37.719
<v Speaker 2>had a PRP thing for his four arm elbow in

1132
01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:44.079
<v Speaker 2>the offseason. That doesn't say to me that anything is

1133
01:04:44.079 --> 01:04:46.280
<v Speaker 2>going to change as far as his health status. For

1134
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:49.880
<v Speaker 2>he's a good pitcher and he's capable of twenty five

1135
01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:55.760
<v Speaker 2>to thirty saves. But even right now in Milwaukee, coming

1136
01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:58.599
<v Speaker 2>out of Milwaukee, they're very they're very comfortable with abnue

1137
01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Uiba in the ninth inning, and they've stated that, they've

1138
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:05.800
<v Speaker 2>stated it might be a committee Okay, right out of

1139
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:08.239
<v Speaker 2>the gate. That's how comfortable they are with your rebate.

1140
01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>So why would you pay any sort of premium for McGill? I? Hey,

1141
01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:17.159
<v Speaker 2>I drafted your rebate in labor two spots before McGill

1142
01:05:17.199 --> 01:05:20.639
<v Speaker 2>was draft drafted. So that's that's where my thoughts are.

1143
01:05:22.159 --> 01:05:26.079
<v Speaker 1>See and Glacias you mentioned, really struggled and part of

1144
01:05:26.119 --> 01:05:31.079
<v Speaker 1>the the the season and Robert Suarez. I'm I'm not

1145
01:05:31.119 --> 01:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>looking at the data, but he was the top closer

1146
01:05:35.039 --> 01:05:36.960
<v Speaker 1>over the last three years in terms of number of

1147
01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:40.639
<v Speaker 1>saves I have. I'm not me personally, but if I

1148
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:44.119
<v Speaker 1>had him in a Donasty league, would you be dropping

1149
01:05:44.239 --> 01:05:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Robert Suarez or would you be looking to acquire Robert Suarez?

1150
01:05:49.239 --> 01:05:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Acquire. I think Iglesias is the guy that they

1151
01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:55.079
<v Speaker 2>want for this year. But in the event we see

1152
01:05:55.079 --> 01:05:57.119
<v Speaker 2>a repeat of when you you know where he struggled

1153
01:05:57.239 --> 01:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>last year. I only think Braves will hesitate at all

1154
01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to bring Suarez into the ninth inning. Okay, they won't

1155
01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:08.039
<v Speaker 2>run two months of a struggling ratio to Glacias in

1156
01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:11.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty six. That that just will not happen. If

1157
01:06:11.559 --> 01:06:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I had a Glacias, I'd want a handcuff in Robert Suarez.

1158
01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Definitely same same here, and I'm hoping somebody drops Robert

1159
01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Swares in our dynasty es. I think that's the guy

1160
01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>that you want. I mean, he's he's all these challengers

1161
01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>came to him, and even Mason Miller. He was when

1162
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>the Padres acquired Mason Miller was still Robert Suarez. That

1163
01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:37.159
<v Speaker 1>was closing after they cut Mason Miller. So he's has

1164
01:06:37.239 --> 01:06:40.199
<v Speaker 1>turned away better pictures than him. It just keeps getting

1165
01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:41.519
<v Speaker 1>it done.

1166
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and hey, Suarez is a great picture. So, like

1167
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I said, I that's that's where you get into you know,

1168
01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:52.679
<v Speaker 2>you look at bed near. Okay, he's had his moments

1169
01:06:52.679 --> 01:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>over the past few years where he's been a free

1170
01:06:56.760 --> 01:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>agent in Dynasty leagues. People have cut him loose because

1171
01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>he's been that bad over the past couple of years,

1172
01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:04.840
<v Speaker 2>he's hurt Glaciers, has had his moments. Devin Williams we

1173
01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:08.679
<v Speaker 2>talked about in the last segment. Hellsley didn't look great

1174
01:07:08.719 --> 01:07:12.039
<v Speaker 2>in the second half. Our oldest Chapman is the thirty

1175
01:07:12.079 --> 01:07:16.239
<v Speaker 2>eight Pete Fairbanks had a hard time getting a job. Hoffman.

1176
01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>We saw that McGill, hell Josh Hader, who knows what's

1177
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>going to happen there before the beginning of the year.

1178
01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I actually like Danny Palentia bit with the cup.

1179
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Ye I know you do, man. I like Filmington too. Yeah,

1180
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:30.679
<v Speaker 1>he's a solid pitcher mm hmm.

1181
01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Palentia can really brand, you know, you get to

1182
01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:36.840
<v Speaker 2>ask of his and be gone. Henry Jensen, Santana, some

1183
01:07:36.960 --> 01:07:40.360
<v Speaker 2>of these guys will get moved like Kenley Jansen. I

1184
01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:42.800
<v Speaker 2>don't see a thirty plus save season in there. I

1185
01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>think he'll be the principal closer, but I think they'll

1186
01:07:44.920 --> 01:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>also be enough for will Vest to get eight to

1187
01:07:47.079 --> 01:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>ten saves in there. They're not going to work Henry

1188
01:07:49.559 --> 01:07:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Jansen in three out of four days.

1189
01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, buddy, talking on what's what's the chances of Amelia?

1190
01:07:55.880 --> 01:07:59.639
<v Speaker 1>But God, lightning striking twice here in him having another

1191
01:08:00.159 --> 01:08:01.559
<v Speaker 1>is phenomenal last season.

1192
01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, we had a we had a cottage camp

1193
01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:07.559
<v Speaker 2>in North Bay for years and it got hit by

1194
01:08:07.639 --> 01:08:14.199
<v Speaker 2>lighting five times. So it can't happen. Rich, it can't happen.

1195
01:08:14.559 --> 01:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>You weren't in the place when I got hit by lightning?

1196
01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Hope three times? Yes?

1197
01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Really? What's that light?

1198
01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Uh? Dark, very quickly, brilliant flash of light, glass

1199
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:30.479
<v Speaker 2>all over the place. It imploded the TV s that

1200
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:36.239
<v Speaker 2>we were watching TV. There's pace, big noise, big flash, darkness,

1201
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:41.000
<v Speaker 2>lots of yelling looking for alcohol and cleaning up the mess.

1202
01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>That's funny, Timmy. Let's take a break and get back

1203
01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and let's talk about these dreads at the end. Fortunately

1204
01:08:58.680 --> 01:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>did this, uh talking about closers every week and we

1205
01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>will talk about these last ten or so more times

1206
01:09:07.800 --> 01:09:10.119
<v Speaker 1>than we than we want to. But that's just the

1207
01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>nature of the beast.

1208
01:09:13.479 --> 01:09:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's probably fair to say of the last

1209
01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:23.960
<v Speaker 2>where is it nine teams or ten teams on this list?

1210
01:09:24.119 --> 01:09:28.520
<v Speaker 2>They will generate thirty mentions on the waiver water this year.

1211
01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy, Okay, Santa. I mean to mean guys like

1212
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>with the White Sox they signed him. I mean, he's

1213
01:09:35.720 --> 01:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>got to get the job. But I don't understand. Grant

1214
01:09:37.840 --> 01:09:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Taylor looked really good last season. I thought they would.

1215
01:09:41.079 --> 01:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I think you should be a starter. Maybe they're going

1216
01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:46.239
<v Speaker 1>to make him a multi any reliever. That's why he's

1217
01:09:46.279 --> 01:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>not scheduled to close. There's been talked that they'll treat

1218
01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:52.479
<v Speaker 1>him like they did Chrysale, even though I don't think

1219
01:09:52.560 --> 01:09:55.680
<v Speaker 1>any there's anybody left in the White Sox organization that

1220
01:09:55.800 --> 01:09:59.039
<v Speaker 1>was there when Chrissale was there. I get the sentiment,

1221
01:09:59.079 --> 01:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>but it just feels Grant Taylor's the best picture in

1222
01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:02.439
<v Speaker 1>that bullpen.

1223
01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:09.199
<v Speaker 2>I agree. Unfortunately, the White White Sox have got a

1224
01:10:09.319 --> 01:10:12.680
<v Speaker 2>plan and a path plotted out. Originally I had Grant

1225
01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Taylor as the number two guy, and I've moved him

1226
01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:17.520
<v Speaker 2>back to number three, and it's got nothing to do

1227
01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:20.640
<v Speaker 2>with skill and ability. It looks like the White Sox

1228
01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:22.680
<v Speaker 2>want to get him into multi inning or into a

1229
01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:26.600
<v Speaker 2>multi inning role. Correct, Okay, Well if that's the case,

1230
01:10:28.079 --> 01:10:31.079
<v Speaker 2>how do you put him in the number two spot

1231
01:10:31.319 --> 01:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>as a setup guy to Domingus? I don't think he

1232
01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:36.680
<v Speaker 2>can and I think Grant Taylor. They want him to

1233
01:10:36.680 --> 01:10:38.359
<v Speaker 2>be a starter, and I think he will be, and

1234
01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:40.359
<v Speaker 2>I think they're following the path that they did with

1235
01:10:41.800 --> 01:10:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Chris Alee. Okay, and hey, I think he's the best

1236
01:10:46.439 --> 01:10:49.520
<v Speaker 2>arm of the three, but that's not the plan. And

1237
01:10:49.640 --> 01:10:52.399
<v Speaker 2>as much as we would like to say he should

1238
01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:54.880
<v Speaker 2>be the closer, the White Sox are going you know,

1239
01:10:54.920 --> 01:10:56.760
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be the ones to decide it. So

1240
01:10:57.439 --> 01:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I just don't see many saves. You know, he might

1241
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:02.840
<v Speaker 2>pitch the eighth ninth inning a few times, but they

1242
01:11:02.840 --> 01:11:05.279
<v Speaker 2>want to stretch him out. And I think come the

1243
01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:08.319
<v Speaker 2>second half he's going to be starting games.

1244
01:11:10.279 --> 01:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>It's where I think he belongs. But the mean guys, look,

1245
01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been down that path way too many times since

1246
01:11:14.600 --> 01:11:17.119
<v Speaker 1>you have it. It's it never ends. Well. Now, maybe

1247
01:11:17.159 --> 01:11:19.359
<v Speaker 1>he can pull up a gone and and and they

1248
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>put it all together finally, but no, no, thank.

1249
01:11:21.680 --> 01:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>You, no, Moss, No, and leisure doesn't suit me at all.

1250
01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a leisure suit when you were in

1251
01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>your everybody was right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I think

1252
01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:40.039
<v Speaker 1>it's in high school and that's what everybody was wearing.

1253
01:11:40.079 --> 01:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's like you had to have a leisure

1254
01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>suit and you look back on him and go, oh

1255
01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:45.479
<v Speaker 1>my word, I can't believe.

1256
01:11:45.199 --> 01:11:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Before a Yeah, I've had I've had days where I've

1257
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:53.920
<v Speaker 2>burnt pictures. Okay, burning picture parties, I'll follow them. Okay, yeah, dear,

1258
01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>that couldn't have been me. No, it was not.

1259
01:11:56.760 --> 01:11:59.279
<v Speaker 1>That was not a good That was not a good

1260
01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:03.680
<v Speaker 1>clothing trend there. Okay, the Rays, Jacks, Clevenger, Baker, it's

1261
01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:06.159
<v Speaker 1>a committee. I like. I think Jack's is the best

1262
01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>best picture in that group.

1263
01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, things have changed with the injury to Ev. When

1264
01:12:11.840 --> 01:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>you said, okay, coming into spring, it was a you

1265
01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:20.439
<v Speaker 2>said at Jack's Clevenger threesome. Well, you said, is dealing

1266
01:12:20.479 --> 01:12:26.119
<v Speaker 2>with a shoulder impedgement and shoulder issues, and he's out

1267
01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of that mix. And I think the beneficiary there is

1268
01:12:29.800 --> 01:12:34.479
<v Speaker 2>definitely I think Griffin Jack's I would, if I had

1269
01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:36.840
<v Speaker 2>to bet, I would I would go sixty forty that

1270
01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:39.800
<v Speaker 2>he starts in the closer role with the injury to

1271
01:12:39.920 --> 01:12:43.279
<v Speaker 2>you said of being being a good bit behind that

1272
01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:46.760
<v Speaker 2>one that decision. So I've got it as a committee

1273
01:12:46.800 --> 01:12:52.760
<v Speaker 2>for now. But I sort of like Griffin jacks amongst

1274
01:12:52.800 --> 01:12:55.439
<v Speaker 2>all of the other messes that we're going to discuss.

1275
01:12:56.359 --> 01:12:59.159
<v Speaker 1>And I know most people believe that the Rays run

1276
01:12:59.239 --> 01:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>with committees, but if you historically look at their bullpen,

1277
01:13:03.039 --> 01:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they typically have a closer.

1278
01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they do. They you know, they had Troy for

1279
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Percival for a while, you know, Bear Banks. Yeah, No,

1280
01:13:12.079 --> 01:13:15.479
<v Speaker 2>they They're not a They're not a team that is

1281
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:18.279
<v Speaker 2>hooked into a committee format, right.

1282
01:13:18.399 --> 01:13:22.399
<v Speaker 1>It just sometimes it plays out that way because there's

1283
01:13:22.399 --> 01:13:25.199
<v Speaker 1>nobody that claim it. So I think if Griffin Jackson

1284
01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>gets a shot, and he's always been the setup guy,

1285
01:13:27.960 --> 01:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and I think maybe this onely gives him a chance

1286
01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:32.079
<v Speaker 1>to be the closer the Giants. I thought it's interesting

1287
01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:35.039
<v Speaker 1>you had the Giants Walker down a little lower, even

1288
01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>though it's a stable situation and he's he held the

1289
01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>job pretty much last season. So why is so low

1290
01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:41.399
<v Speaker 1>with Walker?

1291
01:13:42.439 --> 01:13:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, he held the job, he lost the job, he

1292
01:13:44.640 --> 01:13:49.199
<v Speaker 2>held the job. I I don't know, are we going

1293
01:13:49.239 --> 01:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to see doctor Jeckel or mister hide from Walker? And

1294
01:13:52.079 --> 01:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sold that we're going to see the good doctor.

1295
01:13:55.800 --> 01:14:01.279
<v Speaker 2>And right now he's got the it's his to lose.

1296
01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:05.800
<v Speaker 2>But as we saw last year, he can lose it

1297
01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:08.119
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just not convinced that won't happen.

1298
01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:18.239
<v Speaker 1>With the athletics, Harris Sterner and Lighter Junior. Does Harris

1299
01:14:18.279 --> 01:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>have the I mean, you've got him in the closer

1300
01:14:21.000 --> 01:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>slot even though it's a committee. He seems like he

1301
01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:26.640
<v Speaker 1>is the odds on favorite decent stuff.

1302
01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think he's the odds on favorite. He held

1303
01:14:30.439 --> 01:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>it in September. Okay, the closer bit, but yeah, you

1304
01:14:35.039 --> 01:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>got to look at Sterner in that big fastball. He's

1305
01:14:39.640 --> 01:14:41.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be lurking in the shadows and he's a

1306
01:14:41.960 --> 01:14:48.279
<v Speaker 2>picture that I rather like heading into heading into drafts,

1307
01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:51.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, fifteen team drafts. I don't have any problems

1308
01:14:51.960 --> 01:14:54.560
<v Speaker 2>with somebody causing the dart at Sterner. I think he's

1309
01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:59.159
<v Speaker 2>a good pitcher. And again, only time will tell, but

1310
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:02.880
<v Speaker 2>definitely it's you know, I've a lot of people like

1311
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Mark Leiter. He's never he's never performed in a closing role.

1312
01:15:07.720 --> 01:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Now he was solid with the Yankees for years.

1313
01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he's solid. But I I think it's going

1314
01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:19.680
<v Speaker 2>to be one of Harris or Sterner. And the guy

1315
01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:22.199
<v Speaker 2>that I like is Sterner for the fastball velocity.

1316
01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:25.479
<v Speaker 1>You've already mentioned you like Jojo Romero a little bit

1317
01:15:25.479 --> 01:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>more than than O'Brien. Is that still because you took

1318
01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Romero in the draft?

1319
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? The the guy that I really like I like.

1320
01:15:36.359 --> 01:15:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I think Romero and O'Brien are going to be in

1321
01:15:38.600 --> 01:15:40.319
<v Speaker 2>a committee to start the year. You get to write,

1322
01:15:40.319 --> 01:15:42.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, lefty there. I think that'll work. But the

1323
01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:47.159
<v Speaker 2>guy that I really like, go check out Matt Spenson's

1324
01:15:47.760 --> 01:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>statcast page. That will bring a smile. I if you've

1325
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:57.560
<v Speaker 2>got the space, He's one guy that I would definitely

1326
01:15:57.680 --> 01:16:02.520
<v Speaker 2>look to add as soon as possible. I think he's

1327
01:16:02.520 --> 01:16:03.720
<v Speaker 2>got closure written all over.

1328
01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:07.239
<v Speaker 1>And Richard, I'll have to take a look at that.

1329
01:16:08.119 --> 01:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>My guy, Victor Vodnick because because I like saying Bodnick

1330
01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>someone he is the he's the closer, it says stable.

1331
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:20.399
<v Speaker 1>But he'll probably get what twenty five shots course about

1332
01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:21.680
<v Speaker 1>fifteen games.

1333
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:24.840
<v Speaker 2>It's the Rockies. Yeah, it's the Rockies. I like Mahea

1334
01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:28.560
<v Speaker 2>as the number thirty three guy in that bullpen. I

1335
01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:32.479
<v Speaker 2>just took him with my fiftieth pick in the draft

1336
01:16:32.479 --> 01:16:36.920
<v Speaker 2>and all the big arm, and I wouldn't be at

1337
01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:39.399
<v Speaker 2>all shocked to see him find his way into some

1338
01:16:39.479 --> 01:16:41.800
<v Speaker 2>saves this year in Colorado.

1339
01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:47.279
<v Speaker 1>Robert Garcia seems to be getting the early buzz as

1340
01:16:47.359 --> 01:16:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the closure with the Rangers. Is that your take as well?

1341
01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but there, I don't think they've committed to him.

1342
01:16:55.319 --> 01:16:57.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, they keep talking about Chris Martin, who's I

1343
01:16:57.600 --> 01:17:00.479
<v Speaker 2>think now thirty eight thirty nine is being in the mix.

1344
01:17:01.079 --> 01:17:05.920
<v Speaker 2>And hey, when they signed Alexis dis Okay to work

1345
01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:10.600
<v Speaker 2>out of that ten, is that an endorsement of Robert Garcia.

1346
01:17:11.520 --> 01:17:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. Uh, that to me is it's

1347
01:17:16.159 --> 01:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking that it's garcias to lose, but I think

1348
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:21.319
<v Speaker 2>there's a good chance he might. And I wouldn't be

1349
01:17:21.399 --> 01:17:24.640
<v Speaker 2>totally shocked to see Alexis d is And uh yeah,

1350
01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

1351
01:17:24.920 --> 01:17:27.159
<v Speaker 1>He's he's got a pitch better though, because he didn't

1352
01:17:27.159 --> 01:17:29.239
<v Speaker 1>pitch well last year at all, and.

1353
01:17:29.159 --> 01:17:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Then it was a horrible year.

1354
01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then this he's already got blown up in

1355
01:17:33.239 --> 01:17:37.640
<v Speaker 1>his first out this spring, so he's got to make up.

1356
01:17:38.039 --> 01:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>There's there's definitely some issues there. Angels, Robert Stevenson, Drew Pomeranson, Kirby.

1357
01:17:43.479 --> 01:17:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Yates, and Joyce in the cast a thousand that you had.

1358
01:17:49.319 --> 01:17:52.239
<v Speaker 1>You had me in my NFBC draft. You had me

1359
01:17:52.399 --> 01:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>drafting Ben Joyce. I did that when I wanted to

1360
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:58.199
<v Speaker 1>do the password, and now Ben Joyce's even on this list.

1361
01:17:58.439 --> 01:18:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Explain yourself, well, you need to develop more columns on

1362
01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:06.239
<v Speaker 2>this list. Check it slide A fourth and the fifth

1363
01:18:06.279 --> 01:18:10.439
<v Speaker 2>for certain circumstances. Yeah, there's about four or five guys

1364
01:18:10.479 --> 01:18:16.640
<v Speaker 2>that could end up saving games. And let's face it,

1365
01:18:16.800 --> 01:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>you know Yates is closing in on forty Pomerants and

1366
01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:23.079
<v Speaker 2>health in the same sentences, and oxymor and Robert Stevenson

1367
01:18:23.199 --> 01:18:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the same thing, Joyce the same thing. Whoever is healthy

1368
01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:30.760
<v Speaker 2>and gets back to back chances will hold the job

1369
01:18:30.880 --> 01:18:33.279
<v Speaker 2>until they're not healthy, which could be a very short

1370
01:18:33.279 --> 01:18:37.439
<v Speaker 2>period of time. Unfortunately, it's yay, you do what you

1371
01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:39.680
<v Speaker 2>want with the Angels, but I know what I'm doing,

1372
01:18:40.399 --> 01:18:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and that's avoiding it. I just no, no, no, no.

1373
01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Second, another break, tim me come back and finish this

1374
01:18:46.960 --> 01:18:49.279
<v Speaker 1>list up and then ask about your closers or excuse me,

1375
01:18:49.279 --> 01:19:04.800
<v Speaker 1>your sleepers. Tom and I took a quick little break

1376
01:19:04.920 --> 01:19:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and my wife, Tim was gone today. I'm here in

1377
01:19:08.960 --> 01:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>our place. She was at a tea party and brought

1378
01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:16.279
<v Speaker 1>me home treats. And I'm looking at it and they

1379
01:19:16.319 --> 01:19:21.279
<v Speaker 1>look really good. Looks like a chocolate scone, some kind

1380
01:19:21.279 --> 01:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of maybe a snickerdoodle, uh cookie. And there's something really

1381
01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:31.680
<v Speaker 1>fancy looking that's made into a shape of a tea teacup. Teacup.

1382
01:19:32.079 --> 01:19:35.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's very It looks like somebody is going to

1383
01:19:35.880 --> 01:19:38.399
<v Speaker 2>be generating a sugar rush. Get off the air.

1384
01:19:38.920 --> 01:19:41.039
<v Speaker 1>We might not even wait till we get off the air.

1385
01:19:43.119 --> 01:19:44.760
<v Speaker 1>It looks awfully offully good.

1386
01:19:45.159 --> 01:19:46.680
<v Speaker 2>So I'm very excited about.

1387
01:19:47.399 --> 01:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh so, Timmy, let's finish up your list. Here the

1388
01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Angel Stevenson, Palmeran's and Yates or I talked about that.

1389
01:19:52.760 --> 01:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>And then what about Topa. You told me to pick

1390
01:19:55.840 --> 01:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>him up at the trade deadline? I did should and

1391
01:19:59.840 --> 01:20:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess I should hold on to him, but Sands

1392
01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:06.279
<v Speaker 1>got the got the job after the trade deadline was over.

1393
01:20:07.359 --> 01:20:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's again. I have no idea how this is

1394
01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:16.800
<v Speaker 2>going to show. You say Topa, You say Sands, I

1395
01:20:16.840 --> 01:20:20.279
<v Speaker 2>say Topa. You know Taylor Rogers is there. He could

1396
01:20:20.680 --> 01:20:25.159
<v Speaker 2>he could prove to be the to be the favorite. Again,

1397
01:20:25.279 --> 01:20:28.520
<v Speaker 2>you want to toss a dark just hey, don't hold

1398
01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:31.720
<v Speaker 2>onto it too long. I don't have a lot of

1399
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:33.920
<v Speaker 2>faith in anybody in that ball. If it wasn't for

1400
01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the Nationals and Diamondbacks, they'd probably it'd probably be thirtieth

1401
01:20:40.399 --> 01:20:43.680
<v Speaker 2>on this list at this point in time.

1402
01:20:44.560 --> 01:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Clayton beat her. The former Yankee down with the Nationals.

1403
01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Cole Henry has been tolling around in the Nationals minor

1404
01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:55.119
<v Speaker 1>leagues for years. In PJ. Poulan, I'm I'm sure how

1405
01:20:55.199 --> 01:20:58.479
<v Speaker 1>familiar with him. That's a committee. Is Clayton Peter really

1406
01:20:58.479 --> 01:20:59.279
<v Speaker 1>going to get the job?

1407
01:21:01.399 --> 01:21:06.159
<v Speaker 2>I think odds are fairly good that he will. The

1408
01:21:06.239 --> 01:21:09.279
<v Speaker 2>guy that I'd be watching very very closely and carefully

1409
01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:12.600
<v Speaker 2>early on is PJ. Pullen, And I think he's I

1410
01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:17.199
<v Speaker 2>think he's got the he's got the arm. I don't

1411
01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:19.880
<v Speaker 2>know where it's going, but he's got a big arm.

1412
01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:25.079
<v Speaker 2>And at some point in time I beat her Henry.

1413
01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:29.520
<v Speaker 2>If they can't get it done in a dynasty format,

1414
01:21:29.560 --> 01:21:30.960
<v Speaker 2>he'd be a guy i'd be stashing.

1415
01:21:32.119 --> 01:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm at the roster resource page and this is

1416
01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:41.199
<v Speaker 1>the starting starting pitchers for the Nationals Miles Nicholas, Kate

1417
01:21:41.279 --> 01:21:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Cavelli and Brad Lord, Josiah Gray and Foster Griffin.

1418
01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Wow wow, I like I like Foster Griffin, but the

1419
01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:52.520
<v Speaker 2>rest you can have him. I think that's a team

1420
01:21:52.560 --> 01:21:55.720
<v Speaker 2>that's going to work hard to win sixty games.

1421
01:21:56.239 --> 01:22:00.239
<v Speaker 1>That's tough, man, that's tough. Well, yeah, they've got I

1422
01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:03.640
<v Speaker 1>mean obviously James Wood and c j Abrams and Dale

1423
01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:06.159
<v Speaker 1>and Lyle had a pretty good season. Dylan Cruz, I mean,

1424
01:22:06.159 --> 01:22:09.520
<v Speaker 1>we don't know what I mean. It's Ben mcgartis is

1425
01:22:09.520 --> 01:22:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the starting first basement. Good for him, good for him. Wow.

1426
01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's some there's some potential on the offensive side

1427
01:22:17.680 --> 01:22:20.720
<v Speaker 2>of the board. Pitching is going to be it's gonna

1428
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:22.399
<v Speaker 2>be a tough year, it really is.

1429
01:22:22.760 --> 01:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Ben Lacurtizi's definitely a platoon guy. Cannot hit left. He

1430
01:22:28.840 --> 01:22:32.560
<v Speaker 1>so don't get all excited about him everyone. I mean literally,

1431
01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:36.159
<v Speaker 1>it's like a two sixty hitter right handed against right

1432
01:22:36.199 --> 01:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>handers and like a one fifty. They just can't hit

1433
01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:41.640
<v Speaker 1>him at all. And then we're down in the Diamondbacks.

1434
01:22:42.560 --> 01:22:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Look your favorite your favorite closer.

1435
01:22:44.840 --> 01:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>If I may, I'm taking I'm taking this one over.

1436
01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening to Tim, Kevin Ginkle, Paul Sewalden, Dre Jamison.

1437
01:22:53.239 --> 01:22:56.880
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about Kevin Ginkle multiple times every year. I

1438
01:22:56.960 --> 01:22:59.680
<v Speaker 1>have picked him up multiple times and it never works

1439
01:22:59.720 --> 01:23:03.279
<v Speaker 1>out that maybe again it's it's Emilia Pagonnell over again

1440
01:23:03.359 --> 01:23:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden he's going to be great.

1441
01:23:04.920 --> 01:23:08.079
<v Speaker 1>But pepmight be aware of that. Paul Sewell is eighty

1442
01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:11.119
<v Speaker 1>years old and throws eighty eight miles an hour. Drey

1443
01:23:11.239 --> 01:23:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Jamison starter, failed starter, great arm, that's the place to go.

1444
01:23:16.800 --> 01:23:20.439
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the place that I'm going. Yeah, I've

1445
01:23:20.439 --> 01:23:25.520
<v Speaker 2>got several shares of jameson again shortly. But if you

1446
01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:28.600
<v Speaker 2>look at the three arms that are currently available in

1447
01:23:28.640 --> 01:23:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Arizona until Justin Martinez gets back mid season, and I

1448
01:23:32.720 --> 01:23:34.920
<v Speaker 2>think a j Buck's there too. If I'm not, They've

1449
01:23:34.960 --> 01:23:38.600
<v Speaker 2>got some guys coming back. But Dray Jamison's got the

1450
01:23:38.640 --> 01:23:43.159
<v Speaker 2>big arm of the big basketball again. He's the guy

1451
01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:45.000
<v Speaker 2>that I'd be tossing right now.

1452
01:23:45.439 --> 01:23:49.800
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely adult, dark, dark toss at the moment. I mean,

1453
01:23:49.840 --> 01:23:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Ginkl is the logical guy there, but just been down

1454
01:23:53.600 --> 01:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>there so many times. I mean, it's just it just

1455
01:23:55.960 --> 01:23:57.279
<v Speaker 1>hasn't worked for him so.

1456
01:23:58.159 --> 01:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>What's the definition of insanity? Right?

1457
01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Kevin Ginkle.

1458
01:24:01.279 --> 01:24:07.319
<v Speaker 2>That's over and over expecting expecting different results.

1459
01:24:06.960 --> 01:24:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Right, otherwise known as Kevin Ginkle.

1460
01:24:09.880 --> 01:24:10.479
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

1461
01:24:11.239 --> 01:24:14.359
<v Speaker 1>All right, So now I've got to find ten sleeper

1462
01:24:14.359 --> 01:24:18.279
<v Speaker 1>list here? So oh where did it go? Now? There

1463
01:24:18.279 --> 01:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it is? So, I mean I don't want to talk

1464
01:24:21.640 --> 01:24:23.520
<v Speaker 1>about it. Well, I think I will ask you the question.

1465
01:24:23.600 --> 01:24:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Give me two or three guys that are lower in

1466
01:24:25.720 --> 01:24:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the list, not necessarily on the bottom ten. But every

1467
01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:31.039
<v Speaker 1>year there's going to be you know, it's going to

1468
01:24:31.119 --> 01:24:33.479
<v Speaker 1>be the David Bedner that finally puts stuff together and

1469
01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:36.199
<v Speaker 1>becomes an elite closer. Give me a couple of guys

1470
01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that have a chance to do that this year.

1471
01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Elite closers.

1472
01:24:43.359 --> 01:24:46.479
<v Speaker 1>It could be no one by the way, Yeah.

1473
01:24:46.319 --> 01:24:52.159
<v Speaker 2>I if I'm looking at elite, I'm looking at guys

1474
01:24:52.199 --> 01:24:59.520
<v Speaker 2>that are ninety five mile an hour plus fastballs, big arms.

1475
01:25:00.600 --> 01:25:05.920
<v Speaker 2>They could be elite. Racial Leglasis has been elite. Yeah, yeah,

1476
01:25:06.000 --> 01:25:10.560
<v Speaker 2>he could. He could be an elite closer. Problem is,

1477
01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I think he's heading into free agency. I think they've

1478
01:25:12.800 --> 01:25:15.199
<v Speaker 2>got him this year, and the plan is Suarez takes

1479
01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:18.359
<v Speaker 2>over next year. So again there's that question where We've

1480
01:25:18.359 --> 01:25:23.920
<v Speaker 2>seen elite quality stuff out of Devin Williams. Okay uh

1481
01:25:24.960 --> 01:25:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Pete Fairbanks for a reasonable price this year could generate

1482
01:25:28.359 --> 01:25:32.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty five thirty saves. Josh Hader reason elite closer with

1483
01:25:32.439 --> 01:25:33.319
<v Speaker 2>help questions.

1484
01:25:33.520 --> 01:25:35.199
<v Speaker 1>What about Tennis Santana.

1485
01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:40.239
<v Speaker 2>My concern with Santana is that at some point in time,

1486
01:25:40.279 --> 01:25:43.079
<v Speaker 2>towards the middle of the season, the pirates deal and

1487
01:25:43.119 --> 01:25:44.840
<v Speaker 2>he ends up being a setup.

1488
01:25:44.479 --> 01:25:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Guy somewhere, all right.

1489
01:25:45.840 --> 01:25:49.800
<v Speaker 2>So that, Yeah, that's one of the reasons that I've

1490
01:25:49.800 --> 01:25:54.680
<v Speaker 2>got him below Jansen and Amelia Pagan and Carlos Estebez,

1491
01:25:54.720 --> 01:25:58.119
<v Speaker 2>simply because I think the odds are higher that he

1492
01:25:58.199 --> 01:26:01.039
<v Speaker 2>has moved as compared to the three guys above him

1493
01:26:01.199 --> 01:26:04.920
<v Speaker 2>on the list. Here an elite closer. I'm gonna go

1494
01:26:04.960 --> 01:26:08.720
<v Speaker 2>with the Cubs Daniee Balinche look at his stat cast page.

1495
01:26:08.800 --> 01:26:13.479
<v Speaker 2>It is it is a thing of beauty. He's got

1496
01:26:13.520 --> 01:26:17.880
<v Speaker 2>everything required to make that top five, a top six,

1497
01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:18.760
<v Speaker 2>top seven.

1498
01:26:19.239 --> 01:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Good good stuff. Let's go to you. Let's go to

1499
01:26:21.960 --> 01:26:24.960
<v Speaker 1>your closer or your sleepers list here and I'm going

1500
01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:27.399
<v Speaker 1>to let you go through in one by one. First

1501
01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:30.279
<v Speaker 1>is Jeremiah Estrada with the Padres.

1502
01:26:31.399 --> 01:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, again, who's the closer there, it's Mason Miller. Jeremiah

1503
01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Strata that I believe he led all relief pitchers and

1504
01:26:39.640 --> 01:26:43.359
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts last year. Remember when he was a Cub. We

1505
01:26:43.439 --> 01:26:46.159
<v Speaker 2>all had such high hopes for Jeremiah Strata. Well, it

1506
01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:48.760
<v Speaker 2>looks like on the West Coast he's fulfill in those hopes.

1507
01:26:49.079 --> 01:26:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Adp of four fifty eight. Astrata is a guy that

1508
01:26:52.479 --> 01:26:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I would definitely be looking at drafting in the regular

1509
01:26:56.920 --> 01:26:59.560
<v Speaker 2>component of the draft, in the reserve rounds. Of course.

1510
01:27:00.039 --> 01:27:01.359
<v Speaker 2>I like a Strata a lot.

1511
01:27:02.039 --> 01:27:05.319
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned Justin Sterner already I'm looking at his uh

1512
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>he told me to look at his Baseball Savant page

1513
01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:13.079
<v Speaker 1>and let's see. Yeah, he is throwing ninety three point five.

1514
01:27:14.039 --> 01:27:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Nobody hits it, which is good. He's got uh a

1515
01:27:19.319 --> 01:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>sweeper that looks like it's got huge whiff rate. It

1516
01:27:22.640 --> 01:27:25.800
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty good. But I don't it's not a huge thrower.

1517
01:27:25.840 --> 01:27:27.720
<v Speaker 1>So what am I looking at here? What? What do

1518
01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you really see that's going to jump up?

1519
01:27:29.720 --> 01:27:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Flyball picture Hogan Harris?

1520
01:27:33.159 --> 01:27:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you just don't think Hogan Harris is going to

1521
01:27:34.960 --> 01:27:35.239
<v Speaker 1>do it.

1522
01:27:35.960 --> 01:27:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think there's going to be an opportunity for Sterner.

1523
01:27:38.760 --> 01:27:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And with an AD four eighty that that's yeah, that's

1524
01:27:42.600 --> 01:27:43.399
<v Speaker 2>got my attention.

1525
01:27:44.039 --> 01:27:46.000
<v Speaker 1>You just want to when when he gets the job,

1526
01:27:46.039 --> 01:27:55.039
<v Speaker 1>you just want to go hold again. Okay, that's that's

1527
01:27:55.079 --> 01:27:59.600
<v Speaker 1>my joke there, all right, Karen wentlocked with Austin former starter.

1528
01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, Rolls, Chapman's not getting any younger. Okay. Garrett

1529
01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Woodlock's in the setup role and he's pitched very well

1530
01:28:09.399 --> 01:28:14.399
<v Speaker 2>of late ADP of five twelve. I like Whitlock as

1531
01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:17.199
<v Speaker 2>a handcuffed Chapman and if you're looking at a reserve

1532
01:28:17.319 --> 01:28:20.800
<v Speaker 2>round pick, he's next in line, clearly next in line.

1533
01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:26.960
<v Speaker 2>And again I'm not predicting doom and gloom for Chapman,

1534
01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:29.840
<v Speaker 2>but it never hurts for the thirty seven thirty eight

1535
01:28:29.920 --> 01:28:32.640
<v Speaker 2>year old closer to have somebody handy just in case

1536
01:28:32.760 --> 01:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>and Chapman. If you look at Chapman's numbers over the

1537
01:28:35.359 --> 01:28:38.319
<v Speaker 2>past five years, other than the last year, they've been very,

1538
01:28:38.520 --> 01:28:42.359
<v Speaker 2>very meatyocre for the three years I believe three years

1539
01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:49.560
<v Speaker 2>prior to last year, So who knows, there's risks.

1540
01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Matt Swanson told me to look at his Baseball sav.

1541
01:28:53.039 --> 01:28:55.479
<v Speaker 2>Page during that heavy seat.

1542
01:28:55.399 --> 01:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Thrown at ninety seven miles an hour, with Yeah, with

1543
01:28:59.039 --> 01:29:01.399
<v Speaker 1>a launch angle of five degrees, that means he is

1544
01:29:01.439 --> 01:29:05.960
<v Speaker 1>an extreme ground ball pitcher with a needs a better

1545
01:29:06.119 --> 01:29:09.199
<v Speaker 1>sweeper doesn't have a huge whift rate on it, but

1546
01:29:09.359 --> 01:29:12.079
<v Speaker 1>that sinker looks pretty nasty. Where it's got an expected

1547
01:29:12.119 --> 01:29:15.319
<v Speaker 1>batting average of two twelve, batting average of one fifty seven,

1548
01:29:15.359 --> 01:29:18.199
<v Speaker 1>a sweeper's got a betting average of one twenty seven.

1549
01:29:18.279 --> 01:29:20.520
<v Speaker 1>So that's pretty good stuff. That's a good call by

1550
01:29:20.560 --> 01:29:21.359
<v Speaker 1>unister McLoud.

1551
01:29:22.479 --> 01:29:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Rich. And he's in a situation where he's number

1552
01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:30.359
<v Speaker 2>three behind Romero and Riley O'Brien, so it's not like

1553
01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:33.319
<v Speaker 2>there's stability in that bullpen at the top end right now.

1554
01:29:33.439 --> 01:29:35.359
<v Speaker 2>So I like him a lot.

1555
01:29:36.720 --> 01:29:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Louis Varlin, any comment to make there six twenty two ADP.

1556
01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:41.439
<v Speaker 1>I thought it'd be higher than that.

1557
01:29:42.680 --> 01:29:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, if you look at Jeff Hoffman, Okay,

1558
01:29:45.239 --> 01:29:47.239
<v Speaker 2>the Jays were going to address that in the off season.

1559
01:29:47.319 --> 01:29:50.319
<v Speaker 2>They did, and they brought in Rogers. But Rodgers has

1560
01:29:50.359 --> 01:29:54.479
<v Speaker 2>never really he's never really been in a closure capacity.

1561
01:29:54.479 --> 01:29:56.640
<v Speaker 2>He's been a great setup guy, you know, seven to

1562
01:29:56.680 --> 01:29:59.760
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning type. I think Louis Arlin's got the stuff

1563
01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:01.920
<v Speaker 2>where he's going to find a way to work himself

1564
01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:04.560
<v Speaker 2>into some saves, or Jeff Poffin is going to help

1565
01:30:04.640 --> 01:30:07.720
<v Speaker 2>him work his way into saves this year. I sort

1566
01:30:07.720 --> 01:30:10.279
<v Speaker 2>of like Louis Barland as a reserve pick.

1567
01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:17.199
<v Speaker 1>We've got Drake Jamison, who with his expected EARRA of

1568
01:30:17.239 --> 01:30:21.319
<v Speaker 1>eleven so from last year, granted he didn't throw that

1569
01:30:21.399 --> 01:30:24.279
<v Speaker 1>many pitches fifty three pitches most of the time in

1570
01:30:24.319 --> 01:30:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the minor league. It's obviously been hurt a lot, but

1571
01:30:27.199 --> 01:30:28.840
<v Speaker 1>does throw very very hard.

1572
01:30:30.079 --> 01:30:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and again, I know where you stand on Kevin

1573
01:30:34.039 --> 01:30:37.439
<v Speaker 2>yinkel as do. I that bullpen's a bit of a mess.

1574
01:30:37.600 --> 01:30:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I think we've said before you Jameson's got the best arm.

1575
01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Just have to see how it all unfolds.

1576
01:30:43.760 --> 01:30:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's interesting because I think that I don't think

1577
01:30:47.720 --> 01:30:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the Diamondbacks can compete with the Dodgers, but who can't.

1578
01:30:50.760 --> 01:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>But I think they can compete for a wild card spot.

1579
01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:55.319
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a decent team, and the fact that

1580
01:30:55.359 --> 01:30:59.520
<v Speaker 1>they've got a bullpen that is as up in the

1581
01:30:59.560 --> 01:31:01.600
<v Speaker 1>air as it is is a little surprising.

1582
01:31:02.880 --> 01:31:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well again, I think I think the reason or

1583
01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:08.800
<v Speaker 2>the cause for that surprise is they're waiting for Justin

1584
01:31:08.840 --> 01:31:10.479
<v Speaker 2>Martinez to return mid season.

1585
01:31:10.640 --> 01:31:12.960
<v Speaker 1>But he's coming back from Tommy John surgery, and you

1586
01:31:13.000 --> 01:31:17.960
<v Speaker 1>said it could become August and be the same guy

1587
01:31:18.000 --> 01:31:20.079
<v Speaker 1>when he comes back. I mean there's a lot of

1588
01:31:20.159 --> 01:31:20.720
<v Speaker 1>risk there.

1589
01:31:21.600 --> 01:31:27.000
<v Speaker 2>There is a ton of risk, and it leads me

1590
01:31:27.039 --> 01:31:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to believe that Arizona isn't anywhere close to being all in,

1591
01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:34.399
<v Speaker 2>or they would have done something. I think about that

1592
01:31:34.479 --> 01:31:36.399
<v Speaker 2>bullpen other than bringing paulsy all in.

1593
01:31:37.920 --> 01:31:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Joel Paguero with the Giants, boy would talk about him forever.

1594
01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I like Paguero, big arm. And when you start

1595
01:31:47.319 --> 01:31:53.079
<v Speaker 2>looking at the giant situation, if you know it, you're

1596
01:31:53.119 --> 01:31:56.399
<v Speaker 2>looking at one of one of two players right now,

1597
01:31:56.439 --> 01:32:02.159
<v Speaker 2>and you know, and for the Giant, and if Walker struggles,

1598
01:32:02.199 --> 01:32:06.279
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at the worrol. And I believes Eric Miller. Okay,

1599
01:32:06.720 --> 01:32:10.000
<v Speaker 2>we've seen Walker struggle before. I like the World's arm.

1600
01:32:10.279 --> 01:32:13.880
<v Speaker 2>He's got a big arm, brings the heat, and I

1601
01:32:13.920 --> 01:32:16.159
<v Speaker 2>think over the course of the season, he's gonna he's

1602
01:32:16.159 --> 01:32:17.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna find his way into some saves.

1603
01:32:18.279 --> 01:32:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Tim Brent Mitchenjan Mahea, twenty five year old kid with

1604
01:32:21.800 --> 01:32:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the Colorado Rockies. Average velocity of ninety six point six

1605
01:32:27.840 --> 01:32:30.840
<v Speaker 1>with a wicket looking slider thirty four point ten percent

1606
01:32:30.880 --> 01:32:36.079
<v Speaker 1>whiff rate era last year of three ninety six expected

1607
01:32:36.119 --> 01:32:40.119
<v Speaker 1>ear rate of two ninety eight. Walks a few too many,

1608
01:32:40.119 --> 01:32:42.680
<v Speaker 1>but he's a two pitch pitcher with pretty good stuff.

1609
01:32:42.720 --> 01:32:44.760
<v Speaker 1>That's another good call by mister McLeod.

1610
01:32:45.800 --> 01:32:49.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah again, you're looking and you're looking at the Rockies

1611
01:32:49.880 --> 01:32:54.439
<v Speaker 2>and I don't I don't think Bud Nick or Jimmy Hurget.

1612
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they're per sae the long term answer,

1613
01:32:58.159 --> 01:33:02.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, up and down from both of them. It's

1614
01:33:02.159 --> 01:33:06.119
<v Speaker 2>hard to recommend a Rockies picture, but of all the

1615
01:33:06.119 --> 01:33:08.880
<v Speaker 2>pictures in Rocky Land, he would be one that I

1616
01:33:08.920 --> 01:33:12.520
<v Speaker 2>would look at, and you know, the deepest of leagues,

1617
01:33:12.560 --> 01:33:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I can see the potential is there for him to

1618
01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:17.800
<v Speaker 2>earn a saber too, and possibly move up in that

1619
01:33:17.880 --> 01:33:19.079
<v Speaker 2>pecking order. In Colorado.

1620
01:33:20.720 --> 01:33:23.159
<v Speaker 1>VONNC throws really hard, one hundred miles an hour, but

1621
01:33:23.319 --> 01:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty straight, and guys hit the ball harder than

1622
01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you think. He's got a wicket change up. Nobody hits

1623
01:33:29.000 --> 01:33:31.199
<v Speaker 1>his change up hard. I mean, it's an batting average

1624
01:33:31.199 --> 01:33:33.880
<v Speaker 1>of one oh nine, expected batting average one thirty five.

1625
01:33:34.960 --> 01:33:37.399
<v Speaker 1>I if I were him, he's not throwing his cutter

1626
01:33:37.520 --> 01:33:39.359
<v Speaker 1>very much, but he's throwing his cutter at ninety three

1627
01:33:39.439 --> 01:33:42.279
<v Speaker 1>miles an hour. I'd probably throw his cutter a little

1628
01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:44.680
<v Speaker 1>bit more than his four seamer even though it throws

1629
01:33:44.680 --> 01:33:48.079
<v Speaker 1>a four seamer as hard as he does. You know,

1630
01:33:48.119 --> 01:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a straight to me and it's you know, it's

1631
01:33:49.880 --> 01:33:52.239
<v Speaker 1>got to expect it' slug a four to seventy seven.

1632
01:33:52.439 --> 01:33:55.239
<v Speaker 1>So you know, he needs to put some wiggle on

1633
01:33:55.560 --> 01:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>his for singer. If he doesn't have that in his, uh,

1634
01:33:59.239 --> 01:34:02.680
<v Speaker 1>his repertoire, then he probably needs to switch pitches otherwise

1635
01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:03.800
<v Speaker 1>he will get hit hard.

1636
01:34:04.840 --> 01:34:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you'll you'll have days where you know, you'll like, like,

1637
01:34:10.279 --> 01:34:12.840
<v Speaker 2>look like Josh Hater and you will have days where

1638
01:34:13.279 --> 01:34:15.399
<v Speaker 2>he looks like Kevin Yinkle. It will be all over

1639
01:34:15.439 --> 01:34:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the map. And that's stuff to rock.

1640
01:34:19.279 --> 01:34:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Good stuff, Tim. Let's take our final break back and

1641
