00:00but they got a kid coming up and there was a sign someone moved took some reps in the outfield that

00:05allows someone to move to dh which opens up a certain position for a certain young man let's

00:10talk about the athletics yes that young man and he might be a man child is nick kurtz and this

00:17graphic is wrong already because you know why he hit another home run yesterday he's up to seven

00:22now holy crap approaching 20 rbi the batting average almost 400 for nick kurtz look do you

00:30want to talk about a player a young player who's forcing the hand of an organization it's nick

00:34kurtz and he just got drafted recently this is not like oh he's been a couple years in the minor

00:39leagues no no no nick kurtz is that dude and the position maneuverability that you're hearing matt

00:46talk about is brent rooker playing a little bit more in the outfield this weekend that means

00:51soderstrom who can catch a little bit dh a little bit play some first base he was even taking some

00:56ground balls at third base apparently soderstrom is hit and he's been brilliant and i like soderstrom

01:02as a player i thought it was a good buy this year he was kind of one of my sleepers but i didn't think

01:07he would be this good to start the season nick kurtz on the other hand i did and you have to clear a

01:13path for nick kurtz at this point so if he is still available in your league and i'm looking right now

01:17in most leagues he is about 70 percent available you need to pick this kid up and most of that 30

01:23is probably just dynasty leagues anyway so if you're in redraft leagues please pick up this kid

01:28i know we've been talking about him every single week there's a couple guys on this list we keep

01:31talking about every week because we don't see that roster percentage move up and we're trying to sound

01:35the alarm that the kids are on the way and nick kurtz is a monster uh the power's off the charts

01:41he's a really good defender first base better than soderstrom too so he's not the dh he is the

01:47first baseman so let's clear a path for nick kurtz and clear a path on your roster as well
