00:00In fact, just keep me away from the rest of this lineup outside of Doyle and Tovar.

00:06Chris Bryant, Tyro Strada, Michael Taglia, I mean, Nolan Jones has a nice upside, I don't

00:12know if he can hit lefties, Jordan Beck, Jacob Stallings, like just because you're a Rocky

00:17doesn't mean you get drafted in fantasy anymore, it's just like a huge change from where it

00:21was several years ago.

00:23The Rockies are a mismanaged organization, right, we already know this, I mean, how do

00:28you not trade Ronnie McMahon last year, I mean, because you want to keep him as your

00:34face in your franchise, he's just not that guy, we're not talking about Todd Helton here

00:38or Larry Walker or Dante Bichette back in the day, Vinny Castillo, Andres Galarraga,

00:44keep going on and on with guys we always love to have here, so it's not good to put it nicely

00:49there.

00:50Listen, I'll take Doyle as an outfielder, absolutely, Tovar, Shorstop, though Shorstop's

00:54very deep, but Tovar certainly had a fantastic season, still plays in Coors, I mean, listen,

00:59Coors isn't what it used to be, once again, the Humidor has calmed that down, you still

01:02want bats in Coors, but Chris Bryant, no, that ain't happening, alright, but down that

01:08road, the old fool me once, shame on you, fool me two, three, four, five, six times,

01:12shame on me, Nolan Jones was awful last year, and I had him in a league or two, he was awful,

01:17I don't know what happened here, but see, he seemed to lose all confidence here, I doubt

01:21I'm touching him, maybe as a reserve, mentioned it earlier, every outfielder's gonna get drafted,

01:26as a reserve, fine, we'll see what happens, but if he doesn't get up to a good start,

01:29he's that first guy I move on from, you know, when the hot guy that we didn't draft is available

01:34there, so, as you were sort of saying, Craig, there's not a lot to like here, it's the top

01:40three guys, and that's it, I mean, damn, which is shocking, just shocking, and we don't really

01:46know what we're gonna say about the next group of players we're gonna talk about, and I'm not,

01:50you could, I don't know if I've ever, ever had a rocky starting pitcher on any fantasy team.

01:56I think I had Jeff Francis once, remember him?

01:59Jeff Francis, yes I do.

02:01He was pretty good, you know, go back to the lineup here, Sam, for a second, so, like,

02:07I think four through nine is a zero interest level for me, I'd rather have George Zach

02:13Veen than all of those, just because I don't know what he's gonna be, and I know he's their

02:16top prospect.

02:18I think I'd rather take him late than anyone else, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

02:23that I just saw there, because Veen has a chance to be a star, I'm like, ah, do I have

02:27a clue?

02:28I thought Brendan Rodgers would be a star, I was totally wrong about that, so, go figure,

02:32so we have two minutes left in the hour, we saved the least for last, Rocky's rotation,

02:38Rocky's closers, no thanks on all of these guys, good luck to you, yeah, I mean, Herman

02:45Marquez, on the road, maybe, do you have anything else to add here?

02:51Not interested in any of these, except Marquez, late, and on the road, if I can stream, if

02:56I can't, then he's a no-two.

03:00I generally only cross people off of my cheat sheets if they're hurt, but the Rockies, of

03:05course, I'm not, no, I don't.

03:08I mean, I just don't here, I'm not directing someone to play him on the road and hope he

03:11has a good road start that week, and even if he did that, by the way, well, he's still

03:14not starting against the Dodgers, probably not against the Mets or against Philadelphia,

03:18I mean, no, what, are you going to get five starts in the year, no, I'm not, I'm not playing

03:22that game, so, I think Marquez could be good on a regular ballpark, yeah, I think Marquez

03:28can play.

03:29I have directed their closers, but not this year, they're another team where it's just

03:32hodgepodge, you know, maybe it's Kinley, maybe it's Vortnick, who knows, you know,

03:38and by the way, just because they're a bad team, closers are still valuable, we need

03:41every save we can possibly get here, if they had one guy, he'd probably get 20, 25 saves,

03:46but they don't, you know, I don't know if any of those guys I just mentioned, by the

03:48way, are going to be that close at the end of the year anyway, so there's nobody who's

03:52going to be throwing the baseball here that I want on the Rockies.
