March 18th, Part 2: Auction drafts with The Closer

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let me just become best friends, Fantasy best friends forever. Our number two fantasy best friends forever. Here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Franks Snavill, Gregg saw Sman, now joined by the clothes Chris Vancher. What's going on, Chris? Wow? That Mike is incredibly off. Something's very wrong. It was very wrong, you know what. So I that's not that's not you. I fixed it this morning and then Carl tried to

refix it and he rebroke it, rebroke it. So do you be a favor Bovona? I want you to. I want you to adjust the gain in a massive way. He just turned it down. I guess because I had this fix perfectly this morning, and now it's all screwed up. Is your mic on? Under the thing under the table? Is your mic on? We'll turn it on a box. Oh there's a boxing. There was never a box here before. I turn down a little bit interesting. Yeah, that's why. And he said that he's not pretty good now, yeah,

much better. There you go. Let's let's go. Let's try this again. The clothes Chris Vescher, what's up? What's up? What's up? I'm gonna be very calm today. I'm just gonna tell you I'll be good for our ears. So I had my draft list, my home league draft. What would you go to? Like five in the morning is draft? No? It started at seven? How long did it go to? Like eleven? Alright? Alright, then why don't you go to sleep? After?

We were at someone's house. So we ended up hanging out just for a little bit, you know, before I knew it was I got home at one. God, then you can't sleep anyway? Yeah, and I probably sleep anyway. So when I got home, you know, Christina was that she was still up waiting for me. And then we talked to her and I was starving, so I ate, Oh my god, so by the time I went to sleep, it's not a good amount of sleep. You can't do that. You can't do that. I you did go to sleep

thinking about work. I had dream about work and did you Yeah? Man, I wait, I had dreams that FanDuel was terrible today and everything got screwed up and I had to re record and Frank was gonna kill me. Most of my dreams and Frank having to kill me, and we should fill people in because you kept saying leading up until third I was so petrified, so scared that you're gonna get mad at I was was so and you did ended up getting more mad at me. No,

I ben asked my witness. On Friday, you walked in still pissed at me from the night before, from when you yes, I have not given the no all night. I got mad towards the end because you took loom or Flora's and I wanted Romoe Loriana and we had extra money. I was telling me what ended up with Romano Loriana? Do you know I was was the last thing that I happened? Dude? I was telling you almost made it through the whole awesome without me getting mad

at you. And there was something now happened that you were more mad about than I was. I think it was the fact that you got into a bidding war over exactly. I was of myself mad at yourself. I was mad at myself. It worth that, worth that fine, how our tvm out? So I was mad at myself over that, more mad throughout the auction than I was. It was not really, there's something else. I was annoyed that you didn't like I asked you a question, you answer quick enough, and we lost out on a guy.

I think I don't know if it was Verland there for somebody else, but I was piste off that you didn't answer quick enough, because you're very analytical. You think and think, and I was like, I gotta go man time do you get time? Right? Guy gets a guy gets nominated. And you were around the room. We hear on the room, we gotta guest your mic again, christ and all over there. Um it's it's not it's not. It's like we gotta we gotta test that mic. Though. Well,

you sounds good. Now, how does this sound better? That'nds great? Good? Now, that sounds very good. I'll talk low anyway. That sounds good. That sounds good. I don't know. Maybe it's just a venture. Maybe I get too close to the mic Italian very animated, not not today loud speaking. Yeah, I don't know, obnoxious. I didn't say h's all right? You thought I didn't say that. Um So there's a she was bidding. So basically you're bidding, right, and you have a guy sitting

there that you're back and the forth. Well, all of a sudden, it's like, all right, yas so it's y'all weed going once, y'allself weed going twice, y'allself weeks sold. And it's just like that. And if no one's bidding when they say y'all see if we're going once, that's it. Man. You go to and then sell it. And I like Frank, I like the spot. I like the spot. I like the spot. And he just like look at his notes

and I understand that and he goes, that's it. Like most of the time I would look at you and tell you if I want you to get in a player. Correct, But there's a guy that I wanted, Like Frank, I like this. That's when you go into the notes and yeah, but it's gotta it's gotta fit the plan and most of the time he stuck this plan. We really did. That's good. I was talking to I was talking to somebody, I think it was an NFBC like listen to the show, and I was telling the story of Frank getting really

mad at me and at the end Wilver Flores. So he knows that I wanted because he listens to our show and he really wanted and he knows I wanted over Flores. Frank, I don't really mad at me, And he's like, what do you get mad at you for? Did you get over Flora's Yes, that's actually why he got mad at me. And I was telling about Roman lorianas I had ruin Loriana last year. I like him, like, is that what he's really getting mad at you? I

don't get why you got mad about that? Yeah, Loriano, I mean it's not like it's so we ended up a blue light on stolen basis in my opinion, just like self reflection of the team once it's all said and done. At that point, I wanted a guy that can maybe give us fifteen and twenty stolen basis, So Loriano kind of fit that bill for me and thing you should play every day yeah, Wilmar Flores. I mean, yeah, he might Bob Homers, but you're not gonna give any basis.

I felt like we were a little line of stone basis. So I wanted to Loriana, and I think that's where we needed to go. Why I got mad at Greg, even more so than the fact that we got Wilma Flores, was the fact that he didn't know how many players we had. He didn't know that Wilmar Flores filled out our lineup and then we couldn't get any more players. That's what I was more angry about than the fact that we actually got wilm Flora. Was not paying attention

so many we had. Yeah, So basically, so you have to think that warrants getting mad at You have to in this league. Um, you have to feel every spot. It can't be like you have an extra of a certain spot. So you have to fill every spot. And we had not written I don't think Franco was part of the plan that we planned out, like I know we won't you were interested in him, well, Mikel. Franco

wasn't part of our plan. But as the draft was going on, yonder Alonzo's our back a quarterinfield there and Justin spoke one for way too much money and we got Yonder Alonzo. So in my head, we still had the utility spot to Phil and I wanted to use that on Wilba Florence, which would have been fine. But what I forgot was that we had drafted Mykel Franco earlier. That's again, that's what me, Frank's writing writing down, because I was so focused on our plan that I forgot

about I forgot. I forgot. I forgot about Franco ultimately, and that was the one thing that we really deviated from. So then I went with Flores and I forgot about the spot. So that's where it was on me. That's not that bad. I mean, listen, I made a worst mistake last night. I thought that Garrett Hampson was eligible for short second and third. I was gonna make him my third basement, and then I had to go later in the drift and get at water Esa. You guys

like war is our short stop in league. That's a good short stop. I don't like him at third though. I don't know. I feel like that's that's my weakest point. I feel like I should I wanted to get somebody else. I didn't want to do that, so I made that mistake and it was too late. It was like the sixteenth round by the time I realized that, Oh wait, I don't have a third basement. No, I hope please good? You know I mean I. So we wanted to kind of break down. We talk a lot about the n FBC.

We wanted to break down some of the auctions. It's particularly the guys that you want to know about, like where they went and how much they went for I want to know about it in your draft. We'll talk about in our draft as well. So frank actually came up with an article. It's on his patreon right now. You can sign up ten bucks a months all cost you for his draft Frankie's and articles like this. Twenty five bucks will be your personal slave. You can text

him during your draft. And we're sitting there on the set true story. We're sitting there on the set on Friday, and he was getting text from guys who have subscribed for twenty five dollars to his patreon, and he's like, I gotta respond, like they need help. They want to know about certain players. And he had to respond right there and then, and I gave Frank a lot of credit. While we were broadcasting, he would shout off his mic for a couple of seconds to respond to his Patreon.

That's how dedicated he is to you guys. So please, if you are still looking your draft from and he want informatation all season long, spend the money on Frank Staffel's baseball Patreon. It is well worth it. Frankie our auction, I want to start with Clayton Kershaw because Kershaw, you got good news over the week that he was throwing again and he was on the mound again. He was gonna start throwing the batteries. We start getting in to rehab, start getting into rehab games like it was all. It

was all very positive information surrounding Louis Severn. Uh, Clayton Kershaw. Get severy no second Clayton Kershaw this weekend. So in our auction, do you remember how much he went for it? I don't have access to our league right now as I can't even check it, which is annoying. He was either fourteen or sixteen bucks. Yeah, I looked it up. How much? So in the NFPC Snakes, Kershaw went in

the fifth round and one of them. He went in the fifth round in Yours Frankie, the last pick of the fifth round, and he went in the fifth round of Glenn Loewy in the third in the fifth round, and all three of these fifteen team drafts, where did he go? In your keeper League draft? Pers venture, he went in the second round, middle center, second round keep it League draft. So that's like the fourth or maybe

fifth I'll tell you this. Forty four players were kept, but some of them aren't top players, like I kept probably about forty guys off the board, or thirty eight guys we've got off the board before the first round begins, really and then he ends up in the second round. So that's probably like a round pick sixty a normal draft something like that. So I looked at his uh

his ADP from from over the weekend. We have all this data from the main events, the NFBC main events, and the all the auctions that they had over the weekend, and his ADP was seventy four point one three from this weekend, with a mid pick of forty seven a max pick of ninety four. His average auction value was seventeen dollars. And the news is good you're right, Greg, he threw a bullpen. The next step for him is he's gonna face live batting practice. I don't think he's

gonna be in the rotation to start the year. Maybe he's middle to the end of April something like that. I still think there's a lot of risk of where he's going. Um, I'm gonna move him back up my rankings a little bit because I had him at thirty. So I I lowered him down the draft or down my rankings a lot because I just frankly didn't worry about him. I didn't want him, and there was a lot there's just like too much to worry about when it comes to Kershaw, with the back, the chronic back injuries.

The v LO was way down last year. It was the lowest of his career. His fastball velocity, his strikeout percentage was a lowers his rookie campaign. So the skills are declining. I just there's too many moving parts for Kershaw right now. I'm out even at this lower price.

And I said in my Patriar article, if you play in the home league and you can get him twenty to thirty picks later than this, a DP you can get him around pick one, d Greg, I'm more apt to buy it on that if I get him as like my FP three and I have two safe starting pitchers already on my team, you can afford to take that risk at that point, get him as your sp that's fine. Like maybe I jump in there around pick But still at s min pick forty seven, people are

still taking him inside the top fifty. At times I can't. I can't. There's still too much making the problem, to be honest, if people are taking him in the fifth round, that means most people are gonna have as r SP two. Yeah, I can't jump in there. Some people might have Yeah, I guess they'll have him as the SPO, but some people might take pictures earlier and have him as SP three. I like him as SP three. But the thing is you're gonna have to pay for him because there's still

people that value very highly. Like you're saying, people will reach on him or take him at his current value because it's because it's Clayton Kershaw exactly pictures. He was going just ahead of Greg Blayton Kershaw, then David Price, Miles Mikolas, Madison Bumgardner. Who's another one Luise can Stillo, Shane Bieber. Like to me, it's if you're asking me Kershaw in the fifth or Biber in the seventh or eighth, I'll go Bieber every time. Man, every time those guys

were going near Kershaw on your drift. No no, no, no no no, you're just the pictures that are going after him on the list. But like Bieber's adp was one fifteen and Kershaw was seventy four. Yeah, so you're getting them forty picks later. Absolutely take the same ings

on Biber every time. So the thing is I talked to Brian Ambo's about this over the weekend and he and he is adamant that he believes that that initial Kershaw back injury and he's had an ambos had a herniated disk, and he was for me, it's like one day you feel great, he taught your toes, you you you bend every which way, and another day your neck hurts, your shoulder hurts, your forearm hurts, your wrist hurts, you can't feel your fingers, and he goes a lot of hell.

He believes he's got a doctor. Obviously, he's just someone that's had a herniated disk. He believes a lot of that velocity loss. For a guy with Clayton Kershaw, it's just on days where he can't feel his fingers, he can't feel it or something, or it's tingling in his shoulder and he thinks this shoulder shortness that he's had

this spring is because of the back injury. And you thought the same thing, Frank, that kind of everything is related that maybe the back injury has made him to overcompensate with his with his with his I agree with you, with his left arm. And it's just like, why invest in something like Clayton Kershaw when you can forty picks later dre have the hitter there forty picks eotentially two three rounds later, get a guy with high upside. And

that's the problem. Clayton Kershaw is the upside. I understand it's being the best picture in baseball, but you're still paying for that kind of but right now, at that price, you're not getting a big enough discount for me. I agree, And I know you were when you were talking to me about Kershaw last week. You were telling me, you know, I think people are making a mistake. You know, in my home league, I might try and jump in on

kurse right now. But when you talk to people, yes, it kind of puts a little bit more in perspective. So you were last week, now you've changed. I really, I really have. I was reading all this good news. I thought you were getting the discount, and we sat at the NFBC and you so you see him going in the fifth round. And I talked to very very smart people about it, that are smarter than me and better than me at this game, and it's just not worth it to me. It's not just worth not just

not worth it. Not that I don't want to take shots, because I don't have problem taking the shots of the Syndergarten Paxton like that, that's okay. This is a real risk. This could be two months of absolutely no production, like give me the give me the taking a shot on a guy that, like Blake Snell that maybe he won't do it again, but at least play. He's gonna play, he's gonna apply. Let me get to another injured guy, and that's Louise several So Savarino on Lake Clayton Kershaw.

The news was pretty negative over the weekend, where Brian Cashman came out and said, realistically, We're looking at May for Luis sav Areno to be back, and I know that's kind of being twisted as negative, but it's kind of we thought right like, in order for him to build back up, he was going to take a month, he was going to take April. We said, best case scenario was like Cole Hamil's and to be back the April. It's an extra week on top of that. Essentially, so

it's the beginning of ny Ish for Luis Savarino. But it was definitely negative news, more negative than Clayton Kershaw in the NFBC over the weekend. Luis Savarno went for eleven in them sorry, in the eleventh round in the first draft, Frank, in your draft he went in the seventh round, four rounds earlier. In the last draft he went in the tenth in the middle. In our auction, he went for fourteen dollars. The guy was sitting next to us, I remember that, what rather did you go

through for you? Capahour round? Where would you have taken if he was available? Whereould you have taking Savarino? Chris? I mean with this injury, he drops for me because the other thing I don't like that it says is it says just says May, doesn't say like early May, late May. That worries me. It could be a long time. And there's no saying with these pictures, there's no saying that when they come back, they're gonna be one fully healthy and good and ready to go and be back

to form, back to the Sevareino that he was. You know what I mean, it might take him two or three weeks. So now you're waiting another two or three weeks just to get your you're paying for you know what I mean. Or even if he comes back, he has another twins now he gets he gets hurt again, he goes on the d L again for another two weeks. That's a big problem. I don't want to risk that.

So he moved down on my board. I wouldn't take him there, but I guarantee you in my drift he would have went within the first within round three or round four, right around right around there, like three. I think, because because guys went there like um Gardener are probably right. It's probably right. That's where we go in that draft. It worries me that they know already now and it's so bad he won't be back and so I don't think it's so bad. I think you want to be very,

very cautious. You spoke to Brad Ziegler about this on Friday, and he said a shoulder injury is worse than an elbow injury for a pitcher. He also said he much rather have Severino than that taking a break. We're not gonna be a after after this. Daily Rodo dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players.

uncle I never knew, called Uncle Sam. Well that they say this Uncle Sam guy wanted them to pay him like a gazillion dollars, and they didn't have a gazillion dollars, So they called this company they heard on the radio, called the tax Doctor, and the tax doctor worked with Uncle Sam's people. I think they're called the I R S. And they're able to work it out. So my mom and dad didn't have to pay Uncle Sam very much money at all. So now mom and dad are happy

and I'm happy to thanks tax Doctor. If you owe ten thousand dollars or more to the I R S or state, call now and pay less eight hundred to one five one, seven to seven, eight hundred to one five one, seven to seven.

eleven a m Easter on the Fantasy Sports Network. In on your popular podcast, providers joined the experts live on the air every day by calling in at April four, seven nine to join the Fantasy Sports Network. Back with you, Fantasy best Friends Forever, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're live here with you. And before we hit the break, we

were chatting about out Luis Severio. We were mentioning the fact that Luis Severino Brad Ziegler forward MLB picture, he's somebody that suggests you should draft Severno instead of Claying Kershaw, despite thinking of shoulder injury is worse than the elbow, worse on the back. He thinks Severino is still somebody on the open up and now the Yankees is gonna be overly cautious to make sure he's healthy for the second half of the year, But for that second half

of the year, he's going to be better. Frankie, does that change your mind at all in Sevorino? Not really, because it's just asking would you rather a Severno or a Kershaw. It's just I mean, if you just put Severingo up against guys that he's going around right now, like we would rather have a full season of Eduardo Rodriguez or the upside of a Severno, You know it gets a little bit harder at that point. Just I think he was just saying, if he had to choose

between kershaw verst Severino, he would take Severino there. Honestly, if I had to choose between all three of the injured starting pictures, and I wasn't even in on him at all, I think I would just take the biggest discount right now. He went way too early in this draft. There you go, that sounds much better, thank you, um six round. So in the sixth round in the NFPC in your draft, Frank the twelfth in the first draft, Fulty, it's hard with the colors. Fuldy went the eleventh. The

third draft, he went in the eleventh as well. So from over the weekend, Severno was one one and Fulton Evage ADP was one eighty. Average auction value for Faulty was five dollars. Severreno was twelve dollars. So get to pay more than twice the amount for Severino and you were getting Fulton Evage fifty picks later. That wasn't really a big Faulty guy. I still do think he's talented, Like he throws midten high nineties with his fastball, he's

gonna wipe out Slider. He's continuing to work on his change up and his curveball to me to make uh to to get that third in that fourth offering, to add to his repertoire. I still think he's a fine picture. I just didn't think that the swinging strike rate added up to you know, nearly ten case per nine. And he's still be a guy who gives you almost a strikeout per renting. Sure the whip might not be as good,

but whatever. Three point five three point six e r A. I understand why people like Fulton Knevitch before this injury, I wasn't really in on him because they didn't like the price. But now you're getting him. Wait, you know by far the cheapest out of all three of these injured guys. So if I had to choose one of them, I would choose Faulty. I mean, realistically, I probably won't have any of them on many teams, but if I had to choose one base on the price, it would

probably be Faulton Nevitge. Yeah, I agree, I don't. I don't want to pay for the upside obviously high with the guy like Severin now Yah, definitely even over rotator cuffed on your throwing shoulder. It's just I think I'm taking Severin. No, it doesn't surprise me at all. Greg took Judge in the first round. Well you took a mobile, hop you guys took him mobile, not Yeah, I took him over Brice. Harper thought you had Hopper rank before Judge until until I hit no, I need to change

my round. He's fine. It looks like he's fine. That's fine, He'll be fine. He's a superstar. There's no you know, yeah, Bryce Harper on me. Look, he goes picked fourteen in uh in in my draft in the first round. No Moodcat took him yesterday. I picked fourteen. Look, there's a lot to like with Bryce Harper, and I'm not going

to retract anything that I said about him. I was worried because the last image that I had before going into this draft Saturday was you know, him rolling down on the ground writhing in pain, you know, ninety five per hour right on his ankle, like right on the bone on his ankle. So yeah, I mean it came into my mind a little bit. And I'm not gonna act like you know, I'm completely ignoring what Aaron Judge is doing and what we expect from him this season.

And again, what I said about Judge was the consistency when he's at home versus on the road. He might be a lot better at home, but for Rhodo, it's just end of season numbers. I don't need him to be Aaron Judge every single week. I need Aaron Judge show and be Aaron Judge more weeks than not. I think he's going to be as long as he stays healthy. So anyone who might be worried about like injury risk, they just see how many games Aaron Judge played last year.

I mean, look, he got hit by a pitch and then he wasn't really the same when he came back. I think he's gonna be all right. I think I think he's pasted it. I think everything's good Judge list and I certainly agree Harper too. I mean he returned yesterday, we played designated hitter. We gotta see Hi out on the field. I want to see him running around a little bit. But je, let's tell let's hear a team man. You want to hear the team. We asked Chris when

he walked in today. How's the team? He's like, he shook his head at us. Well, I mean the draft was that was like the actual draft. Everybody was. It was bad and long, four hours? So why is it? Why is the draft four hours? Because I don't do a clock at first, right, and then all of a sudden I did a clock on clicky draft and I kept the clock running. But a lot of people ended up taking all the way to a second and I'd pourse it for them, and I did it like once

for each person. At one point everybody got stock on one pick and they would take forever. You know, you know what we did in our draft, and you shouldn't surprise you because it's just a little quirky. Right, So I have a timer. I have got a minute and a half the draft. If you don't pick it in a minute and a half, the next part, like the real draft, the next person can draft. And then it happens every year, somebody just missing their turn and you

see it go boom boom, boom boom. It's like, oh my god, we just let him, We just let the next person pick. Were times your time's up. Somebody made a huge mistake in this draft too. They took Kenley Jansen in the second round. They wanted to take a woke up. Buller was there right, and I guess he messed up. I don't know why he was rushing. I didn't put the clock on him, and he yelled at me and said I was rushing because I always complained about the people that take too long, so I didn't

want to take long, so I clicked the fast. I said, well, then why do you click it? Why did you click it? Then? You know that's why I said, we don't mean do Then already Bueller was gone, sure hursh what every else was gone, like you can't redo that pick now. Then he ended up going end is in the ring next round and went close double double down on closes. I guess, but I would never do it. I mean, sometimes it works, but a lot of kids did that in this drift.

This drift is very strange. It was all over the place. Are you're telling me people from from benson Hurst? Is how they draft? Well, some of them know what they're doing, some of them don't. Like Anthony Rendon fell to the fourth round and that's really the sixth round. You were in the same draft. How did you let that happen. I didn't have picks, and I didn't have the picks in third and fourth. I would never have let you end up when Cornel Escobar is your third basic you

could have had Anthony. Yeah, I know, I'm stillism that happened. So Frank, good news, and now you know I can tell the auction values from the other night in the league. Bad news. I'm still you will. I don't know if you're gonna be able to get in the league. All right, synth he's mine, great, blame Floria and the league. I may, yeah, but we could probably just eliminate Floria as an owner now. And just can't don't let me because I'm a co manager.

He's the manager website. Why can't you just emailed him or I emailed them twice? Ready, ye after me once and talk to for you? All right? Yeah? What what's your team look like? All right, I'll break it down real quick. Let's go with the hit is catcher. I got Wilson Ramos, which was the sixth catcher of those six catchers that we like, last the last one, so that was good with me. Uh. Freddy Freeman, who I

kept it was my first basement. Azzi Ally's I took in the sixth My guy third base, Edward Esbar That's where I made. That was in the eighteenth round, though, So I think I got some good value there. Short stop Lindor I kept in the fourth outfield. Bryce Harper was my first pick. What pick did you have in the first round? I had the second overall pick. The

first guy took Aronado. He had Eronado, he just didn't keep him and he played that strategy game where he dropped and redrafted him and you know who he kept instead of Aeronado, Lavators and like the sixteenth seventeen. So it was a good play. It was a good play, all right. So who did you take Harper over? Um? I took Harper over John call Stanton Noah's synderguard Carrasco went after that, Charlie Black in Machado. Yeah, you made the right choice. I would have done the same thing.

Yeah this year field in the outfield, we got Tommy fan Baby, that's my number two. I did it for Frank no I I mean, listen, I got I got him to Steel, I got him. I think for me a Steel tell ventures latching onto the BFS in the eighth round, it's a tenth round, eleventh round. I mean that's a great pick, I think, right there. So I took that, and then I went Doll in the very next round, who I love. Here was the problem with that, I was choosing between Doll and McCutcheon was there too,

and then smart choice was McCutcheon. I think I feel a little better, but I like McCutchen too, and I would have taken dollar. I think McCutcheon's a little safer though, because Dolls was getting hurt and you haven't played full season. That worries me. Yeah, but he's got no I think he made the right choice. I love that, right, you know, like ten spots higher than McCutcheon. So with that, yeah, so then Dolls my third, and uh, my utility is

going to be makeshift. I have Garrett Hampson, Eloy Hamenez and Byron Buxton. So I mean you could throw Bucks in in there until up will eventually be there. Now, this is where this is where I could get to maybe we get a little sketchy here. You're ready for this, even I want you to be extremely harsh. Kept in

the tenth round. Aaronola to Jose Barrios three, Joey Luczy, gotta get him even really early, and then I had to take him in in the in like the fifth or sixth, and so yeah, I had to take him on six you get your brethren, So yeah, I had

to take him. Everybody was taking pictures very early. I have, uh my other pictures, Kyle Freeland, Luke Weaver, Chris Paddock, Matt Strom, Matt Matthew Boyd and then my closers and Michael Gibbons and Syranthy dominguis all right, Greig thoughts like, like you say, Sir Anthony Dominguez that that pronunciation was awesome? Was it? That's that's the biggest takeaway closes. I'm okay, right, I'm all right with the I don't like after I

like bos Loczy, I don't like after that. He ended up with Paddock, Greggy, which I think we should try and touch on a little bit here because he goes his a DP from over the Weekend was one eighties six in the draft that I was in our own. Maddie Modica actually ended up with Chris Paddock, took him

in the fourteenth round. Pictures who went just after him were Arietta Kyle Freeland, Engjin Ryou, Stephen Matt's and then at the end of the fifteen I end up taking Colin MQ as my fifth start taking pictures, so he gets Chris Paddock as his sp five. I like it. In the fourteenth round, he's climbing though he went right after Luzardo went in the in the fourteenth round and

I saw Chris Paddock. He was going for like eight bucks in auctions, which I mean it might not sound like a lot, but like Cole Hamilets goes for eight bucks, so I mean this is like like eight bucks Cole hamiles And I know Youse Deca got Paddock yesterday on one of his office teams for eight bucks, and his average auction value from over the weekend with seven dollars. Other pictures who also go for seven dollars included Rick Porcello,

Ross Stripling, h else be ever, Nathan Vivaldi. I don't rather have a Valdi for the same price as Paddock. I don't know. I think people, but the thing is, what is he going to be up? I know he wants starting with and he's just gonna get capt It's

just not gonna have It's not smart from the Padres too. Okay, even if he's good enough to be in the rotation, it's not smart to have him in there because you forego an extra year of service time where he's under team control, and you want to be able to compete under this Manny Machado contract for as long as you can. So to gain that extra year of Chris Paddocks elgibility, you wait until like the middle of April. I don't

I don't think Paddick's gonna be up. I think maybe you know too, maybe three by the third or fourth start into the season, personally see Chris Paddock, Lizardo. They might actually keep in the rotation just because the Oakland a word terrible and they really do want to try and compete in the a O West this year. So I'll tell you this, I would rather Paddock stay down in the or not pitch till a month into the season, because I'd rather have him at the end than at

the beginning. But he's not gonna be there at the end if he starts at the beginning, because he's gonna get capped. He's not gonna be able to pitch. They're gonna skip starts with him. And stuff like that. He's probably gonna be d forty innings at the top a hundred forty tops because last year he only put togethers on the dot. So I'm looking at the projections on fan graphs. They have him four between one and so that's actually higher than I thought. No, yeah, I actually

they really like him. I didn't realize how many innsy pitch les ye pitch less than that. What if I told you that Chris Paddock would give you a hundred and forty five innings of a three point six to e r A like, that's right out for anything, right around two walks per nine and at one point won five whip and be very interested. That's the top forty starting, very interesting. That's the top forty starting. Warning know where

I got them around the pitches around. I got him in the fifteenth round, which is later really and around. The guy's going around there. The pitch is going around there with Michael Waka, Dylan Bundy, Sean nukem Alex Wood, Alex ray As two Ki Toussant, Matt Harvey went very earlier.

Have they ever heard of Chris Paddock or no? I think he flew into the radar no, But when I took him, everybody's like, oh, great pick, like they did, like they knew who was Well, you could have took him like three rounds earlier, you know what I'm saying. Zardo went in the eleventh, the eleventh, alright, So Luzardo in the eleventh vers Paddock in the and for most of the weekend, I mean, in the draft yesterday, Luzardo

and Paddick went in the same same round. They both went in the fourteen round in a fifteen team draft yesterday. But I mean man based on and that that's not just one projection system that's really high on Chris Paddock. They're all in the same range, like they have in between a three point four eight ear and three point seven seven e r A for this season. And no, nobody has him higher than at one point one seven whip because he doesn't want to in case. But here's

the thing. He's never pitched above double A. Now he's holding his own in the spring against major leaguers and he's making them look foolish. So I'm not really worried about that. But again, I mean, he has thirty seven endings in his career at double A. He hasn't pitched in Triple A yet, and he's coming off a year

where he only pitched ninety innings. So look, Walker Bueller was a guy who last year went from nineties seven in ninety seven innings between the miners and the majors, and then he went all the way up to one seventy five. I don't think that Paddock is going to do that. But for some crazy reason, if the if the padres end up, you know, in the discussion for like a wild card spot, and they might need to

leave Paddock in the rotation. I hope starting Pitcher. So it's not outside the realm of possibility because we just saw someone like Walker Bueller do it right, But I think if you want to be a little bit more realistic, one forty two one under fifty endings is more realistic a lot too, because he hasn't pitched a single game

in the Major. I'm looking at these guys, I mean, these guys create projections for a living venture and they haven'tvative right for around usually very conservative, Yes they are, they're very conservative, So that seems like a lot they really they have Paddock projected as like a top forty starting pitcher right now. According to fan ground you look at what he's done in the minors, it's if he's off for nine last year, zero point nine six and double as six nine walks per nine at high a

ball last year. He doesn't walk anybody, anybody. This is why he's there man. And he gets groundballs too. I mean he checks all the boxes. What have I always said? You can give me it doesn't even have to be a strikeout perny. If you give be eight case per nine, keep your walks per nine too, you know the low two's, and you give me a forty five to fifty percent groundball. Right. Those are all the boxes. Those are the ones that

I'm checking off. That's why last year I ended up drafting a bunch of shares of Patrick Corbin and Jamison tie On because in years past when they were on, that's what they would give you. You know, between eight and nine case per nine they would keep the walks per nine under three, they would give you forty groundball. Right, those are the things that I'm looking at if I could check the contents, like because you can get swings and misses, you get enough strikeouts so that you can

wiggle yourself out of trouble. You get groundballs that you know when you needed a double playball, you get groundballs, and you limit the issues that that could be cost to you because you're not giving people on basis. And that's the problems are all the three things that I'm looking at. A lot of people drift just on strikeouts alone, and then taking guys like Robbie Ray who are completely

erratic and five walks per nine less. Right, So you want that really, especially in a weekly head to head lee where you need this guy to be consistently pitching good quality start games. I look for guys that are gonna give me a lot of quality. This is why I drove Kyle Freelan. I don't know why everybody's sleeping on Kyle Freelan. Great last year, like great, there was no way around it. Yeah, but he did walk a lot. He did have quite a few walks. But it's Colorado,

the Ventra, I know. But I'm okay with that. What you didn't end up, what happened you would end You would have had him.

I wanted to drop a player and pick up you don't how to Camarga said, no, we're already having issues here, So thank's going great. Think's going great? This is why I don't have a co manager of that. Well, you don't have Comargo. Man, guy, I can't see that. How do I see it? Signing

to my name? I am signed into your name? He scrolled down to a team BFF and yeah, click it. I don't see it though. Let's get the free agency together. Now, let's figure this out. Why do we have a pink hat that says be on it? We're real quick? So you guys liked my pitching? Is that what we came down to? You still don't like like Aaron Noah, you don't like Luczy's not the same metric people everyone out, not as my SP three flazy, He's not food gazy could be alright, he's not an SP three. But you

got off to a hot start last year. You know what I worry about Luczy. He only throws two pitches, really yeah, but he's working on two more developed those. I want to see you like what happens next to Lukez because you gotta. I mean, his fastball was in his pitch he throws. He throws like this change up slider. Sometimes it looks like a changeup. It's like a changeup drop mixed with like curve, like we really good interesting pitch.

But I mean if you if you kind of just sit on that pitch and you wait, yeah hit yeah, Like you know, he's gotta develop a third pitch. I would like him more as my my sp four or later. I couldn't win everywhere I wanted hitting most of the team. I looked at all the teams I have, like at least top three in hitting. But you know, points leagues, they're one with pitching stuff. You know that. Yeah, but that's the thing. Think about pitching in a weekly You

always mixing a match. And you know what I'm saying, you you keep your star pitchers every week closes. That's my dad's favorite strategy. I'm gonna just pick up crappy too star pitchers. I'm just gonna see how that works out. I'm gonna rotate Luca. You told me you someone you really picked up Mike Fires because he's gonna he's gonna give you three starts in the first week, because he

might give you three starts this week right too. But you know what Greg is that opportunities to get negative points from Mike Fires I don't know why he did that. It's crazy. When is the we end technically seventh April seven, so it's yeah, would he pitch three games? I don't think so, right, I don't think so. But man as possible, I mean evenn Mike fires and two starts, I don't. Yeah,

I'm really interested. I don't like that. I'm plugging Boyden for the two stocks, because what are you doing that, Boyd man drifting in the nineteenth rounds? You have to start. He's gonna get two starts. I gotta start him over Freeling, Weaver, Paddock or Strong. I think he's got two starts. They all got one. Why why would I not? I'm not

that Boyd guy. I thought talking nonbout that. I'm not saying he's very good, but whatever, I'll take the two stocks from Speaking of drafting, once you're done drafting your season long fantasy baseball teams and the MLB season gets out of the way, it's time to swing for the fences.

n T S. Why there you go? You go? Um, all right, Frank, she was talking about our Action ventures had ventures, old man. I mean I didn't know if you were gonna get Ian Cohn in at some point this week? Yeah, how did he do? Because he was champion right he took albert Monday. He didn't have single player over thirty dollars? Is that correct? I look at I look at that right now. Yeah, he was the one who ended up with Adelberta. But he had he had a strategy that he wasn't gonna spend more than third.

That's b S the strategy. He's good for you guys over thirty dollars. That's not true. Yeah, he beat us up on Ronald I think he and then he and then he stopped. Yes, but you paid for by the way, has raid higher than Christian Yelloch. Wow? True? He picked him over in your draft, picked him over him? All right? It makes it makes me feel pretty good. I told you I wanted to over the same amount both. That makes sense, I guess. I mean Yellis had the m

v VP season. Everybody thinks he's probably gonna regress. So if you think that, then I guess you could put a Kuni on the same level. So the most that Ian Con paid was forty bucks, I'm sorry, thirty bucks for Francisco Lindor. And he said that wasn't part of the plan. He was kind of price in forcing and it fell into his lap. He spent thirty on the Door, on Mondency eighteen, on Chapman eighteen, on Glaber twenty two and Gary Sanchez and the Yankees or what that's a

lot of Yankees. Um he's pitching He's best picture. Fourteen bucks on Harmon Marquez, Your Boy, fourteen bucks on Massa hero Tanaka. I like the Marquetes price twelve dollars on you darbish. The Marques Paray this is good. Freak said that at the time, this is a really good price. So we opened the bidding. We're trying to get knock people out for cheaper than biber actually, so we were trying to knock people out and we had there's two guys nothing that's here. One was Wheeler and one was

Louise Castillo. So let's get the Castile. So we get an idea of how much Wheeler will go for. So we opened the bidding at nine for Louise Castio. Nobody bid. It's all right, going once, Like, look at each other like we're about to get Louise Castillo. I'm not a big but alright, so somebody bids ten, somebody bids ten. All right, we don't done it or whatever? Going once, going twice, sold ten bucks Louise Castile. Yeah. I looked at each other like should we have done that more?

I wouldn't say it's a it's a good price compared to her. Zach Wheeler went for fifteen dollars more. Well, everybody's high on the wheel of thing right now. I feel like, do you think there's that big of a difference between Luis Castillo and Marquez, because you have four dollars savings on Castillo ten dollars in Marque. I think there is a big difference between Christio and Marquez. Yes, Shane Bieber goes for fourteen to the same team, actually,

and Luis Castillo goes for ten. I don't know if there should be a four Shane Bieber, like, I think it's on that level with Marquez. Yeah, likely he might even be better than markets, but I don't know. You have them all ranked in the same area. I have it Bieber, Marquez, Castillo that order twenty three. Yeah, people went very high in my drift too. I mean, listen, could be we all like bib. I think he deserves to be up there with those guys. But Markes already

did it first. He actually likes just Sane, Yeah, Justin absolutely. I mean there's a few songs my girlfriend loves Justin bie everybodys Justin Bieber. Yeah, just because because he looks like you. No, not really, you know, it looks more California. You know what I'm saying. He's Canadian? Okay, well I didn't know. Yeah, Um, alright, So the rest of our team here, Frank, let see you can find it all right. We executed plan. I don't know if you were here

a venture we were making the plan. I don't actually weren't. We did in the afternoon. So we had our catchers. Spent five dollars or cat two catchers combined to want to get our catchers for ten dollars or less. We only spent five dollars on our catchers. Who are wellingeen Castio Beef in Ohia. He was my guy Castillo as our backup. All good first base. We really wanted Matt Olsen. We got Matt Olson sixteen bucks. I like it, right,

um our second baseman. Now this is interesting because I had we the plan was the Robinson Canal, and the name that I kept seeing out there was Scooter Jeanette. This is one of those times I wanted to bid and I ask you, Frank too. The Scooter Jeanette was at ten bucks. Yeah, Jeanette went after Canoa. We did so we already had Cano and it looked at me and you were like that one hurt? Why would have happened?

So we had Cane for fifteen Jeanette wet and he only went for ten, and I was like, I'm okay, I'm okay with can listen. I think could have a monster year on method. So wait, we like it. It's part of the plant. Yeah, I think he could do better than school like Scooters, Like he's good, he's solid, but Scooters really sick. No, he's not. He's capped out. He's not doing better than what he's been doing. I'm sorry.

He's what he's been doing. He's amazing. It's good to eight plus batting average, twenty two to five home runs years old, proct you love these kind of in the red lineup. You know, he he gives you a little everything. He's solid all around. I mean, can I have He's better than Canal during the seams here, I'd rather have Janet. I think the reason why people for five dollars less. Ye, I agree with that. You're putting Cano low because he's

he's been hurt, he's old, he's had a lot of risk. Yeah, when he played, he's a he's a better all around hitter than and maybe not, maybe not at this point in his career. Maybe not. Maybe now. We talked to over the weekend that brought up a good fact about Robinson cano now that you know he got the p

D suspension. They were actually questioning whether or not he was using p ds for a long time in his career to for that long time he thinks he might actually maybe like one year older, Robinson can know he's now off the p DS now because he had the

suspension last year. Who's to say that all of a sudden he he doesn't get a little more injury prone now if he gets nicked up, he misses a few more games because he's been an iron man before last year, he played like a hundred and fifty games every single season. I mean, he's always in your lineup. There were there were some questions about it was he using p d s to stay healthy like Eddie Pettitt did theory, and

because he's old, I understand that. But like look at like Mark te got suspended for the p DS, came right back at Holmes, you know what I mean? Like and when Robinson can Okay Mack last year, we looked at it, I mean the product, we're very concerted with it. It was he was awesome when he came back. So I don't think you did you did anything too wrong. Like in my rankings, I have them back to back. I have back to back and four dollar fight. All

differences would be difference. You don't think that's a big differences in the draft. It's such a big difference now, not for us, because we we stuck to our plans so on point that we had money left over at the end to go out and get our guys later. We spent three dollars each our last two players. We didn't have to get the one dollar guys. So and that's because we were really stuck on the guys that we wanted. So we had a lot of the way the draft fell, we had a lot of money left over.

We played, we didn't play bully, but we already get who we wanted. Yeah, we ended up getting Yes Luzardo for three dollars. And when I look at the NFBC NFBC average auction values from over the weekend, Lozardo went for six. So and I've seen a few drafts where you went for for eight dollars. He had a max bit of nine dollars. That's where the money comes to play.

The dollasar for three and Paddocks, just for the reference for record, went for two in this yea and we were already out by them, so we couldn't get Paddick. We already filled out our third base bail. We should have done. Actually, man, you should have got was auto empaddic. You know, I realized now we threw out Aaron Santez as our last picture for three bucks. I wonder if he wanted, but I think it's because I didn't realize that Paddick was still available, that we should have just

thrown out Paddy for three bucks. And thinks we could have got him. Imagine what happened was I at that time? For three bucks? You might have got him for three bucks? We just threw him out there. Yeah. Um, our third basement is Justin Turner, who we both loved short Stop. As we said, the short Stop was tough. A lot of the guys who wanted at short Stop you went for actually cheaper than what we got cano for and

cheaper than when we got Matt Olsen. And the crazy thing was we wanted Justin Turner or Miguel and do har And and do Hard went for twenty four dollars. Should that be that big of a p Eleven dollars more for an Justin Turner that they paid too much. Yeah, um, our short stop, as we said, as edwardo Escobar, we went five bucks on us bar. Our corner infielder is Yonder Alonzo two bucks and we still that from Nando

and Dane, which is great. They were very mad, very mactually going once, going twice and we're like, crap too, and they're like that was that? And then our middle infielder um is I don't say one dollar, one dollar, one dollar Bob outfielder. Highest priced player was Ronald Kuna at forty one. Second outfielders Victor Roeblas at nineteen dollars. Third outfielders Andrew McCutcheon at twelve, which is exactly the plan. Fourth outfielder was Austin Meadows, part of the plan. And

the fifth outfielder, now, we really wanted Domingo Santana. Frank went to the bathroom for Domingo Santana and I didn't know how much he wanted. I didn't know how much you wanted to spend, you know. Honesty went to the bathroom because we had tall. I broke the seal because we were talking, we were talking about spending about four bucks on this guy. So I went to four and I went over that. I went to five, he went to six, and Frank wanted to seven, and he went

for six bucks. That one hurt when I came back and he told me and Domingo Santana went. He was part of the plan. And then when he told me who he went to, I was like, he went to Roonus rous amazing. I love Ronus his TV Rona's bid us up for Zach Wheeler. So we look, we had a little We had a little rivalry Ronus in terms of bidding, and then we ended up beating him in fantasy basketball. How about that you got your revenge? Well I would still no, I'd rather win and get Domingo Santana.

I would have rather had all of them. I would have rather got Domingo Santana and one great. Yeah, but I didn't know how much I wanted to spend for Domingo. You were going willing to go higher than six, you one boy, when I wouldn't if he would have went to eight. When I went to a draft her now like I wish we did. Obviously, to last half is not bad. It's a big difference. So ideally we wanted Marwin Gazale to be like the middle endfielder, which we

still can do. If we get another outfield at some point, which I'm sure we'll like Tyler O'Neil plays it, that'd be great. That work out really really well for us. That's rounds um. The utility players becall franco in that line. We thought it was like a sneaky bye with three bucks or starters, a number one starters Trevor Bauer at thirty five dollars, and unfortunately Bauer was literally the last ace off the board. So you had to do it.

We had to what was the plan hindsight, I know we wanted we wanted Garrett Cole went for thirty six, so we weren't willing to go to thirty seven, and then Verlanders. It was Syndergar. We really wanted. Syndergar was at thirty five. Bower we got a thirty five was the same price. It was fine, but what really hurt synd Remember that. Yeah, we're trying for it, but I mean, I think you know the way that it all turned out, I would have played thirty six. I would have paid it.

He went. He went thirty seven dollars to Christopher Carrow in one of the auctions this weekend. Loves Garret Cole, he loves Syndergard, and he ended up with the entire Mets pitching staff. Yeah he did. Besides the ground he did, he had he had Syndergar, he had all those guys. So so we drafted thirty five. We thought we had a really nice deal on Jack Flaherty at one. We were really excited about that, and then my eyes got big with Zach Wheeler and I got the biddy Ward

run paid twenty three for him. I think you gotta pay at this point, which, as it turns out, we like a pitching staff pitching sta because then we run that out with must grow the five bucks. You know, I love three, So we're gonna have that upside once, you know, whenever he's in the rotation. Aaron Sanchez, who could be good again. You don't know if he can get past these you know, finger blisters whose I was

actually watching him pitch yesterday on the mountain. They were talking a lot about this that you know, you have to have any issues so far, the velocity taken back up a little bit. Um. He just gotta stay healthy. We've seen Aaron sante Is upside in the past, so you know, if you're getting him as your fifth or sixth starting pitcher. I don't have a problem with that. Antony.

The only thing I like, I think his velocity has gone down the past three years and a row because well that because these pitching through injuries, so the past two years he's been hurt, so it's affected his velocity. I can't disagree with that. You know, it's if you can avoid these. We probably messed up on the Paddick thing. Yeah, that's okay though, I mean it's one thing're gonna mess up if we can have that back. But we get Wade Miley and Michael Paniada on our bench as a

reserve round starting pitchers, like we both like those. Wade Miley often when I start in Houston with the spring training everything that they touched, Herns the gold Michael Pinata, Let's see what he can do. I'm not on the pad one I can't and then I can't knock people.

Have you been burned by before? I understand I haven't even been burned by him, but I know in the past, you know, like just he's always getting hurt or just you know, not performing and never seen and then as the closer Roberto Student at six team was repumped about Jordan takes it five bucks, all right, cool? And then Cody Island at seven three really has closers, right, that's awesome. This is great. It's a more Draff Pretts. Frank and I have a draft. I have to tomorrow. It should

be fun. Chris Spencer, Mattladigo, Frank Standfold, Greg Sulston. Thanks to everybody downstairs having a wonderful night. We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope.
