00:00Brent Rooker last year for the athletics, another big time power season and moving out of Oakland to Sacramento

00:07Could be even better. I think these projections here George are a little light 829 OPS. Love that

00:12I think there's room for more 35 homers 92 ribbies eight steals for good measure. I think there could be more

00:19I really do. I'm looking at the ADP of Brent Rooker and

00:25Every time I keep coming back around and landing on it George is the same thing where you know

00:29I keep looking at him

00:31Going as the 50th player off the board and I see a guy coming off a season

00:36And if you're just looking at the numbers, you're taking away the team and the name and I know he's still not a household name

00:4139 homers 112 RBI 11 steals hit 293 last year

00:46Sure, some regression for the batting average is possible. But George those numbers are not good. They are great

00:52They are top 25 numbers top 20 numbers yet. He's going

00:56Closer to 50. I think it's absurd George that people are not giving Rooker enough respect your thoughts on Brent Rooker in

01:052025

01:06You know, I'd like to disagree with you and fight with you. But uh, you're right

01:09I mean once again, I agree and by the way anybody who was watching the show yesterday morning already knows

01:14How I feel about Rooker is one of our questions was will he hit over 42 home runs this season?

01:19I said yes, so I'm not gonna go the other way now

01:23Once again, what did you say last segment less foul territory?

01:26I have to give a couple more at bats during the season if they won't be foul outs

01:29I come

01:30Remember hitting the ball in Oakland, especially at night with that marine that thick marine air

01:34The ball didn't travel never did in Oakland

01:37It will in Sacramento when they're playing in a hundred degree heat the balls going out like a Super Bowl, right?

01:42It's gonna be like a golf t-shot

01:44Over and over again. Yeah, I think it's over 40. All right, and by the way, I would not be surprised

01:49You told me at the end of the year that Rooker hit and they're hitting 49 home runs and led the American League at home

01:53Runs, you know wouldn't shock me in the least probably means judge got hurt, but wouldn't shock me here

01:58So yes, I am all-in on Rooker. And what did you say about his average taking a dip? Sure that might happen

02:03Can he still tell us that I'm not dreading of stolen bases? All right, so if you only needs 50 now, I don't care

02:09All right, if I'm dreading it's purely for the power. That's what I'm looking for

02:12I want my home runs and I think he gets it

02:14I think I get a very good value because he's not a sexy name. He's just not a sexy name

02:19I want you Rooker. It's on the house. Where they playing Oakland Vegas sack. What where they playing?

02:24It's just not a sexy name here. So people will look to avoid him here. So I'm not me

02:28I'll take him on multiple teams here. I'll take that power
