Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle. I am Ryan Warmley,
joined as always by Mike Mayer, who wanted me very
explicitly to tell everybody that he is editor in chief
here at Fantasy Pros. Is really important to him that
I use this title. But not as always. We have
a guest today. We had a few guests last season.
We haven't really done it a lot this year, Mayor,
but I was talking to George and I was like,

(00:26):
you know what, we want to get some guests on.
He's great. We talked to him during the Fantasy Fest
back in March, so let's bring him on again. George
Bissel from Road a World editor, writer, a whole bunch
of stuff over there, no known official title. George, thanks
for coming on with us.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hey, guys, thanks for having me. It's great to be here.
I'm honored to be one of the very few guests
to come on this show, and you got me at
a perfect time. We're sort of in that little transitional
state before we hit the trade deadline next week. We
just had the MLB Draft, so we had a bunch
of new names to talk about for Dynasty purposes, and
we're gonna have a lot of prospects moved at the
trade deadline as well, so really fun time in the
baseball calendar. A lot to get to.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
It's always an interesting couple weeks because you have that
reset at the All Star break. It's kind of the
unofficial start of the second half, even though technically that
started a few weeks earlier, but it does feel like
you're almost in a holding pattern right ahead of the
trade deadline, just to kind of see how things shake
out before you really get into the stretch run. So
it's an interesting time of year, and yeah, we're definitely
happy to have you on. We're gonna run through some
news and notes, just general stuff going on in baseball.

(01:23):
Then we want to talk about your mega update to
your Fantasy Baseball Dynasty rankings on Roade World, your top
five hundred players in Dynasty, so we'll talk about that,
and then we're going to kind of do a second half,
you know, stretch run, playoff run, kind of strategy guide
from George how we're approaching the final couple months of
the season, because it's hard to believe. It feels like
just yesterday we were on the Fest talking bold predictions

(01:43):
that we were just mentioned before the show. Were largely
very incorrect. And here we are here, you know, just
a couple of weeks away from the playoffs and head to
head leagues, and just a few months left in the season.
So let's go ahead and dive right in and mayor
do you want to run us through some of these
news and notes. I did write down the first one,
which I was like, not at all fantasy actionable. But
Jotani has five straight games with the homer just worth noticing,

(02:05):
you know, mentioning it's awesome, He's really good. NOI what
you could talk about fantasy? What else do we have
here in the news and notes?

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, I mean, you know, Tani five trade games. It
almost feels like any other batter. We'll be like, whoa,
this is incredible, and of Tani, it's like wow, like
he's still really good.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
It's like not even news. We rarely even talked about it.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
If you if I didn't like see it yesterday in
like our discord with someone talking about it, I might
not have even realized that happened. A couple of names,
you know, Jordan mentioned the trade deadline is coming up,
so we might see some big picture names traded. You know,
some are pitching better than others. The biggest name is
probably Joe Ryan, just because he's, you know, one of

(02:43):
the best pitchers out there in baseball right now. He's
pitching really well, he I said, the biggest name, but
he also kind of like feels underappreciated. It seems like
most year it's like because he's really really good. The
Twins still have a couple of years of control on him,
and so they're like listening for offers, but it kind
of sounds like the situation where they might need to
be blown away. Dylan Cees not having as good of
a year, but he could also be traded, So we

(03:05):
could see a bunch of like big names like that,
like Dylan Cees, Joe Ryan, Sandy al Contras is an
interesting case, and maybe even Edward Cabrera on the Marlins.
Nick Lodolo just through a complete game shut out. He's
you know, we can talk about him a little bit
if you want. He's kind of having a really really
good breakout year for him. But I don't know if
I buy all the things happening, you know, behind you know,

(03:28):
all the underlying data is like not necessarily painting like
the prettiest picture for Lodolo but still having a really
good year.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
TODJ.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Bradley, very famous on this show, was demoted the other
day Shane Boss still in the rotation. George, we will
fill you in on that joke.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, but Mayor Mayor has repeatedly mixed up tag one
time not repeating I just give you a heart. It
was one time, but the commenters were very merciless about
it was speak I bitsweedy too, so that's that's all
he's reference in there. But yes, it was not Shane
Bo's getting demoted. It was TODJ. Bradley.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah, very easy to mix those two.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
And also by the way, I corrected myself like immediately,
like he did, I made the mistake, and I think
I was afraid. I can't even remember which one I
actually wanted to talk about. But Warren was like at
that picture's last start and he's like, are you sure
he just had a dud of a start, And I
was like, am I thinking of Shane Baz? I'm thinking
of Shane Baz? And YouTube comments are still ripped me

(04:21):
apart for it, so as they want not bitter. I
definitely don't think about it every day. And then this
one I thought was interesting because Max Freed is struggling
a little bit lately, and he's also been dealing with
a blister, and now it also seems like he has
another cut on his hand, so his hand is just
kind of falling apart on him right now, which is
really important for you and you're a starting picture in

(04:42):
the big leagues, and I know we talked to whether
it was the last week the week before with Freed
and the blisters. Those are the kind of things for
pictures that like don't really seem like a big deal,
but they can like derail a season if they just
linger like that. And then the other thing I was
potentially wanted to talk about was Jeff Passon's MLB trade
deadline preview and some of the moves he predicted that

(05:03):
might happen.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I want to kind of loop together the trade deadline
stuff with Passon's preview, and then also some of these
pictures we mentioned, like Joe Ryan and Dylan Cees George.
When you look at some of these, like Dylan Sees,
I think in particular is a really interesting case because
a lot of the underlying metrics are kind of continue
to say like there's you know, Roofer bounce back here,
a lot of his expected numbers are stronger than what
is Era actually looks like. Obviously, you know you're getting

(05:25):
strikeouts to cease, but this is like kind of two
of the last three years with an Era sitting in
the mid fours, and you know, hasn't looked anything like
he did, you know, a few years ago, when he
was like a true fantasy ace. And the Padres are
a good team that are going to win games. So
if he gets traded, do you think it's likely to
hurt or help his fantasy value? And he's somebody that
you would be interested in trading for in a fantasy league.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
So this stuff's always pretty contact dependent based on the
landing spot. You know, obviously they're not going to trade
him somewhere like the Dodgers, where he'd have a lot
more potential to win games. It feels like the rest
of the NLS has falling out of contention there. So yeah,
I think I always take a wait and see approach
of these types of moves because it's going to depend
where he lands, and oftentimes when you have guys changing leagues,

(06:09):
there's a little bit of an adjustment period. They're facing
a bunch of guys they've never faced before. You don't
have the book on certain hitters, so there's usually a
little bit of an adjustment period as they acclimate to
a new setting, a new league. So those are the
type of things i'd consider. I think like Edward Cabrera
to me is the really interesting name because of the
progress he's made this season. I think he's a guy
where I think could take a leap if he gets

(06:30):
into a better situation. Cease is kind of just one
of those guys. I think he is what he is
at this point, and like you said, a lot of
the underlying metrics from like a FIP standpoint suggests he's
been a little bit unlucky this year. The strikeouts have
still been there, so yeah, interesting to see where he lands.
And I try not to change my opinion too much
on guys who are pretty established, veteran guys with a

(06:50):
couple of years of track record for.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Till and Cease mayor is that somebody for you in
fantasy that you're considering, or is there are you approaching
this potential trade deadline with a guy like sees in
mind who I think you can make the case for
as an interesting trade target even aside from this trade chatter,
but it also has this other factor going on well.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
I unfortunately was very high on Dillancy's coming into the season,
so I already have a bunch of dillancies podcast and
it hasn't been going great in some of my leagues.
So maybe for me, if he gets trades at the
right spot, it could be a great sell high opportunity
for me heading into our fantasy deadline. I was just
trying to think while George was talking about the context
and like where I would be like mostly interested in him,
and he if he.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Like where he like where he landed, that I would
be the most interested in him.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
And I was thinking maybe the Houston Astros, like maybe
one of these organizations that is known for kind of
getting the most out of pictures. I don't know that
he's like the perfect fit there, but just kind of,
you know, one of those organizations that we've we've seen
like can make small tweaks to pictures and just like
unlock a new level.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Not that he's like a young.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Pitcher, but he does kind of like he has great stuff.
He just all he's all over the place.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
The Mets are another one where I'd be fascionate and
see what they could do if they put him in
the lab there with with Jeremy Heffner, their pitching coach.
Saint Louis is interesting because it feels like a lot
of guys go into that environment and have success. So
I know they need starting pitching. They just designated air
Fidi for assignment, so they have a big hole there
in the rotation. I don't Michael McGreevy, they're going to
give them a shot, but they could always upgrade there. So,

(08:18):
like Saint Louis would be fascinating to me, the Mets
teams like that would be the ones I'd be interested in.
The Yankees, it's tough with the ballpark context, like that's
a tough spot to go into in the entire al
East too. It's just tough.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, Mayor are there any other names in the I
didn't actually read through because he sent the article kind
of last second, but not to three under the Bus.
But any any other names in the article from Jeff
Passen that stand out that you had wanted to hit
on specifically. I was reading through quickly. I was looking
at the Orioles just for my own interest, and it
was he was mentioned that their best asset is Felix Batista,

(08:51):
and I was like, well, maybe not anymore with him
going on the IL this morning. So that's that's a bummer.
But but did anybody stand out for you, mayor that
you had wanted to hit on.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Not necessarily that I wanted to hit on some of
the bigger names though Darren Duran was in there, your boy,
Cedric Bowens was in there obviously, cease I was trying
to think of some of the landing spots. Johanno Suarez
is an interesting one because it seems like, you know,
he's a perfect fit for someone like, you know, like
a team like the Yankees. He's already he's kind of
like in that sea smolder, like he is what he

(09:20):
is is not He's not going to change a whole lot.
Mackenzie Gordon the Cubs was an interesting one. I don't
know if I see that happening, but the idea of
him going to the Cubs could be, you know, interesting
as long as the wind is blowing in when he's
pitching and not blowing out.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
And then Mitch Keller, you know, some of these there
are like it seems like the controllable pitching like Joe
Ryan is going to be really expensive. But maybe someone
like you know, like a Mitch Keller and and like
and like a Seth Lugo. Those could be really interesting
pitchers for fantasy if they go to better teams. Passing

(09:55):
has Keller going to the Blue Jays, which I thought
was interesting.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'll give you.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
One can work are then that's gonna trade Gore. I
I don't think so, but I was gonna say, why
that's an interesting one house, Like I wouldn't have thought that.
Where were you going to go with at George.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
I think Merrill Kelly's interesting because I don't think it's
going to take a lot to pry him out of Arizona.
They just got swept by the Astros. They're kind of
out of it. They're looking to pivot. It'll be a
free agent at the end of the year. Like if
he could go somewhere like like Boston or New York, Like,
I think that'd be interesting because he's he's just a solid,
he's kind of underrated for fantasy. I think he can

(10:32):
go in get a bunch of wins over the final
two months and be one of those guys. It's not
gonna be a flashy acquisition, but I think would make
a difference on a contender. And I don't think he's
gonna cost anything remotely close to what you get for
like a Joe Ryan, So like he's a guy I'm
watching to see where he ends up because I think
he could be interesting.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Do you have like one team player fit George that
you would most want to see if you could just
like pick and choose.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Probably Edward Cabrera to the Dodgers. I think that would
be fascinating because they would try to get the most
that could out of him, and they've been like floating
this weird Dustin may rumor like he's available and they
just do you trust like Tyler Glasstau and Blake Snell
to be ready to go in a playoff series? Is

(11:16):
though Tony really going to pitch five innings in a
playoff game? Like, I just don't know. I think they
could use another starter, And if you're gonna go big,
they have a bunch of outfield prospects they could move
guys who I've been ranking a rote A world for
the last few months and last few years. I think
that's a that's an interesting fit for me just because
of the talent, and I think they could maximize what

(11:36):
they get out of him. There.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
By the way, just with the trade deadline, you know,
next week, I just want to everybody know that Mayor
and I you might our show might get released a
little bit later next week because we're gonna tape a
day later to kind of account for seeing all these moves.
We'd rather react to them than you know, be kind
of seeing what happens on the day of and everything
like that, So you might see the show a little
bit later next week. Just heads up for everybody, we
will still be doing a show just a day late.

(11:59):

(12:23):
let's get into this Dynasty midseason update. I was actually
messaging you just for my own trade. I was like
getting your opinion on something, and and it's actually a
trade that I had talked about on the show last
week with Mayor as well, and you agreed with Mayor,
and I did end up making the trade. So for
everybody who was wondering from last week when we talked

(12:44):
about it, I did acquire a seventy five dollars Ronal
Lacuna in a win now move here, so we'll see
how it pans out. We had some other very interesting
trades going on.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
I say, we have to talk about that other trade.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
So there was This league has been going on. I
think this is year six. I want to say maybe
year seven. It's been around for over half a decade,
and we have always had George Mayer's new to the league.
I've been in the league from the beginning, but we
have always had a no there's no vetos any trades. Fine,
you're all adult, you can make the moves you want.

(13:18):
And we had a few days ago the best team
in the league, whose team is like completely loaded. They
have like a very cheap Pete grah Armstrong, a cheap
Cormin Carroll, an affordable Aaron Judge. They have like Mookie
and Freddy Free, they have like a one dollar Schooble,
a two dollars Hunter Brown, like their teams loaded. They've
done a great job of building the team they traded

(13:40):
with the last place team who has one good player
and is absolutely terrible and doesn't respond to anybody else's
trade offers or anything traded Luis Hill, who obviously has
pitched one season in the last three years, and Stephen Kwan,
who's like eleven bucks or something for a twenty six
dollars Fernando Tatist Junior and the league got pretty up

(14:02):
in arms about it, and there was a lot of like, listen,
I know we don't veto, but are we really letting
the stad Can the guy who traded away Tatus explain
his position? And like, like, I don't know what he
could say that would make us be okay with it,
but can he at least explain it? And it caused
a very, very huge fight. All espeare some of the details,
but it was the most messages that have ever sent

(14:24):
in our league's chat function, and it did end up
getting reversed. It's the only time we've ever done that
in that league, and the idea that may Or and
I were talking about kind of on the side is like,
this isn't just like, oh, he didn't spend enough to
get a rental. This is going to impact the league
for years to come, just giving away Tatis for essentially nothing,
and it's coming from a manager who's probably going to

(14:44):
be out of like it seems like he's going to
quit the league anyway, and it's just like getting rid
of him on the way out. So we were all pretty,
like I said, up in arms about it. What do
you think would you hear that trade?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Again?

Speaker 1 (14:55):
It was Luis Hill and Stephen Kwan for a very
affordable guy who would go for twice as much if
he was available in a salary gap, the Fernando Tatis.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
So that's the challenge with Dynas Siegs RCE. You're dealing
with different gaps in information, attentiveness, strategy. I am opposed
to vetoing any trade just because I think as long
as someone believes that it's in the best interests of
their team, I don't think we should be delving into

(15:26):
their methodology whatever. I think they can do whatever they
want with their roster as long as there's no evidence
of anything from a collusion standpoint, anything of that nature,
and it doesn't sound like these two teams are working
together there was anything like that. I think it's a yeah,
I probably would not have done that trade. But I
just think we should let people make their own decisions,
and I believe in just an open process of staying

(15:50):
out of things. I've become very strong in this belief
just because I think it gets tough because where do
you draw the line? I think that's it's a slippery
slope for me not to make this like a political
argument or anything, but I view it as like, where
do you draw the line between what's an acceptable trade?
Where I might have an objection based on it, it's
going to hurt my team that you're helping this other
team in their contention cycle. So I just think if

(16:14):
it's a bad trade and they're going to stay in
the league, they will learn from that experience very quickly
not to do that in the future.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
So one of the things, well, first of all, Mayor
asked me before the show. He was like, should we
ask George about this trade because it was such a
big deal, And I was like, I'm afraid he's going
to say we shouldn't have vitoed it, and then of
course that's what you did. Philosophically, I generally agree, like
I don't think every trade needs to be fair. There
was a trade last season that everybody was really mad
about that did not get reversed that I was on
the side of guys just let this happen. It was like,

(16:41):
this was like a year ago, is Jackson Holliday and
Assie Albi's for like a very expensive Mookie, a very
expensive lad Guerrero and a cheap Chris Sale And everybody
was like, you're just giving up a prospect who struggled
and a second baseman who's hurt, and you're getting all
these guys. But it's like, yeah, they're like that's your choice, though,
like these are really expensive guys. If you want to
keep him sale, you know, who knows if his arm's going.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
To stay on.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Like I didn't agree with the trade, but I was like,
it's fine to make that. Teams are allowed to do
what they want. This one was like, boy, I fighters
really struggle to justify this one, and the guy he
eventually did, like over twenty four hours later, finally like
come out and say why he'd done the trade, and
he was like, well, Tatisse was like really expensive, so
I wasn't going to keep him anyway. We were like,

(17:24):
he would go for a sixty in a if you
throw him back, and you're he's twenty six dollars, what
do you mean he's expensive?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
So yes, the logic's not right there. But the other
thing I'll say is I don't want to absolve the
the It was a first place contending team going for
the championship. I don't want to absolve them completely too,
because if you are in the process of potentially making
a trade like that and you know how it looks,
I might float this out to other people in the league, like, hey,

(17:54):
I'm I'm you know, close to finalizing a deal. As
Jeff Passon would say, this is gonna ruffle some feathers.
You know what do you guys think? I would always
be a little bit cognizant of that, because your relationship
with your league mates, and this is kind of maybe
the overall broader point of this, your relationship with your
trading partners, your league mates in a dynasty league is

(18:16):
more important than anything else. So you have to understand
you're gonna do this type of move, you're probably burning
bridges with everybody else in the league, and that's gonna
hurt your ability to make moves in the future. So
just be cognizant of that when you're on both ends
of the spectrum, whether you're trying to compete and pushing
the chips to set on the table or you're rebuilding,
because whatever moves you make, people are gonna remember, hey,
he did that or she did that five years ago,

(18:37):
and I'm not gonna forget about it. So just be
mindful of that whenever you're making trades.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
This manager did quite the opposite.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
He was gonna say he could have used that advice.
He ended up crashing out in epic fashion and actually
left the league after this happened. But he did it
in a I'm gonna burn bridges on the way out
kind of a way. It was like a I get
his frustration of like, hey, I made this trade, why
doesn't it stand? But he was like he did not

(19:05):
take that approach with it, which is this right. I
think that's a good piece of advice though for anybody
in general in trading, is to keep the other managers
in mind in that regard. The last thing I'll say
about it before we move on to your your rankings
is I had offered uh Francisco Lindor for tattoos and
not even gotten a response. So it was extra frustrated

(19:25):
for me to be like, you didn't give me a response,
but now you're accepting hill and and Kwan instead, Like
that was tough for me.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Speaking of Georgia's rankings as we transition, do you do
you want to well, actually, I'll ask you, George, do
you know we're right off the top of your head
where you have Louise Heal ranked in your dynasty rankings.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I want to say it's around two hundreds. Let me
pull it up deeper than that, is it?

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Let me say.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
I have it?

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Want me to tell you.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Growing.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
I think he was one fifty at the start of
the year.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, two ninety five and tattis shockingly is in the
top ten.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
So part part of that health concerns though, as we
saw play out where he's missed five months at the
start of the year basically, so for sure, pictures, it's
they're volatile. I don't know, it's so.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Let's let's get into the rankings. Then from that perspective
when you're when you're doing this, how much are you
considering the volatility of pictures, not just in terms of
volatility even when healthy, but specifically when it comes to
health you have you have trigged. Schooble is obviously third.
He's amazing, right, like everybody would be happy to have
him in Dynasty, but he's ahead of hitters like La

(20:44):
Da La Cruz, Ronald Cooney Junior has his own injury stuff,
Aaron Judge. Are the three guys right after him in
your rankings? Does the fact that Schooble is a pitcher,
were you ranking him inside the top three?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
So I resisted pushing Schooble and Schemes into my top
five range just because of the volatility pitchers. That's always
been a thing I would always prefer as a central
kind of roster building philosophy to center my build around
hitters under twenty five. That's kind of what I'm looking at. Obviously,

(21:15):
if you're in a startup, you can go first couple
of rounds, take best player available. There's not a huge
gap there unless you're talking about like a Freddie Freeman
type in the early stages of a draft. But I
want to prioritize getting hitters under twenty five. That's how
I would view things, just because with pictures you never
really know what you're going to get. And part of
that's because like a Jacob Mizerowski is a great example

(21:38):
where he's a guy who was probably a top fifty
range dynasty prospect coming into the year because of the
control issues they were committed developing as a starter, and
then the command takes a leap and all of a sudden,
he looks like a potential top fifteen starting pitcher for
fantasy purposes. So that's the type of thing where you
can kind of find and identify those guys a little

(22:00):
bit later on, whereas I don't know that you need
to be investing early on in those elite, upper echelon guys.
But I will say for Scoogl and Schiens, the reason
they're ranked that highly is because the gap between them
and the rest of the starting pitching pool is pretty
immense at this point, even with those injury concerns baked in.
You look at guys who we thought were relatively safe,
like Logan Gilbert, people like that, who were Corbyn Burns,

(22:21):
guys who had been pretty durable they've missed time this
year due to injuries, so no one's really safe or reliable.
But when you look at those two guys, I think
they're pretty much head and shoulders above the rest of
the starting pitching crop at this point.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
How do you weigh a breakout season when you're looking
at dynasty do you try to give credit and say,
this is an elevation of this player's skill set and
game and the production we can expect going forward. I
look at a guy like Cal Rowley, who mayor actually
has in that dynastague we were just talking about. He's
fortieth on the list right here. He's been insanely good

(22:57):
this season. Right Obviously he's had power and stuff in
the past, but you know, thirty nine homers already, you know,
won the home run Derby at a position like catcher
where you're just not getting that kind of production, So
forty on the one hand, might seem kind of low.
But on the other hand, you know he's a catcher,
so like that, you know, will be a little more
wear and tear on the body. It's also kind of
a later breakout, at least a breakout to this level.

(23:18):
So how do you kind of square those two things
when you're breaking a guy like Raley.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
So when I open my spreadsheet and I sit down,
I go, okay, let's start this process. I go in
with the premise that I don't know anything. These rankings
are a snapshot in time. You're going to be wrong
all the time. So what you're trying to do is
balance all those variables. And catchers are weird, first of all,
Like their aging curves are weird, their development tracks are weird,

(23:45):
like Gary Sanchez had like ten five rights on prospect
lists forever, like he was a prospect forever then finally
got here and he's still around. So catchers because of
all the things they have to manage, like their breakouts
are weird. And for Raleigh, I just look at this
as like an tension of a guy we kind of
knew was a pretty much borderline elite power hitter for
his position, And this feels to me like a career

(24:07):
kind of outlier year where I don't want to overreact
to the point that I'm pushing him, like into the
top ten of these rankings or anything like that. He
would not be a first round pick if we did
a startup dynasty next spring. But you have to also
weigh that the production he's given you in the present
is probably an early round contributor. So that's someone I
want to value in that top forty to fifty range.

(24:29):
I just you can't overlook what he's doing. It's undeniable,
But I tried to view it where A good example
of this is like Lawrence Butler when he's kind of
made the leap in the second half of last year.
You look at him and say, Okay, I think this
is a legitimate skills growth. I think what he's doing
is real. I'm going to be aggressive and pushing him higher,
whereas someone like a Nolan Jones it was maybe more

(24:51):
context dependent because he was doing this in coors Field.
So I try to balance that a little bit more
when I look at the environment and what actually changed
with a hitter. Did they make adjustments where their real improvements?
Can I find evidence that what they're doing is real?
Those are the things I kind of look for. Then
I'm weighing when I do these lists.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Mayor, how do you feel about the fact that your
best player is only fortieth on his rankings?

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Well, it's funny to say that because I was pulling
up my dynasty rankings and I haven't even lower, so
I feel pretty good if George likes him more than
I do, so I might have to bump them up
because I have him in the fifties, so if I
could piggyback on that out, I was going to ask
you about a few specific players, so I'll rather than
go one by one, I'll just throw a few at you.

(25:34):
One of the more interesting ones I noticed was Cam
Smith at sixty eight. He's having a really interesting year obviously,
you know, really young prospect, came up struggled, but has
been quietly very good for a while now. Your Don
Alvarez at twenty is also very interesting to me, with
the age and health concerns there. I looked at my
rankings and I don't have a much lower than you,
so but it did jump out to me. And then
the last one is why do you hate Roman Anthony

(25:55):
at thirty two.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I don't know that I hate Real and Anthony. I'll
start with Cam Smith. First of all, I'm like a
sort of Red Sox fan, so I take that personally.
I like, but I don't know Cam Smith. I think
he's illustrative of the fact that the gap between Triple
A and the majors is maybe wider than ever. You know,

(26:19):
he's one of five guys from the twenty twenty four
draft class that have reached the majors. You know, Ryan
Johnson with the asterisks is like the fifth guy. But
what you're seeing is the timeline between when a guy
gets drafted and when they reach the majors, especially for
college hitters in college pitchers, it's getting compressed to the
point that the development time's not what it probably was
a few years ago. So these guys are kind of

(26:40):
learning on the fly, so to speak, at the big
league level, like they're facing that caliber of pitching for
really the first time. I just like, I don't think
the quality that you're seeing of pitching in Triple A
is great and that's that that matters, because you get
guys coming up facing stuff they've never really faced before,
and they got to adjust the league adjust to them.
It's constant battle and likes. There's countless examples of guys

(27:03):
who've struggled at the outside of their careers, like Alex
Bregman's the example I always kind of go back to.
He was like one for forty or something like that
to start his career obviously he was fine, So just
always be a little bit like wary of overreacting to early,
small sample sized stuff, especially with a guy like Cam Smith.
I was pretty aggressive pushing him in the in the
preseason update to these rankings, and I feel like it's

(27:26):
kind of been justified in terms of like what we
were seeing from like a scouting standpoint has showed up
on the field the last couple of weeks. So yeah,
I think the other NW you mentioned, Jordan Alvarez, Yeah,
he's another one where it's just really tough because I
think I always trying to think of other examples of
these types of situations. That's what I've been doing throughout
the show today. But like Kyle Tucker missed a ton

(27:48):
of time last year with a weird like knee Brews
that was revealed was a hairline fracture. Once again, it's
the Astros. So is that an Astros thing? Maybe? But
I I just think they're at the point like they're
not going to push him, They're not going to risk
any sort of setbacks, like they can't do that with
a guy who's basically one of their franchise cornerstones. So

(28:09):
we looked at Kyle Tucker's example, like he came back
and was fine this the following season. So I don't
want to overreact with a guy with that kind of
established elite track record. Now he's maybe a more challenging
example because of just the profile, like a bigger guy
where maybe this is a hand issue. Does that impact
the swing the power? Maybe, But I also don't want

(28:32):
to push him into the back half of the top
fifty and then he goes out and hits forty home
runs next year. Yeah, because I overreacted to a hairline fracture.
So those are the types of things that I think
are challenging the WAGH when you do these rankings, and
you might be wrong, but I always want to kind
of give a little bit of difference to guys with
a track record with the rankings.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Yeah, I agree, you're done.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Alvarez as difficult to rank because I was looking at Ears,
I was like, wow, twenty seems high.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Where do I have him?

Speaker 3 (28:57):
And I have him at twenty four, so I'm pretty
high too, And then I was like, where do I
want to move him down? But like, where do I
move him down? I have Mookie bets too high. I'm
gonna have to drop him down because it's what do
you Well, I'll throw it back to you, what are
your thoughts on Mookie bats? You have him at thirty six?
But is this year the beginning of the end?

Speaker 2 (29:15):
I wouldn't say the end. I think it's maybe the
end of like the elite stolen base production, Like that's
that's what I kind of look at as on the decline.
He's obviously he's going to miss time on Friday I
with a personal issue, So maybe there's stuff going on
off the field that's been impacting him. They've kind of
tried to move him around in the lineup. They've been
batting him lead off the last couple of games until

(29:35):
they get Max Monsey back and then we'll see how
things shake out there.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
So yeah, and that's a really weird start to the
season where he lost a ton of weight and people
were really concerned about what he what he was going
to look like to start the season.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
So again this goes back to like the Kyle Tucker
like weird outlier like Ronald Lukunya missed seasons with injuries.
Like when you have a guy who's that talented, I
never want to just dismiss the possibility that they can
take some time off and come back and get things
right and be back in order. Like Corey Seeker is
a good exit, Like he misses time all the time
with injuries, and then he comes back and he looks

(30:09):
like the best hitter on the planet sometimes. So yeah,
just guys with that type of extended track record, I'm
very hesitant to bump them lower. But when you start
to creep into the mid thirties, it can it can
start to look like a roller coaster where the decline
is pretty precipitous and it comes quick. So just be

(30:31):
aware of that with any guy in their thirties.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Sorry, I'm over here distracted because Stephen Kwan has two
home runs today and I'm like, maybe we should have
let the trade go through, all right, All yeah, I
wanted to ask you, George, were there any names that
really surprised you when putting this together? Like you kind
of got to the end of you go, this is
the right place. I'm not going to move him, But
I can't believe I have this guy as low as

(30:54):
I do, or this guy as high as I do.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
So Michael Harris to me stands out as the name.
I can't figure out what the heck to do with
because from from like a scouting standpoint, if I told
you there was a guy who was only twenty four
and he had the type of production that he had
had earlier in his career at the big league level,
you'd say, this guy is like a top twenty player
in the league. Like he'd had basically three straight seasons

(31:18):
of close to twenty homers and twenty steals with borderline
elite batting averages. Most of that time, you'd say that
guy is like a first round pick, and he's just
not this year. This year's kind of been a weird disaster,
kind of outlier. And I again, that's one where I'll
circle and I'll go to try and find an explanation,
because there's something will come out in reporting. You know,

(31:42):
was it mechanical, wasn't mental? Was it physical? We don't know,
So we'll see he's the one who stands out for
me on the hitter side. And from a pitching standpoint,
I think Andrew Painter is exceptionally tough to rank because
he had all the time off due to injury. He's

(32:03):
come back, the stuff hasn't totally been top of the
rotation at the Triple A level, the production certainly hasn't
been But do you really ever want to write off
a guy who the entire industry said was basically like
a generational type of pitching prospect who could have been
in the majors. It's like a nineteen twenty year old No,
So he to me is really tough to forecast because

(32:25):
I don't want to drop him too far, and then
he goes out and pitches well in the majors and
I have to reconfigure everything. So he's one who stands
out to me from that standpoint, from a prospect side,
And then, like Spencer Jones is the obvious name, like
you if you believe the approach can work, like if
he can be like better Joey Gallo with the straightouts, Sure,

(32:48):
but there's just not a lot of evidence historically speaking,
to show a guy coming up and striking out like
over thirty percent of the time and being a really
productive power hitter in the majors, So proceed with caution.
He's got a three homer game today as we record this,
so he's been on an absolute heater, but the plate
skills again once he gets to the big leagues and
he's facing better competition, Like, I don't know that the

(33:10):
profile is going to work. He's just not going to
make enough contact.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I want to ask you kind of one last question
on the Dynasty stuff as we transition into the last
segment of the show, which is kind of the second
half strategy guide. Do you find yourself using the Dynasty
update and rankings in redraft decisions, Like, if you're moving
a guy up in Dynasty, are you more likely to say,
you know, I think we're going to see some real

(33:33):
value added between now and the end of the year,
So this is a guy I want to trade for
for that playoff stretch run in my fantas league for
this season. Do you use the Dynasty rankings in that way?

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Yeah. I always kind of look for those guys where
I was maybe higher on them than the rest of
the crowd, and then maybe now they're producing in the
majors and you know, maybe there's a little bit of
a disconnect between what the public perception of their value
is and what I feel it is. And I think
that's a good process, you know, kind of a theme
that that fantasy managers should be using. Like when I

(34:05):
look at you know, excuse me. When I go through,
uh sort of my rankings, I use my colleague Matthew Pooley.
I use a lot of his top three hundred. He
does a top three hundred. He pretty much updates it
every week. So I try to go through there and see,
like where am I missing on guys and their present

(34:26):
value as opposed to like the future long term, because
I try to use like a three year window when
putting these rankings together, so the production right now matters
a lot more than what you're going to get in
three years from a guy. So I think that's a
big part of my process, is incorporating a guy's present
value and what he means right at the moment. Like
cal Raley's a good example of that, where it's like, Okay, yeah,

(34:47):
probably need to push him a lot higher because of
the impact he's making right now where he's basically the
number one player in fantasy. Uh. So you try to
weigh that and not overreact too much with it. But
it's definitely part of the process.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
I think for me, I actually want to really quick
you have to do a more thing on the on
the dynast decide because you mentioned a three year window,
how do you incorporate the guys who were just drafted
into this so we haven't seen play professionally yet, and
you can keep this quick because obviously these are guys
that are a couple of years away, but like what
is your process for including them in these rankings?

Speaker 2 (35:14):
So situation, age, proximity, those are the three biggest things
I look at, And obviously like Ethan Holliday is a
good sort of jumping off point for that because he
maybe isn't going to be the first one to reach
the majors, It's probably going to be at least a
couple of years. But the context of a hitter with
his type of power profile in Colorado that matters. That's

(35:36):
why he's the number one guy in my rankings. Like
I try to view things from a historical perspective and
looking at recent draft classes, having done this a couple
of years, it's like, Okay, who does this situation in
talent remind me of like Connor Griffin what a year ago,
really highly thought of prospect and then he didn't play

(35:58):
after he got drafted, so we didn't basically see him
on a field till spring training. And now I think
he's pretty much universally regarded as one of the top
three prospects in baseball from a dynasty standpoint, so that matters.
Like I'm just not writing a guy off completely because
he's eighteen in a shortstop, like I try to look
at the situation and the talent. And I've also tried

(36:20):
to be a little more aggressive with the college pitchers
like Jamie Arnold's a good example of this from the
current draft class, where you know, I want to push
him a little bit higher. Some of the other pictures
as well, you know, because they're probably going to reach
the majors within a year. To Kate Anderson, I think

(36:40):
for the Mariners probably get to be the majors at
some point in twenty twenty six. So those are the
things I'm trying to balance a little bit more. Is
just like being aware that some of these guys might
get to the big leagues a lot faster than we thought.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
All right, let's get into kind of your back half,
you know, end of the year's strategy guide, And I
promise I'll let Mayor talk again at some point, but
I want to kind of I want this to be
very flexible, right, Like I think this can go in
a number of different directions, and I want to know
what is important to you, and I will give mere credit.
Actually this is kind of his idea for a part
of this discussion. But I want to know, like when

(37:14):
you sit down and say, Okay, we're at the end
of July, I'm trying to you know, make the playoffs
and head to head league. I'm trying to make that
final push in a roto league. Whatever it is, what
do you care about? What are you paying attention to?
Is it specific players, is it overall league trends, is
it anything else? Is it a certain stat that you
try to keep an eye on? What is it that you,

(37:35):
George sit down and go this is And it's a
time of year where we know a lot of people
are splitting their focus between baseball and football. It's a
time of year where the grind of the season can
wear on you. They call them the dog days of
August for a reason. So if you could kind of
owne in on a couple of key pieces to pay
attention to, what is that for you?

Speaker 2 (37:57):
So part of my responsibilities with rot World is doing
player news five days a week, So I am constantly
looking at lineups, injuries, I've kind of referred to this
as like vibes is basically how I kind of view it,
Like who's producing and why? Like is it the competition

(38:20):
they're facing here? Like a good I've use a good
example a bunch of times, the Red Sox they go
on that big ten game winning streak. Was that the
Red Sox or was that the competition? You know, I
was impressive what they did against the race to close
out the first half, but you know they beat up
on the Nationals, the Rockies, and then you look at
strength the schedule in the second half. So I tried
to look at each situation like individually, and I try

(38:41):
to look at the schedule, the lineup like is there
a reason this guy has been moved up in the lineup?
Is there a reason he's producing at this type of level,
So especially with younger players, because that's where I think
you can see the biggest jumps in value is all
of a sudden they're in a prominent lineup spot. Like
if a Jack kagal Noon got hot like and started
going on a power surge, you know that matters. So

(39:03):
you want to be quick to adjusting to that. Is
there going to be a change in a closing situation,
who's struggling right now, who's hurt. So just staying up
to date on information, I think you can kind of
get a sense of which player's values are changing the most,
Like Mookie Betts is a good example. Like Mike brought up.

(39:24):
You know, if you're not plugged in, you're probably not
going to notice that he's been batting like one eighty
for a month, and you might trade for him thinking
he's gonna come back and be really productive, but there's
not a lot of evidence or signs that, like mentally,
he's at the point that's going to happen for him
right now. So those are things to watch for. I
think it's very specific. I try to go like each

(39:45):
individual player and just kind of figure out what the
vibes are and then try to figure out what future
outlook is for them, because if you start looking at
leaderboards and all these different factors, you're gonna end up
like Zach Alfanakis with the numbers going around your head,
like you're just going to drown in information because you're
just going to be able to find something to back
up whatever your premise is. So just kind of hone

(40:08):
in on the player and try to figure it out
on your own would be the best advice I can
give you, because at the end of the day, it's
your roster, your decisions, So I want to be comfortable
with my assessment and trust my own judgment on those calls.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
So mayor you mayor I want to ask you actually
about the news side of this too, and you can
jump in a second also, But because you oversee our
news desk here, so you are also kind of drowning
in a lot of information. How do you sort through
the noise?

Speaker 4 (40:32):
I don't. I just I just hate all the noise
and I hate my life now.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
I think you just have to, like, like you said,
your your attention is starting to get split, Like you
know you're going to be abandoning the show pretty soon
to go focus on football and leave me to do
it by myself.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
But you know, as is required of me by the
management here, not something I'm pouting the table to do.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
This is why when training camp opens, you're gone.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
This is why people think we don't like each other,
which is another thing that comes up in the comments
pretty frequently. They think that Whorrem and I like actively
dislike each other.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
And they're just again you keep using this word to
think more like they notice.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
It doesn't help because Worm makes that joke every week.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
What was the question?

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Let stopped listening about about the news and just kind
of you know how there is so much news out
there right like that it is easy to drown it
and kind of how you sort through it?

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Yeah, I think, sorry, I think that.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
I think the one thing George mentioned was big is
paying attention to lineups and more importantly, why players are
moving up in the lineup. Like you mentioned Mooki Bets
moving into the leadoff spot. I didn't actually didn't know that.
I just know that it's been a down year for
all the teams that where I roster Mooki Bets. But yeah,
I think it's it's knowing like which which information to
pay attention to. There's a lot of just like one

(41:52):
off lineup trends. But you know, if if a guy
is just like you know, kind of like batting six
or seventh, and now he's like every few days he's
beat adding first or second, and then you realize, oh,
whenever they face a lefty he moves up in the order.
That could be really valuable information when like setting your lineups,
whether it's you know, setting your line up for the week,
or like they got four lefties this week and you
know this fringe roster player for me is going to

(42:14):
be batting second most of the week.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
So it's kind of like.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Filtering through what's the important news, which is the easy answer,
I cheated.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
It's basically figuring out what's actionable and what's not. Like
this picture is this picture? Have they made an adjustment
and now they're in a point where they're going to
have sustained success or like you said, why they've moved
up in the lineup is this prospect, you know, playing
themselves into a more prominent role. And once like like
if Kobe Mayo goes on a hot streak and then
all of a sudden, Ryan o'haran gets straight at the deadline,

(42:45):
all of a sudden, he's playing every day, whereas he
had started four games in the last month. So those
are the types of things you want to know about,
you know, and stay ahead of, because then you're going
to be first to react when when the moment comes
to make a move.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
What what stats, George, at this point in the year
do you care about if you're specifically in the context
of identifying a guy you want to pick off off
waivers or even a guy that is roster everywhere that
you want to trade for. Is it something as simple
as like, oh, I just want to look at who's
got the big differences between their era and they're expected

(43:20):
you know, underlying information. Is it I want to look
for guys who like their actual like pitch usage has
made significant changes this year, and we're deep, well, you know,
way more than deep enough into the season to care
about that. On the hitter side, is it like I
want to look at stat cast and see who has
the highest average exit velocity. Like if there's one or
two metrics that again, at this point in the year,

(43:42):
when you're looking for good kind of by low targets
or even a buy high target, what are you looking
at to say like this is legitimate or this is
something that I think is going to change for the
better moving forward.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
So that's a really great question because a lot of
these metrics, they're more useful from like a full season
context as opposed to isolating them into really small samples.
So like the difference between er and PIP like that
might show up over the course of six months, but
it's not really actionable in a smaller sample. And there's
a lot of like with the newer stackast metrics, like

(44:15):
I'm not smart enough to tell you what I'm looking
at sometimes, not that I don't understand what the stat means,
but I don't know how to how to make it actionable.
Like when we first started getting bad at ball metrics,
we had to figure out like how many bad at
ball events before this becomes like a reliable indicator, And
then it was okay, we've run the data. It's like
forty bad at ball events. Now we can draw conclusion

(44:35):
it's like one guy. So that's the type of stuff
I want to look at over a period of time,
like is a guy making harder contact? I think swing
speed has proven to be one of these metrics that
we can look at and say, Okay, maybe there's a
physical issue with a guy because all of a sudden,
he's not swinging is hard Like that, you know, is
he dealing with something that's limiting his ability to swing hard?

(44:58):
So that's something that can show up strike out minus
walk right for me is kind of the one I
go to for pictures because I think it's pretty right there,
your your strikeout rate and your walker rate kind of
don't really change a lot. It kind of is what
it is, Like, it's hard to fake that over an
extended period of time. If you have bad control, you're
gonna walk a lot of guys. It's pretty straightforward. It's

(45:19):
been proven out over time. So those to me, I
think are the most like straightforward ones I can look
at and say, okay that if I'm going to pick
up a picture, it's for that reason. So yeah, those
are the big ones that for me I look at.
And then obviously upcoming schedule matters too, like the matchups
matter a lot at this point of the year.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Yeah, the fewer games you have left, the more who
you play is going to matter.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Just to just to piggyback on that, because I thought
George made some good points there. The swing speed one
or the bad speed one is a really interesting one
because a lot of these stats they kind of, like
you said.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
They come out, we're not really sure what to do
with them. But then also as we get like.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
More and more data and and you know, we we
can then like comparing like year over year, you start
to see like what do these trends mean? And I
was actually watching a Red Sox game the other day
and they were talking about Daron Durant and how a
lot of his contact numbers are way down this year,
but his swing his bat speed is actually way up,
and it's actually they think he's swinging harder and making
less contact. So it's kind of interesting, like you think, like, oh,

(46:18):
bat speed is up, like that's all good, but he's
having a down year offensively despite a big uptick in
bat speed.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
So it's interesting. The more we learn about this stuff
and what it can mean.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
And it kind of all ties into the point like
how to figure out what matters, Like he's not playing
as much against lefties either, so he's seeing fewer pitches
and he's not being as confident, maybe getting more aggressive
in those swings against lefties too. That's leading some more
struggles there. So all this is like big context stuff
that you have to go to an on, to an

(46:49):
individual player and try to figure it all out with them.
It's not just looking at one single thing at all.
Kind of matters in context.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
May we got to get out of here. Any final
questions for George?

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Wrap up?

Speaker 1 (47:01):
No, this has been great, George, thanks for Thanks for
Avada and and like I said, we we always say
we want to have more guests, and then it's always
a great time when we do. And I don't know
why we don't do it more so, appreciate you talking
about all your Dynasty rankings and the second half strategy.
I got any party thoughts before we get out of here, Not.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Really, I will say that everyone should check out my
Dynasty rankings. Over a rotal world, I definitely would want
to come back arm with you guys in the offseason
kind of reset things because the prospect landscape is going
to change a lot in the next couple of weeks.
Like there's a bunch of names I'm kind of watching
in the second half, like where is like Edward Florentino

(47:41):
going to finish Esteban Mahia for the Orioles throws like
one hundred and three and he's got my collar stuff,
Like that's the guy where I was like, Okay, how
high can I push him in my rankings and still
not look crazy?

Speaker 4 (47:54):
So I have one.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
I do have one actual final question. We can get
out of here when it's spend a lot of time
on this. But you did remind me of you, did
you think when when looking at like dynasty rankings and
look at looking at this like this recent draft class,
did you think of it as kind of like a
down year for prospects or was twenty twenty four really
just like that good of a draft class.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Well, Like twenty twenty four had a bunch of like
really polished college hitters like Nick Kurtz came out and
was like immediately the best college hitter we'd seen in
like forever, just the ability to hit for power, control
the strike zone. I could go on and on, like
I'm a big fan, but yeah, I think this was
a weird year because you had a lot of really
good prep shortstops and maybe the best picture in the

(48:39):
class is like Seth Fernandez, who's a prep arm writing,
so maybe one of the best prep writings we've had
in a long time. So it was a weird kind
of year as the way I look at it, and
I think next year's class is really interesting.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
So yeah, he's taken the top of the draft this year,
like no one really knew who was going to go
first overall, and then the first overall pick I turned
into a surprise, and everyone's like, this is not what
we projected to happen.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
This is an interesting So there's a bunch there's a
bunch of reasons, like Eli Willis went first, but you
look at the economics of the decision. And then also
he was like seventeen, So if you're forecasting a guy
at that age with his present skills and what he
could grow into, like nobody's sitting here saying he's Ken
Griffy junior, like he's gonna become like a Hall of
Fame caliber player. But we have seen a lot of
high school, you know, prep shortstops make that leap and

(49:25):
become really impactful, potentially franchise cornerstones. So yeah, just this
is the fun part of the year when you're just watching,
like how good is like Joshu Obias gonna be like
just Sinceton I see it, like you know, just what's
gonna happen. These are the fun two months of the
year for prospects to watch.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
George, this has been great. We'll get out of here
on the high note if you bring up spun Mihia,
because I'm an Orioles fan and I'm just very excited
for so that is a great note to wrap things up. Five,
we will definitely have you back on. I would love
to get you ont of the offseason and kind of
really dive into some of the more Dynasty stuff and
Mayor and I can take advance and you know, hopefully
do better in our in our Dynasty league that we're

(50:03):
both in with with the knowledge. So thank you so much. Everybody.
Definitely please do go to rote a World check it out,
you know, all of Georgia stuff, really the updates and everything.
But yeah, the the top five hundred Dynasty rankings update
was a beast. I was messaging with him a little
on the day that he was putting that together and
you could tell it's silly that you put a lot
of work into an effort and it shows, so it's great.
So yeah, thank you again for coming on for Mayor

(50:26):
and for George. Everybody go check out his stuff at
George Bissel on Twitter. I'm Ryan Warm. We'll see you
next time. Thanks for listening to the Fantasy Pros Fantasy
