00:00Another buy low candidate comes from the Boston Red Sox. I happen to be a manager of this player,

00:05so I'm eager to hear your assessment. Take it away. Well, don't look now, kids, but yesterday,

00:12Roman Anthony was three for six with two doubles against the Blue Jays. And his deeper metrics,

00:16the hard hit rate's really good. The exit velocity is really good. He's just kind of struggled. And

00:20I get it. Like, his slashes 170, 313, 321 through 17 games. People are disappointed. But he's

00:28hitting the ball over 107, 108 miles an hour. He's making a lot of hard contact. And eventually,

00:33things are going to turn around for him. He ain't going anywhere. He's sticking in this batting order,

00:38probably in a pretty prominent spot. His expected slugging percentage, just so you know,

00:43is 500. 500. His actual slugging is 321. So Roman Anthony is the perfect buy low right now because

00:50there's a lot of people who maybe spent too much fab on him or waited very long. And now they're

00:54just disappointed. They're frustrated. I'm going to offer you Nick Kurtz as a perfect example,

00:59right? Nick Kurtz was crushing the ball triple A early in this year, right? We were pounding the

01:03table for him to come up. He came up and he struggled. Then he started to get hot and then

01:07he got hurt. And then he came back and he has been lights out. He's hitting home runs all over the

01:12place. He's confident. Patience. Cam Smith took him a little while, right? Roman Anthony, it's going to

01:17take him a little while. But he's a great player. And you know, when I watch him play, there's no holes.

01:23They are like, he's just a really good player. He just hasn't gotten a lot of the balls to fall yet.

01:26They will. Things will turn around. And maybe yesterday is the beginning of that. Now is the

01:31time to buy in Roman Anthony, whether it's redraft, whether it's keeper league, dynasty league,

01:35doesn't matter. This is your window. This is your public service announcement to get it done.

01:40Because after this, I guarantee you, you won't have too many chances available.
