00:00Let's start with some players that you think now's the time to get rid of them.
00:06Hey, look, this guy, my gosh, in all my years of playing fantasy sports and all
00:11my years of wagering legally, of course, I have never seen a player like Byron
00:16Buxton just be so volatile.
00:20I mean, I was off Byron Buxton a long time ago.
00:23Sell high?
00:24Yeah, sure.
00:24You should never have had him in the first place, but Joe, take it away.
00:27Well, if you have him right now is the peak value over the last 15 games.
00:3153 at bats.
00:32He's in 358 with a 792 slugging and a 407 OVP is five homers and 15 RBI over
00:39that span.
00:40That's about as good as it gets for Byron Buxton.
00:42Matt, you want to take a guess?
00:44The last time Byron Buxton played a hundred games in a season.
00:47You want to take a guess on that?
00:47Yeah, when I was, uh, 2012, 12 years ago, when he was 12, 2017.
00:57It was a very good year.
00:59I'm just so over it.
01:01I can't even have it.
01:02Why am I wasting airtime on Byron Buxton?
01:05I just, I can't, how can anyone invest?
01:08How can anyone be investing in the stock that is Byron Buxton?
01:11Because right now the person who has Julio Rodriguez is desperate.
01:15So you want to give him Byron Buxton and take Julio back for the rest of the season.
01:18I think that's a deal you can pull off in redraft leagues right now.
01:21And I also think you have to look, I think you have to look at the long term
01:25here too, which is as hot as the twins are right now, they're going to cool off.
01:29It's just the nature of the beast.
01:30Uh, Jose Moran is not going to have a hit every time he walks up to the plate.
01:33And Byron Buxton, his injury history is checkered to say the least.
01:37And Royce Lewis isn't in that lineup.
01:39It's not a coincidence that these last 50 at bats have been the best of Byron
01:43Buxton we've seen in a very long time.
01:45Why?
01:45Because Royce Lewis was around for a chunk of that.
01:47So Royce Lewis isn't around anymore.
01:49So this is the perfect time to get out from underneath
01:52Byron Buxton in my opinion.
