00:00Let's go to the National League, because speaking of a lot out there, there's far more options.

00:04National League Comeback Player of the Year for this upcoming season, we talked about

00:07Sandy Alcantara, Ronald Acuna Jr., remember him, Spencer Strider, Brandon Woodruff, Matt

00:13McClain, Kodai Senga, the list goes on and on.

00:17Joe, there's an obvious choice here, and there's some nice money attached to it.

00:22Yeah, look, there's a lot of good choices here, and just, you know, for the record,

00:26just because the Mets had a nice little run last year, it doesn't make me not a self-loathing

00:29Met fan, okay?

00:30If I'm giving you a Met, it's in spite of my fandom, in spite of my fandom, and not

00:37because of my fandom, believe me.

00:40This one's tougher.

00:41Matt McClain, certainly a really interesting one at plus 650.

00:44I worry about Woodruff being able to sustain, you know, the hell through the whole season.

00:47Spencer Strider's not going to come back until hopefully midway through the season, maybe,

00:51so that's a risky one to me.

00:54The one that stands out is Ronald Acuna, who last year missed pretty much all the season,

01:00plus 500.

01:01It's a great return.

01:02He's an everyday player.

01:03I think these awards sometimes are a little bit easier for everyday players, so I'm going

01:05to go with Ronald Acuna, a guy who is not that far removed from, you know, a 40-70 season.

01:11I mean, the guy's unbelievably good.

01:13Now, he might miss that first month of the season, but that's okay.

01:17Five good months of Ronald Acuna is all you need, and if he gets back to being Ronald

01:20Acuna, just like he did two years ago when he came back from that other knee, people

01:24were worried.

01:25Remember, oh, man, I don't know if he's going to be able to seal bases again or all this

01:27stuff.

01:28He was great, so hopefully now two good knees, Ronald Acuna is that guy, but who is that

01:33guy for you that stands out for National League Rookie of the Year?

01:37So I like that you said it should be an everyday player because those players stay in your

01:41mind more.

01:42I'm going to give you Trey Turner.

01:44I can't find a number on him, but like I said, it's still early in the wagering season,

01:49but I think this year the Phils have everything.

01:51If they have a good lineup, I think it gets even better with a guy like Max Kepler.

01:55The staff has a big three.

01:56We talk about that all the time, and they add Jesus Lozado.

02:00They have a really good bullpen, a lot of good names, so give me Trey Turner on a resurgent

02:05Philly team to get that Comeback Player of the Year award.

02:09Look at you.

02:10I give you all these good options, and you go completely off the board.

02:14This is it.

02:15This is going to be the next six months.

02:16I can feel it in my bones.

02:17This is it right here.
