00:00There's a bunch of players at 117, 122, 125, and 126 that I'd be fine rostering.
00:07They are Teoscar Hernandez, Taylor Ward, Luis Robert, and Joe Adele.
00:12Now, with that said, what does this say about outfield overall if you miss early?
00:19Well, when you get into this territory, everybody has got a wart pretty much.
00:23I think Isaiah Suzuki is grossly undervalued, actually, to tell you the truth.
00:27This is a guy with three straight years since he's come to the major leagues of an 800 or more
00:32OPS.
00:33And I don't think he gets enough credit.
00:34And last year, he gave up some batting average, but he hit a lot more home runs.
00:37And I'm willing to make that sacrifice again in 2026 for my country and for my fantasy team.
00:42I'm willing to do that.
00:43Isaiah Suzuki is a guy that I think is very steady.
00:45That Cubs lineup is very good.
00:46Just got better year over year as well.
00:48So, Isaiah Suzuki is that one guy that I would absolutely circle as like my target.
00:53Again, if you're missing out on outfield, how do you make up ground?
00:55I think it's with guys like Isaiah Suzuki.
00:57After that, O'Neal Cruz, he's got power.
01:00He's got speed.
01:00It's contact.
01:01That's the problem.
01:02However, I will say this.
01:04I think O'Neal Cruz this year, surrounded by a little bit more professional lineup around him, could be better.
01:09If Conor Griffin comes in and hits, too.
01:12God, he's looked so good this spring, too.
01:14Man, that kid is as advertised.
01:16I mean, Conor Griffin is definitely.
01:17He really is.
01:18It really could change the landscape of the Pirates.
01:21But O'Neal Cruz, again, a player that I was never the biggest fan of, but now it's become a
01:27reverse where I feel like he's such a value that I'm in drafts now with like my co-host of
01:32Fantasy Bros MLB on YouTube where we do drafts.
01:34He's like, you just took O'Neal Cruz?
01:35I'm like, yeah, that's the guy you love the last three years.
01:38I was like, yeah, he's disappointing.
01:39I was like, yeah, he's disappointing at your ADP, but not at mine, not in Roto Leagues where you're looking
01:43for power and speed.
01:45Yellich scares me a little bit always because of the back issues.
01:48Like, it's just another year older, I don't know.
01:51I'm just not a Yellich investor.
01:53Michael Harris, again, I think is fine where he's being valued this year.
01:56Last year, I told you he was one of the biggest bad values, and I was correct.
02:00The first half of the year was dreadful.
02:01He did rebound in the second half, but he absolutely killed you in the first half.
02:05Kyle Stowers is interesting.
02:06This guy had a breakout season last year for the Marlins.
02:09He wants to sign a long-term deal, but the Marlins are a bit of a frugal organization, Matt, let's
02:15just say, and they weren't really looking forward to it.
02:17And it might cost him in the long run more, or Kyle Stowers might be on his way out.
02:21But last year, 25 homers, five steals, hit .288.
02:24He was kind of the linchpin of that lineup for a team that was competitive, more competitive than I think
02:28people realized that they were going to be.
02:31You mentioned Teoscar Hernandez.
02:32He's a lock for 25 homers and 90 RBI this year, hitting for the Dodgers.
02:36I agree on that value.
02:38Taylor Ward is fine.
02:39Luis Robert is another one, too.
02:41If I'm taking gambles, I want to take a gamble on Luis Robert.
02:44He's playing in a contract year.
02:45We know he steals bases.
02:47In the beginning of the year, he's probably going to hit lower in the order.
02:50If he gets off to a good start, he will move up from seven in that order to four or
02:55five.
02:55I'm telling you right now.
02:56So that's another one where you just kind of circle.
02:59And it's not because he's a Met, and it's not because he's there now.
03:02No, no.
03:03I do think when you're playing for the White Sox, think about it.
03:07Like the profile of the lineup you're playing in, and now you're in a lineup that's got Lindor, that's got
03:11Soto in it.
03:12I mean, it's a very, Beau Bichette's a very different circumstance.
