2247 - Drafting the third round of the 2026 Season

WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:20.800
And green.
2
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:24.199
It's citations everyone at rich Wilsa. Welcome to Fantasy Baseball Live.
3
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.120
Today is October twelfth, about three o'clock in the afternoon.
4
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.320
As always, I'm here with my good buddy, mister Tim McCleod.
5
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.039
Tim has gotten winter up there yet.
6
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.520
Actually, the past couple of days have been a little chilly,
7
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.960
but prior to that we were sitting seventy. We even
8
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.240
had a few eighty plus days. In the past week
9
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.600
and a half, it's been unseasonably mild so far, and
10
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.399
it's supposed to be in the sixties all this week.
11
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.960
So good news from the north. The winter hasn't moved
12
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.640
in yet and as long as that, as long as
13
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.480
that holds, Jimmy will be a happy camper.
14
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.200
Yeah, it's been it's been quite nice here. It's been
15
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.920
as as with you. It's been a little chilly this week.
16
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.200
We've got this big storm coming up the east coast.
17
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.359
It's already hit our North Carolina home. So hopefully that's
18
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.120
all standing. And now it's going to be rainy for
19
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.159
the next couple of days. But then you know, fall
20
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.680
is here still pretty nice and it's been a remarkable fall,
21
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.719
and baseball has nothing to complain about because the weather's
22
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.519
been nearly perfect for baseball games.
23
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.239
Yeah. How many rainoads have we had so far?
24
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.840
I think zero. There was one of the games that
25
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.680
one of the Detroit games was delayed. There was the
26
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.239
lay start, the one that Scooba pitched. I think that
27
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.760
was last Tuesday, so I think it was, or maybe
28
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.719
it was a game after school. By anyway, some one
29
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:49.519
of the Detroit games got delayed.
30
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.879
Yeah. Other than that, it's it's been smooth sailing.
31
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.519
Yeah. Have you watched any of the playoff games?
32
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:03.400
Yeah? Actually, I I've watched most of them. In between
33
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.599
I'm getting my keepers all assembled for the XFL, and
34
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.960
I think I got that project done. And I said,
35
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.960
working on some catchers, and yeah, watching a lot of
36
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.400
baseball and enjoying it. I really am it. Just it
37
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.840
almost seems weird that, like we're into extra innings and
38
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.639
there's no runner on second base. But it's a good weird.
39
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:24.960
Yeah, that was one of my questions for you. Then
40
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.360
I want to go back and then we'll paulse I
41
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.080
want to go back and talk to you about your
42
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.560
setting your keepers. But I mean that was one of
43
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.039
that was my question because I'm with you I mean,
44
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.840
we've seen eleven fifteen any games, and you just don't
45
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:41.439
see that anymore in the regular season. I mean, I
46
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.280
know you're a traditionalist, so you're probably enjoying this. I
47
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.680
am as well. I'm glad they suspended that for the playoffs.
48
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:49.879
Let them play.
49
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.719
Well, yeah, exactly, let them play in you know, the
50
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.280
Mariners Tigers game. How could how could anybody complain that
51
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.759
the game took too long? Yeah, like, I just if
52
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:04.439
you do, you don't love the game as far as
53
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.919
I'm concerned. Yeah, it was every inning, there were opportunities,
54
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.199
It was exciting. Yeah, there weren't a pile of runs scored.
55
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.680
But do you need a pile of runs scored to
56
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.080
have an exciting, fun game to watch? No, I don't
57
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:20.639
think you do.
58
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.800
I don't think you do either. I don't think that
59
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.319
is the general consensus by people who are setting the rules, though.
60
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.680
I think they believe because you're competing with football and basketball,
61
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.919
which are much more run and running gun type of thing,
62
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.960
a lot more entertainment going on, that you need to
63
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.199
have that excitement and a pitcher's duel or you know,
64
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.159
three outs with you know, a man on second base
65
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.439
with no outs is not exciting.
66
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.560
Yeah, I don't know. I am a traditionalist. I get it.
67
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.759
In season, you don't. They don't want games going nineteen
68
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.039
innings in season when you play one hundred and sixty
69
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:11.960
two do you really need that? You know? I think
70
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.919
they've been addressed the end season. But I don't think
71
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:20.120
anything should be decided in a playoff format by having
72
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.120
somebody starting at second base or third base or wherever
73
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.079
you know, earn it. That's part, that's part, that's part
74
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:27.519
of the game.
75
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.199
I haven't seen the ratings of some of these longer games.
76
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.360
I hope they're good. I fear they will not be.
77
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.800
I just, you know, I'm I just think at least
78
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.879
the Americans like instant gratification. I mean, it's just what
79
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.959
the whole world is about. And you know, you had
80
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.600
to wait for three and a half hours to find
81
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.360
out who won. You know that that Mariners Tigers.
82
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:55.000
Game, Well, yeah, and all the Yankee fans are and
83
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.360
Red Sox fans will be, you know, painting a picture
84
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.639
of negative on the whole thing. So yeah, I don't
85
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.639
know why. I think major League Baseball, with the way
86
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.199
this is shaking down, I don't think this. I don't
87
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.240
think this is going to be a ratings bonanza for
88
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:16.160
the World Series.
89
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.680
Well, I mean, make it that's that's that's the only
90
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.519
big market that's really well. Toronto is a big market,
91
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.920
but it's Canada.
92
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.399
But I don't I.
93
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.360
Don't think the I do not think it's the Brewers
94
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.759
and the Mariners. Would that would call some consternation up
95
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.720
in Major League Baseball headquarters. I don't think they would
96
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.279
be very happy with that matchup at all.
97
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.800
Well, I don't think they're going to be happy with
98
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.839
the ALE representative whether it's the Brewers or the Jays.
99
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.480
Either way, it's fair fair, yeah, the AL. But if
100
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.360
the Brewers beat the Dodgers, then that truly, yeah, they
101
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.759
would be very very cranky. I think is see is
102
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.120
the right word. And yeah, I think it's good for baseball.
103
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.519
I love seeing the Brewers doing well and the Mariners
104
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.439
and I saw it. It's good for the game.
105
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.160
I saw a very interesting article in the Wall Street Journal,
106
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.000
in the business paper here in the US, and they
107
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.319
talked about the Brewers and the Dodgers being a critical
108
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.720
series for the twenty twenty six collective Bargaining agreement because
109
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:35.160
if the Brewers can knock off the Dodgers. That's going
110
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.920
to put a bit of a counter argument for the
111
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.839
owners who want to have some kind of financial ceiling,
112
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.759
some kind of you know, kind of pay ceiling on everything.
113
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.680
Because if the Brewers can defeat the Mighty Dodgers, the
114
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.079
smallest market team in baseball, then anybody can. You just
115
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.800
have to have good management, good player scouting, et cetera,
116
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.120
et cetera, which is what the I thought it was
117
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:05.360
a really interesting take on that matchup. So the owners
118
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.279
might be rooting for the Dodgers to win, and the
119
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.839
players might be rooting for, you know, the Brewers to
120
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:13.319
win to give them a bit of a leg up.
121
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.360
I thought that was fascinating take on it.
122
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.560
Yeah, it makes perfect sense. And let's face it, the
123
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.160
court of public opinion comes into play, and it's going
124
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.519
to be hard for Major League Baseball and their management
125
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:33.879
team to justify anything as far as a cap, okay
126
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.480
being necessity. If the Brewers win, they're not gonna yeah,
127
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.800
they're not going to sway the public. Well yeah, hey,
128
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.120
major League Baseball is saying we need a salary cap. Hey,
129
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.160
the Brewers just won the World Series where they need
130
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.560
a cap for Yeah, you know what, I mean yeah,
131
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:52.079
and I think the public would be very supportive of
132
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.040
the players as compared to owners should that occur. Yeah,
133
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:57.920
it makes total sense.
134
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.759
I think that to me. If if you talk to
135
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.199
kind of a not a big Major League Baseball fan,
136
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.800
but just somebody who watches the World Series, they want
137
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.519
to see show Hey Otani play. And my guess is
138
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.519
that's what people because that's he is the biggest name
139
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.800
recognition in baseball and people people are curious and they
140
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.439
want to see it. So I think that's what people
141
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.000
will be looking for. And if he's not there, I
142
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.319
think ratings will be down. I think he'll be disappointing
143
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.879
overall because I don't think it'll be talked about enough
144
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.360
because that means it will probably be the Mariners against
145
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.879
the Brewers, and I think that's that's gonna be tough,
146
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.320
or the or the Brewers against the Blue Jays.
147
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.200
So yeah, no, I agree. I think the casual fan
148
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.360
wants to see Stani. Yeah, Okay, they want to see
149
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.960
Mookie Betts, they they want they want to see Aaron Judge.
150
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.600
They don't want to see South Raylick as much, but
151
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.440
maybe they should after did you hear what he did
152
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.639
after the last game, I did not.
153
00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.360
I mean, it's all the home run, but I didn't.
154
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.279
I didn't. And see the what he did?
155
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.879
What did he do at the at the end of
156
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.080
the game, after all the celebrating and everything was over,
157
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:11.159
he went around the the perimeter and took pictures with
158
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.240
any fans that wanted pictures with their with their kids.
159
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:21.200
You know, that's awesome, and really he gets it, and
160
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.720
there's a reason that he's you know, he's he's loved
161
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.240
by the fans in Milwaukee. When I saw that, and
162
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.000
he was just basically walking around the perimeter of the
163
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:37.320
net and anybody who wanted a picture with their kids, whatever, Yeah,
164
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.039
that's cool. I liked I liked seeing that rich.
165
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.720
Really, but I'll just give you just a very small
166
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:47.360
sample size. My we had brunch with my all of
167
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.919
my family, so my daughter and her husband, and my
168
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.320
son and his wife and their two children. So my
169
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:57.120
three year old grandson, Jack's, they come to our place.
170
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.240
He's sitting down. Agay said Jackson. I heard you were
171
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.080
watching Theankees game because my daughter in law is a
172
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.159
big Yankees fan and my son trying to become a
173
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.320
Yankees fan. He goes, yeah, Aaron Judge is great. I
174
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.200
mean un you know, unfettered. This is a three year
175
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:17.039
old already knows who Aaron Judges. He likes Aaron Judge
176
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.240
because Aaron Judge is famous. Everybody talks about it. That's
177
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.840
That's just the momentum of marketing and the way it is.
178
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.320
People love the famous players.
179
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.320
Yes they do. And he's working on his golf game.
180
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.600
That's that he is. Indeed, So I wanted to read
181
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:39.840
you something the I so for some reason, when I
182
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.960
go out to Facebook, I get just mostly junk, but
183
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.279
I get a lot of Yankees fan sites for some reason.
184
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:53.639
So this is from Yankees. Three sixty six guys that
185
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.200
need to be gone this winter. Anthony Vocal one two,
186
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.039
Luke Weaver three, most of the bullpen outside of Bednar
187
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.840
for Brian Cashman in his front office. Five Aaron Boone
188
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.320
and his staff. So the Yankee fans are not happy.
189
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:15.039
Then they didn't win it. They're not happy. There's their
190
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.840
standards are not making the playoffs, not doing okay, their
191
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.279
standards are winning at all. They don't win at all. Yeah,
192
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.080
there's there's a problem in Yankee Hey, they might be
193
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.159
right on some of those calls, but I think it's
194
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.399
a little a little magnified. Oh yeah, I mean so
195
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:34.399
it's yeah.
196
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.759
Brian Cashman's been around forever. Aaron Aaron Boone's been around forever.
197
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.919
Do any of them lose their job after the season?
198
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:51.519
Ah? I personally, I'm not a big Aaron Boone fan.
199
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.399
I I think there's a danger that he might be.
200
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.799
But I don't see Cashman though. Boone Y asked Cashman.
201
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.879
Though, Yeah, yeah, I I just don't know. I mean,
202
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.080
I don't think it'll make a difference because the Yankees
203
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.519
will continue to do what they do. They got these
204
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:10.399
great young pitchers down there. None them are going to
205
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.320
see the light of to day. They're going to bring
206
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.440
in you know, famous guy who costs a lot of
207
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.480
money and gumb up the works. And you know, also
208
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.960
the Brewers are bringing up Miserowski and he's winning the
209
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.679
final fifth game, right, that's the difference.
210
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.039
Well yeah, and you know, when you look at the
211
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.879
way the Yankees are constructed their team, like pitching wise,
212
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.240
they should be incredibly strong next year.
213
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:42.399
Yes, they should.
214
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:47.799
Very very strong, especially uh, you know, being that Garrett
215
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:52.279
Cole will be back. Okay, we we saw how how
216
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:57.320
well Cam Schlittler did this year, your pair, you know,
217
00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.080
with you have.
218
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:00.399
To say that name right.
219
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:08.039
Yeah, it's so easy to it's so easy. Well, yeah,
220
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.879
it's like I had the same problem with Clark Smith
221
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:15.320
for a while. It took at It took a while
222
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.519
for me to get that one right, that knee five
223
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.960
who I still would attempt. But uh, you know, they've
224
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.120
got a good team, they really do. There's not a
225
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.720
whole lot lacking. Uh. One of the one of the
226
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.759
problems that they do have, and it's one that they
227
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.919
created themselves is and Carlos Den and I don't know,
228
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:42.200
he's now down to two years left. I believe on
229
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:46.720
those two years, I'm just gonna scroll up here because
230
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.679
I know I wrote it down somewhere. Well, thirty four
231
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.879
million over the next two years is the time for
232
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.000
them to just walk away? You know. With Cody Bellinger,
233
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.039
you know gonna offer they're going, yeah, they're they're gonna
234
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.919
need They're gonna need an outfielder. Okay, It's it's as
235
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:11.519
simple as that. Spencer Spencer j Spencer Jones, Cavallero can
236
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.480
play in the outfield Domingus, but by locking their d
237
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:21.000
H slot up with Stanton, it does create a problem
238
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:21.960
it really does.
239
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.159
Well, saw that Judge. Remember when Judge came back and
240
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.039
you know he's right, he couldn't play the outfield, and
241
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.039
you know you were stuck because you're not gonna take
242
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.360
your best player and not playing because you're playing gian
243
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:34.200
Carlos Stan.
244
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:42.440
Yeah, and again it's a problem. I I think personally,
245
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.960
if I were the Yankees, I would address that situation
246
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:49.120
and I would probably pay it off and move on.
247
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.159
Yeah, they're gonna you think do you think they'll give up?
248
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.440
Do you think they give up on Volpie? That's not
249
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.759
my question. I'm gonna ask her. Do you think they'll
250
00:14:57.799 --> 00:14:58.720
give up on Volpi?
251
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.799
I don't think so. He's twenty four years old. I
252
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.720
know he's already got three years and defensively, yeah, there's
253
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.039
been some there's been some problems, But how do you
254
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.159
give up on a twenty four year old with so
255
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:21.360
much and I believe the potential is still there. The bullpen, Yeah,
256
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:25.200
if you got, you got Williams, and you got, you
257
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:27.639
got Weaver, you got you got a whole bunch of names,
258
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.320
and they're the only one that's important really is David Bedner.
259
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:32.720
At least to me, they need to they need to
260
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.120
get some They need to get some lefties in that pen.
261
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:38.039
The only lefty they have is Tim Hill, so they
262
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:43.320
a left handed reliever would definitely help. But again, it's
263
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:47.360
a good it's a good team. They'll be contending again
264
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:52.279
next year, and they should be with a couple of moves. Uh,
265
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:57.600
they should be in a situation where they're a better
266
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.039
team next year, especially pitching. And you know what, I
267
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.600
hear all the rumors. Okay, Murakami's going to the Yankees, Okay,
268
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:09.279
or the Dodgers. Now, if the Yankees signed Marrakami Murrikammy
269
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.600
to a big deal, it would it would be the
270
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.120
equivalent of what they did with g and Carlos Stanton
271
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.720
at seventy years ago. Point. Okay, Murakami can hit the
272
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.960
ball a long way. He has trouble. He has trouble
273
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.600
with high basket balls. Point, he strikes out a lot.
274
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.200
He also walks a lot. He hit the ball a mile,
275
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.960
But defensively, he won't cut it at third base, and
276
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.159
that leaves first base and.
277
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.080
They want to be playing third base. That's a great
278
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.320
defender at third base. And I think once you have
279
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.159
us a full season and in New York, he's gonna
280
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.000
he might hit thirty home runs. He hits the ball
281
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:46.679
really hard.
282
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.080
Mm hmmm. So again all the rumors I hear about Murrakami.
283
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.240
If the Yankees invest in Mirrakami, they've got him, they
284
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.240
got to take care of the contract. And I think
285
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.879
it would be putting them defensively in the same situation
286
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.639
as they are with Stanton, because I think if Stanton's healthy,
287
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:04.160
eating hit.
288
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:08.440
For you ho run sure, Yeah, he's he was healthy
289
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.480
this year, didn't he still wasn't healthy. It's about as
290
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.480
good as he did well.
291
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.079
Yeah, and I think they'd be doing Like I said,
292
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.480
I would be shocked if they invested in Murakami because
293
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.519
I think it would be again putting more dis in
294
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:24.359
the dysfunction.
295
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.880
So I don't think about Americamedy except I love playing
296
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.720
zero point zero when when you say his name, so
297
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.359
thank you for saying it so many times, have you
298
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:41.200
had a good chuckle? So uh yes. Look back to Volty. Look,
299
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.279
I saw him a lot in the minor leagues. I
300
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.440
always thought he'd moved to second base. I'm not surprised
301
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:50.119
about the defensive struggles he's had, and I think he's
302
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.519
just I think he'll be a more effective second basement.
303
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.160
I do worry that he is wearing out his welcome
304
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.160
in New York. I mean, the Yankee fans can be
305
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.200
absolutely brutal, and they they were brutal with that kid
306
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.240
at the end of the season, and he obviously did
307
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.759
not play well. He was really struggling. And unfortunately jad
308
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.440
Chism plays short second base right, and he's not going
309
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:18.119
to move the shortstop. So I almost feel like Volpi
310
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.079
might be a guy without a home, particularly if the
311
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.759
Yankees decide to bring in a big name shortstop. And
312
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.359
we'd have to take a look at the free agent
313
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.079
list to find that out. But I do worry about
314
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.319
the plight of Anthony Volpia, but he would look good
315
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.200
at a lot of other uniforms and I think would
316
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:36.319
play quite well.
317
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.079
Well. And again, depending on what they want to do,
318
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.400
they could move Jazz Chizzer into the Oafield good Night,
319
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.039
that is true, Volpi second base and bring in a shortstop.
320
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.559
I also worry about Jayson Domingos because those those platoon
321
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:54.559
splits are pretty real and playing a championship level team
322
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:56.319
like the Yankees have and you don't get a chance
323
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.599
to fix that. So it'll be interesting to see what
324
00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.920
they do out there as well.
325
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.000
So yeah, no, they've got some decisions to make, but
326
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:09.759
the process of making those decisions, let's hope they make
327
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.920
their team a little more functional. Yeah, I agree with
328
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:17.160
you because it Yeah, it's it's a problem, and it's
329
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.359
one that they should really, they should really address. Ben
330
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.119
Rice should be their first basement for the next five years,
331
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:25.599
five five to seven years.
332
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:28.839
Yeah, that's the signing of Paul Goldsman, who I think retired.
333
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.640
I think then he retired this week.
334
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:34.079
I'm not sure. I didn't guess.
335
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:36.119
Pretty sure. I thought I saw it, but again I
336
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.880
can't tell what's what's real and what's fake on some
337
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.839
of the stuff that's that's coming out there. But you know,
338
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.200
I agree, I mean Ben right, and when it turned
339
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.000
out they should have just given the job that Ben
340
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.839
Rice out of the out of the shoot. But I
341
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.240
get it, he wasn't proven and Paul Goldschmid, it's a
342
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.640
typical Yankee signing. Let me get a guy the end
343
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.279
of his career, the CV has any magic left and
344
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.160
h and then eventually they gave they gave the job
345
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.240
to the right guy in the second half anyway, so
346
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.720
I guess it's no harm done.
347
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.720
There no, no no harm done there. But I again,
348
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:14.720
I they got some decisions to make, and for Yankee
349
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.319
fans out there, let's hope they make the right ones.
350
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:20.400
Okay, well, we spent a lot of time with the Yankees.
351
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:22.960
But that's what you say. I mean, the Yankees are
352
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:29.119
an important, if not the most important baseball franchise this
353
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.319
top three, right, I mean, so you have to talk
354
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.720
about it, but you're up in Canada, so you're probably
355
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.960
getting a lot of the feeds on what's happening with
356
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.200
the Blue Jays. I can't figure out how they're doing this.
357
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:47.039
Well, it's easy. It's it's simple. Everyone from the top
358
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:51.720
to bottom of the lineup is contributing. Defense has been
359
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.920
consistently great at home, not so much on the word
360
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.000
on the road. I think they've got the fourth fewest
361
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:02.039
errors at home. They're one of the worst teams on
362
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:07.359
the road. But again, yeah, it is odd. You know,
363
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:13.279
the bullpen stepped it up and they're playing solid and
364
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.200
getting getting getting getting by. The starting pitching has been
365
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:24.160
extremely good. Uh, and they're playing m mistake free baseball.
366
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:31.640
Define he's he's showing why he's a superstar. That guy
367
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.440
has been absolutely great. I mean, he got off to
368
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.039
a slow start this season but finished up. The numbers
369
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.000
were there, and he's just really stepped it up in
370
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:40.160
the playoffs.
371
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.359
Yeah, he's definitely that team leader. George Springer again, another veteran.
372
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:50.839
You look at Kirk Okay, he's played solid baseball. Guys
373
00:21:50.880 --> 00:22:01.480
like Barger and Ernie Clement and Nathan Lukes.
374
00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.960
Those guys you can't.
375
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:01.279
I mean, that's sure they should.
376
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.960
Okay, they're gonna go. Let's say they make it to
377
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.200
the World Series against the Dodgers, and you look at
378
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.079
that lineup and you're gonna go, Okay, we'll give you
379
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.680
Vlad Junior, and we'll give you George Springer, but you're
380
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:17.079
gonna take every other Dodger, doesn't matter who they're throwing there.
381
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.160
Yeah, and then you watch the Oscars drop one in
382
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.720
the outfield. Okay, And it's become self explandory. If a
383
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:31.160
team can go through the course of a short long
384
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:37.119
haul by a making very few mistakes, not walking people,
385
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.240
the pitching staff, not walking people, not the letting, letting,
386
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.440
teams have to earn it rather than be given away,
387
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.960
and they're gonna be good teams. And the Jays are
388
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:53.039
doing exactly that. They're it's it's it's solid. You're right.
389
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.039
They don't have the big names. They don't have the
390
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.200
guys sitting in six, seven and eight that are are
391
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.759
gonna hit thirty home runs. But they're all contributing and
392
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:09.039
making very few mistakes, and they it works.
393
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.240
Yeah. I mean, I guess name recognition. I guess it
394
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.279
would go Dodgers and there's a huge drop. I guess
395
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.720
is at the Mariners next, I mean with Jay Rod
396
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.440
and cal Riley, and then the pitching staff, and then
397
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.920
it's and then it's debatable who's got the least known team.
398
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.119
I guess it's still the Blue Jays still have the
399
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:35.200
least known players. I would think even there's even slightly
400
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.880
more well known players in Brewer Land, but maybe there's not.
401
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:40.480
I mean, maybe those are just two. You know, how
402
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.720
are they doing that kind of thing?
403
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.839
Yeah? I think the Brewers are well known with people
404
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:52.640
that follow baseball. You know, Contreras and freylic and Bryce's terrang,
405
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.119
But I don't think any of them carry the star
406
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.720
Wars star power of lighting. Okay, that's fair. Yeah, you
407
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:03.680
know any Christian Yelich. Hey, the Brewers have got an
408
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:08.400
exceptionally good team, very really do, like yeah, and guys
409
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:13.279
like ask the average person. Yeah, Luis Arties is playing great,
410
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:16.279
d isn't he? Who's Louise Who? Yeah?
411
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.680
Yeah, I forget about my buddy Jackson. Sure I hit
412
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.960
three eighty nine, So I mean that that guy is.
413
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.839
I still think he's going to be the core of
414
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:26.559
that team, really really good team. Timm, I'll take a
415
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.359
break a second, went a little bit longer. We've only
416
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.839
got three three divisions or three contests to go through,
417
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:35.200
so so we'll get through them all and they get
418
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.119
to our drafting of the third round. Let's take a
419
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:52.440
quick break and be right back. So Tim and I
420
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.200
were talking for the start of the podcast, and I
421
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.359
just told him I had a bit of a writer's block.
422
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:01.440
And it's not that I I don't know what to write.
423
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:03.920
I don't want to write. So I got to get
424
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:06.359
over I got to get over the hump. But we
425
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.960
are our town. We live in a wonderful town here
426
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.920
in New Jersey called Marstown, and they have an annual book
427
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:16.519
festival which attracts some of the best writers around the
428
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:20.119
country or the world. And we had I think Robin Cook,
429
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:24.000
who is a I mean, he's a thriller writer that's
430
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:27.039
written a dozens of books and best sellers and blah
431
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.200
blah blah blah blah. But they had an opening night.
432
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.920
They always have an opening night. And the guy who
433
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:38.200
spoke was a guy named Rick Atkinson. You probably have
434
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:42.799
never heard of him, have you, No, So I had
435
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.960
not either. Rick Atkinson is one of the foremost history
436
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:52.519
writers in the US. He's won three Pulitzer Prizes and
437
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:57.880
he's written the trilogy trilogy on World War Two, and
438
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:02.200
a trilogy now he's working on for the American Revolutionary War.
439
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:05.799
So he talked about the middle of his books and
440
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:07.920
one of the things, and I was thinking about my
441
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.960
writer's block as he was talking. And the guy was wonderful.
442
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:13.759
It was just really informative and I learned a ton
443
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:16.759
And you know, obviously they give you the book as
444
00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:19.759
part of the opening ceremony thing, and so if I
445
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:21.720
can read through all of it, I'll get to it.
446
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:24.359
But he said that he's worked on it for three
447
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:28.640
years and he wrote two hundred and fifty thousand words.
448
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:33.319
He goes, which is crazy, And I'm thinking, Tim, I'm
449
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:35.720
going to write one hundred and fifty thousand words in
450
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:41.359
three months, maybe I'm do a writer's block taking this day.
451
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:42.039
Now.
452
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.880
Granted, the quality of writing is, you know, way off
453
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.680
at the other ends of the scale. I mean, this
454
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:49.599
guy is a professional writer. I'm a hack.
455
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:52.880
But I mean you got to remember, though, that all
456
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:54.799
history writers, that's just old news.
457
00:26:55.440 --> 00:27:00.359
That's true, that's a fair point. But I thought, I'm thinking, gee,
458
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.440
I can, I could do another I should be able
459
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:06.799
to finish this up. So I was trying to get
460
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.039
myself some motivation as I'm listening to it. Yeah, I can.
461
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.319
I can get through this. So anyway, so that.
462
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.680
You know what you do, Richard, the longer you've been
463
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:21.759
doing this, okay, the more your personal archives are built up, right, Okay,
464
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.519
So when you get writer's block, like I was trying
465
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:26.440
to get something done, I was suffering through the same
466
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:28.319
sort of thing. So I went back to an article
467
00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:32.720
that I wrote. Was it fourteen years ago? Hey, you
468
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:35.160
start posting the old stuff that you nailed it on.
469
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:40.119
Okay, nobody will Nobody will know. Nobody know this new
470
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.640
kid coming up, Michael Trout, and it's gonna be really good.
471
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:44.319
Nobody will recognize that.
472
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.400
Yeah, I found an article I wrote and it was
473
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:53.400
the first other than I think it was writer wrote
474
00:27:54.200 --> 00:28:02.240
Writers News Agency. Yeah, yeah, uh yeah, other than them,
475
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:05.599
I think I think I wrote the first article on
476
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:11.720
a role as Chapman in the existence, and I'm gonna
477
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:13.799
I'm gonna throw it up there on the Discord site
478
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:19.759
just for a chuckle. They know they picked up the
479
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:24.680
the fact that he uh skipped down in Holland. Okay,
480
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:28.319
But as far as like fantasy and in the baseball world,
481
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.359
I think I think my article was the first one
482
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.480
that actually looked at Chapman. This is before he even
483
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.400
signed with a team, so it was within a week
484
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:42.200
of him Yeah, it was within a week of him
485
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:46.200
actually walking away in Holland. And I it's it's pretty cool.
486
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.000
I'll send it your way and you can give it
487
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:49.400
a give it a spy.
488
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.920
But that's I'd never remember the Holland connection. Why did
489
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:54.079
he walk away in Holland?
490
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:56.279
They were playing in Holland.
491
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:00.319
Well, the Cuban team is playing in holl And.
492
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:05.480
He got it, okay, Yeah, that's when he defected. Yep,
493
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:10.240
that's when when he defected and he ended up in
494
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:14.160
Central America after that. But it's an interesting thing. I'll
495
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.680
send it your way, you can give it a give
496
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.599
me a critique from what's that sixteen years ago?
497
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:23.359
Wow? Wow? Well my plan is to get back to writing.
498
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:23.880
This week.
499
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.759
I got to write some Damily notes for our Patreon members.
500
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:28.880
I haven't written anything this week, so I'm going to
501
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:32.599
try to do some of the what's happening on the uh,
502
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:34.960
what's happening now on the Arizona Fall League. So I
503
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:38.519
write writer RecA what happened last week and tried to
504
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:41.200
do that this evening. So that's that's my fore way
505
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:42.240
hopey back into it.
506
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:42.519
Yeah.
507
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:44.599
Yeah, So I'll ease my way back into it and
508
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.240
then finish up the Diamond bags. So I got plenty
509
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.480
of content that's going to be out over the next
510
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:51.119
couple of months. So that's part of it. I don't
511
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:54.440
have anything, no pressure on me to get the thing out.
512
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.599
And I'll send you all my old stuff, just change
513
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.519
the name Rich to go.
514
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.799
So the Dodgers defeated the Phillies, and look if you
515
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:07.319
didn't everybody saw a lot of people didn't see the game.
516
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:09.880
But if you missed it, I mean the orient kirkering,
517
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:13.880
I mean it's just just Timmy choked. I mean, I
518
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:16.559
mean just threw the ball to the wrong and happens.
519
00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:18.920
It through to the wrong Even if you didn't throw
520
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.480
it away, he was not going to get the guy
521
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:22.160
running home. He could have gotten the guy at a
522
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.240
first base. He just made a mistake and he choked.
523
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:29.759
And you see that. And we've all choked in our
524
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:32.920
life many many times. We've just never done it in
525
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:37.960
front of millions of people to be rebroadcasted multiple millions
526
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:42.079
of times for everybody to see. It's just it just sucks.
527
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:46.039
And you know, hopefully the Phillies fans won't builder built.
528
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:49.599
Yeah. Bill Buckner will attest to that.
529
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:52.039
Yeah, yeah, it's it's the same.
530
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:58.680
Yeah, Yeah, But you know, I like to I'd like
531
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:00.839
to see from that is the first thing. As soon
532
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.519
as he came off the field, the manager pulled him aside, Yeah,
533
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.480
and gave him a hug. And you know, hey, we're
534
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:13.480
all human beings. We make errors, we make mistakes. He's
535
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:16.599
gonna take his lumps in the media forever and ever.
536
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:20.759
But at the same point in time, should that define
537
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:24.480
him as an individual? No, it shouldn't. He made a mistake.
538
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:28.720
We move on, yep, Yeah, for sure. And it was
539
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:30.920
a shame. I mean, I I mean, all of these
540
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.119
series were great probably. The Blue Jays pretty much blew
541
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:36.759
out the Yankees. I mean at least three out of
542
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:38.799
the four games they blow them out. But I thought
543
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:43.240
the Dodger in Phillies was a great series. It really
544
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.359
could have gone either way. And I still like the
545
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:49.880
Phillies team a lot. The Dodgers are flat out clicking.
546
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.240
Sasaki now is the closer. We talked about that last week.
547
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:56.200
I mean, the Dodgers looked really really good. I mean,
548
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:58.319
the Brewers are going to have their hands toul.
549
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.920
Yeah they are, you know, and with the Saki now
550
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:07.039
in the ninth inning, that bullpen is stabilized, and that's
551
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.680
something that was needed badly. Uh you know what I mean.
552
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:13.680
You look at the Dodgers release that that that shot
553
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:16.960
that Schwarmer hits, has that has that landed yet? Like
554
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:21.039
that's incredibly wrong. Yeah yeah, the roof of the pavilion
555
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.160
or whatever, and you know, like he hit that thing
556
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:28.519
a mile. But again, Dodgers are Dodgers are a tough team,
557
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:33.400
and if they have addressed with the Zaki that bullpen problem,
558
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:35.759
that makes them even stronger.
559
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:40.640
I mean that could have been the missing link. If
560
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:44.400
if he is an effective closer for these for this
561
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:47.599
a NLCS and then in a World Series, they're gonna
562
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:51.240
be tough to him. They're gonna be really, really good.
563
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:53.359
They are. But I am rooting for the Brewers.
564
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:56.000
You know. Look, I'm rooting for the Brewers as well.
565
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:59.480
No disrespect to the Dodgers and all the Dodgers fans,
566
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:02.480
but I'm I'm rooting for the Brewers because I love
567
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.279
the I mean, I when I have no true rooting interests,
568
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:06.720
I want to root for the underdog.
569
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:09.160
So I'm not sure I'm the same.
570
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:11.359
I'm not sure how I'm rooting for the American like
571
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:16.480
you're probably rooting for your your home country. Uh I,
572
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:19.599
I don't know either one. I'm not so sure I've
573
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:20.960
got a dog in that fight.
574
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:26.720
Yeah, it's a rule I have to I have to root. Okay,
575
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:29.680
it's yeah, it's it's relatively simple. But you know what,
576
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:33.240
the Mariners. I like their team, I really do. Uh.
577
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:36.480
I like that pitching. And we said, uh heading into
578
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:41.640
this play you know, into the playoffs, if the Mariners starting, yeah, hey,
579
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.599
that's a team to fear because of that starting pitching, right,
580
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:49.200
And I think the team should be a little bit
581
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:53.359
of feared. Maybe not for the first game or two, okay,
582
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.359
but after after that, the Mariners have got a lot
583
00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:59.480
of arms. They can throw all that very good arms.
584
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:02.400
Mariner's defeat the Tigers three to two, that was a
585
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:05.440
series that I mean you either one of those teams
586
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:08.719
could have won. I mean, Scooble pitched great, and the
587
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:13.599
fifth and deciding game, Kirby pitched well. It just I mean,
588
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:15.480
it was a shame that somebody had to lose. But
589
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:20.920
eventually the Mariners did win. And again we already talked
590
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.280
about the fifteen inning style game. You and I are
591
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:24.880
both thumbs up on that.
592
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:29.320
Yeah, and you know what was fascinating was that scooball,
593
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.400
as great as he pitched, he can get a w
594
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:31.840
did he?
595
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:36.480
Nope, he didn't. That's because I mean, look at that
596
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:39.960
lineup for the the Tigers. I mean it's just we
597
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:42.079
talked about this last week. I'll repeat ourselves. It's just
598
00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.960
not good enough to that Tigers lineup needs more bats
599
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:49.480
in there. I think you're going to see these young kids,
600
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:53.360
particularly McGonagall come up early, followed by Clark, fall Abray
601
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:55.239
brus O. I think it's going to be a different
602
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.639
team by the time the playoffs start next season. I
603
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.239
think it's going to be team and transition. But they
604
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:03.599
got to bring up these guys. They got to move
605
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:06.960
on from Javier Baiaz and Tray Sweeney, and these guys
606
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:07.719
aren't good enough.
607
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:10.800
Yeah, And I think the bullpen. I was sort of
608
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.519
on a fence with regards to will West heading into
609
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:17.400
twenty twenty six, but I think he proved his value
610
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:19.599
in the playoffs, and I think will Vest will be
611
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:24.400
the closer heading into twenty twenty six in Detroit. The
612
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:28.559
bullpen will be fine. They need another starter, but they'll
613
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:32.800
find one. I think Detroit has to be it has
614
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:35.360
to be the favorite in the in the Central if
615
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:38.039
we picked one today, at least my favorite.
616
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.920
I think you're right, and look it's I agree. I'm
617
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:44.920
hoping that you're right with will Vest. I have no
618
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:47.599
idea if you're right. But because I haven't been you
619
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:49.679
and I both talked. We've got a a lot of
620
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:53.119
dynasty leagues, So I don't know if I'm wishful thinking
621
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:56.360
here or if it's getting in the way of my analysis.
622
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.440
But I haven't really analyzed it. I know he was
623
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:02.519
he was closing over fin again in the playoffs. If
624
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:03.599
that means anything.
625
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.519
Yeah, I think it does, and he pitched well, So
626
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:11.400
I would have to think, you know, if the Tigers
627
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.159
are going to spend spend money to their benefit, I
628
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.559
don't think it should be in the bullpen. And I
629
00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:20.559
think Best proof that that he can handle it not
630
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.159
on a not only on an every day basis, but
631
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.920
also in the big games. Okay, uh, he looks solid,
632
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:29.719
So I'm all in on Best. I think the Tiger's
633
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.239
gotta find themselves a starting pitcher somewhere, yep.
634
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:34.760
I mean, I think if you've got if you got
635
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:36.760
a healthy school, well you're never going to be out
636
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:38.679
of it. I mean because he's always going to be
637
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:42.079
able to give you a quality start every five games
638
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:44.519
of the chance to win. And that's that's gonna happen
639
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:46.119
through the regular season, and he throw them in the
640
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:48.000
playoffs and you have a chance to win.
641
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.840
Yeah, and Detroit next year is an important year because
642
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.440
I believe Scooble's heading into free agency the year after.
643
00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:58.119
So next year is that? Really?
644
00:36:59.239 --> 00:36:59.519
Wow?
645
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:03.400
I can I can double I can double check that
646
00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:05.360
right now with my hyper speed.
647
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:10.840
When is Trek Scooble contrag free agent.
648
00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:15.599
Spotec? Where are we.
649
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:17.960
After the twenty twenty sixth season?
650
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:23.320
Yeah, this is their year. They need a starting pitcher.
651
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.480
Yeah. Yeah, because he's a bar As client. So the
652
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:35.159
question is, you know, look, I mean, if they're struggling
653
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:38.239
in the middle of the season, he's probably gone at
654
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:38.880
the deadline.
655
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.039
So yeah, I'm I'm looking at his career earnings of
656
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:47.119
twenty seven million, two hundred and fourteen dollars and six
657
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:51.280
hundred and fifty six twenty seven to it, he will
658
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:56.440
learn more in arbitration next year than his career earnings.
659
00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:58.400
I don't know what a backup because he's gonna win
660
00:37:58.480 --> 00:37:59.280
the side young guy.
661
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:03.639
By the way, we have not yet thirty million million,
662
00:38:03.719 --> 00:38:04.280
thirty mili.
663
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:09.039
Yeah, I mean I usually, oh it's MLB Trade Rumors
664
00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:11.679
does a really good job at figuring out what these
665
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:13.519
guys are going to get in free agencies. Will have
666
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:16.679
to earn out free agencies, excuse me, arbitration, and we'll
667
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:20.239
see what they're saying. But we haven't done a segment
668
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.920
at all on on who's gonna win the cy young
669
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:28.800
and MVPs to me because there's not much to say.
670
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:30.199
I mean, we know who's gonna win.
671
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:35.079
Yeah, I was gonna say the Yeah, the the interesting
672
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.400
the interesting thing will be Cal Riley and Aaron Judge.
673
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:42.199
Yeah, it's gonna be Judge. What's your next question? I mean,
674
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:45.440
he's gonna get some support, but Judge is gonna win Judges.
675
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:51.519
Judge is the best offensive, but Judges, I mean everything else,
676
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:54.000
Judge was better than he was.
677
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.719
So I mean it's well's not not a throwing runners
678
00:38:57.719 --> 00:38:58.760
over the second.
679
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:02.800
That's true, that's true. I mean the Judge was ridiculous.
680
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:04.719
I mean, how many homers of Judge have I mean,
681
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:08.519
it wasn't that that short of sixty, but if you
682
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:10.639
take a look at the on base percentage, the batting
683
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:12.920
average was crazy. I mean it's just he's just a
684
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:15.880
better player than Kyle Riley. Sorry, Kyle Riley, You're not
685
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.159
going to win. It's going to be Aaron Judge. So
686
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:18.840
it's Judging.
687
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:24.320
I'll go sneaking liquor on just just because.
688
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:25.239
I'm not going to take you. I'm not going to
689
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:28.440
take your your food out of your mouth. So it's
690
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:34.239
going to be Judge, and it's going to be a
691
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:36.920
Tani and Judge is going to be Scooble and Skians.
692
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.360
It's going to be Kurtz and maybe the only thing
693
00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:42.840
is who's going to win the National League Rookie of
694
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:47.199
the Year. It's either the catcher from Atlanta or the
695
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:51.719
picture or or Baldwin or or not boy the kid
696
00:39:51.760 --> 00:40:00.360
out of Chicago. Yes, exactly, not Ethan, but yes, uh yeah, Wharton,
697
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:03.599
Kate Horton.
698
00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:06.400
Yeah, sorry, So.
699
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:11.079
It's either one. Otherwise there's really nothing to talk about.
700
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:13.679
I mean that that's no. There is no and it's
701
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.880
they'll just leave the ten things rolling. Okay. Anyway, the
702
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:21.119
Cubs and Brewers last night, great game. Three home runs
703
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:23.280
by the Brewers and it was done. And I mean
704
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:26.159
Bryce Terring, what can you say, Tim.
705
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:33.199
Yeah, yeah, you can't. You can't say a lot, David. Yeah,
706
00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:38.559
it was the Brewers. The Brewers shut him down. And
707
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:41.960
what I thought was interesting is they brought in McGill
708
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.239
to start the game. The Brewers did their ninth inning,
709
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:49.719
guy went healthy, and they had Abner Uibay go two
710
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:54.199
innings at the end. I'm keeping Abner your eBay in
711
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:57.920
the XFL draft that's coming. I've got him at six
712
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:02.400
bucks and i I'm being Abner u Reba over Jose Ferrara,
713
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:03.159
believe it or not.
714
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:06.199
Oh my buddy, Jose Ferrera, come on.
715
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:12.159
Yeah, how Cay almost one hundred stray oats. McGill has
716
00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:15.440
never stayed healthy. Improved it again this year. I like
717
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:18.679
your reba a lot moving forward, and I wouldn't be
718
00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:23.280
surprised to see him garner next year at least ten
719
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:27.639
to fifteen, possibly more saves. So I'm all in on Abnue.
720
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:28.199
You rebate.
721
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:33.119
So one of my baseballs of on breakdowns. This was
722
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:37.519
before Bryce Terrang was a name. Bryce Terrang, twenty ninth,
723
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:39.880
twenty twenty four.
724
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:41.719
This is what I wrote. That's going back.
725
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.360
Yeah, that was two It was two seasons ago, right, yeah, yeah,
726
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:46.960
all right, So I'll reach you what I wrote A
727
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:50.880
lot to like exclamation part exclamation marks fast, ninety fifth
728
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:54.320
percent on very successful at ceiling base, at the ceiling
729
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:57.280
base thing nineteen of twenty candidly should be able to
730
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.280
seal on many bases as they led him thirty to
731
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:01.360
fifty annually, and he sold how many last.
732
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:04.119
Season a few.
733
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:07.599
He's improved his contact rate and walks above league average,
734
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:09.880
and both have a chance improved as he's only twenty four.
735
00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:12.400
The high on base percentage will help his sole in
736
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:14.960
based totals as well. It's a recipe for a three
737
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.760
hundred hitter I'll dial that down a bit just because
738
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.000
of his poor bat speed. That's his only problem. He
739
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:22.960
doesn't have great bat speed. He does make the most
740
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:25.519
of it, though, as he square up rate is high.
741
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:27.800
Therefore I can I think I can count on at
742
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.280
least fifteen ten to fifteen home runs. Combine that with
743
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:32.480
a two eighty to three hundred bating average, seventy points
744
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:35.360
more for on base percentage, and thirty to forty maybe
745
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.800
more stolen bases. That's an elite player with dare I
746
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:41.079
say low risk so that I was all in on
747
00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:44.920
Bryce Terrang when I wrote about him, and somewhat's played out.
748
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.679
Well, yeah, if you take over at the twenty three, okay,
749
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:52.920
he stole twenty six bases. In twenty four he stole fifty.
750
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:56.079
Last year he stole twenty four. The difference between twenty
751
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:59.360
four and twenty five were is let him run? Okay?
752
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:00.199
It was.
753
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:02.639
It was as simple as that. And when you moved
754
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:08.440
to twenty five, his home runs up from seven to eighteen. Yeah,
755
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:13.199
obp moved to three point fifty nine from two eighty
756
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:16.840
five three sixteen, scored almost one hundred runs. Brice Dray
757
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:19.400
is a very very good base Paller and you know
758
00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:23.760
who I think could post not as high a stolen
759
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:26.079
base total, but I think the power and everything is
760
00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:29.320
self Freylek. I think he's almost the same player, good
761
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:35.440
on base skills, steal some bases, fifteen to twenty home runs.
762
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:41.559
Terrang and Freylik are our key cogs in the Brewers offense.
763
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:42.920
They really are both.
764
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:46.760
Very good players. Okay, Timmy, let's break it down. Alcs good.
765
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:52.199
We got the Blue Jays and the and the Mariners.
766
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:56.400
Who wins and how many.
767
00:43:56.519 --> 00:44:02.480
The blue Jays in seven?
768
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:05.199
I'm gonna go.
769
00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:08.239
I think one of ye. I think one of the
770
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:12.760
problems with the Mariners are gonna have is in the
771
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:16.679
first two games to get through to get by Detroit,
772
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:22.880
they threw everything Adam including including their entire starting rotation,
773
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:28.719
and the bullpen has been worked very, very hard. I
774
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:31.239
think the Jays have a distinct advantage in those first
775
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:34.039
two games, and if they don't take advantage of it,
776
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:35.880
Seattle's gonna win that series.
777
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:41.159
Yeah, I'm going with the Mariners. I'm gonna go to
778
00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:43.920
the Mariners and six. I just think that pitching is
779
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.400
too strong. I do agree with TAM's caveat in fact
780
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:48.679
that was one of the things we didn't really get
781
00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:53.440
into that. Kirby went five innings, Gilbert two innings, and
782
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:55.599
then in the third with Castile, So I mean that
783
00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:58.679
was the last games they used some guys Tommy and
784
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:00.920
fifteen innings will take it out of you. So and
785
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:03.599
at the end of a season to boot.
786
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:09.239
Well, yeah, they're going with Bryce Miller. Okay, in Game one.
787
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:13.880
He threw fifty five pitches last Wednesday, so they're moving
788
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:16.280
him up a day. But he wasn't really worked all
789
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:18.760
that hard on the Wednesday. Now I think he's coming
790
00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:23.159
off an injury as well, so they've got to get
791
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:28.719
in that in that first game. They got to get
792
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:31.280
six innings oead of Bryce Miller or it'll be a
793
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:34.760
problem because there's nothing left in the bullpen, and then
794
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.840
from there you're moving. I think it's Gilbert up. He
795
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:42.239
pitched Friday, He'll be pitching on the Monday again on
796
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.960
short rest. So it's those first two games are key
797
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:52.679
for me. If the Jays don't win those first two games,
798
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:54.320
I think it puts them in a bit of a bind.
799
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:59.280
I think they're going to burn Bryce Miller. To me,
800
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:01.960
he's he's gonna have They're just gonna he could give
801
00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:04.199
up fifteen runs and they're gonna keep him out there.
802
00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:06.440
It's just gonna be he's gonna take one for the
803
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:08.440
team because because they got to think of the thing
804
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:12.320
as a seven game series and not worry about trying
805
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.599
to win game one. Everybody's tired. They need an extra
806
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:19.639
day to rest everybody. Now they're they're playing tonight.
807
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:23.039
Right, They're playing tonight. Yeah. If I was, if I
808
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:25.559
was a Mariner's rich, what I would do is I
809
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:27.840
would go in with Miller tonight. If they can find
810
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:30.719
a way to get a victory tonight, then what I
811
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:33.960
would do is I would take Gilbert and move him
812
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:36.079
to Game three and go with a bullpen.
813
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:36.840
Yep.
814
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:40.920
Totally agree in game two, give the rest.
815
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:43.679
YEP. So I think the night's game is very important
816
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:45.840
with the marriage. I just think the Mariners, I mean,
817
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.880
I think the Mariners are a better team. I just
818
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.960
at some point, I just don't understand how the Blue
819
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:56.559
Jays are doing this. Blad Junior is a great, great player.
820
00:46:57.239 --> 00:46:59.760
I don't get how they're doing it. So I'm gonna
821
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:01.519
go with the better team and the Mariners. Who do
822
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:06.840
you have in the in the in the National League. Uh,
823
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:10.199
you got to stick with your Brewers and the Brewers
824
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:11.840
and the j still right.
825
00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:14.639
So yeah, I've been I've been running. I've been. I've
826
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:17.079
been running them since the beginning of the playoffs. If
827
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:22.440
I'm not mistaken, Yeah, yeah, I I'm gonna go with
828
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:28.679
the Brewers. Uh. I think the bullpens actually show up paper. Actually,
829
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:30.920
I was looking on Twitter and I can't remember. There's
830
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.079
a couple of sites that actually ran and ran numbers
831
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:39.960
and projections and whatever, and they're they're saying statistically, the
832
00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:43.480
Brewers have a slight edge over the Dodgers, which I
833
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:46.800
sort of found surprising. It's kind of be defense making
834
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:50.079
the difference would be, my guess, defense and the and
835
00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:53.599
the bullpen. But uh, I think the Brewers can do it.
836
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:55.760
I'd love to see it happen. I really would.
837
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.960
My heart is for the Brewers. I'm rooting for the Brewers.
838
00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:00.920
I think the Dodgers going to win, and I think
839
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:03.239
they'll win fairly decisively, so I think it'll be in
840
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:06.760
five or six games that they'll win. I just think
841
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:09.800
the Dodgers are great. I think the only team that
842
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:14.159
can stop the Dodgers are the Mariners. With that great pitching.
843
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:19.320
So yeah, the definite, definitely. I I if I were
844
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.280
the Dodgers and they win this series, I would want
845
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.679
to go up against the J's, I think as compared
846
00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:28.239
to the Mariners. Yep, that starting pitching is really good.
847
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:32.599
And let's face it, starting pitching, they'll win you games,
848
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:33.559
right and.
849
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:35.920
Indeed it will to me to take a break and
850
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:37.719
get back. And we're going to draft the third round.
851
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:55.280
Everyone a little long in those first two segments, but
852
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:56.760
a lot of fun to cover.
853
00:48:56.840 --> 00:49:01.079
Ryan, I agree, Okay.
854
00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:03.280
Go ahead. Sorry I thought you were done talking.
855
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:06.719
Yeah, no, I just I just had a quick question
856
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:09.760
for you. When we're drafting this third round, should we
857
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:13.320
take be taking into account the players drafted in the
858
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:16.920
first two and draft accordingly, or just draft the best
859
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:18.280
player and just say the heck with it?
860
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:22.119
What do you mean, well, like.
861
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:30.920
For instance, that Otani went first, right, Yeah, Kate el
862
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:35.920
Marte is the second pick to go with Otani. So
863
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:39.079
should we should we waited? Like there's teams that don't
864
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:42.599
have any pitching. Should we be putting pitching in there
865
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:44.719
to draft it as if we were drafting teams or
866
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:46.840
just drafting best players?
867
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:47.960
What do you think?
868
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:52.000
I sort of like the idea of trying to map
869
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:55.639
because it does come into play. Okay, if somebody has
870
00:49:55.679 --> 00:49:58.199
got right now two bats, odds are pretty good, they're
871
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:04.239
gonna look at pitching right possibly, Yeah, it just it's
872
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:05.159
more work.
873
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:08.679
But uh, okay, why don't we just see how it
874
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:12.119
plays out? I think that would be fun to figure out.
875
00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:14.800
But for our listeners, just to remind you what I'm
876
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:17.159
gonna do the first round. In the second round, Tim
877
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:19.679
goes show, Heyo Tani One, I went Aaron, Judge too
878
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:25.360
than One, Soto, Bobby Witt, Junior, Jose Ramirez, Juliuro Rodriguez.
879
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:27.639
Tim tried to draft him in the second round everybody,
880
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:32.079
but he was already on my team. Eli, Edla Cruz, Francisco,
881
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:36.960
Lindor Corbyn, Carrol Trek, Scouble, Fernando Tatist, Junior, Kyle Schwarberg,
882
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:41.079
Gunner Henderson, Kyle Tucker, Paul Skins, Kyle Tucker now saying
883
00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:45.239
we'll see, maybe I won't re sign with the Cubs. Jimmy.
884
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:48.000
So he's gonna go to free agency and somebody's gonna
885
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:51.239
pay him a gazillion dollars.
886
00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:56.320
And then some and then's the second round.
887
00:50:56.440 --> 00:51:01.840
Jackson Churio junior, Cameronaro, Garrett Crochet, Jazz Chisholm, Ronald Acunie
888
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:10.360
of lad junior, Yamamoto, Pete Alonzo zero zero. I don't die.
889
00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:13.320
I don't say that. I meant Yamamoto anymore, nor probably
890
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:17.360
getting closest to Sockey anymore. Pete Alonzo at eight, James
891
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:22.000
Wood at nine, Kyle Riley at ten, Hunter Brown, Freddie Peralta,
892
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:27.079
then Zach Nito at thirteen, Nick Kurtz at fourteen, Katel
893
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:31.480
Marte at number fifteen. Timmy, you were on the clock.
894
00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:41.159
I am on the clock. Oh okay, I am. I
895
00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:42.360
am going to go.
896
00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:46.159
To Tim just so you know. Showy tani One also
897
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:48.960
on his team as Freddy Parolta. Fright, Nope, I'm sorry,
898
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:50.159
katel Marte.
899
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:53.239
So you got two hitters, Yeah, I get, we get
900
00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:56.280
we get two big bats, and I'm gonna I'm gonna
901
00:51:56.280 --> 00:52:00.000
cover off the first base position and I'm going to
902
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:04.519
go with the thirty fifth first pick. I'm gonna go
903
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:08.599
with Refuel dude divers at first base because he qualifies.
904
00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:13.880
Yeah, I'm a little surprised that he lasted to the third.
905
00:52:13.920 --> 00:52:17.480
Maybe I'm not. It seems like there's bad mojo going
906
00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:18.960
on with him in San Francisco.
907
00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:25.320
Yeah, but you look at the numbers and you know
908
00:52:25.400 --> 00:52:28.079
he's thirty. He's a thirty one hundred player qualifies at
909
00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:32.480
first base. Yeah, I'll I'll take the numbers and hope
910
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:33.880
there isn't a total meltdown.
911
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:36.280
Yeah, I had him. I had him in my next group, So,
912
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:39.039
I mean, I I did it. And but it's was
913
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:41.119
it twenty seven home run? Is that what you said?
914
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:42.320
I think that's what I saw.
915
00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:46.519
Yeah, I can't remember what he I believe he bested
916
00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:49.880
one hundred RBIs Yeah, okay.
917
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:52.159
He still hit like two eighty seven. I mean everything
918
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:52.639
was there.
919
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:56.679
Yeah, he doesn't qualify at third base anymore. He had
920
00:52:56.719 --> 00:52:58.639
thirty five home runs last year with one hundred and
921
00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:04.880
nine rbiyes nine nine runs scored. It's big numbers.
922
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:09.440
Yeah, yeah, for sure. I just, uh, you bring up this,
923
00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:19.960
bring up the Fantasy Baseball player player raider at Fangrafts,
924
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.320
so I can see what they've got Devers. They got
925
00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:27.800
him at twenty nine. Yes, thirty five home runs, yeah,
926
00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:31.480
two fifty two and if you figured the horrible start
927
00:53:31.519 --> 00:53:34.559
to the season and he wound up still still great.
928
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:38.320
So I'm on the clock. Let's see who who we've
929
00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:43.039
got drafted at two was Aaron Judge and then uh
930
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:47.960
Nick Kurtz, So I got boppers, So I need speed.
931
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:49.440
You need speed.
932
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:51.039
I'm going Trey Turner.
933
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:54.840
Okay, and a fine pick it is.
934
00:53:56.039 --> 00:53:59.239
Yeah, you forget to Turner's still at thirty five stolen bases, right,
935
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.679
so he's still a really good player and did miss time?
936
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:07.239
Yeah, exactly. Trey Turner is a fine pick when you
937
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:10.840
get into the third round. Traditionally he was sitting as
938
00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:14.559
an early second round pick. So it's yeah, maybe you're
939
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:20.039
you're you're sliding a bit, but not It's not anything
940
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:21.519
or shattering, is it?
941
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:28.960
Fifteen home runs, thirty six stolen bases, ninety four run scored, Yeah,
942
00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:31.800
sixty nine sixty nine RB eys. That's not great. But
943
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:35.719
otherwise he was rate at sixteenth player on the list here.
944
00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:40.000
So yeah, a lot the likes still with Trey Turner.
945
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:42.079
But so am I doing it right? Timmy, I'm matching
946
00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:43.480
it with the players that were drafted.
947
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:48.760
Yeah, what's interesting is you drafted one and I drafted one.
948
00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:56.960
Okay, I don't even understand that. So okay, all right,
949
00:54:57.079 --> 00:54:58.679
Tim is on the clock.
950
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:03.960
Yeah, Tim is, Tim is looking at a couple of
951
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:09.840
players that he really likes, and I gotta I gotta
952
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:12.320
go with an oatfielder here and there are there are,
953
00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:18.039
there are some choices I really like, but I'm gonna
954
00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:20.639
I'm gonna go with Wyatt Langford.
955
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:26.000
Yeah, he is on my list too, of the Rangers. Yep.
956
00:55:26.079 --> 00:55:27.840
I mean that's a great pick. I mean speed and
957
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:31.559
power hurt a little bit last last season, but still
958
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:36.519
a very good player. Yeah. You know, it went really
959
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:38.400
quick to Trey Turner. I wonder if I should have
960
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:42.800
gone PCA there to match PCA up with all that
961
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:43.440
power I.
962
00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:50.239
Had, Yeah, or or maybe even Langford. Yeah, because Langford
963
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:52.440
I think it is twenty five twenty five plus stolen
964
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:53.960
based guy, isn't he He.
965
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:55.920
Was twenty two last season?
966
00:55:56.760 --> 00:56:01.440
Yeah, it's yeah. Or you know a guy that's gonna
967
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:03.599
fall a little bit further than you probably should. Randy
968
00:56:03.719 --> 00:56:05.199
Rose arena also fits into that.
969
00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:07.679
I thought you packed Randy Rose Arena.
970
00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:16.519
No, I don't believe so. No, okay, but there are
971
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:20.000
there are power, speed guys there, and I'm pushing Pete
972
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:21.360
crow Armstrong down a bit.
973
00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:22.280
I am too.
974
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:28.239
I know he had a great year, but that plate discipline,
975
00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:32.519
it still needs some work, okay, And who would you
976
00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:35.519
rather own next year, Pete Crow Armstrong or Bryce Terank.
977
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:43.360
Yeah, that's a really good question, you know, I can't
978
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:48.480
get out of my head, Aaron Judge coatel Marte. And
979
00:56:48.480 --> 00:56:51.639
then matching that with forty stolen base what we know
980
00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:56.199
with PCAs he's gonna steal bases, Yes he is. I
981
00:56:56.199 --> 00:56:58.400
think that the home run pop as I've always thought
982
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.480
is more fifteen to twenty and whatever crazy numbers he
983
00:57:01.519 --> 00:57:04.280
did this season, you're right. I mean on an on
984
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:09.800
base percentage league, it's tough. Uh and and even batting average.
985
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:12.239
I mean it just you know, he just never walks
986
00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:15.159
and there's a lot of strikeouts. So you worry is
987
00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:17.440
you know, he got dropped in the lineup, which is
988
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:22.559
gonna hurt his stolen bases? Does he become I mean
989
00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:25.159
there would you be totally shocked if he's in the
990
00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:27.199
minor leagues next season, if he gets off to a
991
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:29.480
slow start. I mean it's possible.
992
00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:34.440
I would be shocked simply because his defense makes all
993
00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:37.440
the difference in the world, that's true. But yeah, with
994
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:40.639
the defense, I would say if he wasn't all world
995
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:43.960
with the glove in the oat field, yeah, I could,
996
00:57:44.119 --> 00:57:46.599
I could see it, but he is so I I
997
00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:50.239
don't think. I don't think that'll be occurring, but I
998
00:57:50.599 --> 00:57:54.000
think I have. I have a hard time betting on
999
00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:56.320
much more than two forty for a batting average.
1000
00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:02.639
Uh, it's it's a let's go back to White langfort
1001
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:07.320
eighty eight percent tile and speed, hits the ball really hard.
1002
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:10.360
Everything's to the pool side, so he's definitely stepping in
1003
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:13.280
the bucket to hit home run pop. Her run power
1004
00:58:13.559 --> 00:58:16.559
does have good launch, Timmy, it's a total growth stock there.
1005
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:19.679
I like that pick better than I do Trey Turner.
1006
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:22.559
I wish I would have grabbed Wyatt langfort there. I
1007
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:25.800
think he's the better player. So let's let's look at
1008
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:28.639
crow Armstrong again. I know we talked about him a ton,
1009
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:33.639
Just to take a look at that walk rate, fourth percentile,
1010
00:58:33.960 --> 00:58:37.039
strikeout rate thirty third percentile. So this is a guy
1011
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:40.480
that just does not walk, Timmy, his on base percentage
1012
00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:43.159
was too eighty seven, and you say, well, that's a
1013
00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:46.360
that's an anomaly. His on base percentage in twenty twenty
1014
00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:48.159
four was to eighty six.
1015
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:54.440
This was last time he posted. Last time he posted
1016
00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:58.840
an OBP over three hundred was in one hundred and
1017
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:03.920
forty at Batch Triple A in twenty twenty three. Okay,
1018
00:59:03.960 --> 00:59:08.239
once he got once he got through twenty twenty three,
1019
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:14.599
his first five part seasons in the minors Oba five,
1020
00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:19.119
sixty three, four, thirty eight, three thirty three, seventy one,
1021
00:59:19.239 --> 00:59:23.079
three point fifty. Now let's move ahead to twenty four
1022
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:28.239
and twenty five to eighty six to eighty seven. Who
1023
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:33.360
is Pete grow Armstrong. He proved he could get on base, okay,
1024
00:59:33.519 --> 00:59:41.000
at the at the lower levels, but since since Triple
1025
00:59:41.079 --> 00:59:44.519
A in twenty twenty four, before he got the call,
1026
00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:50.000
it's I don't I don't think he watchs enough and
1027
00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:51.559
I think it's going to be a problem.
1028
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:54.360
So when I did the analysis on Pete grow armsuck
1029
00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:59.239
early last early this season, I was danger Will Robinson,
1030
00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:02.800
I hold everybody, I just this was going to fall apart.
1031
01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:05.119
And it did. It did fall apart. In the second
1032
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:09.239
half he went up in tremendous stats thirty one thirty five.
1033
01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:14.519
But besides more launching his swing, it is the identical
1034
01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:23.280
profile of Rafael of Rafaela Boston Kids, Saddan Rafaela.
1035
01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:24.280
It's the same guy.
1036
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:28.920
If you'd statistically look at the underlying stat great defender,
1037
01:00:29.239 --> 01:00:35.840
great speed, terrible walk rate, decent contact rate, average exit
1038
01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:38.320
a lote. I mean they're almost matching up one for one.
1039
01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:45.199
So my thought pro was process is either Saydan Rafaela
1040
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:49.760
was underperforming or peekrow Armstrong was way overperforming. And guess
1041
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:53.079
what it was both true because because Sadan Raffaela came
1042
01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:56.079
up last season and then Pete grow Armstrong came down,
1043
01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:58.679
I think you're looking at you know, if you want
1044
01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:02.480
Pete Crow Armstrong, wait for Saydan raphael and get him
1045
01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:05.559
five five rounds later. I think it's a very similar
1046
01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:06.679
long term.
1047
01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:11.719
Guy, Yeah, I won't. I'll have peak pro Armstrong on
1048
01:01:11.719 --> 01:01:15.119
one of my teams next year, and it's a keeper, okay,
1049
01:01:15.159 --> 01:01:18.159
And yeah, I have to keep him at the price
1050
01:01:18.800 --> 01:01:21.119
because even if all he does is steel thirty five
1051
01:01:21.199 --> 01:01:24.599
bases next year, it would still turn a profit because
1052
01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:26.639
it's the day I've got him for like five bucks,
1053
01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:30.000
six bucks something like that. So I'll be keeping him there.
1054
01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:32.000
But other than that, in any re draft leagues, I
1055
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:34.239
won't have peak pro Armstrong in any of my teams
1056
01:01:34.280 --> 01:01:38.639
next year. I most of them are OBP formats. I know,
1057
01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:40.960
I don't know. I just don't want it.
1058
01:01:42.519 --> 01:01:45.599
Okay, I'm picking. I'm on the clock Bobby with Jr.
1059
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:50.280
With number four. I also grabbed a pitcher or Tim
1060
01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:52.800
grabbed the picture for me with Freddy peroul to thank you, Tim.
1061
01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:55.760
Uh So that puts me on the clock with a
1062
01:01:55.800 --> 01:01:59.639
picture and a power speed guy. So I can go
1063
01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:01.599
on a lot of different directions here.
1064
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:06.079
I'm going, Yeah, you've got you got wit and jazz Chisholm.
1065
01:02:06.119 --> 01:02:10.719
You don't have a bitcher there. I thought, Oh no, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,
1066
01:02:11.199 --> 01:02:15.960
Freddy Peralta, yes you do. Sorry, that's okay, bad Jim.
1067
01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:20.039
Yeah, I four and four. You got to read backwards too.
1068
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:24.119
But I'm not dyslexic.
1069
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:30.280
I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to go
1070
01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:33.320
and I don't think Bryce Harper has been taking yet,
1071
01:02:33.360 --> 01:02:34.599
so I'm going to go Bryce Harper.
1072
01:02:35.800 --> 01:02:40.320
Yeah, yeah, he hasn't. He hasn't been ticked picked.
1073
01:02:41.079 --> 01:02:44.039
And I think it's a great compliment to those two players.
1074
01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:45.800
So if I can get out of the first three
1075
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.480
three rounds with an elite pitcher in Freddy Peralta, all
1076
01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:52.800
world and Bobby went come back with a thirty home
1077
01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:55.320
run guy, that's going to steal some basses. I'm pretty
1078
01:02:55.400 --> 01:02:57.920
darn excited at first base, and we all know first
1079
01:02:57.960 --> 01:02:59.440
base as shallow. I kind of like.
1080
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:02.840
That, Yeah, I kind of like it. I kind of
1081
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:05.039
like it as well, and it makes my decision for
1082
01:03:05.119 --> 01:03:06.239
my next bit real easy.
1083
01:03:06.800 --> 01:03:09.480
Well, let's take a quick break and uh, let's see
1084
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:24.039
what to Tim is going to pick. Kind of gets
1085
01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:26.400
the choices starting here today for want to do a
1086
01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:29.639
real draft, doesn't it does.
1087
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:32.400
I'm gonna wait until the playoffs are over, and then
1088
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:34.960
I'm gonna probably spend a couple hundred bucks on an
1089
01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:39.159
NBC once, once all the injuries are sorted out in
1090
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:42.320
the playoffs and hopefully there isn't any, and I'm gonna
1091
01:03:42.360 --> 01:03:44.960
do an early, early one this year just because I
1092
01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:48.400
got a craving for it. It's okay, I haven't done
1093
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:50.679
one in years. I haven't done one in years, so
1094
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:53.000
I'm gonna I'm gonna toss some darts snaps.
1095
01:03:53.239 --> 01:03:55.519
It's one hundred and fifty dollars US, so that's like
1096
01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:59.280
eight thousand dollars Canadians. Yeah, good luck coming up with
1097
01:03:59.280 --> 01:03:59.679
the money.
1098
01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:03.480
Well, yeah, I've still got one kidney I can sell rich.
1099
01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:09.559
Jose Ramiris was the fifth pick, and that is that
1100
01:04:09.719 --> 01:04:13.159
Hunter Brown. So you got an elite pitcher and you've
1101
01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:17.119
got speed and power and a little old here with
1102
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:19.840
Jose Ramire is still a great pick. So you can
1103
01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:22.000
go in a lot of different directions with your third pick.
1104
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:26.599
Yeah, and the direction I'm going in is a first
1105
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:31.760
baseman and Vinnie P welcome, Wow, team McLoud.
1106
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:34.719
Wow, you love yourself, Vinnie P. Do you push him
1107
01:04:34.840 --> 01:04:38.480
up because he's a first baseman and you're thinking, at
1108
01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:40.719
least the last three weeks you've been talking about how
1109
01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:43.480
shallow first base is or do you like him that
1110
01:04:43.599 --> 01:04:46.440
month much that he's he's a he is a third
1111
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:47.119
round pick.
1112
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:52.480
Uh? Both? He had thirty two homes. Maybe he slung
1113
01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:54.559
thirty two homers last year and drove in one hundred
1114
01:04:54.559 --> 01:05:00.679
and thirteen runs, okay? Is his OVP was twenty three,
1115
01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:06.400
which is acceptable. I like Vinnibee. I think what we
1116
01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:10.159
saw this year was what twenty twenty four would have
1117
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:13.760
been had he played in September. Okay, maybe a little
1118
01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:17.039
bit more power. The RBAI is ninety seven to one thirteen.
1119
01:05:19.440 --> 01:05:22.280
I like Passmentino a lot, and I want to have
1120
01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:25.239
I want to have a first basement at the end
1121
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:29.159
of three rounds. This year, and I think if, hey,
1122
01:05:29.159 --> 01:05:31.960
if you wouldn't have taken Harper, I probably would have.
1123
01:05:32.039 --> 01:05:35.159
I would have taken Harper over past Quentino, but he
1124
01:05:35.239 --> 01:05:37.239
would have been gone before the end of this round.
1125
01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:38.280
I like him a lot.
1126
01:05:38.599 --> 01:05:42.639
I love I've always I've always loved anything. Yeah, get
1127
01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:44.480
him in the third round. I gotta think about that one.
1128
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:46.320
But you're a better player than me. So if he's
1129
01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:49.039
third round for you, it's good enough for me. As
1130
01:05:49.079 --> 01:05:52.159
long as that who's that Japanese guy you're talking about?
1131
01:05:51.880 --> 01:05:59.800
Move moves osaka? What? What? I truly can't remember what.
1132
01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:01.760
I'm not trying to make fun of his name. I
1133
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:04.000
don't remember what Muahara.
1134
01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:06.480
Apparently apparently I need two lungs too, and I've got
1135
01:06:06.519 --> 01:06:07.079
those still.
1136
01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:12.719
So Murricavy, okay, zero, just another chance for me to
1137
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:13.760
see zero point zero.
1138
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:20.239
Thank you? It six pick.
1139
01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:23.800
I took Jay Rod and then on my second pick,
1140
01:06:24.039 --> 01:06:27.320
I got ten pick cal Riley for me, so I
1141
01:06:27.320 --> 01:06:32.800
got two. I got well cal Riley's So when you
1142
01:06:33.000 --> 01:06:36.000
when you thinking either writing it down or putting in
1143
01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:39.400
a spreadsheet, or just mentally thinking about a guy like
1144
01:06:39.519 --> 01:06:42.480
Cale Riley, what do you mentally put in your brain
1145
01:06:42.599 --> 01:06:43.920
for home? Runs for next.
1146
01:06:43.719 --> 01:06:47.440
Season, leading the catcher category by quite a few.
1147
01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:51.400
So you don't you don't have a number in my.
1148
01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:56.679
Thirty Anything under thirty, I will be totally disappointed. I'm
1149
01:06:56.719 --> 01:06:58.760
thinking thirty five plus.
1150
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:03.559
Rally Aaron Joh, what what do you put? What do
1151
01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:05.280
you I'm just trying to figure out mentally, what do
1152
01:07:05.320 --> 01:07:07.000
you put in for a guy like Aaron Judge? You
1153
01:07:07.039 --> 01:07:08.880
put forty forty five?
1154
01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:13.159
Forty forty five, forty forty five, so you're forty plus.
1155
01:07:13.239 --> 01:07:16.559
You're not ready to put Kyle Riley in that elite
1156
01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:17.639
of elite yet?
1157
01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:21.000
Power? Is that?
1158
01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:22.000
Is that my take?
1159
01:07:23.199 --> 01:07:26.239
Well, I'm just I'm just playing the I'm just being
1160
01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:30.880
cautious there, Okay, Okay, yeah, I think, hey, he hits
1161
01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:33.679
sixty this year, you can hit sixty next year. Am
1162
01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:37.320
I going to build my team around the player and
1163
01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:39.239
say he's going to hit sixty and that's how much
1164
01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:41.760
I'm going to build into my projections when I'm looking
1165
01:07:41.800 --> 01:07:46.119
at my overall team. No, I think that's Hey, I
1166
01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:47.840
think you've got to be conservative when you come to
1167
01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:51.599
your projections. Okay, he might do it, but I feel
1168
01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:55.280
comfortable that he's going to hit thirty five. Like Kyle Schwarber,
1169
01:07:55.440 --> 01:07:58.039
you build in fifty home runs? Or do you build
1170
01:07:58.079 --> 01:07:58.679
in forty?
1171
01:07:59.400 --> 01:08:02.440
If you're being but I would have thought I would
1172
01:08:02.480 --> 01:08:05.679
have thought with Cayle Riley at sixty, you built in forty.
1173
01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:11.519
I'm all I know is I would be totally shocked
1174
01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:14.559
if he stays healthy and he doesn't lead all catchers
1175
01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:17.159
and home runs. Yeah, I would agree, I would be
1176
01:08:17.720 --> 01:08:20.399
I'd be shocked. Okay, wherever that number ends up being.
1177
01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:23.760
All Right, So Tim is saying, I guess early what
1178
01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:26.760
his thought is if I understanding correctly, don't get too
1179
01:08:27.199 --> 01:08:31.720
don't get to pinpointed on exacting the number of home runs.
1180
01:08:31.800 --> 01:08:36.119
Just no, fundamentally, you're going to be well above average
1181
01:08:36.159 --> 01:08:38.640
for home runs from a catcher, and probably well above
1182
01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:42.319
the second place guy that William contrasted. It easily could
1183
01:08:42.319 --> 01:08:44.199
be run in that same category.
1184
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:46.800
You know, when I think cal Riley right now? You
1185
01:08:46.840 --> 01:08:48.600
know what I think of I think of sal Prez
1186
01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:54.520
a few years ago. So who sal Perez? Oh okay, okay,
1187
01:08:54.960 --> 01:09:00.000
remember when sel Perez had that monster season? Oh okay,
1188
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:04.960
and again I can't I'm just gonna call it up
1189
01:09:05.039 --> 01:09:07.319
right now. He had one season I think it was
1190
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:10.720
two three years ago. Okay, Like this year Perez hit
1191
01:09:10.760 --> 01:09:13.439
thirty home runs and drove in one hundred RBIs okay.
1192
01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:18.800
But if you could go back to twenty twenty one, okay,
1193
01:09:18.800 --> 01:09:20.920
he hit forty eight home runs, drove in one hundred
1194
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:25.640
and twenty one. Okay, Since then, he's hit twenty three,
1195
01:09:25.800 --> 01:09:31.000
twenty three, twenty seven, and thirty. I don't I'm playing.
1196
01:09:31.119 --> 01:09:34.159
I'm looking at Perez and saying, cal Riley, Okay, you
1197
01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:36.960
had your sixty. Okay, you've proved you can hit the
1198
01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:40.159
ball a long way. But I feel more that he's
1199
01:09:40.199 --> 01:09:43.479
going to be akin to sell Perez moving forward and
1200
01:09:43.520 --> 01:09:46.720
the way his career has unfolded as compared to being
1201
01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:48.560
a guy who's gonna hit sixty every year.
1202
01:09:50.279 --> 01:09:52.720
Yeah, because you're right, that forty eight home run was
1203
01:09:52.760 --> 01:09:58.079
followed by twenty three, but with two hundred less plate appearances.
1204
01:09:58.359 --> 01:10:00.279
But then even if you take a look at that
1205
01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:02.920
twenty twenty three, it was still twenty three home runs
1206
01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:09.479
but only eighty less plate appearances. So that twenty twenty
1207
01:10:09.520 --> 01:10:11.279
one season does look like a career year.
1208
01:10:12.359 --> 01:10:16.359
Yeah, And I would rather just be I would rather
1209
01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:20.479
just be cautious in my approach as compared to putting
1210
01:10:20.520 --> 01:10:22.560
out numbers. Yeah, and you know what if he does
1211
01:10:22.640 --> 01:10:28.239
hit sixty again, congratulations, your projections will be will be
1212
01:10:28.279 --> 01:10:34.359
plus fifteen on the power. That's not going to hurt you, right.
1213
01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:37.199
I think that that makes sense. You know, I'm gonna
1214
01:10:37.520 --> 01:10:42.800
sal Perez interesting guy. I mean, he is thirty five now,
1215
01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:45.960
so it's probably thirty six season next year. Whateverb I
1216
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:49.039
just be careful. I mean he has flat out never walked,
1217
01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:54.159
and it's not slowed down. I mean, he's always been
1218
01:10:54.159 --> 01:10:57.119
able to work through that does make really good contact.
1219
01:10:57.439 --> 01:11:00.720
But that average average ex of velocity now has gotten
1220
01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:03.399
down to that ninety mile an hour zone, so it's
1221
01:11:03.600 --> 01:11:06.800
ninety miles an hour flat. So he is the longer.
1222
01:11:06.880 --> 01:11:09.600
That twenty twenty one season was ninety three mile an
1223
01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:12.000
hour acts of velocity. So you're starting to see the
1224
01:11:12.159 --> 01:11:16.560
natural kind of progression of a guy starting to get older,
1225
01:11:16.680 --> 01:11:18.720
the bat speed slowing down a little bit, et cetera,
1226
01:11:18.760 --> 01:11:24.319
et cetera. So I wouldn't consider I'd be hard pressed
1227
01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:28.439
to consider sal Perez an elite, elite catcher anymore.
1228
01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:32.680
I agree all of them more shares of Carter Jensen
1229
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:35.319
next year than I will sal Perez.
1230
01:11:36.079 --> 01:11:37.720
Yeah, because I think South pre is still going to
1231
01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:40.600
go as a top five catcher. That works me a
1232
01:11:40.640 --> 01:11:41.079
little bit.
1233
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:45.720
Yeah, I've the Royals got themselves a good one with Jensen.
1234
01:11:46.399 --> 01:11:48.279
That was a great call. That was a great pool
1235
01:11:48.319 --> 01:11:50.319
by you. I love Carter Jensen.
1236
01:11:51.520 --> 01:11:55.159
Yeah, and I think he's going to work his way
1237
01:11:55.319 --> 01:12:01.439
into the mix away. I think Perez is going to
1238
01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:04.000
do some daging and I think Perez will be a
1239
01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:06.359
good choice. But if I had to bet on a
1240
01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:09.520
number for Perez, I would go low twenties, eighty five
1241
01:12:10.039 --> 01:12:14.960
RBIs to twenty five to thirty batting average still top ten,
1242
01:12:15.159 --> 01:12:20.039
but it's I think it's projecting forward. I think we
1243
01:12:20.159 --> 01:12:23.359
have to take exactly what you said into account. He's
1244
01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:26.960
thirty five years old, it'll be thirty six next spring.
1245
01:12:27.880 --> 01:12:30.479
So I'm not sure if I've made my selection yet.
1246
01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:33.119
So because I wrote it down, I wrote it down
1247
01:12:33.159 --> 01:12:36.479
a while ago, so so in my mind I've already made.
1248
01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:40.760
But I know we've been talking, so I I think
1249
01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:43.960
I selected. So this is we're all pick six. So
1250
01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:52.399
Jay Rod went into Ky Riley. Yeah, then we got
1251
01:12:52.439 --> 01:12:55.640
we got stuck on talking about Kyle Riley. Right, I'm
1252
01:12:55.680 --> 01:12:59.359
gonna go with a picture. I'm going Logan Gilbert. Too bad, Timmy,
1253
01:12:59.359 --> 01:13:01.560
you should have made that's taken like your bet. One
1254
01:13:01.640 --> 01:13:05.159
season later, it has turned out that Logan Gilbert is
1255
01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:07.960
the better picture. But Tim who won the bet?
1256
01:13:11.239 --> 01:13:13.880
I need a zero point zero button? Dammit, I need
1257
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:20.600
please Rich give me a zero zero I know, yeah,
1258
01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:25.479
it's yeah, yeah, Logan Logan Gilbert, if he can stay healthy,
1259
01:13:26.159 --> 01:13:27.760
has potential to be a top five starter.
1260
01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:34.960
I think he's relatively low risk too. I mean, so yeah,
1261
01:13:35.159 --> 01:13:36.520
he's been able to stay healthy.
1262
01:13:37.640 --> 01:13:41.279
He ates some problems with the forearm, I think early.
1263
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:43.319
I mean he missed a couple of months this year,
1264
01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:48.560
so that I think that's good because probably is.
1265
01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:52.119
Yeah, he's pitching deep until the playoffs. I mean he's
1266
01:13:52.560 --> 01:13:55.359
maybe he'll be a little bit fresher coming into next season.
1267
01:13:56.039 --> 01:14:00.760
Right right, I like to pick. Okay, who does Tim
1268
01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:02.920
have to work with here? He's working with La de
1269
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:08.239
la Rosa. I don't think we need speed. Uh yeah
1270
01:14:08.359 --> 01:14:14.520
that too? Oh yeah, no, I just I just read
1271
01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:16.720
the type in note. Sorry, I just read it. Yeah,
1272
01:14:16.720 --> 01:14:24.399
it's dope. James would oh three for fun, James Wood Oh.
1273
01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:30.399
To young guys, Well.
1274
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:34.439
I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna go boring here, and I
1275
01:14:35.159 --> 01:14:39.439
want an elite picture, and I think I got I
1276
01:14:39.479 --> 01:14:42.680
think I've got one one in mine and Max Freed,
1277
01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:46.399
so I'll go Max Freed.
1278
01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:51.239
Okay, that's good way, and I think it just let's go.
1279
01:14:52.920 --> 01:14:54.000
Oh no, you losen?
1280
01:14:54.359 --> 01:14:58.119
No, I uh just lost my sheet I was working
1281
01:14:58.159 --> 01:15:00.880
on here, so oh, I don't know what I did
1282
01:15:00.920 --> 01:15:05.279
with it. Oh crap, So now I lost where's my guys?
1283
01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:09.279
I was picking from.
1284
01:15:07.680 --> 01:15:09.159
Mark Amy's still available?
1285
01:15:10.359 --> 01:15:13.720
Okay, all right, so I'm actually flying blind here a
1286
01:15:13.720 --> 01:15:14.079
little bit.
1287
01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:15.039
I'm sorry?
1288
01:15:15.039 --> 01:15:15.800
Did you pick again?
1289
01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:22.720
Oh? I went? I went with Max Freed, Max Free?
1290
01:15:22.760 --> 01:15:26.239
I pick yeah, get a get a starting picture to
1291
01:15:26.279 --> 01:15:29.159
go with Dela Cruz and what James would I think
1292
01:15:29.199 --> 01:15:30.000
that works?
1293
01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:38.159
Yep? Yeah, see Tim Max Freed. So if I'm taking
1294
01:15:38.199 --> 01:15:43.680
a look at pick eight, was Francisco Lindor, followed by
1295
01:15:43.760 --> 01:15:47.800
Pete Alonzo's got a I got big boy power there.
1296
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:51.159
I've got some speed with Francisco Lindor, so I could
1297
01:15:51.239 --> 01:15:54.439
go with a speed guy. I could go with PCA
1298
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:58.399
would actually be a pretty good pick there. I could
1299
01:15:58.439 --> 01:16:00.920
also go with an elite picture, which I think that
1300
01:16:01.079 --> 01:16:06.319
is what I'm going to do. Where did I? Oh?
1301
01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:07.600
This really stinks, Timmy.
1302
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:10.479
Well, I can give you some pictures that I have
1303
01:16:11.279 --> 01:16:11.960
If that helps.
1304
01:16:12.520 --> 01:16:18.600
Let me let me uh old on just a second here, Yeah,
1305
01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:22.840
I h there they are there it is. I got
1306
01:16:22.840 --> 01:16:26.600
the hit control Z. I deleted it by accident. So
1307
01:16:26.680 --> 01:16:29.439
there's my list against it. So I'm going to go
1308
01:16:30.199 --> 01:16:33.119
am I gonna go Hunter Green, Max Fred or Jacob
1309
01:16:33.159 --> 01:16:35.079
to Grom? What do you think got Jacob to Grom?
1310
01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:37.399
Coming into this season? It was really good?
1311
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:43.439
He was really good. Yeah. I I've got one other
1312
01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:51.119
picture that that is intriguing. But who was this? Actually
1313
01:16:51.119 --> 01:16:53.520
there's a Logan web in that group. I got Spencer
1314
01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:54.880
Strider in that group and.
1315
01:16:56.239 --> 01:16:58.359
Brian Christopher Sanchez very good.
1316
01:16:58.800 --> 01:17:02.279
I think there's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot of pictures.
1317
01:17:02.319 --> 01:17:06.479
I think that you could look at that all could
1318
01:17:06.520 --> 01:17:10.000
do the job, you know what I mean. It's yeah, yeah,
1319
01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:12.880
I think getting pictures.
1320
01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:14.840
I have a soft spot for Hunter Green. I mean
1321
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:19.239
the strikeouts, yeah, are great. But Christopher Sanchez, if we
1322
01:17:19.359 --> 01:17:20.920
just take a look at what he did, it was
1323
01:17:21.079 --> 01:17:24.239
just ridiculous. So you know, I yes, it was. That's
1324
01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:25.479
where I'm going to go to him. I'm going to
1325
01:17:25.520 --> 01:17:26.720
go Christopher Sanchez.
1326
01:17:28.039 --> 01:17:32.199
I don't fault one min that's pick thirty eight. I
1327
01:17:32.239 --> 01:17:35.600
guess eh it is indeed, So yeah, no, that's a
1328
01:17:35.640 --> 01:17:39.199
great it's a great pick. I think a lot of
1329
01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:46.359
people are undervaluing Christopher Sanchez or they're not giving him
1330
01:17:46.359 --> 01:17:50.279
maybe the credit he deserves for this season. Yeah. The
1331
01:17:50.319 --> 01:17:53.439
two hundred and twelve strikeouts is huge. His whip was
1332
01:17:53.439 --> 01:17:59.279
one oh sticks, he won thirteen games, posted a two
1333
01:17:59.359 --> 01:18:00.319
fifty years eight.
1334
01:18:01.279 --> 01:18:04.640
Yeah. You take a look at the space Spaceball Savant profile.
1335
01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:06.199
It is all it's all red.
1336
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:10.520
All red. Yeah. Yeah, his his walk grate. He upped
1337
01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:13.399
his innings from one eighty one with forty four walks
1338
01:18:13.439 --> 01:18:18.520
to two oh two with the same forty four walks. Okay,
1339
01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:24.520
I think he he proved in twenty twenty five that
1340
01:18:25.479 --> 01:18:28.479
he's got to be discussed as a top ten starting
1341
01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:29.640
pitcher in our game.
1342
01:18:30.680 --> 01:18:33.279
Yeah. I mean the date, the stat is stats are there,
1343
01:18:33.279 --> 01:18:34.640
but if you take a look at the date, it's
1344
01:18:34.640 --> 01:18:37.680
a really weird profile because this is a three pitch pitcher.
1345
01:18:38.079 --> 01:18:43.439
It's a sinker change slider. Slider's not very good. The
1346
01:18:43.560 --> 01:18:48.079
sinker and change up have the almost the same landing spot.
1347
01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:51.560
I mean, just really great. Ronald bothas, so those are
1348
01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:54.560
both elite pitches, but he has nothing that goes north
1349
01:18:54.640 --> 01:18:57.560
to south. Everything is running east to west, and in fact,
1350
01:18:57.760 --> 01:19:01.239
everything is running in on left handed pitchers excuse me,
1351
01:19:01.319 --> 01:19:04.359
left handed batters. So it's a it's a strange profile,
1352
01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:07.079
but it all works because he's been great for the
1353
01:19:07.119 --> 01:19:10.960
last three seasons, three forty four years. He doesn't.
1354
01:19:12.479 --> 01:19:14.079
Yeah, he doesn't throw a fastball, does he.
1355
01:19:14.680 --> 01:19:17.119
It's it's a sinker. It's the sinker is his fastball. Yeah,
1356
01:19:17.119 --> 01:19:20.640
but the sinker as opposed to induce vertical breaks. So
1357
01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:23.239
if you Patreon, you know what I'm talking about. Where
1358
01:19:23.479 --> 01:19:26.760
the ball is really going north to south, it's moving
1359
01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:31.159
in on hitters, so it's it's got huge break back
1360
01:19:31.199 --> 01:19:34.000
into hitters, or it goes away from a glove side batter,
1361
01:19:34.239 --> 01:19:36.640
which is a right handed batter. Right, So that's where
1362
01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:38.560
you get that tremendous run. But that's what a change
1363
01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:40.800
up is supposed to do. But when you've got the
1364
01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:43.920
ability to tunnel that change up exactly the same spot
1365
01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:46.720
with the with the sinker, even though they're both doing
1366
01:19:46.760 --> 01:19:50.279
the same movement, it becomes nasty because one of them
1367
01:19:50.319 --> 01:19:52.399
is ten miles an hour slower than the other and
1368
01:19:53.039 --> 01:19:55.640
you just get these tremendous swing and missus, which is
1369
01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:58.119
what he what he has. His change up has a
1370
01:19:58.319 --> 01:20:02.199
forty five percent with rate. I mean that's ridiculous.
1371
01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:07.039
Yeah, that's yeah. You ain't hitting that. It's as simple. Yeah,
1372
01:20:07.079 --> 01:20:09.880
it's as simple as that. And his hit rates dropped
1373
01:20:10.279 --> 01:20:14.479
considerably from twenty four to twenty five. You know, he
1374
01:20:14.520 --> 01:20:15.960
had a lot of one hundred and eighty two hits
1375
01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:17.880
and one hundred and eighty one and two thirds, and
1376
01:20:17.920 --> 01:20:21.279
twenty four dropped that down to one seventy one over
1377
01:20:21.319 --> 01:20:24.039
two hundred and two innings in twenty five. Now, the
1378
01:20:24.239 --> 01:20:28.199
only question I would have is twenty five going to
1379
01:20:28.279 --> 01:20:31.119
prove to be the Outlaiyer as far as his hit
1380
01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:34.920
rates concerned, Rich, do you have any thoughts?
1381
01:20:35.960 --> 01:20:37.840
All I can tell you ten y, I mean it could.
1382
01:20:37.880 --> 01:20:40.960
All I can tell you is is he's six foot six.
1383
01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:44.239
He has a stride of seven feet, which is elite,
1384
01:20:44.760 --> 01:20:47.680
which is what a guy who's six foot six should have.
1385
01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:53.680
He's got the physicality, he's got the great pitch and
1386
01:20:53.800 --> 01:20:57.399
the change up. He's got a fastball that is sinker's
1387
01:20:57.439 --> 01:21:01.840
coming in at miles an hour. It's maxing out at
1388
01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:05.319
ninety eight miles an hour. Yeah, that's moving, I mean,
1389
01:21:06.399 --> 01:21:10.279
stuff wise. This guy's great. I mean, yeah, he's great.
1390
01:21:10.279 --> 01:21:11.880
He's an ace. I mean, this is this is what
1391
01:21:11.920 --> 01:21:15.880
aces look like. Even though the arsenal is probably not classic.
1392
01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:18.800
It's like, well, you really should have something that goes
1393
01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:21.239
north to south a little bit, but he just doesn't
1394
01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:23.000
have that. But it still works.
1395
01:21:23.319 --> 01:21:26.560
So yeah, yeah, I was gonna say, as long as
1396
01:21:26.600 --> 01:21:31.640
it keeps on or working. Yeah, yeah, No, it's he's
1397
01:21:31.680 --> 01:21:34.119
had an impressive year. And again I don't think people
1398
01:21:34.159 --> 01:21:36.439
are giving him as much predud as they probably should.
1399
01:21:37.319 --> 01:21:39.600
Is he a free agent? I don't think so.
1400
01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:43.079
He's only twenty he's only twenty eight. Yeah he can't be.
1401
01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:44.600
Okay, Tim, you're on the clock.
1402
01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:49.239
Okay, where are we up to here? Cormyn Carroll?
1403
01:21:49.399 --> 01:21:53.239
Nine? Where we're at Yeah nine, Cormyn Carroll went one.
1404
01:21:53.279 --> 01:21:57.000
Now it's getting complicated. I think it's Jamamota.
1405
01:21:58.439 --> 01:22:02.479
Yes it is. So we don't need a starting pitcher.
1406
01:22:02.600 --> 01:22:08.560
We've got power speed. Okay, let's just take a quick
1407
01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:14.920
look here. I'm gonna go with a guy if I
1408
01:22:14.920 --> 01:22:17.720
if I'm calling this right that I think still has
1409
01:22:17.760 --> 01:22:21.000
some upside. But being that I got the speed from Carol.
1410
01:22:22.039 --> 01:22:27.239
I can probably work with Riley Green in the outfield.
1411
01:22:29.479 --> 01:22:33.039
Good pick. Yeah, he had a lot of home runs
1412
01:22:33.159 --> 01:22:35.800
last I look, it was like thirty five.
1413
01:22:37.439 --> 01:22:41.119
Uh, Riley Green, it was way up there in the RBI.
1414
01:22:41.399 --> 01:22:43.800
I totals, Yeah, thirty six and one hundred and eleven
1415
01:22:43.880 --> 01:22:48.000
rbisco with two fifty eight eighty four runs scored. The
1416
01:22:48.039 --> 01:22:51.479
OBP was down a bit. Is he didn't walk as much.
1417
01:22:51.520 --> 01:22:54.680
He was swinging a little bit more for the fences being.
1418
01:22:54.720 --> 01:22:58.399
His power did jump up rather considerably by twelve home
1419
01:22:58.479 --> 01:23:02.439
runs twenty four to twenty. But I like Riley Green.
1420
01:23:03.399 --> 01:23:07.640
He's still young. He's only twenty five. I think there's
1421
01:23:07.680 --> 01:23:12.039
another thirty plus over one hundred and ten RBI season
1422
01:23:12.119 --> 01:23:15.439
coming up this year with a decent batting average two
1423
01:23:15.520 --> 01:23:19.960
fifty to sixty somewhere in that range. So uh, and
1424
01:23:20.039 --> 01:23:23.119
again we need we need five outfielders. It never hurts
1425
01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:25.600
to have one or two early, does it?
1426
01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:28.079
It doesn't in your good point, Let's take a quick
1427
01:23:28.119 --> 01:23:30.319
break and I we're got to pick up the pace
1428
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:32.960
righty an hour and twenty five minute steps.
1429
01:23:33.000 --> 01:23:35.840
So well, I thank you.
1430
01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:49.439
Here's my delimite. I am on the clock with pick
1431
01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:53.960
number ten. Ark Scuebel went with the number one pick,
1432
01:23:54.760 --> 01:23:58.319
followed by my second pick would be Vlad Junior. So
1433
01:23:58.399 --> 01:24:01.000
I've obviously got the best picture in baseball, and I've
1434
01:24:01.000 --> 01:24:03.840
got thirty home runs and a guy that can flat
1435
01:24:03.840 --> 01:24:06.920
out hit and on base percentage league even better. From
1436
01:24:06.960 --> 01:24:10.159
an opp this would seem to be a perfect operation.
1437
01:24:10.159 --> 01:24:12.359
And I need an outfielder, right, so I have no outfielders.
1438
01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:15.039
We know you need five of them. This feels like
1439
01:24:15.119 --> 01:24:18.079
the perfect opportunity to go to with Pete Crow Armstrong.
1440
01:24:18.840 --> 01:24:21.880
But I'm yeah, I was. I was going to say, yeah,
1441
01:24:22.119 --> 01:24:27.520
it is, but there are chicken shit. Yeah, No, I
1442
01:24:27.600 --> 01:24:29.920
don't blame you because there's a couple of other players
1443
01:24:29.920 --> 01:24:34.920
out there that can that might have I think better
1444
01:24:34.960 --> 01:24:37.279
odds of having a better twenty six season.
1445
01:24:38.119 --> 01:24:41.720
Yeah. Am I crazy to think Trevor's story might be
1446
01:24:41.800 --> 01:24:42.600
one of those guys?
1447
01:24:44.079 --> 01:24:46.239
No, You're not crazy at all. If he stays healthy,
1448
01:24:46.239 --> 01:24:47.399
he proved what he can do.
1449
01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:50.479
Twenty five home runs, thirty one stolen bases on a
1450
01:24:50.520 --> 01:24:55.520
great team, ninety one runs scored, ninety six RBIs. I
1451
01:24:55.520 --> 01:24:59.880
mean it seems crazy given how infrequently he has played,
1452
01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:02.680
He's still a great player. I'm gonna go Trevor's story.
1453
01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:05.600
I need an outfielder, but I'm scared about the PCA,
1454
01:25:05.720 --> 01:25:06.920
so I'm going Trevor's story.
1455
01:25:08.079 --> 01:25:13.199
Pick number forty. Trevor's story. It's all about one thing
1456
01:25:13.239 --> 01:25:19.279
with trevor story, it's health. Yeah. No, I like the pick.
1457
01:25:19.880 --> 01:25:25.520
All right, Okay, who are we looking at here? Oh?
1458
01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:32.960
Tatist Jr. And Ronald Acuna. I like that. I like that.
1459
01:25:34.119 --> 01:25:38.760
Well, you know what, I there are some starting pitchers
1460
01:25:40.279 --> 01:25:42.600
available that I sort of like. But I'm going to
1461
01:25:42.680 --> 01:25:44.840
bet that they fall to around four one of the
1462
01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:50.199
guys I've got, and I'm going with the first closer
1463
01:25:50.319 --> 01:25:54.119
off the board. Wow, and Edwin Diaz.
1464
01:25:57.000 --> 01:26:00.159
First closer makes it to the end of the third round.
1465
01:26:00.880 --> 01:26:04.359
So and then I think in the next round that's
1466
01:26:04.399 --> 01:26:06.960
when they go and I'll be able to take the
1467
01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:08.840
starting picture I want. That's what I'm betting.
1468
01:26:09.720 --> 01:26:12.199
So you get the best closer, well who you can
1469
01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:14.119
see if the best closer in the game, I'm assuming
1470
01:26:14.760 --> 01:26:18.479
so he goes above Josh Hater and Will vest right, so.
1471
01:26:20.039 --> 01:26:24.720
Just marginally over best I've got. I got four closers today,
1472
01:26:24.840 --> 01:26:28.560
Like my top four right now is Diez Munos hater
1473
01:26:28.800 --> 01:26:29.439
and Duran.
1474
01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:35.439
I think that's good. Duran'sman was really good, by the way. Yeah,
1475
01:26:35.520 --> 01:26:38.159
does Will Vest remind you of Jason Foley? Remember him?
1476
01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:44.279
Jason Foley? I try to forget, but no, I'm hoping
1477
01:26:44.319 --> 01:26:47.840
he doesn't remind us of Jason Foley. And just for
1478
01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:51.800
those who believe in funds all the information on Will,
1479
01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:57.720
I'm keeping close to the best. Sorry, that's okay. I
1480
01:26:57.720 --> 01:26:59.520
couldn't lose, I couldn't resist.
1481
01:27:00.159 --> 01:27:04.479
Okay. Yeah, I never know when the draft closer, so
1482
01:27:05.039 --> 01:27:07.439
let's stick with everybody. Stick with what Tim is doing
1483
01:27:07.439 --> 01:27:09.560
because he's better at that part of the game than
1484
01:27:09.600 --> 01:27:13.720
I am. I just don't know. Look, i've my next pick.
1485
01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:19.920
I'm on the clock at twelve was Kyle Schwarber and
1486
01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:26.359
and Jess Chisholm like a huge power. I've got speed powers.
1487
01:27:26.359 --> 01:27:28.439
I probably should go with a with a with a
1488
01:27:28.479 --> 01:27:32.359
picture here and I I think I am. Did they
1489
01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:34.359
Jacob de Grm go off the board? I'm gonna go
1490
01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:35.199
Jacob de Gram here?
1491
01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:39.039
No, No, Jake de Gram is sitting there with your
1492
01:27:39.119 --> 01:27:41.760
name written all over it. Rich Jacob.
1493
01:27:42.960 --> 01:27:46.359
Yeah, I like this looking at what we've picked before,
1494
01:27:46.399 --> 01:27:47.159
that's a good idea.
1495
01:27:48.439 --> 01:27:56.159
M yeah. Well it allows for not only the good
1496
01:27:56.199 --> 01:27:59.800
players going off the board, but trying, in some semblance,
1497
01:27:59.840 --> 01:28:03.039
to the team right, because sometimes the best players you
1498
01:28:03.079 --> 01:28:07.079
could end up with three first basement right on your team. Yeah,
1499
01:28:07.239 --> 01:28:09.039
just hitting it. And that doesn't make a lot of sense,
1500
01:28:09.079 --> 01:28:09.319
does it.
1501
01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:12.319
I totally agree with you, right, Timmy, you're on the clock.
1502
01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:17.319
Hey, okay, what do we got Gunner Henderson, Garrett Crochet.
1503
01:28:17.640 --> 01:28:19.680
Oh that's good. That's a good start.
1504
01:28:20.680 --> 01:28:22.279
That it is a good start. Let's see if I
1505
01:28:22.279 --> 01:28:26.680
can and you and I am. I am going with
1506
01:28:26.720 --> 01:28:29.960
a five category player who has the last time he
1507
01:28:29.960 --> 01:28:33.680
failed to go twenty twenty was probably five years ago now,
1508
01:28:34.680 --> 01:28:39.199
and at number forty three, I'm going with Randy Rose Arena.
1509
01:28:41.720 --> 01:28:42.960
Good good pick there.
1510
01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:47.960
Well, it should go good with Gunner and and I've
1511
01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:51.319
got the picture in Crochet and in the fourth round
1512
01:28:51.399 --> 01:28:54.640
I would come back with another picture, probably a flowser
1513
01:28:54.680 --> 01:28:56.159
if there's one, if there's one there.
1514
01:28:56.960 --> 01:29:02.920
Okay, now it's getting interesting. Boy, Kyle Tucker for that
1515
01:29:03.079 --> 01:29:05.640
kind what a steal getting Kyle Tucker.
1516
01:29:06.439 --> 01:29:07.920
You get the best team rich.
1517
01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:15.920
Kyle Tucker and not Nick Kurtz and uh junior junior
1518
01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:19.159
Kyle Tucker and junior.
1519
01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:22.800
Junior Gamin Arrow. That's a nice That's a nice pair,
1520
01:29:22.880 --> 01:29:23.199
ain't it.
1521
01:29:25.039 --> 01:29:27.520
Wow, that's really good. And who's who's the last pick?
1522
01:29:27.560 --> 01:29:32.800
Would be Skians and Cheery. Wow that's good too.
1523
01:29:32.680 --> 01:29:37.880
Tom Yeah wow, yeah. Yeah.
1524
01:29:38.399 --> 01:29:41.319
So I'm looking at Kyle Tucker. Is gonna give me
1525
01:29:41.359 --> 01:29:45.159
twenty five to thirty home runs? Junior Cameron Arras. Is
1526
01:29:45.199 --> 01:29:47.880
it one of those guys even though he's only done
1527
01:29:47.880 --> 01:29:50.199
it for one season, that you could pencil in forty
1528
01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:50.960
for next season?
1529
01:29:52.159 --> 01:29:56.239
Ah, I'm working with thirty to thirty five, but forty on, Yeah,
1530
01:29:56.319 --> 01:29:58.399
forty is not out of the realm of buzz ability.
1531
01:29:58.479 --> 01:30:02.079
I'm looking at sixty five home runs. I'm looking at
1532
01:30:02.079 --> 01:30:04.079
a decent batting average between the two. If it's on
1533
01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:07.960
base percentage like, it's not great. Becaust junior Camerera never walks.
1534
01:30:08.560 --> 01:30:11.359
I mean it should go with a picture here.
1535
01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:15.239
But I would think so because by the time it
1536
01:30:15.279 --> 01:30:16.600
gets back to you.
1537
01:30:16.600 --> 01:30:21.880
No, no, I'm on the on the No, I'm yeah.
1538
01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:23.399
My fourth pick is right around the corner.
1539
01:30:23.720 --> 01:30:25.119
Oh sorry, it's right around the corner.
1540
01:30:25.199 --> 01:30:25.399
Yeah.
1541
01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:27.720
You could, you could, you could, you could wave, you
1542
01:30:27.720 --> 01:30:33.920
could weave on pitching. Yeah, and take if take take
1543
01:30:33.960 --> 01:30:38.520
what's left. If you wanted you build a heck, well
1544
01:30:38.560 --> 01:30:41.920
you're gonna get anyways because people are gonna take pitching.
1545
01:30:42.199 --> 01:30:45.319
Let's let's let's talk about this. So I'm still on
1546
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:49.239
my board. I still have your Dann Alvarez. Yeah he
1547
01:30:49.279 --> 01:30:53.680
hasn't he hasn't been taken right. Uh No, I still
1548
01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:58.279
have Manny Machado. I still have Mookie Bats, I have
1549
01:30:58.399 --> 01:30:59.399
Hunter Green.
1550
01:31:01.199 --> 01:31:02.000
H yes, you do.
1551
01:31:02.680 --> 01:31:05.399
I've got Bryce Trenge is still sitting out there.
1552
01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:06.520
Mmm hmm.
1553
01:31:07.359 --> 01:31:11.439
But if if this is my shot to take the
1554
01:31:11.520 --> 01:31:16.319
guy with the biggest upside, Roman Anthony, what if I
1555
01:31:16.359 --> 01:31:19.000
went Romani? Is that too early because he's not coming
1556
01:31:19.039 --> 01:31:21.479
back to me? Right, I have to take a picture
1557
01:31:21.840 --> 01:31:25.960
either here or at at the next pick, right, I
1558
01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:28.399
can't get out of the I can't wait till the sixth,
1559
01:31:28.680 --> 01:31:30.640
the end of the fifth round to get my first picture.
1560
01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:36.680
That's going to be tough. So yeah, it's so if
1561
01:31:36.680 --> 01:31:39.560
I take one, right.
1562
01:31:39.720 --> 01:31:42.079
You got to take a picture coming back. You have to.
1563
01:31:42.359 --> 01:31:44.359
But if I want Roman Anthony on my team, I
1564
01:31:44.399 --> 01:31:46.079
have to take him here because he's not coming back
1565
01:31:46.119 --> 01:31:46.800
to me on five.
1566
01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:50.680
I can guarantee you he is not coming back to
1567
01:31:50.720 --> 01:31:52.039
you with your next.
1568
01:31:51.760 --> 01:31:55.239
Pick, right, I mean Stam's going to take him, so
1569
01:31:56.239 --> 01:31:56.720
that's right.
1570
01:31:56.800 --> 01:31:59.479
Yeah, So because I've got I've got Paul Skan, so
1571
01:31:59.479 --> 01:32:03.479
I got my pay so yeah, and I got Jackson Curio.
1572
01:32:03.640 --> 01:32:07.840
So yeah, I'm so my strategy on my list.
1573
01:32:07.920 --> 01:32:10.640
Yeah, even though I'm looking at Tim's que at the moment,
1574
01:32:11.319 --> 01:32:14.399
my thinking here is why go Roman Anthony before I
1575
01:32:14.399 --> 01:32:17.960
would go A Pictures because Tim's got Paul Skeans. So
1576
01:32:18.039 --> 01:32:21.319
the likelihood of Tim taking another starting picture is pretty
1577
01:32:21.359 --> 01:32:24.960
low on the on the turn, particularly since he's because
1578
01:32:24.960 --> 01:32:27.399
he's he's took Paul Skeens with his first pick, so
1579
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:30.760
he's got to really come with some some bats, so
1580
01:32:31.039 --> 01:32:35.960
he might take he might take Roman Anthony. So I'm
1581
01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:39.159
gonna go Roman Anthony here. Yeah.
1582
01:32:39.199 --> 01:32:43.359
I I think it's a great pick. Yeah, I he
1583
01:32:43.479 --> 01:32:44.319
wasn't coming back.
1584
01:32:44.239 --> 01:32:47.399
He yeah, I there's no way even if even if
1585
01:32:47.399 --> 01:32:48.079
you didn't take.
1586
01:32:47.960 --> 01:32:52.760
It there, Yeah, as much told you that, right.
1587
01:32:54.399 --> 01:32:57.880
Right, but even if even if we weren't talking again,
1588
01:32:57.920 --> 01:33:00.560
it's one of my I'm picking in the third round,
1589
01:33:00.560 --> 01:33:03.079
so I pick early in the fourth round, but late
1590
01:33:03.119 --> 01:33:06.359
in the fifth round. He's not coming back in the
1591
01:33:06.359 --> 01:33:08.600
fifth round, so if you want roam On Anthony, you
1592
01:33:08.600 --> 01:33:10.880
gotta this is the place to take us. You got
1593
01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:13.239
to think I'm going to take him or I'm not.
1594
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:17.000
And PCA is also not going to come back around too,
1595
01:33:17.039 --> 01:33:19.079
So that was another guy. I'm thinking, do I take
1596
01:33:19.119 --> 01:33:22.439
the risk there with PCA, which yeah, I mean could
1597
01:33:22.479 --> 01:33:24.359
be a good pick there too. But so I'm gonna
1598
01:33:24.359 --> 01:33:27.439
go roam On Anthony and hope that the huge power
1599
01:33:27.479 --> 01:33:32.960
shows up, and I would think it would, so yeah.
1600
01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:36.239
And you know what's fascinating with this process that we're
1601
01:33:36.279 --> 01:33:40.239
going through is if you're drafting in a redraft league
1602
01:33:40.319 --> 01:33:43.960
on a sixty second clock, which is pretty well the standard.
1603
01:33:44.399 --> 01:33:48.079
Everything we spent the past fifteen minutes discussing boils down
1604
01:33:48.079 --> 01:33:51.359
to sixty seconds. And that's why I like fast drafts.
1605
01:33:51.399 --> 01:33:55.119
I really do, Timmy, You're on the clock, last last pick.
1606
01:33:56.600 --> 01:34:01.560
Yeah, I got, I got, I got lots of interesting
1607
01:34:01.600 --> 01:34:05.640
options here. But I think what I'm going to do,
1608
01:34:07.640 --> 01:34:15.760
Oh ah, I'm dealing with Churio and Schemes.
1609
01:34:16.640 --> 01:34:19.840
That's you gotta get a bat. You gotta get a
1610
01:34:19.840 --> 01:34:20.520
big bat there.
1611
01:34:22.560 --> 01:34:33.279
Uh yeah, one one battle and one starting pitcher to
1612
01:34:33.319 --> 01:34:36.319
pair with Schemes would be rather nice wouldn't that I'm
1613
01:34:36.359 --> 01:34:42.560
gonna go with I'm gonna go with C. J. Abrams.
1614
01:34:43.640 --> 01:34:49.199
Interesting. So when when is jor Dane Alvarez going.
1615
01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:51.239
Next round?
1616
01:34:54.039 --> 01:34:55.640
That could be a great pick for somebody.
1617
01:34:56.560 --> 01:35:01.520
It's it's gonna be one of those picks that either
1618
01:35:01.600 --> 01:35:07.119
you're going to be incredibly happy or you're gonna kiss
1619
01:35:07.159 --> 01:35:11.079
your season goodbye because you're going to count on You're
1620
01:35:11.079 --> 01:35:13.960
gonna count on Alvarez for thirty plus homers, one hundred
1621
01:35:14.039 --> 01:35:16.800
RBIs and believe you me I had them this year.
1622
01:35:16.840 --> 01:35:19.119
When you don't get the thirty home runs and the
1623
01:35:19.119 --> 01:35:23.720
one hundred RBIs your second wind all season and you
1624
01:35:23.760 --> 01:35:28.439
are it's a problem when you're doing that a player
1625
01:35:28.520 --> 01:35:30.279
like that, when you're looking at picking them up at
1626
01:35:30.279 --> 01:35:33.520
the back end of the first round, early second, and
1627
01:35:33.600 --> 01:35:37.000
it'll kill your season. It won't do as much damage
1628
01:35:37.039 --> 01:35:41.119
when you're looking at back of the third sometime in
1629
01:35:41.159 --> 01:35:44.960
the fourth, you know you've already established a core of
1630
01:35:45.000 --> 01:35:51.359
two to three players. But again, I just don't there's
1631
01:35:51.399 --> 01:35:53.560
too much risk. There's too much risk there for me,
1632
01:35:53.680 --> 01:35:56.560
there really is, and we've talked about it for years.
1633
01:35:56.920 --> 01:36:00.439
I shouldn't have I shouldn't have taken him this year.
1634
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:04.840
I really shouldn't. Yeah, leagues, I was I was betting.
1635
01:36:04.880 --> 01:36:07.880
I was betting. I was betting on something where if
1636
01:36:07.920 --> 01:36:10.800
it didn't happen, I would put myself into serious trouble.
1637
01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:12.399
And that's just a bit too much risk.
1638
01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:16.039
Yeah, nobody's a bigger fan of Jordan Everest coming up
1639
01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:18.479
than I did him every Dynasty League. I hadmial zero
1640
01:36:18.560 --> 01:36:21.479
Dynasty Leagues. At the moment, I just decided to sell
1641
01:36:21.560 --> 01:36:24.479
high on him and uh, you know, just just move on.
1642
01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:26.279
The same thing with Jacob de crom I sold high
1643
01:36:26.279 --> 01:36:29.279
on him too, and that worked out well because he
1644
01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:32.119
got hurt and he's still a great pitcher. But I mean,
1645
01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:34.359
at some point you just got to move on from
1646
01:36:34.359 --> 01:36:37.520
these guys. And I think, but still he's a good player,
1647
01:36:37.560 --> 01:36:40.359
And if you get them late enough, then the thirty
1648
01:36:40.399 --> 01:36:43.479
home runs, if you've already got at that juncture eighty book,
1649
01:36:43.560 --> 01:36:46.119
then all of a sudden, it's it's not so worrisome
1650
01:36:46.119 --> 01:36:47.079
if he doesn't do thirty.
1651
01:36:48.199 --> 01:36:50.640
Yeah, you can. You can find guys on the waiver
1652
01:36:50.720 --> 01:36:55.319
wire that'll lad twenty home runs, okay, and you still
1653
01:36:55.399 --> 01:36:58.199
have that core built into your team from the first
1654
01:36:58.239 --> 01:37:03.319
three picks. So you got Pete Alonzo. Okay, yeah, yeah,
1655
01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:05.239
you can afford to take a chance on you. R.
1656
01:37:05.319 --> 01:37:10.039
Dan Alvarez, Okay, if you got two speedsters, Okay, not
1657
01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:13.560
so much, you know, CJ. Abrams, I just wanted to
1658
01:37:13.600 --> 01:37:16.920
mention quickly. Nineteen home runs the past three years eighteen
1659
01:37:17.000 --> 01:37:20.600
twenty nineteen, stolen bases forty seven, thirty one, thirty one.
1660
01:37:20.640 --> 01:37:23.680
The obp's only three fifteen two fifty seven average, but
1661
01:37:24.239 --> 01:37:30.159
ninety plus runs scored. I like CJ. Abrams. Okay, Yeah,
1662
01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:32.720
he made a mistake with the curfew thing. I think
1663
01:37:32.760 --> 01:37:35.239
he paid dependance and I don't think we'll see a
1664
01:37:35.279 --> 01:37:36.000
repeat that.
1665
01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:40.159
I'm pretty excited about this draft. We just did the
1666
01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:43.239
first three rounds because I'm looking at I mean, look,
1667
01:37:43.239 --> 01:37:46.319
PCA is still a great fantasy player. He's still on
1668
01:37:46.319 --> 01:37:48.880
the board. Your Dan Alvarez for everything that Tim went through,
1669
01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:53.880
still a great player is out there. Hunter Goodman thirty
1670
01:37:53.880 --> 01:37:56.359
one home runs last season. You he knew swore As
1671
01:37:56.960 --> 01:37:59.479
forty nine home runs. Still on the board. Bryce de Rang,
1672
01:37:59.600 --> 01:38:02.760
We showed incredible love for him. He's still on the board.
1673
01:38:02.840 --> 01:38:05.920
Christian Yell, It's still on the board. I mean, there's
1674
01:38:06.119 --> 01:38:08.640
really good players sitting here. In the fourth and fifth round,
1675
01:38:08.840 --> 01:38:10.079
and you know that there's going to be a run
1676
01:38:10.159 --> 01:38:13.560
on pitchers and closers in that fourth and fifth round.
1677
01:38:14.600 --> 01:38:19.720
Yeah, it's it's fascinating to take a look at an
1678
01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:21.840
early draft and like you look at the guy who
1679
01:38:21.840 --> 01:38:26.520
likes Suarez. Okay, I like Sz a lot. But you
1680
01:38:26.600 --> 01:38:28.920
know what you want with Surez is you want to
1681
01:38:28.960 --> 01:38:33.399
pair him up with a Wan Soto or a Lindo
1682
01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:35.520
or somebody with a good batting average. You don't want
1683
01:38:35.520 --> 01:38:37.680
to you don't want to pair sware Is up with
1684
01:38:37.800 --> 01:38:43.720
Kyle Schwarber. Right, Yeah, so I think I think Swarrez
1685
01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:47.840
is a fine pick. But again, there there's limitations. Same
1686
01:38:47.920 --> 01:38:55.159
with Pete Crow Armstrong. There's limitations there. There's flaws in
1687
01:38:55.239 --> 01:39:02.319
both those games, okay, and you can only you gotta
1688
01:39:02.359 --> 01:39:04.159
push some of them down because of those laws.
1689
01:39:04.199 --> 01:39:05.680
I believe, I agree with you.
1690
01:39:05.800 --> 01:39:09.800
Yeah, yeah, it is fascinating though, when you start looking
1691
01:39:09.840 --> 01:39:14.760
at the way the way the teams are shaping up, Timmy.
1692
01:39:14.520 --> 01:39:16.479
That's rap. Let's take our final break it back and
1693
01:39:16.520 --> 01:39:18.359
find out what Tim's dound for dinner and figure out
1694
01:39:18.359 --> 01:39:31.039
what we're gonna do next week. Bring your prospect observers,
1695
01:39:31.319 --> 01:39:33.880
you saw the Cincinnati Reds and one of my favorite
1696
01:39:33.880 --> 01:39:36.479
systems in all of baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers, dropped this
1697
01:39:36.520 --> 01:39:40.039
past week. Next week we have a great another great
1698
01:39:40.039 --> 01:39:43.279
system with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and then a surprisingly strong
1699
01:39:43.399 --> 01:39:48.199
system with the Saint Louis Cardinals, and then the following week, Timmy,
1700
01:39:48.199 --> 01:39:51.279
you and I do a podcast where we talk about
1701
01:39:51.319 --> 01:39:54.800
the National League Central. So that's what we got playing
1702
01:39:54.880 --> 01:39:56.840
coming up. From the prospects standpoint, that'll be a lot
1703
01:39:56.840 --> 01:39:57.159
of fun.
1704
01:39:58.159 --> 01:40:00.640
Yeah, GJ. Weather Holds a hea make you top ten
1705
01:40:00.720 --> 01:40:01.239
with the Cards.
1706
01:40:03.640 --> 01:40:06.880
JJ weatherhold was number one obviously in cars. I think
1707
01:40:06.920 --> 01:40:10.079
he's number five or three in all of baseball.
1708
01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:13.039
So yeah, I was just being I was just mad
1709
01:40:13.079 --> 01:40:17.560
at I'm still chick they didn't bring them up.
1710
01:40:18.279 --> 01:40:25.399
Yeah yeah, Cardinals, Yeah yeah, but yeah, I mean, I
1711
01:40:25.840 --> 01:40:30.399
just love hate. Jesus in my day is just going
1712
01:40:30.479 --> 01:40:33.399
to be a superstar, and Connor Griffin is going to
1713
01:40:33.399 --> 01:40:36.560
be a superstar. There's some really really good young players
1714
01:40:37.039 --> 01:40:40.439
that just don't follow the mold of what we've seen
1715
01:40:40.479 --> 01:40:43.439
over the last few years. With some of these older
1716
01:40:43.479 --> 01:40:46.039
type of players that have spent some time in the
1717
01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:48.479
big list. Sometime in the minor leagues. These are guys
1718
01:40:48.520 --> 01:40:51.680
that are teenagers still and are flying through.
1719
01:40:52.199 --> 01:40:54.680
How old's Walcott isn't he a triple A now?
1720
01:40:54.800 --> 01:41:00.399
Or Walcott's nineteen he's at he's a triple A. So
1721
01:41:00.439 --> 01:41:02.920
by the way, got a got a note from a
1722
01:41:03.000 --> 01:41:08.279
Pittsburgh Pirate somebody in their front office saying that Seth Henderson,
1723
01:41:08.359 --> 01:41:13.520
who I'll talk about on Tuesday, is in the Dominican's
1724
01:41:13.920 --> 01:41:16.880
Winter League or not. The Winter League got start off
1725
01:41:16.920 --> 01:41:19.600
so training to the Dominican throwing one hundred miles an hour.
1726
01:41:19.840 --> 01:41:23.920
So so yes, the Pittsburgh Pirates yet with another guy
1727
01:41:24.000 --> 01:41:28.600
that throws heavy, heavy heat. So pretty exciting when you
1728
01:41:28.600 --> 01:41:31.319
think about what the Pittsburgh Pirates are putting together. I
1729
01:41:31.359 --> 01:41:33.520
don't know if they'll ever get to the top, Timmy,
1730
01:41:33.560 --> 01:41:35.880
but they got some good players.
1731
01:41:36.560 --> 01:41:41.960
Yeah, Walcott's still nineteen, he's only a double A. Yeah. Yeah,
1732
01:41:41.960 --> 01:41:44.319
he'll start the season at dribble A probably.
1733
01:41:44.520 --> 01:41:50.600
Same age, same classes. Ethan Sallas came up and Walcott's
1734
01:41:50.600 --> 01:41:53.680
passed him, man because he's in Salas just got rushed
1735
01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:58.720
and I got hurt and yeah struggled, Timmy. That was
1736
01:41:58.760 --> 01:42:01.439
a great show, hope everybody he enjoyed it. What's for dinner?
1737
01:42:02.760 --> 01:42:06.680
What's for dinner? Well, it's uh, it looks like it's
1738
01:42:06.920 --> 01:42:12.920
uh turkey and ham, because uh, this is our Thanksgiving weekend.
1739
01:42:13.039 --> 01:42:16.960
So happy Thanksgiving to all, Yeah to all our Canadian listeners.
1740
01:42:17.199 --> 01:42:19.199
And the reason I said I thank you for going
1741
01:42:19.319 --> 01:42:24.399
long is because, yeah, it's not that I don't want overbone.
1742
01:42:24.439 --> 01:42:29.800
But you know, my Georgie's family is great, but I've
1743
01:42:29.880 --> 01:42:33.760
rather talk baseball. To be honest with you, I kill
1744
01:42:33.760 --> 01:42:34.680
another half hours.
1745
01:42:34.760 --> 01:42:37.439
So so when was the big meal? Was it? Is
1746
01:42:37.439 --> 01:42:37.880
it today?
1747
01:42:38.199 --> 01:42:40.000
It's today?
1748
01:42:40.359 --> 01:42:43.039
Oh my gosh, I don't feel guilty.
1749
01:42:43.760 --> 01:42:47.680
Why I don't know. Sorry, I've already got I've already
1750
01:42:47.680 --> 01:42:51.960
got a serious migraine coming on for around seven o'clock Central. Okay,
1751
01:42:52.359 --> 01:42:54.000
has nothing to do with the Jay's playing.
1752
01:42:54.079 --> 01:42:58.359
But we all, we all, we all have in law
1753
01:42:58.359 --> 01:43:02.359
as my friend, we all, we all stand anything more.
1754
01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:06.840
Uh So, so like turkey, turkey and ham both.
1755
01:43:06.640 --> 01:43:10.720
Wow, Turkey and ham and all of fixing. There'll be
1756
01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:14.760
some Brogi's in there and yeah I gotta have that
1757
01:43:14.800 --> 01:43:18.520
with a holiday and some dress and all all all
1758
01:43:18.600 --> 01:43:19.239
the good stuff.
1759
01:43:19.960 --> 01:43:23.479
Awesome. We had brunch today with the family, so big
1760
01:43:23.520 --> 01:43:27.800
meal at lunchtime, so probably just just nibbling away on
1761
01:43:27.920 --> 01:43:30.159
just whatever's in the refrigerator, which isn't a lot because
1762
01:43:30.159 --> 01:43:31.760
this is our last week here, so we don't have
1763
01:43:31.840 --> 01:43:33.760
a lot in the refrigerators. So I don't know what
1764
01:43:33.800 --> 01:43:35.600
we're gonna do. So we have to figure that out.
1765
01:43:35.720 --> 01:43:39.159
So you can go to that rest or, that restaurant
1766
01:43:39.199 --> 01:43:42.000
downstairs that you like so much, Well.
1767
01:43:41.880 --> 01:43:44.199
There's many of them downstairs. If we go to Roots,
1768
01:43:44.239 --> 01:43:46.600
that's a lot of food. So that's a big steakhouse
1769
01:43:47.199 --> 01:43:49.159
that's the one down there, and a pizza joints in
1770
01:43:49.199 --> 01:43:53.319
our and our building as well, so those are two
1771
01:43:53.319 --> 01:43:56.640
of our go to so and it might be rain already,
1772
01:43:56.640 --> 01:43:57.960
so I'm not sure what we're gonna do.
1773
01:43:58.239 --> 01:44:02.960
So well, like you said, the fridge is getting gotta
1774
01:44:02.960 --> 01:44:05.399
have it cleaned out in a few days, so I'm
1775
01:44:05.399 --> 01:44:06.479
sure you'll find something.
1776
01:44:06.680 --> 01:44:09.119
I got my annual blood work too on Wednesday, so
1777
01:44:09.119 --> 01:44:11.720
I don't wanna, don't want to over indulge too much,
1778
01:44:11.760 --> 01:44:14.760
and my blood work comes back there's a there's a
1779
01:44:14.840 --> 01:44:17.359
chicken leg floating around in here, will, so what's going on.
1780
01:44:20.319 --> 01:44:24.000
Yeah, it's funny because I do the same thing when
1781
01:44:24.119 --> 01:44:26.159
I know I got blood work coming up. I don't
1782
01:44:26.159 --> 01:44:29.680
eat no sugar, okay, no chocolate, no junk food for
1783
01:44:29.720 --> 01:44:32.760
about four days before get the blood work done. Everything's good.
1784
01:44:32.800 --> 01:44:36.720
Everything way home from the from the, from the from
1785
01:44:36.760 --> 01:44:39.039
the you're eating junk food on the way home. Man,
1786
01:44:39.119 --> 01:44:39.720
we all do it.
1787
01:44:39.800 --> 01:44:42.359
So I got a chocolate bar in each hand. Yep,
1788
01:44:42.399 --> 01:44:43.920
but here we go, there we.
1789
01:44:43.880 --> 01:44:46.199
Go, Timmy good stuff, my friend. We will see you
1790
01:44:46.359 --> 01:44:49.000
next Sunday. Everybody, have a good week and enjoy the games.
1791
01:44:50.119 --> 01:44:54.720
Be safe, be well, and go Jays and brewers
