00:03 - Move on to Tampa, because what we've done here

00:05 in the last few weeks is actually, I've seen it,

00:07 and a tip of the cap to Joe and our producers

00:10 is we keep repeating it, because if these guys aren't up

00:14 or they aren't rostered in enough leagues,

00:15 it's our duty, it's incumbent upon us

00:17 to continue to talk about them.

00:19 We had Paul Skeen's graphics on this show,

00:20 I think for three or four weeks.

00:22 Here we are, same thing now with a particular player

00:25 in Tampa, who I definitely think is worth the talk.

00:29 - He definitely is.

00:30 Junior Caminero, again, another tremendous talent.

00:32 Over the last couple weeks, this is an offense here

00:35 with Tampa I don't think that scares anybody.

00:38 Hitting 240 as a collective team right now

00:41 over the last two weeks.

00:42 I think Junior Caminero, again, of all the players

00:46 we've talked about this year, whether it be the Manzardos

00:49 or whether it be the Churrios,

00:51 or even the Jackson Holidays for that matter,

00:55 I've always said from day one, Caminero's my favorite one.

00:58 'Cause everything I've watched of Caminero,

01:00 he does all those intangible things

01:01 that I want a young hitter to do,

01:03 where I think he's almost like a man-child, right?

01:05 He's just like, "Put this guy in the big leagues,

01:08 "I don't think he is going to fail."

01:10 I could be wrong, but I look at Caminero

01:12 and I look at the stats of Caminero, again,

01:14 26 hits so far and 81 at-bats, I mean,

01:17 that's just tremendous.

01:18 Six homers, hitting 320, his OPS is almost at 1,000.

01:22 He's a guy, again, there's nothing left to prove.

01:24 And I think by Memorial Day we will see him.

01:25 So if he's still floating around the waiver wire, add him.

01:28 Arobas Martinez is another piece too

01:30 for the Toronto Blue Jays that I think,

01:32 sooner than later the Blue Jays have to give themselves

01:35 a little influx of power and influx of offense a little bit.

01:40 Now, Martinez could struggle a little bit,

01:43 but that's the thing, I look at Martinez

01:44 and I look at Caminero, and Martinez to me

01:47 does have more potential downside.

01:49 Caminero has far less, but 11 homers

01:52 over the last 15 games here for the Blue Jays,

01:54 they've scored just 48 runs,

01:56 that's towards the bottom third of the league right now.

01:59 They're not scoring a ton of runs.

02:01 And then sometimes, you know, in your fantasy leagues

02:03 you wanna look a little deeper into the season too.

02:04 So if you have multiple Yankee starters,

02:06 there's a guy at AAA you should pay attention to

02:08 and it's Will Warren.

02:09 The ERA is a little high right now,

02:10 but if you look at the strikeout rate, it's very high.

02:13 It's above 9K per nine.

02:15 Will Warren's been pretty good here

02:16 for the Yankees in AAA.

02:18 And there's an opportunity there,

02:19 potentially at some point, if you have an injury

02:21 to a Rodon or a Strollman or some of these guys

02:24 in the RDS or potentially at some point

02:26 Garrett Cole does not return for whatever reason,

02:28 Will Warren could be a stopgap guy.

02:31 So just kind of circle, put him on the watch list

02:33 'cause that's another player too,

02:34 that I think could be interesting as time goes on.
