All right, now let's go to some of George's sleepers here.
00:02
And again, these are players that are drafted a lot higher.
00:05
Zach Gelof, his ADP is 248.
00:07
Oakland is now no longer in the conversation.
00:11
So it's Sacramento.
00:12
And really, we don't know how that park is going to play.
00:15
But if we're drafting Brent Rooker very high based on that,
00:18
why not Gelof, George?
00:19
I think this is a great choice.
00:21
And some people feel like it was a pretty lackadaisical year
00:25
for him, subpar year.
00:27
I mean, Gelof was projected to hit 260, 270.
00:29
He only hit 211 last year.
00:31
He did steal 25 and hit 17.
00:34
If he does this exactly and raises his batting average 30
00:37
points, that ADP should be inside the top 200.
00:41
Agreed.
00:42
I think I should be better than that.
00:44
Now, the 211 is concerning.
00:46
And why?
00:46
You said a lackadaisical.
00:48
What's going on there?
00:49
I think all of the A's should have better offensive numbers.
00:51
You're not playing in Oakland, all right,
00:53
which is that cool marine air that keeps that ball down.
00:57
All that extra foul territory, gone.
01:00
Sacramento, it's hot as hell, all right?
01:02
The ball is going to travel there.
01:03
So I think they all hit their numbers here.
01:05
I love Gelof, Rooker, Butler, Langleyers.
01:09
I like all these guys.
01:10
I think all their numbers go up.
01:11
All their numbers go up.
01:13
So yeah, I'm big on Gelof.
01:14
I think his ADP is crazy at the door today, 248, 250.
01:16
It's 10-team.
01:18
I think it's 25th round.
01:19
That's nuts, all right?
01:20
I wouldn't have much problem with Gelof starting
01:22
second baseman for me, more or less a middle infielder.
01:25
The Ares concerns me.
01:26
I think it'll be better.
01:27
That's not saying much.
01:28
220 is not going to help you a whole lot,
01:29
hell of a lot either here.
01:31
But I think he can, you said 240.
01:33
I'll take that run with the bag he's going to get.
01:35
I think he does get 20 home runs as well.
01:36
I'll take that.
01:38
All right, now Sam has jumped into the mix here,
01:41
our producer.
01:41
He's got one that he likes.
01:42
So let's throw one out there for him.
01:44
Ryan O'Hearn, boy, talk about a resurrected career
01:47
in Baltimore, just toiling in Kansas City
01:50
with those offenses, George, that couldn't score at all.
01:53
And then all of a sudden he goes to Baltimore
01:55
and he's a 15 home run guy last year.
01:57
And a lot of people think that there's even more there
01:59
to him.
02:00
Now, young players are coming.
02:02
And O'Hearn, like a lot of the Orioles,
02:04
you made a really good point earlier in the show.
02:06
A lot of those Orioles are not going to be able to maintain
02:10
if they do not hit.
02:12
Is Hearn going to hit?
02:15
Yes, but you already said it.
02:17
Where's he going to play?
02:18
Mountcastle, O'Hearn, Mayo, Holiday, Westburg.
02:21
I mean, you keep going on and on with these guys here.
02:24
Kauser, O'Neal, they brought in, right?
02:26
I don't know why they brought in O'Neal.
02:27
They can't all play.
02:29
They can't all play.
02:30
The good thing about O'Hearn is he's the lefty, right?
02:32
So he'll be on the correct side of the platoon
02:34
if he's platooning with Mountcastle.
02:35
So that could be good news there.
02:37
So listen, I like O'Hearn.
02:39
I think if he played, you know, you give him 500 at-bats,
02:42
not even saying six, give him 500 at-bats,
02:44
I think 20 plus home runs are coming.
02:46
An average that won't hurt you,
02:48
but it won't help you either.
02:50
But right in the middle there, you'll be fine here.
02:51
And he'll drive in 80 runs.
02:54
I love this one.
02:54
They brought the fence.
02:55
I don't know if the fence is gonna help him.
02:56
He's a lefty.
02:57
But they did bring the fences back in here at Camden.
03:00
I'm more for the right-handed batters, not left.
03:02
So I like him.
03:03
I just don't know where the playing time is.
03:05
Once again, as a utility DH guy on your bench,
03:09
a backup, like that a lot.
03:11
Yeah, and finally, we go for some stolen bases here.
03:14
We got Sal Frelick, 18 stolen bases.
03:17
We know he's not gonna hit for a ton of power.
03:19
The one thing, George, that's good about him,
03:20
every day, right?
03:21
Plays great defense.
03:23
You know you're getting 500-plate appearances of healthy.
03:26
Yeah, once again, bags.
03:27
All right, bags and errors is not gonna hurt you there.
03:30
So yeah, I have no problem with Sal Frelick here.
03:33
Once again, these are the kind of guys
03:34
that I need to draft more of.
03:36
And I know that,
03:36
because I need to protect my stolen bases,
03:38
which I don't do a good job of.
