00:00There's some great opportunities to buy low. Joe, let's talk.

00:08Look this one's going to again, maybe be controversial because people are really upset about Corbin

00:13Carroll this year and rightfully so. He has not lived up to his draft stock, but don't

00:18look now folks because in June, somebody's hitting 283 right now. Now he doesn't have

00:23any homers. That's a little bit of a problem. We'd like to see a little bit more power.

00:26He's only got two on the year, two homers for Corbin Carroll, one, two, so far averaging

00:33one a month. Also not the best for Corbin Carroll. It's not really want to be if you're

00:38Corbin Carroll right now, but I will say this, encouraging the OBP has moved from 270 last

00:44month to 367. So Matt, what that tells me about Corbin Carroll, who now has a even strikeout

00:51to walks too, he's got six walks and six strikeouts so far this month. He's seeing the ball better.

00:56And this is that last trigger moment before the seeing the ball better turns into a red

01:02hot streak. This is the trend line. This is where it is and it can only go up from here.

01:07And this is an opportunity to buy Corbin Carroll because you know, whoever Matt manager has

01:12rostered Corbin Carroll is very frustrated right now. It is two and a half months into

01:16the year and they are pissed off that they spent a sixth overall pick on him and he hasn't

01:21done diddly squat to two home runs. That's it. Not good. But Corbin Carroll right now,

01:27again, the batting average going up, the OBP going up. Those are really good indicators,

01:31especially the OBP and the walk rate and strikeout rate. Marginalizing. That is a really good

01:36sign that maybe Corbin Carroll's finally figuring out what the league has figured out. And we've

01:40seen this before, right? Sophomore slump teams, make adjustments to guys. Guys have to learn

01:45to make adjustments back. The best professionals make those adjustments back. And I think Corbin

01:48Carroll's one of these guys is going to be a great professional. So I do believe he is

01:51showing you signs of making those adjustments back and that's time to buy.
