00:00And then when you look at the ADPs, now we go from a range of ADP of 178 all the
00:05way down to an ADP of 231, there is a significant drop-off.
00:10Marcus Simeon, Xavier Edwards, there could be some average and stolen bases there.
00:14Bryson Stott, Jorge Polanco, Gleyber Torres, if you like what you see.
00:18Jose Caballero also will give you speed, and Joe brought up a great point with Terang.
00:23You can find speed elsewhere, and Caballero kind of illustrates that at the 225 ADP.
00:29Matt McClain is there.
00:31And then at 231, I'd like to stop and talk about Luis Garcia, because this is, again, to me, another
00:35free square.
00:36I don't think anyone is looking at a team like the Washington Nationals for anything real outside of adding to
00:42your existing lineup.
00:43But if you find yourself stuck at second base, a guy like Luis Garcia or a guy like Luis Arise,
00:49I would not mind putting them there.
00:52Because, remember, I'm a kid from the 80s, and I remember when second base didn't give you a lot, Joe.
00:57Well, yeah, Arise is right outside of this grouping here.
01:00But, you know, Marcus Simeon is an interesting one, too, because he is an older player, and he's coming off
01:05some down years.
01:06But I saw in the projected Mets lineup right now, he's looking probably to be the fifth guy.
01:12I think that's actually a good spot for him to drive in runs, and there's not a lot of pressure
01:15on him.
01:16So he's an interesting one.
01:17I think Jorge Polanco coming off a solid 20-plus homer season, also another pretty intriguing player, too.
01:23Obviously, they like him.
01:24They like what he can bring.
01:26Rafaela's one, I think, if you look deeper into the stats, you look at the on-base percentage, that is,
01:31I think, flirting with really a dangerous fantasy asset there, because I think it's very difficult.
01:37Yeah, like, he's a great defensive player.
01:39I think we all agree on that.
01:40But in terms of an everyday offensive player, I think there's some questions there.
01:43So although he gives you 20 steals last year, I don't think that's a very easy one.
01:47Bryson Stott, I think, as your middle infield guy is okay.
01:50I like what he gives you.
01:52To me, I feel much better about Stott as a 32-24 kind of guy than I do about a
01:58guy like Sadani Rafaela.
01:59Why he's going after him, I don't understand, personally.
02:03Again, sometimes these early ADPs will tell you.
02:04You also see in the early ADP a big drop for Jackson Holliday, too.
02:08He went from, you know, towards the top five, and see already the ADP has bottomed out.
02:12So keep an eye on that.
02:13You might get a huge discount on holiday, and it's a long season.
02:16The other guy I want to highlight is actually a Cardinal, believe it or not.
02:19J.J. Weatherholt, I'm a huge fan of.
02:21This guy has great contact.
02:23He has pop.
02:24He has speed.
02:24He is a throwback.
02:25He is a match striker baseball kind of guy.
02:28Look at these numbers in AA and AAA.
02:30109 games, 23 steals, 17 homers, hitting .306, a .931 OPS.
02:36His game, to me, really tracks to early success because he puts the ball in play.
02:42I love his approach to the plate.
02:44He is a complete player.
02:45J.J. Weatherholt could be part of that Cardinal turnaround.
