00:00And it brings me to this next grouping here of 35 or 36, and

00:04it's pitchers now. It's Corbin Burns, newly with Arizona, or

00:07it's Garrett Crochet, Garrett Crochet with Boston. So which

00:11offensive ecosystem do I like better? I want to be in on

00:14Boston this year. We were talking about now with the coal

00:16injury, what that means for the Red Sox overall. I'm going to

00:19take Garrett here over Corbin Burns, but what's your thought?

00:25I'm in agreement with you. Corbin Burns faded a little bit

00:29in the second half for me. He is still a very good pitcher, a

00:33fantasy ace. But I keep going back to the same thing was like,

00:36I feel like I can find Pablo Lopez a few rounds later. It's

00:39not that different. So I like the landing spot for him. It's a

00:43good lineup, he's gonna get lots of run support. But Garrett

00:46Crochet's strikeout potential is off the chart. Last year in 146

00:50innings, that K per nine was 12.88. One of the best

00:53investments I think you can make right now, if you look in most

00:56markets, your Garrett Crochet is it usually the third or even

01:00fourth guy on the board to lead the league in strikeouts. Now,

01:03the concern is the innings, right? Well, how many innings

01:05does he throw? But I think you can say the same thing about

01:08Paul skeins, who's the leader plus 350 Garrett crochet is a

01:11plus 850 to lead the league in strikeouts. I will take Garrett

01:15crochet. I'm curious to see what it looks like when you have, you

01:21know, when you change your socks from white to red, and all of a

01:23sudden, there's expectations and the media is different. And if

01:25you have a bad start, if you have a bad start, the fans get

01:28on you a little bit more, right? You know, this is a very

01:31different environment that he's going to where there's a lot

01:34more expectations. And I think those expectations are going to

01:36be exasperated. Now that you have the Garrett Cole injury and

01:39the Yankees looking like they're a little bit on the uneasy

01:42ground. So crochet to me has all that upside. If you are somebody

01:47that desperately wants to get in the pitching market, but doesn't

01:49want to pass on offense, Garrett crochet is your guy in the third

01:52round, lock it up, and just take him be aggressive in the third

01:55round, because I think that's the guy that could match Google

01:57and skeins. But at the end of the day isn't going to cost you

02:01a Vlad Guerrero or a Lindor or Fernando Tatis in your lineup.

02:05All right, with the time that we have left, let's go to ADP 43

02:08or 44. And Joe, I'm going to turn you loose here because the

02:10name on the back of the jersey is what's drawing people. You

02:13could build Jose Altuve much later in your draft. It's Jose

02:16Altuve at 43 or Aniel Cruz has dual position eligibility now at

02:2044. Where do you land?

02:22Well, both these guys right infielders moving to the

02:24outfielder Altuve is going to move into the outfield. He'll be

02:26outfield eligible in most leagues by the end of April. But

02:30I gotta tell you, you know, at 35 years old, without Altuve

02:33changing position, sometimes that doesn't always go well, I'm

02:35going to go with the younger guy here, the athlete that is Aniel

02:37Cruz and look for him to build on the upside. He's not going to

02:40give me the batting average, he's got more swing and miss. I

02:43think the power speed upside is greater.
