00:03 Another guy who got off to a hot start that we've seen this happen before is

00:05 Jerickson Profar.

00:06 We've seen Profar have stretches where people pick him off the waiver wire and

00:09 then two weeks later end up dropping him back.

00:12 Now, it hasn't been the case for us.

00:14 This is two months now of Jerickson Profar with the Padres who has been

00:17 outstanding in 320 on the year.

00:20 Eight homers for him, four steals, 34 runs scored, 38 RBI.

00:25 Profar once upon a time was the number one prospect in baseball.

00:28 It's easy to forget that cuz it was so long ago.

00:30 He's bounced around a bit, but Profar, I think Matt and

00:33 I continue to look at each other and say, well, when is this going to stop?

00:37 I thought it was gonna stop weeks ago.

00:39 It hasn't.

00:40 He has still been a really steady player.

00:41 So I guess at the end of the day, Matt, you have picked him up off the waiver wire.

00:45 You continue to ride the wave as long as you can.

00:47 Baseball's a game of streaks and Profar is on a really hot one now.

00:50 For not a week, not a month, but two months now.

00:54 >> So I'm gonna talk in a language that'll make it easy for

00:57 everyone to understand.

00:58 If you're paying attention to this whole GameStop thing and

01:01 understanding what apes roll strong, all these things mean,

01:04 there are two types of investors.

01:06 You have diamond hands that hold on no matter what, and

01:09 then you have paper hands that sell quickly, quickly.

01:12 I've always been paper hands on Jerickson Profar.

01:14 He's that type of stock.

01:15 I hold him for small profit.

01:17 He's not a long hold, if you will.

01:19 I'm not getting rich on Jerickson Profar.

01:22 But for me, a lot of times I'm concentrating on much bigger stocks.

01:26 But right now as we turn the page in the calendar, if you're still playing with

01:29 some of these smaller players and smaller investable rates and time periods,

01:33 I think you're shorting yourself.

01:35 You're gonna find July 4th upon us really quickly.

01:37 If you're still in sixth place in a 12 team league, you've done something wrong.
