00:00Hey, George, let's take a look over on the FanDuel Sportsbook

00:02and take a look at where things stand.

00:04So Mike Trout is the favorite at plus 350.

00:07But I got to tell you, man, like Jacob DeGrom staring at me

00:10at plus 420.

00:12Felix Bautista is back and staring at me at plus 500.

00:16Bo Bichette.

00:17I'm going to stop there because I think the rest are, you know,

00:19too big of long shots.

00:20But man, there's some really good potential comeback players

00:24here.

00:24Who do you like?

00:26Yeah, I mean, listen, if you tell me Mike Trout's playing

00:29120 games, it's Trout.

00:30It'll be Trout easy.

00:31If you tell me DeGrom's making 23 starts, it'll be DeGrom.

00:35All right, McClanahan.

00:36Listen, I really like McClanahan.

00:38I don't know if he's got enough pizzazz, enough, you know,

00:42enough highlights there to do it.

00:43Bautista is not going to pitch on back-to-back games in

00:46the beginning here.

00:47It's closed for anyway.

00:48I do kind of like Bo Bichette here, but he's the, I guess,

00:52less of the names here.

00:53I mean, to get over Trout and DeGrom, any of these other

00:56guys are going to have to have bigger seats and hope those

00:58guys don't play.

00:59You know, they get hurt again.

01:00I said, I don't think it's DeGrom.

01:04I can't go.

01:04DeGrom's not making 24 starts.

01:06He's just not.

01:07I hope he does, mind you.

01:08Why I got him on fancy.

01:09I really hope he does, but I don't think it will be.

01:12I'm leaning to one of the bats here.

01:13Trout or Boichette here.

01:15That's going to be bigger on the Blue Jays than I really

01:17want to be here.

01:18I think Boichette could have a really big bounce back here,

01:20but he has to have that bounce back here and Trout not play.

01:23You know, can Trout play 125 games?

01:26I'm not even asking that much.

01:26That's two IL stints.

01:28Can he play 125 games?

01:29He'll win this award if he does here.

01:31By the way, in my home league, Trout still went a third round.

01:34That was probably the biggest, couldn't believe he went that

01:35earlier for those who are wondering here.

01:38Give me Boichette.

01:38Give me the 7-1 on Boichette.

01:41All right, 7-1 on Boichette.

01:42I know George is a little more bullish on Toronto than some.

01:45You know, Shane Bieber interesting on a one-year deal.

01:4722-1 to win in the American League as well.

01:50All right, in the National League, it's pretty cut and dry.

01:51You got two Braves in the top three.

01:53Ronald Acuna Jr.

01:54Plus 250 and you also have Spencer Strider at plus 550 and

02:00then Sandy Alcantara who has been fantastic for the Marlins

02:03in the spring and I would guess will be fantastic in the

02:06regular season.

02:07He is plus 400.

02:08Can you go deeper behind that?

02:10No, right?

02:12I mean Strider is supposed to pitch in late April.

02:14So theoretically he could come back and be the Strider again,

02:16which is a little tough at the TJ when you first come back.

02:20He could be in this mix as well here.

02:22Acuna is not playing till mid-May and he's already

02:24told you he's probably not stealing bases as wildly as he

02:27did.

02:28You know, he's made those comments a couple of times here.

02:31So I think really that he ought to be reversed.

02:33I think Alcantara should be 250 and Acuna should be 400.

02:38So I'll go with Alcantara.

02:40He started from day one.

02:40You already said it.

02:41He looks great.

02:43All right, I mean, it looks like, oh my God, this guy's,

02:46you know, if the Marlins could get him two runs, they're

02:48winning the game, you know, that kind of guy where he looks

02:51legit, you know, I keep making the jokes here as a Yankee

02:53fan, you know, he's gonna be a Yankee, gonna be a Yankee.

02:55He's not, the Yankees are on the prospects to get him, but

02:57I do think he's gonna be moved at some point this year.

02:59I would love him to be a Yankee, but he is, I mean, he's

03:02not the best pitcher in baseball.

03:04He's top three, you know, in my opinion.

03:06I love Sandy.

03:07I know it's Miami, maybe they don't get the pub and Acuna

03:10and Strider get more publicity, but I think it's Sandy.

03:12He started from day one.

03:14That's my vote.

03:15Yeah, I would agree.

03:16I think it's a great, great call there by you.

03:20You know, it's hard.

03:22I don't like taking favorites, but Ronald Acuna plus 250.

03:25It does seem like if he just plays from May on, maybe the

03:27guy that I would go with, you know, Jung-Hoo Lee, not likely.

03:31I would agree there.

03:31What about Woodruff at plus 650, George?

03:34Such a good pitcher, went healthy.

03:35I guess, what's his timetables?

03:37Sometime it's, you would have to hope at some point he can

03:39come back and be effective.

03:40I like him probably more as a late round pick than I would

03:43for this award, but you could see Wood, I mean, Woodruff

03:47went healthy, always a good pitcher.

03:49Agreed.

03:50I hope he does come back.

03:51All right, I think he started, he's throwing in the minor

03:53leagues now, I believe.

03:54So theoretically, he could come back around the same time

03:56as Strider, maybe even a little earlier.

03:58You know, we'll see what Brandon Woodruff here.

04:00I think if I was going to go with a brew, it would be yellow.

04:03It should get 20 to 1 here.

04:05If he can put that ball in the air a little bit more here

04:07and hit some more home runs and he can stay healthy, he's

04:09got the back.

04:10He's another guy though, Craig.

04:12I mean, what's he playing?

04:13100, same thing with Trout, 125 games.

04:16I don't see him being able to play game in, game out, day

04:18in, day out with that back injury.

04:20As the long season, it's going to take its toll.

04:23They're going to have to be very careful with monitoring

04:25his workload.
