00:00fantasy players offensively. Nathaniel Lowe, Texas Rangers, provided they do nothing here
00:09offensively at the deadline. Lowe is a good pickup, 42% owned, 268 batting average. If you
00:15look at his season last year, it was better. You can say that about every Ranger this year,
00:20I would say. So maybe Law of Averages gives you a better Nathaniel Lowe in the last two months.
00:27Maybe. I don't think I'm banking on that. We do hear the Rangers are in the market for offense,
00:32mainly because of Evan Carter and Josh Young. They don't know when they're going to get those
00:35guys back who've been out for a good portion of the season. So I don't know if that would
00:39impact Lowe at all. Maybe yes, maybe no. But as I said, Lowe, your best case scenario, he's a CI
00:45DH utility player here. I don't know if I see big things coming from the second half. I think he
00:48sort of is what he is. You could get lucky. Maybe he goes off, but I wouldn't bank on it.
00:54All right. Angels have Zach Netto, who stands to play every day now, tomorrow, in the future.
01:00Nice young player, 18 stolen bases on the season. He's now up to 33% owned over on Fantasy Pros
01:07and climbing. Some are discouraged over the strikeouts and the batting average, but George,
01:13this is a very good option, I think, for people, especially in the Dynasty League format.
01:18Agreed. I'm going to call him Nitto, by the way, because he's Nitto. I love the bags,
01:23right? I love the stolen bases. And the average is not killing you, by the way. Major League
01:27average is what? 240, 241. So he's above that. A little under the Fantasy average,
01:32but he's not killing you in it. Right? Got a little bit of power there, a little bit of speed,
01:36drives in some runs. Like I said, solid middle infielder for you. And for me personally,
01:41I know I need the stolen bases. So he's definitely somebody I'd be interested in.
01:45All right. Oakland's got a litany of players to trade. Are they going to do that by Tuesday? If
01:49so, Max Schumann stands to get more playing time. He's up to six home runs on the season,
01:5526 runs driven in, 10 stolen bases, playing a lot. And George, he stands to play a lot more.
02:01By the way, nothing would surprise us with Oakland. I mean, they can move this guy too.
02:06Yes. You said maybe he's going to be the guy on the move. We don't know, right? Maybe Rooker gets
02:10moved. We'll see here. Zach Giela, we'll see. We don't know what Oakland's going to do. I don't
02:15think there's anybody that's nailed down there, right? Going to play in Sacramento next season,
02:19in Vegas, and the Lord knows eventually there. So there's no one nailed down in Oakland. I mean,
02:24I don't think there's absolutely anybody that's definitely going to be in Sacramento A next year.
02:29So it is what it is here. So if you want to go for him, fine. I'm probably not expecting Max to be
02:34all that much over the rest of the season. It is sort of a wait and see thing. The trade deadline,
02:38for those who don't know, is Tuesday at 6 p.m. Eastern time, and we'll see who's left standing.
