00:00a lot of big names here on this list, too, including number 25, George, who Houston seems
00:07to be all in on. Like, they've let everybody go except Yordan. So, they are hoping that
00:14Yordan is the superstar that they want him to be. He still does qualify in the outfield,
00:18played some left field last year. But Spencer Steer, remember Steer and McLean going into
00:23fantasy season, you know, a lot of people still high on that Reds offense. They had
00:27some serious injuries last year. That was part of it. Riley Green on Detroit. Rosa
00:31Reyna is now in Seattle. For those of you who missed the end of last season, Nick Castellanos,
00:36you pretty much know what you're getting there. Yordan's in Houston. Tyler O'Neal, third team
00:40in three years. St. Louis, Boston, now goes to Baltimore. So, good spot for him there.
00:45Jackson Chorio, who we know is going to go a lot higher than you want to draft him. But
00:50that's just the reality of fantasy baseball. We always want the hot name. Brian De La Cruz,
00:54shockingly this high from last year, non-tendered by Pittsburgh. He's now a spring invite, I
01:01think, for Atlanta. Rafaela qualifies, second short in the outfield. Jerks a pro for a career
01:06year with Atlanta. I'm sorry, career year last year, now is with Atlanta. Probably a
01:10pass for me. I'll go with somebody else. But those are some of the candidates here, George.
01:14You like anyone here? I mean, I like Riley Green. I think he's another guy who's going
01:19to put it, sort of has already put it all together. He's got a little bit of everything.
01:23He's got power, got some speed there. Detroit's a better team now. They would have been better
01:29with Bregman as well here, but there are better teams. I'm a Riley Green guy. I am staying
01:33away from Rosarito. I don't feel bad for the guy. He goes from a team that, a rough ballpark
01:39in Tampa to a rough ballpark in Seattle. It doesn't get any easier. Castellanos, you know,
01:44sort of that fourth for the outfield. He's there, fine, but his best days are behind
01:48him as well. I certainly like Alvarez, but he's a guy I can't rely on. He's not playing
01:52anywhere near 162 as well. Also, I do wonder this, you know, with Altuve going to left
01:56field, does that mean Alvarez is your full-time DH? Although they say, yeah, Altuve is going
02:01to play second base and left field, which is when he doesn't. I mean, it's a weird situation
02:06there. Love Churio. He's not going to be 27th next season. If he's doing a show a year from
02:12now, he's moving in probably half that. I think he'll be a top 15. I feel that's not
02:16better than that. Yeah. Alvarez is deep. He may not be able to get that high. Anybody
02:21else? Daily Cruz, Rafaela, Profar, no. You know, I'm not as high. I'm a Churio on this
02:28list, Alvarez, of course, and Riley Green would be my top three. Okay, fair enough.
02:34Some names. Are we going to pitchers here, Sam? I forgot. Okay, we are. Just some names
02:39not here, George. Let me throw them out to you. Dylan Cruz on the Washington Nationals,
02:43a name that's going higher in drafts than maybe some people expect. Is Christian Yelich
02:49still for you in this conversation? An MVP several years ago. If you look at his numbers
02:55based on the games that he played last season, fantastic season. Maybe I don't think he's
03:00going back to the Christian Yelich for 50 home runs, but definitely very draftable.
03:05And Giancarlo Stanton. I don't know that he qualifies anymore anyway, but got to bring
03:08him up to. I don't know if he qualifies now. If he didn't play much outfield for the Yankees
03:13last year, he may be your DH. I mean, if Stanton would ever hit during the regular season like
03:18he does during the playoffs, my God, he also plays. So we'll see what Stanton does there.
03:24Stanton's probably just a DH for me. As far as Yelich, I think he's empty for opening
03:30day at best. You know what they add there? The micro, whatever for the back thing. No,
03:35I'm not touching him. I am not touching Yelich because once again, he's a named guy who's
03:39probably going to go a little earlier than I would feel comfortable with. I don't think
03:42he's going to start opening day. Maybe as part of April. And I don't think he's playing
03:45every game after that. I think that we have to manage his back injury, maybe for the rest
03:48of his career. So Yelich is going to be that guy where, you know what, let someone else
03:52take him. Let's let him be someone else's problem. He won't be mine.
03:55All right, George Springer, another name from the past. He used to be a high fantasy pick,
04:00not so much anymore.
