00:00but i'll let you take it away let's talk about the 2025 busts yeah and it's hard because you have
00:07players you want to be patient with especially veterans especially guys with proven track
00:10records and marcus simeon has got to be i think of all of the bus and there's been a bunch we're
00:15going to talk about the guys that have underperformed more as the show goes on and they
00:19become really interesting by lows but i think marcus simeon we're kind of at a strange impasse
00:23right now he's been dropped in the order in texas and the rangers just collectively really haven't
00:27hit langford's had some moments jake berger was so bad he got sent back down he's hit a little bit
00:32recently now you have a jock peterson injury cory seager we're still waiting weeks away so marcus
00:38simeon i think is the most puzzling look at the first 49 50 games for him just three homers 17 rbi
00:43hitting 178 and i'd love to be here telling you that oh well the expected batting average is 280.
00:50it's not it's 229 the expected slugging is 379 so he has earned all this and when you're looking at
00:58barrel rates and hard hit rates and all the nerd stats that you try to cling on to for dear life
01:03to hope somehow that a player is going to bail himself out of a slump it's a very blue and i mean
01:10blue color and blue sadness and depression wise baseballs of on page when you look at marcus simeon so
01:17it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now it's just difficult to see and this is a
01:22a player matt where you look at the three-year average of a marcus simeon he is 26 27 home runs
01:29he's gonna drive in 85 or more runs he's gonna steal you 16 bases he's gonna score 100 runs like that's
01:34kind of the baseline so to think that he's fallen off at this stage in his career already and he's 34
01:39years old i mean he's not 37 38 he's 34 it's it's really difficult and and i think there there can't
01:46be worse days ahead because this has been so bad but it's hard to think that there's going to be
01:51enough good days where you feel like you want to make an investment and i'm the king of price
01:55enforcing and buying low but it is really difficult to get behind what marcus simeon's profile looks like
02:00right now maybe you see it differently than i do when you look at marcus simeon and what he's done so far
02:05and what he's done in the body work in his career do you think he can turn it around over the next 100
