00:00But here are some of the leaders from scoring from last season.

00:03You're just never going to catch me taking a closer high ever.

00:07Helsey is back with St. Louis again.

00:09He's at the top as well as Josh Hader.

00:10Presley now out of the mix completely.

00:12By the way, Presley, the Cubs closer going into this season.

00:16So we should probably make sure that we keep an eye on him.

00:20Colin Ray.

00:21How did he score?

00:21So what did I miss?

00:23How did Colin Ray score so high?

00:24He started a bunch of games.

00:26Yeah.

00:26Yeah, can't use him.

00:28Class A is back at the top.

00:29Kirby Yates signs with the Dodgers.

00:32Is he going to get saves?

00:34He's got Phillips and some other guys there too.

00:36Mason Miller's a fantastic player and I think a great option there.

00:42Mitch Spence from the Athletics also.

00:45Erceg, we should mention too, had a big year for the Angels.

00:47Nick Martinez on Cincinnati, a starter, reliever.

00:50Iglesias, Suarez.

00:53Look, it's a tough position to pick.

00:55I mean, think about this, George.

00:57Last year, one of the most saves in the league, I believe,

01:00was Finnegan on Washington.

01:02Is he on a team, Sam?

01:04Did he sign with anybody?

01:05Or is he still not on a team?

01:06No, I think he's a free agent.

01:08I think he's still a free agent.

01:0930-something saves?

01:10This is just the toughest position.

01:12I mean, we talk about Katcher being tough.

01:1438 saves for Finnegan.

01:16He's got no team.

01:18So, you know, far be it from me to try to predict the top.

01:21I guess, for those people who believe in the elite tiers,

01:25it's healthy, it's hater, it's class A.

01:29You know, Cleveland also has, I forget his name, the setup guy

01:33for Cleveland's also fantastic, too.

01:34He had a big year as well.

01:37It's, you're looking at it now, and this list is scary.

01:41It's sort of like, you know, the list of those couple positions

01:44we talked about, second base, first base.

01:46If you don't get one of the first couple, you might as well

01:48wait forever.

01:49And some people do that anyway, right?

01:50They don't believe in drafting early pitches anywhere near

01:53early.

01:54It's too volatile a position, you know, back when you did

01:56a lot of writing here with Daly Roto, I used to write the

01:59closer report, and my first column, which would come out

02:02right about now, would always, the first paragraph would say

02:05of over 30 close, I'm going to list here right now, half

02:08won't have the job by all-star break.

02:10For whatever reason, poor performance, you know, it's just

02:13every year.

02:13It's a, it's a volatile position.

02:15You're just better off waiting here.

02:17Sure.

02:17I'd love to have class A.

02:18Devin Williams, hater, Diaz, Helsley, Miller.

02:22Maybe I put a Glacius of Atlanta in here.

02:24I don't think he's a great closer there, but he's going

02:26to be the guy in there.

02:27Bautista, what do we feel about him?

02:29He was played two years ago.

02:31I like him.

02:31I would take a, I would, I would go down that road.

02:34I would probably get, make sure I get Cano too, but I would

02:38go down that road.

02:39Yes, I mean, that's, I think it'd be a must here.

02:42And by the way, from the Dodgers, they said that, I think

02:44it was Tannis Scott's gonna get first shot in April, and then,

02:47but they have too many guys there.

02:48Yates is not gonna be forgotten about it.

02:50If Tannis Scott slips up at all, Yates is gonna get his

02:53options as well.

02:54What do we think about Alexis Diaz?

02:56I'm in on the Reds again.

02:57I think they're gonna, I think they have a good shot here.

02:59How about Edwin?

02:59Wild card run here.

03:02Edwin Diaz?

03:02I didn't hear, I'm sorry.

03:06He would be in my, my top five, I think.

03:09I think I'll go back to the well there.

03:12But, but Mason Miller's numbers were incredible, man.

03:15Like it, how did Oakland come up with like three guys on

03:18the back end of that bullpen last year with him and Erceg?

03:20It's crazy.

03:23What a, it's a good bullpen.

03:25And once again, we, we don't know about the bullpen, we'd

03:27say that, but I think it's gonna be more of a pitcher's

03:29park than a hitter's park there.

03:30So I, I think we're gonna hear about Miller all year long

03:33too, Craig.

03:33All we're gonna hear about him is about being traded to

03:35another team.

03:36Because everyone's gonna want to be interested.

03:37I'm thinking Oakland's going to, you know, figure out

03:39by the time we're good, he'll be up in his free agent years

03:42and, you know, and we don't want to spend money on him.

03:44So maybe we'll hear that all season.

03:46But it doesn't matter because if he goes to a new team,

03:48he'll be a closer there.

03:49All right, he is that good.

03:50Love Miller.

03:51And by the way, even if he stays with Oakland, Oakland's

03:53not a terrible team.

03:54He'll probably, if he stays with Oakland and they use him

03:57as a regular closer, he'll get 30 plus saves.
