corey seager

Shelly is off for her Tout Wars draft but Sara is joined by Justin Mason and Paul Sporer to make the cases for some of our favorite players this draft season.

Discussions:

Ronald Acuña Jr. had his surgically repaired knee evaluated for an irritated meniscus, is he still the 1.1?

Battle of the Reds 1B options, do you want Spencer Steer or Jeimer Candelario 100 picks later?

Are we drafting Corey Seager where he goes despite the injury risk?

Why are we into (or out on) Christopher Morel?

Was the Ke'Bryan Hayes breakout real and is there another level?

Is Yu Darvish a good value in 2024?

As you fuel up for your drafts are pancakes or waffles the undisputed king of breakfast/brunch?

Love it or Leave it?

Jason Benetti joins the Tigers as their play-by-play guy and that might be the move of the offseason

Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) try to find potential future keeper values based on 2024 ADP. They used FantasyPros to navigate ADPs around the industry and landed on a slew of names - both pitchers and hitters - to target in your keeper startups.

8:00 - Pete starts things off with Tarik Skubal, who he believes that - if everything goes right - could be a top 3 SP.

13:43 - Chad thinks Corey Seager could provide some keeper value for 2025, even though he is already a late second/early third round player.

16:19 - Pete is back on the Jazz Chisholm Jr. train. All aboard!

19:26 - Chad sees Cole Ragans climbing draft boards and wants you to get in now to keep the 2025 keeper price lower.

22:30 - Have people cooled on Shane Bieber too much? Pete is a belieber, and the velocity is up!

26:43 - One year ago, Jordan Walker as the hottest commodity on the draft market. Now? It feels like people have forgotten about him. Chad likes the potential long-term cost.

30:39 - Pete is excited to draft Jarren Duran in his keeper leagues, especially considering his post-150 cost.

33:33 - Chad wants Riley Greene at his current cost and thinks there could be a lot of future value given his current 164 spot on FantasyPros ADP.

37:28 - Byron Buxton is essentially free yet is still just 30 years old and has immense power.

44:34 - Robert Stephenson is a little banged up right now, but it does feel like he will inevitably be the closer in Los Angeles.

48:11 - Gavin Lux is interesting at his cost to Pete, Chad is less enthused.

54:08 - Drew Rasmussen will miss most of the season, so he is basically free in drafts… get him! His keeper value for 2025 could be immense.

An exciting hour for the Get Right, what positions are set for the Cowboys, Who hit the top one hundo for the Rangers and those fanatics jersey are just not it, finishing the hour off around the NFL 

Sara and Shelly are joined by Randy Haines to recap the DARF draft through a  series of debatable moments, moves and strategies during the draft.

Discussions:

Elly De La Cruz in the third: the cost remains high, is his incredible upside worth the draft pick?

Corey Seager in the third: he's a proven fantasy contributor but will he be healthy for Opening Day? Does taking him have trickle down effects in your drafts?

Are you prioritizing hitting or pitching in a draft? Does the individual draft change that answer?

Slow drafts vs. fast drafts

How are we dealing with unsigned players this late into the offseason? Matt Chapman, Cody Bellinger, Blake Snell and more.

Shelly was drafting right after Randy, and you know where this is going: snipes! Bobby Miller, Bryce Miller, Jarren Duran and William Contreras were among the biggest snipes in this draft

Love it or leave it? We wrap up with the baseball news we're most into or out on each week.

We discuss the possibility of condensing the free agent window and expansion. 

We're into Terry Francona and Joe Maddon narrating a watch party of Game 7 of the 2016 World Series on Thursday night on MLB Network

We are out on the new MLB uniforms (and so are most of the players).

SERIES 2 EPISODE 64: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Biden Campaign slogan should literally be “MY OLD MAN CAN BEAT UP YOUR OLD MAN.”

It is the most remarkable, unexpected, startling, counter-intuitive polling data I have ever seen: The future of democracy. The future of the prosecution of Trump. The future of the nation. The future of planetary climate. It may depend on convincing voters NOT that Joe Biden is somehow NOT TOO old but on convincing voters that he and Trump are BOTH TOO OLD. New polling shows 43 percent of Americans BELIEVE they’re BOTH too old and they plan to vote as follows:

Biden 61% Trump 13%

In Pennsylvania it’s Biden 66% Trump 11%! If they’re BOTH too old – Biden wins in a landslide. Just growing the percentage IN Pennsylvania who believe they’re both too old by FIVE percent would flip 110-thousand Trump votes TO BIDEN. And helpfully Trump is not only acting old, he’s acting demented. In the last 48 hours he hasn’t known WHERE he was, nor what YEAR it was, and even The New York Times is writing about it.

Meanwhile, in a Washington courtroom, we had what one observer called a "proxy battle" for what might happen when Trump truly violates the newly-reinstated gag order. A J6 defendant freed while awaiting sentencing began to send violent, racist, homophobic, antisemitic texts to an FBI agent involved in his case, AND threatened to doxx him. The Judge had no problem cancelling his release and sending him directly to jail to await sentencing (the problem arose when he tried to resist the handcuffs and nearly took down four security officers).

B-BLOCK (28:44) IN SPORTS: What if they gave a World Series and nobody watched? Texas survived the by-now traditional early departure of Max Scherzer to pull ahead of Arizona (on the road of course) in last night's 3rd Game. But the bad TV ratings and lack of national interest among baseball fans was far worse than even I had expected. In fact, they were record-setting worse. Plus the first star of the Texas franchise, Frank Howard, died yesterday. (31:50) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Boris Johnson goes into TV news, possibly for the free hairstyling. Tim Scott says it's Iowa or bust. And why are the Philadelphia Eagles advertisements appearing next to videos of lunatic Stew Peters spewing hate and giving voice to calls for violence against organizations like Catholic Charities? And why isn't the team or the NFL doing anything about it?

C-BLOCK (37:50) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: October was the birthday month of one of my favorite humans of all-time. I met him only once but it was so memorable, so warm, so funny that a decade later when he died, I was stunned when I heard the news and broke into tears.

EPISODE 60: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Did Trump steal the classified documents not for selling or espionage or kleptomania but as Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free cards? (4:06) New Washington Post reporting informs us that besides the document describing another country's nuclear capabilities, Trump took one about Iranian missiles, another about intelligence efforts against China, and materials that would expose U.S. intelligence methods or agents, or expose this country to retaliation. These are conceivably capital crimes and maybe he thought having the documents - or copies - was his insurance (6:11) Trump fixated again on leaks over the weekend (7:04) And proposed getting leakers to confess by threatening them with rape in prison (8:19) The fascination with the leak, not the crime, extends to Trump's prostitutes like Jonathan Turley who invoke the "No Electoral Interference" unwritten law, which died six years ago this Friday at the hands of James Comey (10:12) The FBI and DOJ should be worried about Trump's plans to send goon squads to voting stations, starting in Philly, and contesting every close election (11:00) The good news is: the 1/6 Committee decision to subpoena Trump gave Nancy Pelosi the chance to make ANOTHER great joke at his expense (and gave me a chance to make an even better one!)

B-BLOCK (15:31) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Eamon in New York. (16:30) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Tucker Carlson threatens a Congressman on behalf of his failson Buckley Carlson (is his nickname Buckles?), Antisemites above the 405, Kanye insists Adidas can't drop him - so we'll have to boycott other athletes associated with Adidas, Jenna Ellis joins the surge in antisemitism, why is Centcom still helping Saudi Arabia, and Boris Johnson goes away (24:55) IN SPORTS: Yankees swept, Padres send themselves home early, oooh boy the World Series is...a reunion of the 1980 NLCS? (27:16) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Canadian Freedom Convey's impact on kids with cancer, competing with professional self-owner Matt Walsh-Blog and El Douche' himself for the honors.

C-BLOCK (30:13) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Ever watched a movie and there was a scene that seemed taken directly from your own life? It happened to me with "A Christmas Story." When Little Ralphie loses his mind and nearly kills the bully? I did that. But I had a reunion with the bully a scant 43 years later!

Patti and the Pottymouth record from neighborhood brewery 3Stars and wish them a fond farewell on their last day of operations. Pottymouth has been back to Fenway so she has a LOT to say, including reports of a hero named Jeter. Patti celebrates the return of Corey’s bat, the historic naming of Jazz to the All-Star roster, and the water wings of probable future BF J-Rod. There is pondering over the Os just being fun, or are they actually good. The UK hosts Derby X (is it “ex” or “ten?  We  don’t know!) which sounds exactly like something we would come up with over tasty beer at a local brewery.

Patti gives you the basics on how next week’s draft works, as well as an overview of the latest proposals for an international draft. Important events in girls baseball are happening from T-ball to elite levels. Advocates for Minor Leaguers toss around terms like “minor league conspiracy” and “illegal” in their response to the Senate request for information on MLB’s antitrust exemption. Pottymouth makes travel plans for the World Baseball Classic. We say “little umbrellas in our drinks,”  “hard and bitter,” and “Chipotle or lobster?”

Since 1950, three teams have issued bases loaded intentional walks and in those games, the teams issuing the intentional RBI walk are undefeated. Of course, sample size matters. Nonetheless, Craig and Rex explore this and other amazing stories from the early games in the 2022 baseball season.

Fueled by local distilleries and breweries, Patti and the Pottymouth present their new boyfriend selections from the Rangers and the Pirates, with a bonus of Pottymouth sharing her research strategy tips (hint: it involves googling the word “scandal”). Please welcome Adolis Garcia (made us say “ARod”), Corey Seager (also made us say “ARod”), Ke’Bryan Hayes (we want to have a beer with his dad), and Roberto Pérez (we want to have a beer with his mom). We propose a science project involving the rate at which Clint Frazier’s hair grows. The Hall of Fame  makes us happy with their new class from the “Early Baseball” and “Golden Days” Era, especially Minnie Miñoso.

The lockout means the only news is Minor League news - contracts for Dee Gordon-Strange and others, the minor league Rule 5 draft, and Endeavor buying up teams and forcing Patti to say the phrase “holding company”  in a baseball podcast. The Fenway Sports Group joins us in crosstraining with hockey by putting in a bid to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins. Yasiel Puig signs to play in the Korean league. The LIDOM regular season winds up this week and gets us the bonus vocabulary phrase “fi fla.” Idelmaro Vargas is tearing it up in LVBP, which goes until 12/16.

We say aguardiente, professional bull riding, and fluffy haired folk.

The boys jump right into two big topics that are happening this week: the MLB Lockout & Free Agency. They discuss the points the league and players union are negotiating over as well as the worthiness of the whole thing. After, they discuss the insane free agency signings. This leads into the boys debating whether Javier Baez is a good fit for the Detroit Tigers and what he will bring to the table and if they are done signing big names or not. Even though it's been a hell of a ride, there are still more big names out there and the boys predict where they see them going. They round out the show with some Collection Corner and soe Clint 'Red Thunder' Frazier talk!
