00:11.856 --> 00:25.920 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, welcome back to another episode of the baseball America fantasy podcast is your host Jeff Ponce alongside me as always is my co-host Dylan White, the master of the Robo Scout or as he'll say, maybe Robo Scout is his master.

00:27.490 --> 00:28.471 [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.

00:28.831 --> 00:30.613 [SPEAKER_01]: Equal opportunity partnership.

00:32.215 --> 00:34.197 [SPEAKER_01]: It was Canada day yesterday.

00:34.217 --> 00:36.599 [SPEAKER_01]: I know you guys are here and up for your Fourth of July.

00:36.699 --> 00:38.021 [SPEAKER_01]: So Canada day.

00:38.521 --> 00:39.042 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, thank you.

00:39.642 --> 00:42.325 [SPEAKER_01]: Celebrating our our donations.

00:43.546 --> 00:44.928 [SPEAKER_00]: Simco General Simco.

00:45.168 --> 00:46.770 [SPEAKER_00]: Is that your George Washington?

00:48.371 --> 00:49.412 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's up there, I think.

00:50.683 --> 00:52.625 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not that familiar with the Canadian history.

00:52.705 --> 00:53.906 [SPEAKER_01]: There's like Isaac Brock.

00:53.966 --> 00:55.087 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's some stuff.

00:55.348 --> 00:56.849 [SPEAKER_01]: Johnny McDonald was the first.

00:57.389 --> 01:03.175 [SPEAKER_00]: Simcoe is the villain in the Ian Khan television show Turned Washington Spice.

01:03.655 --> 01:10.341 [SPEAKER_00]: He's like big nasty villainous, sadistic English soldier.

01:11.022 --> 01:14.004 [SPEAKER_00]: So they find out he's a George Washington owner.

01:14.024 --> 01:15.666 [SPEAKER_00]: Like the juxtaposition.

01:17.093 --> 01:19.194 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, everyone's a hero of their own story.

01:19.214 --> 01:21.775 [SPEAKER_01]: So up here, maybe he's a hero in Washington's development.

01:22.795 --> 01:25.136 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that's what it is.

01:25.696 --> 01:26.756 [SPEAKER_01]: We never like cherry trees.

01:27.856 --> 01:32.418 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, and he turned over the, the, the, the creates a maple syrup at the border or something.

01:32.618 --> 01:34.819 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was happy about that.

01:35.319 --> 01:38.180 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's, let's talk a little bit about baseball.

01:38.240 --> 01:39.860 [SPEAKER_00]: That's why we're here and gathered today.

01:40.740 --> 01:43.241 [SPEAKER_00]: Spencer Schwannenbach bad news Dylan.

01:44.342 --> 01:45.422 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a broken elbow.

01:51.177 --> 01:54.159 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not great news on toilet book, obviously.

01:55.800 --> 01:58.081 [SPEAKER_00]: The brave's keep on taking hits.

01:59.001 --> 02:00.942 [SPEAKER_00]: Like hit after hit after hit.

02:01.063 --> 02:06.446 [SPEAKER_00]: It feels like it never sort of stops for this organization of late.

02:06.946 --> 02:08.367 [SPEAKER_00]: There's always a major injury.

02:10.628 --> 02:18.172 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, in elbow fracture, I mean, I suppose that's better than full Tommy John surgery, of course.

02:21.198 --> 02:24.701 [SPEAKER_00]: September, I think is what they're kind of saying at this point.

02:27.023 --> 02:46.158 [SPEAKER_00]: This is almost at the point where you kind of have to wonder if you're a schwannabock owner, if he somebody you package with another high-end prospect to try to upgrade a pitcher spot at this point because that's a big blow if you're a competitive team that owns Swallowmock.

02:47.383 --> 02:48.124 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, huge blow.

02:48.164 --> 02:51.586 [SPEAKER_01]: He was kind of getting into a nice groove there for a while.

02:52.888 --> 02:59.393 [SPEAKER_01]: Last thirty days, zero point eight three whip, three point zero.

02:59.653 --> 03:03.236 [SPEAKER_01]: He array, basically all the other area indicators around the same.

03:04.802 --> 03:13.444 [SPEAKER_01]: not giving up contact blah blah blah and just kind of in a role and kind of adrenaline was playing well when he was pitching.

03:13.484 --> 03:15.825 [SPEAKER_01]: So definitely and came out of the blue too.

03:15.865 --> 03:22.366 [SPEAKER_01]: Like it wasn't like you got hit by a line drive and we're holding our breath and like what's happening and having heard anything, but it just out of the blue.

03:22.426 --> 03:26.047 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like he was sore and then oh, they found a fracture or maybe September.

03:26.187 --> 03:29.828 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I mean elbows of a pitcher, not good ever.

03:32.004 --> 03:34.025 [SPEAKER_00]: And he had Tommy John surgery at a college.

03:34.045 --> 03:34.645 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

03:34.665 --> 03:36.085 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure everybody remembers.

03:36.225 --> 03:40.326 [SPEAKER_00]: So he was a short stop at a closer didn't even have that many innings in the arm.

03:41.607 --> 03:51.009 [SPEAKER_00]: Came back, you know, last couple, three years now off the surgery has actually been really durable and made a lot of starts had a lot of innings in that arm.

03:52.470 --> 03:59.592 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's kind of wonder, you know, what the consequences of the first surgery might be now, you know, and the inning build up.

04:00.267 --> 04:02.289 [SPEAKER_00]: I guess she never know right from player to player.

04:02.469 --> 04:09.597 [SPEAKER_00]: It depends, but yeah, I think it also puts now that there's a second elbow injury, even though it is not Tommy John surgery.

04:10.618 --> 04:15.583 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it kind of takes a little shine off a swollen back a little bit as well.

04:16.064 --> 04:18.166 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's the shine off.

04:18.806 --> 04:22.010 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the shrine, you know, the shrine is off the rose.

04:23.169 --> 04:30.235 [SPEAKER_01]: I think like a week ago, I think he probably could have received like he is a top ten dynasty picture.

04:30.255 --> 04:30.355 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

04:30.375 --> 04:33.497 [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a type of package you would have to put together.

04:33.578 --> 04:33.838 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

04:33.878 --> 04:42.945 [SPEAKER_01]: Now it's like a second yellow injury out of the blue and like not career in jeopardy, but definitely cast some merciness over his future.

04:43.045 --> 04:46.748 [SPEAKER_01]: So like just how quickly the value can just disintegrate of a picture.

04:47.429 --> 04:47.669 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

04:48.430 --> 04:51.612 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's definitely a risky one.

04:53.088 --> 04:59.150 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, because if you keep on sustaining injuries right there, it's not the best news, of course.

05:01.251 --> 05:08.013 [SPEAKER_00]: Christian Moore, exited tonight's game with an apparent injury as well.

05:10.054 --> 05:35.254 [SPEAKER_00]: more I mean kind of inconsistent but at the same time certainly you know an interesting player it looks like he broke his hand to it was on a ground ball up the middle he wants to make a diving catch and when he hit the ground it looks like he came right down in his wrist and sort of wences and pain turns over grabs his hand so yeah I I think it's probably going to be

05:36.230 --> 05:48.179 [SPEAKER_00]: a wrist injury, a ham and injury, hand injury, something along those lines, the best you can hope for is that you just sort of hyper extended it, but it's probably a bone, not when you guys fall hard like that.

05:48.299 --> 06:00.708 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's, I mean, he's still young enough, and honestly at this point, I don't think any of us, we expected and anticipated he would be here, but if you had been with any other organization, he's probably in AA right now.

06:01.245 --> 06:07.751 [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know if it hurts as Dynasty value missing some time is what I guess I'm trying to get to because he was drafted less than a year ago.

06:11.020 --> 06:16.164 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I think, yeah, dynasty value probably is not that big of a deal.

06:16.544 --> 06:22.049 [SPEAKER_01]: And even this year, I don't think people were relying on him to help carry them to victory.

06:22.109 --> 06:24.331 [SPEAKER_01]: It was nice that he's starting like every day.

06:25.812 --> 06:28.134 [SPEAKER_01]: But he's not doing that great.

06:29.095 --> 06:34.459 [SPEAKER_01]: All the things we saw in the miners were a lot of swing and mess and and good power and can really get a hold of some

06:34.859 --> 06:35.699 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, fast balls.

06:36.419 --> 06:38.060 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not so good on the breaking balls.

06:38.100 --> 06:43.041 [SPEAKER_01]: I was kind of showing up, but you know, he was kind of he was kind of stabilizing and getting into a bit of a groove.

06:43.061 --> 06:43.922 [SPEAKER_01]: So it is a bit of a hit.

06:44.002 --> 06:46.942 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I don't think it will affect the dynasty value too great.

06:47.382 --> 06:48.143 [SPEAKER_01]: I still like him.

06:48.223 --> 06:48.883 [SPEAKER_01]: He's still young.

06:48.923 --> 06:50.443 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not even twenty three yet.

06:52.064 --> 07:00.246 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think, you know, maybe if someone had more and they're trying to compete, you know, maybe you can, you can, it's like a buy low opportunity if you're out of it.

07:01.378 --> 07:04.220 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Dylan, I'm going to put you on the spot a little bit here.

07:04.820 --> 07:11.124 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to give you a second to go, and if you have the opportunity, pull the future games or rosters in front of you.

07:11.984 --> 07:14.786 [SPEAKER_00]: Because I've talked about the future's game with JJ.

07:15.886 --> 07:21.109 [SPEAKER_00]: I was on the socks prospects podcast with my good friend Ian Kendall earlier today.

07:21.690 --> 07:23.651 [SPEAKER_00]: He asked me about the future's game or rosters.

07:24.191 --> 07:27.093 [SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to like, you know, turn the tables here a little bit.

07:27.493 --> 07:29.875 [SPEAKER_00]: I want to ask somebody else about the future's game rosters.

07:30.456 --> 07:32.858 [SPEAKER_00]: So if you've, I bought you enough time to pull those out.

07:32.878 --> 07:34.119 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm trying to find them.

07:34.700 --> 07:36.402 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm baseball America dot com.

07:36.462 --> 07:37.923 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm on baseball America dot com.

07:38.003 --> 07:39.264 [SPEAKER_00]: Use your homepage.

07:40.025 --> 07:44.990 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you can find it right down there inside of probably minor league articles.

07:45.590 --> 07:46.751 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a little little preview.

07:48.413 --> 07:53.436 [SPEAKER_00]: We dig into, actually it's, it's, we help to write the programs every year.

07:53.576 --> 08:01.402 [SPEAKER_00]: So we provide the blurbs and then obviously post those same blurbs to describe the players that are in the game.

08:01.582 --> 08:04.604 [SPEAKER_00]: So, no, if you found that yet or not.

08:04.844 --> 08:10.308 [SPEAKER_00]: I did, I did because we had some going to Kevin Polar announcing his retirement or Sonny to charm.

08:10.969 --> 08:12.290 [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, where am I material?

08:12.310 --> 08:13.631 [SPEAKER_00]: What was going at this point, don't you?

08:13.931 --> 08:14.912 [SPEAKER_00]: Good, so let me ask you.

08:15.915 --> 08:19.356 [SPEAKER_00]: which players position players and then pitchers?

08:19.996 --> 08:22.196 [SPEAKER_00]: Are you most excited to see in this year's futures game, Dylan?

08:23.436 --> 08:24.337 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's see here.

08:24.377 --> 08:29.978 [SPEAKER_01]: So the American League, Sebastian Walcott jumps out to me right away.

08:29.998 --> 08:33.698 [SPEAKER_01]: I think all the tigers I want to see.

08:33.998 --> 08:36.199 [SPEAKER_01]: Percenio, McGonagul, Max Clarke.

08:36.239 --> 08:40.640 [SPEAKER_01]: I think McGonagul and Clarke's, one of the better dynamic duo's in an organization.

08:40.660 --> 08:42.020 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to see them playing together.

08:43.384 --> 08:46.928 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, a couple of good guys here that I like to see Carter Jensen.

08:46.948 --> 08:50.312 [SPEAKER_01]: I've always liked his big Robo Scout favorite for the Royals.

08:51.293 --> 08:52.514 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and George Lombard.

08:52.534 --> 08:56.339 [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't mind seeing taking some, uh, some reps at short there.

08:56.379 --> 08:57.320 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's the American League.

08:58.101 --> 08:59.602 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, National League.

09:00.383 --> 09:02.606 [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Zeus mod day, of course, have to.

09:03.887 --> 09:13.635 [SPEAKER_01]: The pair Dodgers, Hoastway to Paula, as I hear hope that jumps out at me, Jonah Tall, and I want to see him pitch against some high pedigree talent.

09:13.655 --> 09:14.276 [SPEAKER_01]: That'll be nice.

09:14.296 --> 09:16.537 [SPEAKER_01]: This is naturally team I really like here.

09:18.079 --> 09:21.261 [SPEAKER_01]: Each name is jumping out at me, Connor Griffin, of course.

09:21.281 --> 09:22.362 [SPEAKER_01]: It's what I want to eat.

09:22.462 --> 09:24.844 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to see Leo de Vries, South Stewart.

09:24.864 --> 09:26.866 [SPEAKER_01]: I have a soft spot in my heart for South Stewart as well.

09:27.806 --> 09:30.168 [SPEAKER_01]: For his Roblescat shenanigans.

09:31.209 --> 09:33.091 [SPEAKER_01]: And let's pick one more here.

09:33.111 --> 09:36.193 [SPEAKER_01]: Travis, the core of the nationals has been kind of amazing.

09:36.213 --> 09:38.314 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're three the names off the nationally.

09:38.374 --> 09:41.016 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I got this going alphabetically.

09:41.597 --> 09:48.482 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like it's that is almost every kind of prospect in every prospect, almost from every organization you want to see.

09:48.822 --> 09:56.788 [SPEAKER_00]: handful of guys that kind of fill in, you understand where Markey's Christian Juniors there is dad's actually coaching the American League roster long time brave himself.

09:58.229 --> 09:59.910 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I think it's a great event.

09:59.930 --> 10:01.531 [SPEAKER_00]: We won't spend too much time on it.

10:01.912 --> 10:02.672 [SPEAKER_00]: You can tune in.

10:02.752 --> 10:04.934 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll be there live in Atlanta with JJ.

10:05.634 --> 10:09.295 [SPEAKER_00]: I have, you know, haze use some of the other team members from for baseball America.

10:09.996 --> 10:10.756 [SPEAKER_00]: Really fun event.

10:10.796 --> 10:15.137 [SPEAKER_00]: I think my favorite part of it honestly is is the batting practice.

10:16.518 --> 10:31.743 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, JJ and I kind of, and this predates me going to baseball America, but JJ and I sort of lay out a little sketch drawing of the outfield wall and like the con courses or whatever might be behind that area kind of like measure where the home runs go.

10:32.303 --> 10:34.724 [SPEAKER_00]: how many home runs are hit by each hitter?

10:35.124 --> 10:37.025 [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of we keep a tally of that as well.

10:37.805 --> 10:47.268 [SPEAKER_00]: So the big power hitters are the guys that are almost excited to see Lazaro Montes, you know, the password, you know, John Snixon Garcia.

10:48.648 --> 10:52.452 [SPEAKER_00]: Those guys with the huge power kind of riff and I think we'll probably put in a show as well.

10:53.233 --> 11:01.861 [SPEAKER_00]: Those are the ones I'm most gasped up to see because I think those are the guys that can really put in a show and batting practice and maybe put up some big totals.

11:02.302 --> 11:04.184 [SPEAKER_00]: One of the Alzheimer's was in Seattle.

11:04.844 --> 11:10.190 [SPEAKER_00]: James Wood, we have Bree House who hit as many homeruns as just about anybody.

11:11.210 --> 11:12.070 [SPEAKER_00]: That was really exciting.

11:12.090 --> 11:19.692 [SPEAKER_00]: And then if Dodger Stadium, it was a big Christmas tree and joined Kenzie Noelle against Francisco Alvarez.

11:20.473 --> 11:28.575 [SPEAKER_00]: Just in terms of raw power and all the fields power and impressive batting practices, both of those guys, really get the star.

11:28.635 --> 11:32.376 [SPEAKER_00]: Because they were hitting some mood shots in addition to hitting them over the fence.

11:32.416 --> 11:33.896 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's not just totals.

11:33.956 --> 11:36.917 [SPEAKER_00]: It's also style points on the big home runs.

11:36.977 --> 11:38.818 [SPEAKER_00]: The big, long, deep ones.

11:39.158 --> 11:39.718 [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

11:40.418 --> 11:49.481 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't know if there's any other topics, any other injuries, anything else you think we need to bring up here before we dive into our main topic of the show today.

11:50.802 --> 11:51.462 [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's good.

11:51.482 --> 11:53.683 [SPEAKER_01]: I do want to hear about your Polar take.

11:55.209 --> 11:58.050 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't have the beach all the time, right?

11:58.610 --> 12:00.170 [SPEAKER_00]: Congrats on a great career, man.

12:00.230 --> 12:02.291 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, played a lot of good defense.

12:02.331 --> 12:13.614 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're a valuable player, valuable hitter at times, even, maybe not super valuable, but, you know, for the defense that you provided, like, you know, congratulations.

12:14.074 --> 12:22.797 [SPEAKER_00]: You're kind of a wave of a wire like Hotshamatato guy that you pick up from time to time in a twelve team league when he's got good home matchups and he's been hit lately, you know.

12:24.018 --> 12:25.519 [SPEAKER_00]: for a lot of years for a decade, you know?

12:26.861 --> 12:30.565 [SPEAKER_00]: Over time, eventually, you're probably accumulating some decent stats from a guy like that.

12:30.685 --> 12:32.267 [SPEAKER_00]: But we're going to take a break.

12:32.287 --> 12:37.012 [SPEAKER_00]: When we come back, we're going to be talking about a bunch of young prospects in the major leagues.

12:37.352 --> 12:38.613 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to put doing on the hot seat.

12:38.874 --> 12:44.640 [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to discuss, discuss is the where I'm looking to say, buy or sell, we write back.

12:46.790 --> 13:11.008 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, and we are back Dylan, as I mentioned, we're talking some young prospects who are currently in the major leagues, some have full-time roles, some have part-time roles, some of these guys are pitchers, meaning some are starters, some are bullet pen pieces, kind of across the board, but I think all players that will be talking about some dynasty context for at least the next five to six years, if not long beyond that.

13:12.208 --> 13:21.192 [SPEAKER_00]: Not going after big stars here, but there's plenty of notable, I'll say, back end of the top one, hundred-type prospects when these guys were in their prospect, hey, day.

13:22.332 --> 13:29.295 [SPEAKER_00]: Most of these guys haven't graduated a couple of them have, couple of them are on the fringes, couple of them have just had a few games in the major league.

13:29.355 --> 13:32.256 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of a grab-back, we're grabbing from a bunch of different names.

13:32.777 --> 13:36.398 [SPEAKER_00]: First name we're going to talk about here, Dylan, is Kyle Teale.

13:39.239 --> 13:40.680 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's had any home runs yet.

13:41.518 --> 13:45.159 [SPEAKER_00]: And we did see he's been historically a slow starter at every new level.

13:45.179 --> 13:49.161 [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like he was slow at AAA, eventually got that going this year.

13:50.181 --> 13:54.602 [SPEAKER_00]: Slow in the majors early, we know he's got defensive value behind the plate.

13:55.703 --> 14:03.585 [SPEAKER_00]: Probably a better catcher than Quero, but with Teele, are you a buy or a sell right now with him?

14:03.725 --> 14:07.447 [SPEAKER_00]: And I guess it might depend upon your team construct as well.

14:11.852 --> 14:15.714 [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have a very solid, majorly career.

14:17.055 --> 14:17.736 [SPEAKER_01]: He is warming up.

14:17.776 --> 14:19.937 [SPEAKER_01]: He's a one thirty one WRC plus right now.

14:19.957 --> 14:21.398 [SPEAKER_01]: The contacts.

14:22.258 --> 14:23.899 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, Bill rates better.

14:23.919 --> 14:26.661 [SPEAKER_01]: He's got good on base good.

14:27.662 --> 14:31.424 [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of managing the strike zone taking his walks is a four ten on base last thirty days.

14:32.945 --> 14:36.529 [SPEAKER_01]: But I think he's kind of getting buzz now.

14:36.910 --> 14:46.080 [SPEAKER_01]: And so I feel that he's kind of surpassed Edgar Quero on the on the depth chart as was probably suspected for the white socks.

14:47.041 --> 14:53.708 [SPEAKER_01]: And so I think the the owners of Kyle Teele are kind of getting more and bold into their they're happy to see that he's kind of

14:54.236 --> 14:57.597 [SPEAKER_01]: running with the job and it looks like it's going to be his for a while.

14:58.137 --> 14:59.478 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's going to be hard to get them.

14:59.538 --> 15:02.679 [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't see superstar at him for him.

15:02.719 --> 15:06.300 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see huge like all star kind of offensive performance.

15:06.460 --> 15:15.122 [SPEAKER_01]: I see like kind of solid, you know, to fifty to sixty batting average, you know, fifteen to twenty homeruns type of thing.

15:16.423 --> 15:17.303 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe some steals too.

15:18.003 --> 15:24.929 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, won't hurt you at all, the back end of a, of a catcher one, definitely a good catcher two in a, in a two catcher league.

15:25.409 --> 15:31.655 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just a solid performer and I'm kind of happy to see that he's, he's not floundering in his, in his start.

15:37.562 --> 15:40.604 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that's a good summary.

15:41.124 --> 15:54.751 [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, you know, I think it's always tough with catchers too, because there's so many other things that can impact the offensive game that necessarily somebody you want to invest a lot into, but can be a valuable piece when it's all going well.

15:54.791 --> 16:03.256 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, obviously, if they're providing it offensive, you've seen with Cal Rally and others over the years, can be really valuable.

16:03.776 --> 16:06.458 [SPEAKER_00]: Next name I want to throw here at you, Dylan, is

16:07.289 --> 16:13.893 [SPEAKER_00]: Another guy that kind of hung out around is a prospect for quite a while, but he's still very young.

16:14.373 --> 16:16.114 [SPEAKER_00]: That's Breat House of the Nationals.

16:16.134 --> 16:17.595 [SPEAKER_00]: It's been up for a few weeks.

16:17.655 --> 16:18.675 [SPEAKER_00]: He's getting some run.

16:19.896 --> 16:23.398 [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of been solid, but not great performance.

16:25.259 --> 16:26.360 [SPEAKER_00]: What's your take on Breat House?

16:28.131 --> 16:28.672 [SPEAKER_01]: He's fine.

16:28.852 --> 16:29.412 [SPEAKER_01]: He's okay.

16:31.093 --> 16:34.135 [SPEAKER_01]: He is playing okay defense.

16:34.175 --> 16:38.878 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think he's getting, you know, he's kind of established a playing time floor on some level.

16:40.139 --> 16:42.120 [SPEAKER_01]: The batting hour we don't think is ever going to be great.

16:43.661 --> 16:45.502 [SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't seem to take that many walks either.

16:45.522 --> 16:48.544 [SPEAKER_01]: It could be just a product of him being young.

16:49.845 --> 16:52.026 [SPEAKER_01]: But I, you know, I see like twenty home run power.

16:54.475 --> 16:56.577 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't think it's going to be this year, but he does that.

16:57.678 --> 17:02.243 [SPEAKER_01]: And you know, kind of a league average hitter who plays pretty good defensive third.

17:03.143 --> 17:05.626 [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, he's just kind of a solid player.

17:06.046 --> 17:08.709 [SPEAKER_01]: He's again, he's not like an all star for me.

17:08.729 --> 17:12.873 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see him doing like twenty five to thirty homerons and you know, flirting with like.

17:13.153 --> 17:14.153 [SPEAKER_01]: to eighty batting average.

17:14.193 --> 17:16.114 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see that really in this future.

17:17.435 --> 17:25.237 [SPEAKER_01]: But kind of like a solid kind of what Josh Young ended up being rather than what we'd hope Josh Young would be.

17:26.198 --> 17:31.979 [SPEAKER_01]: So just kind of back end third base in a fifteen team maybe a corner.

17:33.620 --> 17:35.661 [SPEAKER_01]: But he could always take a step forward, because he's still very young.

17:35.741 --> 17:42.925 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think there's an opportunity to buy low, and because I think you could, you could get him for pretty cheap.

17:43.105 --> 17:45.146 [SPEAKER_01]: You can get him for much cheaper than Kyle Thiel, I would imagine.

17:46.107 --> 17:50.089 [SPEAKER_01]: And probably cheaper than some of the other guys who we may mention today.

17:50.249 --> 17:52.410 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he's fine.

17:52.450 --> 17:52.891 [SPEAKER_01]: He's solid.

17:52.931 --> 17:53.611 [SPEAKER_01]: He's solid.

17:53.671 --> 17:58.754 [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't be selling him because I don't think he's performing at all, and I don't see a future.

17:59.354 --> 18:00.415 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a situation like that.

18:01.335 --> 18:07.320 [SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, kind of temporary expectations and you know, you'll be a pretty solid contributor for for a while, hopefully.

18:08.461 --> 18:10.062 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hundred percent.

18:11.443 --> 18:16.587 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I think like it's very league-dependent in an OVP league or points league.

18:16.647 --> 18:18.388 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of adverse to the house.

18:19.534 --> 18:21.015 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it is going to take some time.

18:21.196 --> 18:40.995 [SPEAKER_00]: It might be a few years and some adjustments in approach that he finally sort of balances it all out and the tricots drop, maybe because he's chasing a little bit less the walks come up and he might even find like more consistent power because I do think the raw power ability is in there.

18:42.276 --> 18:43.137 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just a matter of

18:44.621 --> 18:50.923 [SPEAKER_00]: kind of refining the profile, which it's funny for a guy that there was a high school pick, you know, was highly touted.

18:51.003 --> 18:58.446 [SPEAKER_00]: It was at all the events had access to, you know, whatever he needed and has had some time in the minors.

18:58.526 --> 19:02.227 [SPEAKER_00]: He's still fairly raw at the major league level.

19:02.247 --> 19:04.568 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's sort of funny from an approach standpoint.

19:05.307 --> 19:09.248 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, it feels like Brady House is a little bit more of a sell for both of us.

19:10.089 --> 19:16.711 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he throw his, sorry to interrupt, but throw his money league career in quotes.

19:17.811 --> 19:19.352 [SPEAKER_01]: He never really popped on Robo Scout.

19:19.412 --> 19:28.715 [SPEAKER_01]: Like every week, I'm doing Robo Scout and no matter what level no matter what year there was never like a week or a month or whatever where he's constantly hovering near the top ten or whatever of any level.

19:29.515 --> 19:30.856 [SPEAKER_01]: He would never really pop in.

19:32.217 --> 19:37.662 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm always kind of been lukewarm, but I mean, he's very young and, you know, he has the power in the back like he said.

19:37.722 --> 19:40.184 [SPEAKER_01]: So he can always put it together.

19:41.726 --> 19:52.375 [SPEAKER_00]: The next name we're going to throw out here now is a picture who was from a high school ranks kind of hung around for a little while, the twenty twenty draft that would be Mick Abel.

19:53.856 --> 19:54.557 [SPEAKER_00]: Feel like, you know,

19:55.465 --> 19:58.147 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been higher and lower at certain points.

19:58.967 --> 20:01.369 [SPEAKER_00]: He came up, the stuff was good, it played.

20:02.649 --> 20:10.534 [SPEAKER_00]: Some of the ERA estimators aren't kind, FIP does not like him, X-FIP does think his performance is pretty solid.

20:11.515 --> 20:15.718 [SPEAKER_00]: X-ERA does not like him at all.

20:16.138 --> 20:20.000 [SPEAKER_00]: And Sierra is more in line with X-FIP.

20:20.380 --> 20:22.141 [SPEAKER_00]: So take your pick of those.

20:23.154 --> 20:27.196 [SPEAKER_00]: The strikeouts haven't been what they were in AAA.

20:28.557 --> 20:31.979 [SPEAKER_00]: It's been about half or what it's kind of been throughout his career.

20:32.039 --> 20:34.021 [SPEAKER_00]: The command has been a lot better in the big leagues.

20:34.661 --> 20:36.422 [SPEAKER_00]: He's had a little bit of a home run problem.

20:36.462 --> 20:39.264 [SPEAKER_00]: It's five starts, twenty three and a third innings.

20:39.744 --> 20:40.965 [SPEAKER_00]: What are your thoughts on Mick Abel?

20:40.985 --> 20:47.208 [SPEAKER_00]: Because I think I can go a few different ways because the stuff is good, not great.

20:47.228 --> 20:49.250 [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of it is velocity-ated.

20:51.408 --> 20:54.994 [SPEAKER_00]: And I've always had questions with the secondaries and the quality.

20:56.376 --> 21:01.865 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, just like I said with Brady House, Mick Abel has never shown well on where was go to either.

21:02.506 --> 21:05.971 [SPEAKER_01]: He's never had sort of the strike out and walk ratio you want the stuff.

21:06.900 --> 21:11.143 [SPEAKER_01]: He's never really been that much, like hasn't really popped either.

21:11.343 --> 21:13.925 [SPEAKER_01]: He's got the velocity, like he said, but like the shapes aren't great.

21:15.886 --> 21:19.708 [SPEAKER_01]: So he has never been someone that I've been like itching to see debut.

21:19.728 --> 21:33.617 [SPEAKER_01]: And so when he did debut, when he had that pretty impressive start, I was very prepared to equal, but it's kind of come back down to Earth, kind of all the projections that Robusco kind of saw are kind of coming true now.

21:35.768 --> 21:38.089 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I'm not, I'm not so huge on him.

21:38.750 --> 21:40.731 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a tough rotation of crack.

21:41.871 --> 21:45.973 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, a lot of good pitching in Philadelphia and painter coming up to.

21:45.993 --> 21:50.416 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, they're probably going to trade for bullpen as well.

21:50.516 --> 21:57.399 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like a lot of mouths to feed throughout the entire pitching kind of core starters and and relievers.

21:58.140 --> 21:59.521 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, so he may kind of get lost in there.

21:59.541 --> 22:01.722 [SPEAKER_01]: So he's not someone I'm really jumping out to get.

22:03.303 --> 22:10.828 [SPEAKER_01]: I kind of think the like the scouting reports and the pedigree kind of surpassed any performance he's had.

22:10.888 --> 22:14.071 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm a bit tentative on buying into make able.

22:15.132 --> 22:23.638 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I will say like the pitching plus score is one o nine one ten plus stuff plus one o one location plus which isn't bad.

22:25.467 --> 22:27.048 [SPEAKER_00]: I think he needs to change the scenery.

22:27.128 --> 22:36.791 [SPEAKER_00]: I think like a less Homer friendly home ball park, I think would help him a little bit.

22:37.631 --> 22:53.276 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, an organization that's going to be able to give him consistent starts that, you know, isn't in a super competitive window that the fillies are right now, or they're, you know, contending for championships, not just the playoffs.

22:54.336 --> 23:05.281 [SPEAKER_00]: If he ended up in another location besides the Phillies, maybe it would hurt his win total, but ultimately might give him more opportunity to kind of flourish and figure it out.

23:05.301 --> 23:08.682 [SPEAKER_00]: I think if you're buying it on an table, you're not buying it on him.

23:10.323 --> 23:27.732 [SPEAKER_00]: While you're competing unless you've been ravaged by injuries and the price is right, I think it's more a rebuilding team you're trading away like an older position player that isn't part of your future core but has been productive whoever that might be and you get back able and like maybe a small, you know.

23:28.892 --> 23:34.694 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, lower level prospect of some ilk, you know, outside the top two, fifty and a list or something like that.

23:34.814 --> 23:38.796 [SPEAKER_00]: Like I kind of feel like that's maybe a good spot to buy able.

23:40.196 --> 23:47.899 [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I wouldn't be trying to plug any rookie pitcher particularly able and rely on him for anings down the stretch here.

23:49.179 --> 23:52.562 [SPEAKER_00]: as the season goes along, whether he is a spot in Philly or not.

23:53.162 --> 24:03.490 [SPEAKER_00]: Alright, the next name I wanted to bring up is an oldie, but goodie, one that you've always been a fan of, that is Ronnie Mauricio of the Metz.

24:04.771 --> 24:06.633 [SPEAKER_00]: What's your thoughts on Mr. Mauricio?

24:08.742 --> 24:17.070 [SPEAKER_01]: So he was another one that the scouting reports really liked him and he hadn't really performed for a long time.

24:17.090 --> 24:22.075 [SPEAKER_01]: And so I was kind of out on him and then he had kind of a big year, I guess, last year or two years ago.

24:23.596 --> 24:25.318 [SPEAKER_01]: And was really popping on RoboSco, as well.

24:25.358 --> 24:30.623 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, hmm, all right, this is someone who, you know, was kind of put it all together just like it was kind of predicted that he would.

24:32.665 --> 24:35.867 [SPEAKER_01]: As we know, he had that knee injury in the off season.

24:35.947 --> 24:48.495 [SPEAKER_01]: It's finally just kind of come back and he's kind of being the guy that the regression that we thought would happen after his kind of big major league debut.

24:49.155 --> 24:49.876 [SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of taking place.

24:49.896 --> 24:51.518 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not really walking that much.

24:52.099 --> 24:53.620 [SPEAKER_01]: So his OBP is never going to be high.

24:53.660 --> 24:54.642 [SPEAKER_01]: So an OBP leaks.

24:54.842 --> 24:59.667 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to be particularly adding value for you.

25:00.008 --> 25:00.929 [SPEAKER_01]: But it's power.

25:01.029 --> 25:01.750 [SPEAKER_01]: It's speed.

25:03.351 --> 25:05.374 [SPEAKER_01]: It looks like he's getting some run there with the mats.

25:05.414 --> 25:06.956 [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't been following exactly.

25:06.996 --> 25:07.977 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't really have them anywhere.

25:08.477 --> 25:11.099 [SPEAKER_01]: in any of the redraft leaks, so I haven't been following too closely.

25:12.260 --> 25:15.822 [SPEAKER_01]: Strikeout rate seems pretty high, but that's kind of what we expected.

25:17.183 --> 25:22.126 [SPEAKER_01]: That is what he does and then he gets a hold of what and then knocks it a million miles.

25:22.186 --> 25:26.028 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think he's pretty solid.

25:26.048 --> 25:31.512 [SPEAKER_01]: I think this year is kind of the getting his feet kind of getting his sea legs back.

25:32.813 --> 25:39.018 [SPEAKER_01]: playing every day, being in the majors, it's a contending team, so the middle of a penit race, so there's pressure there, and you're going to be part of that.

25:39.058 --> 25:44.363 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think this is going to be a good season for him to grow for his future, his career.

25:44.463 --> 25:47.225 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's actually a pretty good opportunity to buy a low.

25:49.087 --> 26:05.436 [SPEAKER_01]: especially in Roto League just because of the power speed blend is always going to be, I was going to be useful in head to head leagues or what like ObiP League's maybe it's not, uh, he's not going to be great, but you know, that might be an opportunity to buy him as well because, you know, it's kind of known that he's not an OBP machine.

26:05.496 --> 26:08.618 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, yeah, I think he's going to be a good solid.

26:09.258 --> 26:16.102 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think sometimes because like this in OBP League's go a little bit underrated points because they have that huge flow of game potential

26:16.843 --> 26:21.439 [SPEAKER_00]: with the power of the speed and, you know, of

26:21.978 --> 26:24.979 [SPEAKER_00]: Eventually the OBP could creep up a little bit.

26:25.159 --> 26:44.624 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, if we get close to like what his walk rate was, you know, in AAA this year, like if he can get to like an eight to nine percent walk rate and lower the strikeout rate to like the low twenties, which I think is totally possible kind of based on his history of taking some time to adjust and et cetera.

26:44.644 --> 26:47.005 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's also been quite a while since he was in game shape.

26:47.545 --> 27:02.879 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I do think there's like big blow potential with him even down the stretch of like things just kind of click his timings right and he has two weeks where he hits five home runs and a few triples and

27:03.520 --> 27:12.765 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, steals four or five bases, you know, and puts up a ton of counting stats like you just kind of has that ability to to kind of have like a banana's run.

27:12.885 --> 27:15.207 [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see when that happens.

27:15.227 --> 27:17.108 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, next name I want to bring up to you.

27:17.128 --> 27:25.393 [SPEAKER_00]: It's got that's about to graduate Mauricio actually just did graduate not too long ago is Kate Horton of the Cubs.

27:26.483 --> 27:29.224 [SPEAKER_00]: What is your take on Horton?

27:29.944 --> 27:32.786 [SPEAKER_00]: Twenty-three years old, missed some time with injuries.

27:32.806 --> 27:34.446 [SPEAKER_00]: It's back now.

27:34.466 --> 27:39.528 [SPEAKER_00]: It's been forty-five innings in the big leagues this year over nine appearances.

27:39.549 --> 27:41.990 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, command's been good.

27:42.770 --> 27:43.810 [SPEAKER_00]: Not a lot of strikeouts.

27:43.850 --> 27:47.712 [SPEAKER_00]: Another guy where the strikeouts haven't really translated similar to Mick Abel.

27:49.667 --> 27:56.150 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so two years ago, Pop and Unrobus got the stuff models really elect him as well.

27:56.211 --> 28:01.914 [SPEAKER_01]: Last year, the stuff backed up, he lost some velocity, lost some movement.

28:02.314 --> 28:07.997 [SPEAKER_01]: And then this year, it looks like he kind of split the difference, not quite all the way back, but better than last year.

28:08.017 --> 28:13.260 [SPEAKER_01]: I invested heavily in redraft leagues when he came up, I thought,

28:14.080 --> 28:21.784 [SPEAKER_01]: It was kind of a sneaky, a sneaky grab because his poor, most recent year was going to affect the projections.

28:21.824 --> 28:25.966 [SPEAKER_01]: And I kind of felt that, you know, he maybe he's closer to twenty twenty three, Kate Horton than twenty twenty four.

28:26.606 --> 28:27.567 [SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of disappointed me.

28:27.887 --> 28:33.310 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not getting the strikeouts, like he said, the stuff models aren't really loving what he's doing.

28:33.330 --> 28:37.032 [SPEAKER_00]: He's just, yeah, the fast balls are kind of bad.

28:37.092 --> 28:38.953 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like ninety one on the foreseem.

28:39.493 --> 28:41.295 [SPEAKER_00]: This is for stuff plus on fan graphs.

28:41.475 --> 28:43.377 [SPEAKER_00]: Eighty one for the sinker.

28:43.938 --> 28:46.360 [SPEAKER_00]: One fifteen on the slide or he has a curve ball as well.

28:46.400 --> 28:47.001 [SPEAKER_00]: It's one or two.

28:47.021 --> 28:49.283 [SPEAKER_00]: And even the location is like ninety nine.

28:49.383 --> 28:50.264 [SPEAKER_00]: So he's like fringy.

28:51.949 --> 28:55.311 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's weird like he's got like some cut on that fastball.

28:55.331 --> 28:57.192 [SPEAKER_01]: It's very odd shapes.

28:57.252 --> 29:00.834 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the the stuff models haven't kind of figured out how to handle those.

29:02.516 --> 29:03.576 [SPEAKER_01]: But he's not getting with anyways.

29:03.656 --> 29:06.918 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not like he's getting the performance that the stuff models can understand.

29:08.039 --> 29:09.460 [SPEAKER_01]: So he he's kind of.

29:11.248 --> 29:14.890 [SPEAKER_01]: I dropped in the redraft, like I picked up DDA for one day.

29:15.550 --> 29:22.273 [SPEAKER_01]: Just looking at my in-season metrics, I'm kind of looking like last Saturday days, looking at swing strike and folding and stuff, that type of thing.

29:23.253 --> 29:24.493 [SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't really popping.

29:25.674 --> 29:32.036 [SPEAKER_01]: They sent down Ben Brown and then I immediately kind of regretted it because it sounded like they were, you know, that's kind of like a vote of confidence for Kate Horton.

29:33.657 --> 29:39.141 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, I'm not too enthused by his performance, but he's only twenty three, I think.

29:39.241 --> 29:40.623 [SPEAKER_01]: So he's still very young.

29:42.264 --> 29:45.586 [SPEAKER_01]: Another team that's competing and there's going to be high demands for him.

29:45.607 --> 29:47.848 [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be in the middle of like high pressure situations.

29:47.908 --> 29:49.530 [SPEAKER_01]: It seems so like it's going to be good for him.

29:49.590 --> 29:52.412 [SPEAKER_01]: I think you do you folding under that pressure.

29:53.132 --> 29:55.194 [SPEAKER_01]: So dynasty wise, I do like him.

29:55.214 --> 29:59.978 [SPEAKER_01]: And I do think that his kind of middleing performance right now is maybe a goodbye opportunity as well.

30:01.477 --> 30:07.223 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think he's another one where maybe, you know, the stuff could get a little bit better.

30:07.243 --> 30:08.785 [SPEAKER_00]: I think you'd add velocity.

30:08.805 --> 30:19.677 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I think some of the stuff model parts of his fastball is like he's not sitting six to eight with that shape.

30:22.248 --> 30:25.389 [SPEAKER_00]: And that probably dictates a lot of it.

30:25.469 --> 30:28.030 [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think it's bad shape.

30:28.590 --> 30:30.071 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a cut ride fastball.

30:30.191 --> 30:31.831 [SPEAKER_00]: It just doesn't get a ton of ride.

30:31.891 --> 30:34.152 [SPEAKER_00]: And the plane isn't super outlier.

30:34.772 --> 30:36.833 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the release traits are characteristics.

30:36.873 --> 30:38.233 [SPEAKER_00]: You just can get a ton of extensions.

30:38.333 --> 30:41.495 [SPEAKER_00]: So some of that stuff, I think probably takes away from it.

30:41.555 --> 30:46.876 [SPEAKER_00]: But if he's locating it, I think it's got more than enough stuff to be effective and to set up the rest of his arsenal.

30:47.977 --> 30:51.358 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, I think guys also, particularly with pictures and dynasty,

30:52.288 --> 31:03.757 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, maybe picking your spots when they're rookies starting them in, you know, good environments against bad lineups is the way to go and just kind of play in the matchups if you can afford to do that.

31:04.998 --> 31:07.000 [SPEAKER_00]: Because the payoff is year two, year three.

31:07.740 --> 31:08.941 [SPEAKER_00]: when they take that stuff forward.

31:09.001 --> 31:23.855 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes it's the second half of their season two and August and September, those guys perform and they're often great indicators of the guys you should be buying in the off season before everybody catches up and starts to do their off season work in December.

31:23.875 --> 31:26.818 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's move on to another name here.

31:27.378 --> 31:28.680 [SPEAKER_00]: Cole Young and the Mariners

31:29.643 --> 31:31.904 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, it was a good hit tool.

31:32.044 --> 31:34.064 [SPEAKER_00]: It was good performance in the PCL.

31:34.525 --> 31:35.745 [SPEAKER_00]: There was more power.

31:35.805 --> 31:37.866 [SPEAKER_00]: I think enough that it got him to the major leagues.

31:38.246 --> 31:47.929 [SPEAKER_00]: We've seen zero power to speak of so far, hitting two, sixty one, two, ninety eight, three, seven entering play on Wednesday.

31:48.229 --> 31:50.429 [SPEAKER_00]: He's still super young at twenty one years old.

31:50.810 --> 31:52.390 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not out by your speed or anything.

31:52.810 --> 31:56.911 [SPEAKER_00]: But do you think the zero stolen bases is a little surprising?

31:56.931 --> 32:01.873 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's probably more likely to be like fifteen to sixteen over the course of the year.

32:03.253 --> 32:07.355 [SPEAKER_00]: But it's probably single digit home run totals, at least for now.

32:09.250 --> 32:16.135 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, a two, sixty one batting average is an exactly feeding families over twenty six games in the majors too.

32:16.275 --> 32:21.178 [SPEAKER_00]: So he's had a decent sample size on the eight runs seven RBIs.

32:21.779 --> 32:23.160 [SPEAKER_00]: What's your take on Cole Young?

32:23.880 --> 32:25.922 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been looped more than this player for a while.

32:26.940 --> 32:27.941 [SPEAKER_01]: You have.

32:29.142 --> 32:33.985 [SPEAKER_01]: He's always consistently in the leaders of Robo Scout.

32:34.005 --> 32:37.208 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just pulling it up now.

32:37.368 --> 32:47.736 [SPEAKER_01]: If you take his this year's performance, his peak looks like a two eighty batting average, three fifty on base, WRC plus one fifteen, seventeen homers, six stolen bases.

32:48.297 --> 32:51.079 [SPEAKER_01]: So solid above average player.

32:51.099 --> 32:52.119 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's kind of

32:53.015 --> 32:57.096 [SPEAKER_01]: what Christian Campbell's projections kind of looked like at the beginning of the season.

32:57.136 --> 32:58.016 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's solid.

32:58.896 --> 32:59.716 [SPEAKER_01]: He's very young.

32:59.776 --> 33:01.076 [SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of the main reason.

33:01.236 --> 33:02.657 [SPEAKER_01]: He's only twenty-one.

33:04.297 --> 33:07.658 [SPEAKER_01]: So I have high hopes for cool young.

33:07.698 --> 33:09.418 [SPEAKER_01]: If you look at steam or two, that's the same idea.

33:09.678 --> 33:13.599 [SPEAKER_01]: If you take his projections and if he's twenty-one, and then you kind of add age curves, it's the same idea.

33:13.939 --> 33:20.180 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like two, seventy-five, betting average, fourteen homerines, eight stolen bases is what my calculations look like.

33:21.441 --> 33:22.622 [SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, that's a solid player.

33:22.642 --> 33:44.922 [SPEAKER_01]: I think because of his very poor start to his career, you might be able to get him cheap, if you still believe that is kind of the approach we took with Jackson holiday last year that, yeah, you know what, don't buy the struggles like buy into it, buy with confidence, but he hasn't really come around fully yet.

33:45.622 --> 33:52.216 [SPEAKER_01]: another young player so you know there may be maybe a few years before finally actualizes into a return on investment but

33:53.337 --> 33:58.961 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the projections and his performance in the mind of least, just because he's so young, looks to be solid.

33:59.021 --> 34:16.634 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think if you trust projections, if you trust, you know, the historical major equivalencies, he's someone probably the best by low opportunity for a dynasty player of the of the group we're talking about, but it's also the one that's going to take the most kind of confidence and trust in blind faith.

34:18.028 --> 34:20.789 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that's probably accurate.

34:20.809 --> 34:22.890 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just he's not necessarily my cup of tea.

34:23.290 --> 34:26.291 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, one player who is, in fact, my cup of tea dealing.

34:28.092 --> 34:31.153 [SPEAKER_00]: And I can't remember if Robo Scott was higher or not.

34:31.233 --> 34:32.133 [SPEAKER_00]: I would assume so.

34:32.153 --> 34:33.914 [SPEAKER_00]: The power numbers were pretty good.

34:33.934 --> 34:35.955 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you can walk a whole lot.

34:36.035 --> 34:41.457 [SPEAKER_00]: It's always been an overzealous approach horse talking about very recent call up.

34:42.375 --> 34:48.399 [SPEAKER_00]: will be Thomas, so I think it's had maybe two, I mean, three games in the major leagues, I think it's just two, actually.

34:48.559 --> 34:50.220 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, maybe three, they played earlier today.

34:51.841 --> 34:54.903 [SPEAKER_00]: So Colby Thomas, what is your take on Colby Thomas had?

34:55.023 --> 35:08.032 [SPEAKER_00]: Thirty one home runs last year across doubling and AAA this year in AAA over seventy six games, seventeen home runs, five, forty two slug, two, forty five isolated slugging.

35:10.350 --> 35:15.634 [SPEAKER_01]: He's an interesting one because he's always been a bit older for the level.

35:15.714 --> 35:20.318 [SPEAKER_01]: So he always has to kind of outproduce everyone else for Robasco to like him.

35:21.358 --> 35:23.180 [SPEAKER_01]: He did have a lot of chase last year.

35:23.280 --> 35:26.442 [SPEAKER_01]: His contact was below average, slightly below average.

35:27.243 --> 35:29.184 [SPEAKER_01]: But huge exit velocities and then

35:30.725 --> 35:33.447 [SPEAKER_01]: We saw the data, his defensive data was really good.

35:33.467 --> 35:37.149 [SPEAKER_01]: That's not part of the Roboscope.

35:37.169 --> 35:41.071 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm bullying it.

35:41.091 --> 35:42.372 [SPEAKER_01]: I've now four, forty three.

35:43.332 --> 35:44.273 [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely high.

35:44.693 --> 35:51.637 [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, the chase being below average in the contact being slightly below average, like it's more than makes up for it by the the exo

35:53.499 --> 35:57.203 [SPEAKER_01]: It would be more than average performance, but he's a bit older, right?

35:57.243 --> 36:04.472 [SPEAKER_01]: So then it's Dubai that he will be able to perform in upper levels and in the majors and then he's got the good defense.

36:04.532 --> 36:08.617 [SPEAKER_01]: So like we saw the arm in the majors in the last couple days where

36:09.358 --> 36:12.199 [SPEAKER_01]: Can't remember who he threw out, but through someone out beautiful throw.

36:13.820 --> 36:15.421 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's kind of a weird profile.

36:15.461 --> 36:18.322 [SPEAKER_01]: He's got the floor of the good defense and he's got power.

36:18.342 --> 36:21.003 [SPEAKER_01]: He's got some speed, but he's got some chase.

36:21.043 --> 36:22.844 [SPEAKER_01]: So is it going to be kind of growing pains?

36:23.624 --> 36:23.984 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

36:24.064 --> 36:24.645 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think.

36:25.605 --> 36:30.888 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's a solid, like platoon outfielder type guy.

36:32.449 --> 36:44.376 [SPEAKER_01]: So someone like TJ Fried down trying to think of someone who you don't think immediately as like a regular contributor, but when he does play, he does contribute.

36:45.957 --> 36:46.898 [SPEAKER_01]: Trying to think of these guys.

36:47.738 --> 36:51.719 [SPEAKER_01]: like Brandon Marsh, but maybe with more power and less batting average.

36:52.239 --> 37:09.603 [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't foresee like Superstardom or like a, you know, first ten rounds draft pick in redraft, but I think he's going to be a solid performer who, you know, will have some good years and then have some some social years.

37:09.803 --> 37:10.503 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's my opinion.

37:10.543 --> 37:10.823 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

37:11.323 --> 37:12.803 [SPEAKER_01]: What you do like them a lot.

37:12.823 --> 37:13.324 [SPEAKER_01]: I know that.

37:13.424 --> 37:13.704 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

37:13.764 --> 37:14.064 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

37:14.164 --> 37:18.905 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think I don't think that's inaccurate saying it could be brain and marsh.

37:19.525 --> 37:21.086 [SPEAKER_00]: You might be more power there.

37:21.106 --> 37:22.786 [SPEAKER_00]: The angles are really, really good.

37:22.806 --> 37:29.508 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it might be a player where the counting stats, the opportunity.

37:30.403 --> 37:42.832 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, hopefully the home runs being like the mid-twenties over a full season, maybe fifteen steels, decent batting average probably takes a little bit of a hit in OVP.

37:42.852 --> 37:45.034 [SPEAKER_00]: I want to see approach just a little bit.

37:46.575 --> 37:55.768 [SPEAKER_00]: But I think like, he's a guy where he kind of toes that line between over aggressive and attacking stuff in the zone.

37:55.788 --> 37:58.612 [SPEAKER_00]: Because his heart swing numbers are really good too.

37:58.672 --> 38:01.436 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think there's multiple ways to have good approach.

38:02.217 --> 38:17.648 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, if your heart swings really high and your swing rate is high and your chase rate is a little bit higher, but there's like a decent separation between that swing rate and the chase rate and the heart swing numbers and zone swing numbers are good, which I think they are with Thomas.

38:18.408 --> 38:35.237 [SPEAKER_00]: I think all that stuff like can that profile can work, especially when you're twitchy and you have power and we kind of saw on the first game, you know, rip the double down the line, you know, made a crazy garbage can toss from the outfield to throw somebody out at home.

38:36.755 --> 38:41.397 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's just an interesting, you know, an interesting prospect.

38:41.417 --> 38:42.658 [SPEAKER_00]: He does a lot of things really well.

38:42.918 --> 38:50.462 [SPEAKER_00]: So I think some of that Twitch, et cetera, is what's a buy into, especially when they have that power and like some defense of value.

38:51.243 --> 38:55.865 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's keep it moving here with a bigger name prospect who's been up for a little bit now.

38:56.565 --> 38:58.406 [SPEAKER_00]: That is a Red Sox Marcella Meyer.

38:59.087 --> 39:00.727 [SPEAKER_00]: What's your take on Marcella Meyer?

39:00.747 --> 39:05.510 [SPEAKER_00]: Because if I remember correctly, the Robo Scout has liked Meyer at points of time.

39:06.688 --> 39:08.288 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, especially the last couple years.

39:08.468 --> 39:12.369 [SPEAKER_01]: It was a bit lukewarm for the first bit, but it's really come on.

39:12.609 --> 39:32.072 [SPEAKER_01]: So looking at Robo Scott now, his AAA performance this year, two, fifty batting at the peak projection of two, fifty batting average, three, twenty on base, twenty, five homeruns, four stolen bases, which solid, doing the same thing with steamer, two, fifty, five batting average, three, twenty, six on base, twenty homeruns, five stolen bases.

39:32.092 --> 39:34.753 [SPEAKER_01]: So pretty, pretty much in line, the peaks.

39:36.033 --> 39:37.995 [SPEAKER_01]: He's had a bit of a, you know, a tough go.

39:38.916 --> 39:40.037 [SPEAKER_01]: This thus far.

39:41.057 --> 39:43.680 [SPEAKER_01]: But he is playing pretty much every day.

39:43.720 --> 39:45.802 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's going to happen when pregnant comes back.

39:47.823 --> 39:48.884 [SPEAKER_01]: So he's a good player.

39:49.525 --> 39:58.753 [SPEAKER_01]: He's one where like the projection I just read you is not too far off from cool young, but I think you'd have to pay more to get mayor.

39:59.635 --> 40:01.579 [SPEAKER_01]: Meyer mayor than earlier young.

40:01.740 --> 40:08.294 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like maybe opportunity wise and it's better value to trade for cool young.

40:10.567 --> 40:15.311 [SPEAKER_01]: And also that projection I just read isn't, isn't, you know, all star really that much of an all star.

40:15.371 --> 40:23.298 [SPEAKER_01]: He's above average hitter, okay, batting average, okay, on base, twenty homeruns, five to ten stone bases, like it's a solid contributor.

40:23.898 --> 40:30.764 [SPEAKER_01]: It'll probably be a good line up that he's in seal, get good counting stats as well, but it's not like, you know, like Xander Bokarts or something like that.

40:30.864 --> 40:37.410 [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think you're getting an all star huge performer, but I think you're getting a solid performer.

40:39.808 --> 40:43.350 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think the underlying power numbers have been pretty good as well.

40:43.430 --> 40:47.753 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, granted the angles have been pretty bad, but like the EVs have been good.

40:47.873 --> 40:49.755 [SPEAKER_00]: The power rate hasn't been bad.

40:49.835 --> 40:51.676 [SPEAKER_00]: The hard hit rate is actually really good.

40:53.473 --> 41:00.877 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, so like I think there's maybe, you know, as he adjusts, gets settled in terms of the approach, which has always been a strength for him.

41:00.897 --> 41:04.298 [SPEAKER_00]: I think we'll see the walks go up, strikeouts go down.

41:04.318 --> 41:07.000 [SPEAKER_00]: I think they're gonna figure out a way to get him into the lineup.

41:07.120 --> 41:15.384 [SPEAKER_00]: I've already heard some rumors that the red sauce could potentially shop Alex pregnant if they're not in it, because he has this opt-out, so maybe trade him to a contender.

41:15.884 --> 41:18.465 [SPEAKER_00]: But we shall see if that happens or not.

41:20.006 --> 41:30.917 [SPEAKER_00]: Next, I want to throw out their Alejandro Osuna guy who's gotten some run over a handful of games now here with the old Rangers.

41:31.658 --> 41:41.547 [SPEAKER_00]: So if I remember correctly, he is a guy that the real bus got us like to points in time and has been a performer in the AFL before.

41:41.667 --> 41:43.990 [SPEAKER_00]: So what could take Alejandro Osuna?

41:45.651 --> 41:47.052 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Robo's code has liked him.

41:47.633 --> 41:49.654 [SPEAKER_01]: Probably considered him one of the more underrated prospects.

41:49.674 --> 41:50.875 [SPEAKER_01]: He's always near the top.

41:50.915 --> 42:00.724 [SPEAKER_01]: He's never on like prospect lists of like be a or pipeline or some of the, you know, the more well regarded prospect lists.

42:00.924 --> 42:03.046 [SPEAKER_01]: So Robo's code, I was felt he was underrated.

42:03.646 --> 42:22.071 [SPEAKER_01]: Still kind of like some still sees a power speed blend this year his performance in the upper minors wasn't as good as it was a previous year so he still looks like a fifteen to twenty home run fifteen to twenty stolen base guy with just maybe leverage batting steamer actually is more

42:24.232 --> 42:31.237 [SPEAKER_01]: more optimistic because steamer's taking to count last year's performance as well, which the robust gut thing I was just citing was just from this year.

42:31.737 --> 42:36.441 [SPEAKER_01]: So steamer sees him as a better than average, major league bat.

42:37.902 --> 42:41.484 [SPEAKER_01]: I think, you know, he struggled in the in the majors thus far in his run.

42:41.504 --> 42:42.425 [SPEAKER_01]: He's got one home run.

42:42.445 --> 42:46.288 [SPEAKER_01]: He's got two stone bases, but like a one sixty seven batting average, fifty five WRC.

42:46.488 --> 42:48.591 [SPEAKER_01]: plus is defenses below average as well.

42:48.991 --> 42:49.812 [SPEAKER_01]: But he's only twenty two.

42:49.832 --> 43:00.947 [SPEAKER_01]: The Rangers are also showing no is your tolerance policy, basically, like releasing Leo de DeVaris, which kind of shows a bit of confidence in

43:01.748 --> 43:03.969 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, soon, are they just demoted Josh Young?

43:04.789 --> 43:07.589 [SPEAKER_01]: So they're not standing for performance.

43:08.810 --> 43:10.430 [SPEAKER_01]: Evan Carter has been in the Netherlands line up.

43:11.050 --> 43:14.931 [SPEAKER_01]: I know most recently it's bereavement, but you know, they sent him down too.

43:14.991 --> 43:22.233 [SPEAKER_01]: So the fact that they're kind of letting us soon run, I think if I'm reading the tea leaves is like they believe in him.

43:24.602 --> 43:27.343 [SPEAKER_01]: And I guess they don't want to send them down and shout out as confidence.

43:28.844 --> 43:35.527 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I think he's going to be a nice power speed blend and because he's performing so poorly and steaming robust gusts still believe in him.

43:35.587 --> 43:37.587 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a good buying opportunity as well.

43:39.634 --> 43:43.377 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think I would trade for him too.

43:43.417 --> 43:47.060 [SPEAKER_01]: And I think he probably get the best value for him because he's performing so poorly.

43:47.140 --> 43:52.585 [SPEAKER_01]: He's never really had the pedigree, except in sort of the Stadline scouting models like Robo Scouts.

43:52.845 --> 43:54.567 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, like right on the interest.

43:54.627 --> 43:55.828 [SPEAKER_00]: He's been on the Rangers list.

43:55.868 --> 43:57.389 [SPEAKER_00]: He just wasn't in like a top hundred.

43:57.939 --> 43:58.680 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.

43:58.820 --> 43:59.901 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's what I mean.

44:00.501 --> 44:10.350 [SPEAKER_00]: But the thing with those sooner is like, I feel like the underlying skill trades are there, which might be one of the reasons that steamer likes it's like a six point nine percent swing strike rate.

44:10.390 --> 44:12.772 [SPEAKER_00]: He's not chasing out of the zone.

44:13.693 --> 44:17.634 [SPEAKER_00]: Usually when I see that, those are the type of guys when they're not performing I buy into.

44:17.754 --> 44:18.874 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like the Kyle Tucker rule.

44:19.074 --> 44:22.475 [SPEAKER_00]: He was like that, like the first year they were in the majors, everyone was like, oh, the slash line sucks.

44:22.855 --> 44:26.156 [SPEAKER_00]: And then you looked under the hood and you were like, he's not chasing, he's making his own contact.

44:26.656 --> 44:28.316 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the swing strike rate is low.

44:28.557 --> 44:32.297 [SPEAKER_00]: All the stuff that needs to be there is the other stuff will come along.

44:32.417 --> 44:37.739 [SPEAKER_00]: So he's a guy that I would buy into because it's kind of battle tested a little bit at the major league level.

44:38.099 --> 44:42.260 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just the performance hasn't sort of caught up to the underlying metrics.

44:42.600 --> 44:42.720 [SPEAKER_00]: And

44:43.560 --> 44:45.021 [SPEAKER_00]: They typically always do.

44:45.601 --> 44:47.762 [SPEAKER_00]: Last guy I'm going to throw out here has nasty stuff.

44:47.782 --> 44:49.343 [SPEAKER_00]: He's got a little bit of an injury history.

44:49.363 --> 44:52.085 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it wasn't starter in the minors.

44:52.325 --> 44:58.768 [SPEAKER_00]: Probably going to be deployed more as a reliever early on with the athletic sets Jack Perkins.

44:59.028 --> 45:07.613 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you have any thoughts on Jack Perkins or just maybe what the Robo Scott said this year because there's not a huge track record with Perkins do the injuries.

45:09.153 --> 45:14.297 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, he was on Robuscoats radar last year because he did perform and had pretty good stuff.

45:15.017 --> 45:17.719 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, the stuff actually jumped forward this year as well.

45:17.739 --> 45:19.921 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's like, like, ninety six miles an hour.

45:19.961 --> 45:22.963 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's got on the fastball and the sliders pretty good.

45:22.983 --> 45:27.266 [SPEAKER_01]: He's actually the number two pitcher in AAA this year per Robuscoat.

45:28.167 --> 45:28.247 [SPEAKER_01]: Um,

45:28.967 --> 45:35.331 [SPEAKER_01]: It projects at thirty percent strikeout rate forum of peak, which is I think the highest strikeout projection.

45:35.351 --> 45:40.855 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's tied with Sakura and just ahead of Jonah Tong, I think.

45:40.875 --> 45:43.557 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, averages up there too.

45:44.417 --> 45:50.420 [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, Robost got loves Perkins and Robost got us really liked all the athletics, pictures.

45:50.781 --> 45:51.141 [SPEAKER_01]: J.T.

45:51.221 --> 46:00.146 [SPEAKER_01]: Gin was was ranking high, Jacob Lopez as as ranked high as well this year and was kind of performing well in the majors as well.

46:00.206 --> 46:03.528 [SPEAKER_01]: So, I think Perkins has a good future.

46:03.548 --> 46:07.150 [SPEAKER_01]: I think the fact if you want to get Perkins from an owner,

46:08.090 --> 46:11.032 [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't have him, I think now's a good time because he is in the bullpen.

46:11.772 --> 46:15.834 [SPEAKER_01]: As long as you, you know, our patient and no, maybe he's not going to perform for you this year.

46:16.395 --> 46:20.977 [SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, maybe the next couple of years, he'll be a surprise performer.

46:20.997 --> 46:22.358 [SPEAKER_01]: I think that was a good time to go for Perkins.

46:22.378 --> 46:25.480 [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, Robo Scott really likes Perkins, which means I like Perkins.

46:26.606 --> 46:28.387 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I think it's been pretty good.

46:28.407 --> 46:30.129 [SPEAKER_00]: The stuff is something to buy into.

46:30.329 --> 46:33.391 [SPEAKER_00]: And there's opportunity there right now with the athletics.

46:33.411 --> 46:38.715 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're trying to figure out who are the right guys that they need to keep around, who's the core here.

46:38.735 --> 46:47.501 [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of an exciting team to watch right now with all the young talent that's in Oakland, or excuse me, in Sacramento with the athletics.

46:48.342 --> 46:51.404 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Dylan, we've covered a lot in this episode.

46:51.724 --> 46:55.147 [SPEAKER_00]: Ten players, nestled right in between Canada today.

46:55.727 --> 46:56.808 [SPEAKER_00]: and the fourth week of lie.

46:57.509 --> 47:05.996 [SPEAKER_00]: Very patriotic podcasts, you know, we're setting off fireworks in the background and waving flags and drinking patriotic drinks still in.
