00:00
We have Carlos Rodan of the Yankees, Sonny Gray,
00:04
Corbin Burns, who's now on the Arizona Diamondbacks.
00:08
Gotta love that spot for him, by the way, gotta be good.
00:10
Freddie Peralta's gonna start opening day for Milwaukee.
00:13
There is Caccucci now with the Angels.
00:15
Jack Flaherty went back to Detroit.
00:18
George Kirby, who, at times,
00:21
you think he's the best pitcher in baseball.
00:22
Other times, you wanna pull your,
00:24
whatever's left of your hair out,
00:25
or mine in this case, or George's.
00:27
Bailey Ober on Minnesota.
00:28
Had a nice little breakout last year for him.
00:30
Tanner Bibby, and then Sean Mania,
00:33
who I will say hello to, and wave,
00:36
and pass on Fantasy Baseball Trap Day
00:39
with the New York Mets.
00:41
Not happening for me.
00:43
So, needless to say, look,
00:44
there's a lot of good names here.
00:46
I just would be careful off last year's scoring.
00:48
That's probably the best way to say it.
00:51
Yeah, Burns should be better than 13, right?
00:54
He did tail off a little bit, both were at the end there,
00:57
but I'll take him as my SP1, no problem here.
01:01
Kirby, I gotta tell you, Craig,
01:03
he's a guy I dark horse for so young, all right?
01:07
I like him that much.
01:08
I am definitely a Kirby guy here.
01:10
It's funny what you said about Mania,
01:12
because I was gonna say, do we believe?
01:14
Obviously, Craig does not,
01:15
and I have my doubts as well, by the way.
01:17
I mean, he's sort of going to that Chris Sale mode,
01:20
the way he changed his arm angle here.
01:22
I need to see it again.
01:23
You know, once again, one year wonder.
01:25
I won't have him all that much this year.
01:26
We'll see what happens.
01:27
The Mets need him,
01:28
because if the Mets don't make a move,
01:29
I mean, if a Dylan sees another starting pitcher here,
01:32
hard to see whether they're not the third best team
01:34
in that division.
01:35
They just don't have the pitching.
01:36
They just don't have it.
01:37
They need Mania to be that ace.
01:39
So I don't know.
01:40
Maybe he will be, maybe he won't, you know?
01:43
So we'll see there.
01:44
But Kirby is definitely my guy here.
01:47
Flaherty's more of an innings guy.
01:49
I think he'll do well in Detroit with that ballpark.
01:51
Plays well with the pitches here.
01:52
Peralta, gonna open the season at Yankee Stadium
01:55
against Garrett Cole.
01:57
All right, let me give you the names that didn't make it.
02:00
Yamamoto on the Dodgers, George.
02:02
You know, clearly Garrett Crochet.
02:04
What are we doing about the Dodgers, Greg?
02:07
What do you mean?
02:09
Yamamoto, Glasnow, Sasaki, Kershaw.
02:13
I mean, they have stars up their asses.
02:15
They're going through a six-man rotation.
02:18
Yeah, forget Kershaw, okay?
02:20
Kershaw got $7 million, okay?
02:23
That $7 million is for like August, okay?
02:26
I mean, so move on from that.
02:28
He's not pitching for a while.
02:29
Yamamoto is definitely in place.
02:31
Sasaki is definitely in play.
02:34
Ohtani, I mean, Ohtani's pitching right now.
02:37
So how many starts does he make this year?
02:39
12, 13, probably, around there.
02:42
So I don't know what your, I mean,
02:44
your question is what do we do with the Dodgers?
02:45
You draft a lot of Dodgers.
02:47
I mean, that's, I mean, six points.
02:49
I'll stay away from their pitching.
02:49
There's too many of them.
02:50
These guys are gonna pitch.
02:52
Yamamoto, Ohtani, even makes 20 starts anymore.
02:57
So I'm in on that.
02:59
Here's, let me throw some others at you.
03:01
Imanaga on the Cubs.
03:04
Frambo Valdez on Houston.
03:05
I think I'd rather have him than a lot of those guys
03:07
that we, them than a lot of those guys.
03:08
Max Freed, who's on the Yankees.
03:10
Hunter Green on Cincinnati.
03:12
I should probably try to look up what I'm talking.
03:15
Joe Ryan, Minnesota.
03:17
Zach Allen, Arizona, another good name there.
03:19
Justin Steele on the Cubs.
03:22
Jared Jones, Pittsburgh.
03:24
Seattle has like, how many starting pitchers
03:26
does Seattle have?
03:27
Is it, they have Miller, who's really good too.
03:27
I want to trade one for offense, Seattle.
03:29
Might want to trade one of those guys for my offense there.
03:33
I'm gonna stop there.
03:34
We'll stand on offense.
03:35
These guys are all good.
03:39
It's, you gotta find a guy that's gonna not get hurt,
03:41
who's gonna make 25 plus starts.
03:42
Logan Webb, find a guy, easy for you to say.
03:46
That's what it comes down to.
03:46
If she finds a guy that's not gonna get hurt.
03:48
That's what it comes down to.
03:49
All these guys are good.
03:50
Every guy you mention can be good for your fantasy team,
03:52
but we have to find the ones that are going to pitch,
03:54
which is why I'm not gonna go with the Dodger guys,
03:56
because they're not, none of those guys
03:57
are making 25 plus starts.
03:58
Not one of them.
