[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the Toolshed, a podcast covering all levels of professional baseball to help give you the edge in your dynasty leagues, from the MLB draft, all the way to the show.

[SPEAKER_01]: The Toolshed podcast has you covered with rankings, player analysis, and in-depth discussion.

[SPEAKER_01]: And now, here's your host, Eric Cross.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's up everyone?

[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome in to another episode of the toolshed podcast brought to you by a roto baller.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is episode 422.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for joining me.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your host Eric Cross.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can find me on Twitter at Eric Cross MLB and the show is at toolshed pod.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is November 18th hard to believe it's already getting near the end of November.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks giving [SPEAKER_00]: But hey, we got 20, 26 drafts already underway for all of us degenerates that cannot wait and even if you can wait, you know, maybe you're doing some prep for next year, it's never too early to get ready for your drafts, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, or we just all love baseball and love listening and talking about baseball, that is absolutely fine.

[SPEAKER_00]: as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: This episode will be geared a little bit more towards those early 20 26 drafts, looking at some of the early rookie ADP in NFPC drafts.

[SPEAKER_00]: There have been a few handfuls or a few dozen NFPC drafts so far, some of their draft champion drafts, which are 50 round draft and [SPEAKER_00]: So we get a little bit of sample size, not a massive sample size, but not a tiny one either.

[SPEAKER_00]: We have some decent data at this point.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we have a rough idea of where people will be going.

[SPEAKER_00]: So far in drafts, obviously, many things will change over the course of the next, you know, a couple months, especially when spring training starts, roles become more clear, players move around.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there will definitely be some changes in 80P as there always is, [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to be fun just to look at where some of the hot rookie names and you know prospect names are going right now just to see see where they are it's too high too low what we think but I think really just me rolling solo in this episode but before we get into everything the usual housekeeping if you enjoy the podcast please write and review you can find all the my content either on [SPEAKER_00]: on rotobonger or over on my patreon tool should fantasy.com, still popping out a ton of content on both places, especially on my patreon, got plenty of, you know, already as you already have all of my 2026 weed draft rankings up, positionally and overall.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're going through all of my positional prospect and dynasty rankings.

[SPEAKER_00]: Roughly halfway through that, have catch your first and second done for both prospect and dynasty.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just release my third base prospect rankings, third base dynasty up next.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then the big boys getting a short stop outfield and pitcher.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I got baseball pumping out there football basketball hockey, whatever you want, what a baller's got.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so I posted this couple of days ago, and I'll see actually yesterday, as you're listening to this, I posted this on Monday.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there might have been another draft for two completed, but [SPEAKER_00]: This will haven't changed too much since then, but it's very pitcher-heavy in the top.

[SPEAKER_00]: The first four rookie or prospect names are Nolan McLean, Chase Burns, Treyus Savage, and Bubba Chandler.

[SPEAKER_00]: Chase Burns has graduated if you use the 45-day service time eligibility.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's using in-expitched and at bats are so much easier.

[SPEAKER_00]: So for me, he's still on my rankings.

[SPEAKER_00]: So McLean is going off the board around pick 113.

[SPEAKER_00]: Burns 125.

[SPEAKER_00]: You savage 151 and Bubba Chandler 163.

[SPEAKER_00]: Talk to a little bit about kind of this cluster with Paul Spore last week, episode 421, be missed that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Go back and check that out.

[SPEAKER_00]: Always great talking with Paul.

[SPEAKER_00]: One of these sharpest minds around.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the best dudes around.

[SPEAKER_00]: just a great guy love talking with him.

[SPEAKER_00]: He should his insights on a lot of the the rookie arms from this past year and we did we did talk a little bit McLean and you savage and just this general area of kind of the upside or as Eno Saras says the hype 7 you can probably even extend that a bit further than the hype 7.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of fun [SPEAKER_00]: Young arms, you know, there's a handful of rookies, some second-year guys, you know, at the Kim Schlittlers of the world, you know, Tetsuya MI, a little bit later than that, but, uh, definitely a lot of interesting young pitchers this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so this range right here, [SPEAKER_00]: Generally, in that, you know, that one tend to one 50, one 60 range, more often than not, you're probably getting your SP3.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe your SP4, maybe you'll wait, get your SP2.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you like go a more hit or heavy early on, but I feel like the average would be your SP3 in this range.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I actually love that.

[SPEAKER_00]: If I have two starters, I already feel pretty good about like, [SPEAKER_00]: overall ADP here.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let's say I went with, let's go, Christopher Sanchez and like the third and then his ADP is 34 right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then follow that up with like a Spencer Schwellenbach and like that was at 6 to 7th round.

[SPEAKER_00]: His ADP is around 80.

[SPEAKER_00]: So those are like my number one, [SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty pral to just really any combination of ace and number two that I felt good about I didn't go, you know, Blake's now, for instance, you know, that would be one where I don't know if I feel so great about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's going right in the middle of those last two names.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's going around on 55 to 60, but if I had two starters, I felt pretty good about [SPEAKER_00]: I would absolutely love to grab an upside guy as my number three because all one of these guys, really all of these guys in this range, well, they might be drafted as three or fours.

[SPEAKER_00]: They all have the upside to give you SP2 value this year or next year, 2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: I won't go as far as saying a subside though.

[SPEAKER_00]: I might with guys like Chase Burns or even McLean, but they all have the upside at least to be S-P2s.

[SPEAKER_00]: or return SB2 value, I should say.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we've seen it in various places from them already, whether it being what they did in the minor leagues, what they've done so far in the majors.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if I went to Sanchez and Freddie Pralto, Logan Web, Schwellenbach, whatever combination, one, two, and then I put like a burn just my three.

[SPEAKER_00]: When McLean is my three, I would like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Bob or Chandler, you savage, they might be more in that SP4 range.

[SPEAKER_00]: There are a couple rounds, like two, three rounds behind McLean and Burns.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know if I double tap.

[SPEAKER_00]: on the upside guys in this range that's risky.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's a lot of fun though.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're looking for upside and you want double top, especially if you want with like two super safe guys, let's say you went Sanchez and Web, two probably of the safest dudes out there.

[SPEAKER_00]: then maybe going back to back upside plays here, going with burns in your savage or something like that, isn't the worst of the, it's still a little risky, but has the potential to pay massive dividends as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: For me personally, I've become more risk adverse over the years, and especially as I've done more and more prospect work over the years, [SPEAKER_00]: which is kind of funny.

[SPEAKER_00]: You think as a prospect guy or, you know, I'm not just a prospect guy, obviously, but obviously, I do a lot of prospect work.

[SPEAKER_00]: So you figure out as someone that who does a lot of prospect work and does prospect rankings, talks about prospects on this podcast, you'd think I'd be someone that might go after these guys a little more heavily.

[SPEAKER_00]: And 10 years ago, I absolutely did.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've always had a pretty good level of success.

[SPEAKER_00]: blank fantasy, both in redraft and dynasty, but the times where I've gotten myself in the trouble was one I went to, you know, rookie heavy to upside heavy is more often than not, that's not going to work out for you.

[SPEAKER_00]: There will be times when absolutely does, and it has to me over the years, I've gotten some, you know, I've gotten some of the big rookies over the years.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I had curbs this past year, for example, for the most recent example, but [SPEAKER_00]: I've also, you know, I hate to bring up this name, but I also have drafted plenty of Jared Kelnick's, you know, over the years, too.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we've seen even the guys that are supposed to be the most sure thing, not pan out.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, some of them do pan out eventually, others never, or, you know, just not to the level that people hoped for.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it's just risky.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I've been more and more risk adverse over the years, especially the last few years.

[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely will take some upside shots, but I think I've become a lot more strategic and have a better game plan of when I want to go with the upside plays.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, if I, I'm never going to get Blake's now.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's on like my do not draft list.

[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously he's great and all and as Sion, Calber up side and as one, two Sions when he's healthy.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would not, if I had any doubts about my top two guys and it's hard to have zero doubts about any pictures these days, but if I had doubts, I won't be going super upside in this middle rounds, but again, if I felt good about those guys are fairly good, then yeah, I would love to get McLean.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would love to get burns.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now those are the two here more so than you savage and Chandler, though I do like those guys a good bit.

[SPEAKER_00]: The two I'd really be looking to get in this range, out of these four arm accline and a chase burns.

[SPEAKER_00]: We saw McLean abs to loosely dominate.

[SPEAKER_00]: after he got caught up eight starts two zero six ERA one zero four whip thirty and a half per percent strike out rate eight and a half percent walk rates short of the x-yra was you know I run in a half higher who cares me this guy is an absolute beast the movement is just insane spin right he has two offerings without you know average spin right above twenty nine hundred rpm's [SPEAKER_00]: sweeper at 2929, curveball at 32 48.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's watched this guy pitch.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is really really fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: That curveball was just devastating in the major leagues this past year.

[SPEAKER_00]: He threw it about 16% of the time average 80 miles an hour.

[SPEAKER_00]: are on it had 19 strikeouts on the on the pitch on the eight possible play 0.74 betting average against 0.74 slugs.

[SPEAKER_00]: So zero x with it's allowed just two singles and 27 at bats 0.88 Wolba and a 50% with rate on the nose and that sweeper even know the the betting average against was higher.

[SPEAKER_00]: That sweepers nasty tail like this guy knows how to spin it.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and he gets ground balls too.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, [SPEAKER_00]: It's not very often you see someone that can miss bats like no one McLean can and get ground balls at the level he can, but he had a 60% round ball rate last year to go with a three percent strike.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have to look and I'm going to actually get to pull this up at some point and probably tweet it out tonight.

[SPEAKER_00]: So before you listen to this podcast, [SPEAKER_00]: just to see like how many guys last year had both a 60% K rate, a should be 60% ground ball rate in a 30% strike out rate.

[SPEAKER_00]: Probably as many and probably hasn't been many examples of that at all, you know, over the last, you know, several years or so.

[SPEAKER_00]: but when you have the stuff he has with the sinker that he has, that's what you come up with.

[SPEAKER_00]: And to think that he's still kind of just scratching the surface as a pitcher, it's scary because he's a two-way guy up until real thick and about two years ago, but last two seasons is when he's gone full pitcher, 2023, he was still a two-way guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what he was drafted as, you know, back in 2023, he was a third rounder.

[SPEAKER_00]: two way guy now he's just pitcher only and we're seeing what has happened with him once he's solely focused on pitching and then chase burns man like I don't think any pitching prospects really any even throwing the second year guys you know I'll all the way up to like a Paul schemes like the third year like Paul schemes like nobody else outside of obviously schemes I think has more upside than chase burns [SPEAKER_00]: though as we mentioned last week like I won't get super in death of burns we did last week but you know he is primarily a two-pitch guy right now not it was at 90 quick math 92.6% of his pitches last year with the reds were four-seam slider you know obviously the four-seamer [SPEAKER_00]: Slider is, I think one of the better sliders in baseball already, 43.7% away freight on that, you can miss bats with the foreseamer as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: You could say he was a three-pitch guy against lefties, because that change up he used 10% of the time against lefties, only, you know, really was just two pitches, 99% of his pitches against varieties where foreseemed slider.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, we'd love to see him use the change at more.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he threw the occasional sink or cutter.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that cutter could be a really good offering.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, write ease.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to see him try to get that into the mix more or just something.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just here, not primarily two-bitch guys as we've seen.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's hard to sustain a high level of success over a long period of time being primarily a two-page guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I was so against glass now, you know, I was so at the injuries, but once glass now added the third pitch, you know, I still hasn't due to the injuries, but I was more intrigued by [SPEAKER_00]: the, you know, the pitch mix at that point.

[SPEAKER_00]: So love burns.

[SPEAKER_00]: Still some work to be done without the see him coming to spring with, you know, maybe a new look offering or, you know, we use a change at more cut or more.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he adds a new pitch, you know, maybe he uses the curve ball more.

[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever it may be, I would just love to see, you know, a more vast and diverse arsenal from burns, but the upside is enormous 35 and a half percent K rate in the majors.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was about 40 [SPEAKER_00]: Absolute beast and then Chandler in your savage again.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'd be fine with them.

[SPEAKER_00]: I want be it feel great about them as my three Four sure I could get behind you savage and Chandler as my four and out of those two I do lean you savage those are coming year.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think long term they're very close, but I Wonder if Pittsburgh babies Chandler a bit.

[SPEAKER_00]: I feel if you could see [SPEAKER_00]: You know, probably 20, 25, 30 more innings out of you savage who have already as his feet a little more wet than Chandler does.

[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously he's already pitched on the biggest stage dominant outings in the postseason, including the world series.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I do lean, you savage over Chandler.

[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm going that way, my draft, but again.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would rather have them as my SP4 than my SP3.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then we finally get to the first rookie slash prospect hitter in ADP for 2026, Samuel Bessayo, going 173.7 on average.

[SPEAKER_00]: And really two of the, it's funny.

[SPEAKER_00]: The first three rookie hitters.

[SPEAKER_00]: an ADP, twoer catchers, and one is from Japan.

[SPEAKER_00]: Not usually what you see, but you've got Basayo at 173, you've got Munutaka Murakami at 22212, and then Carter Jensen to 21, and then the fourth hitter, so we'll kind of do that another cluster of four here, fourth hitter is South Stewart 233.

[SPEAKER_00]: Out of these four, [SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be one, I'm going to be targeting heavily as two that I probably will not get and one that I can see myself getting in two catcher formats.

[SPEAKER_00]: The two that I don't believe I'll have any shares of and that's not necessarily me saying I don't like the talent but I don't see myself having a lot of redraft shares of [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Bessayo, I think this is, I think the ADV is going to keep pushing up, it's probably more around like the 150 range, especially in these two catcher NFVC formats, like any ADP you hear me say in this episode about catchers, which actually I'm not, I'm looking at my list is just a Bessayo and Carter Jensen.

[SPEAKER_00]: it's a little bit higher than you'll see on like a Yahoo or whatever because these are two two-catcher formats.

[SPEAKER_00]: These guys get pushed up.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think good, I don't know, 10, 15% or something like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe besides more like 200 on Yahoo and Carter Jensen's more like, you know, 250 or something like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: But besides, I think it should get pushed up even higher than this as we close our closer to the season.

[SPEAKER_00]: Plenty of power.

[SPEAKER_00]: I do have some concerns about the average early on.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he's only a 240 first year.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the catcher is just so deep as it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm probably going to be more inclined to go after, you know, an Augustine Ramirez, a Drake ballad win.

[SPEAKER_00]: Shea Langoliers, even [SPEAKER_00]: speck Adley Richman for cheap, you know, maybe even Ali-Hundro Kirk, or if I want to go a little bit higher, y'all know I love love, love Ben Rice.

[SPEAKER_00]: It pains me.

[SPEAKER_00]: How much I love Ben Rice?

[SPEAKER_00]: He's a Yankee and I'm a Red Sox fan, but hey, I don't discriminate on what team you play for, you know, I wish I'd rather have love to have Ben Rice on the Red Sox.

[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be phenomenal.

[SPEAKER_00]: But obviously he's on the Yankee.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's [SPEAKER_00]: right now, but to give in all the other options at catcher, I just don't think I'm going to see the silo in a spot where I want to take him.

[SPEAKER_00]: But Carter, Jensen, I can see getting him.

[SPEAKER_00]: If I want to go second catcher early in those types of formats, I feel really good with Jensen as I can see to like high-end C2.

[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I have him ranked right around 15, 16 or something like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: in my read-out frankings for ket, just.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I can definitely get behind having Jensen as a high-end C2.

[SPEAKER_00]: I want to have him as my C1 if I waited that position, but C2, that a lot plenty of power.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he had some of the best quality of contact metrics in AAA last year, you know, hard hit rate was well over 50%.

[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't quite on like Roman Anthony [SPEAKER_00]: Not far off either.

[SPEAKER_00]: So he's a guy I can see getting on some of those teams and those formats, but don't seem to get in the silo probably not Murakami either.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's plenty of power we've seen that, you know, he's still pretty young for a guy coming over, but [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't know where the averages we've seen, you know, the contact issues.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've tweeted out some of the, are we tweeted some of the posts I've seen from, you know, people that have seen, murder calming that cover, you know, baseball.

[SPEAKER_00]: in that part of the world.

[SPEAKER_00]: And there's issues over, for all making contact, you know, contact, overall is below 70% against both varieties and lefties, zone, contact was under 77%, against both varieties and lefties.

[SPEAKER_00]: He struggled, hit under 200 against, you know, that's possible of 93.

[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, you could say that he's still fairly young and that he's going to just as he comes over and gets used to a new league, where the average fast move velocity I believe is like two-ish miles an hour higher.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think average below in Japan is like 90, low to mid-92, when the over here in the states, it's more like 94 and a half, I'm like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, you could say that he's going to just, that absolutely can happen, [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's going to be a bigger, kind of adjustment period for more economy than the melt.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're seeing probably a lower average.

[SPEAKER_00]: The start, and maybe that could come with 25 30 home runs, we're off the bat, but it's hitting 220 right away.

[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see the landing spot.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that could really influence things a little bit, but I just don't see myself.

[SPEAKER_00]: If he falls more like 250, which I doubt he will, I actually bet more on his ADP being.

[SPEAKER_00]: Inside the top 200, especially after he signs, then it moving down.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I just don't see that being an investment I want to take, but South Stewart however, we up 100% signed me up, I love South Stewart.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you are a member of my Patreon and read my 2026 player profile on South Stewart, [SPEAKER_00]: And my projection for him is pretty solid this year, and I've always been really self-circuit.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's still, he's only 21.

[SPEAKER_00]: He feels like a guy that should be like 24.

[SPEAKER_00]: One of those, like, slightly older prospects, but now he's still only 21.

[SPEAKER_00]: Do I do think he's 22 fairly soon, but 22 years old for next season, just a guy that has hit everywhere he's gone.

[SPEAKER_00]: And not the flashiest guy in the world, like he's not an LED, a La Cruz type, you know, not even like a Maddie McLean type.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's more like, I hate to keep using this guy as an example, but a Brian Reynolds type.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know Reynolds and have the greatest of years, but just think about what Brian Reynolds has been.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just don't really solid hit her.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's the easiest way to describe Bryan Reynolds and not flashy, but high floor, really solid hitter in a guy that, you know, you love having that you need to have those types on your fantasy team.

[SPEAKER_00]: You look at what Stewart did in the minor leagues and Major League's last [SPEAKER_00]: 34 doubles, 20 home runs, 17 steals, 309 and 383, 35, 24 slash line, came up for 18 games was Cincinnati.

[SPEAKER_00]: It five home runs with the 255, 293, 545 slash line.

[SPEAKER_00]: and was hitting the ball hard all season, above average to plus power guy, you saw that in this 40 bad at balls with the reds, 52 and 1.5% heart hit rate, 17 and 1.5%.

[SPEAKER_00]: Barrel rate average EV of 95 and 1.5 miles an hour.

[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, the key rate went up a little bit, Walker rate was lower than you saw from him into minor leagues.

[SPEAKER_00]: not really worried about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Love the ballpark.

[SPEAKER_00]: Good contact guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: Always been a pretty solid approach guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: It hits the ball and I deal angles.

[SPEAKER_00]: Air rate, pull rate, pull air rate.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're all very, very promising for power this past year.

[SPEAKER_00]: 65% air rate.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you two and a half percent pull, 30% pull air.

[SPEAKER_00]: got to love that.

[SPEAKER_00]: He can hit breaking balls.

[SPEAKER_00]: He can hit off speed.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's no real issues there at a 74% contact rate or higher on all three pitch types.

[SPEAKER_00]: Got to love that.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, again, not a guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the speed's going to be there more than like 5 to 10.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I won't expect him to go push in 20, but if you can give you a 5-10 steel, it's 20 push home runs.

[SPEAKER_00]: Get 26-year higher.

[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously a great ballpark.

[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty good lineup.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love Stewart.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to get him as a corner in the fielder.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be mostly just first base eligible to start the year for the most part maybe he'll have their base some leagues a month quite sure, but I think most formats will just be first base, especially NFBC.

[SPEAKER_00]: But getting him is like a quarter in filter.

[SPEAKER_00]: I am all for that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's gonna be, I got that.

[SPEAKER_00]: You look at in like 2027, 80p, please, no lockout, please, please, please.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's suck, but 2027 fancy baseball, 80p.

[SPEAKER_00]: I could easily see him being a guy that has cut this 80p in half.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is more like a top 180p.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I got that, you're drafting as starting first basement.

[SPEAKER_00]: Or a third base of he moves back over there and you know they get tired of having cabrine haze though is he He's not fridge and as he hold on.

[SPEAKER_00]: I actually look good up.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he'd run haze at the fridge, and But maybe he is and once this contract run through.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he is [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, that's right.

[SPEAKER_00]: He signed that eight year deal.

[SPEAKER_00]: I totally forgot about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's under contract for, I guess that's right about it because I don't, I'm not used to Pittsburgh signing guys to, you know, contracts that are decent.

[SPEAKER_00]: Though side track, you know, that report today, oh, they're interested in Kyle Schworber, Giaokay.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll eat a shoe if they sign Kyle Schwabber.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's just a 0% chance of that happening.

[SPEAKER_00]: Though, wouldn't that be like the biggest plot twist ever, like Bob Nettling?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just been like saving all his money over the years and he's going to have like this one or two years before he retires or whatever that he just goes like full dodgers or full like Steve Cohen and just signs everybody and it's a super team for a couple of years.

[SPEAKER_00]: That would be hilarious, but unlikely.

[SPEAKER_00]: So he ate it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't see them happening, but so with Brian Hayes in the mix at their base, probably not in terms of Stuart getting back over there, but maybe obviously Hayes is a great defensively, but offensively has not worked out for him.

[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe you see Stuart get over there enough to retain eligibility regardless loves South Stuart this year and beyond, I think is if you want the better rookie values in 2026 redraft leagues.

[SPEAKER_00]: one other pitcher that is in that kind of range of hitters, who's kind of like all alone in terms of pitcher rookie ADP.

[SPEAKER_00]: Connally early, he's right in there at 207.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just kind of like a 40 to 45 pit gap between early and Chandler.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then you have another similar 45 or [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I talked about him again last week, so I won't go super in depth here.

[SPEAKER_00]: He definitely impressed me more late in the season with the red socks than he did mid-season when I saw him in double eight Portland, that he was just like, oh, he's a number four five guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: But now I'm like, yeah, maybe he's more like a three four.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'd still like Peyton, totally more.

[SPEAKER_00]: Peyton always going about 130 picks later, 140 picks later around pick 35.

[SPEAKER_00]: Early probably has the leg up for 2026 though.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just so hard to say at this point because as of now, the rotation would be here at crochet.

[SPEAKER_00]: See, Bayo, the two rookies, and probably cut a Crawford.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll just come in back.

[SPEAKER_00]: But all in case you're sure that the rest of us are going to add a big arm.

[SPEAKER_00]: So then is it like a SP5 battle between totally and early?

[SPEAKER_00]: hard to say, you know, do they bring in another type?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like do they bring back Gileeto?

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.

[SPEAKER_00]: Or do they bring another guy like him?

[SPEAKER_00]: Hard to say, so I don't know how many innings are always going to get this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think he pitches more with the red socks than [SPEAKER_00]: Totally does, we'll see, but to always get nine, 10 rounds cheaper, too.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want to go with the lesser value investments, or actually the better value investment, I just say, but the less for price, that's why I'm at the say, lesser price points, then you have to only 140-footer is totally fine.

[SPEAKER_00]: Early, I don't mind that ADP.

[SPEAKER_00]: If he's with my SP5, sure.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, as you, it wouldn't be that bad to go like SP3 with the upside play.

[SPEAKER_00]: One of those guys already talked about, get a safer SP4 and then go back and go with an early Azure SP5 or even Tetsuya MI who, more people I talked to the more I like and I was talking to him a cloud.

[SPEAKER_00]: about him.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he was saying, you kind of think in between Senga and Yamamoto, that's pretty exciting.

[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you had a very good career over in Japan.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sure once he signs, especially if he lands in one of those like fun landing spots, like let's say it's the Dodgers because you know, why not?

[SPEAKER_00]: But if he if he lands in a good spot, you [SPEAKER_00]: being cut the 50s picks off of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: He might be top 200 by the time we roll into like February March.

[SPEAKER_00]: Check the heart of 2020-6 baseball drag season.

[SPEAKER_00]: Could easily see that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right now picked 260, SB5, SB6, whatever, some words in that range.

[SPEAKER_00]: Love, am I?

[SPEAKER_00]: Even if he moves up 50 spots, I think I still like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would rather go off for him than Markami that I have this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's for sure.

[SPEAKER_00]: But once we get into like the, you know, second half of the top 300 or the 200s in that 250 to 300 range, they get it's pretty fine because the 11th rookie off the board is having mechanical.

[SPEAKER_00]: We kept the top 10 though real quick for ADP.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, these aren't my rank as ADP.

[SPEAKER_00]: Top 10 and rookie ADP is McLean.

[SPEAKER_00]: Burned to your savage, Chandler, Bessayo, Early, Merakami, Jensen Stewart MI.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then on 11th at pic 271 an average, came in mechanical.

[SPEAKER_00]: 12th at 276, JJ Weatherhold.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then you got 13th to try melt in.

[SPEAKER_00]: 15th is Olga Henderson's a couple of pictures in there.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're decent values.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, let's talk about those three hitters, mechanical, weather-hole beavers.

[SPEAKER_00]: McGonagal, I think, at this point, [SPEAKER_00]: I'd say it's 350, maybe more like 46 he makes the opening day, roster for Detroit, obviously it's going to, you know, you have to wait and see what they do in for agency right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: They have, you know, some openings in that infields, though, Glibbertura is just accepted the qualifying offer, I believe I saw, so he'll be back in the mix here.

[SPEAKER_00]: but they still have a big opening at third base, you know, right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, okay, I want to say big, a cold Keith is not bad, but do they move him more over or to, you know, first base, and you have to have torque to each, a little bit, maybe torques like a first base to each, you know, mold, you know, and carbonyr will just come in against writeies.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that opens up their [SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's some openings, and there's some paths from a identical.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, whether they think he's ready, you know, who is at a school, who is out in the AFL a couple of times, actually saw him.

[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't actually see him, you know, face to face, by saw him when he was sitting up near the press box in the second level.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he was saying, you know, he's ready in terms of mechanical.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think I can go against that, you know, I don't think they want to rush him, but he's a guy that if he's in AAA next year, he didn't get to be for long.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want to see him in AAA and he live in that area, make it quick because I don't think this is going to be there for long and the till you go mud hens.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I'll say 4060, he's unopened in the roster, but even so, even if he's not, that's not a bad ADP.

[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, that's gonna go up.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no doubt my mind is gonna go up.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'd been every penny in my DM bank account right now, that's not gonna go up.

[SPEAKER_00]: So up as an earlier, not like up in number, but up as an earlier in the draft.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if it looks like he's gonna make the overnight roster, like if he's tearing up and spring training, cut the 80p and half for like March drafts, I guess it even see him getting into the top 100.

[SPEAKER_00]: is because he's the number for me, number two, profit in the game, number one for other people.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, he's a guy that I think we were, he's a guy that I think can hit the ground running and be a guy that impacts right away, no-sure things, as I said earlier.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, my, my saying that maybe I've coined it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I've heard of any results, you know, prospect tang.

[SPEAKER_00]: I remember that drink tang back in the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: It came in that like, you know, plastic container, the orange powder, you know, the orange drink, you know, kind of like a high sea type of drink, you know, but stands for there are no guarantees.

[SPEAKER_00]: With prospects, they're absolutely no guarantees, even the sure things.

[SPEAKER_00]: So can't guarantee that he's going to be, you know, great off the bat, but I feel better about him being great or off the bat than most prospects.

[SPEAKER_00]: This guy can absolutely rake, you know, he was just AFL MVP.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, my number two prospect.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, [SPEAKER_00]: You know, if he is going to be break and camp or even this up in May, I think that's a fine ADP, but maybe my favorite ADP, or at least in the running for my favorite ADP of any rookie for 2026 as Dylan Beaver's going right inside pick 300.

[SPEAKER_00]: at was a 293 on average right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's already starting to creep up a little bit.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was over 300 a few weeks ago, so it's starting to creep up a little bit.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe all my tweets about him or our causing it who knows.

[SPEAKER_00]: But Dylan Beaver's is really, really good and really underrated.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I said it last year, I forget in what context or why I said it, but I said something like don't be surprised if Dylan Beaver's is a better fantasy asset long term than Sammy Bassayo.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that could be the case in year one too for these guys.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's no sliding against Bassayo, obviously I have Bassayo right because of top 10 prospect, but and I had to do have Bassayo right to live a higher than Bassat than Beaver's [SPEAKER_00]: But for fantasy, the silenade given you speed.

[SPEAKER_00]: Beepers is, and I think there's a bigger speed gap than there is a gap with the bat, because yeah, you could say, but silo is more power, but beepers has pretty solid power in his own right, and has better context skills, and I'd say it's slightly better approach.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I can see Beaver's being the better and more well-rounded fantasy asset.

[SPEAKER_00]: He came up last year, Full Home Runs, two steals, 137 play appearances.

[SPEAKER_00]: I could add a home run off a little lefty.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not super worried about the lefty issues.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, pose the ball, a good bit, gets the ball in the air.

[SPEAKER_00]: for a good bit had a 70% air rate in a 26 and a half percent pull air rate with Baltimore 89th percentile sprint speed 19% walk rate as a rookie again all super small sample sizes and the quality of contact was decent 9.3% barrel rate 80.8 mile an hour average EV.

[SPEAKER_00]: The other hard hit rate was low right 20%, but the say that it's always had good contact rates in the minor leagues, he was generally up for 70s, low 80s contact rate had a swing strike rate below 10% every year of his minor league career as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: Got that could be, you know, 20 years home or guy, 20 plus steals, decent average, good [SPEAKER_00]: Let's say, what's a realistic excitation?

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's say, if you can get 15 home runs, 18 steels, to 60 average from him, it's hard to predict runs in our BI, obviously.

[SPEAKER_00]: But, [SPEAKER_00]: to 60, 15, 18.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just go with those three.

[SPEAKER_00]: Near pick 300.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, with potential for more.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is great.

[SPEAKER_00]: Investment potential for ROI is very large here.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love Dillon Beaver's human and my favorite rookie value of anybody in 2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: JD Weatherhold to got that kind of somewhere.

[SPEAKER_00]: It can give you a good [SPEAKER_00]: It's good quality production across the board without really standing out.

[SPEAKER_00]: anyone area, no huge power, no huge speed, raise above average power speed guy, good contact skills, good approach.

[SPEAKER_00]: Guys, it's going to be a really solid high floor, five category guy, and that's not to say it doesn't up to that either because he hits the ball hard, he can still back.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is a fun player too.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have zero idea where it ends up, per sheet Lewis in 2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's a bit shortstop though because Mason Wand even though he's been up and down offensively, you know, brings a ton of defensive value to this team, but if no one already now I don't get still, there's an opening, you know, Brendan Donovan hasn't been a model of health, so it's like in base to be an opening as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: really a lot of these, you know, guys on as St.

Louis haven't been the greatest in terms of durability.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I can see, Judy, when I hold crack in that, whether it's opening day, shortly to their after, maybe a similar ETA as McGonagall, where I think there's a 30, 40% chance he's on the opening day roster for St.

Louis, if not, should be pretty soon afterward.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think there's going to be some good value there.

[SPEAKER_00]: So these three headers, I like the values of a good bit this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, McGonagall, weatherhold, melt in, like these three a lot, going in that 270 to 95 range.

[SPEAKER_00]: Though these are three guys, I really think, again, the ADP is going to just rise and be more pricey.

[SPEAKER_00]: The further we get into the off season and closer to the graph season, melt in, [SPEAKER_00]: Paul Sporle loves him and I've after talking with Paul both in Arizona here and when he had to say they are in on the podcast last week You know, I've even moved Milton at my ranking as a little bit.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's some opportunity there.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's some upside here So I like Milton a good bit at that spot as well, but I went more in depth on him last week.

[SPEAKER_00]: So go back and check that out if you want to go Or here's some more in depth discussion about Troy Milton, but I think he's a solid value there as well [SPEAKER_00]: All right, so that brings us through the first 15 rookies slash prospects in ADP for 2020 say, I had 10 more in the tree.

[SPEAKER_00]: I went the top 25.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll kind of hit on some of these guys in this range.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we're kind of now getting past pick 300 and these go all the way to about pick 450.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it starts to kind of spread out a little bit more, but I mentioned Logan Henderson was 15.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then you get Jonah Tong at 335 Parker Messick 341.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just a lot of 347 feet and totally who I mentioned earlier at 355.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan Lawler, 357, Connor Griffin, 370.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: Kazuma Okamoto, Forten, the other big posting from Japan.

[SPEAKER_00]: This year, we finally see where he winds up.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's at Forten, Bryce Eldridge at 419.

[SPEAKER_00]: Marcelo Meyer, again, he's a rookie from in Prospect, eligible for me, some other sites, no, but I'll put him on here as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: and 25th spot in a due-painter at 447.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think the three, my three favorite targets here, I think, okay, we're done to the bottom, Andrew Painter, you see, as someone to shine and some of the, you know, the gleam has kind of dulled from his prospect star, but there's still one of the most talented picture projects in baseball.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he's a number one anymore, or maybe I haven't taught five anymore.

[SPEAKER_00]: But this is still like a top 10-hour pitching prospects, still has a ton of upside.

[SPEAKER_00]: And might have a shot, finally, we were kind of waiting all year.

[SPEAKER_00]: This was supposed to be like June, July, then it became August, then September, and then end of the season, and we got zero major beginnings from end to painter.

[SPEAKER_00]: But as of right now, maybe you get some ending.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, you gotta get some ending.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'd be shocked if he's spent the entire season next year in AAA, but if Ranger Swara says not return, he's a free agent, I mean, do they want to go with, you know, Tychon Walker in that fifth spot, maybe they start the season, but I feel like you're going to see a good chunk of major league innings for Painter this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: What do you get from him?

[SPEAKER_00]: Hard to say.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's still, you know, he's not quite back to pre-injury painter.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he had one of the best minor league predictions we've seen in a long time back in, what year were that I've been now 2022?

[SPEAKER_00]: It was such a long kind of like a fall from grace for him or along, you know, kind of rough patch for him.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's hard to, yeah, [SPEAKER_00]: He had like a mid ones year A and like a 42% KRA was ridiculous, but if they want to go with him and that number five spot, I mean Aaron Noah, I mean the architect Noah out of the rotation even though he was terrible last year.

[SPEAKER_00]: Though maybe if he is 60 year A again, maybe they will.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, same thing's that happened, but right now it's probably to be Walker would be the one where painter would get in there and if that's a case.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a phenomenal ADP with a huge ROI possibility.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: A good bit, you know, Michelle Meyer, I think it really depends on if he's a full-time starter next year, but I do some questions about where the average winds up, can he say healthy?

[SPEAKER_00]: He has a lot of durability issues in his own right, but hey, 428, ADP is not.

[SPEAKER_00]: you know, a super high price to pay, you know, that's probably not even being drafted and like your 12 teamers, 15 teamers, he's probably back in and then obviously in these deeper formats, so we drafted, you know, these 50 round formats, obviously he will.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think I like Eldridge a little bit more in this year, if I'dificate between him and Eldridge, who are basically almost back to back in ADP, I'd rather go Eldridge.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's good, I think there's huge, huge, huge power [SPEAKER_00]: I think the average could be close for these two, but I'd rather go with the guy with more power upside, and Jordan Lawler, Jordan Lawler chased a lot or two interesting ones, and going in that 350-ish range, kind of similar where a lot of upside, a lot of fun skills, fun tools, we've seen it in the minor leagues, can't say healthy lately.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'd rather go out to the water.

[SPEAKER_00]: this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not opposed to either one.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just you have a lot of gets a starting spot somewhere whether it be, you know, I mean, it would have to be third base because assuming Marta and Perdomo are healthy and they don't trade Marta, which has been rumors of it, but I do think Marta stays.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if he stays, it's what just their base.

[SPEAKER_00]: If he goes, you can second or third, Perdomo is over there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Short stop blocked the enough to [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll be interested to see where he does wind up and how much time he does get, but I'm not ready to, you know, say he's a Quaday guy, bust.

[SPEAKER_00]: whatever you want to say, because he hasn't ever gotten an extended look.

[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, part of that's his own issues where he hasn't been good when he came up for those stints.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's been injured, but I think this is a kind of a make or break put up or shut up year for for Jordan Lawler.

[SPEAKER_00]: So around 350, I'm fine with that, the water I've said it before, say it again, top 10 prospect talent, bottom 10 durability.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sneak him to say health.

[SPEAKER_00]: He has something he can be a very, very good asset.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want to get him as a let-late round up-tide flyer, as like your last outfit or on the roster's to see if it can work, see if he gets a chance or only on the season, could it be huge ROI?

[SPEAKER_00]: Or, you know, it's not high risk.

[SPEAKER_00]: And you can drop him and move on to the next guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I do like those two guys decent bit this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: And Tong, though, a Tong's the one where I tweeted about the other day, pick 335.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't know how much he pitches in the majors this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: I feel that he's in triple A.

[SPEAKER_00]: The start right now as it stands at this very second on, you know, November 18th, currently 821 PM on the East Coast.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's known McLean, David Peterson, Clay Homes, Shamanaya, Khodesanga, granted in really four of those five, the all the non-Rookie, non-McLean names have their own durability issues.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, Tong will be his shot, but he also got Burr, and then Sprote in the mix, obviously he was not as good as Tong in my opinion, and most of everyone's opinion, you get Christian Scott coming [SPEAKER_00]: do they go on get it guy to kind of help with that rotation maybe a top-end guy obviously Steve Cohen can spend money and will spend money so [SPEAKER_00]: you got to imagine that bring in somebody that moved tongue down from six to seventh on the depth chart.

[SPEAKER_00]: So those questions are always why I'm kind of shying away and redraft.

[SPEAKER_00]: He follows me in the 400s and maybe, but I just wonder is he interpolated for longer than we'd like to say in 2026?

[SPEAKER_00]: So probably not gonna end up with any kind of tongue shares.

[SPEAKER_00]: But how about we close out the show with the, is there one more fun name in this range?

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, Connor Griffin.

[SPEAKER_00]: My number one prospect in all baseball, love giving McGonagl who is firmly entrenched as my number two, but Connor Griffin's my number one.

[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, for timing actually on this podcast dropping or recording today, earlier today, I saw some reports.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the Pittsburgh pirates are considering, you know, Griffin to make their opening their roster.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a lot of smoke right now, but sometimes when they're smoke, there's fire, I don't think that's a case here.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be really, [SPEAKER_00]: I won't say foolish, but I just don't think it'd be the best thing to have caught on Griffin up.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, obviously, I cannot wait to see him in the major leagues, wrecking up all these spanity stats for us, potentially being a first ground fantasy guy down the road.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, how could he not be excited about that?

[SPEAKER_00]: Seeing what he did this past year, almost a run per game.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know we don't look at runs in our behind the analytics, but I had nearly a run per game, which is this awesome.

[SPEAKER_00]: 23 doubles, 21 home runs, 65 steals, 50 walks, 33, 415, 527 slash line, all will be 19 years old, got to double it for 21 games.

[SPEAKER_00]: My guess though is probably back in double it for a little bit, and AAA, I mean, we're going to see him in 2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no doubt in my mind, assuming he doesn't get hurt, not going to win.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to want to assume he doesn't get her, you'll see him.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think for more major league of bats than minor league of bats, I'm not sure it's an opening day, or if it would be in Pittsburgh's best interest to bring him up an opening day.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's more incentives to bring guys up earlier now, but why push him?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like Pittsburgh's contending in 2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: No one thinks they're contending in 2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: Not even Pittsburgh vans.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_00]: I feel bad for Pittsburgh vans is that I look great ball.

[SPEAKER_00]: Park is what a history with the pirates.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love to see them be good again, but I just don't see that happening in twenty twenty six.

[SPEAKER_00]: So why rush a studly premier Uber blue chip prospect?

[SPEAKER_00]: like Connor Griffin.

[SPEAKER_00]: This doesn't make sense to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, June, I think June is like, if I had to put a month on it, I'd say June.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's still going to give you like 450 play appearances and have a lot of value.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, I'm not opposed to drafting and stashing.

[SPEAKER_00]: I got the kind of Griffin given the immense upside we have with him, but I just don't see it happening on opening day, but if it does happen, and he's tearing up spring training.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, let's say he's hitting like 340, 350, a few bombs, a lot of steals.

[SPEAKER_00]: He starts here in those, all those rumors and those whispers get louder, louder, louder.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're just at the ADP, like with McGonagall, absolutely skyrocket, maybe even the top 100 levels.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because I don't think there's been a prospect, and we've had a lot of good top prospects over the years, they'll give me a wrong, but we may begin to the point with Griffin Ben like the most hyped guy in the last several years.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that is saying something, given all the good number one process we've had over the years.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.

[SPEAKER_00]: That'll be fun to see how that transpires over the next few months, but and it's also going to be fun to see where these ADPs wind up in a few months, but these are the early ADPs.

[SPEAKER_00]: So again, the three kept for I gotta hear McLean, uh, no one McLean, 1113, Chase Burns, 125, career savage 151, but the trailer 163, Sammy Bassayo, 173, Kinelli, early 207, [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to talk about my economy to 13.

[SPEAKER_00]: Current Jensen to 21, South Stewart to 33.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's all you MI to 60, give him a gun and go to 71.

[SPEAKER_00]: JJ Weatherhold to 76, Trummel and 287, Dylan Beaver's 293.

[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Henderson, 318, Jonah Tong, 335, Parker, Messick, 341, Chase the water, 347, Peyton, Tony, 355, Jordan Lauer, 357, Connor Griffin, 370, Kazuma, Okamoto, 410, Bryce Aldridge, 418, Marcelo Meyer, 428, and Andrew Painter at 447.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you to everyone for tuning in this episode.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hope you enjoyed it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see you again next week, but until then everyone take care
