You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned in to the Speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next on that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm wanting yet, Martinez. You know what it is, your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Speeds, a k Spitting Statistician a k A. The Stable Genius and vocal Minority, And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here

on the Fantasy Sports Network. You know what it is. But you need to do if you're a part of the hashtag stats over beat Cipher is you need to rate, review, comment, show love to the stats over Beat Cipher and the Fantasy Freestyle. You know how to do it. Hit me up at Spitting Speeds on Twitter, you can hit me up wherever you get your podcast, rate review the podcast. You know what it is. What we're gonna do is we're gonna continue doing that Bo Jackson, that Dion Sanders,

that Brian Jordan. We're two sport athletes. Right now, I'm a two sport podcaster. Right now, I'm gonna be giving you everything you need to know in the NFL, because listen, happy new league year. Okay, happy new league year. We got new stuff going on in the NFL. A lot of people changing their stripes, you know, going from say, oh, I don't know, Seattle Seahawks blew and green to Green Bay Packers, green and gold. We got a lot of moving going on. We're gonna break it all down for you.

We gotta pull question up as always listen. A lot of the people that have been making moves. We got the Cleveland Browns making moves, trading for Jarvis Landry, trading for Tyrod Taylor. You know, they still got one and for what are they gonna do? They're gonna get another quarterback. They're gonna get se Kwan from the b X. What are they gonna do? You got the New York Football jests,

the j E. T S Okay, Teddy bridge Wooda. We got John m Account Okay, they're also doing the Crow show, Isaiah or well, they're making moves on defense, true Maine Johnson. They got a lot of things going on. Or is it the Bears? Honestly, yo, don't sleep on the Bears. A R fifteen going over there, a prototypical X outside wide receiver. I like that, but the underlying here's my diamond in the rough. If you're a statue or beats the lover, you get down with the fantasy freestyle. You

know what SPECIs of spinning status is. I'm telling you right now, if you're in a dynasty league and you can finagle this or early hot tape, Trey Burton. Trey Burton as the new tight end, the new number, in my opinion, number two options in Chicago as the tight end. And remember you got naked there as a new head coach when he was in Kansas City as the offensive coordinator. What happened? They had Tyreek Hill a k a. Terry Cohen. They had they tried to have cam meritis, They tried

to have their one receiver. Now they have a R fifteen, right, they have their running game. I submit to you, Jordan Howard, I'm looking for Trey Burton to be a value play at the tight end position in the two thousand eight seasons. So if you get it ahead and game listen, that's what you need to do. And to be quite honest, if you listen to a fantasy football, if you listen to a fantasy baseball podcast, in March. You're trying to get ahead of the game. So I'm telling you right now,

statistician state of genius, vocal minority. I'm telling you right out, Trey Burton is gonna be that ascending tight end talent props to him getting a new free agent deal. We got a poll question up right now on Twitter, so I'm bringing it back. With the Browns, the Jets, Chicago Bears. Which one of these teams in free agency? You know, with their moods, with their trades. If you're the Browns, right getting t Mobile, getting Jarvis Landry a launch your

draft potential. If you're the Browns, you're out one and four. If you're the Jets, you have the six overall pick. Are you gonna get this quarterback? Are you still gonna get a quarterback now that you've got Josh McCown, now that you've got Teddy Bridge Walwoda. I don't know, right so? Or you fear the Bears? You know, if you're the Bears, you get in a R fifteen, you get in Trey Burne, right, You're you're building around Drabinski in this in this draft

where you gonna do go a heavy offensive line? What are you gonna do sign someone? That's That's what I'm looking at, so de Treittion. Right now, the Browns in the a f C North, the Bears in the NFC North, to the Jets in the a f C East, or in the leap off, or all three of the team is just gonna wind up in last place like they were. You know what it is where day martinezpis. That is Thistion. We here on the fantasy freestyle, on the fantasy supports thatwork.

Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna talk about football because the new league here, so listen to the Minnesota Rikings hot these streets. Okay, we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna talk about the wide receiver market. We're gonna talk about the running back market. Then we're gonna move it over to baseball. We're gonna move it over to baseball because a lot of people doing fantasy baseball drafts right now. We're gonna give a three view of the

end the East when we're here. You know City Field out there in Philly. It's always sudden me out there Philadelphia. Ever since Nick Foles did this thing. You know, we're gonna talk about the Nationals. What I think, isn't that the last chance saloon before I guy like Bryce Harper. We'll get into that, but first and then we're gonna have you know, we'll do some fun fun is functional sports radio. He shout out a strong style shout him to Jilly Dilley. You know how we do over here,

hollarnge boy adds pick speeds. Here's what we're gonna do. All right, let me give you the news straight up at this point, we saw the NFL because you know, everybody gets down with steps over beside from the NFL news here and it's it's it's a new year. It's a new day. It's not so new it's a new year, though it's like happy new year. It is the year of the speeds. It's the year of the speeds. Here's what you gotta do on the quarterback market because it's

in Minnesota. Guys. If you didn't hear me early in the week, I'm telling you right now, Cousins is in Minnesota. Three years, eighty six million dollar deal. Here's the it's like twenty eight million dollars deal a year. Here's a funny part. And here's what I think is the most important part. Foody guaranteed, one guarantee. I don't know if you know about this, and we should get into this. In football, you can get cut at any time, you know. It's not that contract and a Metro card gets me home.

That's right, not Charman. It's so soft, you know what I'm saying. So the fact that Kirk Cousins has a fully guaranteed deal, I like that. He did a short term, three year deal, you know, because then what is he like, nine years old? Easy, gonna get another chance at it at the age of thirty two, you know's got another contract. So I like this. And I was telling you I was a Jet fans. I was a Jet fan, you

know me. You know see, I was a Jet fan and I did not want Kirk Cousins, right, because if I'm Kirk Cousins, I'm going to Adam Feeland, I'm going to Stefan Dicks, I'm going to returning down. But I'm going to a top three defense. Why would I be part of the Jets rebuilding process? Right? And so I love what Kirk Cousins is. He's getting twenty eight million dollars a year. I love it. I like the Vikings. They are a division contender, they are a home field

advantage contend there. You have to love with the Vikings George right now, not to be withstandings of other guys. They could get what if in Dominican su pops off to them, you know, because Shrie Floyd can't do it. They hate us out on Mohammed Walkers him. You know what I'm saying. So I guess the thing. But then all these Vikings quarterbacks Bradford and Arizona, Keedam in Denver, Teddy with the Jets, Teddy with the Jets one year

with incentives, and they signed Josh McCown. I like that better that you versifying and you draft someone at six. That's what I'm saying right now. The Jets could still draft someone at six. What'll it be. I do not want Josh roses If you listen to Fantacy Free Style last week, I gave my breakdown on all the quarterbacks. I do not want Josh Rosesen. He's a statue. He's

gonna get your cust. Do not want Josh Allen because he's gonna take too much time and if you're the coach that drafts him, if you're the GM that drafts him, then you're gonna get fired. I think Donald is a move. I think Mayfield is a move, and I think that honestly, if you're in the right situation and you can greog Lamar Lamar Jackson, let it happen. If you want to be dynamic, you know, I feel that. But check he said, Okay, keenam in Denver. He knew Gary Kubiak from the days

at Houston. They're moving on, they're trying to deal uh, Trevor Simeon. There is news that he's going to Minnesota, you know, to backup Kirk Cousins. You know, like, Okay, fine, you got a good defense similar to Minnesota, similar to Jacksonville if you're in Denver. But if you're in Denver there you could have attracted someone better. But you get fine. Drew Brees. We knew that was gonna go down. Drew Brees fifty million dollars twenty seven million guaranteed. We like

that he should do that. He should speed spend two or three more years there. You know, I felt they were gonna get Jimmy Graham. They did not should be. Graham goes to Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, and then in a domino effect move, they released Jordane Nelson. In a domino effect move, He's gonna be the Los Angeles Raiders, the Las Vegas Raiders, the Oakland Raiders, the John Gruden Raiders, you know what I mean. Jordian Nelson.

So Crabtree is free. Where can he keep his chain safe? That's what it comes down to. Where can he keeps James safe? And what I thought was interesting. And you know, we're talking about the wide receiver market here because it's the new League year, because it's the year of the speeds, see you with the speeds. I thought it was interesting that the wide receiver market developed quicker than the running

back market. In the wide receiver market, you got Sammy Watkins three years, forty eight million dollars with the Chiefs, And I think it's interesting. I was. I was a little bit deterred by this because I love Tyree Hill. People who canna love Patty Mahomes going downfield, Patty Mahomes will be drafted as the top eight quarterback. I love Patty Mahomes, but I'm not gonna pay for this. I think it's overboard. I think it's overboard. Okay, so Sammy

Watkins Kansas City three years, forty a million. Here's what it think is interesting. Aaron Robert uh Ay rob a R fIF team Chicago three years forty two millions, six million dollars less than Sammy Watkins. I think Allen Robinson is a better wide receiver, a physically gifted wide receiver. I think he's in a situation where he's gonna be the number one target for Mitchell. Don't call me m R Bisky. I think Drey Burton is gonna play a role there. I think Torrey Cohen's gonna play a role there.

I tell you, I think they're gonna be looking very similar to Kansas City. And I like that Air five team over Sammy Watkins in Kansas City because I think Sabrey kill is still there. Travis Kelsey is still there, and I'm concerned. How did out of the Bears spend less money on him? That's funny to me. The Jags, however, keep markets Lee. You know they get another wide. I think at Markets leave four years thirty million, Richardson goes

to Washington five years, forty millions. It's just the four Richardson. We're gonna talk about this a little bit later on because I'm looking at the teams, like from a team perspective. Now, the wide receiver market is open. Now, the running back markets open. If you're the Seattle Seahawks and you let go and you traded Michael Bennett, and you cut Richard Sherman and you let going Paul Richardson, you let him go,

what are you doing? Are you on some still Russell Wilson's gonna play playground football with a bad offensive line? Or are you going to invest? Are you going to invest and try and get it? Donte moncrief? Who's with Jackson Film? Now in that you know conglomerate over there, you know, like, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna get a running back? Crow? L off the board, McKinnon's off the board, Lewis off the board, high off the board? What are you gonna do? You know what

I mean? So that's that's very interesting to me, And so it was interesting in the wide receiver market. Listen, listen, Danny Amadola gone to Miami replacing like the west Walker cycle. Right, Mike Evans will set the market. Check it out, Mike Evans five years, eighty two and a half million dollars for Tampa. I like what Tampa is doing, to be quite honest, Then let's look at let's look at the

running back market. Let's look at the running back market here on the Fantasy Freestyle speed Spin sub position and the Fantasy Sources network. You know what it is. Running back market is developing as well. I thought it was behind. But Isaiah Coel goes to the Jets three year deal. Jack McKinnon goes to San Francisco, San Francisco building an offense, go Jimmy g getting millions of a hundred thirty seven millions dollars. Then they put Jack McKinnon there. I thought

that we're gonna get Allen Robinson. They're gonna go with Garson. They're gonna go a good one, the good one. Carlos hied to the Browns three years, fifteen millions. Look at the Browns and that's our poll question. Okay, check this out, go to Twitter, college boy at Spin Speeds. The tutor question is of all these scenes that are in last place, like the Browns are in last place, they're making moves. Okay. Carlos hired at Running back. They traded for Jarvis Landry,

they tied, they traded for Tyron Taylor. They have two top four picks, Gay Brown's Jets, Bridgewater McCown. Let's see what they do, right Koel, There they're they're shoring up their defense. The Bears are fifteen tray Burn, which I think true, Trey Burton specimens, statisition. I'm calling my shot right now. You know what I'm saying. Shot call us tray Burton, top eight, tight f in the Mitch Drabinsky nake offense. I'm with that. I'm with that. I'm with it.

I'm early on, I'm with it. I'm on the I'm on the trade Burton train. Okay. Dan Lewis and the Titans, Dean Lewis and the Titans. I think that's interesting because the Patriots where they're like they're getting picked apart, Malcolm Butler goes Dean Butler, you know, Dean, Dean Lewis going somewhere, Danny, I'm a doldaging somewhere, you know what I mean. So I think it's very very interesting that Dean Lewis goes to the Titans because also we thought about we knew

to Marcom Burbris moving on. We thought that Derrick Henry, who's gonna be the new the new hot Ish. He thought he was gonna be the new high Ish. And he's not necessarily, you know what I'm saying, He's not. He's not necessarily He's gonna be a committee like everybody else. If you're not Left Bell, if you're not David Johnson, if you're not Ezekiel Elliott, if you're not Todd Gurley,

then what you know what I mean? Like, if you're not those guys, you were in a committee, if you're one of the teams that are lucky enough where you know, if you're listening right now and Fantasy sports that where you probably have keeper league dynasty. You know how we do. We got Left Bell. You can call me on my Bell phone. Um. But other than that, like you're in

a committee, you're in a straining committee, you know. So I would be looking to see, if you're in a dynast league right now, what can you do based on these free agent moves? What can you do based on these free agent moves? Like I like Richardson in Washington, I like crowd or in Washington. You know, what are you gonna do? With that otherwise the Brown I told you they're making moves, the Jets, the Bears. That's the quick Twitter agression aspect and speeds. You know what it is?

This your boy day Martinez, um chet this out. If you are part of the tests of Pete Cipher, what you know you need to do is you need to go on over to Fantasy Factor dot com Www Dot fantasy factor dot com.

I'll let you boy, we got the part we got to pull. Question up right now, which of these basement teams do you think has the

biggest chance to you know, ascend upward mobility? Is the Bears, Visit the Browns, the Jets, all of all of these teams making moves. Right now, we come back we're gonna switch it over to baseball, and we're gonna talk about the n LL East. We're gonna go deep dive into the NL East. I'm gonna tell you all these teams are like I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm a Yankees fan, but I gotta give it up. I think the Mets have a chance, but it terms on a

guy named Ramirez who you probably don't even know. But if you listen to Fantasy Sports Network as speeds, maybe you do. Come on back, you'll hear what that is. You know how we do.

Martinez Spece to spend statistician a k A stable genius and vocal minority. You know what it is. You called me with my boy Benny Riccardi. Earlier in the week, he was down there in Studio thirty four. We were doing our thing, hit us rate and review Fantasy Freestyle. Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go to the n L East because I've been giving you

my division by division previews getting ahead of fantasy draft time. Um, but in baseball right now, the big news, as you saw Jake Ebrietta three years, seventy five million dollars. I like this deal for everybody involved. If you're starting picture, you're not getting a six seven year deal anymore. I like to Jake Everriett, a three year deal twenty five billions is probably more average annual salary value that he

should be getting, but he's he condensed it. So I liked that With the Phillies, they needed someone along with Aaron Nola, which is now they have slotting Nola into the two. They have a developing offense. If you believe in Hoskins, if you leave, if you believe in Odobell. I don't necessarily, but you know what it is a lot of other signings are are happening, like you know as now it's when training is open. There's games going on. Lance Land has signed with Minnesota twelve million dollars. You

know about mustak Is going back to the Royals. When I think it's interesting about this is, uh, he got the qualifying offer from them, which is like fourteen fifteen sixteen, it was seventeen point four million dollars. He winds up signing with the same team, the Kinsas City Royals for five and a half million plus like a million in

insentives qualifying or for seventeen million dollars. He bet him you you know how you hear about Joe Flacco bettering himself in one, Matt Ryan betting on himself in one. Mike Mustakas betted himself hit thirties some odd home runs, set records for his franchise lost in free agency? Is it because the Scott Borris is because the money balls with the stats. It's because we're just in two thousand and eighteen, is because three two outcomes. I don't know,

but you lost out. I'm sorry about that. Your fantasy freestyle tip staircat wags their finger at Mike is just just taking a qualified offer. Is signed Jonathan Luke Roy. I think it's a missed opportunity for a lot of teams. We're gonna talk about the NALY East. I think Jonathan Luke Rox is a missed opportunity for the Mets in the NALY East and for the Washington Nationals in the Analyst.

If you're the Mets, what do you have Travis Darnault and you have young up and coming starters in Syndergard and to Graham and Harvey Maxim, maybe Wheeler, maybe Montero, maybe Varcus is on the thirty. Why not get a catcher that can develop these guys. I don't know that Jason Vargas is like the pitch framing expert. I don't know that you like slap someone's ass real nice, but I know he's probably better at handling his staff than

Travis Darnall, you know what I'm saying. So if you're the Nationals in this division, or if you're the Mets in this division, why are you not going out and getting Jonathan LUKOI six or seven in your lineup? Alright, so let's look at this you, let's look at this NL East. We're gonna look at the n East. Okay, let's start off with the bats. We're talking about the arms after the commercial break. Let's start off with the bats. I do it, you know, if you listen to the

statue beat Cipher, I do it in reverse order. And so in the NALYS, we got a star in Miami. What is Miami doing? Derrick Gino? What are you doing? You sell Ozuna? Do oh Yellow? You know you sell Degorded? What are you doing? You're trying to take up the statue and left center field? I think JT Real Muto needs to go as well. Right, So do I like Do I like Sun and Crafts show shut but he's gonna get trained. Do I like justin Board? Justin board

is a beast? Justin board in a hundred eight games at Homer's eight three ribbies, he is a beast, But he either will not be with Miami later on the season when it matters for you and your fantasy baseball team, or he'll be on another team and who knows what, right, so they're in They're in the five spot for me, Atlanta. Atlanta is in the fourth spot for me. Okay. Freddie Freeman is a dark horse m VP can today. I

love Freddie Freeman this year. Freddie Freeman was a little banked up last year, hand risk issues on some nonsense. But the sun sun Trust, sun Trust park Field, whatever, jet stream to right son, Freddie Freeman gonna hit thirty five home runs. Freddie Freeman, it's the same in my opinion, is Jody Joey vatdo What is the difference between Freddie Freeman and Jody Vat Joey Vado. One's gonna hit three on is gonna hit three twenty three, one's gonna hit

twenty seven home runs, one's gonna hit twenty nine. Ones are gonna hit nineties six ribies, ones are gonna hit one on one. They're both gonna get on base at like a three eighty seven clip. Okay, Freddie Freeman is a legit back in the first round piece. I love Freddie Freeman. Here's the problem with Atlanta, though, is like there's no one else left. Freddie's a lone act. He's a lone wolf. Like his name is Baron Corbyn. I don't believe in Azzi Abas. I don't believe in n

c R. I don't believe in Nick Markses. I don't believe in Dancy Swanspan. These guys are streamers. These guys are people when your man gets put on the d L. These guys are backup middle infielders. Okay, do not take them as any more than that. To to move on in the NL East. Bats wis number three for me in this division is Philadelphia, Okay. Carlos Santana going over there is a nice little landings about for him. This is a consistent O B P play. I love Carlos Santana.

Carlos Santana is white, one of my diamonds in the world from the Nial East, Okay. And it's not just because it's Carlos so kind, That's not what it is, Okay. It's because in the last like three or four years, three fifty or three seven yard based percentage, and he's gonna flourish. Man. He's got young kids behind him, He's got the Hoskins behind him. Everybody you're talking about, right, you're talking about Harrere, you're talking about Caesar Hernandez, and

you're talking about Migil Franko. Okay, maybe these kids are gonna take a step forward. Franco needs to cut his cay percentage. He you know, Franco right now is strikeout rate five per cent walk Qwaite, So that needs to change. I like Horrera Hoskins, Listen, I don't dislike Hoskins, but he's not gonna be on any of my teams. Okay, he's going right now in a very crazy level. He's going as like you're six or seven first Bason, I will wait, this guy has a toy one point seven carry.

His power is crazy, but it's only in fifteen games. We've seen this before. Will he actually continue to have a seventeen percent walk right? I don't think so. Okay, will you keep having a three nineties six O B B I do not think so. If you're drafting him, if he is on your team, you are overdrafting him. So for me, Hoskins, Philadelphia forgot about it. Go over there and talk to Zacher. Let's go over there and talk to Nicky Foles. Go over there, you know, you

go to Patty's which is Super Bowl Championship. Don't worry about the Phillies. There's still a year or two away. Number two in this division for me is the New York Mets. The Metropolitans. Steve Summers shout out to see Summers and the New York Metropolitans. I believe Mets are one of the surprise teams in the National League this year. I said this in the West about the Giants. I said this in the Central about the Brewers, and I'm gonna say it about in the East about the New

York Mets. And I'm gonna tell you why. On offense, listen, they have legit three guys who are can hit thirty home runs. Jay Bruce j thirty home runs. Frasier can hit thirty fo runs. He's not my Nus, He's not Yo and S he's our n s Yo n s Sesspitist can hit thirty home runs. You know when you have that, and then maybe you have Nemo and Conforto, you know, like outside of that, you also have Gonzalez,

you have Rays Ligarius. You know what I'm saying. Um, that's why I said why did it get Johnson Lukewroyd. But I think that's a deeper lineup than most in the National League and the same and the same way Washington. Okay, Washington is sick. Why didn't they get Luke roy what they believe in at leaders? Washington's offensive sick. I think Washington's office is the best in the National League. You got Bryce Harpers, an m VP candidate, and he's twenty

five years old in a contract year. You tell him he's not gonna blow up like a Samsung seven. Come on, So I like him. I like the spot that he's in. I think you can get thirty five homers a hundred ten ribbies easy, right, But in this offense, tell me when I say something crazy, Trey Turner sixties solar basis, Adam Eaton runs sixty ribbies, you know whatever. Listen to what the three and and listen to what the three

four five of this lineup did last year. Zimmerman, Ryan Zimman three oh six thirty six, one oh eight thirty six one O eight, Daniel Murphy three twenty two twenty three, Anthony Rendon three oh one one. These guys can regress, regret, substantially and be picked up by eaton Trade, healthy Trade Turner, healthy Bryce Harper. Are you kidding me? Let's look at

their arms. Washington again. Strasburg Suzer Serser for me. Ser for me is someone who I believe is the best picture in all in baseball, because when you talk about Kershaw and talk about some of these other guys, their injury play is too great. This you know, Max Scherzer. Max Scherzer is someone you know who has gone over one hundred and eighties seven innings in the last eight years in a row, over two hundred innings in the last five years in a row, all that while maintaining

at eleven strikeout per nine inning. I think I think he's even more consistent than Clayton Kershaw. I think he's more consistent than Chris Sale. I think she is the beast. I think he's the beast right now, Okay, Strasbury number two. Strasburgy is the opposite, right Like, the dominance is there, the dominance is there, but he's only pitched a hundred fifty hundreds every years since two thousand fourteen. He's never been over a hundred fifty five. Okay, and then what

do you do at three? If you're Washington, the Mets are going Harvey, Matt's Vargus Wheeler. What are you doing if it's Washington? Geo Gonzalez? Gio Gonzalez had a two, but his accept was at four. His babbit against him was at two. That's gotta regress back to normal. And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, he's a three nine four pitcher, you know what I mean. So I don't like that. I don't like that Washington. I'll give you what I do think Washington is gonna do.

I do think they're gonna make a move. I do think they're gonna make a move in July or something. So keep it locked for that. I talked about the Met you know, the Mets to me all the best rotation role of major League Baseball synderguard and what syndergard is one of the top three pitchers in baseball. De Grom been doing it. Harvey named me an upside three that's better than Matt Harvey in the National League and

Major League Baseball. You know. So, I think the Mets have a lot to work with familiar in the back end of depend Okay, a lot of potential Montero Wheeler Matt's you know they got a lot Vargas Lugo, they had a lot of ideas and and if I were you, and if you listen to fantasy sports networks, you needs to do with speeds is if are you? Streaming mex at home is a good look for you? Streaming Mets

at home is a good look for you throughout the year. Right, if you get a Wheeler at home against Pittsburgh, I'll take it. I'll start him that week if I get a two star week out of him to home starts something like that, So watch out for that for the Mets. Okay, Philadelphia, listen. Arietta is a great get. Arietta is a great get for the met for Philly. I love that three years, seventy five million. I like the way he reshaped the market. I like the way that he did not go for

eight years or something crazy like that. I like the fact that he gets to kick the can down the road and see it again. I like what he's doing there, and he's getting high end money in the meantime. I like that slides Nola into the two spots when Nolan is just getting ready to jump up to a hundred eighty innings. I like him. This is a guy that maintains a nine plus, like nine point four strike out for nine innings, okay, and still a three point three

X fan. You know, Aaronola is legit and he's getting pushed back to sp SP two for them. I like Aaron Nola. I think Aaron Nola is gonna be going up against number two's all year. And I like Aaron Knowla. I think he's a diamond in the rough. Talking about diamonds in the rough on the rail. Let's go to Atlanta. My man Corey Parson has a saying he likes to take last year's trash, and I'm doing that in Atlanta. Check it out. Julio Tehran and my man my Folton Vitte.

These are guys that I kind of like this year. Julio Tehran, his road, his home roads place last year were crazy. He had a three point one four e r A on the road and a five eight six at home. The jet stream was serious out there. I think he can have a bounce back year. I think he can control his like home run to flyball ratio at a new park. I think he can get his home run ratio down from thirteen point seven percent, which is relatively high. Okay, he's going right now at SP ninety.

I think that's value right there. He's being underdrafted. It's diamond in the rough in the last mom man, Julio Tehran when you think about it, like Faulty as well. This guy is going into his age twenty six season. He had a hundred fifty five innings pitched last year. He's ready for a little bit of a jump. This guy has always been around eight and nine strikeouts per nine innings. I think he's gonna get a little bit more. I like Faulty. I think there's positive regression in his babbit.

His babbit was high last year. His left on base percentage was high last year. I think there is some natural regression. For Mike Fulton Knevitch. I like both of these starters for the Atlanta Braves. I like Julio Tehran. I like Mike Fulton Kevitch. If you're a fan of the status over beat cipher, if you listen to the boy, your stable genius, your vocal minority to spitting statistician, I'm telling you right now, you can get some value for

these Atlanta Braves pictures. I'm telling you right now, you know what it is. If we go down after that, it's just you know, Miami and the same. The same as when it comes to you know, the offense per se, like you know, like in their picture rotation, what you've got some guys they're eating up innings. That's all it is. When it comes to the closers, here's what we're gonna do. Here's what's gonna do. We're gonna take a break right now on the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports

that where where we come back. I'm gonna talk about the bullpen because there are some good bullpen values in the NL East. And then you know we're gonna have some fun.

A k is fitting statistician, a k A is stable, genius and vocal minority on fantasy sports and that fantasy freestyle. You know, we were talking about the n L East and I gotta tie it up real quick. We got the n L East because you want to talk about the Bats. I told you about the Bats that I like. I told you about

how I like Um. I do not like Reese Hoskins. I do like the Mets line up in terms of cspitous I like, uh, you know, I like Frasier behind them. I like what they're doing with briefs behind them. I like, I think Comforto is gonna come back, So I like that offense, right. I like Freeman. I like Freeman, but he's a soul actor, you know. Outside of that, I think trade Turner if you need steel straight turner. Trade Turner is a first round pick because of his fifty

five to sixties steel potential. But I digress. We're gonna talk. We gonna keep moving on the n eas. We can talk about closure is listening, You're is familiar Listen. I would I might have I might have hit my wife. Also if I blew up that game about a year and a half ago. You know what I'm saying. You don't want to hear that. You don't want to hear that. But he's gonna come back, and he's gonna say forty games. He's a Tier one closer. Okay, he's got a good

opportunity nine point seven k per nine innings. This guy's gonna save forty games. You can't be mad at familiar. Familiar is a legit save target Dolittle in Washington. I like him. I like him more than others. I like him more than most. I like him more than most. And he's even get a ton of chances because I like them Nationals to win this division, to win this division with wins, So I like him to get a

lot of chances. For Doolittle, he's got closure stuff ten point three strikeout per nine innings over the last three seasons. The only question for him is can he's still healthy? If he stays healthy all year, he's gonna get forty saves, right, But if not, the problem is there's a lot of people there that are ready to take his spot. Brandon Kinseler Q to Glover, Ryan Matts and Sean Kelly. Right, they're not threats to do Little unless Doolittle gets hurt.

And the thing is he's prone to do that, right, So I love do Little if he can stay healthy, but I don't know if he will. In Atlanta. You gotta like this guy, you know, he's a legit kind of like third t year closure to me. In Philadelphia, I'll take Hector Norris. I'll take him over like knee Shack, who's lurking, you know? But really, what what's Filly gonna do? Win seventy semi games? Do you really want Tector Nerris

as you're like closer to I don't. I don't. I'd rather go down to Miami and and and and Foxwood, Brad Ziegler, Foxwood, Baron Claw if that's the move, okay, But but your closures that you look at at here in this division is definitely familiar. I like Doolittle, although there's so many threats to him, and he is an injury risk, but I like doing a little just because the Nationals are gonna win games. Okay, and then if you want to go with this guy, you know'll go

right ahead. We talk about diamonds in the rough and fool games. The guys you need to forget them out. If your friends in a fantasy freestyle Dilley Dilley status over beat Cipher. You know how we do listen diamonds in this league. I've been telling you. If you're listening right now, you know Matt Harvey's me diamond in the rough. Aaron Nolan now is an SP two diamond in the rough. Okay, if you look at Aaron Nola, If you look at Aaron Nola, I'm telling you. I said it before. I

will say it again. A hundred and eighties in the special. If he can do it, he maintains his nine plus strikeouts. His X fit is three point three. Are you kidding me? Now? Sending and slide me into an SP two roll because they just got Arietta. I like I like him a lot. I like him a lot. I like Nola, I like Harvey, I like in Atlanta, I like Tehran, I like t Haran, and like faultonevish. These are power arms that have now a new year to adjust to the new ballpark. I

like those guys like fool gazes. Give me Geo Gonzalez. Give me Geo Gonzalez as a food gayzy for sure. Okay, he had a two nine s e r A last year with an extra able fo His babbit was down to two bapup against him. That's not sustainable. Are you kidding me? That's not sustainable. I'm gonna tell you what else. The Nationals are gonna go and get an arm at the deadline. I don't know who's gonna be, Chris Archer, you know, Michael Fulmer. I don't know who's gonna be right.

But they're gonna do that because and why because Geo Gonzalez is not ready to do that, or not not ready because he's he used to be ready, but not anymore, you know what I mean. Like, that's that's what they're gonna do. That's how much of a fool gaze that Geo Gonzalez is in my opinion, when you look at the vision. Obviously, the Nationals I'm telling you right now, the Nationals are my NL Pennant winners. I like the Nationals in the World Series against the Cleveland Indians. Your

boys Speeds is on record. Listen and if you've listened to Speeds last year. Uh in two thousand seventeen baseball season, I said, I like the Houston Nashvills. So in the American League they won on one, they went on and won the World Series. Last year two thousand seventeen football season, I said, you know who my surprise team is in the NFC. You know who I like. I like the Philadelphia Eels. I was early on them. I was early

on them this year. So what you need to do is you need to listen to Speeds and you need to see these futures markets. You need to go on over whether it's to my bookie Dada a g or elsewhere, the Sports Action Network, whatever it is. You know, we talked to everybody, and you need to put it down and listen to your boy Speeds. I'm telling you right now what I like out of this division. Quite honest. I like the Washington Nationals, and I like them in

the World Series against Cleveland Indians. And I like Washington because I think is Gio Gonzalez things a blessing and a curse. They're gonna rely on him as the sp three and it's not gonna work. Okay, it's not going to work. And what they're gonna do is they're gonna have to go out and they're gonna have to acquire someone else. And I'm telling you that's gonna be like Chris Archer. That's gonna be like Michael Fullmer. You know, that's gonna be like who knows coal holes as a three?

You know, it's gonna be something. And that move is what is going to really really help the Washington Nationals. I'm talking about some trading deadline ish that I'm for telling what Like I'm miss Cleo called me. Now you know the number of tae for four A seven nine. Here in the Fantasy Sports Network, I'll be in Studio thirty four earlier in the week. Right now, I'm just holding you down with that real nonsense that you need to win your leaves and win that cash. An't East

preview which voice be the spin STA station. Earlier in the week, I had Benny Riccardi, the Dead ninety nine g in there and we had a lot of fun. We had a lot of fun. Check the mom in Benny over there at Guru Elite doing it down all right. So that's what it is, and as we move on, we need to put the fun in functional sports radio. Before we do that, I gotta tell you about our other friends. You know, one of my sponsors over at d k M s a d k MS check it.

That's what I'm saying. Yo, but we put the fun and functional sports radio here on

the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Network. You know what it is. Speeds been statistician, stable, genius, vocal minority here on a fantasy sports radio network. I have questions for you guys from stats over Beat Cipher, you know how I love the stats will be Cipher got a question from Mystic Birdman at Webber seven. He asked me, he's got a ten seeing league and he's gotta keep two guys baseball. You know he's gotta keep two guys. He has Machado, Donaldson, Rizzo and Chris Sale, and he

wants to know who am I thinking about keeping? And for me, it's pretty simple, like Chris Sale is definitely one of them. Chris Tale is one of the top three pictures. He's gonna strike out two hundred and fifty people. I like power arms in fantasy baseball. I do not like starting pictures. I do not throw, I do not row investment draft capital, auction capital at starting pictures. But Chris Sale is someone who I will so if you

have an option to keep him, do that. And then it comes down to Machado, Donaldson, or Rizzo and i gotta tell you something here that maybe if you're real hardcore fans of the stats over beat Cipher, you know what I'm talking about. But if not, I'm putting you on right now. Anthony Rizzo in most formats, not only is he as a first baseman, likely above Machado, maybe above Donaldson as well, but he is also in most film ats Yahoo, he is definitely um he is second

base eligible. Anthony Rizzo, second base eligible. You're gonna get twenty nine home runs, hundred and five Rimys guy hitting three ten second base eligible. So I'm taking Rizzo in this question. So the mystic birdman, you know what it is. At Weber seven, thanks for hollerin Atney, but for you, the answer is sale and risso because of the second base eligibility. Yo, you know what it is. We're doing it here, Fantasy Freestyle, We've got the fund and functional

sports Radio. I want to talk to you about two other things real quick before I get out of here. And the first is, like, you know, when the combine last week, I told you about Shakim Griffin, who with one hand put up twenty on the bench press, who ran a four three eight, which was the fastest for a linebacker. I think in the last like fifteen years at least, it's like two thousand and three. Well, listen. It continues in the UFC, not necessarily UFC, but in

in miss Bartiflage and fighting. Nick Newell is fourteen and one. He fights for a Legacy Fighting Alliance l f A. He has one hand okay, um, he's ampuciated below like the left elbow. Okay. His only loss in his career INTA the current U HAVEC number six overall light welcomes head justin uh, justin g right, and so he's like fourteen and one. He won his last match with a first round rear choke. You know that. He was like all that cameras, I'm coming to UFC, baby, you'll check

it out. I think this is like two eighteen we talked about, you know, respecting everybody, whether it be women, whether it be minorities. You know, everything from me too in Black Lives Matter, you know, like also, listen, ability is another ism, you know, ability is another ism out there, um and shout out shout out to Nick Nowell's shout out to um chat Griffin. You know, because maybe you'll

be productive, Maybe you won't. But you should be judged objectively on how you perform, in the same way that you should if you are homosexual, if you are a person of color, if you are a man or a woman, you should be judged on your merit, you know, absolutely, And so I like that we see these stories of people popping out over here. So your boys Speeds has to tip his cap as well to Nicol Nowell. I will he does make it to UFC. I will be continues to grow this platform. I hope he continues to

win in his lightweight division. You know what I'm saying. So that's how we do. UM. The other thing I want to talk to you guys about today, Um after we shut it down a real quick yo. By the way, how was Benny? How was Benny Riccardi with me early week? If you subscribe to Fantasy Freestyle, which you should and rate and review it, you know, listen, honestly, if you rate and review Fantasy Freestyle, come on buy Studio thirty four for the early week episode and you got your

sound Speeds over there at Rock and Riley's. You know, That's how we'll do it. But that's what I'm telling you about the NL East and at least, you know, Washington potentially to win it all. I like the Mets to be a surprise team with the Brewers and the Giants to those three teams are gonna make the playoffs. I think the metsican If you tell me their their their rotation starts twenty eight games, I'll show you a playoff team. Right. So we like that when we come

back next week. Free agency is fast and furious. Okay, free agency is fast and furious. It's real big. What we're gonna do is we're gonna look at teams that need to potentially look to upgrade at the wide receiver position because wide receiver went hot and heavy. You know what I'm saying. The Bears made their move with a R fifteen, you know what I'm saying, Like um, a lot of teams were making their moves. We talked about Sammy Watkins going to the Chiefs. They're doubling down. You know,

there's a lot of teams in reflux. We're gonna talk about those teams that are in flux, like the Carolina Panthers. Are they down with just my homegirl Maria Marino? First Team All Lit Honey Funchs of votes or do they need to improve? Right? The Indianapolis Colts just lost yem On Yemon Crief. Do they need to improve alongside t Y Hilton to try to support How are they going to build up around Andrew Luck? The Seahawks now losing their defense. We're gonna talk about this on on next week.

We're gonna definitely talk about this. Okay, keeping Luck if you're a Seahawks fan for real? Because you let go of Richard Sherman, you know what I'm saying, Um, you trade Michael Bennett, you let go of Richardson as a free agent. You're not spending any money. Are you gonna what built up the offensive line around danger Us? Are you gonna try and get him? What are you gonna do? Are you gonna make a splash in the wide receiver market? There are no wide receivers right now. They are better

than what you had in Paul Richardson. What are you gonna do? Micro Cribtree? You're not going there? What are you gonna do? Running back? Same situation? You're gonna ride Riccarson? Is that what you're gonna do? What are you gonna do to build this up? As you know the Rams are a sting as the Niners are ascending, as the Vikings are assenting, as the Eagles are ascending. Wait wait, wait do you get in? Bro? Where do you get in? If you're the Seattle Sea Harsher? Is the window closing?

I said it last episode. That was actually my pole question last episode. I wanted to know what y'all thought about the Seattle Seahawks because that's the way it goes down here with with free agency early on, and I thought it was interesting. I thought it was very very interesting. A lot of you thought the window close. Seventent of you on Twitter told me that the window head closed. Only said that Russell Wilkon could still carry it. But

that's what we're gonna talk about. Free agency is going to move on, and your boys speeds, the spitting Statusasion will be there to hold you down. We're almost done with all of our previews. We got half danl West to do, we got the Al East to do. We're gonna continue to talk about free agency as it moves on.

We'll get you ready for the draft. All of the guys at at at quarterback we've talked about, we're talking about some of the running backs out there as well, the Ronald Jones, that Darius Guys is the Nick Chubb. We'll get into there where maybe some good fits after free agency goes down and we see where the dust settles. That's how we're gonna do it. Thanks so much for checking me out, downloading me or wherever you get your podcast rate and review it and check me out. Early

next week we'll do the video thing. Come on in to Studio thirty four with the Stats over Beat Cipher. Get down on the chat room, big shout out to the people as always, whether it be Jilly Dilley out there, whether it be Strong Style on the chat room, you know whoever it is hollering me with your questions at Spinning Speeds, Shout out to Mystic Birdman who did so today. We'll be back later next week. The free agency moves up, popping yo, so I'll be here to cover it and

you can get down with Stats over Beat Cipher. Let's do it. I'm out. Have a great weekend your tournament, you know, happy happy NT double A. The madness has begun Loyola Chicago. If you listen to your boys Speeds, all right, let's get out of here. You know what it is peace,
