00:00Uh, you said you like the Royals, uh, everybody, of course, is pumping up this Bobby Witt Jr.

00:05He's the co-favorite for MVP before the season starts with Judge in the AL.

00:10They are both 3-1, uh, they finished 1-2 last year.

00:14Gunnar Henderson, Corey Seager, Vladdy Jr., I think he's gonna have a real big year.

00:18Jordan Alvarez, Jose Ramirez, and they got Mike Trout on there, too, at 16-1, you wanna

00:23take a ride with Mike Trout, uh, being MVP.

00:26Yeah, please.

00:27Yeah, that, that's not happening.

00:28Uh, it's, uh, what they should have is an over-under on how many games he's gonna play

00:32before he's finished again.

00:34I, I'll take Bobby Witt based on, I already said that I like the Royals because of Bobby

00:40Witt, so I think he's the best player in baseball.

00:43All around.

00:44Like, okay, I think Soto is an intimidating hitter.

00:49I think he's the, the hardest out in baseball.

00:53But Bobby Witt's a complete five-tool player, an absolute stud at everything.

01:00He is a fantastic, complete baseball player.

01:04And Soto isn't.

01:05Well, you, you've already talked about him in the outfield, he said he's gonna win a

01:07gold glove.

01:08My ass.

01:09Gold glove.

01:10I mean, he's a disaster out there, so he can hit like no other, I'll give him that.

01:16But Bobby Witt's the best player in baseball, if you ask me, right now.

01:19And let's remember this, too.

01:21These MVP awards, in every sport, they are extremely narrative-based.

01:28And I think that Bobby Witt now is getting all, he gets a lot of gas.

01:32People thought he should have won last year when they gave it to Judge.

01:36Like, he, he's a little bit of a media darling now, as well.

01:40So I think that that's, as long as he doesn't get hurt, Royals make the playoffs, I think

01:44that it's a good chance that Witt's gonna win that award this year, as long as he's

01:47got some big numbers like he had.

01:48I mean, Gunnar Henderson's already injured.

01:50He's not even starting.

01:52He's not even starting the year, Gunnar Henderson, and he's the first one.

01:54I want to know, he's good.

01:55Nationally.
