00:00Anthony Santander we just mentioned him actually goes from Baltimore to Toronto the Blue Jays

00:04had their wallet open George nobody wanted to take the money so they found somebody it was

00:09Anthony Santander six home runs 18 runs driven in and if he was hitting 260 we would say ah he's

00:15off to a slow start probably ends up with 25 30 home runs 188 at the start of the season George

00:22I mean this is not what they expected uh no especially in that band box remember right it's

00:28Toronto I mean if they brought the fence in a couple years ago for no reason uh you would

00:32think he'd have uh I mean at least double that amount of home runs here but uh I'm very careful

00:38Craig when it comes to Tom's guy who traded or moved or during the overseas for whatever reason

00:42and the signed by free agent whatever uh because you do have to get used to uh the new town you're

00:47in the new city you're in and this kind of state the new country uh you're in so uh that does worry

00:52me somewhat coming in anyway here but I did not see this I thought he'd be fine you know at least

00:57put up 30 plus home runs maybe with an average that would hurt you I don't think if you were

01:00drafting him you weren't drafting to hit you know 310 you were probably hoping 240 you know but you

01:06want your 35 40 home runs and your ribbies and your runs and you're not getting any of this it's uh

01:11it's a concern right now have to believe he picks it up all right now let's get to the Chicago White

01:16Sox uh I mean look underperforming that's for sure with Luis Robert but I mean in the end he just

01:22needs a new change of scenery I mean there's no other way to say it I mean they end up sending

01:26Andrew Vaughn to the minor leagues Robert you could have made the case for them to do it here too

01:29uh but I think that they're trying to showcase him at least for the trade deadline he's got 17

01:34steals though and five home runs I mean look I can this is underperforming but I can live with it

01:41George this sucks all right this is none of the for this sucks this is terrible all right he's

01:48178 five home runs he did this last year as well uh I mean 17th stone but you're not uh no one you

01:54didn't draft the Robert for a stolen bases right you drafted him for some power and some decent

01:58average especially hitting in Chicago and you already said it the White Sox want to move him

02:03and I agree with you he does need to change the scenery badly but they're not going to get what

02:07they were hoping to get from him all right I know what Dodgers have some interest in because the

02:11Dodgers always have interest uh but they're not going to get what they're going to get from him

02:14even though uh even Olivia came out the other day and said hey I gotta perform better no kidding

02:18you know thanks for bringing that up here but this is this is awful I mean nothing to do about

02:23the ribbies there's not much offense there but the home runs the average that's going to get way

02:26better here the stolen base I think it's just him trying to make up for what he's doing uh or what

02:30he's not doing offensively here but this is this is bad at the pitching side this is the big surprise

02:36of the fantasy baseball season there's been a couple and this is one of them and because he's not

02:41pitching I think it makes it worse or does it George do you think that Aaron Nolan needed a

02:46reset because he was not helping anybody in fantasy 49 innings pitched an ERA of six 52 strikeouts a whip

02:55of 1.5 and uh you know clearly 6.16 earned run average is not getting it done you know there's

03:03some speculation that you know he'll go to the minors get himself fixed a little bit but I mean this is

03:07one of the you know really good pitchers in baseball not over the last two years after the

03:11last 10 years this is sort of addition by subtraction right uh because now at least you're not forced to

03:18start him always on the Phillies the car you're gonna get a W so I'm gonna put him in there this

03:21you're not forced to start him here maybe he does need a restart you know maybe a break is good for

03:26him uh they probably he might have a rehab starter too uh maybe he can fix himself here but I have I have a

03:31lot of worries about uh Noah that is this might might be the end of him being a really good pitcher

03:37you're playing a band box once again the weather's gonna warm up the ball's gonna travel further

03:40I mean it's a time to trade Noah's probably ended here but maybe you can move him for something I

03:47have my downs here but I'm gonna have a hard time uh starting on my I didn't draft him anywhere I

03:51didn't really trust him they're the hard time uh starting him anywhere finally let's get to

03:55Dylan Cease of the Padres really the Padres issue has been hitting it hasn't been pitching they're

03:59coming alive a little bit now uh but you know clearly this is a disappointment Cease on San Diego

04:04uh you know 4.5 earned run average if he has a three and a half rep in the season George it'll work

04:10out yeah not as worried about Cease I'm certainly more worried about Noah than Cease I think he'll be

04:15fine as well here maybe not Cy Young fine if that's what you were hoping for here but I think he'll

04:20he'll get the job done also wouldn't shock me the Padres wanting to save some money they try and move

04:25him at some point uh not that they want to but more they feel they have to that sort of thing so that

04:31wouldn't be the biggest shock either

04:32you
