00:00you have a buy low candidate on the mariners who is it i do it's the inevitable second half of
00:06julio rodriguez i mean you just kind of set your watch to this stuff and i know it hasn't been
00:10really super exciting i get it julio rodriguez arguably the worst first round pick this year
00:17i mean would you agree with that sentiment you think that's hyperbole i mean you think about
00:20the draft capital used on no one knows rodriguez oh garrett cole i mean you know well i mean okay
00:27garrett cole i mean barring injury just in terms of performance look he's got 13 homers and 16 rbi
00:33that's fine he's hitting 249 that's not great the ops is at 713 that's also not great
00:39so right now in the last 15 games 65 at bats he's hitting 246 now he does have two home runs he does
00:45have three steals so the good news is that the counting stats are loud right the home runs are
00:50still in basis so the power and the speed combinations there but historically speaking this has always been
00:54a second half player he always turns it on the second half and this is the time to buy uh we
00:58talked about jackson merrill that's another guy that i would buy another one that has not returned great
01:03value i think uh considering draft stock and draft stock doesn't mean much but what it does mean is
01:08that chances are people drafted julio rodriguez are probably not in the same part of the standings of
01:12the people who drafted aaron judge or juan soto and you take advantage of that you say okay give me xyz for
01:19julio rodriguez i think it's going to take a good bat and a pitcher to get it done but i think it's a trade
01:23worth making are you going to buy on julio rodriguez in the second half like i absolutely i've watched
01:29enough baseball over the years played enough fantasy baseball to realize the value of julio rodriguez
01:33in the second half um either way and even if you are an extrapolator i'm not the number of joe gave
01:39at the end of the season i think you'd be okay with that i would just say he has 13 and 50 right
01:44now so what's that 26 and 100 something to that effect but uh either way i would be in on julio
01:49rodriguez also because the mariners have consistently been there towards the end
01:53and he's in a lineup an offensive ecosystem with cal raleigh
