Starting Pitcher ADP Battles: Eno Sarris vs. Nick Pollack (Ep. 935)

be breaking down ten different starting pitcher debates. Fellas. I really appreciate you making the time today. How's it going.

the most popular one, so we're picking from there. But I think these will apply regardless of where you are playing. And we're gonna get start off with kind of a hot one and it's gonna be those two pitchers who are going in and around the first round, and there will be some people who say I'm not taking a picture in the first round one way or another. There will be some people who say, whatever happens, I'm leaving with an ace in those first twelve or fifteen picks.

So for those people, you know, we'll start with you. They're on the clock. Let's say it's pick thirteen fourteen, and you got Tarique Schooble and you got Paul Schmes up there. Who are you choosing from if you are going to take a picture in that range.

to not be his crossbody. And I don't know if that if that's the source of it, of some of it, or if you just throw that was really hard, you know. That's the other aspect of it is he throws really hard. He does have like a decent gap between. You know, he's kind of one of those guys who saved something in the tank and he like maxes out at like ninety nine, but it kind of sits ninety six, which is good. But and he seems like he's super healthy

right now. But I that's where I ended up kind of because I think both of them in terms of arsenal's below strikeout rates. You know, situations home parks even are in ideal landing spots.

no problem. You might be surprised to see that. Plv our projections here pitchro List have him in a sub thirty percent strike out rate, and I think that's because

the forcinger doesn't get a ton of whiffs. It's more about horizontal movement surprize on that forcingers then actually allows for more contact on it when they're laid on, it kind of goes back towards the handle, which is great, good outs, but it's not actually the big strike up pitch that's a splinker really for Paul Skins and without I don't know, it doesn't have an absurd whiff slider right, it's good, but it's not this like, okay, cool, wait

for this Dylancy slider coming. It doesn't make the full package quite yet for Paul Skins to say that, yes, this is clearly going to be a thirty five percent strike ouery guy. And then yeah, Scooble, I think is just more of a complete thing that I feel. Yeah, this is my SP one. I'm going to be totally fine with us.

Red Sox, big Lefties. There's some comparisons here. I've heard Garrett Crochet refer to as Chris sale Light in some aspects, and they are going Nick looks a little bit of Paul there. We'll let I'm talk in a second. But big Lefty. I think that's where it comes from White Sox to Red Sox. I think that it doesn't go too much farther than that, but they're both going right around the same adp of thirty eight or thirty nine. Nick, we'll start with you on this one. What do you

think about that? Com First of all, do you have a preference between the two of them this year? I guess you do.

I can't do that. And then he has a cutter off of that that looks just similar to it, and that was amazing just as a two pitch pitcher last year. And then he had the sweeper moved away from the traditional slider that was effective for him. He's also having the sinker now that is phenomenal against lefties. I mean, it's just he's dumb as a pitcher and I feel like he should just strike out ten guys every single

time he pitch is better situation now in Boston. I would even argue that those I want to say that Fenway is worse and it's a bad place to pitch. Sure, but my understanding is that it should actually turn a lot of it's the left field that might be home runs into doubles. And when you talk about guys, especially at this kind of a level, what are the ways that they actually have a bad year Ray, It's not

the doubles that burn them, it's the home runs. So there's some sort of suppression going on for home runs for greater Crochet. That's a good thing in my view, because then now they're on second, I'll just right on the next guy. I love Garrett Crochet. I really can't express this enough. It's such a fantastic season in a runway for him to just be the sp one and fantasy.

where are you coming from? All that, they started talking about things about like how close the backstop was and like how there's no foul ground, and so they started talking about things that had nothing to do with the mound size anymore. And I realized that I just think that to some there's like a psychological aspect having talk to Garrett Crochet like that dude does not think like that, Like he is that he like he he has you can see it too. He has these dominant pitches and

he just throws dominant pitches. You know. He's just the guy's like I just throw the I throw the ball real hard, dude. And I'm not saying he doesn't have touch and he can't add the sinker and all that stuff is good. But like he's he's it doesn't surprise me at all that he had this time as a reliever, Like he kind of has that, Like I come out here, I just throw my best pitches as hard as I can, and I get out, you know. So I actually don't think that Boston will be that much of a problem

for him. And what also happened was the psychology you were just talking about, of consensus psychology. So I was just looking at this, and you know, Nick, you know, I could tell he's about to say that it's great Crochet over Chrissale and I'm not along with him, nodding along with him. I'm like, oh, yeah, totally, I totally agree with you. I look over my rankings. I have Sail ahead of Crochet and I'm like, why do I have Saale ahead of Crochet? And I look across and

I'm like, Okay, Crochet has better stuff. Plus Crochet has a lower era projected, Crochet has a higher strikeout ray projected. What am I doing here? And then I was like, oh, it's got to be innings, right, And I'm like, well, I gave great Crochet one hundred and sixty two innings and I gave Chris Sale one hundred and ffty six. Is people cannot forget that Chris Sale is often injured

guy too. You know, Chris Sale was the guy before Crochet that couldn't get healthy, you know, like you know, So if I've got Crochet for more innings and more strikeouts and a lower era, I just I just flipped them in the ranks. So oh no, But is this consensus that's happening? Is you know, am I not being beholden to my to my own ranks? Is that what's happening? Is this is how consensus?

EEno make that flip here live on the air. I always love to see things like that happen before we keep going. I want to remind you guys about the Draft Wizard.

We're gonna pit a couple of big dogs. One of them I'm very interested in this year, and that's Jacob de Gram, And we're gonna go up

against Nick's guy, and that's Cole Reagan's. They're both going right around ADP of forty eight in some high stakes drafts. Jacob de Gram will go up higher. And if you see a couple of one hundred mile an hour radar gunshots who knows where main events season, we'll have him going. But you know, we'll kick it back to you to start off this one, Jacob Degram or Cole Reagan's at an ADP of around forty eight.

you put there. I put one hundred and thirty two innings next to him. For Reagan's, I have one hundred and seventy six. You know, I do think that if one was like, you know, a back end rotation guy, then I would take one hundred and thirty innings. I still have de Grom fairly high, but when you have Cole Reagan's, the extra fifty innings could be a big difference. I mean that's wins. You know, you strikeouts as a quantity,

even if maybe by rate, de Grahm is higher. So I like Reagan's a lot even in One thing that did bug me was that Reagan's lost more velo over the last last season. Of course last season than any other starting pitcher. But I believe Nick said that he had some fixes for that. He thought in his low line.

the ray guns pew pew pew. But I think this is really important of a question as a fantasy manager. Are you in a draft and home, Are you in a best ball league? Are you in a super deep league?

I personally do my rankings based on a twelve teamer, and I think that's the most consistent one in the twelve team or shallower or actually at wing our users more than say fifteen teamers in deeper right, So with that in mind, you have to understand that what you're gaining with de Gram, which is not your other like your number five starter one thirty innings, It's that you're getting to Gram at five six innings, and then he stops, and then it's Il and then you get that replacement.

And if you think about these players as a roster spot as opposed to as a player, well, we're thinking Cole Reagan's with that innings projection to be throughout the entire season, but then it's dea Gram plus whoever you get in this year, the sp pool is as deep as I've ever seen it. I mean, the quality of a replacement pitcher is insanely good relative to the top end here. So I'm actually favoring to Graham for this reason that I have this guy that I know is

quality and going to be absurdly good. We saw him throw ninety nine in September last year, like he's good to go. Not to mention, de Gram was a workhorse until twenty twenty one, and then he had the precursor to TJ that took him out for a little bit. I think there's another injury fair, but then he had the TJ after that, So it's realy two injuries to me that he's had over the course of the last

four years, and now he has a healthy elbow. I know that sounds weird to say, like, well, maybe du Gram isn't just like destined for fifty innings or something like that. I know you said one thirty two. I love one thirty two. My gosh, one hundred and thirty two d Grom plus whoever comes in for another forty whatever it is after that.

my top ten. So I'm a big with.

on you. Why can't Jacob to Grom be the sp one growing one hundred and thirty and forty innings?

handedness matters consistently. It's a great situation for him, and with Logan Web actually myself liking him more as I looked further into him. He had horrible luck on his change up last year. The ICR marks that is the ideal contact allowed, which is just a better version for hard hit rate. I jumped up massively on this change despite actually not really utilizing it any differently and having still amazing PLV marks and everything. And I think it's

because Batters became ready for it. Finally they knew that Logan Web was just like, I'm going to throw sixty change ups in a game guy, So he actually had to change what he was doing a bit and worked in a bit more of those sliders involved with obviously the sink or two and it kind of and it worked. But I feel like now Web can come back and get better luck on that change up with his better mix now and just I like them both. By the

end of the day. I feel like Web, we saw a one oh six whip and then we saw the one twenty three, and it's just yeah, you are going to allow more hits because you are a ground ball guy. Ground ball guy, right, that's just your nature. While Imanaga is extreme flyball Rickley helps him, uh, and it's it generally seems to me you have a better whip with Managa.

Maybe he's close to the same strikeouts just due to a volume of Web, but there's more potential of Web hurting you for a full year like his one twenty three. What did over as many innings as he did than in Minaga, who would have to be more of the era side of the home. It's really become a massive problem from over the years. So that's why I'm leaning in Minaga over Web.

and homers, and you know, I'm a little surprised. The whips conversation is interesting because ground botherers do have higher whips usually, but they're projected for like a difference of like one one point one ish for for Shota and like one point one four ish for Webs. So like, and I could look at last year's number for Web and say, well, they didn't really have a shortstop all year, and now they're gonna have Willie Damis, and like the guy that was their shortstop is going to be much

better defensively at the second base. This might be a way better defensive infield, you know, all around. Just with that that change, and then I just have in terms of projections, I have a like three point five for Logan Web and Era and a three point nine three point eight eight for Showta, So like, I'm going to take that, and I think that that bulk is where

I get some of those strikeouts back. And sometimes when you're think of talking about like you know, a roster slot versus a player, I think about this also, like if you play in a weekly league and you have the choice between Logan Web and someone might give up more homers or a reliever for example, And some people might say, well, a Logan Web start, you may not

get more strikeouts than a reliever. The problem is that Logan Web goes seven deep a lot, you know, and so yes, his strikeout per batter might not be like great, but in terms of a roster slot for that week, you can still expect five or six strikeouts. Can you expect five or six strikeouts from a reliever that you put it in there instead?

Like those guys, if you started with a crochet, you should probably back them up with the Logan Web as opposed to backing up with Showtai Monic. I think because you're starting to layer risk a little bit. So I just love Logan Web in this like grouping of kind of like Pablo Lopez, Aaron Nola, like, you know, these guys are going to be pretty good and give you a lot of innings and could really back you up really nicely if you took.

working to my rankings about in Monaga. But I just it's just in my head is that your we do see Japanese pitchers in their second year be affected by the increased to workload the previous year, right they And I didn't want to act on that because I am actually really optimistic on you know, it's just overall skill set, like it just works, this works really well. I'm not gonna I don't. I personally don't have that three to nine,

which I get because of the home run rates. But even with the amazing season of storr of the year that Monaga had last year, it was still a fantastic run Even after and including that what Niner running game and all those others, it was still like a three four year a after that. So including that blow up, I just think that Managa is just those three pitches work.

doesn't exactly give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. So if forced to choose between these two, let's call it the fifth, sixth, seventh round kind of range, depending on leagu's siye, who are you leaning with? Between Max Freed and Tyler Glass? Now?

had and I feel good. So that's and then I what I can point to is that he was kind of I think it was like the twenty first best starting pitcher last year if you look retroactively, and I if you look under the hood, he could have done better than he had last year, like a three four five ERA with all the strikeouts he could have, Like Sierra says, he deserved a two ninety RA, you know, and Sierra's actually a pretty powerful stat for how old it is and uh it's skill indiactive era on Fangrass

and it's still a pretty pretty powerful, pretty predictive stat two ninety RA. So if Gosta comes back and only gives you, only gives you one hundred and thirty five innings, but this year it's more like the three ten or the two ninety that he deserved last year, then he's going to be better than the twenty first pitcher at the end of the season and he's going around there. So you know, that's where your upside is is same

as last year. Totals wise, with Freed, I do have more innings for him, but I have an era that's projected to be higher like A like you know, a third of three point three higher. And I have FREEDA has never given the strikeout rate that a Glass now does. So you have to think about that too. Is that like if they if you give both the same amount of innings, you're going to get like twenty fewer strikeouts from from Freed And that's a category.

Glas now. For that reason, I think Max Freed is just massively undervalued. He had a three thirty eight ARRA last year and everyone goes, oh my god, oh it's terrible, and that was the highest he's had in I think

ages and maybe his rookie season. He's also someone that needs to rev up, and we see this every single April typically, but then he won the IL and then he needed a couple of starts to actually get back to where he was and that's the difference of his era is really him coming back from the IL and reving up again, and that's it's Max Freed. He also has room to grow even with this change up that

used to be there a bit. It lagged behind him against rities, also dealing with lefties with a little stranger last year. Honestly, I think he's just gonna throw more cutters inside of lefties and sorry not cutters as sinkers inside of lefties and that should be great. I also want to point out that the i L injury that he had, I als think that Max Freed had was inflammation,

not a tear. It wasn't a strain in that time either, And the Yankees signing him the way that they did would not be doing that if they felt that this was actually a ticking time bomb of an elbow injury. So I have a lot of faith in this and I see it as this is such a.

situation right now. He's on the Yankees, which obviously not much different from Atlanta. But this is your like e a whip king with you know, strike out an ending like tons of winds. I love this from Max Free getting him everywhere I can. It's just kind of do I want the upside quality per inning with glasnow more? And so I think I have Freed eleven and glassnow at thirteen just.

Is there something underlying in the mechanics that's doing this that's rather than the actual injury leading to the next thing, you know what I mean, Like they doing something wrong that then leads to TJ rather than the actual injury leading to the next So I think that's really interesting from linement about you know, what happens once this thing is healed. The other aspect of this is like there's a philosophical question is like how long does something matter

to you in terms of health? Because we have Zach Wheeler to a lot of people's annoyment annoyance. In my rankings, I've been using Jeff Zimmermann's health ratings and Zach Wheeler has the same health rating. I forget who was there's two seventy seven percenters.

he's a guy. But then one of the inputs into Zimmerman's thing is have you ever had an arm injury or have you ever had dj you know, like, how many elbow injuries have you had? Period? And not how long ago were they? They he does have a little separation where he's like, have you ever had it? And then you have had it in the last two years. If you had the last two years, it's worse. If you've ever had it, it's still in there. So that's that's what I wonder. How much of that is true?

Is it still in there somewhere? Is there something in Maxwreeths mechanics that lead that led to that strain that will lead to something worse later? You know? Is it still in there somehow even if the thing itself has healed. I don't know the answer to that, and I think that's what makes health forecasting so hard. But since you're comparing him to an other guy who gets hurt a lot, you know, I have a difference in innings of like

twenty innings. To me, once that happens, I'm I'm like, Okay, neither these guys gets an a for me health wise, So I'll just take I'll just take what I think will better innings in glass.

Experience a smarter way to draft at fantasypros dot com, slash Assistant or on the MLB Draft Wizard app. All right, guys, we're gonna be a little bit more rapid fire in the second half here or else they're going to start yelling at me for going long on this one. But let's go on to Luis Castillo versus Spenser Schwellenbach and Nick we'll start with you on this one.

all there. And I'm a big fan of Spencer Swallenbach, while with Luis Castillo, it seems so strange to me to have Nola, Gallon and Castillo outside of my top thirty for the first time ever, just because these are all pitchers to me, who yes, they will be productive for your teams. It's just what is the line of Hey, twelve teamer versus fifteen teamer? What kind of whip and earra am I okay? With what kind of risk am I putting myself into them getting worse as opposed to

be better? And with Castillo, we saw the degrading fastball, We've seen his change of just not be the pitch that it used to be. It all has all, it has all the signs of this getting worse before things improve. So I have Swallenbach ahead of Castillo. I don't know if I love that. I am going to assume that Seattle being the anti Corps is still going to be a thing, so at least you've got that going for you.

But I just think that Spencer Swellenbach is a super talented arm who has all the tools at his disposal. Really good command too, and is just primed to be that fantastic hundred and seventy inning guy that you wanted to be.

started throwing the slider softly. And I don't know, I think he actually even said something that like somebody told him it would be better that way, and so he kind of opened the season with a slider in the eighty fives and eighty five is kind of a magic number where all sliders are better after over eighty five, And I don't really know why he was doing that, And at some point he started throwing it hard again, and he was doing it more sort of eighty eight,

eighty seven, eighty eight like he used to. And if you just kind of cut the season off where he started throwing the slider harder, you get better numbers overall. You get a what is this here, a twenty four percent k rate, you know, and you get a three five ERA. And I think that, like just generally he's better with that, with that side of the way it was he figured that part out. I'd like his arsenal. I know his change up isn't as good, but I think he still has change up sinker in him. And

he also has four seam slider. I think he's got such a high floor because of his park. I have him comfortably ahead of schwan Bach. I don't know where necessarily. Maybe the three seven five RA projection for Schwambach is off, but that's the number I've got, And so schwam Black is more, you know, around Hunter Green for me, which is love them, excited about them, but down a little bit lower, whereas Luis Castillo is back in that Pablo Lopez logan web area where I'm like, this is really

bankable innings. I just think it's it's it's again. It's a floor versus ceiling argument again, like Nick has been saying, it's right, the smaller league, the less you care about floor. My biases are towards deeper leagues. I do care about floor. So that's that that I'll show up in my rankings.

Nick and I were talking about this before we started recording, just really fantastic stuff. It's kind of a tricky one going right around pick one hundred and five. This one we will start with Eno. I've probably mixed it up who I'm starting with on each one here, but let's we'll go back to Eno for this one. Spccer.

a little bit. I do think that what happened with Sunny Gray is that he started throwing that sweeper like forty percent of the time so much, so much, and what we saw in the playoffs, or it was the playoffs last year or just the end of the season or the playoffs before, we've seen We've seen batters start

to get better at that. We've seen the batters get better at sweepers across the league generally every year they reach at them less and they swing at them more on the strike zone, and so they're getting used more used to the sweeper shape. So I think that's going to happen for him this year. I think that like, yes, it is this one great shining duel he has, which is this amazing breaking ball, but everything around it is not as great anymore. He's getting older. Grayson Rodriguez has

has come to camp with the sweeper. The one thing he was missing was something that got right. He's out. He has reverse splits because he has a great change up. But you're telling me, I now have a guy the four seam, a sinker. He can maybe even bring the cutter back in. Gotta have a sweeper, and he has a plus change. That's a big wide arsenal with Velo

with command. I think he's you know, I think last year when we did this, we had a question of like, who's somebody that's outside of the top twenty five that could jump in. That's Grace and Rodriguez from me. In fact, he's in my top twenty five because I think this is the year for him. I think he's just on the cusp of a breakout.

pick because that's what's happening with Grayson Rodriguez. He doesn't have reliable strip pitches outside of that fastball, and the fastball should be missing all these bats, but it's not because the guys are just going up there and looking for the fastballs. Why this changeup that is not located well right now to lefties is doing so well because they're just selling out for that heater a ton and having something that's a little bit more deceptive at the

near velocity ban like a sinker. I would say against right handers, two is going to do wonders for him. And I have to imagine, even though the cutter is the legendary thing of the Baltimore orioles Bane, I guess whatever, over the years where they banned them from throwing them, I think they're a little bit more more. They liked it a lot more than they used to. Now with Sunny Gray. What's crazy is you can look at put

away rates just for strikeouts. He had a thirty percent strike out right out of nowhere, and you can just look at how efficient in a two strike count, how often does this pitch strike the batter route That is a putaway rate. Let me see like twenty five percent. It's like, oh man, that's really good. Good job. Twenty eight percent on the sweeper last year you got underneath lefties.

But the sinker to four seamers had forty percent. And it's not like he thok like five of them like he did backdoor sinkers to right handers, and a forty percent rate is just absurd. There's I've never actually seen that on a regularly used pitch.

why we do these shows. Ladies and gentlemen. Make sure you're subscribing so you can get all the greatest intel. Let's keep it going though, and we're gonna talk about a couple of guys who have switched jerseys over the years, guys that have at various times both been close to my heart, and that's Robbie Ray and Kevin Gosman.

whereas Gossmin's is just dropping and dropping dropping. At some point, I think he may even have like a disastrous season, like in terms of disaster season percentage, like I think Gosman's is higher the latest that for me.

maybe a little bit more reliable. You have a preference between the two of them.

I don't know that it's going to be any better this year. I if he really came out and was like, oh, guys, you've got to see my cutter, I think I would listen because that that could that could change things for him. If he like was like I'm gonna rea, I'm gonna emphasize my curve, I might listen because it's his Chaine Up's not very good.

Any case, neither one of them has like standouts in terms of projections or arsenal mixes or anything that kind of makes me want to take them.

these little stretches there and goes, well this. It reminds me of Jorn Montgomery then of just Jorn Montgomery would have these moments and then like Okay, he's great now, no no, no, hold hold on, he stills kind of a lot of problems that he still hasn't quite figured out right, And yeah, until Fought finds a proper weapon against left handers, yeah you're gonna have some problems there. I both I have both of them underneath my top eighty, believe it

or not. It's also because in twelve Teamers, the way it's structured for me is at fifty to fifty five is like, these are guys I'm not dropping the entire year, like I'm drafting this, I'm not dropping them. Then after that for the next like twenty or so is all about ceiling. It's just about what who do I think is possible to be amazing for my team and not dropped ever. And I can also make a quick decision

on them in the season. I can know in the first week or two and maybe even before the season starts that I am.

three games you just go what is this? What is this? And you're gonna rage quitting.

You know, probably if you're good at that, you're good. You're a good picture.

of them. Really, But Nick, let's start with you on this one. I think Sanchez peaked your interest a little bit. I think I've seen you tweet a couple of things about him. Is that your lead here?

of that as a massive ICR to right handers. Maybe if you throw that as a cutter instead and you can still have this very effective change up, like an amazing one, and then you have a cutter in said that gets out instead of the sinker that is very hittable. That makes sense to me. Also, I love the fact that Christopher Sanchez moved from outside to inside against lefties

with that sinker last year. Yes, he was thrown away to lefties with a sinker with a super like twenty inch horizontal and trying to do cult strikes back door and said jamming them and it drove me up the wall and he changed it. That's great. I'm really torn because Ryan Pepio, to me, I think he's just so good. I think that fastball, I know the trop makes four seamers better and he's not going to be in that.

And also the human weather is going to make the Nikey dimensions a little bit worse for pitchers that does in New York. But oh, it's such a good fastball. And the change up was an eighty grave pitch coming up, and then he lost the feel of it, and then he has it every so often for the most Brasil has it. And a slider I think is fantastic too, Like he has the three pitch mix with old sever Aino that I always really want to see guys have, and he just needs more time to get comfortable with it.

And I think there's a very legitimate top twenty upside from Ryan Pepio. It's just it's not a good situation I think for him, while Sanchez is just so much safer. You know, he's going to get wins up the lazoo. You know he's gonna go deep into games. You know he's gonna have a Johnny Goodie, Right, he should have a better whip. If that's a cutter, Is he gonna have a twenty percent carry? Maybe? I hope not, but

I you know, it could be better now with that cutter. Right, So I want to say Sanchez for deeper leagues and then Pepio for shallower leagues. But you know you can decide for all of us.

really good pick. And I think, I don't know, maybe he does go in and out of the change up, but it is that was his bread and butter coming up. So I have confidency I'm gonna give him that change up and give him an elite change up. And then he really developed like a good hard gyro slider. It was really important to him because he's a little bit like I forget we were talking about Grace and Rodriguez, where he doesn't have great command of any of his pitches.

And then if you if he gets behind. Before he had the hard gyroslider, he had to go to the four seam, so you the hitter would anticipate, oh, I know what pitch is coming. It's gonna be the four seam. And if it's in the zone and got spanked, and if it was out of his zone, they took it so they knew what pitch was coming. Now with the hard gyro slider, he can he has multiple pitches he

can go to when he needs a strike. I think it's an amazing repertoire of like this hard sort of gyroslider, cutter thing, great four seam, great change up, bigger slider, bigger like slower breaking ball, so it's a four pitch mix. The command rose. I think you're in his rearview mirror. I think he's going to ascend into himself this year where this is like it's a little bit like Grayson, where it's like he's shown us the little parts. He's

got all the stuff and everything looks pretty good. And for what it's worth, has the innings now to kind of come out and do one hundred and seventy you know, both these guys can come out and give us one hundred and seventy five innings, be in the mix, get cy young boats. This is how I think of it. I think they have that type of talent. So I'm all over reput and I don't mean to say anything bad about Sanchez, but Sanchez to me is like a

Sandial Contra, which is great. It's a Sandale Contra startup kid. It's really good, but that doesn't come with that top end strikeout rate and on the front end. So until he shows me that you know that next step in terms of strikeouts, even getting it to twenty three or twenty four percent, that's when I think he had It's like ace like upside right now. Right now, it's it's Sandy in a much worse park, you know, than than

Sandy had back in the day. Sandy, without necessarily knowing Sandy was like, oh, you might have a bad strike out, right, but he's gonna give me two hundred and ten innings, so I still get some good strikeouts, you know. Yeah, I don't know if you give Christopher Sanchez that yet. So I like them both, but Pepio is the guy I really love.

other ways. And it's gonna be hard for me to be like, oh, you could be a top ten pitcher in this league, like I have zero percent for that for Logan Web. I might have like a two percent for Christmas Sanchez and like an eight percent of top ten percentage ability.
