00:00All right, one of the biggest fantasy baseball pitching stories of the first half of last
00:12season was the New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Heal, who was like amazing and awesome
00:18and slowed down at the end of last year, as most rookies do, but he was awesome, great.
00:23George is a big Yankees fan, we thought we would throw this at him to begin.
00:27The sports today, we got buy or sell, Luis Heal will be a top 20 starting pitcher this
00:33season.
00:34Boy, he was top 20 at the All-Star break, George, last year, then there was some fall
00:38off as you know.
00:39Yeah, there was.
00:40You know, I'm a Heal guy, and one thing good, the Yankees didn't slow him down as a Heal,
00:48you should have a normal innings limit this year.
00:50They don't have a great depth, so I don't think there's somebody pushing him there.
00:54Right now, Marcus Strong will be 6, Will Warren 7, these guys, they're not really threatening
00:59Heal at all.
01:00Top 20, I think he'll be right around it, so I'm going to buy this.
01:05Yankees should be a good team.
01:06I think they are the best team in the American League, not the best team in baseball, but
01:10really Baltimore took a step back, Boston took a step up, but not there with the Yankees,
01:13nobody in the Central is really there, Houston, Seattle, don't see them.
01:17So I think the Yankees are the best team, should get his share of wins, which is generally
01:20important in fantasy, unless you have quality starts.
01:22If you're going quality start, that might worry me a little bit, because Boone gets
01:26a little shaky here, you know, when guys struggle in the 5th inning area where they don't get
01:303rd or 6th inning, he goes right to that bullpen too quick here, so keep in mind there, strikeout
01:34should be there.
01:35Yeah, I'll buy this, Craig, I'll say he'll barely get in, he'll be in that 17-25 range,
01:40so give me a point of buy.
01:41Yeah, I'm not going to buy this, I'm going to sell this one, and look, by the way, give
01:47Heel so much credit for the Yankees' success last year, while we were wondering if Garrett
01:52Cole would ever come back and pitch, this guy was out there every 5th day last season,
01:57and you think of the Yankees' rotation that had Cortez for a while, and Stroman for a
02:01while, you know, they looked very different with Max Fried there too, good bounce back
02:05for Rodon, by the way, but yeah, I mean, Heel was great, but no, I cannot buy this, based
02:11off one year, I'm going to go on the outside looking in of the top 20, but that's not to
02:16say that he can't have a good year, but I'm selling this.
02:18All right, Alex Bregman goes to the Boston Red Sox, he plays second base this season,
02:24so in short order, two weeks into the season, three weeks, you'll be able, in your fantasy
02:28team, to play him at third, or play him at second.
02:31Buy or sell, George, Alex Bregman will be the best fantasy second baseman this season,
02:37so essentially what you're doing is, at least based on rankings, is you're buying him ahead
02:41of Ketel Marte and his former teammate, Alex Bregman, or his former teammate, Jose Altuve,
02:49Jose Altuve, sorry, my bad.
02:51Ketel Marte, Simeon, Altuve, Albies, I mean, the reason I'm going to sell this is it has
02:59nothing to do with Bregman, I'll take the field, you give me too many players here,
03:02and this question would have been top three, yes, I'll take top three, but you're going
03:06to say, you know, hey, too many things can happen here, we want somebody to have a breakout
03:09year, Bregman could not play well in a new stadium, even though he knows Fenway Park
03:14very well and he has a very good history there, I said, I guess as the gambler, I'm just taking
03:19the field, you give me too many options here, I'll take that somebody else is going to do
03:22that, so I'm going to sell this, even though I think he's going to have a good season.
03:25Yeah, I should have mentioned Albies too, that was one that I missed, yeah, this is
03:29a definitive sell for me, because I will take the field as well, I think at the end of the
03:38season, he'll be in the top five, he'll be in the top five, but I cannot just guarantee,
03:43I mean, Marte is going to steal more bases than him, I mean, that's a big part of this
03:48as well, and by the way, Jose Altuve like never has a bad season, like almost never,
03:54so I'm going to stick with Altuve there as well.
