00:00All right, now let's go to some of George's sleepers here.

00:02And again, these are players that are drafted a lot higher.

00:05Zach Gelof, his ADP is 248.

00:07Oakland is now no longer in the conversation.

00:11So it's Sacramento.

00:12And really, we don't know how that park is going to play.

00:15But if we're drafting Brent Rooker very high based on that,

00:18why not Gelof, George?

00:19I think this is a great choice.

00:21And some people feel like it was a pretty lackadaisical year

00:25for him, subpar year.

00:27I mean, Gelof was projected to hit 260, 270.

00:29He only hit 211 last year.

00:31He did steal 25 and hit 17.

00:34If he does this exactly and raises his batting average 30

00:37points, that ADP should be inside the top 200.

00:41Agreed.

00:42I think I should be better than that.

00:44Now, the 211 is concerning.

00:46And why?

00:46You said a lackadaisical.

00:48What's going on there?

00:49I think all of the A's should have better offensive numbers.

00:51You're not playing in Oakland, all right,

00:53which is that cool marine air that keeps that ball down.

00:57All that extra foul territory, gone.

01:00Sacramento, it's hot as hell, all right?

01:02The ball is going to travel there.

01:03So I think they all hit their numbers here.

01:05I love Gelof, Rooker, Butler, Langleyers.

01:09I like all these guys.

01:10I think all their numbers go up.

01:11All their numbers go up.

01:13So yeah, I'm big on Gelof.

01:14I think his ADP is crazy at the door today, 248, 250.

01:16It's 10-team.

01:18I think it's 25th round.

01:19That's nuts, all right?

01:20I wouldn't have much problem with Gelof starting

01:22second baseman for me, more or less a middle infielder.

01:25The Ares concerns me.

01:26I think it'll be better.

01:27That's not saying much.

01:28220 is not going to help you a whole lot,

01:29hell of a lot either here.

01:31But I think he can, you said 240.

01:33I'll take that run with the bag he's going to get.

01:35I think he does get 20 home runs as well.

01:36I'll take that.

01:38All right, now Sam has jumped into the mix here,

01:41our producer.

01:41He's got one that he likes.

01:42So let's throw one out there for him.

01:44Ryan O'Hearn, boy, talk about a resurrected career

01:47in Baltimore, just toiling in Kansas City

01:50with those offenses, George, that couldn't score at all.

01:53And then all of a sudden he goes to Baltimore

01:55and he's a 15 home run guy last year.

01:57And a lot of people think that there's even more there

01:59to him.

02:00Now, young players are coming.

02:02And O'Hearn, like a lot of the Orioles,

02:04you made a really good point earlier in the show.

02:06A lot of those Orioles are not going to be able to maintain

02:10if they do not hit.

02:12Is Hearn going to hit?

02:15Yes, but you already said it.

02:17Where's he going to play?

02:18Mountcastle, O'Hearn, Mayo, Holiday, Westburg.

02:21I mean, you keep going on and on with these guys here.

02:24Kauser, O'Neal, they brought in, right?

02:26I don't know why they brought in O'Neal.

02:27They can't all play.

02:29They can't all play.

02:30The good thing about O'Hearn is he's the lefty, right?

02:32So he'll be on the correct side of the platoon

02:34if he's platooning with Mountcastle.

02:35So that could be good news there.

02:37So listen, I like O'Hearn.

02:39I think if he played, you know, you give him 500 at-bats,

02:42not even saying six, give him 500 at-bats,

02:44I think 20 plus home runs are coming.

02:46An average that won't hurt you,

02:48but it won't help you either.

02:50But right in the middle there, you'll be fine here.

02:51And he'll drive in 80 runs.

02:54I love this one.

02:54They brought the fence.

02:55I don't know if the fence is gonna help him.

02:56He's a lefty.

02:57But they did bring the fences back in here at Camden.

03:00I'm more for the right-handed batters, not left.

03:02So I like him.

03:03I just don't know where the playing time is.

03:05Once again, as a utility DH guy on your bench,

03:09a backup, like that a lot.

03:11Yeah, and finally, we go for some stolen bases here.

03:14We got Sal Frelick, 18 stolen bases.

03:17We know he's not gonna hit for a ton of power.

03:19The one thing, George, that's good about him,

03:20every day, right?

03:21Plays great defense.

03:23You know you're getting 500-plate appearances of healthy.

03:26Yeah, once again, bags.

03:27All right, bags and errors is not gonna hurt you there.

03:30So yeah, I have no problem with Sal Frelick here.

03:33Once again, these are the kind of guys

03:34that I need to draft more of.

03:36And I know that,

03:36because I need to protect my stolen bases,

03:38which I don't do a good job of.
