00:00jacob wilson of the a's is just been fantastic man i mean one of the best picks in fantasy

00:05you know this this is kind of like you know having george let's be honest like luis arise

00:11with a guy who's hitting some home runs right like i mean 363 in a fantasy league this guy's

00:16been great maybe you're gonna say help by the ballpark probably true eight home runs 34 runs

00:21driven in five steals this is why this is by the way the only reason why i cannot buy caglione to

00:29win rookie of the year i just can't do it this guy's been too good yeah listen i like caglione a lot i

00:34think over the course of their careers caglione's a much better player but wilson i i don't know how

00:39i don't know how kags other than an injury to wilson catch him for rookie of the year i just don't know

00:43you know what has been that good here he's got the most three hit games in baseball i had another one

00:48last night uh so uh could the ballpark and aiding the home runs sure but guess what he's playing

00:54there for the next three years so you know worry about that four years down the line now when they

00:58go to vegas uh yeah no wilson's been great here uh i mean a fine he's really been a fine there's no

01:05one really saw this coming especially the power i really thought he might be he's more of a punch

01:09and judy guy i'm more of an arise guy as you say he's on base great but not getting a lot of bombs

01:13like i said maybe it is because of playing in uh sacramento well guess what he's there all right

01:18he's gonna be there for three more years here so i know it doesn't matter here whether it's helped

01:21him or not here we don't care we only care that he puts those numbers up and he's doing that and

01:25i do expect to win rookie of the year all right so then so the national league rookie of the year

01:29could be down to these two players george it could be down to the two who we just discussed

01:32drake baldwin of the atlanta braves 3 10 7 home runs 18 runs driven in but look at augustin

01:40ramirez he's sort of like right there with him doesn't necessarily have the batting average that

01:45baldwin has but uh both guys gonna play a lot the rest of the year i think ramirez is gonna

01:51probably end up hitting more home runs in baldwin if you look on fan duel this is like pretty much

01:55neck and neck right now now obviously the rookie of the year in the nl would have been smith shauver

02:01had he not gotten hurt and now clearly is out for the season i think uh gonna be a tight race here

02:07it is going to be a tight race now atlanta sort of has some decisions to make you got sean murphy

02:13right uh where miami really doesn't ramirez should play uh do they trade murphy you know

02:20it's gonna be that kind of year for atlanta you might want to trade him anyway but uh

02:24well and baldwin sort of came out of nowhere i mean in some ways sort of ramirez uh but he had a

02:28little bit more valley healed than uh baldwin here it should be an interesting race all right

02:32because atlanta at some point you know we gotta play baldwin's gotta play he's gotta play you know

02:36four or five days a week because we need to win and he's hitting you know not that murphy's not

02:39hitting murphy's actually started off pretty well also here but uh right now i'd probably go with

02:44baldwin as well oh maybe they're gonna keep platooning here he's on the correct side of the

02:48platoon anyway as he's the left-handed bat so maybe just works itself out there here uh it'd be funny

02:53uh because it's miami i think ball uh ramirez would have to beat out baldwin rather than if it's

03:00tied i think well it's got the advantage here but the thing is i think a rear is going to hit a lot

03:03more home runs i think he could hit 25 you know and that's going to help out with the uh the voters

03:07you're going to like that that nice number there the power number here so it'll be close going down

03:11the stretch though it's been a nice season for catchers we've seen marcelo mayer make his debut

03:15for the red sox not much to say about it thus far the big discussion for the red sox george has been

03:21the other player sitting in the minor leagues that's roman anthony who looks like he's just a superstar

03:27in waiting but george let's just call it what it is the red sox cannot call him up they're playing

03:34horrible they can't make this guy the savior you can't do that in major league baseball i mean he's

03:40gonna get called up george but they got to win some games they can't put that they can't put this kind

03:45of pressure on this kid coming up you're like six games under go out there and be the star that's why

03:50they're waiting well they also have no place to put him all right their outfield is fine i mean you got

03:56duran you got rafael who's one of the best defensive uh healers and a break was having a great year you

04:00have no place to put him out there this is why we're hearing rumors that uh duran can be on the

04:04move right san diego's interested listen 29 teams should be interested in duran he's a very good

04:09player here uh so uh we'll see if they end up moving him to make room for roman anthony here uh

04:15anthony i i do expect to be a star but we thought christian campbell's gonna be really good not so much

04:20struggling mayor you just talked about him he hit his first dimension home run last night yeah but he's

04:24been struggling you know so maybe they're thinking whoa back off here because i stopped bringing all

04:29these guys that we don't want to ruin them as you're sort of hinting here uh we don't want to ruin

04:33these guys either
