Nolan Arenado Trade Coming? The Coors Field Effect,

Forever Show. Start listening to us or suffer the consequences. Listen do due dinit Yeah, welcome your Friday from Fine God Frob Say, Francis Franca stand ball ladies and job in your BF. With that, we welcome you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He is Frank Stample. I am Greg, so Frank was having him on. Greggy. Happy Tuesday to your buddy. I heard a little rumor here that we are talking baseball. What's up? Greggy had to sleep last night, so great man, really really well

last night? Nightmares? Nightmares, no nightmare? To do something differently last night? Did I put an extra blanket on me? Do you get cold or something? I was just really cold last night before I went to bed. It's like, I mean, it's cold outside. I didn't want you to like steal a blanking on the freezings. I just put the extra blanket on. It's so great if you don't live in the Northeast. It's about thirty degrees outside right now, and especially at night that goes down to like below.

It was cold last night. Do you normally open the window or um in this weather now? Like I open it like a millimeter just so I could get like a tiny bit of air. It's cold. We don't. I don't put the heat on because it's my room is so small, it's so hot, like open the wind that then I would open the window in that case, but I'd rather just stay cold and put the extra blanket on. That's it, all right, I know, Greggy is a big

cold guy. You leave the A C running all the way until when when you normally stop using the air conditioning, like into the fall. In my my building, the air conditioning like switches over to heat, um like mid October, which always like really upsets me because like you've been global warming now like the the I mean, we still get some sixty degree days in October, remember as well, even my wedding was freezing. Well in November. He's like

hot out hot, but like warm out. The biggest part of the winter is now January, February, March, rather than December January February. So right, once, I'd rather just like push the a C like in the November now instead of just cutting off October. I had a buddy, a friend that I grew up with, that he would leave his air conditioner running all year long. Love it. It never stopped, love it even in the winter. I'm like, I love it so much. I would get I would

enter his house, like, what is going on here? What is the house like? Thirty degrees like cold? So there cold? Great? What do you want to talk about today? Greg? I wanted to talk You asked me this last night baseball for transparency, Like, all right, what do you want to do? I know, like he's like, Wednesday, we have a Um, I'm in a mockry. I mean this mockard industry or real draft. Yeah, it's not a real draft. We're not

playing it out. It's an expert's mock draft. Right, So so friends in a mock So I want to talk about that on Wednesday and Zion's coming back? When do you not talk about it? You know what? Then we should talk baseball and like the out of gifts, the Frank cent in five minutes spans, Oh is the Denzel Washington one? For sure? It was mom man, mom man, and I want to talk baseball. And Frank knew why because I was going through my time hop and like three or four years ago, I was deeven like Tyler

Chatwood splits at this time. And then when I saw that, I was like, man, I really fall like, what team was Tyler Chatwood on? I have no idea? Oh my god, what's What's I have no idea? See, this is all grown up, Greggy. Now what team is Tyler chat wasn't have time for fantasy baseball anymore, so I last remember Tyler Chatwood on the Cubs. I feel like he's not in the Cubs anymore. Is that? Is it accurate? I don't know. You tell me, I'm asking you. I'm asking you.

I don't know what team he is on? What team is he on? Greg? But I said, I don't know, I'm asking you he's on the Cubs. It was a quick true question. I think, yeah, he's penciled in as

their fifth starter. Right now, ty Chat was still remember the Cubs, it would be interesting to see the coast rotation now that like you don't have Joe Madden to try just like screw you up, as well as like the position you don't have Joe Madden isn't there, um, but we like I don't think that'll be as much as much as like position flexibility as we're used to seeing. Probably um for the Cubs, it would be really different

not having Joe Madden there. And now Joe Madden's back of the Angels, like a lot of things will change there. I think the Cubs are gonna stink. It's must being honest, They're gonna stink. Trade Chris bro I think they're total They're total wind. They're total wind total. That's just makes sense. Their regular season win total is around eighty six and a half. Right now, I would I would be hammering the under. I don't think the Cups are gonna be good. Yeah,

I haven't got through the wind totals yet. By the way, it's making wind totals. This guy dominated the NFL wind total. That's right, and yet with a team shirt for me, now ey makes a lot more money than I do, So I vote that Ey. Just that's that's up to you guys, not me. I I just want to see if I could talk him into All I did was win graduations. Greg, thank you. I won the baseball win totals. You won the football win totals very much. Have it

no other way? Would you not have it any other way? Well? What are the experts? Right? So as long as e Y doesn't win like he did advantage football three times against us, Come on, man, you're supposed to build up your your strange. I don't do that and put down your weakness. I don't do that. That's not how we operate on this program. So anyway, going back, so when any when Frank send me that text, I was like, I want to talk baseball, and I really thought about

what made sense to talk about. And yes we can going through leaderboards and I'm not there yet where I can kind of just dive into some of these hard to like hard head percentage last year or full transparency. I'm not there yet either, Greg, Like I'm really diving into pitching. I'm about thirty pictures in right now. I'm deep diving every starting picture. So by this haven't even

got to other positions yet. So by this time three years ago, like I was kind of looking at some of these advanced statistics alive with the quodations because it was just advance statistics. But like I was looking at advance stistics and trying to see, like, oh, this guy should either bounce back or over before we're underperformed what he did in the year before. They're not there yet, so I'm more in the mainstream, like I think a

lot of fantasy players are at the moment. And the biggest story, of course in baseball is today with the Hall of Fame class being announced. There's there's a pretty good chances Derek Jeter is the only player announced as a Hall of Famer today, two packed shore where picture, Um, there's a really good chances Derek is the only Hall

of Famer announced today. The other top contenders, if you will, are Kurt Schillen, Who's Kurt Schilling, Who's an a hole, So I don't want to talk about him, and but that shouldn't affect whether or not he gets into the Hall. Actually is that because there is a aren't you put in the Hall of Fame based on your play on the field performance mostly yes, but there's also the the word is but the reason that, like I guess, you have to be able to represent these Hall of Fame

community Sherman Sweet, I'll find it during the break. No, I get what you're saying. Obviously, like Kurt Schilling has been like in some weird speculative stuff, but what he did on the field, there's no doubt it's good enough. The same thing of this steroid guys, and I believe the stericus should be in so I should Larry Walker. All Right, we're back raft. This NFL season is now upon us, so you can be going the eighth person away in one million dollars in a Fandel Draft Kings tournament.

This is why I don't want to talk about baseball nonsense, special slowing up for something you have the I'm talking bass and Mazzari Yankee bass. We're going to talk about deter Reto Peck. Yeah, so Gen's gonna get in today. A shilling doesn't. And it was a character clause that I was referring to keep him out and fine. The steroid guys, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, they always holler around six pc. I don't think they go. I think people that kind of made their minds and the year

four the more year against them. That doesn't really change year after year, unfortunately, which is I think ridiculous. I don't know. I've definitely shared this before, but I'll just for mind people who might be uh might have just joined us recently watching the Fantasy bfs UM. There were players basically before the steroid era, from the I don't know, let's say seventies to eighties, seventies through nineties and all too greenies. They all took uppers. It was yeah, there

was coke, there was you know, there was amphetamines. It's it's speed, it's a performance enhancing drug. It doesn't do what steroids do. I mean they help you in different ways. But those things were very popular in the era, just before the steroid era. So why are those players in the Hall of Fame. I don't know. I mean, you can't turn your eye to one thing and you know, strike down down on another. So it's ridiculous to me. The steroid guy should all be in the Hall of Fame.

I agree. I'm completely with you in that, completely with you. So the other guy who has not been um I thought of using steroids, but outside of the steroid of where he played his home baseball games, and that's Larry Walker. This is Larry Walker's tenth and final season on the ballot, and last year, Frank how what is the percentage of votes that got he was right around sixty of the vote? Yea, I think he's like if I remember correct six A right, it's fifty. It was fifty of the vote later in

his final years. A lot, it's a lot. He's Larry Walker. Hall of favor to you, I think that Larry Walker is a whole famous I agree with you, Yes, I agree with you. A lot of peoples all he's very good. I don't think it's fair to say, but they've let so many other players that have kind of fit that mold beforehand into the Hall of Fame that if it's the very best, then that's how that's what people should

have been judged by. All along, there are a bunch of players in there who were not the very best in the sport in the face, Yes, Larry Walker should not be punished because he played in Colorado. But that's the thing. It's not fair, like, oh, he took advantage of where he played, all right, plenty of players have played the confines of Wrigley Field when it was even smaller than it is, right, Like, it's crazy that this guy gets, in my opinion, that he gets penal lives

because he plays in Colorado. That's ridiculous to me. And I understand the home and rose splits are egregious, that that's fine, but it's not. That's not a fine case. Which leads me to another player who, as you're going to point out in a few moments, Frank, whose home and road splits are a drastic and that's Nolan Aaronado. The other big story in baseball, outside of the Hall of Fame and outside of every cheater in Houston, is no one Arnado and will he or will he not

be traded? You asked me a few weeks back, Frankie, isn't a foregone conclusion that no One Arnado will not be a member of the Colorado Rockies next year? And I said absolutely not, like I think he will play for the Rockies. Last night, their general manager came out and said, yeah, we don't want the trade talks. No one will be here in spring an Aeronado and Aaronado's manuri silent up until now until he says, quote, I feel disrespected, And then everyone was like, oh, those disrespected.

He was being shot in the trade. He then calls a reporter back, no, no, no, no, I don't feel disrespected about being trade rumors. It's fine, it's part of the business. I feel disrespected for things I don't want to talk about, and I feel disrespected over how our

offseason has gone. And if you read this, tea leaves there it's very obvious when he's talking about when he signed this monstrous extension last year, he went to the owner, Dick Mont for it, and he went to um, the general manager, and he said, listen, if I'm signing here, I expect to be competitive every single year. I want to compete every single year. Two years ago, they spent all these money on terrible players like Wade Davis and Brian Shaw and Umm and Ian Desmond, none of whom

worked out. But they tried last year with a couple of editions like Daniel Murphy. He thought, Okay, maybe they'll be all right this year. I like them. Last year, I'm sure I took the over because I'm a Moroakis fan, and they were awful. They were awful, So this year, no one hour Nado expected them to improve, to do something.

But the Rockies have not signed a single major league free agent and it's currently January twenty one, not one this offseason for a team that finished with one of the worst records in the National League seventy one and nine one awful. Now, in fair NDErs to them, they do have the second highest payroll in the NL West going into this season, behind the Dodgers. I believe the

payroll hundred and seventy million dollars. There's not nothing many means, but Arronado doesn't feel like the team is keeping their word and trying to compete. Do you believe that the Rockies are trying to compete. What do you believe that Nolan Arnado that they essentially lied to him and thus they're being disrespectful. I do think that they lied to him. I mean based on the off season that they've had thus far, obviously coming off the season where they won

seventy one games. I mean, mind you, he's been up with the team since They've only been over five hundred twice during that span where you know, they lost in the wild Card game in seventeen to the Diamondbacks. They won the wild card game against the Cubs in eighteen, and they lost in the NLDS they got swept by the Milwaukee Brewers. Ineen, So he's tasted postseason of the season just twice in seven seasons with the team, and I understand, Look, this happens in all sports. It's happening

with Bradley Beale right now with the Washington Wizards. And guys don't want to play for losing teams. And yes, they signed these huge contract extensions and they're looking out for themselves and their family. And look, I'm never gonna blame a player for wanting to get their money. There's I will never blame a player for that whatsoever. So it's it's a little bit of both here, right, because

you signed the extension, right, you're supposed to honor that contract. Yes, you want to be competitive, but you signed an extension with the Colorado Rocky. If you wanted to be with a more competitive team, why didn't you just go to free agency where you still would have got paid the same amount people were gonna pay nol Arroado no matter what. Obviously, not just the colorad the Rockies. There there are plenty of suitors out there as we see now amidst trade

rumors that want noln Aranado on the team. He chose to sign with the Rockies, so it's yes, the Rockies lied to him. They are not competitive, right, and I don't see them being comp at it any time soon. They're pitching is terrible and it has been basically as long as they've been a franchise. They cannot get good pitching in corps Field. They had that half a year of you Balda, Yes, you baldome Is that was fun,

but outside of that, they can't find any pitching. And no matter how great your offense is, if you're a one sided team, and again, it doesn't matter what support you are, You're really not going to be competitive. So it was wrong by the Rockies if they told him that they were going to be competitive in order to get him to sign that contract. But at the same time, going Ronado should have realized the Rockies are probably not going to be good, so he could have signed that

contract somewhere else. It's a little bit of both, but I see why he would be angry with the organization. Ultimately, I think he gets traded before the season starts. Great two so I really didn't think so before yesterday, I really didn't think he's killing their leverage too. With all this, clearly he got his mouth shut. You know, I guess he's getting traded, really and you want to say the

wrong thing. He didn't want to be disrespectful in anyway, but you know, in this negotiation, I'm sure listen, we think about the personal side. Where you live in Colorado, you like playing in Colorado, your family obviously lives in Colorado, you don't want to move. And if they're gonna offer you close to close to the amount of money that you expect to make on the open market, you stay.

But he wanted the best of both worlds. He wants to get paid and he wanted to be competitive, so he went to the owner of the GM and listen, I will sign with you, but you need to be competitive and you need to lay out the money. You have to do it. And there's probably a level of loyalty there too, right, Sure, the team to drafts him. He wants to win with that team when he wants the loyalty on both sides, right, Like, you're and that's fair.

I agree that that's what they told him. I mean, we don't know what happened to My reports are that they told him that, And why wouldn't they if you want to keep going Alorado? Of course, yeah, we're gonna bring it a bunch of guys and I'm sure they're not excuse, but in their minds, I'd be like, listen, we aren't trying to be competitive. We put a hundred seventy billion dollars into this team. I mean, not my fault that Ian Desmond and Daniel Murphy. So they need

a manager short general manager. Yes, yes, yeah they were. They placed their manager recently in Bud Black, bringing Bud Black and replacing Walt White. But yeah, sure, Bud Black isn't the answer either he's been there for what to or three years? Now, let me the playoffs before that? True? The first year he hasnt made the playoffs, I think right, that is correct, So I mean hen't placed him after that? That's not fair. So question now becomes will know Narro

not to get traded. It's funny because last week we were talking about doing a little of Milan art out of players profile a bit. So let's dive into one hour. Notcause we know what he's in Colorado. He's the first round pick. He gets traded, is he still the first round pick? How does his career compared to some of the other players that have gone out of Colorado in the prior of their careers. We'll tell you for the

right Frank Stample, Greg Susiman here looking Rockies Baseball. In fact, no, no Arnado may be traded, may not be, but right now you have this mock draft tomorrow, and people have seemingly fallen off the Nolan Arnado bandwagon for bold reasons. One those drastic home road splits. Number two, in fact, he may get traded so he won't be playing in Colorado for eighty one games anymore. Number Three, here's a

run at all. And when you have all these guys that hit all these home runs in the juice ball era, all these RBIs and the juice ball era, and he hit, you know, close enough to three hundred juice bal era, you want guys that score runs, and you want guys that have a speed. Nolan Arnado neither really his strongest seed. I would say so, Frank, you've done some research here. What say you about non Arnado. I think we're knowing

Ronado is going right now. According to the NFBC in the month of January, at pick thirteen point two, the fourteenth play are off the board. I think makes that makes sense as the back end of the first round player, as long as he is with the Colorado Rockies going one pick a head of Freddy Freeman. Everybody else in the first round Long Soto, Trevor Story, Alex Bregman, Trey Turner, Lindor those are the five hitters just ahead of him.

They all contribute something in stolen basis, well, not great. They might give you eight to ten stolen basis. A few of those guys Lindor will give you twenty. Trey Turner will give you forty. Um. Those they all contribute something in stolen bases. Nolan Ardado does not. He's gonna give you two to three stolen bases. Now realize I said, as long as he is in Colorado, this is a

fair place for him to go. He's a legit four category contributor, thirty five to forty home runs, gonna hit around three hundred, gonna give you close to one runs over a hundred RDIs. He's a four category stud. There's no doubt about it, as long as he's in Colorado.

Greg And the reason I say that is because you look at his career, much like Larry Walker and a few other Rockies that were former Rockies that will talk about his home road splits career at home three batting average three eight on base six fifteen slug a p s on the road two sixty five three three or seventy six A seven ninety nine o ps, his babbit goes from three seven at home to to seventy six on the road. Is is o to ninety at home on the road to eleven waited runs created plus one

thirty at home one oh nine on the road. To put that in perspective, Greg last year, two players had an exact two eleven isolated power. Those players were Paul Deyong and Corey Siver. That's basically Nolan Arronado on the road. Two players had a one nine waited runs created plus in twenty nine, Eduardo Escobar and fran Bill Reis. That's

basically who Nolan Arronado is on the road. Now. If he were to be traded somewhere else, let's just say St. Louis, for example, more of a neutral ballpark, maybe geared more towards pitching slightly. I don't think that he would just be a seven S player. I mean players play better at home, and obviously they played better in course field. I think he would probably settle in somewhere around in eight seventy five p S player, which is a very

good player. That's very clearly a second round player in fantasy baseball, maybe even a third round player if we're being honest, just if I had to project the stat line if he's if he ends up with St. Louis, I'll say to seventy five thirty two to thirty four home runs, probably close to under RB I still less than runs, but obviously you're gonna lose about twenty to twenty five points off the batting average and let's say five to seven home runs. That's a that's a second

round player. I think it's a very fair second round player. Who would you rather have he gets traded? No? One, never, not No. Aaron Judge still known Eronado just because Aaron Judge has issues with health and I don't I don't know that they're going to go away. And understand, his first year as a rookie was kind of fluke. He got hit in the hand, he broke a bone. But we spoke a lot about this with Virginia Zakus of

inside injuries last year. And when it comes to Judge and when it comes to Stay, and these guys are freak athletes. They're huge, They're very muscular human beings. I don't know that baseball players are supposed to be built like that. Greg And until one of Stanton or Judge shows me again, that they can play over a hundred and fifty games, let's even say a hundred forty games. I'm gonna I'm gonna assume that they play under that.

I just don't know that someone who's built like that is supposed to play baseball every single day throughout the course of six months. And I think that they'll always kind of have a propensity for injuries there. So for me, I'd lean with Aeronado, but I think you're in the right range. I think he would probably drop down into that late second round range, And I think that makes

sense if you want to talk about just at the position. Sure, the question that you ask yourself is who would you rather have if you were traded, Rafael Dever's or nol Eronado So as somebody that and you were talking about this before downstairs, about Trevor Bower as someone that's been burned by Raffil Devers before a couple of years ago. Yeah, see, what he did last year was extremely strimely frustrating. I'm right there with together. What do you do it again?

Or do you take war of what you think is a short thing? And what is no Eronado a short thing? If he's not in course fields. Maybe Raffie Devers at Alex Court, Alex Court cheating behind him not I'm not not even realib definitely, but I think that would be a fair question, right like Raffie Devers versus No One Aera, No, it's a fair question. I think that that's the range that Aeronado would drop too, if you were traded. Right now, Devers is ADP. So you think that much of his

value just comes from Colorado? For sure, there's no doubt about it. I just laid out the homewoad. I understand. So Raffie Devers is going to pick twenty three right now. Aaron Judge is going to pick twenty nine. If you think Aaron o versus Judge is a fair question, Devers is going six spots ahead of Aaron Judge right now. Judge, of course, you do all blue and white, some more names. No One, Arnado, Fernando Tatis right now, right now, you have to do Arnando. Don't be so sure. Come on,

Fatis is rising up, drapping what I would do. You're saying your show, what do you doing? Sin his team point team point too. I see it right now. If you told me No One Arnado is playing this entire season in Colorado, I would take him over Fernando. What if he's playing his entire season in St. Louis, I

would take tis. Well. He was just amazing, Greg. He took the lead by storm last year as in his first taste in the Mlbreg's like, hold on a second, let me look at the Fernando Tatis here, Because how good was Fernando Tatis Jr? Really? I mean, Greg, That's what I'm trying to figure out. He's pretty damn good. He goes three seventeen with a nine six o PSS A rookie played eighty four games, for sure, we definitely

care about that. Twenty two home runs and sixteen stolen basis with a hundred and sixteen runs scored in right around half a season. Excellent. You're not gonna do the thing where you're, oh, well, if you multiplied this by two, he's gonna hit forty four home runs and steal thirty two bases. And he's not gonna do that. But I'll give you some projections. He's just came out today. Fantastic.

The A t C projection. Who's seventy four twenty nine home runs, four runs scored, twenty four stolen bases for Bernando Tatis, which is not It's not really far off from Trevor story, who is a bona fied first round pick. More's more runs. Now, he's gonna hit more home runs, give you more r bis runs are similar, stolen bases are a little bit higher for Tatis, similar batting average, so it's not far off if he should go a little bit behind Trevor's story based on those projections bad

that it was crazy for sure. There's no doubt about franks out a lot at three seventeen. He's not gonna three seventeen. I guess the second round. I guess for now because he's the second round pick. Because it reminds, you know, what reminds me of the rising of Starling Martein when he was doing this couple years ago, and starring Bartein was always the SECD round back. That's where

that's like what I translate for not to tease store. Yeah, Like I would say a fair projection for Tatis is to seventy close to thirty home runs five steals, like a thirty player with a two seventy batting average that probably scored close to a hundred runs. That's close to a first round pick, if not a first round pick. Interesting, Yep, it's good to know learning learning. Greg's learning, he's jumping in.

Got a late start this year, you know it's not really late start happen yet, I mean great two years ago you're looking at Tyler Chatwin. Was how did I do that year? I don't know. I was your twenty seventeen Was it a profitable year? How did you Nando do in DSc that year? I don't probably poorly if I know not, No not trained you for my chat. That was fun. You did do that, I think with the King, Yeah, that was cool. Twenty nine team was was not good. He was a profitable year for Greg.

Seventeen didn't I don't really do want you, I don't think. Yeah, twenty nine team probably wasn't a great year for you, considering you stopped helping me do waiver wire bids for the final three months of the season. He was very bad. It was bad team, but he was, but he was very very bad. It seems like you have more faith in No One Arnado if he were to be traded an Eronado guy, I am that's a that's a really good word for it. It's it's faith in Nolan Aronado,

and I understand what the splits are. I get it. Is it fair to use that, Like if he's playing eighty one home games in St. Louis, it's not as the same as playing with Dodger Stadium or playing them or even in Miller Park, the opposite end of it, right, Like, that's why I didn't just give him his road splits, right, his road openst in his career se I think he'll still be like a sevent ops play and and you were and you were fair with that, right, Like I'm not.

Faith is a really good word because at just twenty nine years old in April now, I was still in the prime of his career. I think he's a crazy to think that he's going to hit forty home runs away from course, not playing all those games Corse Field. Maybe that's probably crazy. That's probably crazy. I don't think it's crazy to say at thirty, right, that that's not crazy.

For what it's worth, Greg has expected batting average consistently has been below to eighty to seventy one expected batting average in his career to actual batting average in his career. That's the coors field. That's an inflated babbit and coors field that's an issue. Yeah, that's a major. So that's why you know, when I gave my realistic projection for Eronado potentially in a Cardinals uniform, he's probably a two sew. A lot of people said anything about DJ which doesn't

hurt your batting average in Rhodo. That's she's not. No, you want to be, but he's just not a borderline fors round back then, No, he's not. He's like the mid a late second rounder. Yeah, well theseus you're not are out a go tomorrow for you steal in the second round right now, Greg J. D. Martinos, all right, we talked about this Roady Yeah, all right. Heal Mayhew and Will counted him out when he went left Colorado,

but he was better than ever last year. We'll try to figure out why next NFL season is now upon us.

That's a better st where you think you're going? Bavi it? Sorry, this is crazy. So he's my number? Can we please suck suck may Man? He used to may you left Colorado last year as a thirty year old player, and he goes over to go over to the Yankees. You didn't know it's playing

time you do. The ballpark was good, obviously not as good as Colorado? What could you? May you do well? Last year he was in arguably the Yankees m d P six whole runs, hundred and nine runs scored, a hundred and two ribs, stole gold bases, batting three seven The Babbitt was around three fifty. He has done that before. He was fantastic last year the New York Yankees. The question that all fantasy owners have, any Yankee fans like, is Kenny do it again? What's your answer to that?

I don't think that he'll be able to do what he did last year. I think that that's very clearly gonna end up being a career year for him by all accounts. You know, you put it next to any season he's ever had. The power is not going to be there. Home runs, a hundred nine runs scored, The runs very clearly could be over one hundred. I really do believe that. But one two r bis. I mean, this guy was a machine. They called him the Machine.

The Yankees actually gave him the nickname the Machine because with runners in scoring position, runners in scoring position with two outs, he was unstoppable. He was amazing. I don't know that that's going to happen again. Expecting anywhere close to a hundred RBIs as a leadoff hitter, that seems like fools gold. So the projections that I see seventy five r bis even as a leadoff hitter, that's a lot. But in the Yankees line up, he should be able to do that. Seventy a d r bis, I think

that's fair. The batting average. Look, you mentioned he's done this before, Greg, there was another year with Colorado back in sixteen where he hit three forty eight. He hit three twenty seven last year. Is that completely out of the realm of possibility? I don't think so. I wouldn't project it personally, but I do think he's gonna hit over three hundred. I think he can hit, you know,

anywhere from three ten to three fifteen. You know, last year, you look at his stack cast numbers, he was amazing. His egg velocity nine second percentile. His expected batting average was in the percentile. So he did things a little bit differently last year. He hit the ball extremely hard. He raised his launch angle a little bit. It was the highest UH six point seven average degrees a launch angle last year was the highest of his career as

well highest expected slugging percentage of his career. Even with his batting average being three seven, the expected batting average was three twenty two. So there's really not a lot that says that Mayhew is going to regress all of that much graz is, but he is going to I

think so. I think it's kind of collins. I don't think the I think they're going to change the ball, like no one knows for sure what that effect is going to have, but the effect that it would have is on someone like la Mayhew from a power perspective,

you know, him hitting twenty six home runs. He never had more than fifteen ever before in his career, So I would say he's probably gonna hit fifteen eighteen home runs this year, score over a hundred runs, hit over three hundred seventy to a d R BIS, and give you a handful of stolen basis. That's a very good basis. That's a very good player. Is a DP right now

sits at sixty five. So if you're in a twelve team league, that's in the sixth round, if you're in a fifteen team or that's in the early fifth round of a draft, it seems like pretty good value. It seems fair. It seems fair to me. He provides categories that are often overlooked. He's an elite run scorer, he's elite at batting average. He's not going to completely kill you in home runs and r BIS. The problem with the batting average contributors that you'll find later on in

Rohoto drafts is they don't do anything else. It's gonna be guys that hit over three hundred, but it's like Luisa Rayas, who's gonna give you a ten home runs and he's not. He's gonna give you a maybe fifty r v I. You know. So the thing with le Mayhew is elite runs, elite batting average doesn't completely kill you in the other spots. Base I think you also appreciate the position eligibility second this year for second and third. Yeah,

that's a great point. If you play in a you know, one of these draft in whole leagues like a Draft Champions League or even a Best Ball draft, the Best Ball drafts, they they pick your position before, and he's a second baseman in Fantrack's Best Ball drafts. But in the draft and hold leagues, having that versatility is great first, second,

and third. So you're right about that. What I've noticed so far is first and second base are really not all that deep this year, especially second base, third beast. Third base is way deep. We mentioned that when we previewed Josh Donaldson signing with the with the Minnesota Twins. So all in all, le Mayhew returned what second third round value last year. He was a top four second baseman in both points leagues and roto leagues last year. I think he's a good value. I think he's a

fair value. Maybe not, you know, a steal by any means, but I think where he's going is fair. It makes sense, it seems right. So the other guy is going in his area according to the NFBC. At the moment, he's a mostly leagues or right behind him, Matt Olson. I do love med Olson. Greg. You know that they're different players, right, You're gonna you have to know what you want at that point in the draft. Victor Roles, people will never quit robot anyways, young Mr. People think robots can have that.

March totally understand it. Mr RB I granted at himself, Anthony Rizzo, Oh my goodness, why are people still doing this? Man? You get jose A Bravery twenty picks later. He said this last year too. Last year he said, you get later Paul gold Schmidt. I like the value on Goldie. Who'd rather have again? It comes down to what you need. You know, Goldie at this point doesn't really give you a much batting average. He's gonna give he's gonna be a two sixty hitters, but he's close to a Matt

Olsen type player. He's gonna give you power. He's gonna give you he's gonna give you the home runs, he's gonna give you RBIs. He's gonna give you how scored something like that? How many homewwers these fishes last old gold Schmidt and that was in a juice ball season, you know seven. So I don't mind gold Schmidt. Fine, And it comes down to what you need, and I'm saying I don't know that it does. I would probably just like Mayhew still might be the choice. Just prefer

That's what I'm saying. Last one I want to give you behind him is to you on Moncada. I can see wanting mon Malkada had the highest bat of than old baseball last year. He did you have three fiftn his strikeouts? He cut down his strikeouts last year. But the thing is so with Mankata. He brings massive proces pick pedigree that may you never had. Of course, so like this might just be like the natural progression five

years old in May, it would it surprise you. The batting average is gonna come down, right, He's not gonna lead the lead last year. So even if that comes down to like to eight to ninety, still could have thirty home runs, fifteen stolen bases something like that. At of Moncada, he's only getting better, I can I can see making the case for Moncada over dj Lmayhew. So

last year played a hundred and thirty games. This year he's projected to play anywhere bet similar amount of home runs, similar amount of r VA, highest run scoring and stole in vases. The average is significantly worse. Right, the average goes from the three fifteen last year's to mo like a six five hit. That's what they haven't projected for was the k percentage out last year from anata twenty seven and a half. What was it the year before

thirty three point four? All right, so look if he cuts, if he cuts that again a lot, not cut it that much, but he drops it to percent will say this he walked last last year too, he walked ten percent at the time, walked just seven percent at the time. It's nine okay, so he was more What that tells me is he was he was more aggressive at swinging at pitches in the st inside the strike zone, so

he wasn't as passive in terms of taking walks. That's fine. Look, if that's gonna help with the batting average and help him, you know, mature and and become that player that we all expected Moncata to be, then sure he can. You know, if he stays around a seven eight percent walk, great, that's fine. Used to Lee, I do, I feel this is probably the closest one. I agree. I totally agree. I feel safer with le Mayhew, no doubt about it. Yeah,

definitely a safer player than Moncada. Marcada has more upset so let may you Anyway, The point is may he leaves Colorado and has a career year, so before that, I'm sorry they missed this. His home road splits while in Colorado, like well, a member of the eight is for his career, we could just say making his career. Before he joined the Yankees last year, he was in

course field hitter eight thirty or ops. This was d G. Le Mayhew in his career in general, So this isn't just I couldn't extrapolate just his road splits without before he joined the Yankees, so just his career in general. He was a three O two hitter, so from three to three o two from eight thirty four to seven seventy six for ga okay, And obviously isn't he had a career in Yankee Stadium and it was a juice ball. It's a good environment still to hit in Yankee Stadium,

better than Bush? Is this the bush the Cardinals? I think it is new Bush maybe is called the New Bush? Maybe, but it's a better environment to hit. And then you know, if Eronado were to join St. Louis, uh, And I mean both are really good line it's with the Yankees line up is better than the Cardinals. I had Matt Holiday as another so I was about bringing that up. So we talked about the Cardinals a lot. We talked about players leaving Colorado in the middle of their careers

that howid he did right? Traded to Oakland, the traded St. Louis and that's kind of where he spent the majority of the second half of his career with the St. Louis Cardinals now frank Um. When Holiday left, he's in the prime of his career are his flits, So from two thousand four to two thousand and eight he was a three nineteen, three eight six, five fifty two hitter his career in corps field three sixty batting average a

thousand and eight two o ps. His career in general to hitter so from three sixty nine o ps was eight eighty nine. So from one thousand eighty two to eighty nine o p s in the years just after he left course Field from two thousand nine to two thousand thirteen, this is a five year sample where he

was still in the prime of his career. He hit three oh four, three eight, eight, five twelve UM and in corpse field from two thousand four to two thousand and eight while with the Rockies he had a three fifty three battit That went to three thirty three when he was with the Cardinals, so dropped by twenty points. Is I went from two thirty three to two oh eight,

so that lowered by twenty five points. Uh. He was actually a better hitter overall, just in terms of weighted runs created plus one thirty three with Colorado one with the Cardinals better better lineup probably in his time, I would say those Cardinals, that's interesting. But what I'm taking away, he's in most cases it maybe notwithstanding the average is gonna drop Friaronada. The average is clearly gonna joke out about it. How are will we'll drop? But not like significantly.

I don't think it will be a combination of the juice ball dropping and I think it'll be like and certainly leaving Colorado playing all those games, so they'll still be around because they're on forty last years or forty every year, will be closer to the thirty thirty five range than forty. Realistically with with a lesser average, I think rb eisil s will be there. I agree with you that the runs go the runs go lower, and I agree that you know he's still never gonna steal

basis And it's not who Nolan Arroo or is. You don't get points for being the best third basement in the game. It's not a thing in fantasy baseball. I do believe that errors should be a category. I stand by that. Um, I get it. I've talked to you off known Ronado. That was the whole point of this show. Only he gets traded, usually trading them all in. Oh,

for sure. I agree with you. Like I said, if he stays in Colorado, he's in Colorado from day one, and that doesn't mean it's gonna end the year from day one to day five, day one of the season opening day, then he should still be a late first round pick. Yeah. I believe that. Yeah, Okay, I think I'm on the same page again. Desonating by the way I pulled up was full his road split in general

to some of these two verses. Three thirty one at home counting the Yankee year interesting, the whole runs, which is I'm more interesting than ever forty home runs in Colorado slash Ky Stadium thirty five pretty similar when I was all sudden down, which I think it was really interesting. It's the average you've pointed out, as it makes sense. Three questions in three minutes. Next NFL season is now apatos, so you can be going the eighth person away one

So if no one guess, if no one Arnato gets trained, and that's assumed they don't mend their fences and whatnot, and I'll just do their thing. Who is this going to affect most from a fantasy baseball perspective in Colorado? Like obviously

Trevor's story is the first round pick Charlie Blackman. I don't even know where he's going this year, but I haven't done any researcher. Charlie Blackman obviously a third fourth round pick, which seems like a good value if Aeronauto. There all, there's a research on him. But what does this affect the most in Colorado? So I'll give you two that it affects negatively, and I'll give you one that affects positively. Obviously this is Garrett Hanson and all

over the no yea. So Trevor Story and Charlie Blackman undoubtedly would you know, be affected most negatively by Nolan Arronado. Actually, as of now, I know that you love roster resource, Greig Story leading off, Charlie Blackman batting clean up. Now, I know black Men isn't the player that he used to be, but I still imagine that Charlie Blackman is gonna lead off for this team, and Trevor Story is gonna hit in the middle of the lineup if there's

no one in Arronado. Charlie Blackman consistently over one runs scored every single year. He's still going to be a good run scorer, but maybe not as elite as he has been in years past. Saronado is not the black thing is crazy. It's like, all right, black is on a first round pick anymore. He's not a second und pick anymore. He's a run like in RhoD of leaves where runs are like Honda gononere hundred runs every year. It's thirty runs every year. The averages around three hundred

every year. This is good. He's just he's really frustrating to own in the head to head league, Like, if you need consistency, I wouldn't own him in that format. You could take him in ronto, that's perfectly fine. But even like in his home road splits are even more drastic. So it's so annoying because even throughout the season, like you almost don't want to play black Man when he's on the road ever, and that's like your third round pick.

It's kind of frustrating. Probably not, we'll deep dive, we'll talk about it, Craig. But Trevor story. Obviously, you know, if he's batting in the middle of that line up, there's no erronado, not as uh, not as many RBI opportunities, not as many opportunities to drive batters in. And then the person that would affect positively the most is Garrett Hampson, who you know, then they could put Ryan mcman over at third base, and they could put Garrett Hampson at second.

He could play every single day. People still think that he has that bat, he could steal some bases. He has some upside from a fantasy baseball perspective. All right, tomorrow is Nion Williams's back. We'll tell you about it. Wager walks up next for Frank. I'm Greg. We'll do it all go tomorrow. We hope m
