00:03 This is a big reason why Cleveland is where they are, Davis, is again,
00:06 guys like this.
00:07 They just always seem to be able to find guys, develop them,
00:11 and then use them in these different roles.
00:13 A strikeout per inning, an ERA under one, 17 out of 20 in saves,
00:19 and just simply put, one of the very best in the game as it goes right now.
00:25 Okay, I lied.
00:26 Earlier in the show I said I'd never seen an OPS plus,
00:30 or an ERA plus higher than 700.
00:33 Emmanuel Classe, 1,219 ERA plus.
00:37 So I guess these crazy relievers just kind of break that idea.
00:42 But he is 17 saves in 28 innings pitched,
00:47 strikes out 28% of opposing batters, 2% walk rate.
00:52 By the way, he has led baseball in saves in each of the last two seasons.
00:56 He leads baseball overall in saves the last three years.
01:00 So, Craig, you know as well as I do,
01:03 you push him all the way up your draft board next year.
01:05 Oh, you got to get -- imagine if you don't take Emmanuel Classe,
01:09 you're going to be dead in saves.
01:11 You can't possibly win.
01:12 You got to take him.
01:13 Got to take him in the second round.
01:15 Elite ratio.
01:16 Oh, Emmanuel Classe is no longer the Guardians' closer.
01:19 He blew three in a row.
01:21 And now Andrew Kittredge is closing for the Cleveland Guardians.
01:25 You know it as well as I do.
01:26 It's a tale as old as time.
