Who Should You Pick At #12?

thirty four. This is the BFFs. He is Frank Stamford. I am Greg Sauceman. Franky was happening? Man? We almost had an extended version there. I felt like you were you're going for about twenty seconds there. I've funger than usual? Was it? I don't know? Was it? Happy Friday? Greg? How you doing, buddy? How did you sleep last night? I slept really, I slept really well. Oh no, I had oh I remember it now. So I had this dream and I was like, I gotta tell yeah, wait still, Frank,

what this dream was about? I could not remember it until right now. We don't know what it was. Of course, your boy and this guy in charge of tot Wars. It sounds like a nightmare for you, not really a dream. All of a sudden, they put whoever runs it, who runs tot Wars. It's a collection of individual jeff Ericson, it was jeff Errickson. Jeff Ericson stepped down and I took over it, and I was like, Frank is gonna love this. So I remember that I was charge tot Wars.

I woke up historical laughing that I was in ar, happy that you were somewhat dreaming about me and in fantasy baseball. I was, that's how far we can today. I woke up. I had the biggest couple of weeks ago. Greg didn't even want to talk baseball, and then he dreaming about it. It would be the first thing you change when it comes to tot Wars. Great everything. What does that mean? Oh, the are is a bunch of fantasy leagues. I would put money in it. The least

should be for money. That's the first thing I would do. I know that cost money to make money, but they should be for money. The experts is it in the industry, claim a pride to do it. Everyone running that person right now? Some of the notions should we make more money? Everybody shown was of Mocia in the news outday. I'm John Wass the Mokia with your BFFs news update. Let's start with the w g C Mexico Championship right now.

Your leader Justin Thomas. He is at three under through round two through eight He's actually at seven under for the tournament. That is a one shot lead on Rory mclroy, who started the day in the lead at six under. He still at six under even through six holes. So that that's your w g C leaderboard Mexico City Round number two. Let's head over to baseball, and we have some spring training action. Top of the first inning, Rangers Royals first spring training game. That is the Cactus League

at Sunrise, Florida. Tomorrow a lot of the other teams get started, but we just have one today and that's just on their way. Top of the first no score between the Rangers and the Royals. Let's head over to the FanDuel Sports book. Let's check out the card for basketball NBA action tonight as we get set for a big slate of NBA action. You have the Cleveland Cavs at the Washington Wizards. Wizards laying six to thirty six

Major League Baseball News you and a Sespenis has not begun sprinting all out according to his manager Louis Rojas, So stay tuned on that.

Sesspitis missed all of last season with hell surgery. See if he makes it full return this season. That is your BFF sports Grade news update. Now back to Gregor frank other sports grade. The Pelicans a five and a half point favoriteccording to what Shaun just said. That's over. At four, we get more injury news now, dude, it's

just think everyone's piling on the Pelicans tonight. This is the problem though, Greg, that I've noticed at least, and we'll get into fantasy baseball, of course, I feel like the Pelicans are somewhat being overvalued with Zion Williamson. Don't get me wrong. I'm very excited about combination being overvalued and Lili, Yeah, for sure. Like Lillard's been ridiculous since the start of the new year. The guy has been

like dropping fifty points like every other game. Basically, it's been awesome points five and a half point dogs at home are Portland, Greag, we got MSG after this, he's still gonna back up the New Orleans Pelicans. I don't know. I'm not allowed to change. You might have to rethink things there. That's a lot of points, man, it's a lot of a lot of points off. That's one thing guarantee. That's an absolutely couldn't reward on that. Let's move into baseball,

and now's the news and headlines on today's show. Let's let's at least bring that up on today's show. Oh, we're gonna have our second edition of Multiple Things here. It will be the second edition of the white Board series with Frank Stanford. We preview picked number one earlier this week on Monday, we go to pick number twelve here to end the week. So we begin and end one to twelve. That's what we'll do later on in

the program. Also here we will get into money in the Bank at Triple Threat Match of pictures and where they're going similar adp s. I don't freak and I feel differently about the players that are involved in today's Money in the Bank contest, So we'll get into that coming out, you know, just about ten minutes from now. Before we do any of that, though, let's get some of the headlines for today, Frank, and that takes us now. It begins us well in St. Louis were Paul gold

Schmidt have a bit of an elbow injury. He says it's not a big deal, He's gonna be fine. I've been down here for Goldschmit. Really started out cold, got hot as the season went on, as he normally does. He's usually a pretty slow starter. Are you in on Paul gold Schmidt here? No, I'm not in on Paul

gold Schmith this upcoming season. Greg. That's why I actually hate to see this news because whenever there's an injury to a player that you weren't in on, that means they're gonna fall down the draft board, and players who were you were you were in on are going to slightly move up the draft board. It was the same thing with a u Henyo Suarez. I wasn't going to be on Suarez at his draft costs before he had.

He has slipped a little bit, so maybe I'll look more into Suarez now, But Paul gold Schmidt is someone that I was not looking at. Greg. The batting average has come way down from where it has been, and then you're just off all Cardinals. You don't want to. I don't think that they're a good team, which is crazy to say, because they're like a great organization obviously, and they always find a way to win like eighty five plus games and they're right in the thick of things.

But I mean, outside of Jack Flaherty, I don't think that they're pitching staff is great. They're trying to make Carlos Martinez a starting pitcher again. They're throwing him back in the rotation. Um, who's their closer right now? Is the Giovanni Diegos. Andrew Miller hasn't been great the past couple of seasons. I don't think the lineup is very good either. Maybe he'll get better once they call up some of these young kids, Dylan Carlson someone they're very

excited about. Paul Goldschman now k percentage up over back to back years. His chase rate was the highest of his career. Last year barrel percentage was down. He had to sixty. Greg, you have to think, oh, well he got unlucky, right, Paul Goldchman normally it's two eighty two nine expected batting average to sixty two. Well, there's stole a lot of bases, right, it's Paul Golchman does no, doesn't steal basis anymore, Greg, So three bases. Where's Paul

Goldchman in your it's first base rankings? That is a fair question. And I'm going to stall while I pull that up for you. Uh, and my first base ranks, I have Paul gold Schmidt at number seven, whereas he's like the fifth starting the fifth, first basement off the board usually after after how you just driving him I don't way lower seven. Should I lower him more? So? I haven't one spot ahead of Josh Bell, But I think Josh Bell has a bunch of question marks too.

Doesn't he rough second half? Well? He acts? The thing is he ended the season really well, like August September. It was like June July brutal, Yeah, very bad, and then auguste care That's that's a good point. But Josh Bell probably a player you want the points leagu right, good plate discipline, watch a lot doubles streaky. Not a good line up either. There in Pittsburgh who got nine? So I have Goldschmidt seven, Josh Bell eight. I have Dtail Mayhew nine. You could argue that he should probably

be higher. Fine, and then I have Max Mounsey at ten. I like Max Moncy wearing Paul Goldchman. Well that's because you played in ob P. For me, he's probably gonna hit like. Max Moncy is great in OBA and Paul Goldschmidt is too. He still walks a lot. But I don't know, man, it's something about Paul Goldschmian. It just seems like one of these years it might just fall completely on his face. Not a lot of protection in the lineup to the RBI. We thought that was last

year for a lot of the year. So you know what's crazy. Hogel Schmid is the eighth first basement off the board, so I guess I'm not really down on him. He said it was fifth a few willmas again. Yeah, and NBC he's the eight first basement off the board. I have him at seven. Maybe I should find a way to move him lower. I don't really want. I just told you how. Move them behind Josh Bell and d G the next next month, all right, talk me into it, alright. Other news and notes from camp. Carlos

Carrasco hurt again, which is frustrating. Not um serious thing like when he battled last year. But he is banking up um and certainly someone you want to see bounced back have a nice spring, not of a good start. No, he's not, and we reported we not. We reported like the BFS are out there on the field watching Carlos Carrasco, but we saw the We're not. That is a factual statement. But the reports yesterday or that he left he was dealing with a leg injury. He was on crutches. It

comes out today that it is a hip issue. It's minor. I saw last night lyde Settler, who competes in a ton of NFBC drafts. He's a great high stakes player, tweeted out that Parlos, Carrasco, and Severino went in around fifteen and sixteen respectively. Round fifteen. Sure I have a shot of calls Carrasco there? Why not? Absolutely? I think there's gonna be some correction. He's gonna about Stecca. Right when do we come back? A couple of news notes.

I want to get to Frank was tweeting out trade Turner, so he wants to reveal when he was tweeting about. And then we'll get into this week's money in the bank contest the ground a lot more on the way. I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire. Dunk on your NBA DFS competition with Daily Rodal dot Com

I need it

mans around. I heard on FT this week you got a big weekend plan. You have no fiance, which means a whole lot of sitting on your couch and drafting. No draft this weekend, Greg, nothing planned yet, but look there's some time to change that. It's time to get in alve getting in a draft. There is no fiance this weekend. She's off to ball bustin. I shipped her up to Boston Grand going out tonight night on the

tap with my brother. He was Johnny Stamfull and Johnny be on his phone looking wrestling backdowns all the night. There's no one thing. He watches a lot of SmackDown. If he does, it's on demand, it's not live. I can tell you that much he loves wrestling. I don't. I don't think he loves it that much. I don't know, man, he really loves wrestling, but I don't really handling his plans on a Friday to watch SmackDown. Johnny Snaffle, Johnny Staffle loves wrestling, dude. You know what, I'm gonna have

him send me a picture of Legitimately. He has two cases in his room of real wrestling belts, the offensive one, like three fifty plus dollar belts, no joke. He asked my parents for them, like every holiday, Birthday, Christmas, he wants a belt. I mean, it's a sick collection. He's like the yellow Intercontinental title. He has the Smoking Skull w w F, the heavy one. He's like it's leather and it's like the real championship. He has like twelve of them lined up in like a glass case. It's

pretty sick. Well, yeah, he loves wrestling, but not on a Friday. He's hanging out with me. We're not watching SmackDown. I'll tell you that. Just go out after SmackDown, well my pre game and watch SmackDown. If that's there, I'm gonna I'm gonna text Well watching some highlights of the Royals and Rangers, Greg who were playing right now. I'm gonna get a text from Frank. I cannot wait. It's gonna be him on the couch looking at Rangers, Royals box scores and Johnny Stanfell screaming at his TV at

Roman Reins. I can't wait for It's gonna be awesome. Alright, you have you tweet about trade Turner at last night? What were you tweeting? Yeah, I just wanted to make it known. I've I saw the report that he might move down in the lineup, he might bet third, and I tweeted this out. In his career, Trade Turner has average one stolen base every twelve plate appearances while batting leadoff. That's a sample over fifteen d plate appearances. While batting

in every other spot in the order. In his career, tray Turner has ever once solen base every nineteen point seven plate appearances, just over five hundred and fifty plate appearances combined in every other spot in the lineup outside of leadoff. So assuming that he gets six d and fifty plate appearances, Greg, I you know, fired up the old calculator app here on the computer. Your times nineteen nineteen point seven. I'm saying this wrong. Take six hundred fifty, Yeah,

divided by nineteen point seven. This is why I'm not I'm not the math guy, and you're projected thirty three stolen bases for Trade Turner. Greg, would you be happy with thirty three stolen bases from Trade Turner if you took him in the first round? I agree, I don't because the power is not enough right and need footy stas from him. The power is not there, like it's not enough for your take. The power went up last year. Sure, I guess there's a chance that it keeps trending up.

I don't know. Maybe it was just juice ball related anywhere. He's only twenty six years old. Everyone's just assuming the juice ball is gone. I tell you, nobody knows it was gone in the postseason for sure. You know where a guy is with him in the auction Yamada. We already went over this key boo him down reserve rounds. It might be able to get him in the reserva. You want to know what it do? You know what his a DP is? Right? No? Wow, he goes late almost him him. I'm with you, so it burnt me

everywhere last year. I'm back. If someone wins a dollar, I'm going to I'm not on three, I'll go to alright. Maybe I'm just saying it's reserved rounds. Come on, Greg, don't even mention the name. Don't even say the initials c K. I don want nobody to know. New underwear brand coming out carder Key Boom, c K BFFs go kill boom. We should make a cologne line harder Key Boom. I like this jokes guy Calvin Klein and my joke. Yes, all right, Greg, you can only be your joke. Greg

can only make Calvin Klein jokes. He's the only one that can ask about crappy players on this. When I bring up some trap, it's like, what about Taoscar Hernandez. When I'm asking Greg about someone relevant, He's like, who's that I've never heard of? That guy you probably name is someone irrelevant. And if I don't know he's irrelevant, that's oh yeah, that's gotta be true, you know that? Um? All right, any more news to notice, you know, Let's do some fun. She's on the fun. It's too Friday.

Let's have some fun. And this week it's time once again to find out who he's Money in the bank. Here comes the money. Here we go money talk, Here comes the money cheating Money in the bank. This week here on the bf F S Frank, let's get right into it. This week, we're facing off again some of the pictures that are going in the third and fourth round. It's Chris Paddock, aur Nolah and Noah's s God No, it's Nderguard Aaronola, two players that were seen as top

twelve pictures probably just a year ago. Chris Paddock, of course alone. Hazy's Lazardo was the hottest name uh Young picture wise that was being drafted last season. Now it's Paddock and Aaronola going in similar spots. Well, now a Synderguard goes about a round later than both of them. Frank, let's start with my guy, Noah Syndergard. He's a player that I believe, despite going last on this list, he's a guy I would want want, I would want most

of my team for me. I'll reveal it right now for me, Noah's Syndergard is Mr Buney in the bank. We'll just get right to the chase while you're at it. When it comes to no Syndergard is extremely frustrating, and we spoke about him with Nick Pollock of Picture List. I forgot the acronym that he uses for him, but basically it was along the lines of Noah Synderguard has all the stuff in the world but doesn't know how

to pitch. Hopefully having Rene Rivera as his dedicated catcher. Well, I actually helped him because last year with Wilson Ramos as his catcher, Noah Syndergard had an ear a over five in games that Wilson Ramos was his catcher. In Noa Syndergard's career, Greg, with Renee Rivera as his catcher, thirty games, a hundred and eighty innings pitch that might be a full season out of Noah Syndergard. Would you

like these numbers? Greg, let me know a two six five e r A. There's no whip here, but sive ar a. How about two hundred and five strikeouts and a hundred eight pitch and he's pitched, could not have any more in He'll say that Renee Rivera is going to be the dedicated catcher for Noah Syndergard this year. But I understand why some people might be out on him, Greg. He tinkers with his pitch makes he relies on his fastball sometimes a little bit too much. He should be

throwing his breaking pitches more. I think he has all the talent in the world. We all know that about Noah Synderguard. They called the guy Thor for a reason. I mean, he's built like an Adonis, and normally I don't usually like that because guys like Aaron Judge and Giancarlos Stanton are hurt all the time. Right, Syndergard has dealt with his own injuries managed just a healthy last year.

You didn't get the performance out of him that you were hoping for, But there is a world, Greg, and I realized that a range of outcomes where he does put it all together, manages to stay healthy with Renee Rivera as his catcher and puts up you know, bow three's e r a a good whip, two hundred strikeouts dred eighty to two endings pitched. That does remain a possibility for Noah Syndergard. Greg, But let's talk a little

bit about some of these other candidates as well. Sure, I mean that everything he just positive, Syndard, other than the way he's built well and the fact that he sucked last year, Greg, how about that? Sure he's stunk well, he got better, He got better, and look, no Arno has been healthier the past couple of years. Like that, you can depend on him for more volume than you

can with Noahs Syndergard. I want to tell you, look at Chris Paddock here three point three three and you're going right in the paddock god Man, I had the notes worthy for Chris Paddock. Greg all Right, Aaron last year one up with a three eight seven a three A two x fit. He was not great. His fastball was the worst of his career. It got smacked around last year, Greg, And we know he has a great curveball. When it comes to Arnold, the command was really out

of whack last year for Aaronola. The walks per nine up over three and a half. You're not used to that. Still got a ton of strikeout, still got a ton of ground balls, but with those walks going up it also we also saw his whip balloon til one to seven uh from eighteen Greg, he had a three three five e r A out of Aaronola, a three to nine x fit over a strikeout per ending two point four walks per nine, really good groundball rate, a one on four whip and a twenty eight percent hard contact

rate last year. The hard contact for Aaronola just has to get back to relying more so on that curveball. The command has to come back for the fastball. Again. He doesn't have a great fastball. It's like he has to use that pitch to set up his secondary pitches. Curveball change up as well. He gotta get back to mixing things up, and he's gotta command his pitch is better. There's no doubt about it when it comes to Noah.

But for me, Greg, the track record for Noah from eighteen is nearly on par with Noah synder Guard, if not better, And he's been able to stay healthier than Synderguard as well. So if he can get back to that picture that he was the four seasons before, then I think nobody can really pay off where he's going right now. As you mentioned, the walks really went up last last year three point five six, very uncharacteristic for him.

Walked per nine. That's almost over a walk, way over a walk more he's ever given up his career per nine eight. Strike has also went up at the first year with real moods. I wonder if that has something to do with it. Could be really just not going anywhere I'm there. The home runs for nine also went up man one point to zero. Juice ball related possibly home on the five ball ratio, also related highest home in the fly ball ratio of his career at seventeen

point four. I don't you mentioned this to me last year, that eighteen if you look at all the numbers for Aaron Nola, always the outlier, and we thought, all right, My response is I really like that last year was we got better. He's never gonna give again. That's not gonna happen. That's the thing, right, So he never is going to do that again. That may have been the year of his career. And the way I responded to you last year as well, he just got better that

that that's it. And you said, well what if he didn't, what if there's just an outlier? And I think it was. I think the picture that you saw last year was a kind of picture that you will see again, at least for Syndergard. The walks or less strike has we're a little bit less as well. The ex fit was

actually exactly the same at three point eight. I think Noah Syndergard has more of an ability to be better than he has better stuff than Aaronoa, there's no doubt about put it together, but more of an injury risk than Aaronola as well, only inning He's no Syndergard pitched last year. It was close to season last year. Yeah, but that's the thing. He's never done it, you know, like all together with a full season of like the production we're used to. You would only do that for

like a hundred and fifty innings. I got welcome back, Frank, give you more on Chris Paddock and he'll tell you who his Mr Money in the bank is. Here we go, Money. I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire. Dunk on your NBA DFS competition with Daily Rodal dot Com

Visit Daily Rodo dot com backslash Dunk to learn more. Blue Here Friday, let's go. Let's break it down, baby. All right, we're going through our Nola and Noah Syndergard.

I've already told everybody my Mr Money in the Bank right there. It's Noah Syndergard. But there is one player left h in the triple threat draft matchup, and that is Chris Padck, the player that actually had the best season in twenty nineteen, better than Aaronola, better than Nowihs Synderguard except for the X fit, which was higher than both of them. Extra for Chris Paddock over four ERA

A at three point three three. He went nine in seven last year, pitching forty innings nine point eight strikeouts per nine under two walks for nine. Very very good. They're the Babbitt was extremely low at two thirty seven, although you know it wasn't really high throughout his minors career. Frank, Chris Paddock is going the earliest out of those three. Does that mean you would draft him the earliest of those three? Well, Greg, you're gonna have to wait and

find out after I'm done analyzing Chris Paddock. You mentioned the e r A and the X fit. The X fit was higher than the e r A a a little bit over for a zero point nine eight whip. I mean, let's not understate that this guy had a sub one whip last year as a rookie, his first season in major League Baseball with the juice all as well, maintained a whip under one case per nine over nine nearly ten at nine point seven nine the walks for nine

under two. The guy has phenomenal command. Sheriff Chris Paddock. Shout out to Matt Modica. Believe he still has Chris Paddock as his Twitter avatar as well. It's how much he loves Chris Paddock. We know how great the command is when it comes to Paddock seventy one first pitch strike percentage. He establishes the strike early in the count as well. Um basically fastball changeup combination last year has

like a Vulcan changeup, they call it. I almost want to choose him just because he uses something called a Vulcan changeup. G sounds awesome. He needs to continue working on the curveball. The only thing about ten and a half percent of the time last year, and it really wasn't a great curveball. But everything we've heard in the off season Greg is that exactly is what he's doing, is he's working on the curveball. He's developing it. He's

called it a quote top shelf curveball. Heading into the season, somebody to pay attention to throughout curveball. But Greg, I really do believe that if this curveball just becomes adequate, it's all over for everybody in the league. I mean, look what he did with just a fastball, changeup combination throws mid nineties. That change up keeps everyone all balance.

And then if he mixes in a curveball that he just uses ten to fifteen percent of the time and it's just a solid curveball, then I do think that you're gonna see the e r A stabilize out, the babbit might go up a little bit, the X fit dropped down, and he's just going to progress as a starting pitcher. I love everything that I saw from last year. Great home roads, was great against both lefties and right e's as well. If I'm projecting him, I think he's given you three five, maybe three six e r A

a hundred and seventy to eighty innings pitched. I really like what I saw at a Chris Paddock last year, and I really like him going into this year. Greg Hey is my money in the bank winner Chris Paddick. Here we go, money talks. You drive Chris Paddock, and you're going to be money in the bank this fantasy baseball season. Greg, I like Aaron Nola, but I worry about the command issues last year, worry about that fastball, and I just worry about No Sindergarten general. Is he

ever going to put it all together? I don't mind any of these players, in fact, I like all of them. But if we're splitting hairs and choosing the player who is going to return the most money on his investment, that's going to be Chris Pattick. We'll see obviously rookie last season. As you mentioned, Frankie, will you get better? Well, that's the question we're gonna have to ask ourselves here, uh during draft Monk for me, don't think no Synderguard,

especially because you're getting him around later. All right, And with that, it is now time for the continuation of Frank's White Boys series. Let you know how this works. Basically, Frank is going to take a pick once a week twice a week, depending on what we got going on, and he's going to draft three rounds with this pick, both in a rhodo format as well as a head to head format, and he wants you to get an idea of the players that will be there and how

to build your team. The idea here is for you ultimately to get an understanding of a what pick that you want in the draft and be well, what the team looked like here. So we're gonna get started in just a few moments. I know Frank's getting ready over there, so let's make sure the camera next to Frank is facing him so he's ready to rock here and we will get right it'll it'll be this one here, So I'll move over there. We'll get right into it. Follow me, everybody, Alex,

follow me over here. There we go. Let's get into this here. It is the money in the bank cop contest here Chris Paddock. Frank's winner for me, the clear champion Frank was Noah Syndergarden. He's the guy who's going to have the best year and he's costing you the least at the moment. We did number one earlier in the week for the white Board series. Number one overall pick was Ronald Kunia and then he followed up with a couple of pictures different pictures, which was interesting. Uh. There,

that was number one overall. Now we go to the other side. We started with one, and now we move on to number twelve. Sean, are we ready to go with alright? So with that we throw it over to Frank Sample with the white board series. Thanks Greg, and I had a lot of fun earlier in the week doing the number one pick, but we gotta go to the back end of the draft with the number twelve pick. Of course, we're doing this for twelve team leagues. I know a lot of people play in the NFBC and

they play in fifteen team leagues. I participate in a ton of them myself, but most people play in twelve team leagues. So that's what we're going to attack today, the last pick of the first round if you play

in a twelve team league. Again, well, we did this during the the fantasy football season, and we would pick two different teams up against each other and then ask you which one you liked more at the end of the white board today, like we did with the number one pick, we're gonna do it from a Rhodo perspective, and we're also going to do it from a head to head points perspective, and I'll kind of break down why there are differences in the players that we are

going to draft. So reg you know, that I like pitching. You know that I like to get the and that's exactly what we're going to do. Frankly on both sides. A little foreshadowing here, but with the twelve pick, the first pick, if you have last pick, your number one pick if you have the last pick, is Justin Verlander.

No surprise here, Greg, and I guess there's a chance he could be drafted by then, but according to a DP, he is available here with the twelfth pick, I want to get a starting pitcher because by the time it comes back to in the third fourth round range, you're gonna be looking at someone like Patrick Corbyn, Luis Castile. Those guys are fine and you can still build a pitching stuff around them. I would just feel better personally if I have one of those horses that anchor in

a Justin Verlander. I'm not worried about Verlander when it comes to the age. When it comes to the cheating scandal, Greg, this guy has had a sub one whip in each of the past two seasons while with the Houston Astros, and he just continues to get better. I mean, the guy is like a fine one right now in terms of real life baseball Fantasy baseball. He's likely going to give you a sub three whip. He's gonna get to a lot of wins. He's been extremely durable, going over

two endings repeatedly in his career. I'm gonna take Justin Verlander with my first of two picks here at the back end of the first round. If you have the twelve pick in a twelve team league, starting off the second round on the wheel here, you know, I like to get stolen basis to Greg, I like to get someone who can do it all. Who is someone who can do it all that's going at this point in the draft. Well, it could have been Fernando Tatis Jr.

But it's not Fernando Tatis Jr. It's Jose Ramirez. We're just hoping that Jose Ramirez is fine after you got hit by a pitch in spring training the other day. And I think this is a great way to start off your draft because you give yourself a base with starting pitching and Josi Ramirez. Well, he might not be a five category contributor because I don't know how great the batting average is gonna be. I probably project him for a two seventy to two seventy five batting average.

It doesn't hurt your average, but he's gonna give you stolen basis. I'm midst everything that was happening last year. I understand he was a letdown for a lot of people earlier on in the season, wound up, you know, pulling it all together, and still had over twenty home runs, over twenty stolen basis. He was still giving you speed all the while. Second half of the season, you look

at the numbers and he stopped lifting the ball. He got to home run happy, goes back to the second half of where he was just trying to hit too many home runs. He was lifting the ball too much. He got back to his normal approach, hitting line drives, pulling the ball, and naturally the ball started to go out of the ballpark again. He didn't have to try to do anything differently, just be who you are, Joseer Mires,

and I think he's gonna do that again this upcoming season. Greg, I would tab him for home runs to thirty stolen bases, good counting stats and a solid batting average at eighty. Do you have a problem, Greg, with either one of Justin Verlander or whose are Mirons don't have a problem with either. Ranthom My question was the suicidal you put Justin Burlander on the board. Was there no thought given

a Max Scherzer in this spot? Well, I think it's a fair a question, right, because if Max Scherzer is healthy, which is the biggest question, Uh, he could be better than Justin Verlander on a per star basis. But I think that they're close enough Greg that I will take the picture who has been more durable. We are not worried about any back or neck issues even in the World Series, sure as it was dealing with that issue missed some time throughout the regular season last year as well.

So I think they're close enough on a per game basis. Where give me the guy who is healthier, who has been more durable, and that is Justin Verlander. Was there any thought, let's throw it out there, of taking Verlander and Max schers are back to back. It's thirteen in a roto draft. I wouldn't do it. Maybe in the head to head points league, it's something that I would

look into it. Yes, well you are about to find out right about that, but I would not go with two starting pitchers there at the back end of the first round. I want to get something offensively for you know, in my five by five leagues, you can pump the offensive categories, and especially if you get someone I can give you those stolen bases without hurting you any where else. That's what I would want to do with Jose Ra Mirrors.

There are a lot of great hitters in that range, Alex Bregman, but he doesn't give you anything and stolen basis So for me, I'm going to opt for someone who do you taking Ramrors over? I would take Ramirez over Bregman and no one Arronado. He's my number one third base because there is no speed of course, really comes to Ronado and when it comes to Bregman. I get it. Man, I think I think it makes sense.

It's funny because I'm really proud of you. You're going against your gut, which is this guy killed me last year. I can't do it again, and here you are jumping right back in Josieerra Mirrors. I agree with it. I'm buying the second half is the real josieer Mirrors because we saw it so often the the year prior to the year before that first half an aberration. It'll be fine. I like Josier Mirrors. It's a great starts of the team. Man, I can't start my team with Justin Verlander and Josie

ra mirrors or Max Scherzer and Josie Ramirez. Feel really good about myself. I like that, Frankie. Yeah, absolutely, Gregg, and we'll talk more about the head to head points side of things we come back after the break. Obviously here again on the rural side. Number twelve pick started team with Justin Verlander and Josie Era mirrs. It's pretty good start, Gregor, all right, let's take a break. When we come back, we're gonna get into the head to

head side. As Frankie mentioned, we'll find out who he's taking at the turn there and then we'll do the turn after that on both sides. To wrap up the show, really coast coast up next to the ground or BFFs all the way. I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

What's going on? You're wrapping up the show? You have to really coast to coast coming your way next, Scotty Evase with Mike Carver regularly, here be a fun night as we get you ready for a fury while they're obviously a game on the show yesterday. Uh, Frank, we go back over to you in the Rhodo side of things. You let off with Justin Burlander and Jose Ramirez. Let's move on the head to head side of things, shall we. Yeah, let's move over to the head to head points side

of things again. I play in two head to head points leagues. Let's make it three now that I have joined out wards. But my longest standing trying what what greet you? Uh, my longest standing home league is a head to head points league. So I actually do really really enjoy this format. And I stressed with the first overall pick taking Garrett Cole, because you need starting pitching. It is so valuable in a head to head points league.

Depending on how your points league is set up. Again, in the league that I play, we get a point per out. You get I would make three points per ending pitched. You get bonuses for quality starts for wins, half a point for strike out as well, and you lose points for things like hits and and earned runs as well. But pictures typically get more points in this format. So you gotta get at least one, maybe two. I'll

let you know in a second. If Justin Verlander is there, he might be gone because pitching gets pulled up the board in a head to head point league. According to a DP, Verlander is going to be there. So for today's exercise, I will take Justin Verlander. But if he were gone, I've got to get at least one starting pitcher here. Whether it's Walker Bueller, whether it's Max Scherzer. You cannot escape either of your first two picks in a head to head points league without a starting picture.

I cannot stress that enough. So for all the reasons I said, you're taking Justin Verlander on this side, you will also take Justin Verlander in the head to head points league because of the volume, the endings, pitch to strike outs, equality starts, the wins, everything that Justin Verlander does. We're gonna take a second picture. No, we are not going to take a second onon picture because you can actually get a really good one or two later on at the three four turns, So we'll wait a little

bit on that. I want to anchor my team with another hitter here as well. I am not going to take Jose Ramirez, while he is also pretty good points league because he has a good point discipline, he doesn't strike out, he hits a lot of doubles. I'm gonna take Alex Bregman here at the overall pick, with the second round pick of the of the number twelve pick in this draft. And Alex Bregman in a points league was the number one hitter last year. He hits a

ton of doubles. He had more walks than strikeouts last year. If you worry about the cheating incident when it comes to Alex Bregman and you're worried about his performance falling off, first of all, you probably shouldn't, but if you do, maybe just go in a different direction, I would take a hitter here still one of Jose Ramirez or A Bregman or Nolan Arronado. For me, Alex Bregman is the hitter you should take in a head to head points league.

He was the number one hitter and points leagues last year. Greg, even if he regresses a little bit, I still think he's going to be really good. So in Rhodo ball team league, last pick Dustin Verlander and Jose Ramirez on the Rhodo side, and head to head points league, Justin Verlander and Alex Bregman. Greg, is that all right with you? It's funny because we went from Hoosier like you talked me a Hosier mirrors on the other side. Then he went to Alex Bregman here. Of course, you never want

to hit her in points leads last year. I don't know what about the steels, but we've talked so much about this early past couple of weeks. How this kind of in a head to head categories leage you can put steals, right, you don't, you just don't need it.

Points leaves kind of the same thing. You don't really work fantasy points, so right, It's not like in fantasy basketball, where like blocks are were a lot of points, it steals are a lot of points in fantasy basketball, fantasy baseball well in two points, and they're so rare anyway that you can get by without them. I'm cool with Alex Bregman. I also told you earlier in draft season.

I'm an only Houranado guy, but diving in a little bit deeper here, Bregman is a better player and the best player here at third base in points lead over No l Aronado. As much as that hurts me to say, I agree with that, Frank, I'm cool with it, all right. So Justin Berlandard Alex Bregman in the head to head points league. Coming back over here in Rhodo, you have the last pick in the draft. At the three four turn. You're looking at picks thirty six and thirty seven. Normally

I only set up your first three picks. I'm feeling a little generous here today on a Friday, we'll do the thirty six and thirty seven overall pick. If you play in a roto league, Greg, I love the base of stats that Justin Verlander gives you so much that I am not going to take a second starting pitcher at the three four turn, because at the five six turn later on I pick sixty, you get someone like Chris Paddick or no A synder Guard or Aaronola or Zak Granky, And I don't mind any of those pictures

as my second starting pitcher in a Roto league. So I'm going to double down on hitting here and I'm gonna get a few players that I think can contribute across the board. So let's start this off with pick thirty six. We're gonna take Austin Meadows of the Tampa Bay Rays, someone who can do a little bit of everything. We saw last year the breakout season from Meadows. There was a lull in the middle there, but ended up

finishing out strong. That he's someone who can hit to eight plus thirty home runs, maybe even more power than that. It doesn't hurt you anywhere, and the fifteen so on basis performed well against left handed pitching last year, even as a left handed batter. Really like to see that out of Austin Meadows. He just has to stay healthy,

something that you do worry about with Meadows. He did have some injuries earlier in his minor league career, but stayed healthy for the most part last year with the Tampa Bay Rays. We're gonna double down on hitters here, Gregg and I mentioned, I want to get someone who could do it all, and to me, that is Javier bayas Man. I'm gonna take Austin Meadows and Javier Bias. Pair these two guys together. I actually think that they're pretty similar players in terms of what they're going to

give you. They're not similar in terms of plate discipline. Nobody is like Javier Bias. He is one of a kind. He swings and misses a lot. He doesn't walk. His plate discipline is terrible. I tried to doubt him in the past and he made me look completely foolish. Now you're getting him in the third fourth round. The guy was a borderline first round pick last year. Greg He's been extremely consistent between a two seventy and two ninety batting average each of the past three seasons. He gives

you thirty home runs, good counting SATs. Say what you will about the Chicago Cubs, their lineup is still pretty damn good. There was a report lier today Javier Bias the thumb injury from last year is behind him. He's fully healthy, he's good to go. I think he gives you twelve to fifteen stolen bass. I think both of these guys, Greg, Greg give you a little bit of everything. I don't mind the starting pitchers that you can get a little bit later on at the five six turn,

at the seven eight turn. And because of that, I'm gonna double down on hitters here, Borlander, Jose Miris, Austin Meadows, Javier Bias, any issues. Yeah, because in the past you have said the third fourth round is your sweet spot for pitching, right, use a lot of guys you really like here. And we talked about it before, Chris Paddock,

that was Syndergaard, Aaron Nola, Massa hero to not. I'm sorry you, Darvish, h Luisa Varrino was in this cruise, that Greggy, all those guys, that's time it gets back. He gone, He's gone. But all those guys, by the time is your pick again in the fifth round, they're probably gone. Probably not Greg really going to the NBC A d P. Yeah, I pick sixty. They're gonna be

there in rotal leagues. Okay, even someone like Zach Grenky, if you know he could wait a little bit but yeah, I mean according to the ADA, I think you can get someone like Paddick. You know. The thing is, I show you a lot of my draft boards, Greg, that are fifteen team draft. That's why you see Paddock and

and Um Synderguard and Darvish and all these guys. They go in the fourth round in a fifteen team round, but in a twelve teamer they can last till the end of the fifth round the beginning of the six So you can actually grab one of those guys a little bit later. The pictures you would be looking at here Luis Castillo, Patrick Corbyn, those pictures are fine, but I don't really think that they're that dissimilar from pictures

you can get later on. I'm gonna take the hitters and really kind of build out my base of hitting stats. I know, how any bias is your guy? Obviously have to give an outfielder, given that many rotal leaves played with five outfields, so you do you need ones one here In the first four rounds, Austin Meadows had this

breakout campaign for Kevin Bay. Let's see if you stay healthy here in Frank's go back to you and figure out who we're wrapping up our head to head team with Okay, so I mentioned on this side we can wait on starting pitching head to head points, We're not gonna wait on starting pitching. You have to grab another one here, just because I want someone who is going to give a lot of endings, who's going to give me volume, someone who is dependable, and I do think

that that is Patrick Corbin. Again, He's gone to under endings pitch each of the past two seasons, proven himself wipe out Slider, one of the best in the game. The walks went up last year. I want to see those come back down a little bit. Here. In has a good team behind him in Washington. He's going to get run support. He gets to face the Miami Marlins as well. The strikeouts are gonna be solid. I think

Patrick Corban is a very fine sp two. But in a points league, I want someone who's going to give you a volume, someone who's a little bit more dependable, who's going to give you those endings. Uh. And I think it's a perfect combination with someone like Justin Verlander. Again in points league. I'm in points leagues. I'm just going to stress starting pitching a little bit more than I am in Roto leagues because in Roto you can find those guys who are good on a per enning basis,

good on a purse star pieces. Quantity quality over quantity in Roto, quantity over quality when it comes to head to head points, Greg, I want to grab a hitter here. Okay, I'm not gonna take Austin Meadows. I'm not going to take Javier Baias. When I'm going to take is actually Xander Bogarts of the Boston Red Sox, who did not lead the league in doubles last year? If not lead the league in doubles last year? I asked Greig throughout the break. He actually laughed at me and said, that

was the most ridiculous question you ever asked. No, because no, no no, no, let me describe this. I know you have two minutes ago, but like you, just like, hey, did Xander Bogers lead league doubles last year? It's a fair question. Doing a fantasy baseball show, you think it was gonna have that available for you not know what you're talking Aboutander, It's easier for you to pull it up on your laptop than for me to like hunch over here, and I got it. For you. He did not.

His teammate Rothhaeld never has had more than him last season. It makes sense, and leading the league overall was Nick Castiano's. Well, Xander Bogarts has to be close. I'd imagine, right, Greg had six less doubles than Nick Castianos all right, so he was up there, had over fifty doubles last year, and again, from a Points League perspective, a really good, play disciplined Xander Bogarts continues to get better and better right. Kind of reminds me of Anthony Rendon from the shortstop position,

where he's gonna give you a good batting average. I think the power probably takes a step back. He had over thirty home runs last year, probably hits twenty five seven home runs, really good batting average. Even with Mookie Betts out in Boston. I like the Red Sox lineup. I think people are kind of undervaluing the Red Sox a little bit too much right now with Mookie Betts being gone. Doesn't strike out so obviously that helps you

in a Points league. He's gonna hit doubles. Um. I like grabbing two starting pitchers in my first four rounds in the Points League I think Xander Bogart's is a perfect target from a points league perspective. Greg. Notice I don't have an outfielder yet on this side, because in the points leads that I play in, UH standard Points league, normally you only use three outfielders. Maybe you use four outsiders. I'm not really going to put an emphasis on a

position scarcity. I'm just gonna take players who perform well in that format, and Xander Bogarts is one of them. Greg, all right, Alexander Bogarts, I feel good about him. Him and Hobby Baya is both good picks I think in that spot in the Points League, though, I think we're comfortable. Lexander Bogart's Frank excellent job, which hems like better? Oh, I am going to take that. I really like this season. This has all my guys like I loved Meadows last

year too. Kind of sucks that he's going as high as he is this season because I'd like to have more shares of him. But someone who I really like in Roto this year is Jaby or Bias as well. I like the Seam a lot. Obviously. Both teams are great. I drafted them ROT a little bit better Jessic, Patrick Korby don't even like Patrick Korby. I do not like Patrick Corbyn. I was on Corban a couple of years ago.

Greg Hell tell the people a long time ago. Grows up, Nash Frank, I'll drag up a fantastic weekend weekend enjoying Theory Wilder. Thanks to Sean and Alex downstairs. We will do it all again on Monday as we get our position previews, we hope I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.
