00:03 - This next player also has a switch hitter
00:05 usually behind him in the lineup.
00:07 And I think things like that really help.
00:09 Corbin Carroll is going to be a guy,
00:11 personally I don't think he can repeat
00:14 what happened last year.
00:14 I think you're gonna see a lot of recency bias money
00:17 going that way, going towards that team.
00:20 I'm careful to avoid that in the first two months
00:22 of the season.
00:23 But Corbin Carroll sitting at plus 650
00:25 before the Acuna news is intriguing.
00:28 Joe?
00:29 - Yeah, sitting at plus 650 before that news,
00:31 now at plus 600.
00:33 I mean, Corbin Carroll did have 54 stolen bases.
00:37 Now he's projected for 43 so far this year.
00:39 Those projections are always gonna be a little bit lower.
00:41 But at the same time,
00:43 if he matches what he did last season,
00:45 above Ronald Acuna's projection,
00:48 he's above Asiri Ruiz's projection.
00:50 So he becomes a really interesting number here.
00:52 Now I will respectfully disagree with Matt Stryker.
00:56 I think he can repeat what he did last year.
00:58 That's how much I believe in this player.
01:00 And I don't know if there was another program
01:02 on the face of the earth,
01:03 maybe save an Arizona Diamondbacks program,
01:06 that was more bullish last year on Corbin Carroll
01:08 than we were.
01:09 Not only for Rookie of the Year,
01:10 but also for over on his home runs, over on his steals,
01:12 over on everything when it came to Corbin Carroll.
01:15 And one of the guys that I think won a lot of people leagues
01:17 that we kept hyping up and talking about.
01:20 And he does it at the top of his order.
01:21 He's gonna get the extra at-bats.
01:22 He's an incredibly valuable player.
01:24 He's going top five right now as he should.
