00:00People that are not liked are these two players here.

00:02They're the most dropped in Major League Baseball currently.

00:05What a transition.

00:06So good.

00:06Take it from there.

00:08Yeah, Kobe Mayo, one of the most dropped guys.

00:11He got another cup of coffee and four games, six strikeouts later,

00:15and a 083 batting average was set back down to the minor leagues.

00:18Wah, wah, wah.

00:19And look, at AAA, Kobe Mayo is pouting, period.

00:22He's got six homers and 23 RBI, but his OPS is 782.

00:26His batting average is at 218.

00:27So one of two things are happening.

00:28He's either pouting, miserable, doesn't want to be in this organization anymore, A.

00:32B, he's not a good baseball player.

00:34I don't think it's B.

00:36I think if anybody needs a fresh start, it's Kobe Mayo.

00:39So I think he's intriguing still from a dynasty perspective.

00:42This is the best time to buy low.

00:44He's 23 years old.

00:45I want to write him off.

00:47Now, I had some questions about Kobe Mayo.

00:49The strikeout rate is a little high for me.

00:51He does have big-time power.

00:52But I think in the right circumstance with the right coaching and environment around him,

00:55he could be a very good fantasy baseball asset.

00:58I don't think it's going to be in Baltimore.

01:00And if he becomes a failure and then Westbrook becomes a failure, and then all of a sudden

01:05we're talking about the Baltimore Orioles, like, oh, wasn't that fun?

01:07Remember when the Orioles were good for a hot minute and they were the future of baseball?

01:10Now, you fired your manager.

01:13Grayson Rodriguez doesn't look like he's going to pitch much this year, if at all.

01:17All of a sudden, man, the bloom is off this rose for the Baltimore Orioles, and it is a

01:21bad situation here.

01:22So in dynasty, it's a buy low.

01:24But yeah, Kobe Mayo, you drop, you move on.

01:27And not only that, but like, I don't think redraft is going to be anywhere close to interesting.

01:31We're talking about so many other guys worthy of stashing.

01:34We mentioned Matt Shaw before, just as one of the many.

01:36We're going to come back through that minor league system and back to the major leagues.

01:39So Kobe Mayo, it's done for 2025.
