00:00OK, now let's get to the Padres here. I really don't have a strong opinion on this, so I love
00:04yours here. So the Padres number is lower than it has been in the past. It's 83 and a half.
00:11And I don't think this is necessarily a direct product of the Dodgers being so good. So I love your
00:16explanation as to why you think that San Diego just may be an underperforming team this year.
00:21Yeah, another one where it's good to see that I was ahead of the market. I bet the Padres under
00:2685 and a half wins and now it's all the way down to 83 and a half. And I think
00:30a big reason why is people are paying attention to this starting rotation. It'll be a theme throughout my MLB
00:37futures. You look at it and you say, all right, I like Nick Pavetta. And then afterwards, Michael King is
00:44a very talented pitcher, but he has been getting blown up in spring training and spring training.
00:51You take him with a grain of salt. But post injury spring training stats, I pay a little bit closer
00:58of attention to and he's got an ERA hovering around 11 in spring training. And then you continue to go
01:04down the rotation. Randy Vasquez put together a decent year by ERA standards. But if you look at a lot
01:09of the underlying ERA estimators of what he should have done, he's probably more of a five starter. And then
01:15you keep going and there's not a lot to hang your hat on because Joe Musgrove is going to start
01:20the year on the IS.
01:20You Darvish has already considered retirement post injury and Griffin Canning is also injured. So it's a, it's a team
01:30that AJ Preller can't really go add more at the deadline because he doesn't have that farm system. So for
01:36me again, Padres under.
