00:00Mhm. But it's time to go a little bit deeper now and just kind of look ahead a little bit
00:08to those dynasty leagues, but also some guys that are gonna be moving up organizations
00:12because when one guy gets called up, another young prospect starts to fill that void on
00:17that team's prospect list and possibly on your fancy team as well. And I want to start
00:21with Carson Williams of the Tampa Bay Rays because if and when, and I do believe it's
00:25gonna be soon junior camera narrow gets the call. Carson Williams is a guy that is really
00:30on the radar. He is that shortstop prospect that when camera gets called up, there's a
00:34good chance he's going to pop from double a to triple a. He's in three 36, five homers,
00:38nine steals. Um, he did have a bit of a strikeout problem in the NFL. Uh, but so far this year
00:44at double a, it's been under 25%. So that's a good thing, but you could see already high
00:48batting average OPS of nine 87. Everything you're looking for in a young hitter. It's
00:54there. He's a good defensive player too. So this is another guy who's going to move
00:58through this system. And we all know it's very important for the race to have these
01:01guys hit. And I don't mean, you know, figuratively, I mean, literally and figuratively. So these
01:07guys have to hit because this is the model of this organization is having good young
01:11position players come through it. What's also interesting too, to note junior Kevin arrow
01:15was taking some games at second base, which means that two things that's going to get
01:19him faster. The big leagues potentially, but also means that Brennan allows probably out
01:23longer than people realize. So if that's going to be the case, you could see Kevin
01:26arrow up playing some second base, being more flexible there between third, second and short
01:31again, they see the greatest defender. No, but I don't care. Cause the bat's so good.
01:34You'll make do with it. You'll figure it out, but it's imperative for the race to continue
01:38this, this pipeline of young position players. And this is another one in that pipeline.
01:44Another guy, Jacob Wilson, shortstop for Oakland. This guy actually got called up already this
01:48week to triple-A from double-A, but these are the double-A numbers over 112 at-bats
01:53three homers, 22 RBIs, two steals, but he was hitting a four 38 and double-A four 58
01:59OVP and an 1110 OPS. You gotta pay attention to this because those are spectacular numbers.
02:05And I mean off the charts and they're probably only going to stay hot because when you go
02:09to the PCL and triple-A it's a very hitter friendly environment. As we all know, most
02:14astounding, Matt, this is not something you see in a lot of young players, but Jacob Wilson
02:18has just 12 strikeouts in those 112 at-bats. So we all know that Oakland has its way of
02:25doing things, which is a very delicate way of putting things. I don't know how soon we
02:29might see this guy, but he should at the very least be on your dynasty radars. And at some
02:34point you might see him in August and September. So put them on your watch lists, but in dynasty
02:38leagues, this guy is a big time riser. So these are two guys at that middle infield
02:43area that I think people need to be paying attention to. Maybe not for this year so much
02:47as next year and beyond, but these are two guys that should be on your radar if you're
02:51playing in dynasty.
