Speaker 1: You like fantasy ball sense talk chasm that I shall
not me hear myself stops fans and they can't even
count some of uniforcasom s rodo.
Speaker 2: You ain't better the health?
Speaker 1: Well yeah, several charges on everyone coming.
Speaker 3: Else and I'm alreadium to hear my baby sounds just
like your name was, Mark. And it's a ride by podcast.
It's a rapop podcast.
Speaker 2: It's a rapp podcast.
Speaker 3: It's a ride bo podcast.
Speaker 2: It's a rap up podcast.
Speaker 4: Don't have a rap up podcast?
Speaker 2: Got a turn? It should rap bo podcast.
Speaker 3: Hey, everybody, welcome back. It is the rass Ball Fantasy
Baseball Podcast. I am beat on, joined by the Fantasy Master,
Lithario himself, the good looking fellow across the screen for me.
If you're watching on YouTube, great, all right, how's it
going over there?
Speaker 2: If you're watching on YouTube, I gotta I gotta tell you.
I'm I got my glasses. I got new glasses. I
don't know if you can tell, but I have new
glasses and they they gave me the the gradient, so
I have to like tilt my head.
Speaker 4: I feel like Robert de Niro in Casino.
Speaker 2: Like I'm like what or is it or is Robert
de Niro at the end of Goodfellas. It's like I
I can't see unless I tilt my head up.
Speaker 4: It's not great, man, it's not great.
Speaker 2: I feel like I really is like, uh yeah, I'm like,
you know, trying to see stuff, and I'm like, uh
I got I'm like leaning back forty degrees in order
to see anything. There's gonna be so many typos this
week on Raspball. I can't see anything, like I honestly,
and then if I look down at my keyboard, I
can see, but as soon as I look up, I
can't see. Again.
Speaker 4: This is terrible.
Speaker 2: Who thought gradient lenses were a good idea? I honestly,
I'm I feel like I'm so blind now I'm wearing
glasses and I can't see anything. Who thought of this?
This is terrible?
Speaker 1: I don't know agree, I'm not.
Speaker 3: I hate wearing glasses, so I try to avoid that
as much as possible. It does look like if you
put some tape right in the middle of your new
glasses that you could be like every single like nerd
from a eighties movie, Like you would just have like
that pece of tape across the big middle, the big bridge.
Speaker 2: Actually, so what I thought about doing is like trying
to jimmy something. So my glasses are up like a
half inch off my nose. So it's like this. See
now I can see well, but I can't hold my
glasses like this. The whole time, I'm holding my glasses
like an inch off of my nose.
Speaker 4: And this is not great.
Speaker 3: I think you have to go back to the pink fedora.
You have to take a piece of fishing line tied
from the fedora.
Speaker 1: To your glasses.
Speaker 4: Up.
Speaker 2: I could just like go behind my ears and go
like this and tilt my glasses up with my fingers
pushing on the back of the glasses.
Speaker 4: By my ears, you.
Speaker 3: Get those strings that connect to the back. You can
run that through the back of your shirt.
Speaker 4: You belt, you're so, you're brilliant.
Speaker 2: I have like croakies, but I'll be pulling on them
like I'm a puppeteer. It's brilliant. Why did I think
of that? Oh that's all I gotta do. I'll tell
cougs go buy me some crokies.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's exactly the solution. Gray and uh, I
don't think this this call up is the solution to
the white Sox problems, but hey, it's it's a good
step forward, hopefully, if that is Brandon Montgomery. He got
the call up and fifty six games across Double A
and Triple A, has ten on runs, five stone bases.
Speaker 1: He's sitting three fourteen, four, twenty two, five forty eight, twenty.
Speaker 3: Four point eight percent strikeout right, fifteen percent walk rate.
He's got like four games of the Majors recording this
Sunday afternoon, So there may be things that happen to
the numbers as we're talking about them, but four games
the Major so far, home run two sixty seven, twenty
five percent, strikeout rate, six point three percent walk rate.
Speaker 1: Again, it's four games, so it's whatever. What are your
thoughts here on Brandon Montgomery. Uh?
Speaker 2: Actually, I kind of I liked Brandon Montgomery. You're you're
sort of you. I feel like you're you're bringing down
my enthusiasm a little bit. I was a bad before
U before you started talking.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2: He looks good to me. He's a switch hitter. They
brought him up to and they're gonna play them. I mean,
it's not like it's a nova, uh Martes type situation.
There's a there's no reason to promote them, uh, except
for the play them. So I mean, you know, White
Sox are not a bad They're not a bad lineup.
I think they're I looked actually today, they're seventh in
the league for ops.
Speaker 4: So it's a good lineup.
Speaker 2: And uh, Brandon Montgomery to me looks like he has
good power, good speed, hits for a good he hit
for a good average all throughout the miners. You know,
we'll see he's probably close to a twenty five percent
strikeout rate, maybe twenty seven twenty five to twenty seven
percent strikeout rate, probably hits like maybe two forty to
two fifty in the majors. But power and speed that works.
I mean, I don't know if it's necessarily for every
single league. Even though I probably would pick him up
in every league, I don't know if you're gonna necessarily
hold on to him in every league. You're probably you
might drop him in the shallows of leagues for you know,
other bats that are on waivers. But in the twelve
teen mixed League, I could see grabbing Brandon Montgomery and
him turning into something. I honestly I kind of like him.
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a fan.
Speaker 2: I think you know, everything looks good, even in the
small sample size that you know, as of this recording,
only four games, but he's got an almost fifty five
percent hard hit percentage. Obviously it's super small sample size.
I mean, you know, it's like you kind of can
just throw that out, but I throw it out anyway. Yeah,
I mean, I don't know. It looks you know, we'll
see what happens if he crashes and burns and you
need to drop him to drop him, but a flyer
on upside like he.
Speaker 4: Has, I'm interested, man, I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 2: I think you know, if I were to say for
this year, I wouldn't put his numbers probably at more
than like say, twelve to fifteen homers, five to seven steals.
Speaker 4: To fifty average, So you.
Speaker 2: Know, I mean, it's not like not gonna light the
world on fire, but as a fifth outfielder in case
he does come up and is hot, yeah, I'm with it.
I have bids for him in multiple leagues, as you know,
as we record this on Sunday, so we don't know
exactly what bids are going to come to fruition, but
I have him probably in every league. I have him
as my top guy to get. I like him more
than the other call ups we're gonna talk about, And
I kind.
Speaker 4: Of like the other call ups too, but I like
Brandon Montgomery the most.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think he's the best hitter of
the group and generally consider the best prospect of the
group that we're going to talk about. My only concern
is the launch angle for the Miners was one point
nine degrees. That coincided obviously with a pretty high ground
ball rate forty nine.
Speaker 1: Percent this year at Triple A.
Speaker 3: It's been higher through a few games in the Majors,
but again it's been four games, so there's really not
any kind of set standard yet at the majors. That's
my only concern, Forum, But you're right, I mean, he
has power, he has a little bit of speed, has
always had a decent control of the bat in regards
to strikeouts, average, that kind of thing. So I agree
you would pick him up pretty much across any league.
There's somebody who should probably be grabbing him. Just looking
across you know, our parts league, and let's take a
look at some of the players who are either on
the bottom of the rosters or you know, maybe free
agents rather of him, or you know, fairly disappointing South Franly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Brandon Montgomery and also like I mean, you know,
I saw the home run he hit on I want
to say, he hit a walk off homer on Thursday
or maybe it was it was his first game up anyway,
and he hit a walk off homer to the uh
he had it to the opposite field.
Speaker 4: It is really easy power.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't you know, like you said, the
ground balls are probably a little bit concerning, but he's
got easy power. I would say probably thirty five homer
power over the course of a full season. So yeah,
he can get in, he can get into uh, he
can get into the ball. So yeah, definitely over Southreelick
though for sure is off all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if i'd he's thirty five, but yeah,
he does have he does have some decent power there.
How about him or you know, supposedly good power Kerry Carpenter.
Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I you know, carry Carpenter is tough because you kind
of have to uh platoon him, and it's better in
a daily league to do that because he never starts
against lefties, and you don't want him to start against lefties.
Speaker 4: But so, but I would still go. I would go.
Speaker 2: Kerry Carpenter over Brandon Montgomery.
Speaker 1: All Right, one more, how about fellow rookie Ryan Walshmith.
Speaker 2: Oh, I would go definitely Montgomery.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that one depends a little bit on
whether I need speed or power, but I think in
general I would take the gamble on Montgomery hitting the
ground running. You know, Walshmith's been fine, He's just been
kind of boring, and that was that was always a
little bit of the profile was he would be be
a solid hitter, but there's not a ton for our
game necessarily there spright off the bat. Moving over to Colorado,
they called up Cole Carrig triple A this year fifty
seven games, six home runs, thirty stolen bases.
Speaker 1: He's sitting three thirty eight four fourteen, five nine. He
is a fifteen point two percent strackout rate in a
ten and a half walk rate. He actually has two
home runs so far over five games. He's sitting two
eleven since being called up. What's your thoughts here on
Cole carry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they actually the Rockies have a career, a career,
a team record for runs in a game and the
game's not even over yet. They just scored their twenty
third run.
Speaker 4: Against the A's.
Speaker 2: At the the Rockies are playing in Vegas, so it's like,
so imagine cores without the humidifier. Imagine cores if Colorado
was one hundred and ten degrees in and dry heat
so dry, like like Srias is dry, like awful dry. Yeah,
you know, Cold Carrig is probably, like I said to
people like Brandon Montgomery or cold Carrag is for me
is basically a coin flip, where like I like Brandon
Montgomery a little bit more from a soul like batted
ball profile kind of thing. But Cole Carrig, as I
said on ras Ball, I think col Carrig could be
better than Brandon Montgomery this year. So they're really closed
like Cold Carrig for for me, like I feel like
Cold Carrig has a disadvantage in one big way is
that like I don't think he's gonna hit for as
good average, But the positive is he's in cores, so
that I.
Speaker 4: Mean that could fix a lot of things.
Speaker 2: Like you know, Coke Carrig could be potentially hit for
a higher average than Brandon Montgomery simply because of the
Cores fat here. You know, Cores has a higher babbitt.
You know, the White Sox is their stadiums obviously not Cores.
So yeah, but I will say Brandon Montgomery over Cold Carrig.
But they're pretty similar in that they both have power,
both have speed. Carrig's strikeouts probably gonna be a little
I would guess they're gonna be a little bit higher.
His walk rate is definitely gonna be a little bit lower.
His speed is a little bit better than Montgomery, but
his power is a little bit less. But then again,
you have Cores, so they could really be very similar.
Speaker 4: I liked them both.
Speaker 2: Like I said before, I put in bids for a
Brandon Montgomery, I guess. But by the time people listen
to this, my fanb will already be over. So I
could just say I put in seventy seven dollars out
of one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: So I put in seventy seven dollars.
Speaker 2: Bids for Brandon Montgomery and Cold Carig for both of them.
So I have Brandon Montgomery above Cold Carrea on my
U in priority. So I would take Brandon Montgomery over him,
but I have him for except I have him for
the same amount in FAB so I like them both.
I think, uh, Cole Carrig is like worthwhile and just
like I said, with Brandon Montgomery, any league, really, I
mean I have actually I have.
Speaker 4: Cole Carrig in our RCL league, which is a twelve
team mix league. So I'm I'm happy. I'm happy to grab.
Speaker 2: Either of them. They're really like it's like splitting hairs,
which one I like fifty one forty nine Brandon Montgomery,
but very close.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. Just from my bat and ball perspective,
Brandon Montgomery.
Speaker 3: It's a little harder. They both have a little bit
of a ground ball issue in regards to their bat
ball profile, but that's, you know, that's something that can
be kind of worked out. And also it's still very
small sample sizes in regards to these guys. They are
still very young, so both worthwhile. Both can be targets
for you if you're looking for people. I would say
Montgomery's better from a power and probably average perspective, as
you said, and then character would be better, I would
assume from a stolen bases perspective, although, like I said,
you already had two home runs in five games, which
I did would not have expected.
Speaker 1: But it is the right circumstances. As you mentioned, they
are in Vegas, and that is just.
Speaker 3: A crazy, crazy place to be hitting right now and probably.
Speaker 4: For the future. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I just oh, yeah, absolutely, yeah. Like people are like, oh,
there's a minor league park in Vegas. It's like, yeah,
but the elevation and the heat is not changing once.
I mean, the Vegas Park will be indoors, but the
elevation is not gonna change. Like when the A's moved
to Vegas permanently, the ball is gonna fly.
Speaker 1: It's gonna fly.
Speaker 2: Man. I was saying on Rasbell the other day, like
if I could bet right now, then Nick Kurtz will
be a future Hall of Famer if he stays with
the A's for his career. I mean, I'd make that
bet because like, Nick Kurtz is gonna he's in a
He's in a tiptoe to five hundred homers really easy
in that, Like, if he stays healthy in Vegas, Oh
my god, man, it's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 4: I just actually just realized that the Rockies the Rockies.
Speaker 2: And as the game is right now, it's twenty three
to nine, and the Rockies are they were facing Carlos Cortes,
a hitter who's pitching.
Speaker 4: So they're in Vegas and they're facing a guy who's
not even a pitcher.
Speaker 2: Very nice, very nice, well well thought out Vegas as
a destination for.
Speaker 3: A team, just an infinite lifetime or for that guyes.
At least he gets to pitch, though you know, he's
he's not got a whole lot else to do. He's
usually taging, so at least he has something to do
with his time.
Speaker 1: Now, good for him. Let's move over Gray, Let's talk
about Cooper Pratt.
Speaker 3: It was called up by the Brewers this year on
tripa A six, on runs, seventeen stolen bases.
Speaker 1: He's hitting two forty four, three fifty three, three ninety two.
He's a fourteen point three percent strikeout rate and a
thirteen point two percent walk rate. The bat and ball
is not overly impressive here. What are your thoughts on
Cooper Pratt?
Speaker 2: Not overly impressive with a fourteen point three percent strikeout
rate and he's hitting two forty four and he's got
forty steal speeds forty steel speed. Yeah, I would say
not impressive. That's an understatement.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I don't know where they've the Brewers. I was saying
this for Louis Laura too, who they also signed the Brewers.
That is, they signed him to a long term contract.
Speaker 4: And I imagine.
Speaker 2: Laura is gonna be up very soon as well as Pratt.
And I was saying this for Laura on Friday, that like,
he looks like a poor man's Bryce Terrang. Uh and uh,
Cooper Pratt awesome, Like I they're I think they're cloning
Bryce terraangs and which and with each clone they're getting slightly.
Speaker 4: Less Bryce Terrang each one. It's wondering they're wading down
Bryce Terrang.
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know if you remember multiplicity grade,
but that's essentially the plot, is what you're explaining. Now,
the more clones they make, the the less quality builds
you're you're getting, you know, you step away.
Speaker 2: So yeah, exactly, that's that's exactly what I was goodning at.
So uh yeah, So Cooper Pratt, I mean if I mean,
I feel like, if you are a baseball fan, you
should be able to know that if like a guy
has like a fifteen percent strikeout rate and has forty
steel speed and is hitting two forty four in the minors.
You should be able to figure out, like how hard
he's hitting the ball. Like that's that's a pretty good
giveaway that a guy is hitting the ball extremely weak.
Which is also it's kind of funny because like he
also has a little bit of power, but apparently everything
that doesn't go out of the stadium, it's like a
ground ball to second base. He hits a lot of
ground balls a second base like Cooper Pratt. Yeah, I
mean I like him for you know, so okay, so
I've been on him for NL only because.
Speaker 4: You know, he's got speed.
Speaker 2: Speed travels as far as like you know, getting promotion
goes like you know, it's not like he's going to
get promoted to the majors and lose his speed. So
steals matter for NL only. I could see even in
a fifteen team mix league, if you know, if you
really need steals and an am, I I could see
a I could see a flyer on Cooper Pratt in
a fifteen team mix league. I I think like I
looked at him in our RCL and then I was like, nah,
I don't need it, but if you are really desperate
for steals, I could see potentially I could see pick
him up in a twelve team mix league. I personally
I did not, but I could see it other than
steals though, Like there's a chance he could hit two
ten with like you know, some steals and be and
hit ninth like ninth in the order and just be
kind of useless. So I mean, it's fine for a
flyer if you really need steals, I wouldn't expect much else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a whole lot there other than
maybe some steals. And that's assuming he can get on base.
That he's kind of just in that classic sagged off mold.
If you absolutely need solen bases, and even then probably
pop him in for a day and then pull him
back out whenever your roster is full again, at least
on a twelve team or even probably a fifteen team league.
Speaker 1: Really moving over.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Cardinals. They have sent Nolan Gorman
down because he's hitting all of one ninety four gray.
They have called up Blaze Jordan. He has eleven home runs,
two stone bases. He's hitting three thirteen eleven and a
half percent strikeout right in a seven and a half
percent of walk rate. What are your thoughts on Blaze
Jordan taking over for Nolan Gorman here just blows.
Speaker 4: I you know, I kind of like the I kind
of like.
Speaker 2: Blaze Jordan more than more than Cooper Pratt, you know,
even though like usually we go in order of the guys.
I like, I actually put Cooper Pratt on the outline,
so it's my fault. It's my fault where he's located
on this outline. I kind of like Blaize Jordan Moore.
I mean, I don't think like so Blaze Jordan. To me,
he looks like probably Nolan Gordon. Like best case scenario
is he's Nolan Gorman with a better average. Not I
don't know if I'd go as far as saying a
three hundred average, but like you know, Noan Gorman, like
you mentioned, he was hitting one ninety four, So I
would say Blaize Jordan's probably in the two fifty to
sixty range.
Speaker 4: He has.
Speaker 2: He has some power though, like Nolan Gorman had, so
I would say, you know, potentially fifteen homers the rest
of the way, if you know, he stays in the lineup,
and and does you know he plays every day, which
I would imagine he does, if he's if he starts,
if he keeps hitting, I would say, no real speed,
so I mean limited, you know, kind of limited, you know,
I would say, and now only definitely obviously fifteen team
mix league. Sure, if you really need a cornerman, I
think there might I mean, there might be better, even
in a fifteen team mix league, there might be better.
But I could see a flyer on Blaize Jordan in
a fifteen team mix league. I think he's you know,
if you're saying realistically, fifteen homers, two to four steals,
two fifty average to fifty five, it's fine.
Speaker 4: I mean it's pretty eh.
Speaker 2: So, definitely not twelve team mix league unless he's you know,
unless he gets hot and then it's like you're just
picking him up because he's a hot bat. But as
of right now, I would put him in, like, you know,
sort of cornerman fifteen team mix league. Range and a
little bit of power, no real speed and a little
bit of average.
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of corner and field replacements. Great, let's let's
help the people out. Let's talk about some possible replacements.
As you know, we Jornavni Plaze Jordan coming up, but
Jose Ramirez continues the handmate bone injury as well as
Vinnie p both have hanmdmate bone injuries.
Speaker 1: They're going to miss some time.
Speaker 2: So this is so I don't have Jose Ramiers in
any leagues. But when I heard Vinnie Pascatino had a
hamm at bone fracture, I actually I put up some
streamers and I started celebrating. Is that the fact that
I was able to get Vinnie Pascatino out of my
lineup without me having to do anything personally to him.
You know, things are looking up for me. It was
I was a I was looking for a reason to
take them out of my lineup for about a month now.
Speaker 4: So thank you, Yeah, I mean you in the preseason.
Speaker 2: I got to give my man beat On some props
because in the preseason you said you didn't like Vinnie Pascatino,
and I was like, nah, you crazy, I said you crazy,
And I was actually the crazy one.
Speaker 1: At least one guy a year, Gray, one guy a year.
Speaker 3: I get right over you and I will hold it
over your head, just like I got everybody right.
Speaker 1: Even though you are the number one.
Speaker 3: Ranker over the last three years. I will still hold
my rankings over your head that I tell you I'm.
Speaker 1: Right on and hold that conviction strong. Yes.
Speaker 3: Speaking of that, let's talk about those first base replacements. Gray,
let's do an early waiver wire section. Just throw some
names out that people could be looking at, whether that's
corn or first base.
Speaker 2: Uh well, I would say, uh so, okay, So Luis
Garcia Junior I like, but he's also he's in a platoon,
so you're gonna take that into consideration. Alec Baum has
actually not been that bad after starting after being awful
in April, he's been decent. Uh Manzardo has been decent recently.
Nova Marte actually has three homers in the last three games,
so he'll probably be on the bench for the Redex game.
Speaker 4: So you know, there's that.
Speaker 2: Ronald the Cunya Junior is injured again, and Mauricio Debon
has been hitting lead off, which I don't.
Speaker 4: Think that really makes any sense, but he has been.
Speaker 2: Kyle Carros he's been okay, and he also has home
games and corps so and Rumfield for that matter.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's about it for that's that's what I
got for you.
Speaker 3: That's a good list there, Gray. That is that covers
a lot of bases in different leagues. Over in Dodger Land,
Will Smith is heading to the il. That means Dalton
Rushing is gonna get every day at bats, well mostly
every day at bats. Thirty nine games this year, he's
got eight home runs. He's sitting to seventy. Is this
any pickup in every format for catcher?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, I don't know how much this reaches
other people, because like I'm you know, I'm pretty plugged in,
and I'm also I also live in La so I
get a lot of Dodger news that maybe other people
don't get. But Dalton Russian, and I don't say this
about a lot of people. He seems like he has
a stick up his butt. He does that. He seems
like he seems like he's got an issue with every
Like it's like he gets a single and it's like
Otani's like.
Speaker 4: Doing his dance.
Speaker 2: Russian is like he's like pissed off.
Speaker 4: All the time. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2: And that doesn't really have anything to do with fantasy,
So I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just had to get that all.
Speaker 2: My chest, I guess rushing though for fantasy, I mean,
he's been pretty good. I've I've had him in a
two catcher league for even when Will Smith was playing,
I had Dalton Rushing out there in my two catcher league.
So now I would say absolutely because he's got every
day at bats until will Smith returns, and you know
that you know as far as that goes, because like
with the Dodgers, they're really only playing for the playoffs.
So if Will Smith is like, you know, not in
not feeling well, and you know, like it could be
back in a week, it could be back in three weeks,
it could be back in five weeks. I mean, who knows.
With the Dodgers, like they they give their guys a
rest because as they can. So I you know, I
like Dalton Rushing as far as like, uh, you know, power,
no speed, but he's a catcher, so whatever.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 2: He makes great contact hitting for a good average.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 2: Like him over forty percent hard hit. I'm I'm a fan.
As for uh yeah, for not only a two catcher
league either, I would say at this point probably single catcher,
twelve team mix league if you need, if you need
a catcher. I could see adding rushing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could definitely see a scenario where he's kind
of you know, you've been.
Speaker 1: Streaming him it out.
Speaker 3: You could definitely be one of those streaming catchers for you.
I feel like this guy is the you know, the
very bottom of the catcher one, just because of playing time.
Speaker 1: Carter Chanson or would you rather have Dalton rushing?
Speaker 4: I would go rushing.
Speaker 1: I would as well. How about him or Gabrielle Marine?
Speaker 3: Know, uhas at least solid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marino hit a home run today, so I'd probably
just stick with Marino if I had him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably would too. How about how about Ryan Jeffers.
Speaker 2: Oh, Ryan Jeffers, if he's healthy, for sure, but I
mean he's not healthy.
Speaker 3: I know he's not healthy right now. But I'm I
guess he's not coming back actually for a little bit.
Never mind, that was a poor pool de Gray, my bad.
How about how about Joe Mack?
Speaker 2: Oh, actually, I'm I'm dropping Joe Mack in a two
catcher league.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm done with Joe Mack. We had we had
a good run, but I mean he did homer today
on Sunday.
Speaker 2: But I think it's like two homers and he's hitting
like two fifteen or something.
Speaker 4: He's been miserable. He is not it's not been good.
And I think it's two homers in two fifteen.
Speaker 2: But like I said at the start of the show,
I can't really see anything anymore.
Speaker 3: So how about how about back up Bingbong Stadium Jonaheim?
Speaker 2: No, no, not, no, rushing over Jonaheim.
Speaker 4: I mean, okahin's a streamer.
Speaker 2: If you're in, if you're in Bangbog, Yeah, got it.
Speaker 3: Let's go to York where they are just continuing to
pile up the injuries. One way or another, Jason Dimingez
finds his way back as Trent Grisham hits to the
IL this year in triple A or Domingos has five
runs Tintil bases, he's sitting three eighteen. I mean, we
know he can hit a triple A. Is he gonna
hit at the major league level?
Speaker 1: Grade?
Speaker 3: Should we be grabbing him? Grab him over all of
the prospects we've talked about so far.
Speaker 2: Well, I would grab him over Pratt and Jordan.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't necessarily over Montgomery and Carrick. Uh.
Speaker 4: I would go to Montgomery Carrig Domingas. But I do
like Domingos.
Speaker 2: I think there's a place for him, Like I I
have him.
Speaker 4: I have Diminga's in a twelve team mix league.
Speaker 2: I'm very I'm fine with it for now. I mean
he's got As of right now, he's hitting I think
he's hitting second in the Yankees lineup between Ben Rice
and Cody Bellinger. He had a home run on Saturday.
As you mentioned, He's got power and speed, and he's
always torn up the minors and he's only twenty three
years old. I think there's still a chance Diminga's can
catch on. I don't I want to write him off.
I actually I kind of like Jason Domingos for you know,
if nothing else For right now, while Grisham is on
the IL, I would take a flyer on diminga Is
to see if he's like, you know, if he gets
hot and he's like you know, he.
Speaker 4: He cements himself into the lineup because there's room there.
Speaker 2: I mean, Spencer Jones isn't very good, you know, Paul
Goldsmid is what he is, and there's Ryan McMahon's. I mean,
there's a lot of iffy stuff going on in the
Yankees lineup, and Judges and't coming back until August, So
I would grab Dominga's because even if Grisham returns, you know, promptly,
Domingas could still.
Speaker 4: Have at bats in that lineup. So yeah, I like Dimingos, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do too.
Speaker 3: I would take them over all the prospects that we're
talking about, just if we're talking about raw numbers, whether
we're looking at like what they've done in the majors
or just the bad ball profile.
Speaker 1: The Kisses is pretty much the best of the group.
Speaker 3: Maybe there's pieces of the other guys like you mentioned Blaze, sorry,
Brandon and Carrick, maybe there's pieces of them that are better.
But you know, if everything clicks, it's Jason Domingaz is
the best of this group. Unlast year, in one hundred
and twenty three games, he went channel runs twenty three
stone bases to fifty seven. You know, I told you
either of any of those prospects, we're gonna do that,
like they'd be viewed as a pretty successful year for them,
and the Mingus has already done that. So I will
go ahead and just pick up Jason Mingaz if he's
still out there over those guys, But I understand wanting
to take a little bit of a different path as well,
since we have seen him and we know that when healthy.
The Yankees, you know, I think they prefer to us
back down to the miners for whatever reason, unless he
does absolutely rake upon call this time over in Atlanta,
Spencer Streider is heading to the IL with elbow soreness.
Speaker 1: That's I really hope this doesn't become his narrative for
the rest of his career. Grade it's it started so strong,
but Jr. Richie is back on the On the positive side,
he's been successful in the miners and the majors for
the most part.
Speaker 3: This year, Kate Ray is gonna hover in like the
nineteen twenty percent, so that's the ideal. Walk rate's a
little elevated as well, so this could also open up
starts for our boy, really your boy, Diddy, what's your
thoughts on the Atlanta pitching situation?
Speaker 2: Oh, Man, Diddy or Flint is? I mean that would
be amazing? I think I think, uh, I don't know,
I think, uh, unless you know something, I don't know.
I think they're pretty happy with Flentez in the uh
in middle relief, So I would imagine j R. Richie
is the is gonna be the guy, and I like
Flentes Bearlan Ritchie, I mean for our game for sure,
for uh, you know, for us, uh, at least for
right now.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, uh, j R. Richie could potentially
click at.
Speaker 2: Some point, but uh, he's really kind of struggled with command,
so I I can't get really that excited about him.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I I didn't put in any bids
for j R.
Speaker 2: Richie in any of my leagues, like his his command
has been a mess.
Speaker 4: In uh, Triple A and in the Major.
Speaker 2: So I I'm kind of like, if someone wants to
take a flyer on him, it's you know, it's on them.
Speaker 4: Maybe as a streamer potentially if.
Speaker 2: He's got a good matchup, But I really don't see
a ton right now with JR.
Speaker 4: Richie where I'm like.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I could see, you know, I mean, at
some point he could click and break out and it
could be. Why you know, he's well touted as a prospect,
but you know, I don't see I don't see it
so far. I mean, maybe, you know, maybe it's a
mechanics thing. I don't know, at some point it could happen.
I'm not saying he's always going to be terrible, but
for right now, I'm not really interested in him in
redraft leagues at least in a you know, in a
keeper in a dynasty. Then you do what you gotta
do for you know, Potentially down the road, I don't know.
I mean, you know, something could happen where he's good
at some point. The Stride stuff is pretty concerning though.
I mean I I was saying not to draft him
this year because, like I, I just didn't, you know,
because just like last year just didn't really scream a
like there was issues with last year when uh, you know,
when he returned, his command was off and there it
just didn't seem right unfortunately. I mean, it sucks to
say it because like I, you know, I have none
against Spencer Strider. I you know, I think the Spencer
Strider we saw though in those insane two years that
when he was really good. I don't know if we're
ever going to see them again, Like I I don't
there's no sign that they're coming back at any point.
And you know, now he's got elbow inflammation.
Speaker 4: I you know, I don't know, man.
Speaker 2: I unfortunately, Like I know, he's uh, he's scheduled to
go see uh doctor Keith Meister.
Speaker 4: Uh, the Tommy John.
Speaker 2: Eister uh uh, the guy who's like, you know, taking
over for doctor James Andrews as the number one time
John doctor. And I mean, you know, Spencer Streids already
had the you know, he's had these surgeries. Like it's
not it's not things aren't good for Spencer Stryder. Unfortunately,
it's it's sad because I mean he does you know,
when he's good, he's so good. But I wouldn't be
shocked if we don't see him again for another eighteen months.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm concerned that's happening as well. And when he
does come back, I wanted to move to the bullpen
is potentially in his future.
Speaker 3: You make a great closer if he can get the
velocity back, but I just don't know that if you
can hold up to starting. Unfortunately, so sad to see,
but grab Geo Richie and I would say in spots starts.
Speaker 1: But the control is a concern. The strikeout rate is not,
like it's not at high to where it's worth taking
the gamble. Really on the walk rate, so it's really
got to be kind of matchup based at this point.
Speaker 3: And that's why I said Didier could potentially get opportunities
is you know, Richie did struggle his first time up
with a little bit of the control, had a couple
of blow up starts, so that could potentially happen again
in Atlanta's definitely in the hunt of things, so they
could have a quick trigger figure with Richie and sid.
Speaker 1: Him to go work on that in the minors. I think.
Speaker 3: Somebody who was officially back Gray Jackson Turio five home
runs this week, hitting over four hundred, number one player
on the play Raider for the last seven days. Where
are you putting him rest of season?
Speaker 1: Gray? What do you think of Jackson Turio?
Speaker 2: Mm, we're actually speaking of I would say the rest
of the season. He's probably around where I had him
in the preseason. I don't know if he's changed that much,
maybe around ten overall. I Yeah, I mean I think
I had him within like percentage points of that coming
into the year, So yeah, I mean, not that different.
But I was thinking, actually, when you speak of the
rest of the season, I was thinking of Aaron Judge
and how he was, you know, he was the number one.
Well it was Otani or him in every league, right,
And I was thinking, like, if Aaron Judge doesn't return
until August, where is he going next year? I know
it's a little early to talk about twenty twenty seven,
but like, I where do you think Aaron Judge goes
in twenty twenty seven?
Speaker 1: Number two?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So you don't so you think there's no no real change, then.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3: I mean the injury is injuries have always been the
thing with him, Like, if he plays one hundred and
fifty five games, you're getting one of the top two
players in baseball on your team. If he doesn't, and
he doesn't every you know, three or so years, then
you kind of short changed.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll give you this scenario.
Speaker 3: What he's going to be thirty five though, I mean
that's something that every other time he's come back, he's
been younger. So I that perspective, I understand it. But like,
who's who's stepping up and taking his spot? I guess
is my my thing?
Speaker 1: Like who is.
Speaker 2: Otani is definitely continuing to be number one, So it's
like I think Bobby Wood Junior as James Wood well,
I mean, we were talking about James Wood being a
top ten guy at this time last year and then
his second half happened. So let's see, let's see a
good second half from James Wood before we coordinate him.
But I would say Aaron Judge or Bobby Wood Junior
as of right now, I guess is what you're looking at.
And I I'm not taking Aaron Judge.
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, maybe I'm crazy, but so
let me say, let me say this scenario. What if,
like Aaron Judge returns in August and is like sixty
percent of what he usually is for the rest of
the season. That doesn't re injure himself, but it's like,
you know, hits like two sixty with like maybe fifteen
homers the rest of the way, You're you're you're totally
taking him at number two overall.
Speaker 3: I could see the case for Win if if you know,
he returns and doesn't look good again.
Speaker 1: The age is probably my.
Speaker 3: Biggest concern, and that it just kind of lingers in
a younger person that wouldn't necessarily be his concerned.
Speaker 1: I could see the case for Win. I don't really
have a problem with that.
Speaker 3: I think Jose Ramirez would be in that discussion, but
he's now got the hm.
Speaker 1: A bone maybe like CJ.
Speaker 3: Abrams, if he just continues, he know has the track record,
plus he'll have the big season, so you can potentially
put him in that discussion.
Speaker 1: But I like to know.
Speaker 2: Atually I have a guy who possibly So I don't
know about number two because he doesn't have really the
steals that help with the fantasy value.
Speaker 4: But what about Nick Kurtz? Obsolutely I love Nick Kurtz,
but like his so like we're not even.
Speaker 2: It's like mid June and he stays healthy and he
goes through Sacramento for like he goes bingboging for the
rest of the season, hits forty five two ninety one
hundred and twenty RBIs one hundred runs, you know whatever.
Speaker 4: Steals he gets twelve steals, Like he's still like, I feel.
Speaker 2: Like Nick Kurtz is the guy that we thought Vlad
could be after twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I just needed to stay in minor league
parks like Theick Kurtz, if that happened, everything would have
been fine.
Speaker 2: That's true. Why didn't he just stay in a minor
league park? Why didn't he have to get called up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I was just thinking that with Aaron Judge because I
was like, you know, because if he doesn't come back
until August, I don't know. I don't know if people,
I mean, maybe people draft him second, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're don Alvarez.
Speaker 2: Will be it, He'll be in the discussion if he
continues this pace. Like, there's a lot of guys who
if they continue their pace at this point, so it
is still early. I was just thinking, because Judge doesn't
really have a pace to continue right now. If he
just comes back in August, that's a long you know,
that's a long time to be out to continue to
be like to lead into the next year and be
the second pick overall.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe, I don't know. I just wonder. Anyway,
back to Jackson Curio.
Speaker 2: I have Jackson Curio in uh my labor league, and
I will say that he's basically turned He's turned around
my life. I feel like he's turned around my entire
team because like, for a while I was really struggling
for hitting. Even though you know, I've drafted well, I
drafted Vinnie Pascatino, So there is that.
Speaker 4: But I feel like.
Speaker 2: Churio man like he is, he looks great if he
could just if he could just look like not. You know,
I don't expect five homers a week from and hitting
four hundred, but if he can just have like a
good rest of the season, oh man, it would it
would be so helpful for.
Speaker 4: Me for I I do.
Speaker 2: I do think it doesn't heard that he was also
in like he was in Vegas part of this week,
and that doesn't hurt ever, So yeah, we'll see. I
would say Churio is probably still you know, twenty to
twenty five homer guy versus like, you know, what he
did this week.
Speaker 4: I don't think. I think Vegas helped.
Speaker 2: Like he's got speed though, so you know, and he's
also hits for a great average, So I you know,
Jackson Curio is a totally well rounded player. Like if
he goes twenty five, twenty five, three hundred, it wouldn't
shock me.
Speaker 4: And that's in you know, pro rated. Would he miss like.
Speaker 2: Three three weeks in April or something, so yeah, I
mean that's a good season if he could do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I miss he missed all of April in
a little bit of May.
Speaker 4: So okay, so there, dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to do what he's doing and get those numbers
would be it's still a great season from him.
Speaker 1: Him or a fellow four home run here this week,
Barron Buxton.
Speaker 4: You know, I would still go Cheerio. But Buxton's looks.
Speaker 2: Like a really solid one hundred and ten ish game guy.
I mean, he's got he does like the thirty homers,
fifteen steals in one hundred and ten games. That's a
that's really good, pro rated. So yeah, I mean I
don't mind Buxton, but I would go Cheerio over him.
Speaker 1: How about your favorite Michael Harris, I'm assuming you go Cherio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Cheerio over Michael Harris a second for sure.
I yeah, I don't even think Michael Harris the seconds
and he's not even in the same conversation as these
guys I don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm obviously a hater.
Speaker 2: I'm a natural born hater when it comes in, But yeah,
I mean he's that. I just goog I just searched
on the player raider Michael Harrison seconds at fifty three overall,
which is good. I mean there's nothing wrong with that,
but that's about where I would put him. I think
if I was redrafting, I think Michael Harris a second
has proven to be around the you know, a top
fifty player, which is better than where I had him
in the preseason, don't get me wrong, but it's not
at Cheerios level.
Speaker 1: All right? How about Breakout of the season Jordan Walker.
Speaker 2: I would go Cheerio over Walker. But I do believe
in Jordan Walker. I I it's not like I'm not
saying that, Like I'm not saying I would say Cheerio
over Walker, just as if like I don't believe in them.
I really do think Jordan Walker is a great hitter,
but I would go Cheerio over him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. And how about how about James Wood?
I mean, we know what happened last year? Would you
get out while you could?
Speaker 2: That's really tough because that's like I keep like, for
you know, for the last couple of weeks, I was like,
every time James Wood would hit a home run, I
would say in the roundup, like at this point last year,
how many home runs he had?
Speaker 4: And you know, I think people started getting annoyed.
Speaker 2: So I stopped doing it. But I mean, there is
something to the fact that James Wood did exactly this
last year and like both of us, I mean, or
maybe not you, I'll speak for just myself. I know,
in my top one hundred for the second half, I
had James Wood in like the top five. Like I
assume James Wood was that guy, but we still haven't
seen a full season from him like this was. You know,
this is exactly what he did last year and then
he fell off so tremendously. So I would go Cheerio,
but I mean, James Wood can absolutely be better than Cheerio.
So it's a tough call.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Honestly, I felt a lot better last year cow
it into the All Star Break about him than I
will this year, strictly because like last year, the strikeout
rate had fallen. The Babbitt like was high, but it
wasn't crazy and he was just destroying the baseball this year.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a thirty.
Speaker 3: Four point seven percent strikeout rate here in June, he
had a thirty two point three percent in April. I
came down to May to twenty four percent, but like
to be high, you know, in the thirty.
Speaker 1: Percent range for strikeout rate.
Speaker 3: I was hoping that would come down that I feel
like that's a good signaler for him. And then on
top of that, you know, he's staring at a three
fifty nine babbit right now. He mashes the ball. He's
not without speed, so that makes some sense that his
babbit would be high. But it just it feels a
little bit too close to the last season plus a
high strikeout rate. I fully believe he's going to be
a stud at some point. I would just you know,
if the strikeout rate ever came down, it would just
make me feel a little bit better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, completely, that's a you know, James Wood's a
tough one because, like I know, for a fact, if
I were to say sell James Wood, people would be
throwing tomatoes at my head because it's like he's so
fun like and I get it. It's like it's like
saying sell Jacob Miserosky. It's like, are you out of
your mind? You lost your marvels?
Speaker 4: Like are you crazy? Sell who?
Speaker 2: And so it's like, you know, it's hard because like
I know, even like I even said let's sell O'Neil
Cruz and I got all kinds of people throwing tomatoes
at me because of like O'Neil Cruz is fun and
I get it. I mean, I understand they're fun. I
mean I I totally understand where people are coming from
and why you want, like you don't want to sell
like your top player on your team. But there is
a little bit of like, I don't know, man, James
Wood has some real serious issues under the He's got
some problems there. But we'll see. Hopefully James Wood is okay.
I mean I could see the case though that he
could potentially.
Speaker 4: Have a bad second half. Again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's dangerous and it's kind of that.
Speaker 3: You know, you're playing the stock market and just for
fantasy baseball players.
Speaker 1: And you know you want to sell high. But where's
that high point is it?
Speaker 3: Is it now or does he carry it through the
season and it's some time after the season.
Speaker 1: H That's that's always the conundrum. Let's go ahead and
sang off up Gray over in Seattle Andres BuNos, who
we kind of talked about last season or last week
in an unflattering light.
Speaker 3: He left the game with the trainer dealing with back tightness.
Who is taking over in Seattle? Who are you grabbing
up this fabrin in Seattle if anybody, Uh, well.
Speaker 2: I did. Actually I look to see if I could
pick up Jose ferrer so I so I figured he
would be even though he's a lefty. Bizardo is the righty,
so he could be the guy too.
Speaker 4: And you know, they both have been good.
Speaker 2: So I actually look to pick them up in our
RCL league. I look to pick up both of them,
and they were both already rostered. So you know, oh
well raspberry my lips. I yeah, I mean, I I
think probably it's gonna be a committee if Munos can't go.
So I would say both Bizardo and Ferrari are are
the pickups. I mean, you know, righty or lefty is
kind of depends on who the Mariners are going to
be facing in the ninth inning. So I don't know.
Maybe Bizardo, I guess, is probably a better bet because
he's a righty. But yeah, I mean it's I think
it's a coin flip as who were who would replace him?
And I out Dan Wilson would even name a replacement
if new Knows can't go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, also throw out Nick Deavilla. He's been throwing well
recently so if you're in a very deep league, probably
only there's another name if everybody else is taken over.
In Houston, Brian and Brad has gotten a couple of saves.
They're not apparently not throwing hater back to back yet.
Are you hanging on to Brian and Brad who are
still happy to have him off of your team.
Speaker 2: I'm still happy to not have Brian Abrado, even though
I did see he gotta he gotta save and I
think he got a Vulture.
Speaker 4: Win this weekend.
Speaker 2: It was it was a great time of me going
through the box scores. Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't pick
Brian and Bray you back up, but I mean, you know,
I would say he's fine if you're in a league
where you can play middle relievers.
Speaker 4: But like in a weekly.
Speaker 2: League, having a guy like that is tough. That's that
was the league where I dropped him. I dropped him
in a weekly league. And you know, in a weekly league,
it's like you can't have a guy a potentially an
empty spot in your lineup, like you have to you
have to start. You know, either two start starters or
a guy with a good matchup is better than a
mineral reliever who's just sitting there. But if you're in
a daily league, I'm fine picking up Bryan or Brady
I guess in a daily league.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely agree.
Speaker 3: Over for the A's Elvis Alvarado had a couple of saves.
Speaker 1: Hogan Harris has saved as well. Is this just a
full on committee or you still like one of these
guys an a st closer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we got to do a moratorium on
the A's bullpen.
Speaker 1: So it's so bad.
Speaker 2: I mean they're like Carlos Cortes might have the best
of you Ray of all the A's relievers, and he's
an outfielder, so I yeah, I wouldn't mess without Alvarado.
But you know, if you're desperate for saves, Alvarado would
be the guy I would go for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would still go with Harris. I just feel
like he's better.
Speaker 3: But if you're looking for saves, I think they're both
gonna kind of just grab grab saves here and there. Unfortunately,
over in Minnesota, I'm just gonna keep asking it every week.
Is there a closer here? As Jon just Gomez gets
to save this week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say Yon just Gomez is the guy,
I think, uh, you know, it was.
Speaker 4: Probably it might have been when you were in Europe.
Speaker 2: But at a certain point I've I've come to terms
with the twins are probably not gonna be a good bullpen,
but Gomez is okay to roster as of right now.
Speaker 4: I would I would roster Gomez.
Speaker 2: I I if you need saves to me, even though,
like I know, they haven't named him the closer to me,
he's the He's the closer, if you know, I wouldn't
speculate past Gomez though, Yeah that's fair.
Speaker 1: How about Baltimore Andrew Kittricks gets saved? Is he now
the closer in Baltimore?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: That's a mess? Man? Where's hell Why isn't Hellsley coming back?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Hellsley I think went to the same rehab as Josh Hater, Like,
what's going on?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: You don't need to throw? Just throw once in rehab
and you're good, let's go. I uh yeah, I would say,
I mean, I don't know. I would say Hellsley is
probably due back soon. So if you want to ignore
the uh the Oreo's bullpen as of right now, I
would just ignore it. But if you really are desperate
for saves, I'd say probably still Rico Garcia, even though
Kittridg's got that saved. Like Garcia at least has been good.
You know, he's got like he's got a one something
here Ray, So I would just go Garcia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair enough. Over in the White Sox, Brian
Hudson gets a save. He's also been used as an opener.
He's being used all.
Speaker 1: Over the place. Is he the closer?
Speaker 3: Is it Sir Anthony and Divengas? Is this just a committee?
What's up with the White Sox bullping?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: I would go to Sir Anthony Domngaz. I think he
I think he's the clear cut closer. It's just he's
not very good. So you know, he coughs up, he
coughs up, wins Loath saves. Grand Taylor is actually very good,
but they haven't I don't think they haven't committed to
him as the closer. But he Green Tailor is great.
I would I would roster grand Taylor just because he's great.
And you know, if you get a save or too,
you get a savor too. But I think Domingaz is
the closer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think just about everybody in that
Bullpen has been better than Domngaz, but Dominya is still
so in there and hanging on to the job as
as closer for now.
Speaker 1: Grant Taylor's been good.
Speaker 2: Brian, Yet I want to be I'm want to be
shocked to see do Mingas get traded like that's that's
kind of how it feels like.
Speaker 4: It's like the White.
Speaker 2: Songs are giving him saves just to boost his trade value,
and then they're gonna get rid of him and then
Grand Taylor will take over in you know, uh July
thirty first or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds that sounds about right.
Speaker 3: Greg the Angels, Ryan Zephyr John gets to save this week?
Speaker 1: Is he the closer for the Angels? Doesn't matter?
Speaker 4: No, no, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I Kirby Yates, I think is the guy, and I
would not roster Kirby Yates, and if I did roster him,
I wouldn't start them as I have and in our
al only league, I've had Kirby Yates on my bench
for the entire year. I haven't started him once.
Speaker 3: And I think you're gonna be okay, great. I don't
think that's gonna to hurt you too. Too bad to
be missing out on Carby Eate's four three eight ERA and.
Speaker 1: One save, So I think you do all right.
Speaker 3: How about the waiver wire, Gray, you got some names
with the people other than the corner infielders we've already
talked about.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, sure, So Ramon Leriano he went down with
a season ending injury, and Sama Taylor has been starting
every day and he also is hitting over four hundred
for the last week with a homer, and he's got
some speed.
Speaker 4: He had a couple of steals, so.
Speaker 2: I actually, I mean, if it wasn't for Cole Kerrig
and Brandon Montgomery, Sama Taylor might have been my top
guy for FAB this week. But I do like Sama
Taylor a lot, so I would go him. He's been hot,
So Bryce Eldridge. Jack Cagleone is actually he's taking over
for Pascatino, So I don't think cagleone is really unowned
in most leagues, but if he is on waivers, yeah,
I mean Jack Caglione should be rostered. Zach Geloff, anyone actually,
anyone with the eighties because of what's going on, anything
anything going on in sack Town and bing Bong Stadium.
Speaker 4: Anyone.
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on, Royce Lewis returned, was hot. Uh he
actually I think he was available in some of my leagues.
So yeah, Royce Lewis Andrew Vaughn had a great series
in Vegas. No shock there, but he has been good
for the better part of the season that he's been healthy. Anyway,
moving on, Matt Chapman has been incredibly hot. I don't
think he's unowned in most leagues, but if he is,
you should grab him.
Speaker 4: Paul Goldschman's been hot.
Speaker 2: Cody Clemens, Jake Berger, Garrett Mitchell has actually been hot,
which you know, kind of sucks because I want Louis
Laura to come up. But at some point Mitchell will
cool off and we'll get Laura. Bryson Stott's been hot.
Uelve Marte my favorite.
Speaker 4: He's been hot. Spencer Horowitz, Gary Sanchez.
Speaker 2: Tyler Callahan pirates outfielder who got called up when O'Neil
Cruz went down.
Speaker 4: He's been hot.
Speaker 2: And then finally, Jung Hu Lee has been hitting like
five hundred in the month of June, so he's been hot.
Speaker 4: Grab him.
Speaker 1: There's some way of our names. Now on to the
pitching side.
Speaker 3: Stephen Kolek versus Saint Louis, Noah Cameron versus Saint Louis Andre,
Paionte versus San Diego, Javier Sad versus The Rockies, Brandon
Young at the Mariners, Zach Mattel versus Kansas City, Shane
