Anthony Santander we just mentioned him actually goes from Baltimore to Toronto the Blue Jays
00:04
had their wallet open George nobody wanted to take the money so they found somebody it was
00:09
Anthony Santander six home runs 18 runs driven in and if he was hitting 260 we would say ah he's
00:15
off to a slow start probably ends up with 25 30 home runs 188 at the start of the season George
00:22
I mean this is not what they expected uh no especially in that band box remember right it's
00:28
Toronto I mean if they brought the fence in a couple years ago for no reason uh you would
00:32
think he'd have uh I mean at least double that amount of home runs here but uh I'm very careful
00:38
Craig when it comes to Tom's guy who traded or moved or during the overseas for whatever reason
00:42
and the signed by free agent whatever uh because you do have to get used to uh the new town you're
00:47
in the new city you're in and this kind of state the new country uh you're in so uh that does worry
00:52
me somewhat coming in anyway here but I did not see this I thought he'd be fine you know at least
00:57
put up 30 plus home runs maybe with an average that would hurt you I don't think if you were
01:00
drafting him you weren't drafting to hit you know 310 you were probably hoping 240 you know but you
01:06
want your 35 40 home runs and your ribbies and your runs and you're not getting any of this it's uh
01:11
it's a concern right now have to believe he picks it up all right now let's get to the Chicago White
01:16
Sox uh I mean look underperforming that's for sure with Luis Robert but I mean in the end he just
01:22
needs a new change of scenery I mean there's no other way to say it I mean they end up sending
01:26
Andrew Vaughn to the minor leagues Robert you could have made the case for them to do it here too
01:29
uh but I think that they're trying to showcase him at least for the trade deadline he's got 17
01:34
steals though and five home runs I mean look I can this is underperforming but I can live with it
01:41
George this sucks all right this is none of the for this sucks this is terrible all right he's
01:48
178 five home runs he did this last year as well uh I mean 17th stone but you're not uh no one you
01:54
didn't draft the Robert for a stolen bases right you drafted him for some power and some decent
01:58
average especially hitting in Chicago and you already said it the White Sox want to move him
02:03
and I agree with you he does need to change the scenery badly but they're not going to get what
02:07
they were hoping to get from him all right I know what Dodgers have some interest in because the
02:11
Dodgers always have interest uh but they're not going to get what they're going to get from him
02:14
even though uh even Olivia came out the other day and said hey I gotta perform better no kidding
02:18
you know thanks for bringing that up here but this is this is awful I mean nothing to do about
02:23
the ribbies there's not much offense there but the home runs the average that's going to get way
02:26
better here the stolen base I think it's just him trying to make up for what he's doing uh or what
02:30
he's not doing offensively here but this is this is bad at the pitching side this is the big surprise
02:36
of the fantasy baseball season there's been a couple and this is one of them and because he's not
02:41
pitching I think it makes it worse or does it George do you think that Aaron Nolan needed a
02:46
reset because he was not helping anybody in fantasy 49 innings pitched an ERA of six 52 strikeouts a whip
02:55
of 1.5 and uh you know clearly 6.16 earned run average is not getting it done you know there's
03:03
some speculation that you know he'll go to the minors get himself fixed a little bit but I mean this is
03:07
one of the you know really good pitchers in baseball not over the last two years after the
03:11
last 10 years this is sort of addition by subtraction right uh because now at least you're not forced to
03:18
start him always on the Phillies the car you're gonna get a W so I'm gonna put him in there this
03:21
you're not forced to start him here maybe he does need a restart you know maybe a break is good for
03:26
him uh they probably he might have a rehab starter too uh maybe he can fix himself here but I have I have a
03:31
lot of worries about uh Noah that is this might might be the end of him being a really good pitcher
03:37
you're playing a band box once again the weather's gonna warm up the ball's gonna travel further
03:40
I mean it's a time to trade Noah's probably ended here but maybe you can move him for something I
03:47
have my downs here but I'm gonna have a hard time uh starting on my I didn't draft him anywhere I
03:51
didn't really trust him they're the hard time uh starting him anywhere finally let's get to
03:55
Dylan Cease of the Padres really the Padres issue has been hitting it hasn't been pitching they're
03:59
coming alive a little bit now uh but you know clearly this is a disappointment Cease on San Diego
04:04
uh you know 4.5 earned run average if he has a three and a half rep in the season George it'll work
04:10
out yeah not as worried about Cease I'm certainly more worried about Noah than Cease I think he'll be
04:15
fine as well here maybe not Cy Young fine if that's what you were hoping for here but I think he'll
04:20
he'll get the job done also wouldn't shock me the Padres wanting to save some money they try and move
04:25
him at some point uh not that they want to but more they feel they have to that sort of thing so that
04:31
wouldn't be the biggest shock either
04:32
