All right, we should have a fun show for you today on this Thursday, June 22nd. Still my birthday week, so, you know, I'm in a good mood. Adam Azer here with Team Creeth, Kristen Heath. What's up, guys? It's been a great week of fantasy baseball. I'm excited to be here and excited for the NBA draft tonight. I'm sure that you will be tweeting all night about how the draft isn't as good as it used to be. In fairness, I think the NBA draft used to be better, because now the players have such better.

fashion sense that it's really just not as entertaining. Somebody's going to wear something terrible night. No, you look back at those old drafts though and these dudes are wearing, like, these are like seven foot tall dudes that are still wearing suits that are too big for them. I miss that aspect of it. Yeah, everybody used to wear suits that were too big for them. But now, you know, we have Indochino. Thank you for letting me put that plug in.

So I was pretty active on the waiver wire last night. Well, I guess for a Wednesday night anyway. So we'll talk about that. Buy or sell a little bit later. Mike Fires. Do we have to change our theme song? He's been really good for five starts now. We'll update you on Team Creeth versus Team Scam,

which I didn't know what was happening until last night when I looked at that score. Oh, crap. Did I send you the notes with the name that player in it? Because if I did, you're going to have to ignore that section of the notes. I'm not looking at the notes anymore. Chris, don't look at the notes. Don't look at the notes. I don't look at the notes.

I gave you. We're going to play Name That Player, and I think I sent you the answers to name that player. so just don't look. Yet another shortcoming of animation. There we go. All right, I added a few players last night. I don't want to know what you think. Scott's not on the show today, which is a shame because I told them he would thank me later

for dropping Eric Sogarde for Nick Povetta. But before Povetta, I added Alex Cobb. I owned Alex Cobb to start the year in four of my five leagues. I was pretty high on Cobb. And then I became pretty low on Cobb. I just didn't think it was anything special. But if he really is getting his best pitch, I think his changeup, I think is what Scott said back. That inspired me to pick him up again.

So luckily I did. Cobb is two starts next week at Pittsburgh and at Baltimore. And I am hoping that he can be better than just sort of run of the mill. So that was one guy I added. Alex Cobb, 72% owned. Now you react and say. Oh, you want to hear what my thoughts are on Alex Cobb? That's right.

As you were talking about Alex Cobb, I was thinking my. grade slash thoughts on your acquisition of Alex Cobb is solely dependent on who he faces next week. If it would have just been one start, but at Pittsburgh, I still would have liked it. Two starts and at Pittsburgh, I love it. Great job, Adam, A plus. But this isn't really about just week 13. I'm looking for some stability. Right, I'm saying for me, Alex Cobb is still of that class of pitcher, where whether I own slash start him is dependent on his

future schedule. Okay. So what's the, I guess my question is what's the, what's the argument that he's getting the splitter slash changeup back? Oh, you'd have to ask Scott. It's just what Scott said, and I listen to you guys. So, yeah, Scott quoted someone yesterday, but I don't have the source. Okay, I mean, he threw, it looks like 25 splitters in his last, or changeups in his last start, got five swinging strikes, so that's pretty good. I think that's what it was, that he's throwing it more. I think that was the main gist of it. So that could be a big pitch for Cobb, and let's hope. All right, Chris, you tell me, we talked about him last time he had a great start.

It was against the Red Sox, but now it was against the Cardinals last night. Nick Povetta, who in his last two starts has, let's see, 10 strikeouts, 19 strikeouts in 13 innings, 10% owned. He is a two-star pitcher next week. I recommend dropping somebody that you don't need. Like Eric Sogard, we were starting in that 16-team league, but now we have Cigura back, so we'll 100. percent do not need so guard. And I watched Povetta, and I thought he looked very good, and he's throwing 95, and I don't know, his numbers are still overall pretty bad, so it could be nothing, but he's 10% owned.

Nick Povetta, what do you think? He definitely needs to be more than 10% owned. This is a guy who his minor league track record is just okay. Has always been one of those really hard throwers, but not necessarily a pitcher kind of guys. but then you look at it's only 10 starts, but his AAA track record, he had a 4-4-1 ERA at AA. And he gets up to AAA, 10 starts,

that's all it is, but 10.2K per 9, 1.9 walks per 9, 1.91 ERA in those 10 starts. Nick Pabetta is a guy who throws 95 miles an hour, needs to develop the secondary pitches, but it's possible that the light just flipped on. Okay, all right. So again, I'm not saying you need to drop.

a good player for Nick Povetta, but if you have a roster spot that you can play with, would you drop Joe be a genie tonight? Absolutely. You would? Okay. Yes. I mean, yeah, you're looking at Povetta. He's got 19 strikeouts and three walks over his last two starts.

You need to make adding him a priority, I think. I also want to point out if Jeff Hoffman gets dropped, he's got two starts on the road next week. He's been amazing on the road. I think one might be at Arizona, but that's not somebody I would shy away from. Hoffman is, let's see, he's at San Francisco and at Arizona. So Jeff Hoffman, 78% only got crushed last night. If he gets dropped, you want to pick them up. What stood out to you guys yesterday?

Well, I think the Grand Salvador. Oh, yeah, I wanted to ask you, are you growing a playoff beard? Is that what your facial hair is about? Is it for Kreef? Is it for the Royals? Because you have a lot of facial hair. I went on vacation and I went to the mountains And that I thought, you know, walking around the forest

You don't want to have a clean face No telling what will happen to you Heath's not telling the truth We've both decided to grow beards Until our respective favorite teams make the playoffs I haven't shaved obviously in 15 years It's been a pretty good last four or five years for me Yeah, it has been good

That's why you haven't had a beard before this Right So, okay, stand out from yesterday. No, wait, wait, wait, we have to talk about Salvador. I cut him off. Okay. Buy or sell, now is the time to sell, Salvador Perez. I'm going to give him a couple more weeks.

I'm going to try to, because he's going to start in the All-Star game. That's going to keep his profile up. He's gotten a little bit extra rest. Chris and I were just looking at it. He's actually caught the seventh most innings this year. He's not leading baseball innings caught. I will give him until the All-Star break, and then I'm going to shop really. really hard.

Because he's always been pretty good in June. Yeah, I know. He doesn't really wear it out until after the break. But you know, my concern is that, like, if people know that about Salvador Perez. But he's also having, like, maybe I don't have his half-season splits for every season, but I feel like this is the best we've ever seen Salvador Perez. I would guess that's probably true. He's actually, he has made some changes to his game.

And, you know, whether those sustain or not, he has, uh, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, He's a fly ball revolution guy. He's improved from around 40% in 2014 and 15, 47 last year, 51 this year. So he's a, the power gains seem real, but you do have to be concerned about the playing time and the second half swoon as always. All right, Chris Towers. Give me a standout from Wednesday. Okay. Remember how Andrew Miller was the closer now because the Indians needed to preserve his.

his workload and make sure that he's not getting overworked and all this. He worked two innings in the seventh and eighth last night. You know what I have to say about that? For you. It never made much sense. They have a combination that works. They might give Andrew Miller a save every once in a while. He might get five or six saves for the rest of the season.

But I have a hard time. I had a hard time believing at the time. that it was going to come to anything, and yesterday was a good example of why. Also, Tommy Fam, Devil Dong. He really looks like he's for real. Okay. We'll talk about, I actually want to talk about outfielders in general and who might be under-owned or over-owned. Because, you know, we talk about outfielders that hit well almost every single day,

and we've got to decide which ones are just sort of like pick them up while they're hot and which ones are, let's keep them on our team, or let's get them on our team now for some future production. because fam is only 25% owned. By the way, Cody Allen was with his wife who was having a baby, so he did not get the save yesterday. But Cody Allen is the closer for the Cleveland Indians. I want to nominate Mike Fires as the Wednesday standout. 61% owned.

Last five starts. We should have started Mike Fires. He's 4 and 0 with a 172 ERA. 11 walks, 29 strikeouts, and 31 and a third. Is anyone buying Mike Fires? I'm really disappointed. You said all of that very quickly, but not in the rhythm of the theme song. I'm really disappointed you didn't at least try.

Look, we see good stretches from Mike Fires. We see good half seasons from Mike Fires, but he is what he is. And I don't see any reason to believe that he's going to be something different. He's a guy who has trouble keeping the ball in the yard, has given up 18 home runs this season. strikeout rate at times has been really good but it's below average right now i i just i have trouble getting excited about a mike fire stretch i would rather have pavetta i would rather have frances i would rather have anyone who i don't know is mediocre i would put fires in that same he's climbing into the tier with alice cobb would you rather have michael waka

or Mike Fires Michael Waka. Terrible Waka yesterday. Yeah, he's not had a very good stretch at all recently. No. Mike Fires has a 5-6-4 FIP. Well, yeah, he's a 381 ERA, but he's been, you know, obviously a lot better lately.

Like, I don't think Fires is good, but at some point we get to a level of pitcher low enough to where we're just playing the guy that's pitching well right now. Yeah. And by the end, yeah, I dropped Jordan. Zimmerman, by the way, for Alex Cobb, because that's a guy who, like, what you're saying about Fires, that's kind of how I feel about Zimmerman. Like, I don't really think he's that good.

He's right in that same group, yeah. I know his slider's getting better, but how good is he, even if he's at his best? I don't think he's the same pitcher we saw in Washington, so I got him for the two starts. He'll pitch against San Diego. He'll do great, and I don't think I'm going to be that motivated to pick him back up, but we'll see. All right, so I get it. Fires is a jag at best, according to Chris Towers.

And now it's time for our tweet of the day. by at Heathcoming Senior, also at C-Tower, CBS, and I am at Adam Azer, A-I-C-E-R. And I'm not going to give Scott's Twitter handle out because I'm a little hurt that he's not here today. So he has responded to the tweet of the day. It does not seem pleased that Team Scam is being called out on Twitter. This is the tweet of the day. It's from Nathan Pickle. Have we just not talked about the Kreeth versus Scam matchup this week, or did I miss it?

Well, I think we just go through a quick rundown. You know, it's Thursday. We can kind of start thinking about where things are. So we'll just give a quick, very quick category by category rundown. Team Creeth is winning on base percentage 480 to 306, winning RBI's 25 to 6. Oh my God, 25 to 6. Winning runs 17 to 8, winning stolen bases, 4 to 1, home runs 9 to 1, saves 4 to 1, whip 0.78 to 0.83. That one's close.

You guys probably should be winning that one. And ERA, we are winning 0 to 3.55. Jeez. You are winning quality starts 2 to 0 and strikeouts 32 to 9. All right. So you're having an unbelievably monstrous offensive week, and there's just nothing that we can do about that. Is that basically what I've...

Corey Seeger? Great. Salvador Perez. Oh, Andrew's stupid McCutcheon. All right. So there's no hope here. No. I'm not saying it's over.

Oh, it's over. There's no way we could win. I mean, I'm not saying we're going to lose 8 to 2. You could come back in whip for sure. Like 7 to 3 is a very realistic goal. We have Khrusha and Klob. Right. That didn't help in his first starts. No, but I imagine it should. We have Brad Hand, so. There you go. I have Tommy Conley. All right, thank you for that tweet, Nathan. Appreciate you bringing that up.

Now, let's rank some starting pitchers. I'm going to give you three studs. Tell me how you're ranking them now. Jose Berrios, Justin Verlander, James Paxton. In the opposite order of... Yeah, Verlander, Paxton, Berrios for me. Ah, do I have Paxton? I don't... And Paxton might move back towards Burrios, given his rough stretch here.

But we did... But, like, Verlander had a pretty rough stretch himself. Yes. You know, I did watch them... You probably had Verlander eight or nine spots lower than either Scott or I did coming into the season. Okay. We all know why. Because he wasn't very good.

What do you mean he wasn't very good? Coming into the season? I wasn't informed. Coming off a year where he should have won the Sallion. You didn't think Verlander was going to be that good either. I had him as a top ten starting pitcher. Wrong. Paxton, Verlander, Berrios.

You have Paxton won. I have Paxton one spot. in my top 300 ahead of Verlanders. They're basically the exact same thing. Okay. And Chris has Verlander, Paxton, Burrios. I watched the game last night, and not all of it, but I was pretty surprised that Paxton's line ended up being as bad as it was

because his first two innings were scoreless. He struck out the side in the second inning. He looked great. And I guess there are just still some minor adjustments that he has to make. But I think, you know, from my perspective, there were a lot of positives for both of these guys. because Verlander's final line, three runs in five and two thirds, was a little disappointing. He had a perfect game through five innings.

He gave up a bunt single to Gerard Dyson, dirty. That's the stupidest. I heard some people saying that. That's ridiculous. If it was the bottom of the ninth and you're down by four runs and the guy's got a perfect game, I could understand the argument. It's the sixth inning. I honestly, like, I don't think I could understand it because it's James Paxton.

This is what James Paxton does. What are you talking about? Sorry. Gerard Dyson. Do you step outside on a sunny day and get mad because the sun is too bright? Gerard Dyson's not trying to swing the bat. He's bunting 70% of the time anyway. Okay.

There was nothing wrong with it. Even Verlander said it was fine. But no, he was pitching great. Then he gives up a bunt single. There was a walk. There was a bloop single. And then the two-run double from Nelson Cruz. And then luckily he got taken out of the game.

said, all right, I can go to sleep now. But I don't know, both these guys had some positive signs. Paxson had eight strikeouts in five and a third. They're all good pitchers. I don't, I disparaged Justin Verlander just on the basis of not being a top 10 pitcher, but they're all in my top 30. Yeah, I'm not going to look for any negatives in a game where Justin Verlander strikes out 11 and walks one.

Right. He racked up big pitch counts. He ended up with 110 and 5 and 2 thirds innings. It's very likely that he just ran out of gas a little bit. I'm not worried about that. Okay. Burrios, man. Woo!

Top 20? He's getting... I think I almost have him in my... Had him in my top 20 before this. I believe I have him 25th or 26. He's quite good. I'm 26, yeah. Oh, I'm moving him above Michael Panetta right now.

Oh, thank you. You should have done that a while ago. You had Panetta in your top 25? Yeah. We had a whole discussion about this last week. You just came around. Uh, no. No, he hates him.

He just thinks he's a top 25 pictures. I'm just waiting for any excuse to move like 27 pitchers ahead of him. But is Barrios going to be ahead of Jamison Tyone, your number one pitcher? That's, I'm right there, 24, 23 for me. Okay. Even I love Tyone and I can't justify for one second having him ahead of Barrios. Okay. Can you justify it?

I have Jameson Tyone. Well, Jose Brieus has been really good for, what, eight starts? Yeah. Maybe sure. Whatever it is. Not even half of his major league career so far. There's still, like there are still, I, look, I've got Jose Barrios in my top 24. I think he's really good. But James and Tyone, I think was undervalued coming into the season.

Was undervalued when he got called up. Didn't have the hype because he missed the two years, dealing with Tommy John and then an abdominal injury. Would you agree it's much easier to see Jose Barrios becoming a top 10? Jose Barrios has much more. Okay. I think James and Tion is still safer, and I think balancing those two things is tricky. Look, you're not, I don't think anybody's going to trade the two of them. I think that'd be a silly thing to do, but...

I would trade James and Tion for Jose Pore. Oh, yeah, I would, too. Yeah, I don't know if I would. Absolutely. And I really liked... I mean, I was defending Tionne while you were on the show yesterday, Chris, but... I just... Yeah, you guys needed to move him up, I think, is the whole point of that sense.

segment. I move about 45. Yeah. But that's 20 spots slower than you. You still need to move them up. Yeah. I just think that maybe I should care,

but I don't care about Burios' 2016-8 ERA. I just don't care. I mean, he's better. He's fixed it. No, he's definitely better, but it's still... I have to be... Look, all I can do is be consistent in how I judge plays. Right, but you include minor league track record in that as well.

Sure. And so when you're looking at Jose Brrios, this minor league, major league track record as a whole, every start that 2016 in the majors looks like more and more of an outlier. And it right now sticks out like a sore thumb. He was an incredible pitcher in AAA for two years. And remember, he said, Barrio said that he had trouble adjusting from the minor league ball to the major league ball.

So he started throwing his side sessions while he was in the minors with the major league ball. And that helped his transition this time around. Because the minor league ball is not juiced. Whatever it is. He said there was a difference in the seams, which I thought was pretty interesting. Like, we scoff a lot of times at some of these explanations. That wouldn't seem reasonable. Well, no, but the seams on the major league ball are provably lower.

Right. Than the minor league ball. That ringer piece from a couple weeks ago, they actually tested minor league balls in addition to major league balls. And that is one of the differences. Provably? That's a word? I'm not sure I've ever said the word. I believe provably is a word.

All right. I've got all the best words. Prove it. All right, news and notes. Yeah, it's on Dictionary.com. Excellent. To establish the truth or genuineness of as by evidence or argument. Well, you just nailed it.

So, way to go. Injuries, news and notes. All right, we got a couple of pitchers who were being called up. Seattle's Andrew Moore is going to start today, and Cincinnati's Luis Castillo is going to start against the Nationals on Friday. I remember when this guy had like a 35-game hitting streak for the Marlins over a decade ago. Funny. This Luis Castillo was also on the Marlins.

Oh, was? He's the D. Australia. He was also traded for Andrew Cashner last year and then traded back. So we got Andrew Moore for Seattle and Luis Castillo for Cincinnati. And both these guys have some nice minor league numbers. Are we picking these guys up? Yeah, I've got to admit, I've never heard of Andrew Moore before this. Not a top 100 prospect.

But the minor league numbers are pretty good. 259 ERA and 284 innings. I don't know. The profile kind of looks like the, the guy who gets by on middling stuff and great command in the minors, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will translate to the majors. I would have to, I'll look up a scouting report just to see if that matches what he actually is. What about Castillo?

Heath? Both of these guys should be added immediately in league specific leagues. Yeah. They are, I don't, I'm not adding them in any 12-team leagues, but I think, Maybe Team Creeth may be making a move in the next few moments. Well, you're not going to get Andrew Moore because he's already been picked up. But you can try for Luis Castillo. Go get Luis Castillo, Chris.

Yeah. I got him. Okay, so Andrew Moore, low 90s fastball kind of guy. So, yeah, not necessarily an elite prospect there. I think Luis Castillo does throw a little harder. That makes me a little more excited about him. Also has a bit of a better strikeout rate in the minors. But, you know, looks pretty impressive.

Now, if Andrew Moore is good, then we can sing Britney Spears, Give Me More song. Give me more. We could. We could. We could. If we want to pick him up. Like, if I could. If you would rather have more or this guy, you'd say, give me, you know. We won't. We'll let you. Homer Bailey is going to start on Saturday.

Jose Batista is Toronto's lead-off hitter. And he did that 40 times last year. And he only batted 239, but he had a bad batting average all year. with a buddy of 341 on base, 4-59 slugging, so a good ISO, 220 ISO, and 9 home runs, 22 RBIs, and 29 runs in 40 games. So Jose Batista is Toronto's leadoff hitter right now. Value up down to the same. Up. Up. Okay. For sure. Hanley Ramirez is dealing with a shoulder injury. He did pinch hit yesterday. Joey Gallo had an inside-the-park home run yesterday. He snapped a 6-for-50 slump.

Jason Hayward remained out of the lineup. Dexter Fowler left with quad tightness. Eduardo Nunez could still end up on the DL. Hey, guess what? Zach Wheeler's on the DL with biceps tendonitis. He may only miss one start. Ryan Braun and Jonathan VR will begin rehab assignments today. Gene Seguer is back.

Cody Allen was unavailable, as I mentioned, for the save as his wife was giving birth. Jacoby Ellsbury could return soon from his concussion. Marcus Simeon will begin a rehab assignment today. and what happens when you put the Diamondbacks at Corse Field, you get a 10 run inning. They scored 10 runs in the fourth inning yesterday. So let's not totally overlook the Marcus Simeon news. This was a guy who had 27 homers, 10 steals last season. I think he's a viable shortstop option if he's out there.

Okay, he is a long ways away, though, because he's going to basically have a spring training. So I'm thinking after the All-Star break for Simeon. Luis Castillo was officially on Team Creek, by the way. Who'd you drop? Jacoby Ellsbury. But he's about to come back. Yeah, that's okay. He's a jag.

He's a jag. Okay, by the way, the Yankees are so disgusted at first base. They played Matt Holiday there, sat Chris Carter, and D.H. Gary Sanchez, but I'm just trying to think of when Ellsbury comes back. What will happen to Aaron Hicks? What will happen to Ellsbury? I think Ellsbury is going to lose the most playing time, personally. But we'll see. So, name that player.

All right, did you guys cheat, or are we good here? No, I skipped down and the note past it. Chris is going to win every single one. Yeah, I know. We only have two. It'll sound just better. All right, I'm going to do this in the first person. I have more than a strikeout per inning,

a sub one ERA, and a sub one whip. I just tied a record for the most consecutive relief appearances with a strikeout, with 37 in a row. Anthony Swarzek. No. Okay. Since getting my first save on May 14th, I am... Corey Knavel.

Yeah, I'm the number two relief pitcher in both points in Roto. Cory Knable. 37 straight games with a strikeout. That ties I rolled as Chapman for the longest streak since 1900. He's got a 0.98 ERA. A lot of walks, 17 walks and 36 and 2 thirds, but a 0.98 whip because you can't get hit. 64Ks.

in 36 and two-thirds. So, yeah. Number two relievers since becoming the closer. I don't know. Anything to say about Canabel? You think there's a chance he gets traded and loses the job? I mean, whatever. Tell me.

I don't think he gets, like, I don't know why they would trade him because they're in the playoff. That's true. Yeah, it's true. Good example of just how frustrating and unpredictable relief pitchers can be. In 2015, he has a 322 ERA with a 403. FIP. Last season he has a 4-6-8 ERA with a 358 FIP, and then this season he's just elite across the board. There's just so much fluctuation that this stretch may not continue. I would

expect he will not have an ERA under one, but he has added nearly two miles per hour on his fastball over the last couple of years. He's averaging 97 this year, so it's not necessarily a fluke. All right, Corey Canable, you're good. And it's so funny, I just said, well, they might trade them just the way I think of the Brewers. They're in first place by a game and a half. Yep. Stupid on my part. And only 20 and 22 at home in Miller Park. How about that? Oh, you can't pitch there. No, you can't pitch there. Corey Canable can. All right, name that player round two. I am hitting 286 with a 374 on base and a 521 slugging percentage. I have hit nine home runs with six steals.

I did not start the season in the big leagues, but since my call up on May 5th, I'm the number 24 outfielder in points leagues, number 16 in Roto. So batting 286, 9 homers, 6 steals, 24th in points, 16th in Roto was called up on May 5th. Tommy Fam. Tommy Fam.

Congratulations. And you already said him. So there you go. I was actually a little annoyed when you mentioned Tommy Fam earlier. But he did double dong yesterday. And 25% owned for Tommy Fam. How outrageous is that? I don't know who's writing Waver Wire today, but he should be in it.

Yeah, I mean, this is a guy with a career 825 OPS and 519 plate appearances. And there was something with his eyesight. Yes, he had vision issues that apparently were correct. and they were hoping that he'd be able to sustain it. Because in the past, Tommy Fam had good stretches, but he wasn't able to sustain it. But I think they fixed his vision issues. And you can actually see evidence of that,

if nowhere else, in the strikeout rate, which has gone down from 38% last year to 25%. If he can be a 25% home run guy or strikeout guy, then he could be an everyday player. So that's going to transition us into our next segment, which is outfielders, underowned, over-owned, you tell me, are just hot-hand plays. I'm just going to pull up on the most added, on the roster trends list. You can do most added, you can do most viewed, you can sort by most owned.

And so let's start, Tommy Fam is not even on this list because it only shows 100, but let's start with guys who are 30-percent owner or more. We'll start at 30%. Josh Reddick, 37%. I like him. Yeah, is he underowned? Is he over-owned? Is it appropriate?

I think he's slightly under-owned. I think Josh Reddick should be starting in most five-outphos. Is he back from the DL? Yes. Okay, then, yeah. He's probably a little under-owned. He sat yesterday against Maniah, the lefty, Josh Redick, so you do have to worry about that.

I guess what I'm looking for here is, instead of just are these streaming outfielders, Ride the hot hand. Are we looking at someone who could have long-term success, rest of season's success? I think Josh Reddick could absolutely be someone that's worth starting for the rest of the season. Louis Brinson, 38% owned. No, probably over-owned. Yeah, I think when Braun comes back, I would think Brinson goes down.

I don't think he's even played half the games he's been up for yet. Malik Smith, 41% owned. I believe he has a hit every game since he's been up. Malik Smith. And he's batting lead-off every game, right? Yeah. Susa hit leadoff at least one of those games. Okay.

My bad then. He's probably hitting lead off against Ritees and Sousa is against lefty. Malix has been, Malick Smith has been really good. Strikeout rights a little high for someone who doesn't have power. He's right around 20%, but nine stolen bases especially. You got to think 41%, that's not every Roto League. Right. And I think he probably needs to be owned in every Roto League.

Okay. So Malik Smith is a little underowned. up. Jack Peterson, 41% owned. I don't know why. Yeah, I think maybe. He's probably going to get hot at some point, but he hasn't done enough this year.

Trey Mancini, 47% owned. You're welcome. I think that's fine. I'll take responsibility for that. I think he was like 17% at the beginning of the week. Yeah, that's about right for now. All right, so this is not necessarily a long-term going to have him on my team, rest of season.

season kind of guy, Tray Mancini? No, I think he's pretty much a must-start player until Chris Davis comes back. Well, he's going to keep playing when Chris Davis comes back. Well, if he goes back to playing four to five days a week, then he's not. Yeah, I don't know what it is with Ioki. I guess it's just, or not Ioki. Yon Tzu Kim. I think he's kind of good.

Yeah, I think he's good. You do? Yeah. All right. I guess Buck Show Walter agrees. Chip Maniacs over here. I love it. Shin Suu 2-Chu-Chu-49% owned.

First of all, if you're in a points league, he's just great in that format. He has a 3... Oh, no, I don't have a slash line here, but... He's kind of been what we hoped Carlos Santana would be this year. Well, he's 2. He walks a ton.

Yeah. He's got 42 walks in 62 games and 50 strikeouts, and I know over the last month he's been a beast in points leagues, but also 11 home runs and six steals. And while he is bad against left, batting 208, he has a 387 on base against lefties. Shinsu Chu has reached base multiple times for the seventh game in a row,

and 10th time in his last 11. He has reached base in 26 of his last 51 plate appearances, is he under-owned at 49%. I think so. He has his most stolen bases since 2013, his most home run since 2015. He's already topped last year's total. I think Shinsu's under-owned.

How about... 51% on. He's 49% on. 51% own. We have David Peralta. No, I don't think he's underowned. Just because I don't know how much you can own a platoon guy. Here's a guy that, by the way, about going back to Peralta, his numbers against lefties are awesome. I'm just wondering if they will eventually just let him hit against lefties.

I think he's 48 bats against lefties, but he's doing very, well, I think what they, I think they play like Chris Herman against lefties or something like that. So I'm just wondering if Peralta could eventually stop being a platoon player. I view Peralta similarly to how I view Reddick, and Reddick's owned in 15 to 20% less leagues. So that's why I said Reddick is underowned and Peralta is not. All right. Cameron Mabin, 57% owned. Is this a guy that can help you all year?

The only question is if he can help you on points. Because definitely in Roto. Right. And if he can stay healthy, which he probably can't. Yeah, but, man, he's been so good. I think he's slightly under-owned because he's so hot. And they're stealing a lot of bases, too. Angleton Sibbens is the one other one yesterday.

Okay, how about Matt Adams, 65% owned? Yeah, probably a little bit under-owned because he's not just a first baseman. He is an outfielder, and I view him. right around where I view the Logan Morrison Justin Smoke class. He's maybe a little below those guys, but the fact that he has outfield eligibility helps. That's Matt Adams, 65%. I'll do a few more here.

Starling Marte, 76% owned. He should be pretty close to 100%. Yeah, because he's coming probably another month or so, right? I wrote about him in the trade chart that's coming out on CBS.com later today and how it was time to add some stashes or chart. grade for some stashes. He should be owned everywhere. Oh, yeah, I'm thinking he'll be back shortly after the All-Star breaks, Starling Marte, right? His last game was April 17th.

All right, then, I think we're about done with that. Scott Shebler is 78% owned. Shebler is the number 28 outfielder in points leagues, number 23 in Roto. Shevler's 78% owned. That's about right. I believe in it. I think he's been underowned all season. He hasn't really had like a cold stretch this year, has he? A little bit. He's hadn't get 43 OPS in every month so far.

Just before this stretch of two homers in his last three games, Shebler had a 14 game stretch with a 250 batting average and two home runs. If he doesn't homer, you're not really getting anything from Shebler. So, like, if you look at his fantasy points in those last two weeks, they were pretty low. but he's 78% owned, and he's got 20 home runs. It's weird. He only has a 739 OPS at home. That is weird.

He's been very good against lefties. He's got a 612 slugging percentage against lefties entering yesterday's game. All right, guys, it's almost time for buy or sell, but somebody made history yesterday, and it was Rich Hill. First starting pitcher in baseball history to last five or fewer innings

in each of his first nine starts. So what do you think about Rich Hill? 82% owned? He was better last night. Yeah. He was. I mean, that's the thing. Like, you can't drop him now.

I know the control's been bad, and I don't get that. But one thing I want to point out with Hill, it's not, the fact that he's not throwing more than five innings, it's not because of the blister. I don't think. It's not because they're being cautious with him. It's because he's been bad. But I actually would almost prefer that. At least he's got the potential to keep throwing 100 pitches, and if he pitches better,

go deep into games rather than them limiting him because of blisters. Like, if you dropped Rich Hill, I'd pick him up. He's 82% owned. What do you think? I'm probably picking him up if somebody else drops him. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. Depends on what my team looks like.

I've got one league where I've got like Faria, Francis Martez, and I just added Povetta. I don't know if I would pick Rick Hill. You wouldn't pick Rich Hill up over Nick Povetta? I would. Yes. I don't know. Like, Rich Hill threw 110 innings last season. It's time to know, Chris.

You've got to make the decision right now. Hill or Pervetta. rest of the season. I have Hill ranked higher for sure, but I don't know if that's a move I would make. That's insane. I just don't have a lot of faith in this guy who has very little track record. You don't have a lot of faith in Nick Povetta either. Sure.

But it's just the same thing with Rich Hill. At least Nick Povetta's pitching well right now. It's not the same thing with Rich Hill. Rich Hill for the last two seasons, when he's pitched has been unbelievable. He threw 29 in 2015. And they were 29. We're not giving him the last two seasons. We are because he backed it up in two seasons.

2016. We are giving him that because those 29 innings were awesome. Like he's showing. We're, like, he's already thrown more innings this season than he did in 2015. He's at about 35% of his 2016 total already. Like, we're reaching a point where 2017's very quickly catching up to the good 2016. I don't know why that matters to you so much. Like, what I see in Rich Hill. Track record?

Yeah, his track record doesn't really matter. He reinvented himself as a pitcher. His curveball is fantastic. And when Rich Hill is right, we've seen 2015, very briefly in 2016 for like half a season, we've seen a straight up elite pitcher, one of the best in baseball. That is the track record that matters to me. Not everything else that's come before it. Oh, no, no.

I'm not like looking at the track record before it. I'm just looking at it. This guy wasn't good enough to pitch in the majors for a long time. He's had a half good season. And Nick Povetta wasn't good enough to pitch in the majors for, a long time. Sure. Two good starts.

Sure. But like even generally speaking, you know, you're just, you just value it more than I do. I will have Rich Hill ranked higher than Nip Kaveta for sure. See, I don't think that you have to, it's going to sound crazy. I don't think that you have to be consistent in the way you evaluate players. I don't think that you need to take into track record into account equally for every player. Because if you do, then you run the risk of undervaluing a guy like Jose Burrios when his... Sure, but you also run the risk of overreacting denouement.

Nelson Lemaet. Yeah, but what was the harm in overreacting to Denelson Lament? You dropped him. Yeah, you picked him up, you dropped him. That's how fantasy baseball works. Isn't that the harm with everything? No, I don't have a problem, like, picking up a player that I might drop. As long as I'm not dropping someone that I shouldn't be dropping.

Like, I've never said not to add Jose Rios. I said to add Jose Rios. I wrote about him multiple times in Waverwire. But, okay, but Rich Hill has a much better track record than Denelson Lema. Like anybody who makes two good starts, you know, I don't, that's different than somebody who had a, who is one of the best pitchers in baseball for a season. I would argue that Nick Cavetta is closer to Nelson Lamet than Rich Hill. Of course. It's exactly. And I have, and I've said six or seven times now that I will have Rich Hill ranked higher than Nelson or Nick Povetta.

But if Rich Hill gets dropped in my league, I'm not running out to grab him because I don't have much faith in him. But I guess you're hoping that Rich Hill is going to understand is because you do keep saying I'll have Hill ranked at a. pavetta, and that makes sense. But you waffle on whether you would pick Nick Povetta for Richel. Okay. But I'm, whatever. Like, the specifics of that, who cares?

Yes, I would do that. But my point is, I'm not rushing out to grab Rich Hill if I see him on the way or the wire. Like, it's just, it's not going to be a priority for me. Okay. Okay. So, in the bullpen, Jim Johnson and Hector Neras, each blew a save. I would assume Johnson has some job security,

but I also think he's a good trade candidate, and I wonder if we should stash a Rota's Viscayano. I wonder if we should stash Pat Nysheck. Your thoughts, fellas? I'm not necessarily excited about stashing either one of them. Yeah, I'm not stashing bad relievers on bad team. Okay, but Viscayano is actually having a really good season, and I do think the Braves need to trade Jim Johnson.

So. Yeah. Well, yes, they need him to pitch a little better than he has. recently so they can. He's been, yeah, I mean, this was a bad outing, but he's actually had a good year. Hasn't? I, and I'm going to look right now. I was under the impression the month of June had not been very kind to Jim Johnson.

It might be, but you're, you know, talking about two bad outings in the month of June, and he's not going to have a good numbers. Right, I just, and maybe this is another case of I didn't think Jim Johnson was a top 25 closer coming into the year. No, but, okay, but Viscayano has a 210 ERA, nine walks, 36 strikeouts, and 30 innings. So he's actually, you know, pitching pretty well. And I would assume he'd be the closer if Johnson gets traded, and I would assume Jim Johnson's going to be one of those hot names on the trade market. So this is not relevant for that many people.

But there are, you know we get emails. Hey, who's who are the closers to stash? Right. And the trade deadline is somewhat rapidly approaching. We're a month away from this being like really intense. So I just want to put a name on the radar. That's it. Y'all do what you want with it.

Y'all play scared. Buy or sell. Buy or sell. Here we go. Max Scherzer is a top 12 overall player rest of season and therefore would be a first round pick if we were drafting today. So he would be 13. Really? See, we've had this whole thing on Twitter about Max Scherzer has passed Clayton Kershaw as a starting

pitcher and I think it's kind of silly because you can't say like he is currently pitching better. Kershaw has this track record that nobody that's in the major leagues is going to approach, I don't think. It's so crazy. The only argument for Scherzer over Kershaw is if you're worried about Kershaw's back.

That's it. Well, it's just the last 15 starts. That's it. Yeah, I mean, Kershaw got hurt last year and Scherzer has been better this year. So there's two arguments. Max Scherzer has a 209 ERA. that would be the second worst ERA of Clayton Kershaw for Clayton Kershaw over his previous four seasons.

I said he's been better this year. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Like, if you're worried about the injury, then fine. But let's also not forget that Scherzer had a knuckle injury preseason. So you're guaranteeing that Kershaw is going to be better than Scher the rest of the season. I'm guaranteeing that unless you're concerned about the injury, there is no justice. Why are you so worried about track record? If Max Scherzer was dropped, would you drop Clayton Kershaw to pick him up?

There's no justification, I think, for ranking any pitcher ahead of Clayton Kershaw. I just gave you two. I mean, there is, but it's totally dependent on recency bias. Clayton Kershaw has been so much better over the course of about six years that you have to take 250 starts from both of them and just throw them out the win. Those aren't relevant to this discussion, the last 15 are. And some people will do that. When we're talking about recency bias, we're talking about this week.

Because Kershaw had a better ERA than Scherzer, I'm pretty sure. Like two starts ago, yeah. One start ago, I think, before the Monday start when he gave up four home runs to the Mets, I think. But, you know, ERA is not everything. Shurzer striking everybody out. But he's not a top 12 player for you overall. Like, I think I would have to take Scher over Charlie Blackman. I think I would have to take him over, like, hmm.

Like, I think trading Chris Bryant for Scher is totally fair. I will say that he I'll just hedge because that's the most fun thing to do he is a top 12 player in points the rest of the season I mean my thing is like we're talking

recency bias Charlie Blackman's on pace for 130 runs and 110 RBI Oh it has nothing to do with Charlie Blackman It has everything to do with starting pitching And the value of having an ace like Scherzer You know How many hitters am I actually going to take over Scher and Kirschaw

So I buy it and points sell it in Roto All right, fine. Moving on. Boo. Moving on, this is from Damn Bert. Dear Wojo, Cherokee, and Trajan. Those are Duke players, right?

Yes, they are. Are you still buying Michael Conforto? Yes. I'm not buying him right now. Like, I'm not actively trying to trade for him. He is a little banged up, apparently. He's been dealing with a back issue. which are bad.

Sure, but this slow stretch was before the back injury. He hit two home runs on May 23rd, 25 games ago, 106-plated appearances since then. He's hitting 193 with a 657 OPS. He's only only one home run in that stretch. Ew.

But he's not bad. He's only striking out 26% of the time in that stretch, which is fine. He's walking 17% of the time. When we say buying Michael Conforter, what are we saying? I still have him as a top 20 outfit. Okay, there you go.

I never did. So I guess we're both equally buying Michael Conforto. He's got an 8, 2830 OPS for his career. That's probably more real than the 950 he's got this year. Okay, then buy or sell from Chad. Lance Lynn, top 25 pitcher. I'm going to buy that. He's an old man's James and Tyone.

Sell for sure I mean I'm sorry I'm gonna sell it Because I don't have Tyone at the top 25 either I think Tyone's FIP is probably two runs better than Lance Lens at this point And buy or sell from Will Salazar returns and holds a rotation spot after the All Star break Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye by by By herself from Dallas Bruce

Tom Murphy is a top 12 catcher rest of season Does he have a hit yet I don't know Actually. He does not, I believe, no. He's only eight-plate appearances, but they're not playing him every single day yet. They're working him in. Working him in.

But they also really like Walter's pitch framing. They like his defensive ability and what it's done for their pitching staff. So buy or sell. Top 12. Sell, but top 18. Okay. He's a two-catchery league guy. Buy or sell from Matthew Fox,

Shaw Manaya, top 20 starter. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you skipped one. I'm going back to it, I promise. Okay. Sell, but he's top 30. Yeah, I think I have him. Yeah, not in my top 30 yet, but now he is. Buy or sell from JP, Andrew McCutcheon, long term.

Woo-hoo, Adam, you're the only one that can answer this. I guess I have to still sell it, right? It's up to you, buddy. Yeah, neither heath or I. sold him when he was struggling. Yeah, I mean, I would try to sell high on him. I feel like an idiot every day. I think he walked two more times yesterday.

I loved Andrew McCutcheon coming into the year, and the fact that he's making you feel like an idiot makes me love it even more. I mean, the thing is, like, he still had, what, like seven horrible weeks. I don't know how many it was. So I think his owners, like, he's probably ranked now in the outfield standings where you sort of expected him to be. at the beginning of the year, his overall numbers. There's still nothing special. Just he's hot now. He was so bad before that.

Well, he's got an 840 OPS. He probably has a little bit of room to grow from there. So let me just, okay, I've compared him to Adam Jones a million times. And Adam Jones is pretty jaggy at this point. McCutcheon is doing exactly what Jones did. Jones was off to a terrible start last year. They moved him to lead off. In this case, they moved McCutcheon to sixth,

and all of a sudden everything magically turned around, but guess what happened to Adam Jones at the end of last year, if I remember correctly? He got pretty ordinary again and slumped. So I'm going to sell Andrew McCutcheon long term. How about that? He still has his lowest babbip ever. Because he's worse than ever. This is from Tony.

By our sell, Bellinger outperforms judge rest of season. Sell, but like we said on Monday, I think it's closer than most people think. Sell them both. You don't need those guys. Adam Hammond, by herself. Vince Velasquez must be owned by the season's end. Bye. He will be must own at some point. I don't know if he will be must own at the season's end.

And by herself from Brad Simon. Brendan Rogers replaces Trevor Story by the end of the season. Sell. Story's fine. Sell. Okay. It's time for a steals alert. Deliner to Shields stole his 17th base as Carlos Gomez sat yesterday. but he's just not going to play enough.

However, he'll get you some steals. He's 20% owned. Howie Kendrick, 18% owned, has eight steals in 30 games. Though he's on a career pace. Kendrick has never stolen more than 14 bases in his season. He has 8 and 30 games. He also has 10 hits in his last four games. I think he's batting like 350.

Can I just rewind us to like 20 seconds ago for just one second? Oh, yeah. Have you seen what Brendan Rogers is doing this? season? You know I haven't. He's 20 years old and he's in the California League, which is a really good hitters league, but he's hitting 400 and 222 plate appearances with an 1119 OPS. What were Trevor Story's stories numbers?

Because they hit in the PCL and they hit in a good ballpark. Story. I don't know, but I don't think he was a 20-year-old when he was doing that. Well, that's interesting. And Brendan Rogers, for anyone who doesn't know, was I think the number of, two pick in the draft a couple years ago. I think he was the, was he in the Danesby Swanson draft? Again, I have no idea.

Stop asking questions. Trevor Story had a 700 OPS in the California League. Brennan Rogers currently has a 700 slugging. Wait a second. Wait a second. His last season in the minors? No, no, no, in the California league. He was 20 in the California league and had a 700 ores. What?

Is that three years before you get to the majors? Yeah. Just kind of gives you an idea that Ron. might be a little ways away to. He wasn't the prospect, Rogers. No. Rogers is one of the... In long-term dynasty leagues is probably one of the top players right now.

Okay. So, Harry Kendrick, 18% owned, and again, eight steals and 30 bases. Cold nose 0-07 wants to know if he should drop Malick Smith for Howie Kendrick. I'd rather have Malick Smith. I would too. Bradley Zimmer has seven steals and 32 games in a really good slash line. He doesn't play every day, but he's 51% owned. and you can ignore

Harry, I don't know how to pronounce it. Adrianza, I believe? Adrianza, I got. I mean, I watched the highlight clip and got the last name. E-H-I-R-E, not quite clear on,

but you can ignore. He had three steals yesterday for the twins. He barely plays. All right. Howie Kendrick, 18%. Any interest there, guys? He should be a little higher

than 18%. Yeah, I think the Sonders getting D-F-Aid means that we don't have to worry quite as much about Kendrick's playing time either. Let's take a look at Fringy starting pitchers from yesterday. Kind of an interesting group. And Jordan Montgomery is 80% owned.

He's got his walks under control. Last eight starts, he has 12 walks and 46 innings. That's going to help his whip. He is pretty high whip this year, but the walks are better. And, you know, pretty typical Jordan Montgomery start, five and two thirds, two runs. Michael Waka, 71% owned. He's just been dreadful. Last six starts, he has an 817 ERA, Michael Waka.

Dan Strayley is 80% owned. And he's been very good and actually been bad on the road, but really good at home. Ian Kennedy is 42% owned, and again he's struggled. Tyson Ross, 52% own, got lit up by the Blue Jays. Sean Newcomb had a good start. Only 3Ks, but a good start, one walk against the Giants. And he, I believe, is a two-star pitcher next week. Junior Gera, I don't know where all these walks are coming from,

but he has 22 walks in 37 and 2-thirds. And he did have a quality start yesterday, but a dreadful whip. Mike Fires, we talked about Joe Biagini's been. bad two starts in a row and Nick Povetta is better than Rich Hill So I said a lot of names there who are your favorites in the fringy starting pitchers Jordan Montgomery Michael Waka, Dan Straeli

Ian Kennedy, Tyson Ross, Sean Newcomb Junior Gera, Mike Fires, Joe Biagini and Nick Povetta I want us our top three Sure For me it's Montgomery Staley And probably

Newcomb I'm going to give my top four because there's four that I actually like. And that would be no particular order, Montgomery, Newcomb, Gera, and Strait. You still like Gara, huh? Yeah.

And I would pick up Povetta over anybody but the three guys that I named, and Richel. And Richel. I would like to like Junior Gera, but he is walking everybody. Just that can't last. That's not, well, but again,

I remember a very, wise fantasy baseball analyst earlier in the year said, you know, his main problem is he's just walking too many people, but he's never had control problems. So I just don't think that's going to keep happening. I don't know what his minor league track record is, Junior Garra, but he had, what, like three something walks per nine last year. His minor league track record is almost non-existent, right? Hadn't he, didn't he come over from the Mexican League last year?

I would really like for you to stop asking questions, Chris. It's just not a good look for me. I haven't been able to answer one of them. He did have 3.2 walks per 9. He can survive at that rate. Yeah. But not at this rate. Not at like 6 per 9.

Okay. So there's some fringy starting pitchers for you. And Montgomery and Australia are 80% own. I think they're both a little underowned. Nukum needs to go way up. What? Nukum needs to go way up. Yeah, I mean, the one really good start to open the season,

not great against the Marlins in his second start. And then last night, only six swinging shots. strikes, but the Giants are a contact-heavy team, so I don't know how to judge that, but the talent level makes him, separates him from the rest. I think Tyson Ross is way over-owned at 52% right now. Let me tell you something that's going to make you do a backflip and pick up Sean Newcomb everywhere he's available. Sean Newcomb is at San Diego and at Oakland next week. If I tried to do a backflip, we would have to call the ambulance. But yeah, go pick up Sean Newcomb everywhere he's available.

You know, as Monty Grundahl went double dong yesterday, he is the number seven catcher in points leagues, and I would say he was having a pretty disappointing season before yesterday. But even then, I think he was top ten. Maybe he's about 12th yesterday. I actually looked it up before the two-homer game. Would you rather have Grandal or Wilson Ramos? Grondall.

Let's take a look at today's matchups. It's going to take me just a second to pull it up. Are you guys excited for the NBA draft? I am very excited and preparing myself to be extremely let down. I'm ready for just ridiculous things to happen. Yeah, yeah. Porzingis will be on the blank on Friday. Nix.

That's the safest bet. It's funny because everybody in the NBA thought Markell Fultz is the clear number one prospect and the Celtics don't want him. So they drop down to number three. And now Wode reports that everyone is trying to trade into the top four to get Josh Jackson, and the Celtics don't want him either. Well, the Celtics don't know anything. All right, Cardinals at Phillies, we have Carlos Martinez.

You're going to start him. Aaron Nola against the Cardinals, start or sit? Start. Start-ish. Jose Cantana at Minnesota. Start. Start. Okay, Martine Perez against the Blue Jays.

Oh, very much set. We're starting both Nova and Chase Anderson. Yes. Would you start either Zach Godley or Antonio Sensitella at Coors Field. Godly if I'm desperate because he is a ground ball guy, but I'd prefer not to. Not at Coors.

David Paulino and Jesse Hahn. I'm sitting both. Jesse Chavez at the Yankees. Nope. Sitting him. Mike Clevenger and Wade Miley. Nope. Sitting both.

Jake Areeta and Jeff Locke. Starting Arieta. Yep. Jaime Garcia against the Giants. I might start. start him in a points league. Yeah. Daniel Norris and Andrew Moore, Tigers and Mariners.

Uh, no. Yeah, I'll probably pass. Although, Norris is interesting because Mariners do have a lot of lefties. It's a home game for the Mariners, so it's not a bad place for him to pitch. Uh-huh, but no? In a 14-team league, I will. Stephen Mats and Jun-Riu, struggling with the Mats decision. struggling.

I'll start Mets. The Dodgers are just ridiculous right now. Yeah, and Mats, you know, the results haven't been bad, but the swinging strikes have not been there for him. And they're not bad against lefties right now either. I check to the Dodgers. So Mats or Riu, are you starting either one? I'll start Mats.

Yeah, Heath, Riu. Oh, yeah, Mets. What about Riu? No, no, not Riu. Okay. All right, guys. That was fun. Yeah, that's my favorite

Favorite segment of the show, to be honest. Is what? When you ask us which starting pictures will start that night, and then people tweet me as they get blown up? It's really awesome. Well, who did you said start? Well, last night I said start fires,

and then you guys sang, though, we didn't start my fires. No, Scott did. Ha! Scott did. I would start fires. I guess the A's. I think, I don't know if I said anything about it yesterday. If I did, then ignore what I just said.

Now, goodbye, everybody. We'll talk to you on Friday.
