All right, let's hit the shortstop position in fantasy this year, a little bit different
00:03
than in years past.
00:04
Remember, Trey Turner, a couple years ago, number one overall pick in fantasy.
00:07
Bobby Witt is now taking over the number one shortstop position.
00:11
Did you find it, this draft season, to be as deep as in years past?
00:15
It was always the premium position.
00:17
It feels like it slipped a little bit.
00:18
No, yeah, no, shortstop is pretty deep.
00:23
I, you know, when you mentioned Trey Turner, I was like, I keep thinking about Trey Turner
00:28
being the number one pick, because I remember getting him that year, and he wasn't very
00:33
good that year.
00:35
So it still hurts a little bit, but I think shortstop is pretty deep still.
00:40
You know, Bobby Witt Jr., as you mentioned, Elie DeLaCruz, who I mentioned, Gunnar Henderson
00:45
has shortstop eligibility, Lynn Doerr, Mookie Betts even has shortstop eligibility, Trey
00:51
Turner, as we mentioned, O'Neal Cruz, C.J. Abrams, Corey Seeger, Willie Adamas, who had
00:58
a great year last year, went to San Francisco, we'll see how that goes, Ezekiel Tovar, you
01:03
know, and the list goes on.
01:04
There's a good, like, 15 to 20 shortstops that most people should feel comfortable drafting.
01:11
As a, you know, as I say on Ras Ball, I really like drafting from a strong position, like,
01:18
you know, some people talk about position scarcity.
01:21
I like to talk about how, like, if you have, like, shortstops are deep and they're good,
01:26
you should have one, if not two of them, like, as in, like, a shortstop and a MI being your
01:33
shortstop, because, like, you know, if they have good shortstops, you want them.
01:38
You don't want to try and, you know, do bargain basement shortstops and have, like, oh, you
01:43
know, like, one guy has Elie DeLaCruz in your league, and then you have, you know, Trevor
01:49
Story or something.
01:49
It's like, you know, it's not going to work, man.
01:51
Your team's not going to be very good.
01:56
Great.
01:56
You got about a minute left here.
01:58
Mets and Yankees here.
02:00
Both make the playoffs.
02:01
One makes the playoffs.
02:02
Neither makes the playoffs.
02:03
Going to be a bad season in Gotham?
02:07
Yeah, you know, I'm a little bit worried about what the Mets did with the pitching and the
02:13
Yankees.
02:14
I, you know, their pitching staffs aren't very good.
02:16
I know the Yankees brought in Freed.
02:18
They lost Cole.
02:20
I don't know.
02:20
And the Mets, like, they brought in Soto, obviously, who I love, but I don't know if they
02:26
have the arms, really.
02:27
So, yeah, I would be going for Braves and Baltimore in those respective divisions.
02:35
I don't really love the Yankees right now.
