Welcome to the Fantasy Baseball Today podcast from CBS Sports. I drive, center field, and swing. This is magnificent. Got a fantasy question? Email Fantasy Baseball at CBSI.com. Get ready to win your league. Well, fantasy becomes reality. Now here's Frank Scott, Chris, and Adam.

I hope you guys are ready to talk pitching because there was a lot of it on Monday. Welcome into Fantasy Baseball today. Frank Stamph will join by. Scott White and Chris Towers. We've got some trades to talk about, some trade targets to talk about as well. Later on in the podcast, but it's not wasting any time. Jump right in. Oh, my goodness gracious.

Scott, why don't you get us started, man? Oh, my goodness gracious. Player of the night. Thank you for sparing me the pleasantries, Frank. You know how much I enjoy the small talk. I didn't even ask you how your weekend was yesterday, man. I totally forgot. Sorry.

No, performative small talk. my absolute most favorite thing. So my, oh my goodness, gracious player of Monday was Wascar. Wascar I Noah of the Braves,

their fifth starter as they continued away from Mike Soroka to return. And they might just need to find a way to stick with him because after looking really strong in his first start,

going five two-hit innings against the nationals, he flat out dominated the Marlins on Monday. You know what? His numbers. If I can find them here on my not-so-organized sheet. Ah, yes, six innings, three hits, one-earned-run, run. Ten strikeouts.

Fourteen swinging strikes on just 82 pitches, is all it took him to go with those six innings. Mostly a two-pitch pitcher. In the past, he's led with his slider, which is of course uncommon. Today, he threw the fastball a little more than the slider, but it was about 45% to 45% those two pitches. And I do worry about how sustainable it is being mostly a two pitch pitcher.

He did flash a change up at times too. Of course, rarely when we call a two pitch pitcher, a two pitch pitcher is literally a two pitch pitcher. But, you know, basically two pitches for an o'a. But the fastball was, he averaged 97.2 on the fastball. He's topping triple digits with it. That's two and a half miles per hour harder than we saw him throw last year. And it's looking pretty nasty, this Zenoa guy.

And it's surprising because, I mean, you look at the minor league track record. There's not much there. But, you know, back to back starts. And obviously this one being especially impressive, I think it's time to take a flyer on Mr. Inoa. You know, I was looking through his history, too. Do you know how the Braves got him? I have Enoa idea. It's a talk about like delayed return on investment here.

The Braves got him in 2017 when they traded Jaime Garcia, Anthony Recker, and cash to the twins. Straight up for Enoa. Who out there listening even remembers Jaime Garcia on the breakfast? I remember Jaime Garcia. I remember. He was supposed to be the next Johan Santana

a long, long time ago. Well, not on the Braves, he wasn't. No, no, not on the Braves. Most famously with the Cardinals, of course. Yeah, anyway. Yeah, I know. So, Chris, what do you think about this ENOAA fella? Minor League numbers seem pretty pedestrian.

Does he stay in the rotation once Soroka's good to go? I mean, there are some question marks here. He's only 26% roster, so he's widely available. What do you think? Yeah, it's worth taking a look if he's available and adding him. I think, you know, he'd be well, below, you know, a lot of the guys that we've talked about lately, like Trevor Rogers and you say Kukuchi and, and I think even lower than some of the guys who pitched tonight,

like Freddie Peralta, but, you know, the stuff was very impressive tonight. He looked really good. And it's not just because he was going against the Marlins. Um, like the stuff looked good even before the Marlins tried and failed to swing at it. So, um, I think he's certainly worth adding. You know, I'm not sure he would be inside of my top 80 starting pitchers right now, but, you know, no, it's good to keep looking for it because, yeah, right, there's a lot of people of various league sizes out. You obviously can't drop Rogers for him or, or Freddie Peralta, like he's, I mean, Freddie Peralta on CBS leagues at least, he's closing in on 90% roster ship.

Yeah. You know, if you still got, if you still got a Logan Webb hanging around, if you still got, I don't know. I'd take a fly around and O'O over like Sean Minaya at this point. Yeah, I think that's fair. Man, if you had one more appearance last year, he'd be RP eligible. Is that right? It was five RP appearances?

Yeah. I don't think it's normally 10, but in the short season, lower to five, yeah. Yeah, he made five starts, nine appearances total. If he had made one more relief appearance, he'd be an RP eligible pitcher, and that would be much more valuable in a points league. And just for everyone listening or while, watching out there. This is the gentleman who spells his name, H-U-A-S-C-A-R. It's pronounced

Wascar, like just W-U-N-F-U-N-F-O-S-R, basically. Two things on him, two final things. I am very sad that I lost the tiebreaker bid for him in the Scott White Dynasty League last week, tried to pick him up for $2, so that stunk. And, uh, team name Tuesday. E-N-N-O-N-N-N-N-N-S-N-N-S-O. Yeah. Okay. That was from Mike Davidson on Twitter. I thought that was pretty good. Chris, Oh my goodness gracious from Monday. Frederick Peralta, Freddie Peralta,

10 strikeouts, six innings, two hits allowed. He has a bunch of strikeouts so far this season. And finally, he did not struggle with his control and was really, really good against the Cubs tonight.

Yeah, he's appeared in three games now. He's got 24 strikeouts in 13 innings, but had seven walks and seven innings before this. He's given up five hits. in 13 innings. And Freddie Peralta is incredibly hard to hit. For his career,

he's given up 7.3 hits per nine. He's had one season where that was higher than 6.8 so far out of his three. So very impressed with what Freddie Peralta did today. And I believe he was throwing his slider quite a bit. Yeah, only 57% fastball usage, which for Freddie Peralta, that's like, that's like what Joe Musgrove

did the other night. Freddie Peralta historically has been about an 80% fastball guy, but he threw a slider 32 times change up in curveball 6 and 2 times respectively, but you know, the fact that he's not all fastballs right now is a pretty good sign. And the slider got nine swinging strikes

on 32 pitches. It was like that in the first start for him too. Yeah. It's a slower slider, but I think it's a better slider because it's been his leading whiff getter just in raw total. And he's been really searching for really a second pitch and then a third pitch since getting to the majors.

He's got this really tough fastball that just comes out at a weird angle or he hides the ball well. It's one of those where hitters just can't pick up his fastball and he gets really good numbers with it. And if he feels confident throwing his splitter 30 plus percent of the time, I think Friday Peralta could be really, really good. You mean the slider, right?

because you said splitter. Sorry, sorry, slider. Yeah, just made sure. Yesterday with someone, too. Someone in the YouTube chat called him Fastball Freddy. Fastball Freddy no more. Yeah, he is using that pitch

a lot less than he has in the past and going to that breaking pitch, whether it's a slower slider, more than ever before. He's throwing his fastball 54% of the time this season. That has never been below 73% in any other season. The only thing with Freddie Prawl,

though, there's not really much actionable because, as you mentioned, Scott, he's 90% rostered on CBS. So he is basically rostered in nearly every league, especially in points leagues where he does have that spark eligibility. Scott, where would you rank Peralta just from a pure starting pitcher perspective for fantasy among Trevor Rogers, Carlos Rodon, Yusay Kikuchi, and Stephen Metz? Probably number one.

Probably number one, then Rogers, then Rodon. Still waiting to see that second start for Rodon. It would be nice to get that second start to really lock in. the new point of view I have on him. He had a upset stomach tonight, so he didn't get to go. But maybe tomorrow. I don't think they've confirmed it yet, but yeah, he had a tummy ache. He was scratched on Monday.

Again, that's Carlos Rodon. I think I would take Trevor Rogers ahead of Freddie Peralta, but it is close. I was looking this up earlier. Rogers has the, I think it's the third highest swinging strike rate in the league behind. It's like Jacob de Grom and Shane Bieber. So it's pretty good. I mean, it's already there's been enough outliers weeded out that, because I know the whiff rate Rogers has is comparable to the one DeGrom had last year,

but, you know, after two starts, I would assume there'd be a lot of like outliers, you know, 20% from DeGrom last year was itself an outlier for anything we've seen from a pitcher before. You know, it's kind of interesting. I was just, I was trying to see where Freddie Peralta, would be in my starting pitcher rankings, and I started searching for him and realized he wasn't in there. And I was like, wait, that seems like a big oversight. He's actually not starting pitcher eligible yet. Yeah. So that is why he is not in the starting pitcher ranks.

I did not realize that. Yeah, I guess it's going to take five starts, right, on CBS for him to get starting. Yeah, but, you know, in any league where you're where that matters, you're probably better off using him as an RP. Yeah, absolutely. Chris, what do you think between Freddie Peralta versus Trevor Rogers? I would have Rogers higher I mentioned on yesterday's podcast I move Rogers up to 50

and actually I think I'd move him above Tyler Malley at this point too I think so but don't think so I think Freddie's the right range

yeah I think Freddie would be in that range yeah I think like maybe above Tristan McKenzie but below Jamison Tyone. I think that's where I put him. Yeah. I got McKenzie a lot lower than you do. I did move Trevor Rogers up to

49th. Yesterday I said I was going to put him at 56. And once I started moving things around today, I'm like, nah, I'm just, I'm going to move him ahead of Hermann Marquez and Dallas Keikl and Michael Paneda. I think he has more upside. So Trevor Rogers. Just as a starter, like, him versus Shohei Otani is really interesting. Because like, we don't know when Shohei's going to pitch again.

Yeah. Yeah. He's not going to start this week. he's still dealing with that blister. So just from a pure pitcher perspective, I probably would take Rogers ahead of Otani, but I think this ranking is kind of all-encompassing with everything he does as a hit or two, which is just great again on Monday. Otani, three hits and three RBI.

So the guy is just too bad. It balls over 105 miles per hour today, including 119, which I believe is the hardest hit ball this season. All right, let's get to a few more players here because we already, uh, what are we, 12 minutes into the podcast. Casey Mize against the Astros in AJ Hinch's return to Houston, seven innings of shutout ball with five strikeouts of two walks. He only had six whiffs,

so maybe you don't get too excited about it, but this is the first time in his career. He's completed six innings, and he also went seven innings. So I thought it was pretty impressive to see from Casey Meis going into Houston against a really good lineup, you know, a lineup that really does not swing and miss all that much, and they usually make a lot of hard contact. So 61% rostered is the number for Casey Meis, his start next week, because he is already in a two-star week this week. Start next week will be against the Kansas City Royals.

So I'm just going to run through the list of most added starting pitchers and you guys tell me would you rather have Casey Mize or that pitcher? The most added starting pitch right now is Wade Miley, I assume, because of the two-star week,

but who would you rather have Mize or Miley? Mice. Casey Mize or Johnny Quato? Mice. Casey Mize or Stephen Mice? Mice. I think Mize, but I've been more impressed by Matt so far.

this season. Yeah, that one was super close for me. I think I would lean Mize as well. I think the upside is a little bit higher just because we don't really know what Casey Mize could be yet. Mize or Dane Dunning? Mice. Yeah. I agree. Dane Dunning was really good, but the Rangers are being very cautious with him. He only threw 71 pitches on Monday.

Casey Mize or... What's up? Yeah, that was a plan coming out of spring training. I lowered Dunning. He might be barely inside my top 100 because they wanted him as part of a piggyback situation. So I don't know that you should, you know, maybe he'll be so impressive in these four or five-inning

stints that they'll eventually make him a more traditional starter. By the way, on those 71 pitches, Dunning had, I believe it was just four swinging strikes. He's gone real sinker-heavy with the Rangers, which maybe is going to lead to better outcome overall, but it is going to limit his ceiling if he's, if he's going to be a low, low width pitcher. Yeah, definitely going to lower his ceiling for Roto in terms of getting strikeouts and in points leagues because we do need volume in terms of endings pitched. So I don't know that Dunning is going to give you either one of those things. Casey Mize or John Gray. Mice. Mize or E. Noah. Mize or Rodon. Mize or Rodon.

Finally found, finally found one. I think that's close. Yeah. Meis or Trevor Rogers I may change my mind depending how Rodon does tomorrow but yeah, yeah, Rogers over Mize Mize or you say Kikuchi Oh, what do you do, Chris? Oh, Kikuchi.

Yeah, I would say Kikuchi as well. And last but at least, neither of them are getting many swinging strikes which is kind of interesting. Kikuchi is at least getting strikeouts. Yeah, this was a concern for Mize when he was coming up, not so much a concern but just kind of like

Sixthos Sanchez. Okay, the stuff looks awesome. We have a pretty good feeling he's going to be a good pitcher, but will he be even an average strikeout pitcher? Those questions surrounded Mize just like they did for Sanchez. And now that we see him having success without strikeouts, I think, not an open and shut case, obviously, but it seems like there's something to that. Last but not least, a Battle of the Tigers, Casey Mize or Matthew Boyd. Mice. Oh, mys. I am definitely on an island here, but I'm going to take Matthew Bord. I like what I've seen, and I like his improved, increased change-up usage. I think that's really helped his arsenal so far.

But I do like Casey Mize quite a bit as well. The pressure continues to mount as the world's top teams compete for soccer's most coveted trophy.

Going up against the Texas Rangers, 7 and 2 3rd shutout, two hits, one walk, 14 strikeouts, 27 whiffs on 102 pitches. Tyler Glass now has 29 strikeouts to three walks through his first three starts. And I think he has a legit three pitch arsenal, which is something that has held him back in the past. He was mostly fastball, curbstall in the past. He has this slider-cutter hybrid pitch now

that he used 23% of the time on Monday. I will point out, his three starts have been against the Marlins, the Red Sox, the Rangers, so two of those were great matchups. Scott, is Tyler Glassnow a top 10 starting pitch a rest of season? He would have to leapfrog some real proven talent, but he's making a case for it right now. Yeah. I'm trying to think of who I have at the back end of that.

I feel like it's guys like Flaherty and Bueller. Yeah, that would be Luis Castillo, Jack Flaherty, Clayton, Curshaw, who you have 9, 10, and 11. My biggest concern about Glassnow coming in. was, would he be just a five-inning pitcher? He's gone six-plus in all three starts. He's gone six-plus in all three starts. Part of that is the effect of having that third pitch. They trust him the third time through the lineup more.

He's just been very effective. But that slider, I think on all three of his starts, he's used it even more than his curveball. So he has a lot of trust in it. And it's been effective. And, yeah, I think I'm ready to move him up that high. Now, there's still like the cumulative inning concern where how long has it been since he's taken on a,

you know, had like 150 in a season. I think you've got to go back to like 2017 or something like that. So there is that concern, but I don't, for the rest of that group, there are, the rest of that group has its own concerns. And Glass Now is just blowing everybody away right now. Yeah, I mean,

I'm looking at my pitcher rankings. And the only, if we're just, telling who I think is a better pitcher. I think I, as I get to seven before, I think Glassnow is better than everyone else, just in terms of like who,

if I needed one start, I think I would take Gialito, Darvish, Bauer over him. But like at this point, I, I'm convinced Tyler Glassnow is better than Luis Castillo,

Aaron Nola, Clayton Kershaw. I wouldn't go ahead of Nola personally. I wouldn't go ahead of Nola either. But I was higher on Nola. I mean, Nola's really good, but this, I mean, the version of Tyler Glassnow that we've seen since the start of the 2019 season

has been pretty close to Aaron Nola over that stretch. It's more about innings. And that's where I think, like, I would rank, that's what I'm saying. I would rank, I would probably rank Nola, Kestio, Kershaw, Woodruff over him. But, and I think the same goes for Corbyn Burns. I think Tyler Glass Now and Corbyn Burns, I'm just going to keep moving the two of them up together.

I think they're as good as anyone outside of maybe the top three and maybe the next few. In both cases, it's just I'm still going to be skeptical about how they're going to hold up to a full season and whether they can keep going six innings consistently. That's been an issue for Glassnow in particular.

Burns, it actually hasn't been an issue for him. He just hasn't done it. So I actually may feel more confident than Burns' ability to do it. Like, Glasshouse has given up seven hits in 19 and two-thirds innings, and he has a 194 Babbup.

I thought it was going to be way lower than that, just because he's given up so few. Like, he's just been so utterly dominant. 42% strikeout rate. And he just looks impossible right now. I think he had 27 whiffs today.

That's the sort of number you'd only see last year from DeGrom and then Gialito had a stretch like that too. Yeah. But I know DeGriott's, Grom and Cole are the only two that have done that so far this season. Now, Tyler Glass now joins, you know, obviously those two. But yeah, and in this start, it was like he got back to using the curveball more because

the first couple of starts, he actually didn't really use the curve ball. He got seven whiffs on 19 pitches with that one and six on 23 with the slider. So it's just, I don't know what you do against Tyler Glass now right now. I guess you hope he starts throwing balls. Yeah. Look, there is still downside to him because. Obviously, there's injury risk. He had the forearm a couple of years ago,

and that limited him back in 2019. And the walks were a huge issue issue last year, but maybe this new slider cutter pitch that he has helps him kind of command everything better. I mean, that's kind of been the case for you, Darvish, where Darvish started throwing his cutter, and it helps his command tremendously.

So it could be one of those things where it just ultimately helps all around for Glass Now. So we're going to do some by-low and sell high a little bit later on. Scott, if someone offers you right now, Luis Castillo or Jack Flaherty for Glassnow, you're saying no. I'm saying no. You got to come him stronger than that. You got to come with like, it's got to be then Darvish, sure. Bauer or Gialito or Darvish because that's that next tier. I don't even know if I could trade Tyler Glassnow right now. Just peer, just just just.

Well, that's a cell high. This is the ultimate sell high, right? It's, that's the thing. Like, I'm reluctant to make a move if I'm not confident I'm getting the better. they're into it. So if it's like virtually the same and I just rank one guy a little higher, I just be like, I don't know. I don't want to have the regret of having made that move when I didn't need to. Well,

I think that's kind of the nature of these kind of like challenge trades, right? When you're just trading two very similar players at the same position. And that's why I don't really like ever doing those kind of trades because one, you're inherently not trading from a position of need or of, of strength. Like if you're trading one position for another, unless they're very different players, unless it's like an Alberto Mondesi for Corey Seeger

kind of thing where you're getting very different types of players. But when you're talking about Corbyn Burns and Luis Castillo, or sorry, Tyler Glass now and Luis Castillo, like that's just like maybe one of them sprained their ankle and misses three weeks and you lost the trade that way. Like I think they're so close in value that there's, there's no real reason to make that trade unless you,

believe Tyler Glassnow is just now in the Shane Bieber, Garrick, Jacob de Grom range, which there's a non-zero chance now is what I will say. Yeah, it's not the craziest thing to say. I guess, look, the only way you try to sell high on him for one of those pitchers is if you are actually worried about that forearm elbow popping back up or just the walks coming back. Because at this point, those two things seem like the only thing that can hamper Tyler Glassnow.

Would you try, like, lumping glass now? I know we've talked about glass now for too long, but lumping glass now in with like a mid-level hitter to get like a Shane Bieber? My answer would be yes. You could try that. That would be the only kind of scenario where I see myself moving glass now, though.

Yeah. To get one of those top three starting pitchers. And I guess if you have hitter depth, it's not the craziest thing, right? Yeah. Those guys are just so much more proven. So, yeah, I like that. I like that idea, Scott.

Some news and notes, Zach Allen will return on Tuesday, and start against the Oakland A's. He threw 67 pitches in his most recent rehab start. So maybe he gets up to 80 or so pitches his first time out here against Oakland. Anthony Rendon was placed on the 10-day IL with a strained groin.

He usually misses around 15 to 20 games per season anyway, so hopefully this is the only time he misses this year. Juan Ligaris was also scratched from the lineup for the Angels. Jared Walsh was in right field. A gentleman named Jose Rojas was at third base.

Really interesting minor league numbers for Rojas, by the Anyway, and Albert Pooholz was at first base. Yesterday, I mentioned Joe Adele as a stash due to the Dexter Fowler injury, but a few people hit me up today and they said, don't forget about Brandon Marsh, who might also be close. Brandon Marsh is a 23-year-old prospect for the Angels' former second round pick in 2016, and he has a 799 career OPS in the minors, which is not great,

but he does hit for good batting average and has some speed. He has 12% rostered. So any thoughts on stashing Brandon Marsh right now? he apparently made, he had a really good 2019 Arizona Fall League and apparently had made some changes to his batting stance. I think he's holding his hands further apart or further away from his body

and it was helping him develop more power because he's always been a guy who was, you know, would put on shows in batting practice, but hadn't necessarily figured out how to put that into action during games. I don't know. I've seen people suggest that Brana Marsh might be ahead of Joe Adele

in the Angels hierarchy now. He had a Labrum issue this spring. He didn't even... Yeah, he only had 14 bats in the spring, whereas Adel had... He did get 14. 25 or 25 or so.

My guess would be it's still Adele first, but you know, I guess one thing would be because Adel's service time already started, they could call up Marsh in May and, you know, still keep

Adele, you know, maybe get an extra year of service time or whatever. I generally think I have a mailbag column going out tomorrow. And I wrote about, I generally think the top prospects, and we talked about this a little last week, maybe, but I think we're probably not going to see most of them until the minor league games start. I think it's probably going to be like, you're going to see most of them get like a week or two at least,

even if they just, just a perfunctory, like, oh, he needed to work on his defense, that kind of thing. And, well, there is a. magic date coming up. 16 days into the season is when a, after 16 days is when a team can call up a player keep them up the rest of the season and still

get, you know, it not count as a year of surface time. So that would be Saturday is the first day. They could be called up. I certainly don't expect to see any of them Saturday because that's just too transparent what's happening. If they do it on the exact day.

Yeah. But I was thinking maybe as early as like Monday, we could see Jared Kelnick Wander Franco. Maybe Alex Kirolov, though, I'm less confident in that. Those are really the three I'm looking at hopefully seeing here in

mid to late April. And Tampa could really use the help in their lineup right now because they're just as great as their pitching has been in their bullpen always is. They're just not really hitting the ball well right now. Matt Bush for the Rangers was diagnosed with a flexor tendon train in his right arm on Monday and will miss at least 12

weeks, which is relevant because my man, DeMarcus Evans, through live batting practice on Sunday and he is working his way back from a lat injury. DeMarcus Evans, a prospect for the Rangers back in 2019 in the minors. He had a 0.90 ERA and a 1.03 whip.

How? How can you have a whip higher than your ERA? Well, he walks a lot of guys. But he also strikes everyone out. He had 100 strikeouts and 60 innings pitched with 12 saves. I think eventually Evans could take over as the for the Rangers if Ian Kennedy falters or if he is traded. Carlos Rodon was scratched Monday. We mentioned it with an upset stomach. Dallas

Keikle started in his place. The Diamondbacks placed Christian Walker on the 10-day IL with a right oblique strain as Juba Cabrera started at first base on Monday. Marcus Stroman will start Tuesday against the Phillies after having his start rained out on Sunday. He was originally scheduled to face the Rockies this week in Colorado. So that's an upgrade in matchup, I would say, for Marcus Stroman. Tim Anderson is expected back for the White Sox when first eligible this Thursday. Carlos Carrasco, who is rehabbing his hamstring injury,

has been stretched out to four innings. He is currently week to week, so some good news there on the Carrasco front. Josh Bell, Kyle Schorber, and Josh Harrison were all back in the lineup for the Nationals. On Monday, the first time each of them played this season following their COVID situation there. Luke Void for the Yankees is, quote,

doing really well in his recovery from knee surgery and could begin baseball activities next week. Adrian Mordejohn was placed on the 10-day IL, which we expected with a left forearm strain on Monday. We still don't know who is going to fill in for him, but it doesn't sound like it's going to be Denelson Lamett, at least not this time through the order. There was a report that he needs to make at least one more start at the alternate training site until he joins the Padres. And three games were postponed on Monday, the Red Sox and Twins, the Mariners and Orioles,

and the Phillies Mets. email of the day. This one's from Jeremy. Is this the worst opening week of all time? My commission traded Joe Musgrove of weeks before the season started to the team he was facing in week one. In a close matchup coming down

to the Braves and Phillies game, my commission had closer Will Smith pitching. Because of the blown call at home plate, the commission takes a minus three point hit and loses by one third of a point. On top of that, he had botched LASIC surgery on his eye, this past Friday, though he's going to be fine. So it's good to know that he's going to be all right.

But man, insults injury. You trade Musgrave away. He dominates. He throws a no-hitter. And then you lose on the final play of the week, which was a botch call anyway. That's right. Not great, Bob.

Not great, Bob. Waiverwire starting pitcher where you spoke about most of these names already. Wascar Enoa spoke about Casey Meyes as well. What about these two? Adbert Alzeli and Alex Cobb. Al-Zalai was dealing against the Christian Yellich-Liss Brewer's lineup. Five and a third, three hits, three earned, one walk, six-kays.

The final line, he actually left without allowing a run. The bases were loaded. The Cubs bullpen went on to crap the bed. But 14 whiffs on 68 pitches for Al-Zalai. And if stat cast is correct, he completely ditched his four-scene fastball in the start in favor of his sinker. He is only 31% rostered. Alex Cobb, the other one. five and two thirds, three earned runs, ten strikeouts.

Another one where he actually left with only allowing one run and then the bullpen kind of failed them there. 16 of his whiffs came on the splitter. So between these two... 19 whiffs total, 16 on the splitter. What do you think, Scott? Between Al-Zalai and Cobb, who do you like more? That's a tough question.

It's a tough question because both of them have... Well, at least Al-Zalai in this start. Slider was his most used pitch, and Slider was the pitch he just came up with last year and suddenly started missing bats. It appears to be his best pitch. He threw it more, 47% of the time. And this started according to Stackass.

Splitter's always been known to be Alex Cobb's pitch, but he used it as a secondary pitch. This year in both of his starts, he's used it as his primary pitch. And as we mentioned, it was responsible for 16 of the 19 whiffs. So both of them, Adbert Alzali, Alex Cobb, making the simple adjustment of using their best pitch more,

which is often a recipe for a break, out. You know, as much as I talked up, you know, at the start of the show, I think I would go for both of these guys over him. There's enough potential there. Al-Zalai, would I pray, or ties between Aalai and Cobb? I think. I think Cobb.

Yeah. I think Cobb. Al-Lay is not going to, he's not going to get that young guy treatment, you know? Yeah, like, that's my concern is that Al-Azalai just may be like a five-ish inning guy every time. Right. I wonder, is it as easy as just saying Cobb and points and Alzali and Roto? Because I think the strikeouts could be really good for Alzali. I think they could be good for- Really good for Cobb so far, yeah.

I looked into this. His first four starts last year for Alex Cobby at a 2.75 ERA. His final six starts, 5.23 ERA. So I don't know. We saw him get off to a good start last year, and it didn't really turn into anything. Maybe he's different. I mean, he's throwing a splitter so much more than ever. Not like this.

Not a star like this, and he's not with, he's with the angels instead of the Orioles now, right? Which, you know. Yeah, they did it for Dylan Bundy, right? Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, I, I, look, Cobb has a long track record of mediocrity, but when he was starting out, he was like the next big thing in Tampa and just kind of kind of came unraveled with injuries. And I'm not sure he's been in the right hands since then. There's always been this kind of, I don't know, this residual feeling of like untapped potential

that he'd flash from time to time. And he's flashing it really hard right now. So, like, he's not up there with like the Rogers and Rondones, but he's, he's worth taking a chance on, I think, at this point. All right. I'm going to take Al's Lai and Roto. I'm going to take Cobb in points league. I like both. But, yeah, I was touting Al's Lai before the season.

and so far, and knock up. I hear you on that. Yeah, strikeouts look pretty good there for both, actually. I'm not going to just talk up one and not the other. If you were watching on the video side, don't go anywhere. If you are listening to the audio side, we're going to take a quick break.

But when we return, we have some trade targets, some buy low and sell high. Yes, this early in the season, we'll do it next. Fantasy baseball today. All right, so let's start with some buy low, or you might want to call this one a buy Lau? Brandon Lau, batting 156. to start the season.

And we got a question from Ben via email, Fantasy Baseball at CBSI.com. He said, could you briefly talk about Brandon Lowe's slow start if there's anything concerning? So, Chris, what do you think about Brandon Lowe? Would you actually try to buy low on him or are you worried?

I wasn't super high on Lowe coming into the season. I had him as a, I don't know if he ever made any of my bus columns, but I definitely was lower on him than the consensus. There are lots of reasons. to be concerned. He's been bad so far,

and it's not just because he's hitting 156. You can hit 156 and not be bad, but his average axis of velocity is 84.8 miles per hour. He has zero barrels. He's only his hardest hit ball so far has been 104.8 miles per hour. He's striking out too much. I think he'll get better, but I'm not so high on him that I would make a point of going out to get him.

I think he can be a useful player. I think he can be a fantasy starter. And if someone is really looking to move out from under him, then yeah, I would buy low. But I wouldn't, it's not like I'm looking to do it in any of my leagues right now. I think at the like the depth of the league where you could potentially buy low on LOW, that depth of league he might be on the verge of being dropped. I know I dropped him at one point last year because we saw these dramatic.

swings in production from him. It was a 12 team head to head league, so pretty shallow league. But yeah, it's really hard to say, like, he might hit six home runs next week, you know? Like that, that's what I feel like the kind of player we're dealing with here. Yeah, he is super streaky. Again, the name Brandon Lau. And to start the season, entering Monday, he was 0 for, oh for 9, 12 total played appearances against left-handed pitching, while he was 3 for 23 against right-handed pitching. It just strikes me as a guy who's better for Roto.

You plug them in, end-of-season numbers should hopefully be there, but in a head-to-head points or categories league, man, there's going to be a lot of inconsistency. But specifically in Roto,

if you can get him like super cheap, I still think he can wind up being a 25-ish home-run 10-steel kind of guy. Again, that is Brandon Low. Scott, I texted you earlier and asked if you have any names

that you want to talk about as a by-low, and you said, Marcel Ozuna, although I feel like we can put the entire Braves team on this list outside of Ronald Acuna. Marcel O'Zuna, so far this season,

is betting 139 with a 383 OPS. But he does have a pretty good track record, obviously. Yeah, and he's striking out over 35% of the time. There's really been nothing redeeming about his start to the season. And I can't really give you a spin like, oh, well, this number looks good, so he's going to be fine. I just think it's 10 games.

I have a pretty good idea of who Marcelo Zuna is. I'm not going to abandon that after 10 games. and if somebody else wants to do that, I'll happily take advantage. Well, Chris, earlier you said that you can hit 156 or whatever and actually still be a good baseball player. That's exactly how I feel about Ozzy Albies, who, despite batting 135, has a 296 expected batting average. He has a 270 slugging percentage with a 515 expected slugs. So it's going to take a little bit more because obviously Albies was either a third or fourth round pick depending on your league. but if anybody is freaking out,

this is, you know, one of those players that I think you should try and get. Yeah, I wouldn't be worried about him. I don't think he's going to slug 515 and hit 320 or whatever the numbers are,

but I think he's going to be just fine. Like, this is the kind of thing. I think with most of these guys, just remember, remind yourself, it's two weeks. It's not even two weeks into the season.

We're 12 days, 13 days into the season. So like... Stop the segment. Stop the second. Anything can happen in two weeks. What happened, Scott? Lucas Sims just got the save for the Reds.

Oh. Mayor Garrett's been bad so far. He didn't even work in the game. He didn't even work. It was Wade Miley for six. Five. T.J. Anton for two. And then Lucas Sims comes in and gets the save.

Anton hadn't. I'm sorry. I'm seeing Miley for 5, Anton for 3.2, and then Sims got the final out. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing too. Sims literally got one out and he got the save. Oh, man, this is, I'm very frustrated right now because I started. Okay, so, okay. Sorry about that.

I think that might just be, he happened to be warming up at that moment. Although, like, I think it's not 100% guaranteed that Amir Garak gets the next save. No, it's not. As much as we like him, he's really only had the short good season in the majors. He hasn't been a particularly consistent pitcher. It's not like he has a huge trackard

to fall back on. I am just so frustrated because in a very deep league, I started Corey Caneval over Lucas Sims this week. A leak that I could really use saves too, so that hurts. Don't love that one. You missed out.

on a save. Yep, that's not a great feeling. Let's hit a few more bylaws here. A few outfielders that have pretty fair track records. Charlie Blackman and Tommy fan, both off to very slow starts here, Scott. Which one would you, I mean, is there anything that you're seeing from either one that makes you very confident that they're going to bounce back outside of their track record, obviously? No.

To be honest, I haven't had reason to look into them yet. Well, they're both batting below 200. actually hitting the ball much harder than he usually does and striking out less. So then immediately that stands out to me. It's worth pointing out. I think they've played seven to ten games at home or six of nine, whatever it is. You feel like you should have put up better numbers there. Come on, Blackman.

Yeah. No, I think Blackman is a by-low candidate. I think he's a legitimate by-low candidate. He's one of the few that I would actually try to go out and get right now because there's a decent chance. It's all about perception. I think there's a decent chance that the person who drafts. to Charlie Blackman was just like, oh, fine. I'll take Charlie Blackman.

Yeah. Ugh. And so they probably view him as somewhat risky or possibly expendable anyway. And I don't think he is. I think as long as he calls course field home, he's probably going to hit $2.90 or better. Yeah. And I don't see any cause for alarm here with FAM either.

He's just had so many, so many setbacks over the years that you just wonder, he's not a young guy, he's 33, you just wonder if it, I wondered already coming into the season if it was catching up to him, but as a general rule, anybody who was drafted inside the top 100,

or even later than that, if it's like a roto league, I'll buy low on any of them, you know? Like, that's not a player that I've abandoned hope for. Yeah, I'm in on Tommy fans. I like him coming into the year. He's batting 118. His expected batting average is 253.

His slugging percentage is 118 as well. His expected slug is 521. So Tommy Fam is actually making pretty hard contact. Just doesn't really have much to show for it. And anytime you can get exposure to the Padres lineup, one of the best in baseball, it's something I would look into doing. For the Yankees, I mean,

they're struggling up and down a lot like the Braves lineup thus far. Is there anyone that you wouldn't want to buy low on? like obviously Stanton, we liked him coming in. Glaber Torres, you know, kind of want to see something out of him after a really bad 2020 season. Clint Frazier had sat out two games before playing on Monday, and he's batting 185.

Is there anyone that you would actively not try to target as a by-low? It would have to be a pretty deep league for me to call Frazier a by-low, I think. Like, I think Frazier's better than this. I think he's probably going to be fine. but in like a 12-team-3 outfielder league, I'm probably closer to dropping him than trading for him just because only so many outfielders can be rostered.

It was a five-out-out-fielder league, like a 15-team-five outfielder league, you know, then I could see how I might consider Frazier or buy-low. Chris, we made a trade today. We did, and I just want one quick thing. Sure. Shoha Tani is one of three hitters in baseball this season with two batted balls of at least 115 miles per hour.

Bryce Harper is one of the other ones. Him and Otani both have two. Let me see. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. So the nine other hitters who have hit a ball at least 115 miles per hour have 11 of them combined between them. John Carlos Stanton by himself has five. Five bad at balls over 115 miles per hour.

Buy low on John Carlos Stanton. Go get John Carlos Stanton. We made a trade, Chris, earlier. Speaking of Otani, I traded you Keshen Hiura in a points league and you gave us Shohei Otani which in a weekly points league, it's probably

Otani's least valuable format I would say, but he's still awesome so I was like... That was why I was willing to trade him. If it was a different type of format I think you know that that's, you know, I would prefer not to move him but I wasn't using him as a starter

starting pitcher or a DH. Um, So I felt comfortable that I could move him. I had lost Cattel Marte. I was scrambling in a lot of leagues to replace Cotel Marte in my lineup this week. And I just figured I'd aim for some upside. I noticed you had Custin here on the bench. I figured you'd go for it.

It's definitely a trade I could lose. I think there's a lot of risk. But I was looking for upside with my second base replacement. I can slide him to first base if I need to eventually. if he does figure it out. And one thing I'm looking for with Kestanhira is reasons to be optimistic. And on Saturday, he had four batted balls of at least 101.9 miles per hour. That's really, really good.

That's really, really rare. And, you know, it's just a sign to me that, you know, maybe he's starting to figure things out. It was also, I think, the first game of the season where he didn't strike out twice. I believe he didn't strike out twice again today. So it's all about baby steps here with my guy Kestin Hira. But yeah, it was an upside trade. I readily acknowledge the risk, but I think there's risk going both ways. Shahatani, I think obviously has a lot of risk.

When you're keeping track of your, if your hitters are striking out two times or more in a game. Yeah, that was, that's what I was looking for. Just one. You weren't trading for Jorge Salare, who, you're, what do you have like nine, eight, nine, straight at bats with his dragout. Yeah. So, you know, things could be worse for Keston here.

You know, you make all your jokes, but it could always be worse. He's not Jorge Saler. At least he's not Jorge Saler. Three potential sell high candidates. Just let me know if you think they actually are not. Will Myers, who, Scott, I know you liked,

and he was another one where I felt like not to the same extent as Blackman, but people were kind of, I don't really know how to feel about Will Myers. He was really good for two months last year, yada, yada. He's been really good thus far. three for five on Monday with his third home run of the season.

He had five RBI. He's now batting 350 with an 1110 OPS. Nolan Aronado is thus far hitting 300 with a 849 OPS. He did have three strikeouts on Monday. And Randy Rosarena, apparently severely outperforming his expected stats thus far. I think he has something like a 70% ground ball rate and a 32% strikeout rate.

Those aren't really good numbers. So between Myers, Aronado, Arizona, Arizona, a rose of Raina, would you be trying to sell high on any of them early in the season? I don't think so. Like, if you're telling me I could have Ozuna for Will Myers, then yeah, but it would have to be very high that I'm selling him. And I just, like, I don't often do a sell high trade

because I think it's very transparent what I'm trying to do and people just say no on principle. But, you know, I believed in Will Myers coming in. I still believe in him. I think he's going to keep putting up good numbers for me. A Rosa Rana I have the least confidence in, but I also don't think he's, I

don't know that the receiver would feel so confident they're buying high because, or that I don't think it's high enough that you could call it a sell high really because he's underperformed his draft position still, right? Yeah. Yeah. Before we hit on the rest of Monday's action, just wanted to

The fastball velocity was up almost a tick from last year. Any takeaways, Robbie Ray? What's almost a tick mean? It was 0.8 miles per hour. Is a tick a definite unit of measurement? Because I always assumed it was just... I always assumed. thought a tick was one mile per hour.

Okay. I'm, yeah, I'm, maybe it is. I'm fairly confident. Yeah. I've used a tick just,

it's a colloquialism, but I've used to tick as, you know, as a, as a, as an integer. Yeah, like a one,

one mile per hour generally. I just thought it was like an indefinite measurement. Maybe you're right. I don't know now. Now I'm second. I'm willing to be wrong. I've never had it explained to me.

That's just how I interpreted. It's a colloquial term. Don't let Scott talk you out of it. Well, today on the adventures of what's falling in Chris Towers' room, because that was my space heater under my desk. It's been cold the last few days. I accidentally kicked it. I'm sorry. Since Nate Lowe's two Homer game, he is 0 for 17 with eight strikeouts.

So good thing. I was excited about him last week. Scott, would you drop Nate Lowe right now the way that he's playing? Well, I did have in my sleeper hitters for. this week. So I hope he turns things around just for that. I mean, I don't like how much he's striking out. I like the playing time he's getting. I like the power he's shown, but got to cut down on those strikeouts or I just, I don't think he's going to meet the mixed league threshold if he does that. So I think he's, I think he's expendable and anything shallower than 15 teams.

Would you rather have him or Akeel Badu if you just need a hit him? Yeah, Padue hit him. Another home run. The badoo. I'm taking Badu even in shallow. league. He had a 450 foot home run today. And it was off of Zach Granky too. He's got legit major league skills. I like him.

I like, but do quite a bit. Sandy Alcantaro was at the Braves. Six and a third. Four hits, three runs. Three walks to four strikeouts, not the best, but obviously tougher matchup here against the Braves. He has delivered a quality start in each of his first three games. That is Sandy Alcatara.

Speaking of Zach Granky, going up against the Tigers, cakewalk, right? It's great matchup. thirds, 10 hits, six earned, three walks. He threw a 51 mile per hour, Ephes pitch. Apparently, the slowest pitch in a game since 2008. Was this just a hiccup for Grinke or anything actually concerning? Just a hiccup. Fair enough. I'm inclined to say that also, though his velocity has been closer to 2020 than anything that came before 2020. Probably that his 2020 was not his greatest season. His peripherals were mostly fine. I'm not worried. We already spoke about Lucas Sims in that

Reds game. Wade Miley, the final line, five shutout with three strikeouts. Is anybody actually excited about Wade Miley or is it just, hey, he gave me a good start in a two-star week? I haven't been excited about Miley since he signed with the Astros back when we thought the Astros were magical. Right. And no, he has good starts from time. to die. And he wouldn't have lasted so long if he, if that wasn't the case. He's a streamer.

If you play in a daily lineup league, I will say his next star comes against Cleveland. So obviously we like streaming pitchers against Cleveland. Tyler Naquin, Scott, you just spent a whole bunch of money on him. He was out of the lineup on Monday. Jesse Winker went two for four with his first home run of the season.

Doesn't really bode well for, for Naquin. And this is, this is kind of the issue that we brought up with him, right? If everyone's healthy, is Natewin's still going to play every day? I don't know. The last time Winker returned for a game, they gave Senzel a day off.

It didn't surprise me, Winker coming back and them not wanting to give Senzell a day off today. Maybe Castiano's gets a day off tomorrow. I don't know. I don't think they're just going to straight up bench, Naquin, but it will eventually get to that point if he doesn't keep performing. We have five minutes left on the podcast, and I have a lot I want to get to. So rapid fire, everything, deep waiver wire names. Renato Nunez. first game with the Tigers.

Second game with the Tigers? I don't know. He went two for four with a double and a home run. He is 4% rostered. Jed Lowry has had multiple hits in three straight. He's batting third for the Oakland A's

16% rostered. And Trevor Cahill, five endings of one run ball with eight strikeouts against the Padres and he is SPARP eligible. So kind of interesting. Nunez, Lowry, Trevor Cahill. Any interest, Chris?

Deeper leagues. I think Nunez and Lowry are both worth a look and I actually added Lowry and started him this week in several leagues. He is my Cattelmarte replacement in several leagues because there just weren't a lot of good second base options. But, you know, there's been some stuff that's come out about the way the Mets handled him. And they, he needed to get knee surgery and they wouldn't let him get knee surgery. he says he feels better than he has in years

which given the fact that he's barely played over the last two seasons that that seems like a given yeah I feel like he was his last the last time he actually was able to play he was pretty good right it's going back so so far that

2018 yeah contract with the Mets yeah 2018 he had 23 homers 99 RBI 78 runs 8.01 OPS. He had an 808 OPS the season prior. So I think he's at least worth taking a look at. The problem is, you know, he's probably better in a points league. And there's not, sorry, you wanted to go fast. Jeff Lauer.

No, it's the worst rapid fires segment ever. Yeah, if you want to just talk about Jed Lurie for five more minutes, Chris, if you could just end the podcast. Yeah, I think we probably should. So Jed Lauer was born in 1972. We are going to update you on every bullpen. Well, not every bullpen, but anything that mattered from Monday, Diego Castillo allowed a hit and a walk.

He picked up his third save of the season. Yami Garcia recorded four outs across the ninth and the tenth inning. Came away with the win for the Marlins. Anthony Bass was used in the seventh. For the brewer, Josh Hader picked up his first save of the season. For the nationals, Brad Hand picked up his first save of the season. But it took him 26 pitches to do so. Maybe he doesn't pitch tomorrow.

For Cleveland, it was a lot of guys back, by the way. Josh Bell, back in the lineup, Kyle Schwerber. It was hands first appearance of the season, right? I believe so. For Cleveland. He'd been back a couple days, but I think so. Emmanuel Class A took the loss on Monday. He was pitching in a tie game in the ninth.

Yu Chang threw the ball away with runners on first and second. So I still think Class A is the guy, but we'll see. No worries. For the Pirates, Richard Rodriguez, pitched a scoreless ninth with them down 6 to 2. That's going to happen a lot this season for the Pirates. To stream or not to stream for Tuesday, for anyone in a daily lineup league, you're looking to pick someone up and stream them.

Matthew Boyd at Houston. Yeah, you're Ney. You're the Boyd guy, Frank. What do you say? I know Casey Mize just looked good, but we'll take a wait-and-see approach here against Houston. You wanted Boyd over Mize. What are you talking about?

That's fine. I'll still defend that. I don't want to start them against Houston. Jake Oterese on the other side against the Tigers No Yeah

Coming off the IL Yeah I would want to give him one Nick Margivicious At the Orioles No Kyle Gibson at Tampa Bay Yeah

I'd rather not He was in my Sleeper pitchers For the two-star week But if you're just talking I stream him for one start Dangerous Danny Duffy versus the Angels
