00:00The NL formats here are getting a new player this week, right?

00:03Like in Rafi Devers, did everybody save their money for this player?

00:07They knew this was happening, right?

00:11Yeah, I think, you know, Rafi L. Devers, I want to say a little bit better than like the last guy we got,

00:23which was Keaston Herrera, I believe.

00:25It's probably, yeah, he's probably going to break someone's bank.

00:31I don't think it's going to be me, not because I don't think he can be great.

00:34I just don't think I have the money in order to get him, unfortunately.

00:40Yeah, I'm assuming we have, in that league, we have a $1,000 fab.

00:44I'm assuming probably the highest person has roughly around $800, $900 still.

00:51I'm assuming he's going to go for upwards to $700, $800.

00:57I can't imagine anyone leaves.

00:59Someone's going to put all their money down on Rafi L. Devers, which makes sense,

01:03because like if you wait for next month's trade deadline,

01:08you're assuming someone's going to come into the league,

01:11and that isn't necessarily the case all the time.

01:14And then also, you're losing a month of time.

01:16So, if I had the money, I would spend it on Rafael Devers.

01:20I just don't have the money.

01:23Fair enough.

01:24Okay, if you're not going at the Devers, let's say you don't need the Devers.

01:27How about Mizorowski, if he's out there?

01:29The guy's had a great start to his career, right?

01:32As Craig has pointed out multiple times,

01:34the guy has more wins than hits given up so far.

01:36How do you feel about Jacob Mizorowski?

01:40Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say the comp on Mizorowski.

01:45Now, this might sound a little crazy for some of the old-timers,

01:48but he looks to me like Randy Johnson when he was first called up,

01:53and he couldn't find the strike zone, but was still completely unhittable.

01:58Like, this stuff is just so nasty.

02:00I don't know if everyone's seen it,

02:02but yesterday he threw a 96-mile-per-hour slider

02:05that just put Willie Castro on his butt.

02:09And it wasn't even like, I don't, like his stuff looks like you can't hit it.

02:14Forget scoring runs.

02:16I'm really surprised when people actually make contact with it.

02:19He is just so incredibly nasty.

02:22I think he's, what, 6'7", throwing 103 miles per hour.

02:27So you're talking about the extension on that.

02:30The ball gets up on the batter so fast, they have no time to react.

02:35I really, like, rookie pitchers can be super fickle.

02:39Like, there's a lot of unpredictability when it comes to rookie pitchers,

02:43but this guy looks so incredibly great.

02:46I would not be shocked to see him throw, you know,

02:50another 60, 70 innings this year of, you know, really solid.

02:56I mean, like I said, I don't know.

02:57Can anyone hit him?

02:59Like, he looks that good, which is just not usually the case.

03:03I don't know.
