3/20, Part 1: Draft Recap, New Strategy, Buehler Update, Gregg’s Terps, and more...

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy best Friends Forever, m Do Did to tod to Do do too. Yeah, this is the Fantasy Best Friends Forever here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside Reggie standf Well, I am Greg. Hey, what's going on? Man? What's happening here? Hump Day? Wednesday March? Have any opening day? Greg in Tokyo? Have any opening day to use? Well? There you go. Greg got the micne Yeah, shut it off because I was moving around.

They didn't want to you know. How are you doing, man? How's everything going? It's not going great? Man. I'm gonna set the tone for the show. Reggy's very grouchy. Reggy's grouchy. Everyone's talking crap about his Maryland Terrapins. Everyone has Belmont upsetting the Terps in the first round, including me in my bracket. But I'm just going based on what Greg tells me. Gregg tell me Maryland sucks, so I take

them to lose in the first round. And not only that, because I'm sitting there and I'm excited for Maryland to play. When I put it up on the screen downstairs, I'm probably gonna miss some programming because of that. And Frank's go on, I'm like, are you kidding me? Well, I want to do what would I would I do that? Do I do that? Like when I walk in and like that jet shuck? Yeah? Well you can. I mean everyone else does it. Fine, I'm used to it. Sorry, Greg,

how's it going? But if you drafts last night? I feel like that might be contributing to Greg's gratchiness as well. Yeah. Yeah, everything's contributing to my grashiness. The only one thing that's currently going well in my life, I'd say that's fantasy basketball. The more listening, it's fine, that's not Judy's fantasy basketball. Yeah, I mean, like in the ass moments, really wedding stuff, stupid stuff, not even wedding stuff, stupid stuff, and not

even her fault. I don't blame her. I'm I'm not mad at her, and anyway, it's other people in regards the other things I'm not looking for. There's nothing with the wedding, okay, not at all. It's all it, greggy. I mean, we had a lot going on last night. So then last night, as everybody knows, I have to drave tow drafts last night. So my setup was was beautiful. I got there. I was the first person to the

rum where you're drafting. What my buddy and I was the program, sat down in my seat right I had my computer right here, my iPad right here, right iPad in the CBS draft. Ready to ready to rock, Ready to get excited, let's go, ready to go, ready to rock. I got my laptop here as I am commissioner, as you know, for our draft only draft going on at people trading picks and stuff. You gotta got as everybody. As everybody knows, they's well started today. We'll get into

that in a bit. So I not only have to keep track of the draft board in this league. Let's look with this sleep for a second. Keep track of the draft board, of course, cross out my players, like as they go, you track of who I'm taking, like making sure like I'm filling out my roster and looking good and get the categories. I have to enter the teams into Yahoo at the same time to make sure everything gets locked and loaded to be ready for people

to play this morning. The stats count. You're a busy guy. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to follow another draft right here while keeping time per pick in my draft. You're man, and it's just so overwhelming. And then unfortunately during the draft there's some fortune news of some staffing here that I had to take care of, Like work wise, I always on work. I know about this, I don't know, probably not tell me during the break. It's just like a family situation that they popped up into nowhere, and I

had to handle that. And I'm just like I keep saying, I just like, I'm just my head is just like That's why we tried not to stress you out. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no, don't turn this around. You're sitting there. We tried to help you out. We didn't want to throw too much of the biggest bunch of trash I've ever ever really thinking about You're sitting here with the iPad first pick. Are we sure we want to get the draft? Hosi Ramirez. I respond immediately like definitely, yep.

Second round comes Frank lines with the players for me. We also offered to do a three way FaceTime, but you didn't want to. I was in the middle of the draft, okay, I mean, look, that would have changed things though no one en I could not talk to you. It was not capable of adding another thing in my place. That's our fault. So immediately Frank then texts out like who's coming up for the second round, which I appreciated

to hear. The guys there, what should we do? And I'm following out keeping track, and I'm like, wow, stand's gonna be there. We should draft Stanton. What does Frank do Jeff Stanton? Oh this is great, this is perfect. Its going exactly what how I wanted to how I wanted to go. Very very happy following. I feel like I'm real part of the team. I'm helping out. Third pick comes along, third pick comes along, let's see here. I don't want to screw I don't want to screw

this up. All right, all right, Stanton. I want Stanton, please take him where up? It's Stanton. We got Stanton. Frank, now what so I say? So he goes. Here's the text mesage conversation in order we got Stanton. My immediate response that we got Stanton is all right, now what engaged? I want to know what's happened? Next thing? I know? No response from no response from Florio. My next text message says, Marte, huh, no picture. It wasn't like, hey, what should we do. It wasn't like all right, here

the pictures left you. It wasn't like here the outfielders left. Here are the players left? It was just no response. And my next text messages Marte, huh. And I will now defend myself in Florio and I remember what we were starting picture. We knew we wanted a picture in the first three rounds. Great, correct, that was the plan what everyone went between our Stanton pick and our third round pick. So we're the guys that went for pick four.

It was it was Freeman, Blackman, Bowers, carrasco synder Guard. We really wanted one of Obviously they all go at this point off the table, the starting pictures are gone, right and we're kind of caught off We're caught off guard a little bit. I wouldn't completely honest. So when I went, obviously they're starting pictures that are available. Yeah, who was one of the starters that were available this time? James Paxson was my top ranked starting picture. Okay, so Paxton,

I mean Shotsburg was available. You don't like, this is pick thirty four in the draft, so it's early third round right now. We opted to zig when everyone else was nagging. So now we it wasn't like it wasn't to the draft board. We took the value, but it wasn't like it was the best. I wasn't even told about this potential value like here well, because we thought we were going to get a picture, so I didn't like.

We only had a minute twenty seconds left, so I didn't really have a lot of time to text you because I'm talking to Florio or FaceTime. And it wasn't it wasn't even like what would you have us What would you have had us do? I didn't even know who's there? What would you have wanted? Then? Based on I'll read you the players who were there and I love you, would you do that? We have Jose Ramirez on our team, we have Joan, Carl Stan fantastic start love it. I don't regret one, oh no, one bit

at all. Absolutely not. That was part of we said that they dropped to take second round. No issue. I said, you asked me what I wanted. I said, Stanton, because I mean you might have buyer's remorse afterwards and say, well, you know, we could have taken a starting picture there, and we don't get. I don't, I don't, I don't eat. I don't either. So the top available players Greg are Starling, Marte, wit Merrifield wants Soto, Anthony Rizzo, Chris Bryant, Adalbertomond to see,

Odie Blonser, Anthony Rendon, Andrew Benn and Andy. And then it's Acton Strasburg, who Avenger, Flawerty Wheeler, that whole group. So for me personally, I would have either taken not the huge Marte guy. You know that out of the names you mentioned, Chris br Cody Bellinger both come to minds two the hitters that I may have preferred. And that's obviously we had Stan and don't big. You know,

I'm not a Bryant guy. Fine, and this is something and I completely recognize in a minute twenty seconds is very hard and I'm not there bas I mean to talk this part out with you, and I recognize that. But if you're telling I would have what I would have liked. It was like a text message like, hey, here's the guy that's on the board staring. Morte is like our guy. That's fine. If I had had more time, I would have starring Marte is the guy we got.

The whole crew didn't even because look, we took one minute seventeen seconds left. It's one minutelock, so it was down to the wire. So who so who are you designing between? We were we were honestly we were gonna grab more slone basis here. So it was between Rte, Maryfield and Mondesty. Those were the three that we were debating Greg. After that we didn't have to worry about stolen base for a long time. To Marte, Jose Murra, so you would have been off of Briant, you would

have off Bellinger. I would have it was me, which is what you asked. I would have pushed to bring up one of the pictures and I'll tell you why there's none of them. Coming back. A single woman was gonna get back to us degree, not Stoshburg, not Cleft because to me, yes they did, because because Wheeler and ty One are in the same tier. But none of those four came back. They did. Oh Wheeler and we're

both there in the fourth round. What about the other four I just mentioned, No, no Flaherty, But but how about this. For the rest of the third round, nobody else took the picture. So at that point, at the end of the third round, I'm I'm feeling pretty good. I'm saying, all right, well, you know, some pictures are gonna make it back. Levinger goes in the fourth, Flaherty goes in the fourth accident, Granky Strassburg. They all go

right ahead of us, miss missed the second run. But no, no, but why do we pull a starting picture of that caliber up the board into round early round three, when in my opinion, Heeler and Tyne are similar talented pictures in the same tier, and we had the option to grab either one of them. I thought that I thought we had spoken that the clev Flaherty Paxton tier was above his other tier. No, it's all one tier for me. I thought the top twelve, with which cuts off with

Walker Bueller, who we will get into later on. He made his debut last night. And then my Tier three three, Greg, this is my Tier three Axton, Clevinger, Flaherty, Tyrone, Wheeler. Gotta move Wheeler up obviously, let me crafting him everywhere. But Wheeler, Tyne, Corbin and Strasburg me that's Tier three. P's your through nineteen. We got a guy towards the end of Tier three, but they're all in the same tier. I don't I really don't think that they're that far off, Greig.

I don't think the difference between Paxton and Wheeler or Tyne is worth pulling Paxton all the way up the board into early round three right now, and we'll see how the pitching actually turns out. But I don't regret that we took Stoley Marte in the beginning of the third round because I think it gave us a base. We have Joseier, Miraz, Marte and Stanton. We have the power, we have r BIS, we have run scored like Rosier Miras five category contributor. Stanton really home runs r BIS

and runs and it's stay. Marte gives you batting average he'll give you stolen bases, so he kind of counteracted what you needed from John Carl Stanton. So I don't regret what we what we did at that point. Through the first round mounds, it's going through my head like, oh my god, our pitching is gonna be terrible. But as we will get to Greg, I don't think get turned out so bad. I think it's terrible based on where we were at in the draft, and I think

we execute that. I don't like any of these players from Zacch Wheeler, not as a number one starter, I don't know. I mean ideally I don't either, but it was one. I mean I got him as I got him as a two over the weekend too there too, did ye? I want him to me? Why can't Zach Wheeler based on what he did in the second half, He's not gonna do that. He's not gonna have a sub two e ar a. But I've been thinking about this a lot recently. Why can't Zach Wheeler be this

year's Aaron Nola? Why can't he health number one? It's I'm not disputing anything anything about I love Zach Wheeler. Also the only reason why you don't like him as your one is because you haven't seen him do it for a full season. Correctly, we're all projecting him to take that next step, and didn't you want some sort of safety with that? But to me, it wasn't worth pulling Paxton all the way up the board into the early third round if you could get someone of similar caliber,

you know, nearly thirty picks later. M I don't think the difference between all right, you know, if we would have taken backst in and round three and then whoever outfielder would have been in on four, who's who's there there was? Let's see the next outfielder taken was the outfielder is the hitters you were? You weren't just leaking after it was? Karea went right after a Wheeler, Iron Bray, You Robinson, cano In, Daniel Murphy, Sagura like naming players

like I like, I like all these guys. Jean Siagura is actually a perfect replacement theoretically, mate, Like Jean Siagura is a poor man Stoley Marte basic. Right, so you've been training absolutely, so you're training out. I don't think the difference between Paxson and Wheelers worth that difference between Marte and Sigura anyway, plus you get the second outfielder, greg In Marte and was there too. I mean absolutely yeah. Look, I mean, you tell me, how is your guy? I

like Tommy fam two. But then we come around in the early fifth round and we get Burrios too, and he's another guy who can take that next step this year. You know, you don't, You don't even really like I do like Burials and I've always liked Burrios. It's just the way that my teams have been instructed. I didn't really have an opportunity to grab him. Ideally, I would want him as an SP three. A lot of people are ending up with it as as their two. We end up with him as our two because we really

needed pitching at that point. And it just so happens in a lot of my drafts. I already have two starting pitchers by round by the end of round four, or I'm just gonna take Wheeler in round five. So I don't. I just don't. Based on the way I construct my teams, I just haven't had really an opportunity

to grab Jose Burrios. But if it didn't, here because we needed a starting pitcher, he's our SP two and I think he's another one of these pictures as the upside to take that next step, Greig, what do you like about Barrious? Well, he's gonna he's been a durable I mean, based on what he did last year, he took that next step in terms of being an ace picture. In terms of workload, he took that next step. I

think he's gonna give us two hunder strikeouts. I think the whip is gonna be you know, sub one point two. I think the ear a is going to be better than where it's been. He's had, he's had major home road splits. Would he had a three eight e r A last year? You're you're telling me that he hasn't had the talent to be a three five ear a pick. I know he has a talent, but someone else hasn't put it together. And he's he's X fIF the second

half last year, third picture X fit. I mean this is his third his third year, third or fourth his X five in the second half over four over four last year. You know he's a whip in the second half at one point four last year. He pointed that, Yeah, absolutely, he pointed. Zach Wheeler's second half though, one point one four whip. The one point four whip in the second half, yeah, but overall for the season one point. But do you take Zach Wheeler's entire season two? Yeah, even pointed out

those last ten. I'm yeah, but I'm realistic. What I'm telling you, He's not gonna be a substitute r A pitch. You're telling me he'd be Aaron Nola, Yeah, which is a three z rch And I think Burials could be could jump down into the three. At one point one four whip for the season, that's better than the three point eight r A pitcher break we'll find out taking a break with backs Daily Roado dot Com Learn from the game's best DFS players.

Eli Manning was in the bottom third of the NFL, even when he was not crushured inefficiency rating,

couldn't throw the ball down the field anymore. We could go on and on and on about Eli Manning, and I like Eli Manning, I truly do. But Eli Manning is no longer elite. I don't he ever was, to be truthful, but Eli Manning is just not that dude. Week days a PMS will Leven get him Eastern on the Fantasy Sports networking on your popular podcast Providers recaving

our GSD draft last night route to round six. And what just confuses me is the reason I'm so comfortable with Frank and Mike doing this without me because I talking Frank literally every day and like almost every day about draft stuff. Frank Moore, So obviously two hours with you guys, and then whenever we talk off the it's like I kind of have an idea of who he

likes when he likes in like that's cool. But then we get around six, like every you pick, especially the first four, I didn't know you like Josie Barrios, but like WHEE learned before that, I know you liked those guys, Like none of those is a surprised pulling and Floria loves Wheeler, so pulling out the board like that, none

of that's surprising in any way. Hosie Barrious thing, I didn't like it, stand by that, but five taken over Barrios, I would have in that situation, would have taken Barrios and next starting picture drafted with Michael and David Price. Later on, David Price actually is ex starting picture drafted and Harmon Marquees. Actually, all right, you want that one corps Field on this team? No, no, no, no, you know that, you know I don't want this. Would you

have taken over Barrios? This, This This is what het being locked into a picture here ultimately, David Price, he being locked into the picture. Burrios was the last. Yeah, I mean, I'm not disagreeing that Barrios the best picture on the board. I'm not disagreeing with that. I was surprised he was there. I thought was gonna take it too. And if you would have we probably would have taken Daniel Murphy. To be honest, I love it. We would have taken whoever

Rohns didn't, you know? Yeah, that's those are the two guys we were looking at. Anyway, inside the mind of a drafter anyway. And just the record, Frank practice that line during the break. Round six, This one makes zero sense to me. We have christ is not on our team. Part of the show now, Chris Vature is not on our team. All right, but but there's the three of us. Because wants to pay an entry fade, he can, he can pay an entry fade. Round So round six we

have stated here so many times yesterday. In fact, your second base targets we gave you this whole tears out man second bases deep und you know Win a ready Scooter Jeannette Win already And yet one of the guys that we absolutely loved it doesn't go with other five rounds, right you did in the sixth round ten goes Odor your second base of knowing he's going to be there

in round tenn because second base is so deep. Frank has pointed to a Frank has pointed to Azzi Albi's second half many times on this show, particularly went talking to Chris Ventra and them love them. That's cool. I yet it's what adventures guys no issue. But to see that Frank and Mike then take Ozzy Albis in the sixth round, there's no sense to me, especially when guys like Victor Roeblaster on the board, who I like, who we like? Who we've taken Shane Bieber when we desperately

need pitching. Mitch Hanneger round though Bieber Gregg who went four round four picks later for the record, Mitch Hanneger highest I've seen him go in any draft. Mitch Hanneger when there's we can certainly use some power in a third outfielder. We were debating Albis and Haneger. Why take Azzie Albies after being at him, especially in this spot so long. You like the value, like the value on Albis,

but you don't like the player who cares. I've never I've never said that I'm completely out on Ausi Albeast don't very much. Hard to figure out this. I've had one in best balls, so this would be the second. But do you just ignore what he did in the first half? To Greg remember we were talking to Brad Ziegler on Friday. He made great points that do you just ignore what a player did in the first half too? And look, pictures made adjustments him in the second half.

He needs to make adjustments back. Now, let's see what he did, what he learned in the off season. He's in a great lineup with the Atlanta Brave. He's probably gonna hit fifth or sixth in that lineup, right. I think he is upside to seal more basis than he did last year too. He had higher upside in terms

of stealing bases in the miners. He's still more in the minors, so I think that more so in basically, come this year you could be player and in the Braves lineup, the county stats are gonna be really good. It was we felt like it was good value. We were debating, but like twenty at the end of the sixth round, you told me that you felt like you had speed. You had the speed kind of together when I asked you, why don't you take Victor road Blast? I got that. We went on. We really like, well,

Alby is a little bit more trustworthy than road Blast. Sure, then in the major's first season, that's that's reasonable, but like second basement again deposition. You know, you're very big affiliate outfielders. So we're debating Handagar too, like Hannagar, no issue that the Albis. What are we doing here? Six plain? Yeah, I disagree. I mean, do you just not like Azzi

Albi's at all? You're just out on him just the position if he felt like if he's there little he's there a little bit later on, maybe I just you just kind of seem right now slaves a DP to me, Oh, there's value here, I gotta take them. There's value here, I gotta take them with just Albi's anyone else that I've talked about I didn't. I didn't mention trade. Did you said, you said there's no picture on the board

to the highest value? Yeah, I said, I think to think the difference between Paxton in the third and one of someone because you didn't want to pull you wouldn't want to pull Paxson up. Yeah, but it's not being

enslave to a DP. If I think that those pictures are comparable and they're in the in the same tier, and I think that I could get one of them at the end of round four, to me, Paxton is a round four picture, So I understand what you're saying about A But if I know that I can get someone at the end of that tier, who's gonna be

similar production in round four? And why wouldn't I wait until the end of round four and get one of those pres Because given that we given that we started, and were we get either the pictures, any of the pictures that's here that we wanted right that Synigard to the end up picked before us, there's being at any of them. My thought process at that point would have been, when you have two of the next tier, so I can make sure And Josie Bury is I believe it's

not in that tier for you. He's just outside of it, right, So I would That's what I would have done. Personally. I wasn't in the draft and it's my fault. They can't. I can't really bitch and more when I wasn't there an The Ozzie Albies pick is one that I have not made in a lot of direct It is not very typical. Frankly, it is not anyone. I'm not just gonna throw Floria under the bus because I need to take the pick too. You can, but Floria liked Ozzie Albies.

It's the text message Assie Albies. I don't know. Look, Florio asked him why he wanted. I don't disagree with the value there too. I think at the end of the sixth round it is a good value. You do a little bit of everything across the board. Frinkly, in player with good County stats in the middle of the Braves lineup, I never said that I was out on Albis. He's a hard player to figure out because he had an awesome first half last year and the second half

was abysmal. There's no doubt about that then. So Frankie text Meggy, are you cool with that? I said, quote the drest Barrios, and then they asked me about lat and essentially skipped the Assie Albies pick on that very clear. We're thinking about Vlad Olsen maybe a close Oh I'm sorry, I don't don't referencing Ozzie Albert's there's too late six Lad Alb's Olsen hanneger? What say you? I say, Vlad, we forgot we had we had was there? Mirors is

only in the third base. He doesn't have a second basic We took out we we we took Albis in the Chapman Oh, right, but the role is Chapman in the early seventh round. Greg, Now I'm problem at all, And we were kind of towards the beginning of that closer run. So you saw so right before, so right before, right before Chapman goes in the seventh, right before Chapman goes in the seventh, Kenley Jansen goes, Brad Hand goes, and Frankin and Mike smartly and rightfully saw the closed role. Cabing,

I got one. I've got one of the big ones on there. I thought it was a great move. Not that single issue is a good pick, and I like Chapman over bros. You know, very happy with that. It's a good job. We were debating Chapman versus I think

Vlad would still kind of in the discussion there. Matt Olsen was in the discussion as well, who you know, I like at the first based position, but ultimately it took Chapman, and I thought it was a smart move because in round seven, let's see one, six, seven, eight, nine, nine closers at a fifteen in round seven, So if we don't take Chapman in at that point, then we're looking at I don't even know a Rod's Viscayna was like the next closure that would have been our option

around eight, So we were ahead of the curve there. So fantastic pick. Not a single point of contention from my side. All right, it gets a round eight. At round eight, I know we we were talking the chat the archer Kershaw still there in round eight. This was this round Kershaw to knockas their archers there free guys that we Kershaw. You didn't like it, and round eight you talk about value that round eight that's actually what

we were gonna do. We're gonna take Kershaw because I don't like Kershaw at his a DP from over the weekend in the NFBC Main Events, and I wrote about this on my Patreon. Seventy four was his a DP. But when you talk about where we were at in this draft, in the eighth round, we're right around pick one fift at that point, I think, yeah, So at that point, like, if if you're around a hundred or later for Kershaw, you get your SP three, I'm totally

fine with that. And that's we got sniped on a couple of picks right before there because we were looking at Kershaw, we were talking about Tanaka, um and you know, with three picks to go, it went Kershaw, Sevorno, Tanaka right ahead of us. And we're just sitting there like this was the worst thing that could happen because we

were targeting starting pitchers. You're taking Sevorino as well. You didn't mention you don't think I think he should go later on, just because you know he could have missed one. Kershaw and Tanaka were very much definitely and Archer went

in this round too, so so to Medelson. So we're up and we're kind of like, yeah, alright, I wanted starting picture this is one of the confusing ones from you want to starting, you want a starting picture, And the next ones that ultimately go are Kyle Hendricks, who would never have drafted, I hope and what are you guys which have been crazy if we took on this team, And then it's a starting picture, run Hendricks and wherever you guys, Luis Castio, Robbie right, Nick Pavetta, Um, they

all go here because we have burials and we were at this point and Mike and I are talking and we're basically saying to each other, we just have to grab as many upside guys as we possibly. Yeah, we have to grab that, you know, the the group that we talked about, the Rodriguez, A lot of those upside guys. Just try and grab as many of them as possible.

So to me personally, in this spot, I'll tell you what I would have done into Ferently, in this spot, we took Hayesler for those wondering what I was gonna reveal that yet. But I wouldn't have taken a picture

because they are all very similar like that. I would have waited to the next pig eight picks later, because they are all very similar and I don't like feel this huge tug toward and Roda Rodriguez, for instance, I think it was probably my next picture on the board, Like, I don't feel that huge tig I didn't do in my other draft last night will get to an hour two, um, so I would have I would I agree with what you guys did in taking a hitter. That being said,

I don't agree that Hagler was the best hitter. Was there anybody else that you guys were considering at that spot? Not really, because for us, he was the last of that tier of first baseman that's starting worthy tier. You know, at this point, Mike's bringing up the fact that he likes Max Monse and tell you I'm not a maximum and for O b PT and points league sure, but for batting average Rhado, it's just he's kind of black to me. So at this point it's Hayes's Agilar and

then it's that group of Gallo and Carnacion MNC. Wait, so to me, I have Agila ranked in my tier two. I haven't actually ranked ahead of Matt Carpenter. So we were looking at it saying, all right, he's that last you know here too, first basement. We want some exposure to the Brewer's lineup, go ahead and grab him. And if you look at the hitters that were taken after him, Greg,

there's none of them. Where I was kicking myself like we should have Shaw Chapman went afterwards, Tim Anderson, what is suppose should I tend to should I tend to agree with you? Terrists Buxton, Mustakis Like, maybe Mustocks, but again we already had Jose Ramirez, So yeah, so Mustakis and Shop but probably the two that stood out to me a Brewer, right, Um, So I wish there was like a guy that win in the next could picks here and that I was like, I wish you Why

don't you hear that guy? It's not that we could have double balance starting pitcher. Yeah, maybe we go likeez, but I think if we needed that, Ronus probably would have taken kissing, which would have worked out well for you, because I know you hate Kist. I do hate, although I will say this, I'm not upsets to have like one sheriff him. There you go, Greg, Greg coming around on the team in this situation. On this team, it

makes sense. On this team, it makes sense to Louise cast because we have Jose Berrios kind would like Jy have on this team too, that Greg our team is going to lead the league and home runs aloud and Louise kill yeah, yeah, yeah, if that were a I mean, yeah, we're number one in that key. But these guys have upside and that's what we needed at this point, how

to take some upside shots. So Luise Castillo in the ninth round No Modica, round ten, I wasn't really mad because they were telling Mert players they were targeting, and they were doing a better job than I actually remembered. You know what, I'll tell you. Here's who we were debating in round nine instead of cast you. He told me this, Justin and a Cutchen. They all survived to all of them would have been our outfielder three. So all of them survives around ten, every one of them.

And then they all go back to back to back to back, and as I saw one of them go, I said, we're not getting anything. And you know I love McCutcheon. I don't have any shares of Eloy yet, so that would have been fun. Justin Upton, I know you're not a Justin Upton guy at all, Greg, but I would have been so mad. He's a lock for two fifty and thirty home runs. If you would have put you would have put justin, you would have put justined up in Louis Casti on the same team. It's

just like, am I even part of this team? I would have just sold it to Venture at that point. But in round nine, we thought that Upton, Eloy and McCutcheon were ranked so closely that you didn't necessarily want to make a decision. We were. We were hoping that one of those guys would come back and the decision would be made for us, and it was I don't hate you get none. I don't hate taking Louise Castio where we did, though we needed the SPS. As I said to you, I don't have a problem with it.

So round ten comes like this is kind of a weird one too, Like I say, Ronette Odor still not off the board went always four hounds again just noting that, but there's no way of knowing that. I'm just stating a fact, thank you. So clearly, the my team's opinion in this was that we need that's really need a third outfielder three based on who's left on the board. I would have liked to take the best player on the board, which I don't really know that ever went

after this pick young Amazario. We have a short start. I might have taken Paul the young, Wenna taken Bauld the young I can't knock. I can knock that, But then our third outfielder wouldn't have been great. So but here's the thing, So you take Piscotti at the end of the at the end of the tenth, the next outfield there's no outfielders drafted in around eleven. But what so what we were looking for and I'll just kind of explained the logic. Here is the next outfielder off

the board. The next two outfielders off the boards for the record, our three next Kyli Shober, Aaron Hicks, and there in CRT Billy Hamilton's Y Dickerson, Domingo Santanta. And we considered Aaron Hicks as well, but I don't want to have injury optimism. You know, he's already gonna start the year on the I l with the three outfielders that we were looking at, and Upton, Eloy Jimenez and Andrew McCutcheon. What we were trying to get was a batting average that would not kill us to thirty home runs,

solid county stats. We knew we didn't really need speed because we already have the solid base there. Greg And to me, we asked you no Piscotti or NCRT, and you wanted n cr And right after I took Scott, I was like, man, maybe we should have taken n c RT. But seeing the way that the rest of the team turned out, I don't regret taking to Scotty because I think he gives what was similar those other outfielers do sixty s batting average, five home runs, good

counting stats. In the Oakland A's lineup, he's gonna hit in the middle. Hey, Gy, we already got a home run from him. It was the first sex Pasiness I said today Piscotty. I like Scotty. I think he's a little undervalues. I think Piscotty's almost like in this drafts it's almost like a poor man's mit chatting. You're in a way, it was like a break we go over the draft of the back.

Fantasy Sports Radio Networks Frank's Dancing For those listening on the podcast the Radio, it's like that awesome. Um, it's my favorite nineties song, and when it comes up with my nineties place, when it comes back on my nineties playlist, usually more often than not, I skip it, Okay. I mean it's not a song you can listen to all the time. It's gotta catch you at the right time. It's just

caught me at the right I agree with that. Yeah, I got you at the right time. Let's go back to the draft, back to the draft room. Even put Scotty roundta have a heache again. I just live in a print headache. This week, I noticed it's awful. Which combination do you like more? Since we were kid sitting Handegar into six and now that we know that we could have got Odor in a tenth Odor in Handeger first, Albi's and Scotty tag team match, who you got? I

think it's close. I don't think it's far. I don't say Scotty's not that far off from Handegar. I don't think it's far. Will give you ten to twelve steels Scotty knowledge two. Yes, I mean that's that's the difference, eight to ten stone basis, that's a difference. That's why hands. But Piscotti made serious games in the second half. Lest here.

I mean, let's not forget what he was dealing with his mother, obviously with his mother, and then you know the way that all of that went down, um, and then look his second half, he was a different player, man. I mean forcent hard hit rate in the second half, the home run, the fly ball ratio massive in the second half as well, because obviously hitting the ball hard, he doesn't make a ton of contact in the air. Um, second half, you know, thirty four point four percent, it's solid.

But he hits a lot of line drives too, So you have fifteen home runs in the second half alone. Playing in Oakland, I think again, I think he could be a two seventy hitter, home runs five RBIs he's going to hit third in Oakland's lineup. We saw it today in the game in Tokyo. He was hitting behind Match Chapman, he was hitting ahead of Chris Davis. I

think it's a little wonder value. He's just people might find him boring because he's gonna give you any stone basis which is which is usually you were even had the base though pready had the basse Greig, we had Albi's, we had Marte, we had Jose Ramirez, we had a lot of stone basis of them. Around eleven, you guys take Joe must Grove, which I think makes sense here he's probably bestowing picture on the board. Yeah, Joe Musgrove,

Greg taking away Greg in around twelve, you're gonna take it. Nope. Round twelve, you you draft who's a Katana? Want pick before Domingo Santana? Um, welcome. We just wanted to We wanted more pitching, and we we told ourselves so Kantana was our top starting picture on the board, and we said we'll take whoever comes back between Santana and Meadows. I figured Roonas was gonna take Domingo Santana because he's been drafting him everywhere in draft that I've been in

with RNAs, he's taken Domingo Santana every time. So we told ourselves, like, we'll take Antana, We'll take In round thirteen, we need a fourth altfiller, whoever comes back. Between Domingo Santana and at both of those guys would have went. I don't know what we would have. It's interesting because the guys that went here, I thought, are all kind of you. Guys in Domingo Santana, Ordo, Mariano, Jordan Hicks, Harrison bad Loriano now struck out three times this morning.

I hope you are. I am kidding. I can't wait to one with Flora's Homers an opening day. I want you to kiss my damn feet. That will not happen. Greg, you buy lunch? No, you still you're trying to get me to buy you lunch. You still owe me lunch? What am I getting my lunch? Get lunch? Lunch? Man? My word, I didn't even win a lunch. I just told you i'd buy you lunch. Is a thank you. You didn't win anything. I just wanted to thank you.

It was it was a month ago. Can we celebrate if it was a wins my bracket, No, Greg, my bracket comes over your you know affiliations. You're gonna lose your lunch. You're gonna lose your lunch. You can't revoke it's my lunch. I can do whatever I want. You on me a lunch, whether you love me or hate me. I think they we're gonna buy pizza on Friday. Oh gosh, what you eat pizza on Friday? Eat pizza? What you pizza? I can? What's wrong with that? I'm tired of pizza.

I eat it every Friday now. It's like the only thing I can. I want to tell you, man, well, like I said to you previously, I can buy pizzas for Friday. And I want to do something for the tournament, like a little moreral boost, like we're all watching the tournament or pizza next Thursday and opening Day, but the tournaments like we're I don't know if we're fun. Opening days were fun for you, Opening Day more fun for me? Do you you do it next Thursday? And then take

a poll? No, I mean Friday. Everyone wants Friday where they go out for the weekend. I think I think Friday was a nice thing to do for It's for the staff, all right. So for those that are listening, those that are downstairs, those are downstairs. I'm buying pizza next Friday, to be delivered Friday. This Friday. Sorry, next this Friday. At two o'clock March Madnesses. Don't bring lunch, Alex, you will be in charge of ordering said pizza and

picking it out. No, we getta delivered. We gotta delivered. You're gonna charge of oria. I will give you my credit card before I go on the air. You can put it on my credit card. Ten large pizza and large pizzas extra garlic knots. Make sure you get like three six packs of beer orders called garld knots. Maybe a pasta platter taking off Fredo vodka. That's why it's the pizzas easier. All right, we'll go to Garland Knots. Would've never said Greg, do you like Greg gloves fresh

monz arrolla. That's I would say that's your number one food. Yeah, Like I've never seen you eat a sandwich without fresh monzaralla. Oh it's not true. My like my sandwich bringing salad. You have like those little balls of fresh monzaralla in your salads? Well, will I create a salad myself? They do? Yes, Um, let me have my sandwiches at there's no fresh purson a ella on there really usually munster cheese, brolon cheese. I don't have fresh months, big fresh months, love fresh months.

Love it tonight making I'm probably make a big city I gotta make it again. Chicken parmesan with vodka sauces. Great, I do that, I do it all the time. Man. Then it spice of the vodka and spicial the vodka sas some spicy red pepper. Oh yeah, you put that on at the end, but then all of the sauce on after. I put hot red pepper flakes on every same everything, any pasta totally totally all right, she think Austin meadows around their team. Are you enjoying this anymore? R? Yeah,

well want do this? I want you to enjoy this. And the next time I got in my draft, all right, I'm leaving all right, I thought the player that I have on every team, Yes, I'm I'm buying it. I think again. Side here, I've seen Rosster. Resource has him as a platoon player. I don't know if they still do they did earlier on in draft season. This is the guy who actually held his own against lefties last year.

He has prospect pedigree. He was you know, him and Glass now were the big pieces that the Tampa Bay Ray's got back in the trade for Chris Archer last year. So I just think based on his pedigree what they gave up to get him, I don't think that they're going to platoon him for Gallermo, Heredia greg. I think he's gonna play every single day. He held his own against lefties last year, and he's an interesting power speed combination.

I think he can hit let's say, between sixteen and eighteen home runs and the same from stolen basis, and if he leads off the run production should be pretty good as well, with a not so bad batting veron let's say to seventy five. Okay, you know it makes a lot of contact. Like I said before, I would have preferred to make the Santana as you know he's Do you like Jose Kantana? I do You've sold me on him? I know he's one of your guys. He

sold me on him. To me, he's the perfect compliment to some of these upside pitchers Joe musgro If you don't know how many Anies you're gonna get, Valdi, you don't know how many Anies you're gonna get, maybe one four? He won fifty to meet Katana before last year. He was a guy that we depended on for two endings

right around two under endings every single season. And he was just one of those guys where he was a good compliment to players like this who will give you the stuff on a per start, per enning basis, Guys like must Grove and Nevaldi and Edward of Rodriguez. But he was a good compliment because, all right, maybe he didn't give you a strikeout perraining, but he would give you a solid strike out rate. He wouldn't give you a whip that would kill you. He was a you know,

three six, three seven e r a guy. It all kind of imploded last year for Katana, his first full season with the Cubs. But I I read something from the Athletic actually that said he changed where he was standing on the rubber, Greg, and over his final twelve starts he had a three point six strikeout rate and basically looked like the Jose Kontana that were used to I'm hoping he builds off of, you know, that adjustment he made towards the end of the season last year.

He was going this year. Remember last year he was being drafted as the top twenty starting pitcher. Greg. Now you're getting him. You know, I like it absolutely your thirty five and forty. You can ask you. By the way, I had a great tweet last night that you know the Cubs pictures one through five, all their starters. You can you can make an argument that any one of the five can slot in in any number spot. Lester's storting opening day, but is like he really number one?

Or is Hamils or Cantana or somebody else or you're you Darvish right, like they're all there's no ace on that team. But there's also no picture that it's like a normal SP four or SP five on another. So so, by the way, I got I want to tell you this the next hour. Actually i'll say it for next time. Let's say it for next now. It's funny, okay, uh continue all around fourteen here, Oh you gotta love this one. Goat.

So you guys go up and you drive Chris Paddock, and first share of Paddock you mine too, So you got and drift. Chris Pack was lazarre gone yet he was. He actually went in the thirteenth round and as soon as I saw him going, I said, oh, there's no way we're getting Paddy. It's funny normally, once you see one of them go the other one. It's funny because in my league, as soon as I saw I'm spoiler, A drafted Lazardo. So Paddock went in the middle of the the he went. He went in the fourteen round,

mid the fourteenth round. So I took him with the first pick off in the fourteenth round of team Yes keep Keeper league though so not not not di similar, not the similar. Um, So you go up and get Paddock, which I was excited about. It was one of the places I really like because it was fun. I had no shares of him at this point. Six all right, we got Kntano, Monscrow, Luis Castillo, Barrios, Wheeler, and then you get Paddick. It's actually quite surprised, is kind of

rounding out nice. I'm actually quite surprised the Paddock glass this long because um, you had uh Lazarogo right in the middle of the thirteenth round and round the half. Normally, once one of them goes, the other one goes and said, oh, there's no wayward getting and he did no surprise the way because I had the numbers right here. That was the quickest pick that Toff made five seconds, five seconds him to click. The next pick was even quicker. The

next pick was my man, Shane Green. Ye favorite. Four seconds, four second on Shane Green. Spoiler, spoiler on my other league. Everyone's like, oh my god, there's no closers, no closers round and pick Shane Green. Why do we always own Shane Green? I don't know. It sucks so bad I until he gets traded, if I get traded. Um round sixteen, you guys picked up he because your first catcher Beef Castile. Was there any point earlier in the draft you considered

picking a catcher that's trauma? But in round sixteen it's get a value for casting? Sure? Who are the what are the catchers? Young guns? Went right after that? Marvaas who I do like? Well, you know, I like Williams Studio. Actually I have had Castio ranks higher than when after him Robinson Sharenos went in the fourteen willing to get you in the sixteen. So here's the pick. I don't get. I don't think they're dissimilar. I don't Andy Simmons, where

we doing? So we needed a short stop. I'm looking down at the board here and this was this was a Greg special too, because it was between him and seven. I know you hated Simeon, so I was trying to help you out a little bit here, Greg and I thought we needed a little bit of a dash of batting average. I'm not saying that and is gonna hit three thirty, but he hit to ninety last year. See projection systems that have him for between two ninety and

three hundred. He's gonna give you, you know, twelve home runs, twelve stolen bases. He's just steady. Eddie looked obviously, I want a better short stop than andrews tim There's no doubt about it. In a fifteen team league, you're not gonna love every player that you have at every single So last year, Andrew Simmons's two uh. The year before that he had two seventy eight. Year before that he hit two eighty one, so he's been between two seventy

eight and two ninety two. We wanted someone who helps the batting average, and a lot of those middle infielers at that point they give you between twelve and fifteen home runs, twelve and fifteen stolen bases. So that's what we were looking at with Simmons. We wanted to grab a short stop. I figured you liked him more than I do like him more in Mark Simeon, but I don't know that. I just don't think I would have

seen either. I think I would have gotten the guy. Um. Again, admittedly, guys, I like, I want a guy like Jesse Winker stands out as some way that went in this round that I like. I was thinking about Winker two because again we needed the batting average right so, and he would have been our Outfieler five, which Winker has your outfield five. That's fine, absolutely no issue there, um, But I think we were looking at the short stops starting to dwindle.

We're all the same one hour. Yeah, But I just at that point if you were really mad at us because we had Luis a team like I can't. I can't end up with Simon on his team. Greg's I can see Frank Basse timing Mike. It's just being like already hates his team, which I was like, why do we have to do Simeons him too? I feel like that's how they got Pa and in round eighteen for Share as well said Fernando was great. Yea, I thought

that we were going to be light at shortstop. We didn't have a middle infielder at this point, so we knew that we were gonna be uh light at shortstop in middle endfield, so we wanted to take an upside shot here, take Fernando Tatis. Later on, we ended up grabbing someone who fill in at the middle infielder. I think we ended up with Adam Frasier we spoke about yesterday on the program. He's fine, going to lead off

of the for the Pittsburgh Pirates could give you. You know, a lot of these middle infielders are you know, home runs maybe ten stolen basis from Adam Fraser. He's gonna lead off. He makes a lot of contact, so he's gonna fill in until Fernando Tatis is up. And a lot of what I said about Tatis greg has been I think it's similar to Labor Tourists from last year. The Yankees were ready to compete. You didn't know when

Labor Touris is gonna be up. He was getting drafted in the middle rounds um we knew what the upside could be. I don't think it's that far off from Fernando Tatis. You know, I know Machado has come out and said that he wants Tatis to break camp. Now that's not gonna happen. But and I don't even know if we see him in April. But but it surprised you if we see him as early as May, it wouldn't surprised me because I think I think the Potteries want to make some noises here. Greg at think might

break camp with the team. So I understand they want control, but I think they also I think they want to make they want to make some noises here. And if you bring up Tatis and you have padded matt Strom, who everyone's hyping up, and you obviously you have Machado signing, and they still could trade for one of these Indians starting pitchers too, So it wouldn't surprise me if Tatis is up in May. Labor Torres was up much earlier than expected last year and he had an awesome season.

Now I could see something similar to that from Tatis jumping around it. Now, admittedly I'm not I am not an Alex Wood. It was weird. I didn't want anything to do it. Did you, guys um think you had good value of Zach Efflen? Know what? My A chance You're like all right, whatever. Honestly, we had like eight starting pitchers in the Kique at that point, I couldn't really differentiate any of them because I similar you took him instantly, and the only reason I had no I

do so I took so I took. I took Efflyn in my other draft last night, I took him like much earlier than this, despite it being not a fifteen team league. I took a much earlier, And like, I feel like I screwed up because you guys got him here in this league. Now, I don't. I don't think people are particular or really that excited. And based on what we said yesterday about e Flynn, he got the stuff you have you jump last year, so we'll see if if he can carry some of that over to

this season. And all right, we can say a break when we come back. I feel like you feel a little bit better, a little bit better headaches, subsiding. We break down my my other team now other draft. We'll do it next to venture m
