a couple players that you're buying in on compared to their
draft position right now. So Fernando tati's jr. Is number
one for me, I've actually been trying to trade for him in
every Dynasty League that I'm in,
but my league mates are a little too smart
because I think, right now we're forgetting how good this
guy is even coming off. Yes, the fractured wrist, the PD
suspension
that shoulder surgery.
The last time we saw tatis
He led the National League in home runs and that was playing
through a compromise shoulder. I mean, certainly, his
reputation has taken a hit, but he's one of the most talented
players in the game. He's only going to
miss the first 20 games this season as he finishes out that
PD suspension. So that's basically like a stint on
the injured list and then you have a top five fantasy player
from that day for it
to me. I'm not letting him fall past
maybe late first, round early second round. That's how
aggressive I want to be in on him this year.
He had 19 points. 75 ATP
for Tots. He's right now.
Scott, are you as optimistic on tha T's? When he returns?
I think I Mutual to taste. I think is ATP is fair for me,
but
I don't know. The shoulder makes me be a little bit more
nervous than DJ does. But still, I mean, we know what
Todd sees is upside, is he could be the number one, you
can be on your magazine next year, that's how good he is
the cover.
So the guy I'm targeting a little bit further down. The
ADP list is Willie Adamas. So I think is the most underrated
shortstop in baseball
Ball.
He's been a different player since he went to Milwaukee and
I know if it part of his the park, I don't part of his, he
fixed an eye problem that a vision problem he was having.
But his slugging percentage has gone up by about 60 points and
last year 31 home runs, 98, RBIs and he misses about 25
games of the season? So, I mean, those numbers would have
been a little bit more.
Maybe it's how our eye changes if he talks in 111 runs and
hits like 35, home runs, maybe people treat him differently
and I don't think he's a batting average drain his
career. Average is around 250.
Five. So I think you're going to get Exquisite power from
him. Exquisite run production, and you might even get a plus
average and he still hadn't. Aged
aged 27 season. I don't know what we've seen his best yet.
Milwaukee is a good place for home runs. I
again
sometimes the changes we don't, it's not obvious stuff. It's
not like every major media Outlet wants to talk about
Willie Adamas his eyesight, but he's fixed, he's corrected
a problem. He had its improved. His paper
plate, recognition is slugging, percentage is a lot higher in
Milwaukee and I think it's come with a lot less fanfare.
Brewers haven't been as interesting the last few years
as Christian Yelich is
hitting into another ground ball,
double play, as we as we
tape this podcast. But
he's not really diverse, not gonna be the MVP. Yeah. Yeah.
He's gonna be on the cover of your magazine next year, but
I think he's gonna outkick is ATP by like three or four rounds.
I totally agree with you. He's on my list as well. What you
love about Adamas is he puts the ball in the air
and he plays half of his games and one of the most
hitter friendly ball parks and sports. So
I'm all in on a Damas to
another name. I wanted to mention is Corey Seager and you
look at his first season in Texas. Hit to 45 which is just
not what Corey Seager does.
And despite that batting average, last year he hit
the ball, extremely hard
is xba was at 283, which is
basically right in line with his career average. And he was
really hurt by the shift last year, my pet real of mlb.com
friend of the show here recently, estimated that Seager
lost 20 hits
compared to if the shift first
Chickens were in place
already like they're going to be this year in 2023. So
I think spec that batting average to come back to where it
usually is
and for those lovely counting stats to be there as well.
Probably more RBIs probably more runs scored as a result of
not losing as many hits as you did last year. So
I'm in on Seeger his ATP right now is 67.1 for on NFC. So
if you miss out on those top that top wave of shortstops,
I think you should feel pretty good about some love the secret
call second Year after a big contract. So he's got
everything figured out in Texas about how his life is rooted
and we know one of the big stories of the years you know
how are these new rules going to change things when people
say to me who's going to benefit the most from
the shift, the first name, I think of is Corey Seager.
