Speaker 3: You know, I'm a little annoyed. To be honest, I'll

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:28,920
be honest with you. Hey, Hey, good to see you.

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,079
I'm a little annoyed though. I every actually every year

22
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:36,920
around this time. You know why I'm mad? Right? You

23
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:41,239
know you know what's coming. You know what's coming, don't you.

24
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,560
Every year around this time I get so annoyed at

25
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:51,519
the Hall of Fame inductions. I hate it. Man, I

26
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,200
hated so much that that Barry Bonds is not in

27
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:57,879
the Hall of Fame. Like it's like, I really feel

28
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,439
like baseball is gas lighting all its fans by not

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,120
putting Bond in the Hall of Fame. And this weekend

30
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:12,800
was especially bad because Jeff Kent, Jeff Kent, of all people,

31
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:17,719
of all people, Jeff Kent gets inducted into the Hall

32
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:24,400
of Fame, the guy who directly benefited from Barry Bonds. Like,

33
00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:26,639
what are we doing? Man?

34
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: God?

35
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:34,719
Speaker 3: Is it frustrating? A really angry but a way to

36
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:36,879
start a podcast. I'm so mad.

37
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:43,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gray, I mean we have we have Barry Bonds

38
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:49,199
not in but with him obviously Roger Clemans and Sammy Sosau,

39
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:53,159
Many Ramirez. This was his last year for the ballot.

40
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,520
He'll go He'll go to the you know, the players vote.

41
00:02:58,439 --> 00:02:59,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's a.

42
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: Really Manny's never getting in. He'll never get in with

43
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,240
the Veterans Committee. If they don't let Bonds in on

44
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,240
the Batterns Committee, they're never letting Manny in. And you know,

45
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,120
it's honestly, like I say, like it feels like everyone's

46
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,960
gaslighting us because it's like with our own eyes we

47
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:21,919
watched these baseball We watched them and we were like,

48
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:27,280
oh wow, and it's like, okay, but they cheated like well,

49
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:32,639
first of all, ah, First of all, Pudge Rodriguez was

50
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:36,599
nicknamed Pudge because he was so stocky. And then when

51
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,639
he got traded to the Tigers and they started suspending

52
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,960
people because the steroids, Pudge suddenly became Slim Rodriguez. So

53
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,439
talk to me about steroids being in the Hall of Fame. Also, oh,

54
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,319
Mike Biazza and Backne, Oh I do get that. Oh, oh,

55
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,639
Mike Biazza sartainly started going through puberty at the age

56
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,719
of thirty. Okay, yeah, sure, right, yeah, that's why he

57
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:05,719
had Backne. Come on, man, come on, man, I so

58
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:11,800
fired up. It's ridiculous though, seriously, because if anyone's like, oh,

59
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,479
Barry Bonds was cheating like a he was never caught

60
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,079
for cheating.

61
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: B Steroids wasn't even illegal when he was doing them.

62
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:24,079
Speaker 3: There was no lung against steroids. It wasn't like, oh,

63
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,040
you can't do steroids in the major leagues.

64
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,639
Speaker 4: There was no there was no rule on the books,

65
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,240
and they put Bud Ceiling in the All Fame. He

66
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,319
was the guy who orchestrated all this.

67
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,079
Speaker 3: Ah, I'm so mad.

68
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: Saved the game? He did, ray And how exactly did

69
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:50,399
that happen? How exactly did he He saved the game?

70
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:54,519
Speaker 3: Oh my god, save the game by covering up everything

71
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,839
with his ugly ass to pay. That's how Ceilings saved

72
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:58,360
the game.

73
00:04:59,399 --> 00:04:59,639
Speaker 1: God?

74
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: Oh, why would I start a podcast so mad?

75
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're looking for somebody to cover stuff up,

76
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800
it should start, like the search should start with somebody

77
00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:12,279
with a good tu pay, Like you know what, I

78
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:14,639
didn't even know that was real. Like this is a

79
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,879
good start, This is a this is a good start

80
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,360
to what we're looking for at this position.

81
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:20,639
Speaker 2: What else have you come?

82
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: Actually he covered up steroids as well as he covered

83
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:30,040
up his bald head. Oh fired up?

84
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,439
Speaker 1: Well, Grey, I don't know if this topic is gonna

85
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,480
gonna make you any less fired up.

86
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: But let's talk about let's talk about Jose.

87
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Cabbiero's uh, you know day week, you know, this time

88
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,439
of the year for for him, he's been and we

89
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:52,319
shoot a few warnings and finally got called out and

90
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:55,079
and there was a little bit of a bench clearing,

91
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,879
and you know, the whole the whole thing over his

92
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:02,600
his what you want to call it, his hitting preparation,

93
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,800
Gray with with the with the shot clock on the

94
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:09,720
on the or the pitch clock sorry wrong sport the

95
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,319
pitch clock.

96
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,199
Speaker 2: And then of course in the same week Gray, he

97
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,120
is called.

98
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: Or he's he's given a ruling defensively that he purposely

99
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:28,240
dropped an infield liner to make his double play hold off.

100
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: That's it feels like COVID.

101
00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:36,639
Speaker 1: Jose Cabriero is that guy in the comment section yelling

102
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,000
about the ziplings and how he can write it all

103
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,439
the way to the end, and you you have to

104
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:44,759
let him in like this is this is what it's

105
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,279
feeling like.

106
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,879
Speaker 3: Gray. Well, you know, I have actually complicated feelings on

107
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,959
Jose Cabriiro, because, like, I think the pitch clock is

108
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:57,000
legitimately good. I think it's I like the pitch clock.

109
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,639
I mean I you know, as anyone who's familiar RAS ball,

110
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,959
I write five times a week. I cover all the games,

111
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,279
so it's nice for me that the games go a

112
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:09,439
little bit faster. It was a little bit tough when

113
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,040
it was like four hour games. So from a personal standpoint,

114
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,240
I like two and a half hour games. I don't

115
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:18,959
mind them. I like the pitch clock. I I do.

116
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,319
I like, I like it a lot. But on the

117
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,000
other hand, so this is how it gets complicated because

118
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,319
like what Jose Cabrierra was doing was like, you have

119
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:33,480
to you have to make eye contact with the picture

120
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:36,199
at eight seconds left on the clock. Uh, and at

121
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,800
that point the pitcher can then start his wind up.

122
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:42,360
And they were saying that Cabiiro would get into the

123
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:46,879
batter's box, stare it, stare it like the opposing dugout,

124
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,920
like just looking off, looking off in mid distance, like, uh, Jose,

125
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:56,040
you gotta you got an eye problem, bro, What why

126
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:58,199
are you not turning your head? So he would just

127
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:02,439
like stare straight ahead and look at like the first row,

128
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:06,040
like he was making eye contact with a lady or

129
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,680
something in the first row, and then at eight seconds

130
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,480
he would turn to the picture, and that's when the

131
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,000
picture could start to wind up. So now if he's

132
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,759
looking so if Cabrierra was looking at the dugout or

133
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:23,959
you know, the lady in the first row eating cotton candy,

134
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,639
and he was saying like, if he was looking at

135
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,000
her and the picture started to move, then the picture

136
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,799
would get called for a pitchclock violation. If it was

137
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,919
before eight seconds left and then so he was so

138
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,120
Cabrierra was actually using that as an advantage, like he

139
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,200
was getting a lot of pictures to move before he

140
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,879
looked at them, and they were getting called for pitch violations.

141
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:53,159
Now this week, the uh, the Office of the Commissioner, eh,

142
00:08:54,679 --> 00:09:00,519
the Office of the Commissioner said that Cabrierro can't do that, honestly.

143
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,399
So that's where I get really conflicted, because it's like,

144
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,600
why can't he do it? That's the rule. You just

145
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,240
have to look at the picture with eight seconds left.

146
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,279
So if I want to be, you know, trying to

147
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,639
play head games and not look at the picture before

148
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:21,720
eight seconds, it's like, okay, I mean what, Like I

149
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:25,799
don't know. I honestly don't even know how this became,

150
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,120
Like how this even became a rule where Cabiiro was

151
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:32,879
wrong because like as much as I do like the

152
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:36,200
pitch clock, he's kind of right. I mean he's doing

153
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:40,440
I mean he's doing he's within the letter of the law.

154
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Like he's not looking at the picture until eight seconds,

155
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,039
but as long as he looks at the picture at

156
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:49,480
eight seconds, the picture can start then. And this is

157
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,960
all you know, it's like, I mean, he was messing

158
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:54,960
up the picture's rhythm for sure, but that's the idea.

159
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,320
I mean, that's the whole point of hitting is to

160
00:09:57,399 --> 00:09:59,759
try and get the picture out of their game, and

161
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,559
the pictures deal is to get the hitter out of

162
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,799
their game. So I'm really kind of conflicted here. I

163
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:09,720
feel like Cabriero is being painted as the bad guy,

164
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,639
and I don't really see him as the bad guy. Like,

165
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,200
I don't know, man, I I and I mean I

166
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,279
I think I think Cabrierra was right to not look

167
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:22,840
at the picture until eight seconds. He he found a

168
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:24,559
loophole and he was exploiting it.

169
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, the example of the examples I've

170
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,720
seen kind of thrown together where it's like, oh, here's

171
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,759
the examples where he's violating it. It's like he looks

172
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:37,159
at the picture, but then he immediately looks either back

173
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,600
towards the dugout or like down and so he like

174
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,879
makes eye contact, but like then he looks elsewhere to

175
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480
kind of throw them off again to make it seem

176
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,159
like he didn't make eye contact.

177
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:50,639
Speaker 2: That's so those are the ones that I've seen.

178
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,759
Speaker 3: Very funny, I mean, that's so hilarious. If that's what's

179
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:59,080
going on, uh, Cabrierra. I mean, baseball needs a villain.

180
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,799
So if Cabriero wants to step up and be the villain,

181
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,679
that's awesome. I love it. You know, I'm all for

182
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:13,080
him being a total idiot. I love it. I but yeah,

183
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,720
I mean if he looks at the picture and then

184
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:18,200
looks away and the picture starts, and then the picture

185
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,080
gets called for a ball because of that or a

186
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,039
pitchclock violation, which is a ball he would, then then

187
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,279
there should be some sort of replay to see if

188
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,639
Cabriirero looks at the picture like that's I mean you

189
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,480
need to do You need to have replay involved then,

190
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,159
like the like, if he looks at the picture and

191
00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:39,120
the picture starts and then the picture gets called for

192
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,279
a ball or a violation, then the picture should say okay,

193
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,759
well time out. Let's look at the replay and see

194
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:47,600
if he looked at me like that, and then it

195
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:50,279
should be a strike. Like they're like, there needs to

196
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,240
be some like, you know, accountability. If Cabriirero is looking

197
00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:56,240
at the picture, but if he's just looking at the

198
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,720
dugout and never looking at the picture, then I don't

199
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,360
see the problem.

200
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: So I would say, no more replay. I don't want

201
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:07,080
I don't want replay. That's defeating the purpose of the

202
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,200
pitch clock in the first place. At that point, let

203
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,159
let's do this.

204
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:14,759
Speaker 3: I know, I agree, I agree with that, but I

205
00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:18,159
will say the replay. You do that once or twice,

206
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,559
and Cabriyrre is gonna get the pitcher that he can't

207
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,240
keep doing it. So I understand, I don't want more replay,

208
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,799
but you know it's like you do it once. No,

209
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,679
here's what we do.

210
00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,399
Speaker 1: Great at eight seconds, it does not matter what the

211
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,200
batter is doing. At eight seconds, the pitcher can throw.

212
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you pick.

213
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,039
Speaker 1: If the batter is not ready, screw it, that's you pitch.

214
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,519
You can fast pitch him, you can slide pitch him,

215
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:39,879
you can.

216
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 3: Do whatever you want.

217
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: If he's not ready, he's not ready, like or you

218
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,480
can even say, like seven seconds, you give him extra

219
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,840
second off of what they have to have him get ready.

220
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,919
Speaker 2: But it's seven seconds. Pitcher goes like, you're not ready.

221
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: No, totally, the pit the hitter can't. The hitter can't

222
00:12:57,799 --> 00:13:02,039
quock time out and can't can't. Yeah, the hitter has

223
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,080
no more control over the situation at eight seconds. I'm

224
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:05,799
with that role.

225
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:08,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that way, we don't know any whatever you play,

226
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,840
there's no like questions of did he make eye contact?

227
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: Did he not look?

228
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: If the batter's ready, he makes eye contact, the pitcher

229
00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:17,000
can go, yeah, that's fine.

230
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: Eight seconds and seven seconds.

231
00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:22,879
Speaker 3: Just batter. Actually, how about we not even make the

232
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:26,200
batter be ready like at eight seconds? Like it sounds

233
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,200
like we're in the front office trying to figure that. Okay,

234
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,720
so how about this. The batter is obligated to be

235
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:36,480
in the box and be ready at eight seconds. Whether

236
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,919
it happens, like, whether he's there or not doesn't matter.

237
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,360
If he does not call time out and he's not

238
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,279
in the box, it's too bad. The pitcher can start

239
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,000
his wind up.

240
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm fine with that.

241
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: Okay, we got absolutely that. We figured it out.

242
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we can also just take six seconds off

243
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,759
the clock and we'll just call it the pitch clock

244
00:13:55,799 --> 00:13:59,519
and it'll actually be the pitch like the pitcher has

245
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,320
to start wind up by that time.

246
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: Better you be ready by then. That's also an easy solution.

247
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

248
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's so many ways to do this where

249
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:13,159
this doesn't even come into play. But let's let's we've

250
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,559
we've ramble for a long time. Great, let's let's make

251
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,759
let's move this to a fantasy side. Let's at least

252
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:23,679
talk about Jose Cavierro rest of season Jose Caviero or

253
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,159
Chandler Simpson.

254
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 5: Uh I, you know, I'm gonna go Calliero mostly because

255
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,279
I feel like, uh, well, he knows when to look

256
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:38,759
at the picture.

257
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,799
Speaker 3: No. No, I'm going Cabro mostly because he adds a

258
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,679
little bit of power. I mean it's very minimal, and

259
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:53,759
uh uh, I think like Chandler, like Chandler Simpson, like

260
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,360
I think it's probably a little bit of the grass

261
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,279
is greener on the other side, because like, I actually

262
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,480
have Simpson in a few leagues, and I wish I

263
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:06,600
had anyone but him that could steal bases because I'm

264
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,720
kind of sick of starting Simpson. To be totally frank, like,

265
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:14,279
I wish I had like nacyum Nunez or Caballero instead

266
00:15:14,279 --> 00:15:18,679
of Simpson. So yeah, I'm gonna go caby Hero over Simpson.

267
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:26,519
Speaker 1: Okay, how about how about your former boy?

268
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: Oh man, you're going back like five years to say

269
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:41,200
my bully. I I don't think like Boba Schett like

270
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:45,360
I actually so, I put in a bit recently for

271
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Boba Schett to pick him up, but that was a

272
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,639
uh an L only league. It was NL only league.

273
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:56,039
He was dropped in an NL only league. So that

274
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,159
gives you an idea of where I think boba Schett's

275
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,039
value is right now. I think it was wrong to

276
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,080
dropping him in the and I only I like, I

277
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,480
would have picked him up if I had, if my

278
00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:10,279
bid had won. But anyway, I'll go kaby Ro for Bobachhet.

279
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,679
Speaker 1: All right. How about Jareddaran?

280
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:16,799
Speaker 3: Uhh, that's tough.

281
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:17,519
Speaker 1: You know.

282
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:19,159
Speaker 3: Duran's really been terrible.

283
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,639
Speaker 2: He's been awful as he's awful, it's.

284
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I wonder if he gets traded. I'm going

285
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,120
Caballero over Duran. I think I think Duran needs a

286
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,120
Duran is probably the number one guy who needs like

287
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:34,320
a change of scenery.

288
00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:38,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that, although that may just also

289
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:40,679
take everything he has going, because if you can't hit

290
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,360
in Boston, like, where the hell are you gonna hit?

291
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: Rockies? What are you up to? Hey? Hey, sack Sack Town,

292
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:50,279
what's up man?

293
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: Rockies in dust? Feel like a very Jared dar in

294
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,960
place for him to go. But anyways, how about speech

295
00:16:58,039 --> 00:16:58,960
to Josh Naylor.

296
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 3: Uh, I'm still going nail Or over cabri Era.

297
00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I would to unless you need like

298
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:12,960
Cabriira's position flexibility, like if that's a big thing for you,

299
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,759
you have limited benches or you know, a bunch of

300
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:17,960
injured guys. I could see that, But yeah, I would go.

301
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,920
I would go Nailer and uh, you know, just be

302
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
professional here. I'm gonna I'm gonna go with a transitional

303
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:24,359
guy here.

304
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 3: Greg.

305
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: Hey, look Durbin, who's getting more playing time?

306
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,799
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, Uh, that's tough, man. I think I'd probably

307
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:37,000
go Durban. But it feels like a toss up. It

308
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:37,960
feels pretty close.

309
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. I think I'd probably still go Caballero there,

310
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,160
but you know it is, it is very close.

311
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,279
Speaker 2: And as I mentioned, Durban is getting more playing.

312
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: Time because the Red Sox have made a couple of moves. Actually,

313
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,559
I guess Durbin was getting the same playing time. Just

314
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:00,599
I'm gonna get a new new teammate here and Curtis

315
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,200
Mead coming from the Nationals as the Red Sox trade

316
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,400
away cononly early Curtis maid has eighty seven games this year,

317
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:10,319
seventeen home run six dollar bases. He's hitting two fixed

318
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,480
four three fifty to five hundred, nineteen percent strikeouts eleven

319
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,680
point nine percent walk should slot in as the everyday.

320
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: Second basement for the Red Sox, and in.

321
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: Theory, before we get to like the trade value and everything,

322
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,880
let's just talk about the players. What do you think

323
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,599
about Curtis meat with the Red Sox?

324
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 3: So? Okay, so I was, you know, I was perusing

325
00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:41,599
people's opinions on the socials, uh, for the Curtis Mead

326
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:45,960
Early trade, and it seems like it's kind of like

327
00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:51,519
a one of those like posters, like depending on which

328
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,839
angle you look at it, it's like, oh that's a rose,

329
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:04,079
Oh that's a toilet. It's kind of like it depends

330
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:09,119
on how you perceive Curtis meeting finally early on whether

331
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,200
or not this trade was a win for the Red

332
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,880
Sox or than that's because like so early, as of

333
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,039
you know, three months ago, people thought Early was going

334
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,240
to be a huge prospect, like they like he was.

335
00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:27,079
I believe he was touted higher than even Peyton toll

336
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,960
uh and everyone at the beginning of this season was

337
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,559
like Curtis Mead is a quad a player and it's

338
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,440
a joke that the Nationals are even starting them. So

339
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,200
like the fact, and then you know that obviously switched

340
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,920
this season, but did three months of this season change everything?

341
00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:52,880
Is I guess where people's perceptions of this trade are,

342
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:57,039
and it's like, I I don't know. I mean, I

343
00:19:57,079 --> 00:20:00,680
would trust that the Red Sox know more about Early's

344
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,480
arm than anyone else. So if they think like he's actually,

345
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,160
you know, really cooked, then I mean I could see

346
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,599
why they would want to dump him for Curtis Mead.

347
00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:17,079
On the other hand, Curtis Mead looks really good, but

348
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,839
maybe the Nationals see something and they're like, oh, he

349
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,640
can't keep this up. So it may be it may

350
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,240
be a basic like it may be six and one

351
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:29,640
half a dozen of another and they're both not very good,

352
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:34,759
or they're both very good, or one's good and one's not.

353
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,319
It's really tough to say. Uh. As for like fantasy,

354
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:42,160
I like this move for Curtis Mead. As you mentioned

355
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,079
earlier with Duran, Fenway's a great park. You're you'd be

356
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,799
hard pressed to find a better one in the in

357
00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:53,079
the al outside of like Bing Bong. Uh, It's a

358
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,240
you know, it's for a righty too. Curtis Mead's alrighty

359
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,119
for a righty hitting balls off the wall is like,

360
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,640
you know, it's a dream man, Like he's a two

361
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:08,559
fifty four hitter so far this season. He's probably two

362
00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:12,359
seventy five in Fenway just for polling balls. I mean,

363
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,720
it's just natural common sense. Like if a guy's gonna hit,

364
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,559
you know, three hundred and twenty foot fly balls and

365
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:23,119
have it become a double, it's gonna be better for him.

366
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:26,200
So I yeah, I mean, Curtis Mead gets a I

367
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,279
think he gets a pretty good boost up in value.

368
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,400
The only real concern I have for me is exactly

369
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,759
how are they deploying him. I'm assuming if he goes

370
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:41,240
a second and he's every day that's great. I'm all

371
00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:45,920
for it. I wonder if they're just gonna, like, you know,

372
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,400
because they have they haven't really as of the recording

373
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,279
of this, we haven't seen a post trade lineup, so

374
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,039
we don't know exactly right now, so it's a little

375
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:59,240
bit of speculation. But if Meat is gonna be everyday

376
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,279
second baseman, great, no, then you know, then he's probably

377
00:22:04,039 --> 00:22:10,359
a top ten second baseman, maybe even higher. If he's

378
00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:13,759
used in any sort of platoon, then we'll have to

379
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:17,119
see how the platoon is. Uh. But it's hard because

380
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,640
he's a righty, like I said, and alrighty getting platooned

381
00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:24,240
means he's only facing lefties, which would be awful for

382
00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:26,640
his value. But I don't know why the Red Sox

383
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,079
would trade Connolly early to have Curtis Mead come in

384
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,240
and only face lefties like That's that would be crazy.

385
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,440
So I'm assuming Curtis Mead is gonna play nearly every day.

386
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,400
He's gonna hit somewhere in the uh you know, top

387
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,920
five of the lineup at worst, maybe in the top three,

388
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,359
and he's gonna be uh, he's gonna be very valuable.

389
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,720
He's gonna get second base eligibility, he's gonna have. It's

390
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:55,319
a nice little boost for Curtis Mead. You know, he's

391
00:22:55,319 --> 00:23:00,519
not gonna suddenly start, you know, stealing thirty bags, and

392
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,559
you know, he's not gonna he's not gonna become the

393
00:23:02,759 --> 00:23:04,880
uh you know, he's not gonna become a first rounder

394
00:23:05,319 --> 00:23:07,359
just with this trade. But I think he gets a

395
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,839
little nice boost and uh, yeah, it's not bad. Chris

396
00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:16,640
me is definitely a target for AO only, And I

397
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,880
mean he should really be rostered by now in any

398
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:23,559
mixed league. Yeah, I mean he should have been for

399
00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:25,880
a while. He's been, he's been solid all year.

400
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like this is really gonna

401
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:34,400
help him because he is, you know, as nice as

402
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,960
the numbers have been this year, you know, best average

403
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,880
eggs velocity, best hard hit and barrel rate of his career,

404
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,799
there's still not there's still not impressive numbers if we're

405
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,480
just looking at him compared to everybody else. Longch angles

406
00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:51,240
down for the last couple of seasons. Swinging strike rate,

407
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,160
k rates down. Oh, that's good, but his best swing

408
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,799
rate is bat speed. They're actually down. The fly ball

409
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,359
rate is up somehow, just at the launch ago being down.

410
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,759
That's that's a really weird one. So it just feels

411
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:07,599
like a little bit of an overpay from from the

412
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,119
Red Sox just in regards to what they're getting. But

413
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,640
as you mentioned, from a Curtis Mead standpoint, this should

414
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,240
be good. I think the seventeen home runs in the

415
00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:19,079
first half is probably excessive. I don't I don't ever

416
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,440
see Curtis Mead necessarily repeating that kind of power output

417
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:26,640
but but good for him. You know, he he did

418
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,039
what he needed to and he's been he's been pretty

419
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:32,599
consistent as well. So it's it's it's gonna be a

420
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,640
decent fit, you know, like you said, it's gonna be

421
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,319
helpful for him. Connally, Early, though, as you mentioned, was

422
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,039
a top five prospect at worst for the Red Sox,

423
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,839
first or second pitching prospect for them. Curtis Mead was

424
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,799
DF eight last year. Like, it feels like a weird

425
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,599
trade for for the Red Sox. Just in regards to

426
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,359
Yes said, just how quickly they gave up on Connie Early.

427
00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: I mean that's yeah, that's a good I mean, yeah,

428
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,079
you've you've basically encapsulated what I was thinking. Yeah, it's

429
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,240
just bizarre because like even if you think Connery Early's

430
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:15,519
arm is cooked, like it, it feels like you're selling

431
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,559
low on what he was as recently as three months ago.

432
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:24,880
One last thing on Curtis Mead, not that this means

433
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,799
that much, but his expected home runs in Fenway actually

434
00:25:29,839 --> 00:25:33,920
comes down a few. So yeah, I wish you would

435
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,480
expect because like if a guy hits like, you know,

436
00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:41,359
a line drive home run to you know, left field,

437
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,599
it's not gonna happen in Fenway because it's gonna hit

438
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,720
off the wall. So yeah, there's uh so Fenway actually

439
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:50,599
takes a few, it takes a little bit of his

440
00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:54,000
power away, but I mean, like we said, it adds

441
00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:57,039
so much average, so it's a good it's it's a

442
00:25:57,039 --> 00:26:01,599
good move for Mead and Early. You know, I was

443
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
I was wondering what the bid on him and an

444
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,119
NL only because I think Early at this point. I mean,

445
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,799
if you're in a deep mixed league, you can stash Early,

446
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,319
but I mean it's elbow inflammation and then that's just

447
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,039
traded for him. There's no reason at all for them

448
00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:23,680
to really pitch him this year. I mean, maybe maybe

449
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,640
he comes back and throws like thirty innings, but it's

450
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,640
gonna be basically you could find it off of waivers

451
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,319
as a streamer in most leagues, but in NL only.

452
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,920
So I was up against, you know, whether or not

453
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,599
the bid on him for an NL only league and

454
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,880
also NL only keeper and a keeper. I'm still pretty interested.

455
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,680
I you know, I probably wouldn't go I wouldn't go

456
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,920
crazy necessarily because there is the elbow injury, which is

457
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,839
you know, concerning I would probably look at like an

458
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,960
NL only keeper early roughly out of one hundred maybe

459
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,240
uh five five five to seven maybe uh and then

460
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
you know, and only just a straight redraft. I mean,

461
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:15,119
he's still got value even there, probably around this, you know,

462
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,559
it depends on your situation obviously, but probably around the

463
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:21,799
same five to seven, if you know, Because if you

464
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,160
can get thirty innings of you know, a starter in September,

465
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,160
it's worth it, and I know only it's worth it.

466
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,920
But in a mixed league, I just don't see the

467
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:37,319
value even really stashing him. I mean, you can, sure,

468
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,720
I mean, if you have room on your iyl stash him,

469
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,079
but I don't. I don't see much value for Early

470
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:44,440
for this year at.

471
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: Least, yeah, because he's gonna miss at least at least

472
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:55,039
two more weeks, if not more. So it's it's really

473
00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:57,279
hard to spend a whole lot on him if you

474
00:27:57,319 --> 00:28:00,559
have the IL space. No, there's worse things you can

475
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:04,000
do then pick him up and stash him away. But

476
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:08,039
there's also the non zero chance that they just shut

477
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,440
him down. Honestly, there's no reason for him to come

478
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,519
back if he's not ready. Certainly get him, you know,

479
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,759
throwing again. So it feels more comfortable getting ready for

480
00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:21,119
the offseason and coming in the next year. But there's

481
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,640
no reason to push him at this point. So even

482
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:30,240
you know, I would say, yeah, under ten dollars somewhere

483
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,960
is probably about the right area you really need pitching,

484
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,640
you know, maybe fifteen, but even that is just kind

485
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:40,559
of waiting to see.

486
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: When he's gonna come back.

487
00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:42,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed.

488
00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:47,319
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about as Marilyn val does. He

489
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,960
has been crazy great. He is the number one player Raider.

490
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,079
Over the last thirty days, thirty seven games, he has

491
00:28:54,119 --> 00:28:57,559
fourteen home runs. He's sitting two ninety three, three eighty five,

492
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,920
seven oh seven. I mean, those are absolutely insane numbers.

493
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:09,400
If you change the minimum batted ball events to twenty five,

494
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,480
because he's only been up for you know, a month,

495
00:29:12,359 --> 00:29:15,559
he is twentieth and average EXAs velocity fifteenth and hard

496
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:20,000
hit the LDEs in barrel rate, he's eleventh in EV fifty.

497
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,880
The most he's gone with most games he's gone without

498
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:29,359
a home run is eight. However, the opposite side, he's

499
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,480
only gone four games total that he hasn't struck out

500
00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:32,000
yety gray.

501
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: You know, so I was looking at his sad cast

502
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,079
page while you were speaking. And it's really quite fascinating

503
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:48,599
to look at his sliders because like his sliders, meaning

504
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,759
the color bars. Valdez is like, it's like red red

505
00:29:53,839 --> 00:30:00,319
red red red red blue. Ooh man, that's bad red

506
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,799
red red red right red blue wow blue wow blue

507
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:12,079
red right right right bro blue. Yeah, he's gotta he's

508
00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:16,759
got quite the profile. Man, He's basically he's doing an

509
00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:23,119
Adam done here. I I hope it continues. Everything in

510
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,200
me is saying like it actually it could continue the

511
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,039
rest of this year. I mean, we've seen bizarre like

512
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:34,240
small sample size wise, like, but at some point, I mean,

513
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:38,079
he's gonna the Williemo Pana of his strikeout right is

514
00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:41,240
going to catch up to him. Right, It's got it right.

515
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: You would think, so, I mean, how hell could it not?

516
00:30:44,839 --> 00:30:50,279
Speaker 3: Honestly, Yeah, I mean I think the best case scenario

517
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,279
is Adam done, and the worst case scenario is is, like,

518
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,680
you know, any any of the guys who have like

519
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,880
aristhtes A Kino that comes to mind.

520
00:31:01,799 --> 00:31:03,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's been a lot of guys who

521
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,680
come out of the gates really hot and then you know,

522
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:09,240
the pictures figure out what it is that you need

523
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,119
or what they need to throw you and it just

524
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,519
falls off dramatically.

525
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:14,759
Speaker 3: But I'm with you.

526
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:16,599
Speaker 1: I really hope that he can keep it going. It

527
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,119
is entertaining to watch. I mean, obviously, this pace is

528
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:24,160
probably not maintainable unless you know he's the next John

529
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,880
Call of State, and in which case that would be amazing.

530
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,720
And I feel like a cheek out for everybody who

531
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,599
grabbed him for a dollar and keep her in dynasty leagues,

532
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,759
but unlikely. That being said, let's throw some names against

533
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:38,759
the wall and see who'd rather take the chance on

534
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:42,200
Gray Beldez or Christian Walker.

535
00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's tough, because I feel like Christian Walker

536
00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:50,640
is kind of cooled off in a shallow enough leg

537
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:53,880
I probably I probably actually would go about that Az,

538
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:59,119
because just go with the hot bat. Yeah, yeah, but

539
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,319
that's it. I mean, it's not easy. I would say

540
00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:04,079
Valdez though, just because he's hot, So why not?

541
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Walker's Walker's June in July certainly have not been strong.

542
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:10,079
Speaker 2: How about Max Munsey?

543
00:32:11,759 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: Uh No, Max Mounsey has been pretty valuable. I'm staying

544
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,880
with Max Mounsey even though Valdez has been burning hot.

545
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that feels fair, And I guess the concernal

546
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:27,680
months he is always just how so that's really the

547
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,039
concern with him.

548
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:31,519
Speaker 2: If he's healthy, he's always been fairly productive.

549
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 3: Well burn comedy, oh no, more comedy for sure. Yeah, okay,

550
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,119
not even close.

551
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: So we've we've found kind of a line. He's he's

552
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,839
definitely on the lower end. But somebody pick up and

553
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,839
definitely roster in the moment if he's available and just

554
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:53,079
enjoy the ride. Yeah, somebody who is not gonna be

555
00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:55,160
on the ride the rest of this season, likely Gray

556
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,319
is Shay Langlers. He was top five on the catcher

557
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,119
on a Player Raider when he got Injure Jonaheim Brian

558
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:07,519
Servan are taking over his spot and as catcher any

559
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:10,559
interest in Heim as he should be actually getting it

560
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:12,519
in the middle of the order for the eighties, which

561
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:14,960
feels like a very weird statement.

562
00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:23,759
Speaker 3: Uh, Jonaheim is not interesting at all outside of like

563
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:29,079
when he's home in home games, and then even then

564
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,000
you would it's kind of probably be at the like

565
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:34,960
a daily league and you have no good catcher, so

566
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:38,200
you're you're just you're just switching out your catcher whenever.

567
00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:41,240
So I would pick up Jonaheim when he was home,

568
00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:46,119
but only if I had a bad catcher. I mean

569
00:33:46,359 --> 00:33:50,839
it's like I would not really, I wouldn't really be interested.

570
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,880
And Brian and Brian Servan actually I briefly looked at

571
00:33:56,119 --> 00:33:59,599
in our ale only league and then I was like, nah,

572
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,519
that's ridiculous. I mean, you know, a backup a's catcher

573
00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:09,159
who's terrible. I mean I do like that, Like when

574
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:12,440
A when he's catching and a hitter strikes out, he's like,

575
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:13,840
you've been serving.

576
00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: I really wish that was true, Gray, I really wish,

577
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,960
really wish that was I don't mind him as a

578
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,719
second catcher. And like a fifteen team, certainly an ale

579
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,760
only he's own, but that's that's about where he is.

580
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,639
And a twelve team, you know, if you're rotating them

581
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:37,199
and they've got a home heavy schedule, that's fine. Like

582
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,519
you mentioned, it's mostly mostly home games for him, so

583
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:43,159
more of a daily league or a deeper league type

584
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:47,599
of play. Let's get into the trade rumors, Gray, There's

585
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,159
all sorts of stuff that could be happening this time

586
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:54,280
of year. Let's just let's just randomly consider what could

587
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,719
happen and think about some of the fantasy possibilities. This

588
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,599
is some of this is sometimes easy way to get

589
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:05,159
ahead of the crowd and just kind of grab a

590
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,679
guy who might be useful in the future for for

591
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,119
very little. So let's talk about some of these. Everson

592
00:35:12,159 --> 00:35:16,800
Hancock is likely to move on, it seems Seattle has

593
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,079
mentioned that he's available.

594
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,639
Speaker 2: Luis Castillo possibly on the move as well.

595
00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: From there, there's a number of teams that could be

596
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:31,920
landing spots for him, Braves, Cubs, Astro's, Phillies, Brewers, Rays, Yankees.

597
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,760
I would have said the Red Sox, but you know,

598
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,360
if they needed an arm you would have thought they

599
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,800
to hang on to early. So I don't know about that.

600
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,920
What are your thoughts here in regards to kind of

601
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,960
the situation there, you know, I don't.

602
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 3: I don't have so I think Hancock and or anyone

603
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:59,800
the Mariners trade Hancock specifically, I don't. I think probably

604
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,840
gonna lose value, like wherever they go, because, uh, Seattle's

605
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,719
a really good part to pitch in. So it's probably

606
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,559
gonna be a negative for Hancock. Even if he goes

607
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:14,920
to a better team like say the Braves or the

608
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,559
Phillies or something like, it's still it's it's gonna be

609
00:36:17,639 --> 00:36:22,320
a negative because of the part change. But with that said,

610
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,719
and it really does sound like Hancock is gonna be

611
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,960
moving because like which we call the Mariners really, I

612
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,599
mean they need him that they need him out to

613
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:36,000
bring up Kate Anderson. And I think I think that's

614
00:36:36,119 --> 00:36:41,079
really like that's the real point of like you know,

615
00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:46,440
discussing the Hancock trade, because like if Kate Anderson, like

616
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:51,480
if Hancock moves and Kate Anderson's brought up, Anderson's like

617
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:55,920
a difference maker, So I would be like be all

618
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,599
over like stashing Kate Anderson right now. Like that's probably

619
00:37:01,039 --> 00:37:04,920
probably like the number one stash because like the only

620
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,519
reason the Mariners, like the Mariners aren't like you know there,

621
00:37:08,639 --> 00:37:11,480
it's like why are the Mariners moving, Like why are

622
00:37:11,519 --> 00:37:15,760
they even talking about moving Hancock? Like it doesn't make

623
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,599
sense because like the Mariners are in the thicke of things.

624
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,639
But when you think about it, it's like they want

625
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:23,719
to move them because they want to bring up Kate Anderson.

626
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,440
That's the only reason to move Emerson Hancock. Because Hancock's

627
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,440
been fine, He's been good actually, so you're only moving

628
00:37:31,519 --> 00:37:34,960
him for one reason, and that reason is the guy

629
00:37:35,039 --> 00:37:38,519
you should be stashing. So I think you know, Hancock's

630
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:40,440
probably gonna lose a little bit of value, but Kate

631
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,320
Anderson should be stashed right now.

632
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why Lewis Gesteo is also in that

633
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,440
mix because right now they're going with the six man rotation,

634
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:53,280
and you know, those two would be the oddment out

635
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,599
if you're looking at it. Bryce Smeller, Brian Who, Philbert Kirby,

636
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,639
They're not going anywhere, so it would be be those

637
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:03,000
two that are kind of the oddment out. And as

638
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,960
you mentioned, Ken Anderson has been great, you know, in

639
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,039
the minors, and he is, you know, if not the

640
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:12,920
number one pitching prospect in the miners, he's among the

641
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:13,639
top guys.

642
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: He has seventy seven innings in the minors. He is

643
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,800
a one two seventy or eight six four whip and

644
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,760
this is a double A. He is a forty one.

645
00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: Point seven percent strikeout rate and a three point six

646
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:31,800
percent walk rate. Gray he did throw one hundred and

647
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,840
nineteen innings at LSU last year, so he could potentially

648
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,920
get to you know, one thirty one forty pretty pretty realistically.

649
00:38:41,039 --> 00:38:44,840
And you know, given that there's ten to thirteen starts

650
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,360
five innings each time, but I mean it does seem realistic.

651
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,360
He can actually pitch, come up, pitch and potentially and

652
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,400
finished the season out.

653
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, completely, Like I I feel like like his

654
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,840
numbers are a ludicross, bro, They're ludicras. I mean, they're

655
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,000
just so crazy that you're like, if this guy, I mean,

656
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:10,119
and in Seattle, which is a good park to pitch in,

657
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,880
you know, for home starts, you give him ten ten

658
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:19,119
starts of you know, you give him say fifty innings

659
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,239
start or even forty forty to fifty innings starting next

660
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,760
Monday in the majors, Like I yeah, I mean, it

661
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,599
really could be, like we could be talking about like

662
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,440
a difference maker in every league, even the shallowest of

663
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,199
mixed leagues. I could see Kate Anderson making a difference.

664
00:39:39,559 --> 00:39:42,960
So yeah, he's gonna be He's gonna basically be like

665
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,719
the probably no matter what happens with like every other

666
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,360
trade that goes on, Like you know, Tarik's Scoobale getting

667
00:39:52,519 --> 00:39:57,119
traded from the Tigers, say like nothing's coming up, nothing's

668
00:39:57,159 --> 00:40:00,559
replacing Scooball. That's gonna be like oh wow, okay, like

669
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:05,360
let me grab Drew Anderson. It's like it's not gonna matter.

670
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:11,360
So yeah, Kate Anderson. Man Kate Anderson, not Drew Anderson.

671
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:12,639
That's what I'm saying.

672
00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really hope we get to see him this year,

673
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,840
whether that be via trade or you know, if they

674
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,119
just decide they're gonna bring him up and let him throw,

675
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,480
then then so be it. It'd be great to see

676
00:40:25,559 --> 00:40:29,000
him come up. Gray. In regards to Emerson Hancock, I

677
00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:32,800
would I would be concerned if he does move. His

678
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,760
issue has always been the home run ball, and if

679
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,239
he moves outside of Seattle, I just don't know if

680
00:40:39,559 --> 00:40:43,239
he can maintain kind of the better, better home run

681
00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:47,239
numbers that he's had this year that that feels like

682
00:40:47,639 --> 00:40:50,960
a bad predicament for him to fall into. I say

683
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,039
this because the Cubs are pretty much the front runner

684
00:40:54,079 --> 00:40:56,679
right now. It seems like to get him and that

685
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,719
is not That's not really who I want the Cubs

686
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,440
be going to get, But it's not for me to say.

687
00:41:03,639 --> 00:41:06,400
Plenty of other big names talk about in the trade

688
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:11,039
Verver Mill Gray, you mentioned trade Schoob Ball, Framber Valdez

689
00:41:11,079 --> 00:41:14,719
could also be moved from that spot. Like you said,

690
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,920
I don't think there's a whole lot to take from

691
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,519
Detroit there. Would you be concerned about either of them

692
00:41:20,559 --> 00:41:23,159
moving from Detroit. It is a good part for pitching.

693
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 3: I would be concerned if you were still starting Framber Valdez,

694
00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:31,760
if you were, if you were not, if you were

695
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:37,800
possibly in a coma. I mean, I guess in a

696
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,719
fifteen team mixed league, you have to do what you

697
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,400
have to do. But I've moved on from Framber, and

698
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,719
like you know, I dropped them in our RCL league

699
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,199
like two months ago. Not that that helped my team,

700
00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:54,840
but I did drop them like two months ago. I mean,

701
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,119
he's he's been awful. So Framber is not getting better.

702
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,079
If they trade him, I don't even know what they're

703
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:06,840
gonna get. I mean, Frambers, like Frambers legitimately hit a

704
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,960
wall this year and it's not good. Like his numbers,

705
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,400
like his underlying numbers look like like he fell off

706
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,440
a cliff basically, and then Scooble. He's gonna be good

707
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,480
wherever he goes. So I'm not really concerned.

708
00:42:22,199 --> 00:42:26,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. C J. Abrams also be on the moves,

709
00:42:26,159 --> 00:42:27,840
and we'll talk about him with the Fed.

710
00:42:28,159 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: Fellow shortstop Zach Neto.

711
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

712
00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 2: It feels like both of those are a big payment.

713
00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:36,400
But you know, somebody might make it.

714
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I wonder, I wonder what the uh because

715
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:48,039
the Angels seem like an especially dumb franchise. So I

716
00:42:48,159 --> 00:42:51,760
wonder if I wonder what they'll actually get for a Neto,

717
00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:55,320
if they can get anything for him. But I don't.

718
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,159
I don't really like. Neither of them strike me as

719
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,960
like guys that are gonna take a hit in vat

720
00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:03,599
you If anything, it might value might get better for

721
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,079
both of them, Like if Abrams follows mead over to Boston,

722
00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:13,519
abrams value goes up, or if Nido goes to like

723
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,119
you know, I don't know, the Yankees or something, his

724
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,280
value goes up, like you know. I think both probably

725
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,039
are going to be a positive in value if they

726
00:43:22,039 --> 00:43:25,000
get traded. I doubt either of them will be negatives

727
00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:25,960
if they get traded.

728
00:43:27,039 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. The best closer in baseball could

729
00:43:31,519 --> 00:43:35,360
get traded again in Mason Miller. I mean that he's

730
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,760
just gonna be awesome wherever he goes. There's nothing really

731
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,119
to discuss there. Hunter Goodman could get moved, Mickey Moniac

732
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,000
Jack McCarthy's teammates, they could also be on the move.

733
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: I mean, there's always got to be concerned on anybody

734
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:48,800
moving Colorado.

735
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, yeah, no, totally. You know, the Rockies are

736
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,400
you know, Rockies and Angels are in their own little

737
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,119
basket of dumb and like I really feel like like

738
00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:04,280
the Rockies, I don't know. I mean, maybe they trade guys,

739
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,719
but I always feel I feel like they just go

740
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,239
down with the ship and then like end up instead

741
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,920
they'll end up giving like Hunter Goodman, like a twelve

742
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,559
year contract for like four hundred million, and he'll be like, well,

743
00:44:16,599 --> 00:44:20,119
I'm done playing. I just retired.

744
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 6: They'll just yeah, yeah, it'll just be like, oh, that's

745
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,239
the end of that's the end of my playing career,

746
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:32,119
I guess. And you know with Moniac and McCarthy, like

747
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,760
also like what I don't understand, Like I guess they

748
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,039
don't want to maybe like they don't want to resign

749
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:41,400
these guys because you know, like one year deals and

750
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,840
free agencies and that sort of thing.

751
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,119
Speaker 3: Maybe that's a concern. I don't think the Rockies have

752
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,760
concerns though. I don't think they're smart enough to have

753
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,920
these concerns. So I mean maybe though maybe these are

754
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,159
concerns of why they want to trade them before like

755
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,079
they go they sign big deals next year, but like,

756
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,480
I don't know, I mean, I just I find it

757
00:45:04,519 --> 00:45:06,599
hard to believe the Rockies are gonna be smart enough

758
00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:09,400
to trade guys like it was like, you know, the

759
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,440
Angels not trading Otani like his last year's contract, Like

760
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,360
why why would you not do that? But they didn't.

761
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:20,039
So yeah, you know, I don't know. Maybe the Rockies

762
00:45:20,079 --> 00:45:23,280
do trade them obviously. I mean, they're all gonna take

763
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,039
hits except for Hunter Goodman. Moniac and McCarthy will take

764
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:30,440
huge hits. Goodman he won't take a hit because he

765
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,480
actually hits pretty well on the road, So I think

766
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,920
Goodman will be fine, but Moniac and McCarthy will get

767
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:36,639
a little bit of hit.

768
00:45:38,079 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I would still say Goodman's gonna take

769
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,280
a hit. Just even if he hits fine on the road,

770
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,320
He's still not gonna be in Cores to hit. You know.

771
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,639
His average actually is better on the road this year,

772
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:50,840
So there's there's that.

773
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 2: But just moving away from Cours has other effects.

774
00:45:54,039 --> 00:45:56,639
Speaker 1: And just the way that you see the ball, the

775
00:45:56,639 --> 00:46:02,039
way that things happen, So I would assume everybody would

776
00:46:02,039 --> 00:46:04,280
take a hit there. But yes, he would be least

777
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:09,960
concerned about Hunter Goodman. Sandy al Contra long term, long

778
00:46:10,039 --> 00:46:13,599
time Miami Marlin could be on the move from there potentially, Gray,

779
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:16,280
what are your thoughts on him leaving Miami.

780
00:46:17,039 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 3: It's like I feel like every year we talk about

781
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,880
Sandy al Kintara possibly moving and the Marlins never trade him. Yeah,

782
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,000
I mean they should trade him. He's another guy like like, uh,

783
00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:34,280
similar to Framber actually, like al Kantara's underlying numbers are

784
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,880
pretty ugly, Like Sandy al Kintara is not the guy

785
00:46:38,599 --> 00:46:43,880
he was four years ago. Uh three, four years ago.

786
00:46:44,039 --> 00:46:47,239
He's not that guy anymore. Like his numbers look bad,

787
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,159
Like Sandy al Kintara's numbers look like like a number

788
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:55,800
five to six in a fifteen team mix league.

789
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's still gonna give you innings.

790
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:02,159
Speaker 1: I could definitely see somebody grabbing him, just if you

791
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,320
have a young pitching staff, which I guess I'm just

792
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:06,920
talking about the Rays at this point.

793
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,079
Speaker 2: You have a young.

794
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: Pitching staff that you're not sure about the innings. You know,

795
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,920
Sandey o Contra feels like a really good addition there.

796
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,519
You know, I don't think he's the guy you bring

797
00:47:16,559 --> 00:47:19,960
in because you're making a World series running you need

798
00:47:20,039 --> 00:47:23,679
an ace. But he could definitely be a three to

799
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,519
four for somebody. I mean, I would say the four

800
00:47:26,639 --> 00:47:30,679
year A the one two with that feels about right

801
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:35,159
for him. Like I wouldn't necessarily say he's been overly

802
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,000
lucky or unlucky this year. There are some peripherals that

803
00:47:39,039 --> 00:47:41,920
do not look great, but I think some of that's

804
00:47:42,039 --> 00:47:44,920
just in the bad you know, starts that he's had

805
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,000
that have blewing him to a four year A. So

806
00:47:48,079 --> 00:47:49,920
maybe he's like a four to two four, three, but

807
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,280
that's still fine as a three to four if he's

808
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,119
going to give you innings. Like you said, the New

809
00:47:56,199 --> 00:48:00,559
Orleans and are always talked about as sal and and

810
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,079
somehow they just don't move the guys we assume they do.

811
00:48:05,639 --> 00:48:08,719
Foster Griffin is also a guy that's been been thrown

812
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:14,119
around in the rumors the Nationals clearly looking to potentially

813
00:48:14,159 --> 00:48:17,480
make some moves. You know, it feels like a guy

814
00:48:17,519 --> 00:48:20,760
that's you know, it's the right time for him the move.

815
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,079
He's a thirty year old, thirty one year old former

816
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,480
Japanese pitcher after failing in the US. So what are

817
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,320
your thoughts of Foster.

818
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 3: I like the idea of a guy becoming a former

819
00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:40,880
Japanese person Picture, you know, former former yeah picture who

820
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,719
is formerly in the Japan League. No, I understand what

821
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:45,119
you mean.

822
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it happens in in soccer grade and FIFA.

823
00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:52,840
It happens all the time. People change the nationalities and uh,

824
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,199
you'll play for a different team the Olympics.

825
00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:03,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, formerly formerly of the Republic of Congo. Gray now

826
00:49:03,559 --> 00:49:08,320
playing for Britain. Now playing for Britain. There's Gray Olbray.

827
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:09,119
Speaker 1: Uh.

828
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 3: Foster Griffin. I actually I wonder if the Nationals are

829
00:49:13,039 --> 00:49:16,239
kicking themselves that they didn't sign him for like even

830
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,159
a two year deal, because he looks really good. If

831
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,280
I were a team, I would be going after Foster Griffin,

832
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,000
like more so than a couple of the guys we mentioned,

833
00:49:28,039 --> 00:49:31,039
more so than Sandy or Framberg, that's for sure. Foster

834
00:49:31,119 --> 00:49:34,960
Griffin looks solid. He looks like he could really like.

835
00:49:36,199 --> 00:49:38,079
I mean, I would be concerned about him in some

836
00:49:38,159 --> 00:49:41,360
parks because he doesn't keep the ball down necessarily, So

837
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,719
I mean he does look like he's being a little

838
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,760
bit lucky, Like it's not all beautiful, but I mean

839
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,480
it looks better than a lot of the guys we

840
00:49:49,559 --> 00:49:53,119
talked about. So I think Foster Griffin. It'll depend where

841
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:56,599
he goes, but I yeah, I like Foster Griffin a

842
00:49:56,599 --> 00:49:57,280
decent amount.

843
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. Gray. Let's talk about some

844
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,760
some teams you could be selling. The Mets obviously gonna

845
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:10,320
be selling Freddy praulta Seamanaya definitely available. They would love

846
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,599
for somebody to take on lou Bob, but I don't.

847
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:17,159
I don't know who's gonna take take that terrible contract

848
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,519
on uh And from what it sounds like, lind Door's

849
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:22,639
not moved. So the one guy who could be interesting

850
00:50:23,199 --> 00:50:23,679
probably not.

851
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 2: But what are your thoughts on.

852
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: On those three? Per Alta and Aya, loo Bob. I mean,

853
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,239
they've all kind of been fluctuatingly bad and okay at

854
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,239
different times, except for loop Bob. He's just been bad.

855
00:50:37,159 --> 00:50:41,519
Speaker 3: Loo Bob's been lou Bob has been bad for like, uh,

856
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,519
like what like seven years out of like out of

857
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:49,440
like nine or maybe like five out of seven, Like

858
00:50:49,559 --> 00:50:53,159
he's he's been more bad than good a lot of

859
00:50:53,159 --> 00:50:55,880
his career. The fact that he still gets a pass

860
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,559
from like fantasy people who still are like, yeah, I

861
00:50:59,559 --> 00:51:02,760
think I'll try lou Bob in the eighth round, Like

862
00:51:03,159 --> 00:51:08,199
I don't know, man, I don't work for it. I

863
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:13,360
mean it could like it happens every five years. He's good. Yeah,

864
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,039
I don't know, man. They like Freddy Parolta. I was

865
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:20,480
saying on ras Ball yesterday or whenever I was saying it. Uh,

866
00:51:20,599 --> 00:51:24,000
Freddy Parolta actually is a good case example for why

867
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,639
like the Mets should fire their pitching coach because like,

868
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:33,559
Paralta isn't this bad, but they cannot fix him at all.

869
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,679
So actually I could see Paralta getting better if he

870
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,400
goes to like you know, maybe go back to Milwaukee.

871
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,280
You'll be like, oh, thank God. But yeah, I mean

872
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,320
it'll depend on where some of these guys go. I mean,

873
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,760
if I'm the Mets' I'm sending everyone away like goodbye,

874
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,800
I would even I'd even get rid of Lindor honestly,

875
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,719
like it's you know, it's like rebuild time, man, like

876
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,480
figure out rebuild around Sodo, like figure out something.

877
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:02,639
Speaker 1: Yep.

878
00:52:02,679 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 2: So no Binge, they stay, you know.

879
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,519
Speaker 1: I mean I guess Baby stays because nobody's gonna take him,

880
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,719
and nobody's gonna take Bashett, but everybody else can go.

881
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,199
I mean, maybe Toronto would take Michelle if he picked

882
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:21,119
up some contract. I don't know, but let's talk about Toronto,

883
00:52:21,159 --> 00:52:22,239
because they're not buying either.

884
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 2: They're they're selling everybody who's old.

885
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,519
Speaker 1: Everybody who is over twenty eight, twenty nine years old

886
00:52:29,559 --> 00:52:33,800
can go for them. Gospin, Beaver, Sureser, They're they're all

887
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:39,760
on the block. Springer bar Show, he's with Sanchez if

888
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:44,760
anybody wants him. Jeff Hoffman if anybody wants him. Any

889
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,400
thoughts on these guys, Greg.

890
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I mean, if I'm the Jays, I'm I'm

891
00:52:51,639 --> 00:52:55,039
absolutely I'm absolutely selling a bunch of those guys. I

892
00:52:55,079 --> 00:52:59,119
think Gossman is underlying. Numbers aren't bad, so I think

893
00:52:59,159 --> 00:53:03,199
Gossman actually could be better just in general, So I

894
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:09,760
think he could be a decent like acquisition potentially. But yeah,

895
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,800
I mean it kind of depends on where these guys go.

896
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,679
For the most part, I would trade, I would be

897
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,280
selling if I was the Jays, though.

898
00:53:17,079 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. Let's talk about some of the reds Gray.

899
00:53:20,639 --> 00:53:26,239
They continually disappoint us and this season is no different.

900
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,679
But Brady Singer, he's gotten it together. He can definitely

901
00:53:29,679 --> 00:53:33,519
be on the move. Anio Saras is sixty four years old.

902
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:38,920
He could definitely be traded Tyler Stevenson, Nate Low, Amelio

903
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,119
Pagot if anybody would be willing to take another shot

904
00:53:42,159 --> 00:53:45,079
at him, but they missed their window last year trade him.

905
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no completely, I yeah, I mean the Reds are

906
00:53:52,039 --> 00:53:56,119
the Reds are only good in our minds in March.

907
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 2: Look, Ellie, he now free prospect that we liked.

908
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 3: Reds every March. They're good. So yeah, they're I mean

909
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,679
they should be selling. I mean, I don't even know

910
00:54:12,039 --> 00:54:16,159
what's going. Yeah, like Yohennio Suarez. I still kind of

911
00:54:16,199 --> 00:54:19,599
believe he could get hot at some point, and he

912
00:54:19,639 --> 00:54:22,400
can hit a home run in any stadium, so you know,

913
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:24,599
it's just a matter of him getting hot. It doesn't

914
00:54:24,639 --> 00:54:28,199
really matter whether he's in Cincy or if he's in

915
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,800
New York playing for the Yankees, or if he's in

916
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,239
like you know, Seattle, I mean, like he can home

917
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,320
or anywhere. But yeah, I would be training them though

918
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,480
if I wear the Reds for sure.

919
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Texas. You know they are in first place, so

920
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,519
doubtful they're gonna sell. But there were some forry secret

921
00:54:50,599 --> 00:54:55,639
rumors I saw, and he duryas building well, and really

922
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,119
this is just a roundabout way for us to talk

923
00:54:59,159 --> 00:55:01,920
about Sebastian we gonna see him.

924
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:06,679
Speaker 3: Bring yeah, you know, I don't think so. I don't know.

925
00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:09,599
I mean maybe in September.

926
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:14,679
Speaker 7: Maybe I'd be kind of shocked if they if they

927
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,239
bring them up, because like, like it's one thing to

928
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:22,000
bring up Kate Anderson because there's a legitimate reason there.

929
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 3: To fill a spot. I feel like if the Rangers

930
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,920
are bringing up Walcott, it's like, why, like just keep

931
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,840
them till next beginning to start them next season? You know,

932
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,320
I don't know. Maybe it's hard to say. I'm more

933
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,800
jazz for Kate Anderson though than I am Walcott. I mean,

934
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,840
Walcott could be good though. If he gets called up,

935
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,760
I would definitely pick him up, don't get me wrong.

936
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,559
But I just feel a little more doubtful that he's coming.

937
00:55:49,039 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's he's coming back from the UCL injury.

938
00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:56,000
So even though he's you know, he's not a picture,

939
00:55:56,079 --> 00:55:57,440
it's not like the end of the world.

940
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 2: There's probably some call being taken with him.

941
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,119
Speaker 1: That being said, in ten games back this year, he's

942
00:56:04,159 --> 00:56:05,840
hitting three eighty five.

943
00:56:05,639 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 2: With two runs and three stolen bases.

944
00:56:07,519 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: So I could I could actually see the Rangers potentially

945
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,400
moving on from Corey Seeger if somebody gave him the

946
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,480
right offer them probably being the Dodgers, that just feels

947
00:56:18,519 --> 00:56:22,199
like the right thing. But you know, I don't know

948
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,760
the Dodgers nestally hurting to get Cory Seger back in

949
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:31,280
their lineup either then you got him in bets to

950
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:35,960
really disappoint you consistently at the middle infield positions.

951
00:56:36,079 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 3: So maybe not. And also I will say I'm so

952
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:46,599
pretty lukewarm on whatever the Rangers are doing with prospects

953
00:56:46,679 --> 00:56:51,800
because like, why Langford and Evan Carter they couldn't have

954
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,039
came up with more hype, And I gotta be honest,

955
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,119
I'm underwhelmed. I think it's a lot. It has a

956
00:56:57,119 --> 00:57:00,280
lot to do with Arlington too, Like it's not it's

957
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,440
not necessarily all on Langford and Carter's shoulders, Like Carter

958
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,559
probably a little bit more. Yeah, yeah, Langford could, Like

959
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,320
I feel like Langford could get traded to the Yankees

960
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,119
tomorrow and be a superstar. Like I I I think

961
00:57:15,159 --> 00:57:19,199
it really like Arlington sucks the life out of bats,

962
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,280
Like it's just not a good place to hit as

963
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,519
a as a hitter.

964
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: No, it's not. And we kind of just need Langford

965
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,360
to stay healthy a little bit, and honestly, getting away

966
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,599
from Turf might help him if that could ever happen,

967
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,719
because you know, Turf is known to be terrible on

968
00:57:39,079 --> 00:57:42,960
long legs, so everything he's had could be a little

969
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,440
bit related to that. We always talk about the Pirates selling.

970
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,960
I feel like I've talked about Mitch Keller and Brian

971
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,440
Reynolds moving on from there for the last five years.

972
00:57:52,159 --> 00:57:58,119
Speaker 2: And it hasn't happened. Do you think this is the year? Uh?

973
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 3: I wish. I wish the Pirates would be buyers, to

974
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,840
be honest, I yeah, but yeah, I mean they might

975
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:10,360
sell those guys, It's possible, I don't think so. I

976
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,480
feel like they're just gonna They're gonna write it out,

977
00:58:12,679 --> 00:58:13,559
is my guess.

978
00:58:14,159 --> 00:58:17,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. That feels like the Pirates way for any kind

979
00:58:17,119 --> 00:58:20,480
of middle season. They're just gonna They're just gonna sit

980
00:58:20,559 --> 00:58:22,320
still with whatever they've gotten and go with that.

981
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: The A's, you know, even if they.

982
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: Wanted to try and compete, they don't have They don't

983
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,440
have the players. They're all injured now. Jeffrey Springs, Hogan

984
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,840
Harris feel like the most obvious ones there. You know,

985
00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:38,880
I think if jeff Springs went to a spacious park.

986
00:58:39,519 --> 00:58:43,639
He could be interesting. He's always been pretty solid outside

987
00:58:43,719 --> 00:58:46,199
of Bing Bong, so I really feel like he could

988
00:58:46,199 --> 00:58:48,039
be Okay, Hogan Harris is.

989
00:58:48,039 --> 00:58:50,239
Speaker 2: Gonna be a setup guy or a middle reliever, so

990
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:51,039
probably not a.

991
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: Whole lot there, But maybe we get a glimpse of

992
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,039
Leo Devrees before the season's outbreak.

993
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I could see that potentially, maybe like

994
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,920
I don't see it happening immediately after the deadline, but

995
00:59:06,039 --> 00:59:08,960
maybe like a couple of weeks after, like end of August,

996
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,320
beginning of September. Yeah, it's possible.

997
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And well I don't expect Jacob Wilson to move,

998
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:19,159
so probably moving to third base would be my guess.

999
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,400
He's got a little bit of time there. But he

1000
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,920
could also move the second I mean the second base

1001
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,440
is the easiest the position to play and pretty much

1002
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,320
just the opposite side of shortstops, so should be an

1003
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,239
easy transition either side.

1004
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 2: The Padres.

1005
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: They roster three catchers, so would be surprisedy one of

1006
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,719
them move, especially with Ethan Sallas in the minors.

1007
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,119
Speaker 2: Do you think we see Sallas or just two blocked.

1008
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:48,119
Speaker 3: At the Carol, I'm actually I'm gonna I'm gonna search

1009
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,400
because I feel like the Padres don't have anyone in

1010
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:57,480
their minor league system. Do they have a Triple A team.

1011
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:03,599
I can't believe it. The Padres do have minor leaguers.

1012
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,079
I really I thought they traded them all away, not

1013
01:00:08,159 --> 01:00:09,519
a single one of Triple A though.

1014
01:00:09,559 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 2: They're just running out a Padras.

1015
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,159
Speaker 3: The worst thing that Padres can do right now is

1016
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,800
win like the next couple of days and Preller to

1017
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:23,079
be like, let's get rid of Sallas and bring in

1018
01:00:23,159 --> 01:00:29,960
Hunter Goodman, Like, what are you doing? Man? Chill out? Yeah,

1019
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:31,679
I don't think we see Sallas.

1020
01:00:32,559 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah I would love to, but yeah, I don't think

1021
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:35,360
so either.

1022
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Saint Louis they have a real young roster, no, no

1023
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:43,840
real obvious trade candidates. But we see Josh Obias this year.

1024
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:48,159
He has absolutely been destroying Baseball's Yes.

1025
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:53,119
Speaker 3: It's kind of ridiculous. I really hope we don't go

1026
01:00:53,199 --> 01:00:57,920
through like next March. It's like Bias is gonna break camp.

1027
01:00:58,079 --> 01:01:01,719
He's gonna be with the Cardinals and then and then

1028
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:06,000
I roster him for three years while he struggles, and

1029
01:01:06,039 --> 01:01:11,239
then he has the Jordan Walker breakout in twenty what's

1030
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:11,679
going on?

1031
01:01:12,039 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Man?

1032
01:01:13,039 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 3: Why the Cardinals keep doing this to me?

1033
01:01:16,719 --> 01:01:19,639
Speaker 1: Can we d him Jordan Walker and have him bring

1034
01:01:19,719 --> 01:01:25,239
Bias to you know, his drive line training instead of

1035
01:01:25,239 --> 01:01:26,719
going with the Cardinals training.

1036
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, instead of Joshua Bias getting in the

1037
01:01:31,639 --> 01:01:36,519
cage and talking with large new bar please.

1038
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:38,519
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1039
01:01:38,519 --> 01:01:41,719
Speaker 3: I don't think we see Bias this year, but I

1040
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,639
do think he's breaking camp with the team next year

1041
01:01:44,679 --> 01:01:51,719
and he's gonna be fantastic in three years. Absolutely, yeah.

1042
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,519
Speaker 1: I mean the tools are so loud.

1043
01:01:53,519 --> 01:01:56,559
Speaker 2: He absolutely destroys baseball Gray.

1044
01:01:56,599 --> 01:01:58,599
Speaker 1: I mean, he has thirty one home runs this year

1045
01:01:58,639 --> 01:02:02,920
in ninety games at Triple A. Last year across the

1046
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,760
Miners Gray, in one hundred and seventeen games, he stole

1047
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,159
fifty four bases.

1048
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 2: Like, the tools are just ridiculously loud.

1049
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: On Bias. He does have a thirty per strike out

1050
01:02:14,519 --> 01:02:18,159
right right now Triple A. But like he is, I mean,

1051
01:02:18,199 --> 01:02:21,519
he's just messing around. He can't even really be playing

1052
01:02:21,519 --> 01:02:24,760
that hard. He's just like guys, But when am I

1053
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,079
getting in the call like this is this is ridiculous,

1054
01:02:28,159 --> 01:02:32,159
Like you're playing Blaze Jordan over me right now? And

1055
01:02:32,239 --> 01:02:35,760
Nathan Church like come on, let's let's figure this out.

1056
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:40,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, totally. Yeah, I think they're uh, I think

1057
01:02:40,239 --> 01:02:44,159
they're going to start the clock next April. But we'll see.

1058
01:02:44,679 --> 01:02:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really hope we see him this year because

1059
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,599
I have him in the NL only.

1060
01:02:49,079 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know that we are. Let's talk

1061
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,840
about somebody else that could be traded for are traded

1062
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,559
by the Cardinals, and that's going to start our saging

1063
01:02:58,599 --> 01:03:02,400
off the O'Brien. Would they move him? Great? I mean,

1064
01:03:02,599 --> 01:03:05,039
I mean, why not. They're they're not in the window

1065
01:03:05,039 --> 01:03:08,000
of competing. He's a thirty year old closer.

1066
01:03:08,039 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, totally no, I agree, Yeah no,

1067
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:14,000
why wouldn't they move home?

1068
01:03:14,199 --> 01:03:16,719
Speaker 2: But who's up next? That's what we need to know.

1069
01:03:17,239 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 3: I would say I'd probably go Striano next. I really

1070
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:29,079
feel like closers could, like the closers on the move

1071
01:03:29,519 --> 01:03:33,440
really feels like it opens up the most opportunity at

1072
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:37,079
the trade deadline because like, if you need saves now

1073
01:03:37,239 --> 01:03:39,760
is like the best, Like, as you're listening to this,

1074
01:03:40,239 --> 01:03:44,880
stop listing, pause, pause this podcast for a second, they

1075
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,159
go pick up any handcuff you can think of, because

1076
01:03:48,239 --> 01:03:51,960
right now, like there's gonna be closers who are traded

1077
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:56,599
and setup men are gonna move in and like take

1078
01:03:56,639 --> 01:04:00,199
the jobs and possibly do well for the next like

1079
01:04:00,239 --> 01:04:03,119
two months. Like, just because Soriano is not the closer

1080
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,960
right now does not mean he can't get like, you know,

1081
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:11,599
seven to eight saves, seven to ten saves like in

1082
01:04:11,639 --> 01:04:15,400
the next two months and be you know, decent. So yeah,

1083
01:04:16,239 --> 01:04:20,800
closers moving opens up a lot of opportunities. Whereas like

1084
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,719
you know, like whereas like the guys we were talking, like,

1085
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,320
you know, Kevin Gassman for instance, him moving, It's like, Okay,

1086
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:33,039
who's who's is name? Pearson? Still around? What's going? Yeah,

1087
01:04:33,119 --> 01:04:36,800
So I would say definitely, uh, Soriano would probably be

1088
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:37,920
my my grab.

1089
01:04:38,639 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, anybody who knows from Baltimore, it's like, Okay,

1090
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,800
what prospect we're going to ruin next? Let's see who's.

1091
01:04:44,599 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, so okay, So, speaking of the Baltimore Orioles,

1092
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,079
is Jackson Holiday a NEAPO baby?

1093
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:57,599
Speaker 2: The entire Holiday family just just be great?

1094
01:04:58,239 --> 01:05:02,559
Speaker 3: Like what's going on? Man? Come on, man, I'm thick

1095
01:05:02,639 --> 01:05:06,320
of this. I'm sick of being fooled. Come on, seriously,

1096
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:12,639
is Jackson Holiday a NEPO baby? Sound off in the comments? Okay?

1097
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 2: In fairness, great.

1098
01:05:14,719 --> 01:05:18,079
Speaker 1: It could again just be that the Orioles have no

1099
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:24,000
clue how to develop any kind of prospect I mean, pitching,

1100
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:25,199
it doesn't matter.

1101
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 2: They just they can't develop prospects. It's it's awful.

1102
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:33,519
Speaker 3: Yeah no, And you know, honestly, I thought that was

1103
01:05:34,239 --> 01:05:38,039
for a moment there, I thought that was absolutely the case. Well,

1104
01:05:38,079 --> 01:05:40,679
I think that is the case. But I also think,

1105
01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:44,880
like Kyle Stowers, like, for for a moment there last year,

1106
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,679
I was like, oh, oh, the Oreos are really bad.

1107
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,960
Is really good. But now that's Towers is bad again.

1108
01:05:53,639 --> 01:05:57,159
It's got less legs that theory. But I do think

1109
01:05:57,159 --> 01:06:00,440
the I think the Oreoles they see those I could

1110
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,960
say this like the Oreos are either bad at developing,

1111
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,039
which is which is totally possible, or maybe they're just

1112
01:06:06,079 --> 01:06:10,480
bad at scouting and they're they're drafting guys who actually

1113
01:06:10,519 --> 01:06:13,880
aren't that good. But you know, I don't know. It's

1114
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,559
hard for me to say because I'm not really a

1115
01:06:15,559 --> 01:06:19,280
prospect guy. But the Orea is definitely their history of

1116
01:06:19,639 --> 01:06:23,960
developing prospects is not so good. It's a little bad.

1117
01:06:25,079 --> 01:06:28,159
Speaker 1: It's it's not good great at all. And I would

1118
01:06:28,239 --> 01:06:33,199
say from a scouting perspective, like if anything. Maybe they

1119
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,519
listen to the crowd too much because everybody like universally

1120
01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:39,280
agrees the guys that they have had are going to

1121
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:43,960
be phenomenal across the board, Like better understand, you know,

1122
01:06:44,039 --> 01:06:46,480
we still think he is, but we've we've all thought

1123
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:52,320
he was gonna be great. Jackson Holliday, Dylan Beaver's, Kobe Mayo.

1124
01:06:53,599 --> 01:06:55,960
I mean we can go back to like the Rushman

1125
01:06:56,519 --> 01:07:00,239
like there's like there are guys who have universe sleep

1126
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:01,800
in the green An.

1127
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, totally, and I'm not that So I'm not

1128
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:07,840
that in the know when it comes to prospects. But

1129
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,079
it's also like is that the chicken or the egg,

1130
01:07:10,159 --> 01:07:14,320
because it's like every scout is saying like, oh, Adalie

1131
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:19,840
Rushman's like he's the next Yogi Bearer, Like okay, we're

1132
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,840
a really old reference, but okay. And then he's like,

1133
01:07:25,119 --> 01:07:28,519
you know, like a little bit better than Cabert Ruiz,

1134
01:07:29,079 --> 01:07:32,199
Like okay, I mean he's fine, He's okay.

1135
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Again, he's like, well, Yogi bearro would be if he

1136
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:39,760
got dropped into the two thousands without knowing.

1137
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 3: If he got dropped on his head. So it's basically no,

1138
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:47,639
it's Adelaie Rushman is like fine for what he is,

1139
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,239
but I mean the way they were talking when he

1140
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:52,480
was a prospect. But that's like I go back to

1141
01:07:52,599 --> 01:07:55,400
like the chicken or the egg, like where scouts saying

1142
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,079
this and the Oreoles are like, well, the scouts are

1143
01:07:58,119 --> 01:08:01,239
saying it. So I mean, it wasn't like they did

1144
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:06,199
stuff that was completely like and difficult to like what

1145
01:08:06,239 --> 01:08:10,480
the scouts were saying, like they were legitimately following what

1146
01:08:10,559 --> 01:08:13,360
everyone like, you know. But then it's like, but then

1147
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,479
is it just the scouts are like looking at what

1148
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,840
teams are looking at for the number one pick, and

1149
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,279
they're like, oh, yeah, that's you know. Then then the

1150
01:08:21,319 --> 01:08:24,680
prospect writers are like, well they must know something. I don't.

1151
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,359
I don't know. I didn't think anything of Adelai Rushman,

1152
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:33,199
but apparently the Oreos deal, I don't know something. Something

1153
01:08:33,279 --> 01:08:37,840
is definitely disconnected with the Oreos drafting and the Oreos

1154
01:08:38,199 --> 01:08:42,960
development and the Orio's actual production. Something's not right for sure.

1155
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: You know. Maybe the key is actually that the prospects

1156
01:08:47,119 --> 01:08:50,279
being developed really well in the minors and then the

1157
01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:52,199
major leagues are screwing up. So maybe we just need

1158
01:08:52,239 --> 01:08:56,319
to promote like everybody up in an organization for the

1159
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,000
oils and inspire everybody at the major league level because

1160
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,800
all these guys perform in the miners, they're all great

1161
01:09:03,279 --> 01:09:06,319
through the miners, and they get to the O's and

1162
01:09:06,359 --> 01:09:09,079
the O's like, forget everything those idiots taught you.

1163
01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:11,039
Speaker 2: We're gonna reteach you everything.

1164
01:09:11,399 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah, no, they're you're you could be totally right.

1165
01:09:14,119 --> 01:09:17,920
Maybe it's like the last stop is the problem. Yeah,

1166
01:09:18,079 --> 01:09:18,600
I mean could be.

1167
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's possible. Like I say this because for a

1168
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,920
long time, the Yankees prospects were always like, oh, they're

1169
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,960
they're you know, they've got three top name prospects. They

1170
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,520
were producing in the miners and they weren't producing in

1171
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:32,560
the majors and you're.

1172
01:09:32,359 --> 01:09:35,359
Speaker 2: Like, how did they still have three of the prospects?

1173
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 3: Sorry, I have to stop you there. Miguel Andrew Hart

1174
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:42,760
could still turn it. I will not stay from Miguel

1175
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,199
and Hart slander in this house.

1176
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,520
Speaker 1: But it's just like, at least there's minor league production

1177
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:56,119
for the O's. Uh so, well, eventually maybe they'll figure

1178
01:09:56,159 --> 01:09:59,560
it out. Let's keep going great, we'll otherwise we will

1179
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:03,199
talk about it's just nonsensically for the next thirty minutes.

1180
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 3: At least the Mets.

1181
01:10:06,399 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 1: Devid Williams and Luke Weaver could be moved obviously, if

1182
01:10:10,079 --> 01:10:13,800
if dev Williams moves, it's Luke Weaver. But if both

1183
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,560
of them get moved, who is the next guy upgrade?

1184
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,560
Speaker 3: I'd probably go Brooks Brooks.

1185
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 1: Rarely, Yeah, I mean I think that is. And if

1186
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,039
Luke Weaver for whatever reason isn't owned in your league

1187
01:10:28,039 --> 01:10:31,520
because it's you know, a shallow league, or people are

1188
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,159
paying attention to how good he's been, I would just

1189
01:10:34,159 --> 01:10:37,520
go grab Luke Weaver because there's a definite possibility he's

1190
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,439
gonna fall into they close the role if he's not.

1191
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,039
Speaker 2: Traded as well, he wouldn't be is traded. He could

1192
01:10:43,079 --> 01:10:45,479
be a closer because he's been phenomenal this season.

1193
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:46,159
Speaker 3: Yep.

1194
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,239
Speaker 1: Over in Washington, everybody is on the block, which means

1195
01:10:51,279 --> 01:10:56,079
our favorite Clayton Beeter could be moved or really anybody

1196
01:10:56,119 --> 01:10:56,880
in that bullpen.

1197
01:10:57,039 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Gray, But who do you think is gonna get saved?

1198
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: Resky out for the Nationals because even that question may

1199
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:06,319
not be Clayton Beater if he stays with the Nationals.

1200
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. So like some of these teams, like

1201
01:11:11,079 --> 01:11:14,640
if they become like you know, in the final two

1202
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,079
months if they go from like, you know, winning, you know,

1203
01:11:18,239 --> 01:11:20,279
in the final two months, say a team is gonna

1204
01:11:20,279 --> 01:11:25,000
win you know, maybe ten fifteen games, and you know,

1205
01:11:25,079 --> 01:11:29,199
if they become a five win team, it's like, I mean,

1206
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,439
you know, I mean, the national will probably win more

1207
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:33,560
than five games the rest of the way, but at

1208
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,039
a certain point you also have to wonder if it's

1209
01:11:36,079 --> 01:11:39,319
worth it. So if you're really I guess, if you're

1210
01:11:39,359 --> 01:11:46,359
really struggling, yeah, I mean, maybe Eddie En maybe I

1211
01:11:46,359 --> 01:11:53,880
don't know, Riley Cornholio, maybe Tom Cosgrove. I mean, there's

1212
01:11:54,119 --> 01:11:57,039
it's a mess really in the Nationals bullpen, like a

1213
01:11:57,079 --> 01:12:00,800
few bullpens, like I don't even really like Clayton, but

1214
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,239
in all a few bullpens, like you know, the Nationals

1215
01:12:04,239 --> 01:12:07,000
for one, and like you know, the Angels and the

1216
01:12:07,079 --> 01:12:10,239
Rockies or actually the Rockies bullpen's not that bad, but

1217
01:12:10,279 --> 01:12:15,399
the Angels bullpen, yeah, I mean, yeah, it's pretty horrendous.

1218
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,840
Yates back mean, like it's like if those guys get moved,

1219
01:12:19,239 --> 01:12:23,319
do I really want to mess with the guy behind them? Eh?

1220
01:12:23,399 --> 01:12:26,319
You know, like some of these are like the Cardinals

1221
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:30,199
have you know, Soriano and Raley and the Mets like

1222
01:12:30,239 --> 01:12:33,720
those that those are decent pickups. But some of these

1223
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,880
you have the way whether or not you really want

1224
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,560
to get bothered with them. And the Nationals is one

1225
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,079
of those teams where I don't even think i'd bother

1226
01:12:41,159 --> 01:12:41,439
with it.

1227
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree, And I didn't even put the

1228
01:12:45,359 --> 01:12:48,920
angels on here because there's there's nobody you want currently,

1229
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,079
So why would there be somebody? If they trade anybody?

1230
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,520
Over in Pittsburgh, Gregory Soto could be moved.

1231
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:56,279
Speaker 3: I mean I really.

1232
01:12:56,159 --> 01:13:00,119
Speaker 1: Feel like that just means it's Nason Montgomery's job then, right, Yeah, No, agree,

1233
01:13:01,199 --> 01:13:05,479
Over in Baltimore, they could trade everybody kid, trade Twelve's Cano.

1234
01:13:07,319 --> 01:13:10,119
Let's just assume they all moved Gray. Is there anybody

1235
01:13:10,119 --> 01:13:11,119
else that you want there?

1236
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 3: Uh No, then then it's probably I mean I would

1237
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,319
say probably Rico Garcia because he was getting saves earlier

1238
01:13:20,359 --> 01:13:23,119
in the year. But yeah, then it then it might

1239
01:13:23,159 --> 01:13:25,199
become a situation where it's not even worth it.

1240
01:13:26,239 --> 01:13:29,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's already been a really difficult situation to kind

1241
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:34,359
of handle, so then trading those guys would just make

1242
01:13:34,399 --> 01:13:39,520
it even even more so. San Francisco, anyone could be

1243
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:44,800
available there, Killian brew Baker, j Eric Miller kind of

1244
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,600
are the three that are sitting at the top of

1245
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:51,680
the pecking order any any I mean, let's just assume

1246
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,319
none of them are moved. Gray, who do you like

1247
01:13:53,359 --> 01:13:54,039
get that's Bullpen?

1248
01:13:56,520 --> 01:14:01,199
Speaker 3: No one, Yeah, I want to mess with the It's

1249
01:14:01,239 --> 01:14:04,439
just I mean, the best guy I think so far

1250
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:10,439
has been Eric Miller, and he's been worthwhile as a reliever,

1251
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,720
but he only has two saves on the year, so

1252
01:14:14,199 --> 01:14:15,760
it's kind of like, who cares.

1253
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, Eric Miller's been been really good. It just

1254
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:24,680
without any saves, without any wins, it gets really hard

1255
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:30,680
on rostering relievers. Royal's weak copy paste here right, Like

1256
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:34,119
nobody like even there's not even an Eric Miller in there.

1257
01:14:34,199 --> 01:14:36,600
Like there's not a gym where you're like, oh, this

1258
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,319
person's been good. They're bad.

1259
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, there, they've been bad. I actually I think

1260
01:14:41,399 --> 01:14:45,000
I I roster Alex Lying because he seems like he's

1261
01:14:45,079 --> 01:14:49,119
the favored for saves, but he's been really bad. He's

1262
01:14:49,119 --> 01:14:51,319
been very he's been very terrible.

1263
01:14:52,359 --> 01:14:54,680
Speaker 1: I agree he's the favorite for saves, but he has

1264
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:58,760
been he's been bad. The Cups they could actually be

1265
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:03,079
in the closer market. Jacob Web, Trent Thornton. We've discussed him,

1266
01:15:03,159 --> 01:15:07,840
I think the last like three months running. But if

1267
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,800
you have a leading here before they make a trade

1268
01:15:11,159 --> 01:15:12,279
bread closer.

1269
01:15:14,159 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 3: I would say Web. If they don't make a trade.

1270
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,720
But I actually just dropped Web in a twelve team

1271
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:25,399
mixed league because I well, I need I needed a starter,

1272
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,960
So it didn't really like that was my personal situation.

1273
01:15:29,119 --> 01:15:33,000
But like Jacob Webb is is fine, and he would

1274
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,479
be the guy I would roster for right now. But

1275
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:40,000
I would be surprised if they don't bring in someone

1276
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:44,359
or you know, like Devin Williams is or Luke Weavers

1277
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:47,520
right there for the Cobs, Like why why would you

1278
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:52,640
go into the final stretch without a legitimate closer, right?

1279
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,680
I mean, I don't know. I feel like I feel

1280
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,399
like the Cubs are going to get a They're going

1281
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:02,479
to bring in someone one bone of bonus round the Dodgers.

1282
01:16:03,399 --> 01:16:10,000
They get Edwin Diaz back, so that probably mutes any

1283
01:16:10,239 --> 01:16:16,800
uh Tanner Scott saves value. So that's something to keep thinking.

1284
01:16:17,199 --> 01:16:22,520
Keep in mind, the Dodgers always bring in someone from somewhere,

1285
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:26,000
so I wouldn't be shocked to see the Dodgers or

1286
01:16:26,159 --> 01:16:30,119
you know, they have like Clayton Beader or Devin Williams

1287
01:16:30,159 --> 01:16:33,239
pitching the seventh inning as something next week, you know.

1288
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean even like you know, they like a

1289
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:42,399
roles could get moved potentially, that wouldn't even surprise me

1290
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,399
if the Dodgers, like, you know, we're just gonna.

1291
01:16:44,199 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 3: Go that's something. I yeah, I've been playing around with

1292
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,720
that because I got some pushback on the rolled as

1293
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:55,920
Chapman getting traded away, and I agree with you, like

1294
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,960
it wouldn't shock like why would Breslo not trade away

1295
01:17:00,279 --> 01:17:05,000
Chapman just go to Whitlock as the closer and you

1296
01:17:05,039 --> 01:17:07,680
could bring if you could bring in someone like or

1297
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:11,880
all this Chatman's not like completely replaceable, right, Like it

1298
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:15,159
feels like that feels more of a no brainer than

1299
01:17:15,239 --> 01:17:17,720
Connolly early for Curtis Mead.

1300
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:20,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean if we're just if we're just

1301
01:17:20,399 --> 01:17:22,159
being honest about the Red Sox, they're not.

1302
01:17:23,119 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 2: They're not a World Series roster currently, So I.

1303
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:31,239
Speaker 3: Don't see how anyone thinks they are, Like really like,

1304
01:17:31,359 --> 01:17:33,319
I don't want to be a hater my whole life,

1305
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:35,560
but you look at their team and you're like.

1306
01:17:36,399 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 2: Who's the offensive threat that's carrying this team?

1307
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:41,159
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not a good team.

1308
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:45,039
Speaker 1: Who is the who is the pitcher that's like Sunny

1309
01:17:45,119 --> 01:17:48,520
Gray's like he has to take a walker out to

1310
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,399
the mountain. He's the one you're saying, is like the

1311
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:55,680
guy who's gonna carry you through the entire layoff run

1312
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:56,840
like one guy.

1313
01:17:57,119 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 3: I feel a little bit. I feel a little like

1314
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,800
a crazy person when people are like, well, the Red

1315
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,159
Sox just rattle off fifteen straight wins, There's no way

1316
01:18:05,199 --> 01:18:10,039
they're sellers now. It's like, really, like why why would

1317
01:18:10,159 --> 01:18:12,680
why are they now? Like their team's still a mess,

1318
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,520
Like you realized that, right. I'm sorry. I hate to

1319
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,359
say it because I don't want to. I know there's

1320
01:18:18,359 --> 01:18:21,960
probably Red Sox fans listening, or they used to listen

1321
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,000
at least before this France. But I mean, there's just

1322
01:18:25,119 --> 01:18:28,560
no way the Red Sox are a legitimate and tender.

1323
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:30,159
I'm sorry, it's just not real.

1324
01:18:31,279 --> 01:18:35,399
Speaker 1: No, it's not. I mean it's like I'm a I'm

1325
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:39,439
a Cubs fan. Their they're starting rotation is not at

1326
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,840
that level. Hopefully they address it.

1327
01:18:42,279 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, at least one can win a seven

1328
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:48,399
game series, like anything, anything can happen. But if you

1329
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,600
look at like you know, it's like, oh you got

1330
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,439
like will you're a bray you as they're like number

1331
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:55,119
three hitter.

1332
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 1: Come, let's compare the Cubs lineup to the Red Sox

1333
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:02,880
lineup and then you know some different differences or scene

1334
01:19:03,319 --> 01:19:08,039
at this point, totally alright, great waiver wires. You give

1335
01:19:08,119 --> 01:19:10,880
people some bats. I'll give him some some arms and

1336
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:11,600
we'll get out of here.

1337
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 3: Okay. So uh so Cooper Pratt actually has been pretty

1338
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,720
hot rate recently. He's been uh he's been hitting for

1339
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,479
a little bit of power and stealing bags uh and

1340
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:25,119
hitting for average, so uh grab him, uh if he's

1341
01:19:25,159 --> 01:19:29,359
out there. And then there's also I hate to say it,

1342
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,680
but he's at the he's at the top five on

1343
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:37,560
the Seven Day Player Raider. Louis Rengifo he's oh I

1344
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,119
thought he was? Is he is that with k O?

1345
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,479
This is the We had the kb O k b

1346
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:48,720
O into our seven Day Player Raider. Another guy who's

1347
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:53,199
back Baby Christian and Carci on Strand is at the

1348
01:19:53,239 --> 01:19:56,760
top of the Seven Day Player Raiders. So he's hot.

1349
01:19:57,159 --> 01:20:01,079
Ty Franz has been hot, Jacob Young, Jeff Neil Joey

1350
01:20:01,239 --> 01:20:06,119
or tease Patrick Bailey on the Guardians he's been hot.

1351
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:11,079
Joe mack Marlins catcher, so we got catchers there, Jay

1352
01:20:11,119 --> 01:20:15,279
Cronebert's actually been hot, Tyler Locklear, Cedric Mullins. I feel

1353
01:20:15,319 --> 01:20:19,239
like Cedric Mullins is hot every week and for some

1354
01:20:19,319 --> 01:20:22,399
reason on the season he's just not very good. I

1355
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:26,319
don't understand how that's work. That's what's happening there. Alex

1356
01:20:26,359 --> 01:20:30,039
Baum had a big Sunday and now he's hot. Andrew

1357
01:20:30,119 --> 01:20:33,000
Vaughan hit a home run on Sunday as well, he's hot.

1358
01:20:33,399 --> 01:20:36,279
Chase Madriff has been hot, also hit a home run

1359
01:20:36,319 --> 01:20:42,119
on Sunday. And then finally Michael Massey has been hot.

1360
01:20:42,199 --> 01:20:43,479
So there's some names for you.

1361
01:20:45,119 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ellie pitching side.

1362
01:20:47,199 --> 01:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Brady Singer gets a two star week versus Cleveland versus Pittsburgh,

1363
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:55,439
Brandon Fat at Pittsburgh. Con pree Lip has gotten it

1364
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:58,840
together he is at Seattle, Christian Scott versus Miami, Merril

1365
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:04,039
Kelly at Cleveland, Matthew Liberator at Toronto, Robert Gasser at

1366
01:21:04,039 --> 01:21:10,560
the Angels, Tanner Bbe versus Arizona. Yeah, there's there's some

1367
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,800
good ones. There's there's a lot of bad matchups out

1368
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,079
there among the streaming pitchers. So it's a little bit

1369
01:21:15,119 --> 01:21:18,680
of fire right now, especially as we're in late July

1370
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:23,000
early August. Give it like two more weeks, three more weeks,

1371
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,600
and you'll start getting some of the you know, the

1372
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,039
team's really giving up, and then then we'll get back

1373
01:21:28,039 --> 01:21:31,840
into good streaming sect sets for us again. If you
