00:00Let's talk some pitching.
00:01Get me excited.
00:02Who do you have next?
00:03Well, another one who I feel like went undrafted, especially in shallow leagues, but I would
00:07pick him up immediately is Shane Bieber.
00:09You're not going to see Shane Bieber for a while.
00:11I mean, it's going to be in the second half of the season for sure, but this is an ace.
00:16And as you were talking about, you know, teams would kill to have a, an ace added to a rotation
00:21at some point last year, before he got hurt in 2024, first two starts were incredible
00:2620 strikeouts in 12 innings before the Tommy John surgery.
00:29So you're probably not going to see him until you're looking at somewhere around July.
00:34That would be my guess.
00:36But remember July, August, September, that's a pretty good stretch there where Shane Bieber
00:40could be really useful and a good Cleveland guardians team.
00:44So to me, this is a guy that you absolutely, if he's still floating around the waiver wire
00:47where people just missed him because he wasn't high up in the rankings, that happens a lot,
00:51especially in those late drafts where people just, you know, aren't paying that much attention
00:55to the guys that are just kind of floating around because their projections aren't high
00:58in the sites because they're not playing till the second half of the year.
01:01Shane Bieber absolutely is a guy you want to stash another pitcher to Uri Perez, same
01:05deal.
01:06Had the Tommy John is coming back from it.
01:09He's probably not going to be available till the latter part of the season, maybe late
01:12July as well, but he wasn't going to have a ton of innings anyway, this year.
01:16So Uri Perez, another guy that flirted with greatness.
01:20He is still very young.
01:21He's in his early twenties.
01:22He's got the kind of stuff that, you know, gets major league baseball teams, very excited.
01:27Probably at some point when Sandy Alcantara gets dealt, Uri Perez is going to have an
01:31open rotation spot, I think around that same time.
01:34So you could see that move happening.
01:36So I'll put it to you.
01:37If you only have one of these guys, Shane Bieber or Uri Perez, who would you rather
01:40stash if you have one spot available?
01:43It's a great, great question.
01:44I like Bieber because what I know, and I like the team that he's on, I like the bullpen
01:48that he has.
01:49So give me the Biebs.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Biebs.
01:52I'll take the Biebs too.
01:53But if you're in those deeper leagues and Biebs is gone, Uri Perez, a nice consolation
01:56prize.
01:57So early in the season, believe it or not, the market's already moving.
02:01So we're going to take a look at two lines right now that have already changed dramatically
02:05from where they open to where they sit right now.
02:08Just a couple of games can move the needle quite a bit.
