00:00.031 --> 00:07.444
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey everybody, J.J. Cooper, Jeff Ponce, Facebook, America, Prospect, podcast, we're back together, and we got something a little different this week.

00:07.464 --> 00:09.307
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to have a little fun this week.

00:09.347 --> 00:14.296
[SPEAKER_01]: So we are in, let's talk in the Ian Cundleton staff earlier today.

00:14.316 --> 00:19.325
[SPEAKER_01]: We were talking about prospects and all and how Jeff, before we get into this, I'll kind of throw this to you as well.

00:20.046 --> 00:23.592
[SPEAKER_01]: We're in that another world right now, where,

00:24.061 --> 00:40.045
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything is interesting and everything is prone to overreaction on the prospect side because the difference between what is significant and what is a hot start or a cold start or a good outing or a bad one or whatever.

00:40.025 --> 00:45.453
[SPEAKER_01]: and it can change right now literally in the span of the day makes this a tricky time.

00:45.553 --> 00:52.083
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want us, I don't think I'm a podcast that makes sense for us to say, hey, let's go through Kate Anderson at a great start this week.

00:52.263 --> 00:57.150
[SPEAKER_01]: So what does that mean for Kate Anderson versus Ryan Sloan as far as the best Mariners pitch across the game?

00:57.170 --> 00:59.614
[SPEAKER_01]: We're anything like that, and especially when you get to hitters.

01:00.595 --> 01:05.222
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to do something a little different, but like how do you, before we do, like,

01:05.793 --> 01:16.006
[SPEAKER_01]: as you're watching games and I'll like, what are you looking for right now and how do you kind of temper your excitement, your concern, your views on all this?

01:17.147 --> 01:22.574
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think, you know, especially when it comes to hitting prospects, we've talked about this before.

01:24.036 --> 01:35.530
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think, you know, as you start to look at the beginning of the season, you're maybe looking for things that are maybe more like old school kind of scouting.

01:35.510 --> 01:50.681
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not standardized anywhere, even triple A were maybe getting a little bit closer to some of the EV data and stuff like that and maybe getting a little closer to They're being a little bit more signal like in your swing rates contact that sort of thing.

01:51.723 --> 01:54.328
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think I'm looking for a quality of it bats.

01:56.114 --> 02:05.446
[SPEAKER_03]: guys that are maybe moving a little better, moving a little worse in terms of swings because we certainly do see some guys but she guys come in off injuries.

02:05.967 --> 02:09.151
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, okay, let's just be clear before we don't, we're talking about Bryce Rainer.

02:10.613 --> 02:17.242
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, he didn't have a, you have an insane Homer the other night that was like, four, 60 or something, 11, 16.

02:17.342 --> 02:17.803
[SPEAKER_03]: So.

02:17.823 --> 02:22.609
[SPEAKER_01]: But the swing, the swing right now does not look as fluid as it did last year.

02:23.270 --> 02:23.370
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.

02:23.502 --> 02:38.401
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think that's something to look for maybe adjustments in terms of the setup, the timing mechanism, whether it's a adjusted leg kick, it's bigger, it's smaller, guide moves to a toe tap, all that sort of stuff, I think is relevant.

02:39.522 --> 02:49.915
[SPEAKER_03]: But also, especially with younger prospects, because for me, I often feel like we have a pretty good fingerprint when a player gets to double a or triple a.

02:49.895 --> 02:59.506
[SPEAKER_03]: and it's not the high end guys, it's not the top 100, especially the top 60 or 70, most of those guys that's kind of like sink or swim when they get to the upper minders, right?

02:59.626 --> 03:00.707
[SPEAKER_03]: Is this going to work?

03:01.248 --> 03:11.400
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there maybe some question mark in terms of the contact rate, whatever it is that's going to you know, bottom out and he's going to get exposed and he's going to have to adjust and then we have to adjust or ranking.

03:12.021 --> 03:16.746
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I think the biggest thing is looking at these A ball guys

03:16.979 --> 03:26.576
[SPEAKER_03]: that are maybe in their first full season assignment, high egg eyes, they're younger, and seeing if they're doing the things that we maybe had concerns about.

03:26.676 --> 03:29.562
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, all right, like, adjusting guns always pull the ball in the air.

03:29.582 --> 03:30.664
[SPEAKER_03]: We know it can hit it hard.

03:31.164 --> 03:32.627
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, we know we can make contact.

03:32.667 --> 03:36.734
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you pull the ball in the air without sacrificing too much of that concern?

03:36.795 --> 03:38.177
[SPEAKER_03]: That's made for us, yes.

03:38.157 --> 04:01.110
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that's something that I'm looking, I think that's something you can take away and be like, all right, this is something I'm going to track throughout the season and see if this regress is or not, early signal on that one in particular has been pretty good, but I think those are the kind of things just to use an example that I'm really looking for, really looking for improvements in certain skills, question marks that we had growth from year to year,

04:01.090 --> 04:05.316
[SPEAKER_03]: what position is a guy playing sometimes guys learn new positions, try new positions.

04:05.737 --> 04:16.773
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think, you know, we have a ton of drafts, a lot of town to high school players from the last year's class that have debuted in full season in a real way with a full off season.

04:17.134 --> 04:23.824
[SPEAKER_03]: Think some of that is interesting to see because I think that's when players can make the biggest jumps when a guy can go from a third round pick.

04:23.804 --> 04:28.697
[SPEAKER_03]: to a player that's like, whoa, this guy might be, you know, a top on her prospect.

04:28.717 --> 04:34.371
[SPEAKER_03]: Perfect example is, is Daniel Pierce from the race that I know Josh saw this weekend and had a phenomenal week.

04:34.391 --> 04:35.855
[SPEAKER_03]: I think was on the hot sheet as well.

04:36.637 --> 04:40.547
[SPEAKER_03]: That's, that's the type of guy where it's like, okay, you know,

04:40.527 --> 04:49.323
[SPEAKER_03]: My ears are pointing up on focused, Daniel Pierce is someone I'm going to be checking every night, tuning into games, seeing how the glove looks, you know, how the bat looks.

04:49.403 --> 04:53.550
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, we have scout friends all throughout the industry that see these guys in different weeks.

04:53.610 --> 04:58.799
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're maybe talking to this scout or this scout from this team or that team and saying, how did Pierce look this week?

04:58.819 --> 05:00.302
[SPEAKER_03]: How did Pierce look that week?

05:00.322 --> 05:02.586
[SPEAKER_03]: And kind of pulling all that information together.

05:02.646 --> 05:04.830
[SPEAKER_03]: And then sometime maybe

05:04.810 --> 05:13.722
[SPEAKER_03]: Later this month, early in May, we'll probably get some more data to actually dive into and get a better understanding of some of the under the hood skills as well.

05:13.742 --> 05:16.205
[SPEAKER_03]: But at this point, I'm trying to ignore that stuff.

05:16.866 --> 05:19.770
[SPEAKER_03]: A more looking at, you know, how does a player look?

05:20.050 --> 05:21.832
[SPEAKER_03]: Are they doing some of these things differently?

05:22.253 --> 05:27.780
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it showing up in more like the surface level, fan graphs, kind of stats that I can pull?

05:27.760 --> 05:29.322
[SPEAKER_03]: I think all that stuff is important.

05:29.382 --> 05:32.325
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's kind of where I'm looking with hitters with pitchers.

05:32.345 --> 05:33.006
[SPEAKER_03]: We've talked about this.

05:33.066 --> 05:34.027
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's standard ISIS.

05:34.047 --> 05:34.728
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to start.

05:34.788 --> 05:36.991
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to bring it up quickly.

05:37.512 --> 05:39.194
[SPEAKER_01]: Juan Valera has taken a step forward.

05:39.294 --> 05:40.675
[SPEAKER_01]: He's throwing one out to it.

05:40.775 --> 05:43.419
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't seem that before, so yeah.

05:43.439 --> 05:44.880
[SPEAKER_01]: But so what we're going to do today?

05:45.521 --> 05:48.925
[SPEAKER_01]: We're doing a pair of drafts, right?

05:49.466 --> 05:53.110
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to do a draft of only

05:53.984 --> 05:59.756
[SPEAKER_01]: rookies, players who came into the year prospect eligible, but have played in the big league this year.

05:59.797 --> 06:00.719
[SPEAKER_01]: We are recording this.

06:01.340 --> 06:05.489
[SPEAKER_01]: If you see me every now and then look off, we are recording this on Tuesday night.

06:05.850 --> 06:07.954
[SPEAKER_01]: So, going up on Wednesday morning, but recording some Tuesday night.

06:08.535 --> 06:13.967
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Noah Schultz, eligible for this list because Noah Schultz made his debut tonight.

06:13.947 --> 06:16.150
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you have not, you are not eligible.

06:16.170 --> 06:19.594
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you played in the majors last year, Jonah Tong, not eligible for this.

06:19.614 --> 06:20.675
[SPEAKER_01]: He played the majors last year.

06:21.016 --> 06:21.716
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not this year.

06:21.736 --> 06:22.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Still prospect eligible.

06:23.138 --> 06:23.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Not eligible for this.

06:24.219 --> 06:25.561
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to do that.

06:25.621 --> 06:27.063
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we're going to do a prospect draft.

06:27.083 --> 06:29.606
[SPEAKER_01]: But right now, the rules of the rookie draft are pretty straightforward.

06:30.647 --> 06:31.628
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to go back and forth.

06:32.529 --> 06:35.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeff, I think we'll we'll let Jeff pick first in this one.

06:35.533 --> 06:37.355
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we'll snake draft is so I'll pick two picks.

06:37.395 --> 06:39.718
[SPEAKER_01]: Then Jeff pick one pick and we'll go back and forth.

06:40.373 --> 06:43.337
[SPEAKER_01]: one player per or per team, right?

06:43.357 --> 06:47.143
[SPEAKER_01]: So I get to pick one pirate and you get to pick one pirate.

06:48.124 --> 06:55.775
[SPEAKER_01]: But whichever one of this takes kind of grip and can't take Boba Chandler, the other one gets Boba Chandler, and you can probably wait to take Boba Chandler then because you know you're not gonna have to take them.

06:55.795 --> 06:57.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Two corner out filters, one center.

06:57.898 --> 06:59.941
[SPEAKER_01]: On the rookie draft, that's not gonna make a whole lot of difference.

07:00.041 --> 07:01.543
[SPEAKER_01]: Most of these guys have played both.

07:02.765 --> 07:07.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Three starting pitchers, one reliever, must have played the position.

07:08.234 --> 07:32.975
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll give a little bit of like we'll be a little bit leeway on this if you want to try to cram South Stewart the third base feel free he did play that in the major leagues maybe not this year but the key thing also is his has played in majors this year so I'm going to have a little running tally on this so that you're on the YouTube you can see this on our YouTube channel but it's not I'll keep repeating it as we go through it too.

07:34.297 --> 07:34.798
[SPEAKER_01]: So

07:36.702 --> 07:39.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeff, you get the first pick.

07:39.535 --> 07:44.940
[SPEAKER_01]: And I should say, we are trying to do this, if we 10 years from now,

07:45.815 --> 07:47.317
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to think of how old I'll be.

07:47.337 --> 07:51.001
[SPEAKER_01]: But 10 years from now, we decide that we're going to do a look back at this.

07:51.661 --> 08:01.092
[SPEAKER_01]: You want your team to look to this, not to have had the best 2026, but to have had the best decade of production.

08:01.432 --> 08:10.021
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're not looking, I'm sorry, you can take foster grip and if you want, but you're not going to get as much runaway from foster grip and as you are from Bubba Chan.

08:10.422 --> 08:11.143
[SPEAKER_01]: That kind of thing.

08:11.223 --> 08:13.445
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jeff, you get the first pick.

08:13.966 --> 08:15.147
[SPEAKER_01]: Who are you taking one?

08:15.903 --> 08:16.604
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to make it easy.

08:16.644 --> 08:20.069
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take Connor Griff in one, one, fill that store and stop spot.

08:20.710 --> 08:29.684
[SPEAKER_03]: I am not too concerned about the first 10 games of his career when he's running a sub 230 batting average on balls and play.

08:30.926 --> 08:32.548
[SPEAKER_03]: We know the kind of defender he can be.

08:32.628 --> 08:34.111
[SPEAKER_03]: We know the kind of hitter he is.

08:34.812 --> 08:35.493
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to click.

08:35.933 --> 08:42.403
[SPEAKER_03]: And just like it is with a lot of these guys, remember Roman Anthony started a little slow to Alex pregnant and other guy I always remember started a little slow.

08:42.564 --> 08:44.847
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike Treot started a little slow to his pro career.

08:45.350 --> 08:50.316
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's going to turn around in a big way and it's going to be really, really loud and that could be within the next week or two.

08:50.536 --> 08:56.563
[SPEAKER_03]: So I thought about Kevin McGonagal for a split second, but I'm going to, I'm going to take Connor Griffin.

08:57.905 --> 09:00.088
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you're going to take Connor Griffin.

09:01.069 --> 09:02.451
[SPEAKER_01]: You know who I'm going to take next.

09:02.651 --> 09:07.797
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm taking Kevin McGonagal and I am going to play him at third base.

09:08.840 --> 09:12.048
[SPEAKER_01]: which is I think a little bit tougher to fill this year than shortstop.

09:12.068 --> 09:14.333
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll put them at third and I get to go again.

09:14.373 --> 09:20.688
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I'm actually going to fill my second base spot as well.

09:21.189 --> 09:23.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually no, I'm going to leave that one for you.

09:23.595 --> 09:26.562
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go Nolan McLean and I think

09:27.149 --> 09:37.086
[SPEAKER_01]: While there are good pitchers out there, I think that the potential difference between him and the next best pitcher is maybe a little bit more, I think I have a couple more options out there.

09:37.466 --> 09:40.571
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the way I'll go on.

09:40.592 --> 09:41.373
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's back to you.

09:42.014 --> 09:44.258
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to I'm going to keep it simple again.

09:44.298 --> 09:46.862
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take JJ weather halt.

09:47.669 --> 09:49.011
[SPEAKER_03]: fill my second base spot.

09:49.131 --> 09:52.457
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been phenomenal in the field tonight.

09:52.797 --> 09:58.346
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, well, well, well, well, that's going to help us a little bit as well, help me a little bit as well.

09:58.426 --> 10:00.229
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think you look at the underlying skills.

10:00.249 --> 10:08.462
[SPEAKER_03]: This is something that speaking of another rookie that maybe under performed a little bit in his first taste of the big leagues was Kyle Tucker.

10:08.442 --> 10:20.270
[SPEAKER_03]: And I can always remember saying, like some of my friends, people in fantasy leagues, like still going get Kyle Tucker, look at the underlying skills, low swing strike rate, not a guy that's going to be chasing a whole lot.

10:20.631 --> 10:26.805
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's a 21.3% O swing, he's swinging in zone at a nearly 70% rate.

10:26.785 --> 10:28.889
[SPEAKER_03]: the zone contact is high.

10:28.949 --> 10:34.160
[SPEAKER_03]: Overall, contacts a little lower than I would have expected with weather halt, but still not bad.

10:34.781 --> 10:36.384
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's been really good in the field.

10:36.404 --> 10:41.214
[SPEAKER_03]: So I believe in the player, I think this is another guy at the end of the season, the numbers going look pretty good.

10:42.617 --> 10:46.544
[SPEAKER_03]: You get to go again, so now I get to double up again.

10:46.564 --> 10:48.388
[SPEAKER_03]: And ooh.

10:49.482 --> 10:53.128
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I have to go with my guy here, JJ.

10:53.388 --> 10:55.051
[SPEAKER_03]: I've thought about some other players.

10:56.132 --> 10:57.234
[SPEAKER_03]: I gotta go and chase the water.

10:57.955 --> 11:02.282
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to run the risk of not getting chased the water.

11:02.903 --> 11:04.325
[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, started phenomenally.

11:04.365 --> 11:08.031
[SPEAKER_03]: The big question with him is whether he stays healthier or not.

11:08.011 --> 11:19.746
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, one of my favorite hitters, a guy that, you know, there's certain guys, I don't, I'm not, I'm not someone that's, that's at amateur events when these kids are 15 like Ben Badher Ben Badher can say that he found through player.

11:20.527 --> 11:32.503
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, the lotters the closest thing I think I have to that, because there was not a whole lot known about him prior to that Kate season and I saw his first game in the cave, but I think I saw him play 21 times.

11:33.284 --> 11:33.664
[SPEAKER_03]: Um,

11:34.960 --> 11:35.741
[SPEAKER_03]: It was phenomenal.

11:35.861 --> 11:50.976
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the best Cape seasons I've ever seen, and I think it was more exciting because this wasn't like a borderline USA guy or USA guy that you saw on the Cape and we're like, oh yeah, like, you know, whoever, Travis Pazana is really good, like we knew that, right?

11:52.818 --> 11:55.101
[SPEAKER_03]: This was a guy that, you know, kind of pop for me.

11:55.201 --> 11:57.303
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's an emotional attachment there.

11:57.323 --> 12:03.229
[SPEAKER_03]: I maybe there might have been better picks, but I'm gonna go with the lottery and you know, pack those five homers into my lineup.

12:04.762 --> 12:06.023
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a very good pick.

12:06.043 --> 12:11.169
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the only thing I have, we know the words, the worries right there are, it's like, how is this feet today?

12:11.289 --> 12:12.350
[SPEAKER_01]: How are his feet today?

12:12.931 --> 12:14.793
[SPEAKER_01]: And so far so good.

12:15.714 --> 12:22.542
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to do something pretty that may seem strange here, but there's something tactical and strategic to it.

12:22.962 --> 12:26.546
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to take Carter Jensen at catcher.

12:28.428 --> 12:34.735
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm going to take,

12:37.195 --> 12:39.161
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to put him for now at the age.

12:40.124 --> 12:46.884
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, we can move this around, so, but I think there were two catchers who were at a different level on this board.

12:47.586 --> 12:49.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, I'm going to try to take both of them.

12:51.286 --> 12:58.113
[SPEAKER_01]: And Bassayo obviously is like, you know, you're gonna get a little bit more runtime here with Rushman on the I.L.

12:58.634 --> 13:02.037
[SPEAKER_01]: But Jensen, I feel like we've seen the power already.

13:02.538 --> 13:04.840
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's still a little bit of, I'd be catching hard.

13:04.940 --> 13:11.027
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that we're seeing from Jensen already, this is a guy who couldn't be an impact bat for the Royals.

13:11.667 --> 13:16.552
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Bassayo has shown also, like he had a monster Homer recently, like that he can be an impact bat.

13:17.013 --> 13:21.057
[SPEAKER_01]: And also, much like you've got the advantage

13:21.037 --> 13:34.236
[SPEAKER_01]: Jordan Walker, what Jordan Walker showing us this year is a great reminder of, hey, when a guy comes up exceptionally young, even if the adjustment period takes a while.

13:35.583 --> 13:42.111
[SPEAKER_01]: The underlying talent, when you're that young, does mean that you have a chance to kind of still really kind of emerge.

13:42.712 --> 13:50.121
[SPEAKER_01]: So I feel like with the SIO, that is an exceptionally young big bat, that also can catch.

13:50.461 --> 13:55.067
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's my back-to-back picks and then it's back to you for two picks.

13:55.087 --> 14:01.294
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, the first pick I'm gonna make is the best rookie pitcher to date over the first few weeks of the season.

14:01.695 --> 14:03.717
[SPEAKER_03]: That's Andrew Painter.

14:04.388 --> 14:07.213
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been great to see him kind of take that step forward.

14:07.674 --> 14:12.503
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was easy to kind of write him off when we looked at his first year.

14:12.563 --> 14:21.739
[SPEAKER_03]: After being down for two years, coming back from that arm injury, of course, you know, had Tommy John surgery and then had to go through the recovery of all that.

14:21.719 --> 14:23.543
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, the stuff was a really crisp.

14:23.564 --> 14:34.570
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the fastball command and locations have looked better and ultimately I think that was a lot of his struggles in in triple A last year were just kind of the fastball locations.

14:34.931 --> 14:37.197
[SPEAKER_03]: The secondary stuff always looked phenomenal.

14:37.217 --> 14:38.901
[SPEAKER_03]: I can remember sitting there last year.

14:38.881 --> 14:44.990
[SPEAKER_03]: and Worcester seeing an Andrew Paner start sitting next to Ian long before he was a BA employee.

14:45.391 --> 14:47.874
[SPEAKER_03]: And we were just so impressed with the secondary stuff.

14:47.914 --> 14:54.965
[SPEAKER_03]: And it was like, yeah, like, when I saw him in Pabelle, when I saw him in the Arizona fall league, it was more fastball heavy.

14:55.005 --> 14:57.949
[SPEAKER_03]: He really got into his bag of using all of his breaking ball shapes.

14:58.009 --> 14:58.590
[SPEAKER_03]: It's changed up.

14:59.371 --> 15:00.473
[SPEAKER_03]: It's good secondary stuff.

15:00.913 --> 15:03.257
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, I'm going to break your heart a little bit here, JJ.

15:03.317 --> 15:07.403
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to fill my first base position with South Stewart.

15:07.383 --> 15:14.389
[SPEAKER_03]: He has been the best rookie hitter to date when we're at again tonight also, so that's five.

15:14.449 --> 15:28.262
[SPEAKER_03]: He's now tied chased a loter for the rookie lead in home runs and coming into the night had a 178 WRC plus phenomenal start to the season as he hit 309, 435, 600, those numbers are only going to go up after this evening.

15:28.322 --> 15:37.390
[SPEAKER_03]: So that was through with an easy one, plug a minute first

15:37.370 --> 15:45.598
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, group here in terms of the hitters so far and I liked the way my team starting to look JJ It's it's a good team so far.

15:45.738 --> 15:49.021
[SPEAKER_01]: I still think I've got a pretty good chance or though as well And I'm sorry.

15:49.041 --> 15:55.648
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm having to clean up a I put this no wrong one first so now I've a fix that As far as the naming it the bottom of it.

15:55.748 --> 16:05.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so if I'm sitting here and I've got to put self-stored in for you And I was a little worried you're gonna do that and you notice I did say that I was putting the silo at DH for now

16:05.517 --> 16:32.638
[SPEAKER_01]: because I knew that there was a pretty good chance that you might take Stewart and if you took Stewart, I kind of felt like, okay, then I'm going to need to maybe adjust and I think I'm going to do that at some point, but so I'm going to go, I'm going to be strategic about this as

16:33.378 --> 16:39.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Not because I think that he's going to be the best remaining picture on the board.

16:40.187 --> 16:46.936
[SPEAKER_01]: But because I don't have to take Bubba Chandler now, I can make that my last pick, you can't pick a pirate, so I'm good there.

16:47.517 --> 17:02.997
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to kind of let that one hang out for a little while, so that's one pick for me.

17:04.023 --> 17:11.295
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to take, I'm going to take Freeland, Alex Freeland, not Kyle Freeland, Alex Freeland.

17:12.917 --> 17:13.899
[SPEAKER_03]: Kyle would have been interesting.

17:14.260 --> 17:15.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, I don't want Kyle.

17:15.942 --> 17:18.987
[SPEAKER_01]: No offense to Kyle, but I'll take Alex Freeland.

17:19.648 --> 17:27.421
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to put him it again, I think third second he'll go third for now, but he can play pretty much anywhere around the infield.

17:27.702 --> 17:28.022
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

17:29.285 --> 17:31.033
[SPEAKER_01]: So that puts it back to you.

17:31.073 --> 17:35.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously with Freeland, we are seeing him have get a little bit more run now.

17:35.131 --> 17:37.843
[SPEAKER_01]: I think with with Mookie, that's being out.

17:38.768 --> 17:41.733
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's going to only get better.

17:42.174 --> 17:43.096
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, absolutely.

17:43.316 --> 17:44.438
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm going to be strategic.

17:44.519 --> 17:48.085
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't take Carson Benge.

17:48.446 --> 17:49.267
[SPEAKER_03]: So like it.

17:49.508 --> 17:50.429
[SPEAKER_03]: So you don't need to take it.

17:51.111 --> 17:52.673
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to sit on that one.

17:52.734 --> 17:53.836
[SPEAKER_03]: My first pick here.

17:53.876 --> 18:00.908
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to fill My third base spot JJ and I'm going to take more a copy.

18:01.570 --> 18:02.852
[SPEAKER_03]: Then it talk a more common.

18:03.018 --> 18:11.870
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, has actually outperformed so not by much and outperformed automotive, which is a little bit of a surprise.

18:12.351 --> 18:16.557
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, but I still like the power for homeruns.

18:16.837 --> 18:18.640
[SPEAKER_03]: He got he's walking at a 20% rate.

18:19.661 --> 18:22.225
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a little Kyle Schworbrish.

18:22.205 --> 18:29.114
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not quite at that level, but it's like that bucket of players just he's, you know, more like the team version of him right now.

18:29.795 --> 18:36.583
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think you're growing to, you know, maybe a little bit more contact strikeout rate is kind of around where I thought it would be.

18:36.704 --> 18:40.629
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, not a great defender, but I guess I could plug a minute third.

18:40.669 --> 18:42.771
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, I'm going to do this.

18:42.791 --> 18:45.715
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just checking to make sure he has played there this year, right?

18:45.695 --> 18:47.037
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe that he had.

18:47.117 --> 18:48.440
[SPEAKER_01]: I can double check right now.

18:48.500 --> 18:49.241
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm checking right now.

18:49.261 --> 18:50.022
[SPEAKER_01]: He is listed as a third.

18:50.102 --> 18:50.864
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think you're good there.

18:51.164 --> 18:51.645
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

18:51.665 --> 18:52.286
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he is not.

18:53.749 --> 18:54.350
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

18:54.390 --> 18:57.054
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, then I'm going to have to put him in at DH then JJ.

18:57.154 --> 18:58.577
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, you know, you could actually flip it.

18:58.617 --> 19:02.403
[SPEAKER_01]: You can put South Georgia third if you wanted because he did play third in the majors.

19:03.485 --> 19:04.487
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to put the DH for now.

19:05.048 --> 19:06.370
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what?

19:08.054 --> 19:11.202
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's put them at DH for now and I can you have that flexibility.

19:11.583 --> 19:12.685
[SPEAKER_03]: I have that flexibility.

19:12.745 --> 19:14.109
[SPEAKER_03]: I can I can move it around.

19:15.252 --> 19:16.455
[SPEAKER_03]: If I see fit.

19:18.159 --> 19:23.211
[SPEAKER_03]: The next guy that I'm going to grab here is Moise's ballasteros.

19:23.495 --> 19:28.182
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought about taking him and clear and basically just trying to take all the catchers for all the catchers.

19:29.825 --> 19:35.814
[SPEAKER_03]: So he has played catcher one game for two innings in the big weeks this year and did play.

19:35.834 --> 19:37.156
[SPEAKER_03]: I think six innings last year.

19:37.196 --> 19:39.439
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to plug a minute catcher though.

19:39.520 --> 19:41.102
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how much he catches.

19:41.142 --> 19:47.171
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to enjoy watching your pitching staff throw to Moistus Ballastair.

19:47.191 --> 19:52.219
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see, you know, luckily the real life catchers will never actually be Moistus Ballastairos.

19:53.093 --> 20:22.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so this is now, this is to me, this is where this starts to get interesting right is is there's only a limited group I think we counted I think 40 was it's 41 cookies pit hitters 31 30 it was 42 32 32, okay, so I need a first basement I need a second basement and then I need a whole lot of out filters and then I need pictures.

20:23.620 --> 20:33.636
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking at this and again, I can't take Carson bench and I can't take Dylan Beaver.

20:33.656 --> 20:42.750
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're outfield, you're going to have some nice guys to take that have been blocked for me, which to be honest, is going to make my outfield a little bit rougher.

20:43.291 --> 20:49.240
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's where, well, but I don't, I also know that you've got guys like,

20:49.473 --> 20:54.061
[SPEAKER_01]: You probably aren't gonna take all the guys I want because you only have so many outfield spots.

20:54.862 --> 21:01.093
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm gonna go, at least get one on the board before I lose some of these.

21:01.193 --> 21:08.766
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna take Owen Casey and I'm gonna get him kind of cleared off for now so that gives me an outfield spot.

21:08.786 --> 21:11.110
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't feel as bad about that.

21:11.326 --> 21:24.706
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not really as worried about first base, not because there's a lot of great choices there, but when you have South Stewart and Murakami, I don't think that you're going to be necessarily looking a whole lot there.

21:25.527 --> 21:27.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, anytime soon.

21:27.731 --> 21:33.559
[SPEAKER_01]: So TJ Rumpfield is still sitting there if I want him, the Rockies Starward.

21:33.579 --> 21:35.983
[SPEAKER_01]: So I will,

21:36.436 --> 21:42.585
[SPEAKER_01]: But also, again, the thing that's great about this is you've got to be clover about this also as far as not blocking yourself from taking other guys.

21:43.066 --> 21:47.813
[SPEAKER_01]: So I haven't taken a white sock and Noah's shorts came up today.

21:48.374 --> 21:50.177
[SPEAKER_01]: So Noah's shorts is my other pick.

21:51.419 --> 21:54.804
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm really liking my pitching staff.

21:54.864 --> 22:03.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, shorts, I would again say, like, young pictures is not the exactly the same thing as young hitters as far as like, it's not as,

22:04.803 --> 22:26.153
[SPEAKER_01]: glaring the difference between if a guy gets up at 22, 23 versus 25, 26, but we obviously we talked about it on the hot sheet show today, you did about how Schultz is taking a step forward this year, that kind of development of that cutter, which gives him, I would say a pitch that he can be in the zone with more consistently, which less everything else play,

22:26.133 --> 22:37.474
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a very positive development, I did last I checked he was I think losing three nothing when I when we started recording this so, but I'm going to go know a shelter there and that kicks it back to you for two spots.

22:40.519 --> 22:49.035
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, So I'm going to fill my third base spot here, though he's been the worst of the three available.

22:49.522 --> 22:54.868
[SPEAKER_03]: third baseman actually is only two available because I can't take Nick York and actually I can't take Tanner Murray.

22:55.128 --> 22:59.773
[SPEAKER_03]: So this is really my only option at third base JJ and that is Kazakamoto.

23:00.614 --> 23:08.523
[SPEAKER_03]: He struck out way more than I had anticipated and he's done it with very first week with fairly neutral luck.

23:10.445 --> 23:13.789
[SPEAKER_03]: But he has played third base and I think that he will turn around.

23:13.809 --> 23:14.750
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the skills are there.

23:14.770 --> 23:15.411
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's just

23:15.813 --> 23:21.739
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, there's an adjustment period for any of these Japanese players that come over even culturally.

23:21.859 --> 23:30.589
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that's something that, you know, a my Tetsuya, my who's now in the IL had spoke about a little bit like adjusting to the game and adjusting to life off the field.

23:30.609 --> 23:36.555
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it was some form of I have not yet adjusted to pitching in the US and the offfield life.

23:37.096 --> 23:39.438
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, one of the things is it's a big adjustment.

23:40.079 --> 23:44.183
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm sure that Tokyo and Houston are very different places.

23:45.142 --> 23:47.759
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I feel very, very confident about that.

23:47.981 --> 23:49.853
[SPEAKER_01]: But okay, so you have.

23:50.727 --> 23:56.994
[SPEAKER_01]: You have cornered, which I've expected, where you have not gotten am I yet, but you have cornered the Japanese hit or was it?

23:57.134 --> 23:57.835
[SPEAKER_01]: For this rookies.

23:58.095 --> 24:03.140
[SPEAKER_03]: I may have to take am I because I am blocked from taking Parker Messick, because of the lotter.

24:03.801 --> 24:08.286
[SPEAKER_01]: I am just, which I'm, which I, that's why I haven't taken Parker Messick yet, but he will be one of mine probably.

24:08.486 --> 24:14.352
[SPEAKER_03]: I figured that, I figured it was like, ah, if I have to take one of my two boys, I'm gonna, I'm gonna lean with Chase, sorry Parker.

24:15.654 --> 24:19.738
[SPEAKER_01]: To be honest, you know, that wrong, I'm gonna take long breeto, because you can't take long breeto either.

24:19.718 --> 24:22.000
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm also blocked from taking rent louder.

24:23.182 --> 24:29.268
[SPEAKER_03]: So my next pitcher is a guy that hasn't pitched a ton, but he's one of the newest top 100 prospects JJ.

24:29.308 --> 24:32.051
[SPEAKER_03]: He's technically in the miners now, but did pitch in the big leagues.

24:34.033 --> 24:40.080
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, can I count him as a starter because he has not, he did not, I will give him that DDA Fuentes can be a starter.

24:40.500 --> 24:45.085
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, then I am going to take DDA Fuentes, and I'm going to plug him in as a starter.

24:45.672 --> 24:52.843
[SPEAKER_03]: You could put him as a reliever if you wanted to, but you can put him as a doctor, flexibility to do that will fill the starter spot and then if we have to move them over to release her.

24:53.003 --> 24:54.585
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe that he did start it.

24:55.166 --> 24:58.792
[SPEAKER_01]: He did start like to follow the south towards, you know, started the third base last year.

24:58.812 --> 25:00.414
[SPEAKER_01]: You're Fuente started in the majors last year.

25:00.474 --> 25:01.536
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

25:01.776 --> 25:02.437
[SPEAKER_01]: So yes, he did.

25:02.598 --> 25:03.739
[SPEAKER_01]: He comes to the start.

25:04.220 --> 25:05.482
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

25:05.502 --> 25:06.263
[SPEAKER_01]: Back to me.

25:07.525 --> 25:10.209
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to fill my relief pitching spot.

25:10.790 --> 25:15.897
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that that's one that I can kind of, you know, I can't even take part or mess it really.

25:16.398 --> 25:19.562
[SPEAKER_01]: I, because I've already filled three starter spots.

25:19.923 --> 25:20.904
[SPEAKER_01]: So we only have three.

25:21.826 --> 25:23.408
[SPEAKER_01]: Rett louder sitting on the board for me.

25:24.029 --> 25:27.013
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh wait, wait a second.

25:27.273 --> 25:32.020
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of the early ever thrown or relief inning because if so, cause I haven't taken Bubba Chandler yet either.

25:32.982 --> 25:36.807
[SPEAKER_01]: We may have to add another starting picture to this for both of us.

25:38.795 --> 25:40.137
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're not for you.

25:40.517 --> 25:45.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm going to take again, because he's one that you still could take.

25:46.226 --> 25:50.051
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Justin Crawford for the fillies and I'm going to put him in center for now.

25:50.692 --> 25:53.296
[SPEAKER_01]: You can play both, but I'm going to put him mainly.

25:53.316 --> 25:55.018
[SPEAKER_01]: I like Crawford.

25:55.038 --> 25:56.741
[SPEAKER_01]: I like Crawford probably more than most.

25:57.061 --> 26:03.030
[SPEAKER_01]: I, yes, if you want to tell me that he hits the ball on the ground a lot, I 100% that is true.

26:03.719 --> 26:06.745
[SPEAKER_01]: that can work, it does limit his impact.

26:07.206 --> 26:11.835
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're going to have one of those guys, have a guy who hits 300 every year and that's what Justin Crawford does.

26:12.276 --> 26:22.597
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm someone who's basically, I kind of like this profile, I think more, I'm a Chandler Simpson's biggest fan.

26:22.958 --> 26:23.719
[SPEAKER_01]: So,

26:23.699 --> 26:33.550
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Justin Crawford has way more power than Chandler Simpson trying to substitute for 11 coming into the day if I will note and playing much better defense as well.

26:33.971 --> 26:35.713
[SPEAKER_01]: So okay, so I'm going to take Justin Crawford.

26:36.774 --> 26:47.186
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I am going to take one burrito at second because I don't really like my other choices.

26:47.487 --> 26:52.052
[SPEAKER_01]: If that's that is where we are kind of running out of players

26:52.876 --> 26:57.141
[SPEAKER_01]: I was, I could, I was eyeing Nick York, I, I think I'm, I'm good.

26:57.161 --> 26:59.303
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to go with Juan Brito.

26:59.864 --> 27:08.074
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, again, his up and could be a very long-term productive player for the Guardian sort for something.

27:08.094 --> 27:08.614
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

27:08.874 --> 27:16.964
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I'm drafting these teams exactly the way I draft fantasy teams, JJ, which is I load up on hitters and I sharpen the, I shop in the bargain bin for pitch.

27:16.984 --> 27:20.588
[SPEAKER_03]: I get one ace and then I, then I shop for bargains on the pitching side.

27:23.200 --> 27:30.030
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, is it my, my, my teacher, you get to right, I am going to actually pivot a little bit.

27:31.131 --> 27:36.018
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to take a my because I've been very concerned by the early looks.

27:36.038 --> 27:39.744
[SPEAKER_03]: He had one great start and injuries other things, the adjustment stuff.

27:40.505 --> 27:42.568
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to gamble here because he's been pretty bad.

27:42.868 --> 27:44.410
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the worst rookie starting pitchers.

27:44.451 --> 27:45.512
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take granted.

27:46.977 --> 27:53.887
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe in the brewer's ability to sort of get this guy's skills and stuff to translate.

27:53.967 --> 27:55.269
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a really deep arsenal.

27:56.110 --> 27:58.994
[SPEAKER_03]: They're gonna hone in on the right things and I think they're going to get him good.

27:59.094 --> 28:04.261
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm kind of excited for what Sprote could be by the end of the season, especially if he stays healthy.

28:04.682 --> 28:07.646
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm not concerned about the early struggles JJ.

28:07.706 --> 28:11.331
[SPEAKER_03]: So that will be my first pick this round.

28:11.311 --> 28:14.396
[SPEAKER_03]: I know I still have that center field spot that's easy to fill.

28:15.358 --> 28:20.046
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a corner out field spot and I have a relief pitching spot left.

28:20.226 --> 28:23.171
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to also take a starter because Fuentes can go either way.

28:23.912 --> 28:24.373
[SPEAKER_03]: That's true.

28:24.433 --> 28:25.916
[SPEAKER_03]: I could also take a starter.

28:26.557 --> 28:30.383
[SPEAKER_03]: I could take Tetsuya Mai and plug them in there if I wanted to.

28:30.667 --> 28:31.689
[SPEAKER_03]: But you don't want to.

28:32.290 --> 28:39.282
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to, and I feel like I probably should hold off into the last round before I take Carson Bench.

28:40.063 --> 28:42.447
[SPEAKER_03]: But I'm going to do myself a favor here.

28:42.507 --> 28:47.916
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think I'm going to take Carson Bench, and I'm going to plug him in at center.

28:48.976 --> 28:51.600
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that he's kind of underproduced a little bit this season.

28:51.640 --> 28:53.723
[SPEAKER_03]: Neither of us are worried.

28:54.224 --> 28:59.011
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think the 161 batting average on balls and play the underlying skill stuff looks good.

29:00.093 --> 29:04.740
[SPEAKER_03]: You go and look at the, you know, if you're a stat cast slider guy, he's got all the red sliders.

29:04.860 --> 29:08.485
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think that turned around once again and I'm not concerned at all.

29:08.525 --> 29:11.710
[SPEAKER_03]: He would have gotten way earlier had you not taken no one to play it.

29:12.736 --> 29:22.972
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I would also say with this is, yes, I completely agree you're being strategic and what I would also say with this is is much like we talk off Connor Griffin the guys who are kind of making the bigger jump.

29:24.034 --> 29:31.425
[SPEAKER_01]: Them having a little bit more of an acclamation period is not shocking either so so you took sproat and you took car some binge.

29:32.587 --> 29:38.777
[SPEAKER_01]: Comes back to me and I've got three two picks and I've got three spots left to do okay.

29:40.833 --> 29:57.553
[SPEAKER_01]: The worst one left for me, just being completely clear about it, is first space because there's not a whole lot of, so I'm going to slide the silo to first base.

29:57.613 --> 30:06.503
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to do that and then that kind of opens it up and then having done that,

30:06.989 --> 30:12.198
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, to be honest, we are getting, well, there is not a ton of bats out here period at this point.

30:12.579 --> 30:20.954
[SPEAKER_01]: We've gone through most of them, but I'm going to take Jefferson Quero and make him my DH.

30:21.615 --> 30:30.330
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, that's an unusual DH, I will admit I am

30:30.682 --> 30:35.951
[SPEAKER_01]: Possibilities for Quarro I do hope his arm fully comes back did not last year has not so far.

30:36.012 --> 30:36.372
[SPEAKER_01]: This year.

30:36.392 --> 30:40.179
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like from post the shoulder injury, but he has been up this year.

30:40.239 --> 30:47.472
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully still is going to have a very long productive career so that so that gives me one and now.

30:47.492 --> 30:53.663
[SPEAKER_01]: I have you have taken a cardinal.

30:53.823 --> 30:54.765
[SPEAKER_01]: I have not.

30:58.913 --> 31:01.356
[SPEAKER_01]: Basically, I, you know what, like, okay.

31:04.499 --> 31:06.141
[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing I did is I took burrito.

31:06.341 --> 31:09.905
[SPEAKER_01]: I could have taken Carson Williams and looking back on it, maybe I should've done that.

31:09.985 --> 31:20.175
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm gonna take Nathan Church from my outfield spot, because kind of like his back better than really much else, so that's left at this point.

31:22.538 --> 31:23.559
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't take Dillon Beaver's.

31:24.040 --> 31:25.461
[SPEAKER_01]: You can, I can't.

31:25.728 --> 31:34.121
[SPEAKER_03]: So that the tricky thing JJ is two of the next picks I'd like to make are both Orioles.

31:35.543 --> 31:41.732
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I'm going to be smart JJ and I am going to take Dillon Beavers from my last corner outfield spot.

31:42.153 --> 31:48.522
[SPEAKER_03]: The other guy I was thinking about with was Anthony Newnyas who's been phenomenal in relief to date.

31:49.844 --> 31:55.212
[SPEAKER_03]: I will tell you that was going to be my

31:55.833 --> 31:57.757
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is my last pick.

31:58.558 --> 32:02.986
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take Bradley Rodriguez of the judge right.

32:03.547 --> 32:09.518
[SPEAKER_03]: Brangley Rodriguez is the proud of the GLE Y Rodriguez.

32:09.799 --> 32:12.143
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been really good across seven of his parents.

32:12.163 --> 32:12.644
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't far.

32:13.706 --> 32:14.247
[SPEAKER_03]: You know.

32:14.480 --> 32:20.647
[SPEAKER_03]: like less than a walk per 9, close to 10 strikeouts per 9, no Carlos hates them.

32:20.667 --> 32:24.232
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to be using those numbers, but I think with relievers, it's fine.

32:24.252 --> 32:29.378
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think he's only allowed one earned run so far on the season.

32:29.398 --> 32:30.820
[SPEAKER_03]: So he looks pretty good.

32:30.920 --> 32:31.881
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm kind of excited about it.

32:31.921 --> 32:32.842
[SPEAKER_03]: The stuff's always been good.

32:32.882 --> 32:35.726
[SPEAKER_03]: Remember filling in for a couple of pod rays list.

32:35.766 --> 32:40.952
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think I might have actually put him on to the pod rays list a few years ago for the first time.

32:41.092 --> 32:43.575
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think Rodriguez is an interesting name.

32:45.209 --> 32:46.911
[SPEAKER_01]: So that is your team filled out.

32:47.612 --> 32:51.376
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go with Anthony Nunez with the Orioles to wrap up.

32:51.416 --> 33:00.666
[SPEAKER_01]: My team, the wonderful story of a short stop, was drafted, then went back to college.

33:01.327 --> 33:03.890
[SPEAKER_01]: And then was, became a sign as a picture.

33:04.050 --> 33:05.472
[SPEAKER_01]: And here he is in the big leagues.

33:05.792 --> 33:09.636
[SPEAKER_01]: That's developed in success story, traded to the Orioles at the deadline last year.

33:09.916 --> 33:11.318
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been really good so far.

33:12.040 --> 33:18.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of think like the, okay, I would say the Oriol though, oh, I do have an Oriol.

33:18.346 --> 33:19.387
[SPEAKER_01]: I do have a style.

33:19.427 --> 33:20.148
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't take it.

33:20.328 --> 33:21.729
[SPEAKER_03]: You couldn't, that's what you couldn't take.

33:21.749 --> 33:22.970
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I can't take him.

33:23.271 --> 33:23.931
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't take him.

33:24.592 --> 33:25.933
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm glad he got a shine though.

33:26.374 --> 33:29.777
[SPEAKER_03]: He deserved his shine in this moment regardless of whether he can be taken.

33:29.957 --> 33:31.318
[SPEAKER_03]: This draft or not.

33:31.338 --> 33:32.579
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

33:32.599 --> 33:40.647
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to have to really scramble a little bit here because there are not a whole lot of, uh,

33:40.998 --> 33:44.665
[SPEAKER_01]: pictures who I really want to take.

33:45.165 --> 33:47.289
[SPEAKER_01]: You took Bradley has been good.

33:47.309 --> 33:56.005
[SPEAKER_01]: I should take Peyton Palette the rule five pick, but no, I should take Carter Bomber the rule five pick, but no.

33:59.932 --> 34:01.535
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to go with Cody Lawyerson?

34:03.198 --> 34:04.440
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is a

34:06.479 --> 34:13.536
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a thin group, let's just be clear here, you know, like, yeah.

34:13.556 --> 34:15.460
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go, I don't have a giant yet.

34:15.540 --> 34:17.224
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll go Caleb Kilion.

34:17.986 --> 34:19.750
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

34:19.770 --> 34:20.151
[SPEAKER_01]: There we go.

34:23.590 --> 34:26.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we will say here, guys, we left out.

34:26.395 --> 34:27.658
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll cover that really quickly.

34:27.979 --> 34:29.101
[SPEAKER_01]: We only could take one protein.

34:29.321 --> 34:29.922
[SPEAKER_01]: I screwed up.

34:30.363 --> 34:33.650
[SPEAKER_01]: If I had to do over again, I would have taken Boba Chandler over Connelly early.

34:34.070 --> 34:34.852
[SPEAKER_01]: That was my screw up.

34:35.373 --> 34:41.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause I then blocked it by taking shults and all three of those guys are purely starters except for them in the reliever.

34:41.849 --> 34:44.251
[SPEAKER_01]: You mentioned our group has to add a relief appearance.

34:44.952 --> 34:45.833
[SPEAKER_03]: Huh?

34:45.853 --> 34:47.655
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Baba had a relief appearance last year.

34:48.276 --> 34:55.183
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, if Baba had a relief appearance, then that says, I'm gonna double check, I'm almost positive his debut might have been a relief appearance.

34:56.104 --> 34:58.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, he had three Baba Chandler is my reliever.

34:59.167 --> 34:59.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, thank you.

35:00.428 --> 35:00.989
[SPEAKER_03]: No problem.

35:01.029 --> 35:02.030
[SPEAKER_01]: That makes it better.

35:02.530 --> 35:08.316
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like playing saves, holds leagues and points leagues that have relief starting pitcher eligibility.

35:08.336 --> 35:11.299
[SPEAKER_03]: So I knew all those guys like in the middle of March.

35:12.376 --> 35:17.045
[SPEAKER_01]: So, let's just try to go through real quick, guys who we left out.

35:17.166 --> 35:24.701
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say that Rhett louder, you know, again, I just ran out of starters.

35:24.801 --> 35:25.984
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have happily taken him.

35:28.388 --> 35:29.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Foster Griffin hadn't been bad.

35:30.152 --> 35:34.080
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't gonna take him, but Foster Griffin has not been bad.

35:36.288 --> 35:36.969
[SPEAKER_01]: hit or wise.

35:37.811 --> 35:40.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyone that was left out there that you're like, Oh, wish I had a chance.

35:41.117 --> 35:43.121
[SPEAKER_01]: I could have, like I said, I Carson Williams.

35:43.762 --> 35:48.632
[SPEAKER_01]: I could have taken Carson Williams and moved freeland to second move the Gonnago to third and put Williams at short.

35:49.153 --> 35:50.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Still a little worried about the bat, though.

35:52.775 --> 35:56.581
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, yeah, I don't know if there's anybody like hitting wise.

35:56.601 --> 35:57.703
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, certainly there were pictures.

35:57.743 --> 36:06.776
[SPEAKER_03]: I would have taken louder others as I had mentioned, but was blocked for those guys Parker, Messick, being another one that, you know, I wish I had an opportunity to take.

36:08.759 --> 36:20.217
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I think like overall on the hitting side, no, I mean, I love, I honestly love my lineup.

36:20.652 --> 36:25.298
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like so obviously, I'm going to run through these real quick for the podcast listeners.

36:25.959 --> 36:29.984
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jeff's team, catch your Moesis Bausteras for Spaceman's house tour.

36:30.324 --> 36:32.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Second Baseman J.J. Weatherhold, short stop, kind of Griffin.

[SPEAKER_01]: Third Baseman Kazakamoto, corner out theaters chased a lotter and Dylan Beaver's Center Filter Carson Binge, the age moon at talk of Mark Hommie, starting pictures Andrew Painter,

36:49.829 --> 37:09.497

37:10.058 --> 37:11.280

37:37.268 --> 37:40.491
[SPEAKER_02]: It's

37:41.669 --> 37:43.173
[SPEAKER_00]: Ridge Wall at five and one.

37:43.193 --> 37:45.218
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a wallet, it's a charger.

37:46.381 --> 37:53.679
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at this thing, it sticks to your phone, you push the button, it charges your phone while, you can charge two different items at the same time.

37:53.719 --> 37:55.965
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and don't forget, while it's charging.

37:57.177 --> 37:59.800
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a little lean to John.

38:00.360 --> 38:01.542
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll help it sit right there.

38:01.822 --> 38:02.803
[SPEAKER_00]: Appreciate your ridge wall.

38:02.863 --> 38:04.184

[SPEAKER_02]: Which is great for me.

38:05.446 --> 38:06.947
[SPEAKER_02]: If I'm at the airport, I'm watching a game.

38:07.207 --> 38:10.831
[SPEAKER_02]: I can charge five devices, and then I can just watch something on the phone.

38:10.991 --> 38:12.072
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, they still have the wall.

38:12.092 --> 38:12.933

[SPEAKER_01]: And now, we are going to do the same thing, but with a little bit of a tweak.

38:42.525 --> 38:46.270
[SPEAKER_01]: Prospect team, we're going to make it a little harder on ourselves.

38:46.350 --> 38:53.678
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want to just recite the top 100 in order or anything like that.

38:54.907 --> 38:56.831
[SPEAKER_01]: six top hundred prospects per team.

38:57.031 --> 38:58.834
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have to ration out.

38:58.874 --> 39:04.946
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to, you're going to be picking 14 players, but you're only going to get six top hundred.

39:05.006 --> 39:06.008
[SPEAKER_01]: So you've got to make sure.

39:06.309 --> 39:08.733
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is the top hundred as we are recording this tonight.

39:09.274 --> 39:11.899
[SPEAKER_01]: So like a DDF went to as who just went on.

39:12.580 --> 39:13.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Juan Valera counts.

39:14.063 --> 39:15.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Juan Valera just joined the hundred.

39:15.326 --> 39:16.267
[SPEAKER_01]: So Juan Valera counts.

39:16.828 --> 39:18.231
[SPEAKER_01]: One change here.

39:19.223 --> 39:25.321
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do, I said on the graphic, there are three starting pictures, one reliever, no, we're not going to pick a reliever for the prospect team.

39:25.361 --> 39:29.132
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to pick, uh, we'll pick five starters, so.

39:30.158 --> 39:34.723
[SPEAKER_01]: And you must have played the position, so Hayes was mod day pictured here.

39:34.783 --> 39:42.572
[SPEAKER_01]: You can play him at second, short, or third, but you can't play someone even at their projected to eventually move to a position if they've never played it.

39:42.592 --> 39:45.015
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and you cannot have played in the major's this year.

39:45.315 --> 39:49.900
[SPEAKER_01]: Jonah Tong, eligible, Noah Schultz, because of tonight, not eligible.

39:50.521 --> 39:58.630
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I believe you picked first in the first draft, so I will pick first in this one,

40:00.584 --> 40:08.938
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you're watching on the YouTube channel and you'll see the graphic here, you probably have an idea, I think that this is probably the easiest decision out there.

40:10.701 --> 40:14.187
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Haseus Maudet as my number one pick.

40:15.509 --> 40:26.187
[SPEAKER_01]: The guy who is the best prospect remaining in the minors has had a great start to the season at AA, I would say, you know, showing it from both sides of the plate,

40:27.162 --> 40:30.586
[SPEAKER_01]: You're, again, he's just a special special prospect.

40:30.626 --> 40:35.291
[SPEAKER_01]: He will be our number one prospect right after Conrad Riff and Graduates.

40:36.052 --> 40:40.357
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think there's even like, I'm sorry, we could try to create false suspense on that.

40:40.517 --> 40:41.458
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no suspense.

40:42.059 --> 40:42.499
[SPEAKER_01]: We know it.

40:43.100 --> 40:45.503
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah.

40:45.523 --> 40:47.184
[SPEAKER_01]: So that is the case.

40:47.825 --> 40:49.347
[SPEAKER_01]: That is my number one pick.

40:49.928 --> 40:51.229
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jeff, you get to take two.

40:52.289 --> 40:56.517
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to I'm going to stay in line with the top 100 here and clear out our top five.

40:56.657 --> 40:57.980
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm going to take Walker Jenkins.

40:58.000 --> 41:01.707
[SPEAKER_03]: He's hitting the ball harder, not necessarily at great angles.

41:02.408 --> 41:03.350
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll deal with that later.

41:03.370 --> 41:04.532
[SPEAKER_03]: You got the skills here.

41:04.592 --> 41:10.062
[SPEAKER_03]: We got the actual, you know,

41:11.122 --> 41:15.412
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to trust the process here and of course I took chase to lot, I'm going to take Jenkins.

41:15.712 --> 41:18.519
[SPEAKER_03]: I love my injured outfielders apparently JJ.

41:18.559 --> 41:25.936
[SPEAKER_03]: So Jenkins going to be my first pick, which will block me from a lot of good twins players in the stop 100, frankly, that are exciting.

41:25.976 --> 41:27.740
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know, I'm willing to do that.

41:27.880 --> 41:30.025
[SPEAKER_03]: My next pick and before I send it back to you,

41:30.005 --> 41:33.089
[SPEAKER_03]: He's already got the big money, hasn't debuted yet.

41:33.189 --> 41:36.954
[SPEAKER_03]: Colt Emerson, shortstop, plug it in for me.

41:37.315 --> 41:40.098
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm one of the high guys internally on Emerson.

41:40.258 --> 41:45.766
[SPEAKER_03]: I love the changes that he made at the late last year, getting to more power that was through the zone even longer.

41:45.826 --> 41:47.207
[SPEAKER_03]: He's always had the plate skills.

41:47.227 --> 41:48.269
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's a pretty good mover.

41:48.749 --> 41:59.944
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe not going to be the best offensive shortstop that's going to get drafted in this draft, but rather, I think, in stick at the position or at very least, be a very strong second

42:01.257 --> 42:06.202
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to put, by the way, if you're watching on the YouTube channel, I'm putting top-hundred prospects in a talent.

42:06.282 --> 42:10.446
[SPEAKER_01]: So each of us gets six of those that is three picks, that is three top-hundred prospects.

42:10.466 --> 42:16.992
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm guessing that most of the top-hundred prospects are going to go first, but maybe we'll get strategic on this.

42:17.653 --> 42:27.923
[SPEAKER_01]: So this one's going to be really fun because I'm trying to quickly calculate, because like you said, you take, like, you took a mariner,

42:28.139 --> 42:37.235
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of other interesting mariners like I will tell you right now Ryan Sloan is probably going to be on the Cooper he's going to be a Cooper's townbound player mind you know my team.

42:38.056 --> 42:48.154
[SPEAKER_01]: And you got to listen to the choice too you go right to your left you got to write your left to every you prefer so but at same time I'm leaving a lot of brewers for you obviously.

42:48.174 --> 42:51.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I think.

42:54.852 --> 43:17.232
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I am going to start by going with Sefer and Andes, I know he's a little ways away, I also know I'm very much a fan of what we've seen so far, we kind of said that we thought there was a pretty good chance that he could just be too good for the FSL.

43:17.465 --> 43:24.672
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so far what we're seeing is he looks like he's too good for the FSL and may have to be bumped up before too long.

43:25.292 --> 43:27.894
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's my first picture off the board.

43:28.895 --> 43:32.659
[SPEAKER_01]: There are a lot more that can be taken.

43:32.699 --> 43:46.071
[SPEAKER_01]: See, it's funny, like I'm not just going straight off the order because there are guys where I'm like, okay, if I don't put it on, huh?

43:49.595 --> 43:49.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.

43:50.438 --> 43:52.324
[SPEAKER_01]: See, this is where this gets really tough.

43:53.708 --> 43:53.949
[SPEAKER_01]: Is...

43:56.076 --> 43:56.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

44:00.732 --> 44:01.815
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually...

44:03.449 --> 44:11.561
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, I will stay the pretty close to chalk for now, because there's not really, I don't feel as much that there's another tiger I want.

44:12.022 --> 44:14.285
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Max Clark is coming off the board.

44:14.686 --> 44:15.667
[SPEAKER_03]: That was my next pick.

44:16.188 --> 44:21.235
[SPEAKER_03]: That was my, because I looked at it and I was, I don't really care about we talked about rain or top of the show.

44:21.295 --> 44:22.277
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm worried about the swing.

44:22.617 --> 44:24.400
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I'm not taking those away for Sanio.

44:24.901 --> 44:26.964
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm not going to take Jose's first for Sanio.

44:28.726 --> 44:30.068
[SPEAKER_03]: Perhaps, perhaps that's one.

44:30.429 --> 44:32.612
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm also going to pivot away

44:32.795 --> 44:36.639
[SPEAKER_03]: from something I said to you, pre-show about taking Blake Burke at first base.

44:36.659 --> 44:39.642
[SPEAKER_03]: They got another first base, but I didn't think about it, but I have another first base.

44:39.742 --> 44:42.465
[SPEAKER_03]: So you come back to me, I'll make my couple of things.

44:42.485 --> 44:43.106
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's time to you.

44:43.126 --> 44:43.767
[SPEAKER_03]: You got two picks.

44:43.807 --> 44:44.267
[SPEAKER_03]: There we go.

44:44.728 --> 44:58.903
[SPEAKER_03]: So my next pick, who would I would have gone Clark and then Peyton Toli, I actually think that based on the early returns in AAA, there's now a case to be made that

44:58.883 --> 45:04.238
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's, I think there's a real chance he might, he could be better than Treyus to have his long term.

45:04.258 --> 45:09.552
[SPEAKER_03]: If the second area is continue to tick up like this, less of an injury track record,

45:10.004 --> 45:18.199
[SPEAKER_03]: a lot less injury concerns when Toli was drafted them and you savage, still love you savage could end up back on my team.

45:18.981 --> 45:27.316
[SPEAKER_03]: I am going to take Peyton Toli there at my first pitcher pitching spot.

45:27.456 --> 45:33.868
[SPEAKER_03]: So already filled that one up, the next guy I'm going to take here.

45:35.114 --> 45:40.305
[SPEAKER_03]: is my first Los Angeles Dodger and there's a lot of outfielders that you can pick from, but that's okay.

45:41.067 --> 45:44.594
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm happy just taking your leftovers when it comes to Dodgers outfielders.

45:45.035 --> 45:45.436
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be good.

45:46.178 --> 45:46.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Whoa.

45:46.578 --> 45:48.643
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because there's two in the top 20.

45:48.803 --> 45:50.928
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's just about, you know, what do you want?

45:51.429 --> 45:53.393
[SPEAKER_03]: I already got Walker Jenkins in Centerfield.

45:54.048 --> 45:55.950
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take Jose de Paula.

45:56.090 --> 46:08.244
[SPEAKER_03]: Just the idea of Jose de Paula Walker Jenkins and Colt Emerson in the middle of a lineup, that's a tough group to strike out, gonna walk a lot, and there's some power upside there as well.

46:08.405 --> 46:14.352
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel really good about how this team's gonna age in three or four years and how the middle of that order's gonna look.

46:14.372 --> 46:17.355
[SPEAKER_03]: So, going with Jose de Paula here.

46:18.550 --> 46:20.933
[SPEAKER_01]: So you've taken two out filters.

46:21.094 --> 46:22.696
[SPEAKER_01]: I have one, I have a short stop.

46:22.736 --> 46:23.617
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a short stop.

46:23.657 --> 46:25.340
[SPEAKER_01]: We both have one starting picture.

46:26.441 --> 46:31.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, now I'm gonna put the first wild card pick here.

46:32.229 --> 46:32.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay?

46:34.252 --> 46:37.717
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna take Tanner Franklin.

46:37.737 --> 46:48.152
[SPEAKER_01]: And the reason I'm taking Tanner Franklin here is now it does leave a good catcher for you.

46:48.723 --> 46:53.748
[SPEAKER_01]: Taking Tanner Franklin, I feel like is a very good non-top 100 player.

46:54.389 --> 46:56.731
[SPEAKER_01]: So we only get six top 100 players.

46:57.151 --> 47:01.355
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like Tanner Franklin is one of the best pictures not currently on the top 100.

47:01.816 --> 47:11.966
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm gonna shake it up a little bit, go in that direction, cause I've already taken three top 100 players and I only have so many.

47:14.728 --> 47:18.392
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm gonna take Tanner Franklin,

47:18.710 --> 47:43.457
[SPEAKER_01]: That gives me one picture, and I am going to take, I'm going to take Bryce Eldridge now, which does leave you, if you want, uh, just war, but that was one of the reasons that, uh, I didn't take Eldridge last pick.

47:43.477 --> 47:45.139
[SPEAKER_03]: Plus there's another first space now.

47:47.515 --> 47:49.600
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so I've got Bryce Aldruz.

47:49.640 --> 47:50.603
[SPEAKER_01]: I took Tanner Franklin.

47:50.944 --> 47:55.074
[SPEAKER_01]: I have used four of my top 100 players now, but I do feel like Bryce Aldruz.

47:55.375 --> 47:57.861
[SPEAKER_01]: First base is a position where there's not a ton of guys.

47:57.962 --> 48:00.007
[SPEAKER_01]: You have someone that you like, but it's on a ton of guys.

48:00.548 --> 48:00.688
[SPEAKER_03]: No.

48:01.571 --> 48:02.633
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, agree with that.

48:02.834 --> 48:04.478
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna, if it's back to me.

48:05.150 --> 48:07.133
[SPEAKER_03]: I am actually going to plug in my first basement.

48:07.153 --> 48:08.615
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I'm going to take Ralphie Velasquez.

48:08.815 --> 48:10.197
[SPEAKER_03]: I just really believe in the bat.

48:11.099 --> 48:12.020
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought about him too.

48:12.581 --> 48:14.504
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought, I think Ralphie can really hit.

48:15.305 --> 48:22.616
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's no reason for me not to sort of jump in with both feet at this point with Ralphie Velasquez.

48:22.696 --> 48:26.061
[SPEAKER_03]: So he's going to be, he's going to be,

48:26.783 --> 48:29.286
[SPEAKER_03]: My first basement and I'm going to fill my catcher spot as well.

48:29.326 --> 48:30.087
[SPEAKER_03]: You kind of talked about it.

48:30.107 --> 48:31.329
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take around on our regas.

48:31.489 --> 48:32.691
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to get silly here.

48:33.352 --> 48:36.276
[SPEAKER_03]: I know I got Joe Swar and some other guys are going to be available to me.

48:36.836 --> 48:40.962
[SPEAKER_03]: So in the private regas, the plug and minute catcher for now, look at the moving to.

48:43.665 --> 48:45.588
[SPEAKER_03]: DH at any point time or first base.

48:47.250 --> 48:50.935
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is where this does get tricky is.

48:52.636 --> 49:05.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, this is going to be fun because we're going to have to each pick like half a player from like half of the different rosters and we're having to go off of the top 100 as well.

49:06.332 --> 49:12.880
[SPEAKER_01]: And to be honest, like I'm kind of a little focused on getting my non top 100 players.

49:13.180 --> 49:13.841
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe too much.

49:14.322 --> 49:17.105
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see if that is ends up being a fool's errand for me.

49:17.826 --> 49:20.449
[SPEAKER_01]: But with that being the case.

49:22.015 --> 49:23.237
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got two picks here, right?

49:24.059 --> 49:28.508
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking, I'm gonna move Modeta third, because you can play there.

49:28.888 --> 49:44.158
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna put Daniel Pierce, we already talked about a non-top 100 short stop who I think is a could be on the top 100 before too long and I am going to take Justin Gonzalez

49:45.725 --> 49:48.048
[SPEAKER_01]: in the corner outfield spot.

49:48.809 --> 49:58.101
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, so that to me, I feel really good about I feel like I got three guys who are not far off the top hundred, but don't quite count as top hundred players for me.

49:58.702 --> 50:07.233
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I will say, the other thing I just did there though by taking Justin Gonzalez while I like his a pick, but I just gave you, you already had Peyton totally.

50:07.253 --> 50:11.278
[SPEAKER_01]: So I didn't, but we're leaving a lot of pictures on the board, you know.

50:11.298 --> 50:12.660
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not.

50:12.640 --> 50:20.332
[SPEAKER_03]: We can't take ions and we can't take the Lera, we were saucy enough to want Marcus Phillips, can't take Marcus Phillips.

50:21.073 --> 50:23.657
[SPEAKER_01]: So, okay, so those are my two picks in this back to you.

50:25.500 --> 50:34.193
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so I can't take Eli well, it's because I already have six top on the prospect, so I've already cleared that barrier.

50:34.949 --> 50:38.414
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take a guy that I'm kind of obsessed with a little bit.

50:38.534 --> 50:42.280
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he could be a top 100 prospect if he continues to hit.

50:43.001 --> 50:44.704
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's Devin Fitzgerald.

50:45.445 --> 50:49.711
[SPEAKER_03]: I just need to double check right now if he's played third base this season.

50:50.172 --> 50:51.774
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe that he has played.

50:51.814 --> 50:56.942
[SPEAKER_03]: He's always only played second base this season, but did play third base last season.

50:56.982 --> 50:58.705
[SPEAKER_03]: Does it have to be this season?

50:58.725 --> 51:02.931
[SPEAKER_01]: They're based last season counts, because especially for a lot of him who's now.

51:02.911 --> 51:09.450
[SPEAKER_03]: For now, we'll put them over at third base, and I will plug in my, my pinky here, Devon Fitzgerald.

51:10.533 --> 51:13.140
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to fill.

51:14.032 --> 51:17.438
[SPEAKER_03]: my final outfield spot as well.

51:18.240 --> 51:22.066
[SPEAKER_03]: And I really don't have to worry about blocking myself with any other astros.

51:22.086 --> 51:23.990
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm gonna take Kevin Alvarez here.

51:24.010 --> 51:34.188
[SPEAKER_03]: Really interesting young bat came off the DSL last year, skipped the Florida State, I see Florida complex league and is now in Lowe.

51:34.208 --> 51:35.811
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw him a little bit on the backfield as well.

51:36.071 --> 51:37.594
[SPEAKER_03]: Actually, in the game with them, it's Gerald.

51:37.654 --> 51:38.115
[SPEAKER_03]: So,

51:38.095 --> 51:46.026
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, an interesting combination there to of my breakout team players from this offseason, but I'm blocked for many of my breakout team bidgers.

51:46.506 --> 51:50.812
[SPEAKER_03]: One of which you have, and then others I have a player from every one of those teams.

51:50.872 --> 51:51.773
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm a player of being one.

51:53.315 --> 51:54.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

51:54.477 --> 52:02.468
[SPEAKER_01]: So you take Devon Fitzgerald and Kevin Alvarez, the uh, National's uh, short in-fielder, his playing third base for you and the Astros outfielder.

52:03.970 --> 52:06.533
[SPEAKER_01]: So you cannot take a top hundred

52:06.850 --> 52:07.692
[SPEAKER_01]: prospect now.

52:08.333 --> 52:11.720
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can just be verbal about it.

52:12.201 --> 52:22.362
[SPEAKER_01]: So tray is savage and Ryan Sloan are going to be mine, but they'll be my last picks because as long as I don't do something stupid where I block myself,

52:22.814 --> 52:25.177
[SPEAKER_01]: with by taking a BlueJair Amerinarium their mind.

52:25.518 --> 52:26.780
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're gonna be mine down the road.

52:27.401 --> 52:35.352
[SPEAKER_01]: So, okay, I will file that away for now, but that also means effectively, like Leo de Vries is not getting picked.

52:35.853 --> 52:38.336
[SPEAKER_01]: I would, you know, well, that's actually the thing.

52:38.417 --> 52:41.361
[SPEAKER_01]: I can also decide, do I want to take Leo de Vries?

52:41.942 --> 52:44.545
[SPEAKER_01]: I've also got to check, did Leo de Vries ever play?

52:49.012 --> 52:51.876
[SPEAKER_01]: See play to game other than shortstop.

52:53.543 --> 52:56.607
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he has played nowhere other than shortstop.

52:56.627 --> 52:57.928
[SPEAKER_01]: What about Daniel Pierce?

52:58.969 --> 53:06.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see, in his very brief career, he has played third base for one game.

53:07.059 --> 53:08.160
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Daniel Pierce.

53:08.921 --> 53:12.905
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm just going to get this one cleared out, so I don't screw this up.

53:13.526 --> 53:22.977
[SPEAKER_01]: I am going to take, I'm going to move Pierce to third base, moderate to second, and I am going to take Leo to freeze.

53:23.345 --> 53:30.215
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's too good of a player to leave on the board a young shortstop like that.

53:31.437 --> 53:37.005
[SPEAKER_01]: So that does mean I can only get one of the pictures I wanted, Ryan Silenter, Trace Savage, I'll figure that out later.

53:37.025 --> 53:44.256
[SPEAKER_01]: But now I need to really kind of go into the non top hundred world.

53:45.535 --> 54:01.855
[SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, my sleeper non-top-hundred catcher is off the board for me, because I would have been Nathan Fluelling, which would have been, I thought, a nice kind of like, you know, later round kind of guy, and that's not something I can do now.

54:03.237 --> 54:03.838
[SPEAKER_03]: Not an option.

54:05.039 --> 54:05.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Not an option.

54:07.102 --> 54:11.087
[SPEAKER_01]: So, okay, I'm going to,

54:16.130 --> 54:26.624
[SPEAKER_01]: So now we really do get into kind of like our guys and kind of stuff like that right like guys like so okay I've got to find a catcher I like who's a non top hundred prospect.

54:27.726 --> 54:36.297
[SPEAKER_01]: I need a corner outfielder and then a number like again a couple of starter three starting pictures, but I've got one already filed away.

54:38.080 --> 54:41.885
[SPEAKER_01]: So okay, I'm going to take one of your cheese balls here.

54:44.408 --> 54:44.989
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take.

54:45.948 --> 54:49.134
[SPEAKER_01]: David Hagenman with the D-Bax, there you go.

54:49.254 --> 54:51.718
[SPEAKER_03]: Was one of my next two picks is I was gonna fill in.

54:52.299 --> 54:54.764
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, especially it's also strategic.

54:55.285 --> 54:57.949
[SPEAKER_01]: Hagenman is a non-top under prospect and also a D-back.

54:57.969 --> 55:00.574
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not as many D-backs who I'm really looking at.

55:01.015 --> 55:02.758
[SPEAKER_01]: So that one feels good to me for that reason.

55:06.232 --> 55:08.575
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it, is it, is it my picker you have one more?

55:08.855 --> 55:11.559
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I did, I did deliveries and, and haggerman.

55:12.019 --> 55:12.280
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

55:13.121 --> 55:19.088
[SPEAKER_03]: My first pick, my first pick is going to be gauge would.

55:19.969 --> 55:22.212
[SPEAKER_03]: Not a top 100 prospect, but pretty close.

55:22.572 --> 55:30.783
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, I'm not terribly worried about, about any other fillies from missing out there.

55:30.803 --> 55:34.247
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I can't take 80 Miller because he's top 100 prospect.

55:34.362 --> 55:37.647
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so yeah, I'm going to end up going with him.

55:37.787 --> 55:43.896
[SPEAKER_03]: And also one of the reasons that we had talked about Blake Burke is maybe like my non top 100 first baseman.

55:43.916 --> 55:44.677
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's really good.

55:44.697 --> 55:45.478
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's interesting.

55:46.339 --> 55:48.122
[SPEAKER_03]: So it kind of held off on a brewer.

55:48.823 --> 55:52.388
[SPEAKER_03]: But the reason that I pivoted to Ralphie.

55:52.368 --> 55:59.702
[SPEAKER_03]: was because there's a lot of interesting pictures in this brewer's farm system that are off for top 100.

56:01.225 --> 56:05.753
[SPEAKER_03]: But I can't, you know, I can't take Sprote, who I took in the rookie draft.

56:06.138 --> 56:08.362
[SPEAKER_03]: Logan Henderson would have been rookie draft eligible as well.

56:08.402 --> 56:09.124
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't take him.

56:09.505 --> 56:11.629
[SPEAKER_03]: Bishop Letson is a top 100 prospects.

56:11.649 --> 56:14.114
[SPEAKER_03]: So I can't take Bishop Letson.

56:14.254 --> 56:20.727
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a little bit limited, but there are a few guys in this system that are kind of personal cheese balls of mine.

56:21.308 --> 56:26.458
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to go with Tyson Harden here.

56:27.130 --> 56:28.192
[SPEAKER_03]: This was a breakout.

56:28.212 --> 56:33.541
[SPEAKER_03]: I really hammered was all over last year was a chew-co guy, pitched in relief at Mississippi State.

56:34.042 --> 56:34.843
[SPEAKER_03]: Wasn't very good.

56:34.904 --> 56:38.049
[SPEAKER_03]: His first year, second year was a little bit better.

56:38.089 --> 56:41.375
[SPEAKER_03]: Bruce kind of figured some stuff out here with Haryon.

56:41.415 --> 56:43.198
[SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of like this perfect.

56:43.178 --> 56:49.624
[SPEAKER_03]: like storm of a of a brewer's guy with interesting pitch traits and kind of need to be developed as a starter.

56:50.044 --> 56:52.726
[SPEAKER_03]: They have the best finishing school I think in the mind.

56:52.806 --> 56:57.771
[SPEAKER_03]: So Tyson Hardin is going to be my second pitcher there as I start to fill in these starters.

56:58.932 --> 57:12.223
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm trying to manage to balance kind of the okay make sure I type it in but also I'm sitting here looking at my picks and all that because you know

57:12.406 --> 57:41.586
[SPEAKER_01]: The funny thing about it is, is that this actually does get pretty challenging pretty quickly now because like of what you just set, which is we're kind of locking out some teams, okay.

57:43.456 --> 57:46.242
[SPEAKER_01]: I need a DH and out filter and a catcher.

57:46.784 --> 57:51.815
[SPEAKER_01]: I do feel like the catcher is the really the trickiest one for me.

57:51.835 --> 57:56.807
[SPEAKER_01]: Is finding a catcher I really like.

57:59.015 --> 58:05.081
[SPEAKER_03]: who's not a top hundred prospect or or an email you haven't taken yet because I think I'm on team I haven't taken yet.

58:05.221 --> 58:07.683
[SPEAKER_03]: Amy and Bodine is somebody that I've thought about as a catcher.

58:07.723 --> 58:13.488
[SPEAKER_03]: I still might and maybe move a rainbow rod regus to DH but you can't take them because a Daniel pierced.

58:13.508 --> 58:21.035
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't take them up and I'm like as like a real deal like every day catcher that can hit enough and really play the position handle pitching staff.

58:21.416 --> 58:28.262
[SPEAKER_01]: Katie Bodine's pretty dang good.

58:29.626 --> 58:30.547
[SPEAKER_01]: at my catchers.

58:31.509 --> 58:36.936
[SPEAKER_01]: And kind of what you just said, it really is challenging for that reason.

58:36.976 --> 58:48.833
[SPEAKER_01]: And not only that, but I already have a cardinal, because the cardinals have a nice mix of non-top-hundred catchers, but

58:50.129 --> 58:56.998
[SPEAKER_01]: not, you know, I like Luke Stevenson a little bit, but I'm not taking him to take away my chances at taking Ryan Sloan.

58:57.839 --> 58:59.622
[SPEAKER_01]: Ethan Salis is a top hundred prospect.

58:59.742 --> 59:00.863
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not taking him.

59:00.883 --> 59:14.922
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm kind of talking this through while I'm looking because it's like, I mean, Eduardo Tait is not a,

59:16.117 --> 59:19.001
[SPEAKER_01]: not a top-hundred prospect also may not be a catcher.

59:20.203 --> 59:23.388
[SPEAKER_01]: But I've got to file that one away as a possibility.

59:25.231 --> 59:27.154
[SPEAKER_01]: Gabrielle Davelillo, I'm sorry.

59:27.194 --> 59:28.035
[SPEAKER_01]: I just can't go for that.

59:28.135 --> 59:28.676
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no.

59:29.237 --> 59:29.718
[SPEAKER_01]: Not right now.

59:32.382 --> 59:35.967
[SPEAKER_03]: You just became Darrell Hall there.

59:36.248 --> 59:38.431
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't go for that.

59:38.451 --> 59:44.200
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm kind of more of the psychic, you know.

59:45.665 --> 59:49.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you know what, I'm going completely off the board.

59:49.570 --> 59:50.732
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope, I already have a tiger.

59:50.792 --> 59:52.074
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't take Michael all of that out.

59:53.516 --> 59:56.981
[SPEAKER_01]: Whoa, this is going to be challenging.

59:59.284 --> 01:00:00.405
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a guardian.

[SPEAKER_01]: Cooper angle is my pick.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a close to the major's catcher.

[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to get that one cleared, because that was really stressing me out.

[SPEAKER_01]: I can find an outfielder, but that one was really stressing me out.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's again, it's difficult to find.

[SPEAKER_01]: And okay, having cleared that, I think I'm now going to go,

[SPEAKER_01]: This is actually easier.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take Tyson Lewis as my DH for now.

[SPEAKER_03]: Great.

[SPEAKER_01]: Again, a not too far off of the top 100 guy.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a red, so there we go.

[SPEAKER_01]: Back to you.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to double.

[SPEAKER_01]: You need two starters and a second basement in a DH.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to double up on a couple of lefties here.

[SPEAKER_03]: I already got two varieties, you got a lefty at the top, left handed pitching more valuable.

[SPEAKER_03]: We look at the numbers right now in the big leagues.

[SPEAKER_03]: I really like way in Lynn.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think that he's a really interesting arm.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's just off the top and over.

[SPEAKER_03]: It has a lot of high level experience too.

[SPEAKER_03]: Not only the WBC, but also reaching AA at such a young age.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's still only 20 years old, his good size.

[SPEAKER_03]: maybe doesn't have a ton of power.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think that that will come.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's only a couple of ticks that he needs and also the translation of velocity from the right-handed side to the left-handed side You know, you can give up a couple of ticks and he's got good secondary stuff.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know Mark Cheerle, one of our primary editors, does a phenomenal job covering the pirates, but also the athletics.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's got a 55 in the fastball, 55 in the curve ball, 55 in the change up in 60 command.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think that can translate.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then I'm going to take another one of my cheese balls who I've written about quite a bit.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that's Christian Oprah, another left hander from the white socks here.

[SPEAKER_03]: You don't have a white sock yet.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was hoping that they had stuck Billy Carlson at second base for a little bit, but they did not.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that made my decision pretty simple.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go with two lefties here, kick it back to you, and they got a fair outworm in a fine.

[SPEAKER_03]: My second baseman.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: I got a corner outfit or I don't need to worry about you taking a corner out there.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to clear my pictures off.

[SPEAKER_01]: So Ryan Sloan, who's I said, you know what?

[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, I'm going, I don't have a blue jam.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go trade you savage as much as I love Ryan Sloan.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take the guy who's already done the big leagues, worked his way back, but you know, that I feel really good about that.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I just had my other stronger in my head.

[SPEAKER_01]: And now I've got to remember who it was.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's very frustrating.

[SPEAKER_01]: Cause, oh, yeah, that really is frustrating.

[SPEAKER_01]: Cause I did have it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I had it in my head before, oh, I know who it is.

[SPEAKER_01]: And now I'm gonna take the role of the dice.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take a chance.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to put it I'm shoving it I'm going all in and I've got a pair of tens and I'm going to see you know that I'm liking what I'm going to see on the flop here because I'm taking Kevin to Frank of the Marlins who if at all pretty cool one.

[SPEAKER_01]: If it all breaks, like that could really be impressive a long ways away, there's risk there.

[SPEAKER_01]: But can you want to have a little fun with your last pitching pick?

[SPEAKER_01]: And that's one I'm feeling really, and again, they tomorrow I don't have a Marlin.

[SPEAKER_01]: So back to you for your final pick.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so I'm going to actually adjust my line up a little bit here JJ and we're going to move Devon Fitzgerald to second base he's played second base last year actually this year has played second base so that's fine moving him to second I'm going to go with one of my cheese balls from the breakout game and the Yankees Braves break out game there's that's the game you go to JJ you don't expect to see a whole lot of exciting stuff.

[SPEAKER_01]: I did see George Lumpard not expect to see a whole lot of exciting things.

[SPEAKER_03]: No.

[SPEAKER_03]: I did see George Lumpard look bad, who now looks phenomenal.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's a top owner of Prosper, so we can't take him, but a guy that could have been gone in this drafts and probably would have been a pretty good pick.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go with John Heal, that's GIO, it's Heal.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's how it's said he's played some third base, not this year, but the previous two years he has played some third base he's hitting pretty well to start the season in high as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: So the rate stats are kind of silly, but a 16.2% walker, he's got two home runs and nine stolen bases.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's a really exciting player actually and have brought him up as maybe a guy that's more like 125 to 151 75, but

[SPEAKER_03]: not too far off the top 100 for me at least.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's a really good player.

[SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to go with one of my binkies here, kind of solved my problem.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that just leaves me a d-h at this point, which is the free space.

[SPEAKER_03]: So you got another pick, so who's your d-h?

[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh.

[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I should have probably thought about that before I I bragged about having flexibility there.

[SPEAKER_03]: because now I'm like, oh man, who's the best hitter that I like, that's off of the top 100 that has pretty good upsides.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm gonna do?

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna take a guy that maybe I knew this when I pushed against you guys putting him around the top 100, because he hasn't debuted state side.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna go with Juan Sanchez.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I can kind of move from around where I want to.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I think he's put some third based and some short stop.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take Sanchez, plugging in my DH.

[SPEAKER_03]: I really like to look that I got.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think the baddest legit I think is going to hit a lot and probably be intermediate within a couple of weeks after the FSLs, FCL seasons.

[SPEAKER_03]: Second time I've done that tonight.

[SPEAKER_03]: FCL season begins.

[SPEAKER_03]: So one Sanchez, my last picture, Jay.

[SPEAKER_01]: OK, I have not taken a national.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right, newly minted right fielder, captain, who, we saw, I got to see in the spring break out game, look really good as a hitter.

[SPEAKER_01]: He was only DH in the time, but he is playing in the outfield now.

[SPEAKER_01]: So he absolutely fits as a corner outfielder, very excited to add him.

[SPEAKER_01]: I feel good about that one.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's not a last pick where I'm holding my nose.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's the last pick where I'm like, oh, I feel really good about that one.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I think we did a pretty good job of picking the outside to top 100 guys, maybe I took some risks here with hard and maybe I could have dug a little more, but you know, it's one of my, I think we're gonna have to do this again in the second half of the year.

[SPEAKER_01]: That was a lot of fun, and I think it also is instructive.

[SPEAKER_01]: It kind of helps you look at different systems and all that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I hope it's enjoyable as enjoyable to people as it was for us to do it.

[SPEAKER_01]: But to give the rundown of it again,

[SPEAKER_01]: Geoff's team, Ronio Rodriguez with the Cardinals, Ralphie Velasquez with the Guardians, Devon Fitzgerald, now of the National's formerly Rangers traded, Colt Emerson of the Mariners, Yon Heal of the Braves, Kevin Alvarez, the Astros, whose way to Paula of the Dodgers, Walker Jenkins of the twins, Juan Sanchez of the Blue Jays, Peyton told me of the Red Sox, gauge what are the Phillies, Tyson Harden of the Brewers, way in the Lynn of the Athletics,

[SPEAKER_01]: Cooper Engel of the Guardians, that catcher, Bryce Eldridge at first base to Giants.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hazel's mod a second, Leo de Vries with the A's at short.

[SPEAKER_01]: Daniel Pierce with the rays at third base, Gavin Feene of the Nationals, Corner Outfitter, as is justing his alls.

[SPEAKER_01]: The Red Sox Max Clark in center for the Tigers, Heisen Lewis of the Reds at D8, Sephirnandas of the Pirates at starting pitchers, Tanner Franklin of the Cardinals, David Hagman of the D-vax,

[SPEAKER_01]: of the blue jays and Kevin de Frank of the marlins are these other starting pictures.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, before we wrap this up, couple of guys like again, we're not even going through that many top hundred guys like we could like there's a lot of guys blocked right because

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we didn't take Josswark as solace.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like I wanted to take Josswark as solace.

[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to take Johnny level.

[SPEAKER_01]: You could take one giant.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I wanted to take Brody Hopkins.

[SPEAKER_01]: You could take one ray.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's so many players.

[SPEAKER_01]: I will say, Kendri Treo, I wanted, you know, like, I don't take a royal win.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was, I very much wanted to take Kendri Treo, but I was blocked on top 100.

[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want to take him over, try a savage.

[SPEAKER_01]: Anyone jump out any team that we left out that was like, oh, I wanted to take so and so.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think we didn't take any Yankees, and I think like George Lombard's a legitimate pick, I think Carlos LaGron Hazel, a legitimate pick.

[SPEAKER_03]: And they even have some interesting pictures I thought about, like Ben has off of the top 100 as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I think those are some guys that kind of,

[SPEAKER_03]: that kind of stick out to me off the top of my head, especially on the top 100 side.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's a tireless circuit on the ground.

[SPEAKER_01]: AJ Uing and Jacob Rimer, both of the maps, you know, kind of thinking that through, I really wanted to take Merrick Houston of the twins, but I kind of have been filled with my, I like him, I don't like him, but Leo de Vries.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'll put it that way, although it would allow me to take it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know you talked about taking Blake Burke at first base.

[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of surprised that Joe Mac didn't go, but again, we each can only, you know, you're kind of, you took Ronnie or Rodriguez, which I would have taken over Mac as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted Mac, but I also wanted Kevin to Frank, and I also did want him at, I didn't want to take another top hundred guy there.

[SPEAKER_01]: It is amazing that only one Dodgers outfiller went, but really what that came down to, I looked at Charles Davelin,

[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want, you know, I didn't want to spend my top 100 picks there.
