Fantasy Baseball Today - 04/28 Fantasy Baseball Podcast: Early Trends, Thu. Recap, Week 5 Help

Episode Date: April 28, 2017

Revisiting yesterday's conversation, we explore SP depth and wonder if we were drafting today would we prioritize pitching more? What are the early numbers telling us? ... Discussing yesterday's standouts including Masahiro Tanaka, Chris Owings (are we buying it?) and Taijuan Walker. And there could be some bullpen changes coming soon! ... Two-start pitchers for Week 5. It's a weak crop but there are some good ones ...

Luto J-T, mid-round breakout, O'MG, no Lasco, just say no. Carasco, say, one, oh, par. Well, many of you were watching the NFL draft last night. Can't say, I believe you, hope you were watching our coverage on CBSports.com. We baseball people were watching Masahiro Tanaka's complete game shutout, Bud Norris getting another save, Chris Owings hitting two home runs. You know, well, that's kind of a lie. It's not like we watched all of them.

I did see that it happened. I don't know if I was watching it. And let's not talk about the second. best pitching performance the night without mentioning the best pitching performance of the night. It wasn't Masahiro Tanaka? It was Taiwan Walker, clearly. Well, okay, honestly, what's a more impressive performance? Complete game shutout with three strikeouts at Boston or eight scoreless with 11 strikeouts against the Padres?

I'll still go with the latter. Yeah. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. I would say that Tanaka's was maybe a little bit more surprising, but his ground ball rate way up. We'll talk about that. We got a lot on today's show. Noah Cindergarde biceps tightness, so that led to a bad start from Matt Harvey.

You guys had fun with the NFL draft yesterday? Enjoyed it? I thought it was the best first round that I could remember. Right. I loved it. And I'm just going to stop the conversation here, and we'll talk baseball. But I am so excited to do the fantasy football podcast today. Heath, you're invited, by the way.

3 p.m. we're going to record, so it'll be available for all of you. Fantasy football today. A little drive home on your Friday commute. We'll have it out for you almost certainly. We might be a little bit later, but you should have it at least for the weekend, and I can't wait to break it down, so please listen to that. Let's talk Thursday's standouts, and let's start with Taiwan Walker. I'll give you a quick preview of the show, though.

I've got to read some emails in the middle of the show, and we're not going to talk all that much about yesterday, because I want to look at some early season trends that you guys are seeing, runs scoring a little bit down, home runs a little bit down, DL stints are way up And a lot of trades going down in our podcast league And what we can take away from it Taiwan Walker

Yeah sorry he's got Taiwan Walker Eight scoreless or yeah No two runs sorry Did I say scoreless earlier? You did Damn Now I'm changing my mind It was two runs in eight innings again

No Tanaka's was better He gave up two runs to the Padres That's terrible No he was great Two runs in eight innings 11 strikeout. Does this change your mind at all about Taiwan Walker? I mean, if I had dropped him, I'm having second thoughts about that. I might be even putting in a claim for him again. I don't, like, I don't know that it's all that revealing, A, because

it's against the Padres, and B, because the reason we were excited about a possible breakthrough going into this season is, oh, he's throwing a slider a lot more. Well, he kind ditch the slider for this start through two seamer a lot more. Oh, really? So, you know, back to the two versions of the fastball, which, you know, even earlier in his career, produced starts like this sometimes, but then there was a lot of yucky starts, too. So I don't know that anything's really different here, but it's, uh, it doesn't feel like he should be available after this start. Well, Walker's 88% owned, so I'm not even sure I'm, like if I'm in a 10-team lead. On our side. side. I'm sure he's closer to like 60 on a lot of sites.

Yeah, I don't think it changes anything with Taiwan Walker, but if he had been bad, it would have for me. I didn't drop Taiwan Walker anywhere, and I own him in a lot of leagues. I wanted to see this start against the Padres. I didn't want to drop him and then have him strike out 11 Padres. But if he had been bad, it would have. So it was a, it mattered, but it didn't change anything. Yeah, one thing I've noticed the last two years, most of the leagues I do, are with either podcast listeners or CBS guys or industry guys or something, and nobody would have dropped Taiwan Walker. But there's one league I do.

I was telling people to drop them. Okay. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your thought. No, that's fine. But, you know, telling someone to drop them doesn't necessarily mean you would. It really depends on what's available on waivers, right? But, uh, okay. Anyway, the one league I play with, like, just random people, they drop guys that they shouldn't

drop all the time. I just picked up Dexter Fowler because he's off to a terrible start. Actually a great Mitch Hanager replacement for me there. So always look on your waiver wire or get notifications on your transactions because guys who are 88% own might be available in your league. What about his teammate, Chris Owings? 79% owned. Owings hit two home runs yesterday.

He's the number three shortstop in points leagues, number one in Roto. He has five walks, 18 strikeouts, which brings him down a bit in the points leagues. But now we've got four home runs. Closing it on his career high, by the way. And six deals in the early going of the season. Anybody buying Chris Owings? I'm in. Totally in.

There's no reason not to be. Nope. He's just, like, and it's not like you hear Chris Owings, and we've heard his name in the past, and he's been bad in the past. And so I think maybe we scoff at it a little bit, but he's 25 years old. Yeah. But he's never really done anything. I think his ownership's at a point where you can't really think about selling high on him right now.

Really? Because I think you can't. You're just not going to get much for them. I don't think you can sell high enough. Would you trade Chris Owings for Dansby Swanson? No. No, I have Chris Owings ahead of Dansby Swanson now, but I trade Chris Owings for like... Aledmus Diaz. Sure.

What about Jose Barraza? Like, I don't, it's not a... My buying into Chris Owings now is not a confidence thing. It's not a level of confidence. It's a lack of alternatives. And we know he has a varied skill set. So maybe this is age 25. Wait, wait, wait.

It's not like he's very far into his career. We know he has a varied skill set. He's never hit more than six home runs in his season. No, he had a lot of X. He had a lot of extra base hits over his minor league career. He was considered a prospect. I think even a better prospect than AJ Pollitt. Okay.

And he played second base last night. I don't see the, here we go. I don't know how many games he's played at second base, but he's already shortstop and outfield eligible. Okay, I can tell you. become like a super utility guy. He needs one more game to be second base eligible. All right. Look, Chris Owing,

79% own if you need help at shortstop. I'm going to guess he's way ahead of Christian Arroyo, right, if you're picking up, if you're claiming? Yes. Okay. Way ahead. A guy I think it's interesting to compare him to is Hernan Perez. Okay. By the way, four games at second base,

Heath, so one more for Owing's, and he's going to be shortstop, outfield, and second base eligible. I just said that like 40 seconds You said four? I thought you said you didn't know how many... I said he needs one more game to be seconded based on. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Geez, I was listening.

I just missed that. All right, Chris Owings. Good for you. We're buying in. We think you should be rostered. But I'm going to tell you a little bit later in the show, your top 10 Woba guys, top 10 Wobah leaders from April 2016.

And we'll see if there are any takeaways. Masahiro Tanaka, complete game shutout. He gave up three hits, no walks, three strikeouts, only 22 strikeouts and 30 innings. But, you know, obviously skewed after yesterday. Last year, Tanaka was 15th and points, 13th in Roto. He finished his 15th and points, 13th in Roto. Do you think that's realistic again from Masahiro Tanaka? Yeah.

No, my thoughts on Tanaka haven't really changed since the season started. Okay. And remember we said, by low, control's going to come back. He's always been good with control. Yeah, I mean, Velasty. looks good across the board. Great. Usage looks the same as last year.

I see in here you put that he's getting more ground balls. A lot more. But than last year. Almost the same amount, almost the same ratio as he had in April 2016. And then it normalized. He's always, he's right around the same ground ball, fly ball every year. So this could just be a little early season blip again, but it doesn't matter. He's, you know, turn things around.

Yeah. All right. We don't have to say much about Tanaka. Good job. But here's the other thing. should say about Tanaka, the Red Sox, your stat of the day. The Red Sox have scored five runs or four runs in Chris Sales' five starts. Terrible.

And they have scored 13 runs over their last seven games with three shutouts. So they're cold right now. How about Kendall Graveman? 80% own guys. Another good start. Two runs. Coming off the DL goes six innings, gives up two runs, no walks, four strikeouts. Which gives them only 16 strikeouts and 24 innings, but could you.

Graveman be like a poor man's Dallas Keiko, he's 80% owned? He keeps looking at me, like I have all the answer. No, I just, I was, I thought you should speak first on Kendall Graveman. I think he could be that, yes. I don't know that, like, I don't know that his strikeout raid can't get a little better from there because he's throwing 97. He was back, he was still throwing 97 in this start.

You know, the velocity's been high all year. and I don't know I don't know I think the ground ball tendencies with that kind of velocity it's extreme enough it's a hard enough a heavy enough ball

that the contact's going to be weak enough to make him a fantasy asset but if he does start striking out more too like that wouldn't surprise me I am going to go a little Dennis Green here

he is who he thought he was he's throwing harder but he's got a career 5.5.9 k per 9 in 330 innings. He's struck out 6 per 9 this year. He's got a career 4.4 FIPP. He's got a 4.0.01 Fip this year. I think Graveman's a good guy to have on your roster. I'm not trying to say that. I don't think he's like this start against that lineup with four strikeouts and six innings is just a Kendall Graveman start to me. Wade Miley or Kendall Graveman?

Graveman. Yep, Graveman. Chase Anderson or Kendall Graveman? Graveman. You're comparing him to pitchers I don't really even want to roster unless they have a good matchup that week. Patrick Corbin or Kendall Graveman? Corbyn. Graveman.

Definitely Corbyn in a points league. It's close in a roto. Kevin Gosman or Kendall Graveman? Gosman easily. Graveman. Graveman over Gosman. Yeah, Gosman kind of sucks. What?

You've been watching him, right? I mean, he's off to a bad start. I thought he was overrated to begin with. He's always been very hitable. But he's pretty much always been better than Kendall Graveman. Yeah, but I think Graveman's better. Okay.

I don't know. I think Graveman's made improvements while Gosman not emphasizing his split finger as much as going the wrong direction. Okay, but that could turn around. It will turn around. It could.

And I'll, you know, I'll be looking to scoop up Gosman then. I've already seen him dropped in a lot of leagues. I've seen him dropped in one league, and Heath broke the bank for him. I hope he's good tonight. I wish I had broken more of the bank for Gossmann. Okay, guys, anything that I'm missing?

Any major Thursday standouts that you want to talk about? Yes, I want to talk about the Matt Harvey situation. I'm with you, Scott. I am giving him a pass. It is rare that I get as angry at an organization decision-making as this. I don't know how the Mets could screw up this situation so badly. They had a game rained out. I've never seen a team handle their pitching staff so poorly.

It's like they don't even know what they want to do. We heard right after the rain out, oh, we're going to skip Gazellman, and all of a sudden he's starting the next day. And then Matt Harvey yesterday, he didn't find out until 10 o'clock that morning, the morning where they're playing a 1 o'clock game, he didn't find out until 10 o'clock that he was starting. that game. He had thrown the day before and all of a sudden he's thrust into

to starting this game. So, you know, first inning, he looks normal. Velocity's good. It has nice, clean inning. And then all of a sudden, velocity plummets. His control is nowhere where it should be. He walks five compared to one strikeout in the start. Like, it was evident just from the line, okay, something is wrong with Matt Harvey. And then we come to find out after the game. He didn't find out until three hours before that.

that he was pitching. And at the major league level. And, like, it'd be one thing if it was Bartolo Cologne, somebody who, you know, doesn't throw very hard and is old and has been through the ringer and, like, okay, whatever. Well, you know, he can handle this. But Matt Harvey, with all he's been through with his arm, like, why would they do that to him? That's just ridiculous. Well, the Mets have been very healthy this year, and none of their other pitchers are having any arm trouble. So, you know, I thought, I guess they just figured, eh, it's just Harvey.

No, I mean, the reason for this was that they had to scratch Noah Cinderguard because of biceps tightness, and that's obviously concerning. Yeah, but you don't. No, you don't. Not if you value it. No, of course not. Like, throw your long reliever out there, whatever. No, it was stupid. It was dumb.

It was really stupid. And, you know, people who tune in and see Matt Harvey throwing 91 miles per hour, given the mixed messages we've been getting about Harvey all year, they might be. Like, you could use this to your advantage if you're not a Harvey owner. be a good time to try buying Matt Harvey. What would you do if somebody offered you Noah Cindergarde right now? Would you still take it, or are you really nervous? What are they offering me for? They're offering you a little bit better than what you got for Bumgarner.

Let's say they're offering you like Danny Salazar for, well, that's a bad. Let's say they're offering because Scott doesn't like Salazar. They're offering you Carlos Martinez for Noah Cindergarde. I'm holding on to Cindergard. Yeah. All right. And I would trade Martinez for Cindergarde. I mean, the scenario presenting there makes me wonder if Cindergarde's not a bi-low candidate himself.

Although, like, he says it's not a big deal. The report that he couldn't lift his arm over his head sounds like a big deal. I don't know how you can look at Noah Cindergarde having an arm problem. After all, like, the little scares we got last year, that he was fine. He pitched through it, but I just, I didn't draft him because I worried about him having an arm problem. I think we all sort of feel that way. I don't know that you can feel so comfortable with Noah Cindergarde right now. Yeah, I wouldn't, like, I would not trade away.

Martinez is right probably at the cusp. Right. Because guys I have ranked ahead of Martinez, I would probably do the deal. So who do you have ranked ahead of Martinez? Like you, Darvish? I would rather have you. So you have Martinez what, is your 14th or 15th? Right in that range, yes.

Okay. If I could get a top 12 guy, I think I'd do it. Yeah. That seems My standout We should probably mention that Trey Turner Just had like one of the greatest

Four game series In the history of the universe And He He still has a 540 OPS Outside of course this year Yeah It'll be interesting to see when he leaves

The Rocky Mountains If this hot streak carries over If he just found it And he's going to be the elite Player that we expected or if he goes back to struggling just a little bit. Yep. I know McCutcheon as an example last year,

but I know throughout the years of doing this, I can't think of any off the top of my head. There are plenty of players who had big series at Cores and couldn't follow it up. I mean, there are plenty of players that have big series anywhere and can't follow it up, but, you know, everything is a little bit inflated. My goodness, did the nationals bring the lumber this week.

But really not a bad start for Antonio Sinsatilla. Not terrible, but the guy just, he doesn't miss any bats. and how can you be good at Cores Field with that kind of, you know, strikeout rate? Right. Sensitle was like 60-something percent owned. So he scares me, guys. I would not drop Kevin Gosman for Sensatella.

There we go. I would not either. I got to tell you guys about a quick special here, Sportsline. Sportsline.com. This is where you can get all your picks from all these experts. They're running a special, usually 99-99 a year. For one more week through the Kentucky Derby, 4999 if you want to sign up for Sportsline for a year.

Members are going to get derby picks from Jody Demling, a horse racing guru who's nailed the last seven derby winners. You can get MLB picks from Stephen O. He's on a 12 and 6 run. Mike McClure's Wobam model, which is outstanding. Larry Hartstein's on fire in the NBA. He's plus 2,000 on NBA picks, $2,000. So Sportsline.com, sign up now 4999.

It's a big time special. They're cutting 50% off. But Norris, 12% owned, last four appearances. He has got four saves, not giving up a run. He might be the closer when Bedrojan gets back. There is some speculation. Nobody seems to know. The quotes I read were very non-committal, but Socia did say something like,

well, now I can mix and match in the seventh and eighth innings when everybody's healthy, including Eustace. Yeah. Well, I mean, going in, you remember, Sosha didn't name Bedrosian the closer because he wanted to keep him flexible. He wanted to use him in the highest leverage situation. But, you know, since the Angels didn't have any other relievers, that pretty much meant even when Bedrosian came in the 8th, he was still

pitching the 9th. He was getting, you know, multi-inning saves there. And now, you know, now he might be, he might be the Andrew Miller to Bud Norris as Cody Allen, which would suck for Bedrosian owners. Yep. Would you pick up

would you pick up Bud Norris or somebody in the Blue Jays bullpen or somebody in the Tiger's bullpen? I might go Justin Wilson, then Bud Norris, then Blue Jays. Okay. Yeah, it would be a tough call, Bud Norris and Wilson. Because, I mean, we know Bud Norris is a bad starter, right? But I think it could end up being a Joe Blanton situation where bad starter really committed to a relief role becomes pretty good reliever.

He throws 97 out of the bullpen And he has, what, 15 strikeouts in 11 innings or something like that? How easy is relief pitching, right? That's what a piece of cake. I do remember way back when Bud Norris first got called up, which seems like ancient history, there was some thought even then that he might be better as a reliever because he doesn't have a diverse enough arsenal. And now we're finally seeing that play out. I don't know.

It's too early to say he's a good reliever, but I'm not ruling out the possibility. Adam. Yes, sir. How is the AM portion of team scam feeling about the start Jim Johnson as our only closer strategy for the second week in a row? I approved it. We're going to go two weeks in a row of facing teams that did not have one closer and not winning saves by starting only Jim Johnson. But the funny thing is, if we had started Krod, it wouldn't have made any difference either. It just would have killed our whip and ERA.

But Johnson struggled again, so are we looking at anybody in the Braves bullpen? Not yet. Not yet. A. Because there's not a clear alternative. I mean, a road is Fiskeiino is not off to a great start either. And B, like, Jim Johnson has pitched twice in 11 days. And there is only two bad outings of the year. Yeah. Jim Johnson's ERA has risen from 129 to 519 after his last two appearances. Right. Can you get a damn save this weekend, Scott? Can we get the category? I sure hope so. Oh, no, they're going to Miller Park. No chance. No chance. There's always a chance.

You think the Brewers are just going to sweep them? No, I just think it'll be like 12-run games. So the chance of the Braves winning a game and it being within three runs and Johnson pitching well. It's pretty low odds. I mean, all it takes is one. All it takes is one. Because we know he's not available to be. You can't get beat around like that and be available the next day.

Oh, you're available. He's just a day-thro. I don't know. Well, anyway, Trevor Rosethal. got a save, but that was because Seno No pitched earlier in the day. They had a double header. And Hector Neris bounced back. He got his third save with Benoit pitching the 8th.

We know about Cindergaard and the biceps tightness. Yoanna Cespitus looks like he's going to go on the D.L. with a hamstring injury, so that's the very least that keeps Michael Conforto in the lineup. Did you know that Michael Conforto had one of the ten best Wobas in the month of April last year? I had

completely forgotten about that. He was great in April 2016. Conforto hit three He's 65 with a 676 slugging percentage, and he doubled in six straight games to end the month of April. And then he was terrible. Yeah. You know what I remember? I remember in the podcast for the People League last year when I was terrible.

I drafted Conforto as my fourth outfielder. Finally convinced me to start him by the end of April. And then I stuck with him for like two months after that. Oops. What a disaster that whole season was in that league. man. Well, we're not going to have a repeat, Scott. Think happy thoughts.

Shelby Miller. Shelby Miller, on the other hand. Good. So far. No, we're fine. We're fine. We're turning it around. This league is my kryptonite.

We have a good team. I promise for making the playoffs. Shelby Miller, partially torn UCL. I think Archie Bradley is going to make a start for them probably beginning next week. So what do you guys say? Are you ready to pick him up yesterday? Chris kind of pooh-pooed it. Scott Heath.

I would have to see Bradley make a good start and go more, go five. innings pitching well before I'm adding him. Okay. George Springer and Jose Altuve sat yesterday. I think Altuvei pinch hit. Francisco Lindor hit a 456 foot homer off Chris Devensky, and he said, quote, I'm not supposed to be hitting the ball that far, end quote. Yeah.

Okay, Lindor got some pop this year. Arizona manager Terry Lavello said Fernando Rodney is his closer. What's the deal with Rich Hill, guys? Is he going to come back in the bullpen? What's the latest? What have you heard or read? You know, this idea is not dying every time Dave Roberts talks about Rich Hill, he talks about this possibility. So it just seems like there's enough smoke here that I'm now kind of expecting it.

It's not final. Roberts said Alex Wood would at least make one more start, which some beat writers took as even kind of a stronger indication Hill was going to the bullpen, except I don't really know what that means because there's no room for Alex Wood even before. Yeah. You factor in Rich Hill. You know, with a Rias up,

they're already dealing with six men. Well, do you think your Ria just goes back down? No. They've said he'll be up for the rest of the year, right? That's, yeah. They've had, I don't know if they have 100% said that, but they at least have hinted that. Yeah.

I think that's a long-term thing. Right. I think so, too. You know, I'm not, look, You draft, like, there's not much reason to think Rich Hill won't be, if he is returned to a starting role, he won't be, you know, really great ratios guy. And obviously you drafted him, probably anticipating there would be a DL stint at some point. So, you know, you're not dropping him before he even comes off the DL. You want to see the way this plays out.

And if they do indeed actually make this move with him to the bullpen. But then beyond that, I'm not sure, at least in Categories League, I'm not sure. you drop him even if he is put in the bullpen because I could see it being like sort of a Chris Devensky role. I think we are going to see a lot more of those types of relievers develop, you know, starting with Andrew Miller in the playoffs last year, and then it's passed on to Chris Devensky and just that multi-inning reliever with excellent ratios and 150 strikeout potential. Gary Sanchez will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday.

D.D. Gregorius will be back today. Is anybody other than me excited about this? Nope. Okay. Aaron's famous last words. Aaron Sanchez could start Sunday, which would move Marco Estrada to Monday, and Adrian Gonzalez sat against a lefty. Oh, I got to tell you about Indochino. Tuesday was a good day for me.

A rare day is like Heath sees how I dress every day on Skype. A rare day when I'm the best dressed person in a room, but I went to a ceremony on Tuesday. I got to wear my Indochino suit. I customized the entire thing, the pants, the pockets, lapel, the buttons, the monogram, the jacket lining. such a cool, unique thing to have.

Harper. Even with the shortstop thing? Yeah. Okay, gosh. I'd rather have Harper than anyone, but, Mike Trull. I did write on CBSports.com this yesterday that Manny Machado is one of the five hitters most primed for, quote-unquote, positive regression. I mean, he's got to, he's got to crush it. He's hitting the crap out of the ball. Yeah, it's tough with Harper. You know how great he is. You know how injury prone he is.

But, man, he's just been incredible. Hey, real quick, is Corey Seeger really this much better than Carlos Correa? No, Correa was also in that article. Oh, good, good Because, man, I need that. Come on, Carlos Correa. Hey, real quick, guys. Is Julio Arias really much different than Blake Snell? Yes, he is.

He doesn't have, you know, Blake Snell's minor league career was defined as much by his walks as anything else. It's interesting you bring up the walks for Eureas, though, because the little bit of time he spent in the minors, he did have a high number of walks, then obviously four walks and five and a third innings this first start. But three of those walks came in the fifth and sixth innings, three of the four, and one was intentional.

Maybe that's not even an observation worth making because for him to be effective in fantasy, he has to pitch into the fifth and sixth innings. But I just thought it was interesting. For most of that start, it looked like the walks weren't even an issue. I would say the difference is that he gets to pitch in the National League and he gets to pitch for a really good team. Did you know that, oh, let's see, I have the stat.

I have the stat. Where are you? Five of the top six scoring teams are in the National League this year. Interesting. Washington, Arizona. What? Quartz exists. Who what?

Cores in Miller Park. A lot of games there in the first three weeks of the season. Yeah, it's Washington, Arizona, Milwaukee, Seattle, Chicago, and Colorado. Last year, however, three of the top four were National League, but a lot of the bottom feeders were NL as well Yeah, no, it just occurred to me Like, I really like Arias and I really don't like Blake Snell And I guess the difference is

Aureas at least had some seasons in the miners Where he had great control Whereas, as Scott mentioned, not the case with Snell But it is something to watch I don't think he can be a high walk guy And be really good in fantasy So can I add one thing to the hay real quick Yeah

Just real real quick Yeah We do this thing at our day desks. Me and Chris and Scott all sit next to each other, and I will stand up and say trivia time and start giving the guys an opportunity to guess names. Right. And we do this and everybody likes it. I like it the most. They get really annoyed. Yeah. I think I know where you're going here. Scott and he's not paying attention. Right. He's not guessing. I'm like, what's Scott doing?

And he has a peep on a stick in one hand and his cell phone in the other hand. I'm like, what is going on? And then it gets worse. Scott sticks the peep into his hot tea and starts swirling it around and recording this on his cell phone. I'm like, what are you doing? It was revolting in so many ways. It was awful. It's on Twitter. What was revolting about it?

A peep? The story is not quite done. Okay, sorry. The best part for me was that after this, I tell Scott, well, you should at least put that on Facebook. He said, I think I'll put it on Twitter. But I don't really know how to put a video from my phone on Twitter. I was like, just put it on the app. I don't have the Twitter app.

I just go on to my browser on my cell phone. So Scott goes to Internet Explorer on his phone and logs into Twitter and tries to put a video on Twitter that way. So he downloaded the Twitter app yesterday. Good for you. Welcome to the Twitter app. Like, I don't, look, I don't really like T at all. but I'm not going to fault people for liking tea. But I am going to fault people for liking peeps.

They are, without question, the grossest candy or whatever you. I don't understand why people feel. Okay, I have a strong opinion. I do. I do. It's a sugar-covered marshmallow. And somehow it's so bad. Like, how do they screw that up?

It's like a sugar-covered marshmallow. I don't, I think this is what happened, and this is so, such a modern times thing. I think somebody famous decided that peeps are gross. No. And made a big stink about it somewhere. No. And that converted all the people who were on the fence about peeps, no strong opinion one way or another. It made them feel like they're not supposed to like peeps.

That peeps are obviously a gross thing. No matter how you feel about peeps. I think the stores are shelved with like stocked with them. The value of peeps is irrelevant. You stuck a peep on a stick and put it in your tea. I thought it'd be a funny image. And I needed to be in my tea. And it worked, by the way.

You said it tasted awful. No, no, it tasted like mildly sweetened tea. Well, I think your theory about peeps is just crazy. I think more likely a famous person had a peep got food poisoning and went to the hospital, along with like 70 other people, and we all decided, peeps are the worst. What are the worst? Everything that's wrong with America?

No, peeps are good. Hey, real quick, Scott White. Who are the top prospects to stash right now? Go. The top prospects to stash right now are Joan Moncada, who's 75% own, so that's pretty obvious. I think the second one is Louis Brinson, who is hitting like 380 at AAA, just like he did after joining the Brewers last year, by the way, and Keon Broxton is falling out of favor pretty quickly here. Okay. I think Louis Brinson, it's a good chance he's up before the end of May.

I still think that Franklin Beretta is among that group. He's been hot since the last time we talked about him. We say team in position. Franklin Beretta shortstop for the athletics. Obviously, they have a need there with Marcus Simming out for a long time. And after that, I do still have Bradley Zimmer among the five, but more for a lack of a turn. They've been pretty discouraged, by the way he performed to AAA, especially after he had. had such a great performance this spring.

That's Bradley Zimmer, an Indians outfielder. No pitchers this year at sea. Josh Stomont really should have made the list. He's been on fire for the Royals. I've only named four names. It's five every week in the column, five to stash. And the fifth one is a pitcher, Jose Barrios, who once again is rocking and roll in a AAA,

like a 144 ERA more than a strikeout per inning. The control's fine. I say once again that way because he was great at AAA last year and then came up to the majors and had an ERA over 8 because he refused to pitch in the strike zone. So I kind of feel like it's just a mental hurdle for him, and eventually it's going to click. Okay, Jose...

It'll start on May 6th, so I think Berrios will be up then. Jose Baruchston, right? Jose Baruchston. Nice. I mean, is there something with the twins where they just screw up all their prospects? I don't know. They are a quadruple-A superstar. stars over there.

Yeah. Well, thank you for the prospect report. So I want to talk about early season trends and some things you've noticed in fantasy. And, you know, DL stints according to ESPN.com article I read are up 12% over the first 25 days of the season this year over last year. Makes sense. 10-day DL. 12% is pretty big deal.

Do you think commissioners should add an extra DL spot? I think this is something we'll have to review all season long. I do think it's likely that beginning next year, I feel like the standard is kind of two DL spots, and maybe that standard will become three or four. I think we should, yeah, I think we should try to make the standard three to four next year. I don't think we should make changes in the middle of the year, though. Well, and it's too early to really know how it's going to play out. It seems like a lot right now. You could certainly, it fits the narrative that it's because of the 10-day DL.

but a lot of these players aren't actually coming back in 10 days either. Right. Yeah, but it is obviously easier to put guys on the D. All right, so let's wait until next year to make any commissioner changes. Now, runs scored or down. Teams are averaging 4.27 runs per game this year. Last year, 4.475. So 4.27 down from 4.475.

Teams were averaging 1.09 home runs per game this year. 1.09. Last year, it was 1.15. but what I don't have is April to April, and I know April is often a low-scoring month. However, it's been kind of warm this year, so I don't know if we can blame the weather. Okay, there is an interesting trend that I noticed today when I was looking for these that may have something to do with it. Okay. League-wide BABIP is 288. That's 12 points lower than what it was last year, and last year, it's been within the same range of three points for the last five years.

So that's a pretty significant drop if it's going to be 12 points lower. Now, the fly ball revolution that Chris Towers just talked about may have something to do with that. Fly ball percentage is up 1% over where it's been at any point in the last six years. Home run to fly ball percentage is down just a little bit. Infield fly ball rate is up just a little bit and line drives are down. Well, if line drives are really down and fly balls are really up, you would expect BABIP to be down. Well, I wonder if that continues, is batting average going to be the stat that we really need to be chasing in our categories leagues? We'll see.

Scott, you know, I think you probably would have helped me out on this argument yesterday. Because, you know, Chris and Heath, especially Chris, just don't, didn't want to buy in. But I was saying, if I had to give up Jacob de Grom for Manny Machado in a hypothetical trade, I would have to do it. But I would struggle to do it because I just, like, I don't have any pitching. I have very little pitching depth in a lot of my teams. And my favorite team, the one where in which I have the Grom is the one where I actually have the most pitching depth. And that's what I like most about the team. And yesterday I made a trade.

I traded Garrett Cole for Robinson Canoe. Yeah, you did. That's a good trade, right? Oh, I made, because this was a, this was, somebody put Robinson Canoe on the block in this league and said, you know, I want a pitcher. And I don't remember exactly how he worded it, but it gave me the impression it didn't have to be a like super ace pitcher like you'd expect to get for Robinson Canoe. But you were right. So I offered Kyle Hendricks and apparently he liked Garrett Cole more because he took your offer instead. But yeah, that was a great treat.

He made the offer to me. Oh, he did. Yeah. But here's what I was getting, because I don't want to just talk about my trade. Like, yeah, I like to trade, but my pitching stinks now. Like, my replacement from Cole, like, I got, you know, I'm a little unlucky. I got Mania, I got Gazellman. Like, I've got, uh, I have an ace and I have Salazar in that league.

I don't remember. Oh, I have DeGram and Salazar. But still, after that, it's bad for me. And well, pitching is just tough to get. But I don't know that you were, you could be completely sure it was better. I think the real thing about. pitching the real thing. The real thing about pitching from Scott Lights.

Can't beat the real thing. I think it's shaping up kind of like it was last year where there's such a small number of pitchers who you can confidently say, okay, this is a good pitcher who I can trust every time out. Cole could be that. I'm certainly encouraged by the way his last couple starts have gone, but it's not a long enough trend for me to say that for sure about him. I feel pretty confident I can say that about Jacob D'Gar.

Grom. So I understand your initial point about DeGrom. I mean, I'd have to take Manny Machado for him, too, because that's a first round caliber hitter. And I have no concerns about him eventually turning his season around. It's just too valuable. But your point, like, it's easy to come up with trades that make sense hypothetically. But you always have, as the one who's actually making that trade, you always have to think of the roster you're leaving behind. because you need to have replacements for the players you're trading away, obviously. And I've noticed this. I've been making a lot of trade offers throughout my leagues. Haven't actually completed a trade, except for that one you and I made together, Adam. And there are trades that I think make sense on paper, but people are just reluctant to give up players that are filling needs for them. Well, the point, yeah, yes, it's tough.

And I find it harder to trade in deeper leagues where I don't have any depth and I don't have replacements. But what I guess I've come away with, the takeaway I've come away with just in the last few days, talking trades, making the trade, is that if I were going to draft again today, I would probably put even more of a priority on pitching. And I was one who was putting more priority on pitching than certainly than Heath and Chris, probably about the same as Scott, maybe a little bit more. And I don't regret that. and I think I might even put more of a priority on pitching if I were drafting today. I want to get your thoughts on that after I tell you about Harry's razors, because, guys, I can't think of a smarter thing to do than get a shave kit from Harry's razors for free. Just pay three bucks for shipping.

Three bucks. You get this. You get a weighted ergonomic razor handle, five precision engineered blades, rich lathering shave gel, and a travel blade cover. All that for $3. How do you get this? Harries.com slash F3. F-B-T. H-A-R-R-S dot com slash F-B-T.

No reason to change. Less expensive, more effective. This is a great shave, a close, comfortable shave. And Harries is so confident in the product that they're giving you the trial set for free. So do me a favor, guys.

Right now, that's harries.com slash FBT, as in fantasy baseball today. Heath, what do you think? Should we put more priority in pitching based on what we've seen in the first month? I don't, like, I do have a couple of teams, specifically in points leagues, where I wish I had put

a little bit more priority on pitching. In the roto leagues I'm in, I don't really feel like that at all, because I feel like there's so many ways to get around it in Roto. There was, you can go a little bit reliever heavy. You can do a lot of different things. But I have struggled because when I've had two-star pitchers, they've been mediocre two-star pitchers. And it's so difficult when you go up against a team that has two starts from a good pitcher in a points league. You know how it said I was, Heath, that you got, listen to this.

You got Trevor Bauer on waivers, and I didn't. And I was like, damn it, why couldn't I have gotten Trevor Bauer? That's what it's come to for me. And I thought you were going to say you were upset because of my trade. What, you got Eric Thames? I got Eric Thames. I got Eric Thames. I have Thames on a team now. Congratulations.

Thank you. Team Thames. Yeah, I was surprised that that one, because the other day you had made a lot of Thames offers that sounded really good, and none of them were accepted. This one didn't even sound as good as a lot of those. Well, this one was a counteroffer from one of those. offers. A counter offer.

Jake actually, Jake and Casey actually made the offer to me. My own trade chart would say that that was a bad deal for me. What was the deal? Go ahead. I traded Eric Thames and Jared Eichoff and I got Zander Bogarts. No, that's not true. I traded Zander Bogartz and Jared Eichoff. Okay.

And I got Eric Thames, Elvis Andrews, and. And Alex would. Yeah, it was basically Ikoff and Bogarts for Thames and some guys who may be on waivers next week. Yeah, I don't think Elvis Andrews is going to be on waivers. I think you lost the best player in the deal. I think Bogarts is the best player in the deal. I did not want to go through the season with no Eric Thames. So I made it a priority to trade for Eric Thames in at least one league.

I, too, rated as he got the best player in the deal. But now I have Eric Thames on a team. and it's my best named team. Oh, Yasmati, money. Can I comment on the idea of drafting more pitchers or is that ship? Well, you know what? We got to wrap this conversation up because we've got to look at two-star pitchers. So you can talk about that, but what I need to know, and this could be part of it,

is early season trends, anything that you've seen that maybe has made you rethink your approach or just anything that you're noticing. Go ahead. Well, I don't know that there's a trend that would cause me to change. my approach, I feel like I should have taken a different stance on specific players, Thames and Richel being the specific two. I was too dismissive of Thames just because I thought, oh, he's not going to start against right. I mean, lefties, so he's not going to matter. And not really acknowledging that he could force that issue just by being as good as he was in Korea. And he'll, you know, oh, blister, it's not really a big deal. He's over that now. Well, if the blister keeps recurring and puts you on the DL for months at a time, then there's, you can't really just assume it's not going to come back. So those two specific players. But yeah, I have had, like, I'm better off in pitching than a lot of people,

and it's actually manifested the best in Roto leagues. I feel like my approach is actually benefited me more there in points leagues than in points leagues just because, I don't know, there's such a timing issue of when players are good and when they're not in points leagues, so you can bank that win. But I don't know that it makes sense to go back and think, oh, I should have emphasized pitching more because it's still such a small number of pitchers you can trust.

They're basically all gone in round three or four. Well, maybe you should have taken two of them. Maybe I should have taken two of them instead of just one. Yeah, you could have taken Madison Bumgarner as one, though. Look, there are busts across the board at every position, so I don't want to get too hung up on that. Like, who have we, in this nearly, what, four weeks time, who has joined the group of pitchers who we can say, okay, this is going to be a good pitcher, I can trust him every time out. Pretty much just Paxton, right?

No one else is quite... It depends. Like, I feel better about Tanaka than I did at the start of the season. Because I feel... She might be the only person on the planet who feels that way, considering Tanaka has a mid-4 Z-R-A and bad strikeout rate. I think Tanaka is so reliable, you know, season long, and more or less start by start. I wasn't concerned at all, as everybody who listens knows, I wasn't concerned at all about the early control problems. And he is the kind of guy in this pitching landscape that is really valuable because he is so consistent.

I feel better about Grinky than I did at the start of the season. I would like to see it more against non-Padre's teams, but I see that why you're saying. Yeah, and I'm not even talking so much, okay, I have more confidence. in this picture than I did coming in. I'm talking about I have zero worries about this pitcher. I'm pretty sure we all have worries about Granky still. I don't have worries about Grinky as a number two starter like in that range. I do.

But I don't know why you would be 100% confident in James Pexton after five starts. Because this is like the best case scenario of what I already envisioned could happen. Right. But doesn't make him worry free for the rest of the year. Scott. I mean, we're kind of getting into subjective territory, how concerned you are about a pitcher. But I have the utmost confidence in James Paxton. I would trade all but the 15 pitchers who I felt confident were going to be those kinds of options for me coming into the year, which was basically, you know, Kershaw through Cole Hamels. I feel more confident on a start-by-start basis, certainly in Dallas Keikle and also Marcus Stroman. But those guys don't really give you strikeouts.

I think the fact that Heath and Chris don't believe in Kikl, though, like, I don't feel like, I can say, Heikl 22nd now, so I've definitely moved him up a little bit. I just, I don't feel confident in him being an ace. But 22nd is, I'm saying the number of pitchers you can really rely on on that level is smaller than even 22. So just saying he's 22nd in my rankings, like, okay, Granky's around that range for me too. That doesn't mean, that doesn't mean I feel like I'm set at starting pitcher with that. that guy in my rotation. I think we're having two different arguments.

I do too. All right. So I think we should probably wrap it up. Let's, we can talk about that. You know, sometimes I get so caught up in talking about yesterday's action that we don't talk about kind of more interesting things from time to time. So we'll make an effort to, I think, May 1st, you know, we'll really take a quick look at April.

And, well, it was May 1st? May 1st is what, like Tuesday? At some point next week, we'll look back at April. continue this discussion. Let's see. I want to read some emails, and then we'll look at two-star pitchers. We'll finish the show at two-star pitchers for Fantasy Week 5.

This is from Jake and Casey, who's been wheeling and dealing with Heath in the podcast league. Sunny Gray, 73% owned. Grab him everywhere? Yes, I say yes, Jake and Casey. I say that Heath and Scott are being cowards on Sunny Gray, and they're being unfair on Sunny Gray. I laid down the gauntlet.

There you go. I agree. you should grab them everywhere and see how its first start gross. Coward feels like such a throwback thing to call somebody. Well, the best thing you can do is just agree with him. It's my favorite accusation. Like, just calling someone a coward. Is this like 1850s?

Is this the Wild West? I don't know. Haven't you ever seen school ties? I was going with school ties there. I wasn't, but that's the only thing I can think of. You are a coward! Cowards! No, I feel like we unfairly maligned Sunny Gris.

who in 2014 and 15 was a top 16th and points, 22nd in Roto in 2014, 11th of points, 13th and Roto in 2015. I feel like we have just cast him aside and he could go all Dallas Kichael on us. I don't think he can go all Dallas Kichol on us. That's my main. And I put a bigger emphasis on last year's disaster. He was bad, he was hurt, and his defense was one of the worst in the majors. And he is a contact pitcher that's a very low strikeout guy that needs his defense to be good.

And it was great in 2014-15. It's not good now. So I think Gray could pitch really well and be a top 40 starting pitcher. Or he could just suck and you cut him. But you should add him and see what he looks like. I should have he can't be he's not as good as Keikle I will I will say that but I just think he could he was what second third and Syung

A.L. Siong voting two years ago he was he was Kikl at 2000 14 and 15 I don't think he can be that in this current environment no but he could be must own so yes if great is available you should probably be looking to pick him up next I mean the defense theory sounds like a good one and look it may it may be spot on I just don't know that we have enough evidence, we're still so limited in our understanding of how defense affects the outcomes games.

I don't think there's enough evidence to suggest defense can honestly make or break a pitcher. I'm not saying he can make a... I said he could be top 40. Okay. What a coward. Okay. Kyler says, I wonder if his name is Kyle and I just wrote it wrong. But I have it as Kyler.

Please help me make the argument to my league mates to get rid of wins for next season. I really need Heath and Chris on this one. We are just at a real impasse. Give me a great argument to use to pitch to them on removing wins next season. I beg of you. Chris Sale got a loss last night. Do we need to go any farther? It's a good point.

It's a good point. Just show them the box score from Chris Sale. Show them Chris Sale's win-loss record for 2017 and all of his other stats and say, does this make any sense? I like, I still like wins in fantasy. I agree it's a dumb stat and too much has been made of it throughout the history of baseball. But I do like that small degree of randomness that, you know, there's still some predictability to it. Maybe not on a start-by-start basis, but over the long haul of a season, you can look at a pitcher's profile, his supporting cast, and say, okay, this guy is probably going to have more wins than this guy. Okay. Next email is from the J-Train. Grade the Trade, give up Gary Sanchez, get Michael Brantley in a 14-team.

12 category league. He already has Wilson-Contrera. So give up Gary Sanchez, get Michael Brantley. B-plus. I give it a C-minus. Well, as Brantley gets ready to come back, I just think it's important to remember. Oh, not Brantley, Sanchez. Sanchez. Gary Sanchez was terrible before going on the DL. And it was like, what, four games? No, it was more than that.

But terrible. And I was concerned about him coming into the year anyway. I think I was the only one. Yeah. I remember how terrible Trey Turner was? Yeah, honestly. Gersfield. Does Gary Sanchez go to course?

No, he doesn't. Not this year. Are you arguing Trey Turner is no longer good once he leaves course? I said at the beginning it will be interesting to see what Trey Turner does outside, of course. I don't think that it's a just complete coincidence that he broke out when he went to Corse Field. Okay. I think, okay, well, all right, I just want to bring it up, whatever. No, I think maybe better than saying he was awful the first five games of the season.

It was five games. Is saying that we didn't expect Gary Sanchez to match what he did last year. I think he's going to have a bad batting average. That's what I think. I think there's a decent chance of that and Michael Brantley's been outstanding Well, what round

would you draft Brantley in if we were redrafting today? Seven-ish. Still later than Sanchez. I might I might draft him a little higher than that. And by the way, C-minuses means it's almost dead even.

I'd just rather have Sanchez. It's a scarcer position. All right, let me read one more email here and then we'll do two-star pitchers. From... Which one do I want to read? From Ashton.

Dear Beecher, McMannis, and O'Reilly. Feels like the wire to me. But I don't know. I say that a lot. Can you rank these closers? Hector Nerris, Matt Bush, Cam Bedrosian. Bush, Nerris, Bidrosian. Agreed.

Beecher, McMannis, O'Reilly. Oh, Oz. Oz. Never saw it. All right. Let's get some two-star pitchers. pitchers for Fantasy Week 5. Start or sit.

Clayton Kershaw. Oh, Scott, Clayton Kershaw has the Giants at home and at the Padres. If you as a Clayton Kershaw owner don't win next week, you've got some explaining to do. Okay. It means he got Chris Sailed, right, Eve? Does team scam have Clayton Kershaw? Oh, yes. See?

You have no excuse because getting Chris Hale doesn't hurt you. in Thor the People League. That's true. Quality starts instead. Quality starts. Quality starts is so annoying. Well, people are going to have to make the decision on Noah Cindergarde currently lined up to be a two-star pitcher.

I'm sure you'll start him if you get good news. Okay, let's see. Any questionable ones here? Probably not. Probably not. All right, let's go to the fringy ones then. Well, let's start Robert Giselman. At Atlanta, home against Miami.

Start or sit? I thought he was going to be a two-star pitcher this. week. With those matchups, I did drop them in one league after this last start just because I felt like I could get away with dropping him. But I still like him, and I think those

matchups are good enough that I can recommend him, yeah. Sean Maniah, again, wait and see. At Minnesota, home against Detroit. The reason why I was so excited about Trevor Bauer, by the way, is because Detroit is a really good matchup right now, assuming they don't get Miguel Cabrera back, but they have a bad lineup at the moment.

So you got Manaya with Minnesota and Detroit. Yeah, I guess I'd start him. But he just left with an arm injury, so I don't think it's a slam dunk. So boring. Let's go to Helixen. Jeremy Helixen has been great this year. But his two starts are at the Cubs and home against the Nationals, and he doesn't strike anyone out.

Start or sit, Jeremy Helixen. Sit. He really doesn't strike anyone out. Like literally doesn't strike anyone. out. Yeah, I sit them with those two. Those are the two best teams in baseball, I think, the Cubs and the Nationals. Have you written the article, by the way, Scott, the two-star pitcher article? No. Okay, so you don't have your recommendations off the top of your head? No, not off the top of my head. All right, well, I'm sure you're looking at the list.

Way and Chen has Tampa Bay and at the Mets. That's not so bad if you want to take a gamble, but he's not so good. You know what? A lot of these pitchers were pitchers who were on the two-star pitcher list last week, which, is worth worth the reminder when you pick up a fringy pitcher strictly because he's making two starts, one rainout, and that advantage is gone, you know? Or even just if a team decides to reshuffle its rotation midweek. Yeah. This is a rainy time of year, so it's something to keep in mind.

I'm going to tell you two guys based on matchup that I wanted to pick up. Alex Cobb has Miami on the road and Toronto at home, and Trevor Bauer is at Detroit and at Kansas City. I'd be willing to gamble on those two in the right kind of format. Cobb and Bauer. Cobb especially. I'm still not really convinced Bauer is a pitcher you want anywhere near your lineup. Yeah, the Bauer thing, the fact that he gets the Royals,

makes him a lot more exciting to me. Yeah, Detroit and the Royals. Daniel Norris has Cleveland and Oakland. Brett Anderson is the Phillies and the Yankees, both at home. Hector Santiago has been pitching pretty well. He's Oakland and Boston both at home. And then there's some real flyers that we probably don't want to take. It's not a great week, I don't think, for two-star pitchers.

No. And there's a lot of them. There's a lot of them. It's just more not a lot that you can find on the waiver wire. You know, one of the lowest scoring teams in baseball, by the way, is Pittsburgh. So if you see Pittsburgh in a week, keep that in mind. Like Willie Peralta at St. Louis at Pittsburgh. I could see it being an okay week for him.

I'm not saying I actually dropped him. I could see it, but I can't see myself recommending him. Yeah, I'm not going to go ahead and – I don't think we're going to recommend a lot of these guys, but Scott's going to write the column. Would you start Matt Shoemaker at Seattle and home against Houston? Yes. Yes. Would you start Vince Velasquez at the Cubs and home against the Nationals,

same brutal matchups as Helixson? There was another guy who was supposed to be making two starts this past week. And apparently it's not I'll say yes I will say no Yeah man that's tough I'm also going to say no I don't know

Lasquez makes me stutter and mumble So Yeah man Lasquez All right We're done for the day Why? Tell me why

The stupid giants Take a freaking tight end And it's not the one From the University of Miami Who I've been Worshipping for like five months now Oh is that a You know what, Adam?

I had the same reaction when the Falcons traded up several years ago to the first, within the first 10 picks of the draft. And just in time to miss A.J. Green and instead take Julio Jones. I think it's worked out okay. Fair enough. I think, did you like the GIF that I sent you in response to your Giants' Twitter takes? It was the crybaby one, right? Do you know, but do you know what that's from? No, I don't think so.

It was it? You need to figure that out by the next podcast. We're going to start using it a lot more often. I don't really remember it, but I will take a look. Thank you for listening, everybody. Really appreciate it. Check out the Fantasy Football Today podcast. And have yourselves a great weekend.

Happy birthday to my fiancee, and we out of here.
