Transcript

00:00And I asked, I tried to ask Craig Breslow about Roman Anthony yesterday.

00:07Didn't get much of an answer, but I think Roman Anthony Curtis had not one, but two

00:12dingers, including a grand salami yesterday in, uh, while playing for the Woo Sox.

00:18So the pressure is on there when it comes to Roman Anthony.

00:20I mean, I feel like it's kind of an underplayed story because we rarely have great prospects,

00:26but this is the best prospect in baseball playing at a level we haven't seen a prospect

00:32play at maybe since Bryce Harper.

00:34Like this guy as a position player is the best player, not in the major leagues.

00:41And once he gets here, I don't know if there's going to be a bigger star in the team.

00:48Like I just feel like he has the power.

00:51He's smooth.

00:52He's got the barrel rate, which, you know, that's how I judge my baseball players.

00:55I brought that up yesterday.

00:57It is a shocking 38.7 so far in this young season.

01:01So, I mean, I wouldn't know, but he has a great barrel and I just am pumped.

01:05I can't wait for him to arrive.

01:06I just, I understand the argument, which is you have the luxury of waiting, but do you

01:13really have the luxury of waiting when it comes to, as, as, as you described them, the

01:19very best prospect that there is in, in minor league baseball?

01:23I don't, I don't know.

01:24Sean in the car, the Twitch chat, Anthony is hurt.

01:27Why rush to bring him up?

01:28Uh, have you seen him?

01:31If he's hurt, then I want him here today.

01:33Cause when he gets healthy, he's going to be Babe Ruth.

01:36Yeah.

01:36I mean.

01:37Where are you playing him?

01:38First base.

01:39First base.

01:40I mean, can't you just unload.

01:44The guy just says I don't watch sports.

01:45No, I know you can't listen to these people.

01:49I think they hear something and they want to come at you.

01:52So they just throw something out that they've heard may have been passing or, you know, when

01:58they were hanging out at a rotary club meeting.

02:01And I, I, it's not accurate.

02:04I mean, the man, the man, the man had two, had two taters yesterday.

02:10I know Jonathan Carr says he's Lieutenant Dan.

02:12I didn't even know it.

02:13All right.

02:15Um, but.

02:16Play him at first.

02:17Yeah.

02:18I mean.
