00:00I like Tyler Sodestrom on this list. He's at 85. If I'm sitting there and I like where I'm at
00:05as
00:05far as I have drafted, bang, Tyler Sodestrom. And also from a wagering perspective, I just think
00:09Tyler Sodestrom overall against guys like Springer and Buxton offer you more. This is still going to
00:14always be about winning and being able to beat the next guy and being able to beat the book, Joe.
00:20Well, Sodestrom is interesting because he's very streaky. Last year in April, he was unbelievable.
00:24Nine homers and 24 RBI in the month of April. Then things slowed down considerably. He had
00:29five home runs over the next two months combined and less RBI combined over the last two months.
00:35So April was just unbelievable. Then May and June, he really struggled. He started to rebound the second
00:39half though, made some adjustments. And the second half was pretty solid there, five and 14, four and
00:4517. And then he finished up in 324 in the month of September. So I'm encouraged by what I saw
00:51to
00:51Sodestrom late. I figured he would get found out and exposed a little bit. And what you want to see
00:55with young players is do they make adjustments back? Jackson Merrill got exposed a little bit,
01:00didn't make adjustments back this year. He needs to do that. Sodestrom is in that same sort of bag.
01:05Randy Rosarine, another guy too, that, you know, it's a 2020 guy, right? You know what you're
01:09getting. I think in Roto leagues, you know, you're going to get a lower batting average. You're going
01:12to get 2020. He's going to be in a pretty good lineup. I mean, theoretically that Seattle lineup with
01:18Josh Naylor and Julio Rodriguez, you know, and, and, and a fellow named Cal Raleigh was pretty good
01:24hitting home runs. All of a sudden, like that lineup is no joke. And I think that was the thing
01:28that I, going into last year, we had questions, right? About the Mariners. We said the pitching
01:32so good, but can they generate enough offense? And they obviously heard, and they, you know,
01:37two years ago, they acquired a Rosarena. You had Cal Raleigh take that huge leap forward. That was a big
01:41change for him. Jaron Durant, another guy, I just want to circle here at number 18 in the rankings here,
01:47a 65 overall, also another good, a better version of a Rosarena going to hit for a higher batting
01:52average, going to give you a power, going to give you speed, maybe not quite as much power as a
01:56Rosarena will, but Jaron Durant, another, I think undervalued guy in those Roto formats,
02:01especially in the season long format.
