00:00All right. In the outfield, the 19th player totally off the board is Jackson Churio.

00:04Projected hit .269, 24 home runs, 27 stolen bases. The 29th player off the board,

00:10maybe you've heard him, Ronald Acuña Jr. Projected hit .293 with 27 home runs and 46

00:17stolen bases. George, I don't think you think he's hitting that. Churio or Acuña at this point and

00:22why? First off, boys and girls, you can take the under on us at the mature or in between segments

00:29it ain't happening. And neither is Acuña stealing 46 bases, by the way. That's not happening either.

00:35You've already heard Acuña tell us that he's not going to run with reckless abandon this season.

00:40When someone tells you what they're going to do, we might want to believe them.

00:45Listen, I have a tough time match-drafting players who are hurt. All right. He came back

00:51with second ACL. I think he's going to be fine. Okay. I do, but I don't think he's running all

00:56that much. 46 stolen bases. I'll give you half that for the rest of the season. He's not gonna

01:00play to mid-bay. I just don't, I think he's going to steal when it's necessary, not just for giggles,

01:04right? Not just to get a bag. So when it's necessary, you know, team's down a run,

01:07getting scoring position, sure. But other than that, I just don't think he's going to steal

01:11all that much. They want to keep him healthy and keep him healthy for the post-season,

01:14right? That's when the Braves want him here. The power should be there. All right. I don't,

01:18I think 25, 27 home runs is about right. Give or take here. Average fine. Good with it. He's

01:23going in about round four-ish, man, 29. That's round, that's the middle of round three. I'm not

01:28doing that. The guy's going to miss 30 baseball games, all right, at least. Maybe a little bit

01:33more here. So I'd be very cautious here. I'm not, for what he's going, I'm not drafting him in round

01:39three. He goes, he lasts around four, around five, fine here. Cherio in round two, that's about where

01:43he should go here. I like both players here. I'm just not drafting a player who's coming up with a

01:47major injury in round four.
