00:00So let's talk, let's go to Kansas city.
00:07Anyone get your attention?
00:09Yeah.
00:10MJ Melendez is interesting.
00:11He's gotten off to a great start so far.
00:13Again, part of the Royals, you know, who have just been red hot.
00:16But the one thing to keep in mind is this is a guy that struck out a ton last year.
00:19Now that strikeout rate hasn't been quite the same this year, but I do think it's going
00:23to rear its ugly head.
00:24I don't think Melendez is all of a sudden just completely changed his stripes.
00:27So Melendez is somebody that's played extremely well so far.
00:30Everything's broken right for him, but the bigger picture with Melendez is the higher
00:34strikeout rate that I think eventually he's going to come around and he will struggle
00:38at some point.
00:39And then the other name is Garrett crochet.
00:40I know yesterday crochet gave up some runs, but he also had a lot of strikeouts.
00:44So a team that's desperate for pitching help.
00:47Crochet is a guy that you can offer.
00:48Crochet is a pitcher that does have strikeout ability.
00:51He's also going to have limitations.
00:52The limitations are going to be innings as we get into the all-star break time.
00:57And the limitations are going to be he pitches for the White Sox.
01:00He's not going to have a lot of win potential.
01:02So sometimes the answers are easy.
01:05You picked up crochet.
01:06He's given you some strikeouts.
01:07He's given you more than you could ask for in April.
01:09That's great.
01:10Trade him now where his value is still high because the future is really questionable
01:15with crochet for 2024.
01:17Not talking keeper, not talking dynasty, just talking redraft.
