00:00let's get to the average draft position of some other first basemen as our fantasy previews
00:04continue uh wilson contraris as we mentioned and there's walker i mean i feel like houston's
00:09trying to find another spot for walker which is weird because they just got him last year
00:13uh spencer torkelson alec burleson uh could be you know honestly the best hitter on the
00:18cardinals this season let's just call it what it is uh akamoto on toronto they signed him in the
00:23offseason jonathan aranda fantastic year and then we don't know a ton about this munitaka murakami
00:29but the white socks invested a lot in him this season including a bidet to make sure he was happy
00:34so i'm guessing that a decent fantasy season is coming from him as well but i like this group
00:39here george i even like alec burleson like burleson is not going to give you any runs driven in okay
00:44like he's not driving in 90 or 80 because the cardinals are going to be bad but i think he's
00:49going to hit like i i like four or five guys from this group i would pass on the previous
00:53group for
00:54some of these uh my most these guys are corner infielders there are some guys who can be booms
01:01here i said i do like torkelson i would have no problem starting him i think i'll get my power
01:05i'll find the average someplace else the bases are always a problem for me uh someone like burleson i
01:10mean power is going to be an issue but he's not going to drive in any runs he's not going
01:14to really
01:14hit the home runs for you here he's the definition of a corner uh in my mind so i'm gonna
01:19i don't want
01:19him starting at first base for me because that means i was only gonna have you know cornerfield
01:23not doing all that much either here uh the japanese the akimoto and murakami i just need to know that
01:30they're gonna play i think they're both going to hit all right uh i probably worry about as far as
01:34playing time more for akimoto because they have so many guys there all right uh as far as who they
01:39can't all play all right uh clement and guys like that uh so that's one worry i would have there
01:44but
01:45obviously i love the ballpark of toronto short turf and all that murakami plays also on a
01:49band box especially once the weather heats up which granted may not be till june but uh and
01:54what i like about murakami is no reason to pitch around them all right they're not gonna win many
01:58games right so you're not worried about oh my god we got to walk the sky so we don't lose
02:01the game
02:02so he'll get his pitch to hit there so i kind of like those guys as boom or bust um
02:06i said i think
02:07these most of these guys are really corner infielders but if you waited which i don't mind waiting by
02:12the way i don't think a lot of these guys would hurt you i think there is some advantages here
02:16to
02:16taking these guys late because hey you sort of get a bonus here because you built up at other
02:20positions that's the key you have to make sure you're strong in other positions odds are especially
02:24if you're playing a you know 14 and up league you're not gonna be great everywhere all right
02:29it's just there's not enough guys to go around here so in that case i'm playing in a 14 16
02:3318 team league
02:34first base is a position i can wait at to take one of these guys definitely so but then if
02:39you wait
02:40and as george said and made a really good point at this point you're looking at players that
02:44maybe aren't you're starting first baseman but you're playing in fantasy baseball you have to
02:48field a corner infielder so it may be third it may be first here are some of those players let's
02:54move
02:54on and hit on sal stewart whose adp is 221 on the reds and the same could be said for
03:01spencer steer we
03:02saw ernie clement with a really nice postseason uh alec bohm qualifies at first place third as well
03:08jack caglione was going a lot higher in last year's drafts after hitting 150 there he is at
03:14adp 249 luis arias love him hate him you know exactly what he's doing this season he's batting
03:20300 he's not hitting any home runs or driving any runs in but he's batting 300 and that's it
03:24uh kyle manzardo rounds out our uh adp here i would also add there's a couple other names too
03:30not seen but a little bit lower ryan o'hearn signed a nice contract with the pittsburgh pirates i think
03:36he could factor in with some offense josh bell is back for another season with another team i
03:40believe it is the twins am i right this year with minnesota twins so uh you know some nice little
03:44corner shots here you i think george you're gonna try to take a stab at caglione here but my gosh
03:50he
03:50was so bad last year 150 wow you literally did name the player i was gonna talk about first uh
03:57yeah i
03:58wouldn't mind taking a shot he was he was listen i had him uh last year uh and like i
04:02said about my
04:02home league here i took caglione as soon as he came up i dropped him and i took nick kurtz
04:07all
04:08right that's how that worked there i think i might have dropped the kurtz too and got him back real
04:12quick uh but yeah i had caglione on i i do like to take shots on that young guy supposed
04:17to have
04:17positions where i'm a little weak and i was weak at first base i don't remember who my original first
04:20baseman was maybe he got hurt maybe he just sucked whatever it might be but yeah i'll take a shot
04:24on
04:24the rookies so caglione isn't he's had a season to work on it watch the video he's supposed to be
04:29a
04:29very good player this is not a guy came out of nowhere he's supposed to be a star here i
04:33think
04:33he'll be better i know that's not saying much but i think he'll be better but yeah i would take
04:37a shot
04:37alec bomb is another guy philadelphia it's a bam box i like guys who play in small parks you know
04:42even mistakes go out you know they're gonna need him did some home runs this he's another guy i'm
04:46will look at as well
04:47you
