00:00Okay, the Yankees have Old Timers Day, the 77th Old Timers Day is going down on August
00:059th.
00:06Dexter Henry, Tommy Hogan here.
00:08What we're going to do today is we now know who is supposed to be there.
00:12All the former players, managers, people involved in the team are supposed to be there for Old
00:16Timers Day at the stadium.
00:17It's going to be an exciting one.
00:19We are going to pick our best Old Timers team from that pool of people.
00:26So it should be really fun.
00:28You're a Yankee fan.
00:29Yep.
00:30The 77th Old Timers game.
00:31Have you been to an Old Timers game?
00:33I've never been.
00:34I'd like to.
00:35I'm glad that they're playing the game again.
00:36Needed the game the last few years.
00:37They hadn't been playing the game.
00:38I'm very glad that they're playing the game again.
00:40So that's why we got to craft our team.
00:42See who has the better team here.
00:43I'm for it.
00:44So how are we going to do it?
00:45We're going to draft.
00:46We've seen the rosters.
00:47You're going to do this along with us.
00:48And so you're wondering, okay, how do we determine who gets the first pick?
00:51Well, our producer Nikolai, he's in the room.
00:55He is thinking of a number from one to five.
00:58The person who gets that number will get the first pick.
00:59So Nikolai has thought of the number.
01:03Tommy, since I'm going to call you the guest, you're the Yankees guy.
01:07Hey, I'll take that.
01:08No, no, no.
01:09You're going to get to make the first guess if Nikolai has the right number.
01:12Go ahead.
01:13Two.
01:14That is a no.
01:15Nikolai shook his head.
01:16I'm going with one.
01:18That is also a no.
01:19Three.
01:20And Nikolai went right to the number.
01:22I'll take first pick.
01:23I thought you would.
01:24I didn't think you were going to give that up.
01:25No.
01:26Alright, so you have the first pick.
01:27It's not a snake draft, so it doesn't make sense to give it up.
01:29This is true.
01:30That's a good point.
01:31No sense in giving it up.
01:32There's some interesting options here, Mr. Tommy.
01:34What are you going with?
01:35I'm going to get a little weird with my first pick.
01:37Oh.
01:38And I'm going to look at the depth here.
01:39And there's only two catchers.
01:41That is true.
01:42I want Jorge Posada.
01:43Sorry Flash Flaherty.
01:44He's on the call for the Blue Jays series, and he's a great analysis on the S Network.
01:48Give me Jorge Posada.
01:50Jorge Posada.
01:51Yeah.
01:52First pick.
01:531-1.
01:54As your first pick, you wanted to make sure you got him in there.
01:56I did.
01:57As your catcher.
01:58Okay.
01:59Alright.
02:00I think that's fair.
02:01I'm looking at this now, and there's a lot of interesting options here.
02:06And listen, I also want to let people know.
02:08As your criteria, we are looking at these players at the peaks of their career.
02:12Right.
02:13Right?
02:14Like, not how everything ended up.
02:15Not where they are now as older people.
02:17We're not trying to be ageist.
02:18But at the peaks of their career.
02:21Alright.
02:22So we have Posada and Flaherty are the catchers.
02:25You went with Posada.
02:26I can't blame you for that.
02:27No disrespect to John Flaherty.
02:28He's not Jorge Posada.
02:29No.
02:30And Randy Johnson's not on the mound in this game.
02:32He's not on the mound in this game.
02:34Okay.
02:35I'm...
02:36I'm valuing pitching here.
02:39And...
02:41Listen.
02:42There's one pitcher here who's the greatest reliever of all time.
02:47Was a bona fide Hall of Famer.
02:48You can't deny it.
02:49I gotta go with Mariano Rivera with my first pick.
02:51If I need to get the game, if the game's close, you know how I'm putting in there.
02:55I'm going with Mariano Rivera.
02:57That's fair.
02:58One of my hottest sports takes is that he's the greatest pitcher of all time.
03:01Not just reliever, the greatest pitcher of all time.
03:03I'll save that for another day.
03:04But I believe he's the greatest pitcher of all time.
03:06You can't tease people like that and then make them a little bit mad.
03:08They're coming for you in the car.
03:09Alright, fine.
03:10Quick.
03:11Every other pitcher has the element of surprise on their side.
03:13Not Mariano Rivera.
03:14You know what's coming.
03:16You knew exactly what was coming.
03:17But you couldn't hit it.
03:18Couldn't hit it.
03:19That's part of the greatness.
03:20Alright, what you got next?
03:21I'm going to go with...
03:23I'm going to go with Alfonso Soriano.
03:25And I want him playing second base.
03:26I love Alfonso Soriano.
03:28His first time at the Old Timers Day.
03:30Really cool to have him back.
03:31Had two stints with the Yankees.
03:33Great in both of them.
03:34Give me Alfonso Soriano playing second base.
03:36Not in the outfield.
03:37I'm a little salty about you because I wanted him for second.
03:42Alfonso Soriano is a damn good Yankee man.
03:44Great.
03:45Damn good Yankee.
03:46You got to put respect on his name there.
03:48This is not...
03:49Look.
03:50This is not the cream of the crop.
03:51But now that you got a good value pick there at second.
03:54I'm going to go to first base.
03:56I'm going to go with Tino Martinez.
03:57Okay.
03:58Got to go with Tino Martinez.
03:59Strong Yankee after he came in for Mattingly.
04:02Did a good job.
04:03Yeah.
04:04Doesn't probably get enough credit for that as a Yankee.
04:05He was great.
04:06But I think he's the best first baseman you have available here.
04:08I'm going to go with Tino Martinez.
04:09This guy probably slipped a bit in the draft.
04:11Give me Bernie Williams.
04:12Yeah.
04:13Bernie Williams playing center field.
04:15That's a good one.
04:16I like my team man.
04:17Burn baby burn.
04:18You're liking your team right now.
04:19I do like that too.
04:20Alright.
04:21Alfonso Soriano was also an option for center field.
04:23And also left field.
04:24Yeah.
04:25So just so people know.
04:26He was an option for left field.
04:28So he's a player you had with some versatility.
04:31Sure.
04:32But I want him at second base.
04:33But you want him at second base.
04:34Is where you're going to.
04:35Alright.
04:36Damn.
04:37He took somebody I wanted.
04:38This makes it tough.
04:40Okay.
04:41If you...
04:43He's down.
04:44I'll be full disclosure.
04:46I grew up rooting for the Mets.
04:48It kind of pains me to have to pick this guy.
04:51But at his prime he's one of the best pitchers we've ever seen.
04:53So I'm going to double down on pitching there with a starter pitcher.
04:55That doesn't make sense.
04:56One pitcher.
04:57One pitcher?
04:58One pitcher.
04:59I thought you got a starter pitcher.
05:00No, no, no.
05:01One pitcher.
05:02We're going one pitcher?
05:03Yeah, you got one pitcher.
05:04I got shut down.
05:05One pitcher.
05:06They're so deep there.
05:07It might have been a mistake to pick a pitcher that early.
05:08That's fine.
05:09I'm fine with Rivera.
05:10Alright, fine.
05:11Yeah, I'm going to hit him.
05:12Fine.
05:13I'm fine with that.
05:14Alright.
05:15Alright, here we go.
05:16So I'm going to go away from that.
05:17And I am going to go with the greatest options.
05:21Greatest, come on.
05:22There's a lot of good players left on the board here.
05:24I don't love these options.
05:25Sorry.
05:26It's because you're a Mets fan.
05:27There's a lot of good options on the board.
05:30Alright.
05:31I'm torn right now between going between second base and right field.
05:38Alright, we're going right field.
05:41Give me Paul O'Neal.
05:42Going Paul O'Neal and right.
05:43You know, he's going to get the team fired up.
05:45He might break some bats, knock some water coolers over in the dugout.
05:48Got to go with Paul O'Neal.
05:49That would have been my next pick.
05:50Good pick.
05:51Okay.
05:52Alright.
05:53My next pick.
05:56Greg Nettles.
05:57Greg Nettles could pick it over at third with the best of them.
06:01He can also throw hands with George Brett if we need it.
06:03If George Brett comes onto the field during Alzheimer's Day.
06:06We're in good shape.
06:07Give me Greg Nettles playing third base.
06:08Great player.
06:09Greg Nettles.
06:10I like that one.
06:11That's a solid one.
06:12Okay.
06:13I'm going to go second base here.
06:14I'm going to keep it with a guy from my neighborhood from East Flatbush, Brooklyn.
06:17Willie Randolph.
06:18I'm going to go with Willie Randolph for second.
06:20Solid second baseman for the Yankees.
06:22Loved.
06:23The Mets manager too.
06:24Going Willie Randolph at second base.
06:25This is a weak position in the draft.
06:27No offense to the rest on this.
06:29Shortstop?
06:30Yep.
06:31Give me Bucky Dent.
06:32Just a legend.
06:33Had one of the biggest hits in Yankees history.
06:34Give me Bucky Dent.
06:35That is a weak position in the draft.
06:37Derek Jeter not showing up this year.
06:39Derek Jeter not showing up this year.
06:40It's a shame.
06:41Are you shading Derek Jeter for not coming through?
06:43No.
06:44He said that he doesn't want to play in the game.
06:45It's a shame that he's not going to Old Timers Day, but Derek Jeter can do what Derek Jeter
06:48wants to do.
06:49If he doesn't want to go to Old Timers Day, I'm not going to be upset about it.
06:51That is fair.
06:52Well, I'm going to be upset about it, but I'm not going to shame him for it.
06:54All right.
06:55That's fair.
06:56I've also been thinking about the other outfield positions for me.
06:59We've got Paul O'Neill right for me.
07:02I am going to go.
07:05God, you're taking Bernie.
07:08You killed me.
07:09I like you taking Bernie.
07:10Big pick.
07:11That's a steal of the draft so far.
07:12I think it is a steal of the draft.
07:13I think that was good.
07:15All right.
07:16I'm going to go with Johnny Damon and left.
07:21Okay.
07:22I'm going to take Damon and left.
07:23I know his Yankee years were okay, but again, we're talking about these players at the peaks
07:27of their career.
07:28Johnny Damon was a really good player.
07:30He was.
07:31Better for his time at the Red Sox, which he didn't love, but he was a solid Yankee.
07:35Yeah, he was.
07:36I'm going to go with Johnny Damon.
07:37I'm going to stick in left field, and maybe it's silly since you just went there, but give
07:41me Roy White.
07:42Oh, that's not where I thought you were going to go.
07:44Roy White was a great player.
07:46I'm going with the older guys, which I'm surprised.
07:48You thought I was going to go older?
07:51You would think, right?
07:52Listen.
07:53Okay.
07:54You might see.
07:55I respect my Yankees history, though.
07:56Give me Roy White.
07:57Okay.
07:58You're going there.
07:59Okay.
08:00Center field.
08:01I'm going to go lead Mazzilli here.
08:03That's going to be my pick.
08:04Wow.
08:05I'm going to lead Mazzilli in center.
08:06No Mick the Quick?
08:07No.
08:08Okay.
08:09No.
08:10I wouldn't want Mick the Quick there.
08:11All right.
08:12First base.
08:13You've already picked Tino.
08:14Give me Chris Chambliss.
08:15One of the biggest hits in Yankees history.
08:16A huge, huge, huge hit.
08:18Okay.
08:19So, you've got Chris Chambliss.
08:21You have Jeff Posada catching.
08:23Yep.
08:24Well, everybody knows who my catcher is going to be, so that doesn't matter.
08:27Yep.
08:28Save that for last.
08:29Yeah.
08:30There you go.
08:31It would be a waste to take him anyplace else.
08:33All right.
08:34So, I've got first covered.
08:35I've got second covered.
08:36I don't have third.
08:39You took Craig Nettles, correct?
08:41I did.
08:42All right.
08:43We've got to go with Aaron Boone.
08:44Got to go with the current manager of the Yankees.
08:46Got to take Aaron Boone for this one.
08:48The other options here are not great.
08:51A lot of utility guys.
08:53I'm going with Aaron Boone.
08:55Good pick.
08:56It's a good pick.
08:57I had him on my third base big board, by the way.
09:00Your second on your third base big board.
09:02Yep.
09:03All right.
09:04Which is fair.
09:05This draft.
09:06I like that.
09:07I like that pick.
09:08Listen.
09:09If I had to take a top pick for third base, I would have gone with Craig Nettles.
09:11Got to do that.
09:12Of course.
09:13Going to right field now.
09:15Give me David Justice.
09:17He was mostly a DH, but when he wasn't DH and he was playing right field.
09:22Give me David Justice in right field.
09:24David Justice is solid.
09:25That's a solid pick.
09:26At his peak, he was a very feared hitter.
09:29So, you can't be mad at that.
09:32Okay.
09:33So, for me, I guess I've got Mazzilli.
09:37I'm just going through my table.
09:39Well, I guess for me it's down to short.
09:42I think I have his catcher.
09:43Oh, and short.
09:44Short as well, too.
09:45Shortstop.
09:46This is not, this is not great.
09:49This is not, this is not great.
09:52All right.
09:53There's one player I like here because I loved his speed as a utility guy off the bench.
09:59I don't really want him started, but I'm going to go with another guy who was short-handed.
10:02Could play a little short for you, could play a little third for you.
10:05Was a good Yankees utility player.
10:07Luis Soho.
10:08I'm going to go with Luis Soho.
10:09I like that.
10:10I think he got some good value with him.
10:11He was short-handed.
10:12Yeah.
10:13He wouldn't mess it up.
10:14He was good.
10:15If he needed to come in for Jeter, he was solid.
10:16Yep.
10:17If he needed to play a third, a hot corner, he was good, too.
10:18Luis Soho.
10:19Good player.
10:20Yeah.
10:21No issues with that.
10:22All I've got left is Pitcher.
10:24And there's a lot to choose from.
10:25You picked Moe.
10:26I think I know where you're going.
10:28There's a lot of good ones that I feel bad that we're not picking here.
10:32Yeah.
10:33I got to go with The Rocket.
10:34It's his first time at Old Timers Day.
10:35I got to go with Roger Clemens.
10:37I mean, Susan Walman.
10:38Right?
10:39Susan Walman might get excited about that.
10:40I know.
10:41What a moment.
10:42What a moment.
10:43All-time moment.
10:44Goodness gracious.
10:45All right.
10:46Listen, there's a lot of good pictures we left on the board here, Tyler.
10:48A lot of good pictures.
10:49John Guidry.
10:50You got Andy Pettit.
10:51I thought you might go with Pettit.
10:52Roger Clemens.
10:53I mean, he was one of the best pitchers of all time.
10:55Yeah.
10:56You can't go wrong with him.
10:57It was a peak.
10:58Look, Dwight Gooden was one of the best at his peak.
11:00I'm more sure with the Mets.
11:01Sure.
11:02El Duque.
11:03Actually.
11:04Big game pitcher.
11:05I loved El Duque.
11:06All-time big game pitcher.
11:07Yeah.
11:08All-time big game pitcher.
11:09El Duque, if we were picking a rotation here or we were picking multiple starters, El Duque
11:12would have been there for me.
11:13All right.
11:14So everybody knows my last pick.
11:15I have no choice because Tommy forced my hand.
11:17I have to take John Flaherty as catcher.
11:20I do not feel great at that.
11:21No shade to you, John Flaherty.
11:23We love you.
11:24You got the better catcher, Jorge Posada.
11:26What are you going to do?
11:27I use strategy here.
11:28You went with pitcher early in the draft.
11:29There's so many pitchers.
11:30That might have been a mistake.
11:31You got to go with the weaker, less depth early in the draft.
11:34I felt like you might know what's coming with Mariano Rivera, but you're not going
11:38to be able to hit it.
11:39All right.
11:40Right.
11:41I like that.
11:42I've heard that before.
11:43The old-timers game was what?
11:44Three innings?
11:45Three innings.
11:46Yeah.
11:47Mariano Rivera got that.
11:48He can do it.
11:49I know.
11:50Plus, who said he's the greatest pitcher ever?
11:51I have the better team.
11:52You sure?
11:53Well, he feels pretty good.
11:54I do.
11:55That he has the better team.
11:56He had a big board.
11:57I did.
11:58Mel Kiper of the Yankees old-timers day draft.
12:01That's what he has become.
12:02That's what they're calling me.
12:03Tommy feels like he's the better team.
12:04I feel like I got the better pitcher he's not going to be able to hit, so it's not going
12:07to matter.
12:08Let us know what you think in the comments.
12:10Does Tommy have the better team?
12:11Does Dex have the better team?
12:13Did Nikolai do a good job picking numbers one and five?
12:16Great job.
12:17I think he did.
12:18He only had five numbers he could pick from.
12:19You know, it is what it is.
12:20That is Tommy Hogan.
12:21I'm Dex Henry.
12:22Please let us know what you think about our Yankees old-timers day teams and then enjoy
12:27old-timers day.
12:29We did a great day with our Yankees talk, so I can't try any good weekend flash innovation.
12:36If we are here, letting us know what's going on now.
12:40We want to stay in theубог Potter talk before we get on you.
12:50We want to run out easily.
