Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everybody, and welcome back to on Deck podcast by
Prospects Live. We're your friends. I'm Drewnwick, Nate and Reese,
and we are here to talk about the Prospects Live
Top one hundred Prospects Update. Guys, not exactly sure when
this is dropping, Reese, you'd be the one to tell
us it's gonna be soon. But this is gonna be
a bit of a preview for the.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
List, right, Yeah, it's gonna be the preview for the
Top one hundred list.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah. Well, so the plan for the day is we're
going to talk about some different stuff. I want to
get into it. And so what better place than now?
What better time than now? And I'm boys on the corner.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
They're trying to figure you out.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Guys. Of the top five, I think that's something fair
and safe we can give away without really giving way
the whole cow here Number one prospect per Prospects Life,
Connor Griffin, Number two, Kevin Mcgonagaill coll Hi Magoo, number three,
Haysers Made, number four, JJ Weatherholt and number five Sebastian

(01:12):
Walcott Reese. Of these five, which scares you the most?
And why?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
M you know what's funny? Is They all don't scare
me for different reasons. But if one player is going
to quote bust out, it's probably gonna be Sebastian Walcott.
I do have a lot of concerns about the swing,
and miss I don't really think he's that good of
a defender. I know your boy and my boy Will
Thompson will kind of disagree on that a little bit,
and that's fine. It's part of the beauty of this

(01:41):
thing that we're doing. Is it talking about prospects. I
think there's a chance he might be like a corner
outfielder sort of type, and if then I think the
bat needs to be significantly better. But yeah, Sebastian Walcott's
the one that scares me the most.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Okay, well thank you for that. Uh Nick, come us
own question to you man. Look at it your individual list.
You had four of these rank straight one through four,
and then JJ Weatherholt at six. Is it fair to
say Weatherholt is the one that gives you the most concern.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
I don't think so. I think that just this I'm
looking at ceiling. I think the ceiling's probably just a
little bit lower for a guy like Weatherholt than a
guy like Walcott and even de Freeze, which is why
I did put those two above weather Holt. But I
think you're picking apple apples and oranges at that point.
If I'm being honest, the guy might be the most
concerned about would be Connor Griffin. I mean, we know

(02:30):
that there is some hit tool concerns, but he's really
dashed them this year. But like, what's to say he
doesn't get into the upper miners and he maybe takes
a step back. With that being said, I think Walcott's
probably right pick. I think I agree with Reesa pretty
well there, But I think I think Connor Griffin there's
still a little bit of risk involved despite him being
the number one prospect.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I think that one thing one thing looking at Connor
Griffin is he does he does struggle to recognize a
change up out of the hand. We'll get the swing
metrics and everything like that. He's swinging missing on them
about like forty ish percent. So just change ups in
general might be causing him a little bit of problems,
and he's going to be facing guys who have advanced
change ups the further he goes up. But I think

(03:08):
everything else, he's a good fastball hitter, good slider hitter,
you know, everything else sort of works, while reckon that
has spin out of the hand. I think it's just
that change up like might cause him a little bit
of problems. But honestly, like I think, as far as
Connor Griffin goes, we're talking about a tight end who
play shorts up. That's like, if I ever have to
blur about someone, he's just like, is a physical freak
in a way that I just am.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
I'm not worried about.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I think even like, even if he doesn't, like he
doesn't hit his ninetieth percentile outcome, his sixtieth percent of
outcome is still pretty high.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, pretty pretty consistently. Ability to be the top performer
in any given game at his sixtieth percent outcome res
I agree with that for sure. Guys, looking again at
the top five, and I don't want to just stick
specifically to the top five because those are guys that
many of our listeners, many of our viewers, you're gonna
know about them. But I do want to since we
talked about kind of the guy that scares you the most,

(03:59):
I'm gonna ask which of these guys is the safest
and why is it Kevin McGonagall, I.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
One hundred percent agree. It's just the most secure, hit tools,
most complete, complete, just pure hitter, right. I think the
swing is beautiful, and if we're talking about just just security,
I'm looking for a guy who can hit everything and
hit for a high average and get on base. And
there's burgeoning power in McGonagall. It's it's like the odds
of him busting feels so low to me, even if

(04:26):
he is a second basement And don't laugh, Reese, even
if he's a second baseman, he doesn't get into a
bunch of power. Ken McGonagall at ten home runs in
the big leagues is like a super valuable player.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, I think so, Reese thoughts on McGonagall.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
McGonagall is maybe the safest prospect because I just I
don't see a way in where the guy doesn't hit.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Is he maybe a superstar?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't know, But like we're talking about a guy
who is elite lift and pole metrics. The guy has
an optimized swing. He's a better shortstop, and I think
people are given credit for People think he's a flat
out and no at a shortstop. I think he's kind
of a probably not u something He's probably like a
forty five defender at short stop, but he.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Can make the plays.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's on a little bit of worrisome, but honestly, at
second base, he's gonna perform well. He's going to be
one of the best offensive second basemen, probably after his
first season or so, after he gets acclimated to the
best pitchers in the world. So yeah, I think Kevin
McGonagall is maybe the safest prospect. JJ Weatherhill's also pretty
safe too. I don't think there's a crazy ceiling with him,
but the floor is very high. I mean, the ceiling

(05:25):
is probably what some of Alex Bregman's quote like middling years,
So that's kind of what I imagine for JJ Weatherhome's
really like Jacob Wilson too, so I think part of
that goes into McGonagall factor.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
I think, well, they're definitely not the same player. It's
almost like we didn't have Wilson as high as maybe
we wanted to, despite how much we hyped him up.
And this is almost like it's not hot that McGonagall too,
but it is some some form of attribution in my eyes.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Understood, understood. Okay, let's move on off the top five,
going down a little further, and again this is a
review for the list. We're not gonna give you every
name and every ranking, So if you've got your pen
out at home, put it away and listen and enjoy
number six, Leo Davrees and guys. Before we get into
the rest of the list, I do just want to
point out the equation here, obviously, the averaging of the

(06:14):
three lists that went into this, the two of you,
and then are our buddy, our boss, Will's dad, Matt Thompson.
The three of you averaged out this list. Leo Divrees
actually has the exact same score on average as JJ
Weatherholts at Sebastian Walcott. We'll get to that in a minute, though.
Devrees at six, you have Samuel Bissaio at seven, recently
called up as of the day. We record Max Clark

(06:37):
at eight, Luis Pana at nine, Bubba Chandler at ten.
Chandler the first pitcher on the list. Let's start with
Leo Devrees. Reese. With Devrees, you and Nate actually had
him at five, Matt at six, but that does kind
of bake into the average. Again, there is a little
bit of variance with Weatherhold's rankings and then with Walcott,

(06:59):
as we said with Leo Devrees, do you think he's
at the same level as weather Holton Walcott And do
you worry that Derees may have some of that same uh?
I think your exact words were potential to bust out
as Walcott has.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I think that there's some there's definitely some very real
chance to bust out. The hit tool might be forty five.
I think he might need abandance which hitting at a
certain point. But I still I'm I'm all the way
in on this guy. That you know, with all these
prospects are the chance that they quote bust and they
don't hit their upside. But I think that with Leo
Derees it's a no doubt shortstop with plus power. Maybe
he's a little bit maddeningly inconsistent, but I think that

(07:34):
there's there's gonna be some spikes and everything, and people
are gonna, you know, he's gonna have like one of
the more extreme rolling charts on like Fangrafts. I don't
know why I did that, but so yeah, I'm just
I'm in on Leo Degrees. I've seen him a couple
of times the past season last year or so, I
don't know. Maybe I'm maybe I'm over indexing what I've seen,
but I don't know.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
I'm in on Leo DeVries.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Really, I will disagree with that. I think that you
having eyes on him, I mean, you're not gonna watch
every single game, every single back he has, but what
you have seen obviously speaks to you, and I think
that it's important to leverage that into your thoughts and
into your rankings. Nate kind of the same question really
quickly about Leo Divrees. Obviously you had him ahead of Weatherholton.
I'm sure that kind of as you alluded to, it

(08:15):
is just the upside. You think that the upside for
Direes is stronger than that of Weather.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, I think Walcott and Mavis are kind of in
that similar category to me. It's the high upside. They're
so young for where they're at in the minor leagues,
and they're performing well. It's just not the superstar numbers
that you're getting from a guy like like Connor Griffin.
And Yeah, I think just I think those three and
even Besio behind them, it's it's those four are kind
of in a tear for me. Weather whole, Walcott, Devis

(08:39):
and Besio, I think you could really go anyway on
those four, and you have a very valid argument.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I think so too, think so too. Looking again kind
of at that grouping that's seven to ten, since we
know Direse is kind of baked in, baked in with
the boys we know, as we said, Besio called up
to the major leagues, let's actually focus a little bit
more specifically all and I guess we'll go eight to twelve.
That'd be the better grouping here, just because their numbers
on average are a little bit closer. And that's gonna

(09:07):
be Clark, Luis Panya, Bubba Chandler, Colt Emerson at eleven,
and then Andrew Painter, the second pitcher on the list
at twelve. Reese, I'm gonna go to you here. Of
these five Clark, Panya, Chandler, Emerson, and Painter, you have
Painter raked the lowist at sixteen on your individual list.
Does that mean that you think he has the I guess,

(09:28):
the most bust out potential. If we're gonna continue using your.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Phrase, no, we got to come up with a different phrase.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'm gonna start laughing over here because I'm wild amateur
for twenty eight old men. No, I just like, honestly, like,
I just like the prospects that I ranked higher. More like,
I don't think that Andrew. I think he's in the
bottom end of a tier, if that makes sense. Okay,
So Painter is still really good. He's you know, he
hasn't recovered with one hundred percent like from Tommy John.
Like you know, we were still seeing some of the
warts and some of the coment with the Tommy John

(09:54):
help me back twenty twenty six. That'll be absolutely awesome,
although they might need him. Was that Wheeler having blood clots? Seriously,
I wouldn't be I would be very scary stuff thoughts
and prayers with the Wheeler family because that is not
something that I would want anything with your brother and everything, Drew.
So but yeah, he's just probably towards the end of
a tier for me. I just liked a lot of
these guys that I ranked higher. More.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, Nate, going to you here we and when I
say we, Nate, you and I have been on very
separate ends of the conversation about one of the prospects
in this five historically Colt Emerson, and in a public forum,
I need to say, Nate, I think you were more
correct than I was about Colt Emerson, and I want

(10:39):
to first say thank you, I'm sorry, and can you
tell the people at home what it is that Colt
Emerson's gonna give because you can't argue that despite the
fact that he's kind of finally turning the corner and
all of the upside hike that we've heard about, it's coming.
It's coming like the dragons in Game of Thrones. Finally
we're seeing it. What's the real cold to Emerson?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Though?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Can the real Colt Emerson please stand up, Nate.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
It's the real Colt. The reason he is so high
on this list is it's purely projection based, because if
you looked at him in a vacuum right now, you're like, well,
he hits the ball on the ground a lot, and
he's still developing short stuff. I think the biggest thing
that's changed for me this year. I was lower on
Colt Emerson earlier in the year because I was like,
we need to see some strides in some form of
the game, whether it's the lift and pole, the defense.

(11:24):
The defense has taken such a step up he is
a legitimate shortstop. Watching him in person, I think he's
really good actions for kind of a big, clunkier mover,
he makes it work really well. He comes into the
ball incredibly well. I think the arm needs to just
improve just a little bit to make some most plays
in the hole. Sometimes you see him struggle with those.
But I think when I think top ten prospect, I
need that defense or that power one of those two.

(11:45):
And the defense has really improved, and he still has
that power projection with the really good evs I think
is his nineth percentile. Ev is has crept up a
couple miles per hour this year, So he's growing into
that power and at some point he's going to start
lifting the ball a little bit more and when he does,
it's a home run. We started seeing his b swings
go for doubles off the wall in the last couple
of weeks in Arkansas. So there's a lot to like
about Colt Emerson and he's finally putting it together. Even

(12:07):
though the on paper hitting numbers kind of look the same.
Underneath the hood, everything's really taking a step up this year.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Maybe so, Nate, what are the odds that, like you,
Colt Emerson has just found something he likes about Arkansas.
We won't get into that. Let's move on though, Reese
going to Bubba Chandler. You and I talk a lot
on Path to the Show on bally Sports Live and
Stadium about prospects and almost the human element of the game,
like the why the why is this guy not up?

(12:35):
With Bubba Chandler. I read this weekend that he is
at three straight seasons, over one hundred innings pitched, and
yet still nothing with Pittsburgh. I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna Path to the Show. You hear and say, like,
what's the timeline here? But at the same time, does
Chandler need to work on anything right off the rip?

Speaker 2 (12:54):
He just hasn't been performing as well this season. I
think the performance has taken a slight step back. And
obviously the Pirates I've decided that they don't think that
he's ready for the major League baseball I think that
he is. Honestly, like, at this point, the Pirates are
competing for anything. They're moving Andrew. He needs to the
bullpen to screw him over in a contract situation, So

(13:14):
why not you know, at least ingratiate yourself a little
bit with the fans to call above a Chandler, but
that's neither here nor there.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
You know, the slider.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
He's been throwing the change up a lot more of
this season, and I think that's ultimately why the results
have been a little bit less. Honestly, I think the
change is a little too firm. It's like only like
six to seven miles per hour of velocity separation, and honestly,
like you really want for someone, especially right handed pitcher,
you want that to be more closer to like eight,
especially at the slider is not being thrown as much.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's called from the major

(13:42):
leagues at some point and he's just started throwing like
forty percent fastball, thirty percent slider and all that, and
then you know, dials the change up usage back. So
I think that that ultimately might be the reason why
is because they wanted to develop the change up and
the change up hasn't taken the step four that they
wanted to.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Understood, Nate, you're a pitching guy, uh. With Chandler, Reese
was talking about the change up just looking kind of firm,
not really having the fluidity that you want that pitch
to have, and especially as he alluded to for the
right hander. I'm curious your thoughts on Chandler and maybe
one sentence because I have another question for you.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, I think the fascal's better than the changeup. I
think a lot. We've put so much projection into his
changeup and it isn't that pitch yet. It has the
potential to be, but it isn't there yet, which is
why he's been throwing it so much, and he isn't
in the major.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Leagues, understood. And then, Nate, we're gonna go to you
on this Max Clark. You are the low man, although
it's hardly a low at nine compared to a pair
of eight. Max Clark has been well documented for years
and years and seasons. Now, Nate, what's the ultimate upside
for Max Clark? And do you have an off the

(14:50):
rip comp for him? I think in our very first
episode we did Max Clark comps, and so now, nearly
thirty episodes later, I'm curious if you've got an updated comp.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I don't even know. Do you remember what I said
for him back then?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I think I said Brett Gardner. You might have said
Lorenzo Caine or what that was backwards? What?

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah, I think I think Lorenzo Caine talk, it's Lorenzo
Caine with a bat, because I think earlier this year
we were still like, oh it was that gonna be
more than the league average. Well now it's like, well,
how good can the bat possibly become? It could be
one of the better defenders in center field at his best.
I think he's got really good instincts out there, and
it all depends on on on the bat and the
power showing up in a big way this year where

(15:28):
this is like see a twenty thirty guy with like
not quite gold Glove level defense in center field. That's
like a four win player, five win player. So I
think we're starting to look at that. That middle just
keeps rising for Max Clark and in the same way
like the Tigers are so blessed, Rees are so lucky
Man McGonagall and Clark, and then you have the upside
of Bersannio just hanging out like it's a very It's

(15:50):
gonna be hard to miss if you're the Tigers over
the next couple of years. You have some very safe prospects.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, and Troy Melton Melton Moffins, he's back. I don't
know if people know that yet, But no, Clark has
been fantastic. I threw a little Lorenzo Caine and now
it's looking kind of like a floor comp I mean,
Max Clark has really taking a step forward. He's lifting
and pulling the bat bat of balls more like pulling
one hundred and eight miles per hour to the pull side.

(16:16):
Doesn't sound like a lot, but you know, in a
park play Comerica, if he's starting to lift and pull
to the pull side, right field is where it's a
little bit shorter and easier to hit home runs. Uh,
when you don't have to hit into the extreme forest
at his center field where you bat at balls go
to die on lesser micguil Cabrera or Prince Field or
my favorite player of all time, my favorit hitter of
all time.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
So oh yeah, I'm super pumped Max.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Clark, you know, plus maybe like plus ish defender in
centerfield on his best days, you know. And he's also
he's also really patient. I don't think he's passive. I
think he's patient. He's waiting for his pitch. In the
beginning part of the season, I did notice that he
was being a little bit passive. He was letting balls
travel into the zone a little bit too much, and
that was resulting in him not being able to pull
get out in front and pull bat of balls and
that's why he was having a lot of appo flare hits,

(16:59):
which is fine. But I think we're starting to see
maxlorg is really stepping into his own and maybe he's
closer to Kevin mcgonaga than I think people want to
talk about.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
I think that's really interesting. Certainly, uh, certainly a discussion
that warns its own time. Don't wanna, don't want to
bog us down with that, and maybe again another episode
that's something we can't talk about. That's a conversation that
we will have to have discomfort or not rece.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Let's talk about the next kind of cluster of guys uh,
and those would be Josse de Paula Zayer, Hope, Eduardo
can Taro, all of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Embarrassment of Riches, Uh,
the afore mentioned host Way Persenno Carson Beinge of the
New York Mets, Price Eldridge of the San Francisco Giants,
Walker Jenkins of the Minnesota Twins. Guys, this is a

(17:45):
group where if I had to let's let's let's let's
spread the love here, Nate, I'll go to you first.
Who is the outlier in this group for any reason?
And why the outlier?

Speaker 4 (18:00):
I mean maybe BENJ because I think he could get
called up like now, I'm very high on BENJ and
just being a slightly above average outfielder for a long time.
I don't know, if I look at any outfield I
think it's the EDWARDO Cantaro point, but I think I
want Reese touch it more because he is the high guy.
I think there's some real there's a real chance that
Kintaro's is by far the best guy out of this group,

(18:22):
but we just haven't maybe had enough of a sample
size to prove that yet. Reese am I am I
somewhat on the right track there.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
I think there's been enough sample size.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Man. I think Quintaro is a dog in center field
plus arm I think he's the five tool player, but
that we're all kind of looking for, if not very
close behind there.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
There's a lot of impact tools there.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
With Eduardo Quintaro, I think that guy, honestly, I wish
that I would have ranked him higher. And I think
eleven is still pretty aggressive I wish there was a
way I could find a way to put.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Him at like ten eight.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
You know, I'm after watching him this past season, I've
been like like fascinated with him, and I think he's
the best Dodgers prospect by you know, a little bit.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
I mean I think I let.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Me see, I went and I don't think there's any
wrong order by any means. These guys are all three studs.
I went to Quintaro Hope to Paula. Yeah, I'm the
low guy on Toapaula because I think that there's a
very real chance. And by low guy, I mean I
ranked him fourteenth. I think there's a chance that the
guy's the first basement. So, you know, I honestly this
is a this is a really good group of prospects,

(19:21):
and that's why the Dodgers have the best or second
best or We're not gonna do farmcistm rankings. That's not
my thing. Maybe we'll have to do that this offseason.
But they're probably the first or second best farm sistem
in all baseball, and those three outfielders are a big
reason for it.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Sure, absolutely so, Reese, let's just kind of play to that.
You said you think that you'd like to have Kintaro.
Higher's let's test that. I mean, what do you see
in Bubba Chandler that Kintaro couldn't provide. I know that's
a wild question, considering one's a pitcher and one is
a batter. But in terms of future value, do you
if you really believe in Kintaro, what's stopping that?

Speaker 2 (19:55):
I still believe in Chandler being an SP two type.
I think it's gonna be a acclamation to Major League Baseball.
I forget what the acronym nate uses to describe him.
He is very he suffers from Jackson job syndrume a
little bit. There's not a lot of deception in the profile.
So I think that once he develops that that'll be
the next step forward for him. But honestly, it was proximity.

(20:16):
But Jose Depaula and Louis Panya, I think are a
lot closer than people want to talk about.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Okay, okay, interesting, All right, guys, let's move down a
little bit further into the mix here before we get
completely down on this tier. Kind of at the the
lip point of the tens that I'm wanting to look
at going forward is the Gauge Jump Jonah Toong sub
mini tier of a fun and funk I guess is

(20:44):
probably a better way to say that. Nate, you have
got Gauge Jump over Jonah Toong. Reese, you have Jonah
Toong over Gauge Jump. I think that this is time
for a good old fashioned path to the show level debate.
So I'm going to give you each. I'm gonna give
you each thirty seconds on the clock, and I want
you to argue your case as for who is better.

(21:08):
So Nate again, you had Gauge Jump over Jonah Tong.
Your thirty seconds starts now.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Gauge Jump, I think has a better chance to be
a starter. Andy has deception baked into his delivery from
the left side, which is something that we're seeing is
just so important in baseball now. While Tong's stuff might
be a little bit better, I think Jump does everything
else just well enough to leap frog Tongue by just
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
You have another ten seconds if you want to just
say anything to the people at home.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Gauge Jump. Squat's so deep into his back leg when
he pitches, It is so awesome. The release traits that
he can get from that are like outlier stuff and
he must have the strongest legs ever stop.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay, very good thirty seconds on the nose. Almost Reese
Nate really brought the pain there in his thirty seconds.
I'm curious Jonah Toong equals or excuse me, better than
gauge jump question mark Your thirty second.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Starts now, so there's no wrong answer. I want to
spend some of my thirty seconds talking about that. But
I think that Jonah Toong's change up is pretty frickin bonkers.
We're talking about a change up that gets a with
about you know, fifty percent of the time he listens
to chase over thirty percent of the time with the
change up, and honestly, from that high release point and
that way that fastball plays, I think that gives him
such a high floor. I wish the breaking ball wasn't

(22:24):
touch better. I think you think of him and jump
sort of the breaking ball is ultimate, the ultimate question
with them. But yeah, give me Jonah Toong closer to
the majors too.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
So all right, hey, that went well thirty seconds for
both of you all both did really get there, all right,
and that gets us through that. So looking again, kind
of at that next ten ish names, We've got Thomas
White another picture right there. Kind of not in the
same cluster, I would say, but could be considered. Y'all
may disagree with me. Travis Bizana, Luke Kishel, Nolan McLean,

(22:56):
Trey is Savage, Peyton Totley, on held Arjin Nomala, and
then Cad Anderson at thirty, Nate, We're gonna go back
to you here. Of these guys, you're lowest on Argin Nomala,
You're highest on Luke Keishel, a couple of infield type guys.
They're curious what's the rub on Keishel and maybe what's

(23:19):
the doubt Onnamala.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
Keishael is such a well rounded skill set, and I
think major league performance does matter, especially like how often
do guys get off to the starts that he's getting
off to. Granted, Minnesota, I'm sorry, Luke, but it's very
much opened my eyes. And he came back from the
injury and I think he's been doing fine as far
as Arjin Namala goes. I wish I had him a

(23:42):
little bit lower. Honestly, I think while the upside's there,
I'm starting to think the floor just continually his mid
level is like fiftieth p centile outcome is getting lower
and lower by the day for me. I know he's young,
but I other than like a really good four month stretch,
she hasn't done a whole lot in the minors.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yeah, sure, I think that that's a very valid thing
to say. I know that with Namala, we knew that
it would be kind of an interesting development path just
based on his background in baseball. So to see there
be some bumps in the road really shouldn't be surprising
to people at home, But yet it's worth keeping in mind,
especially if you're a Blue Jays fan. Reese, looking at
your guy here in this tier, that is, at the top,

(24:25):
you ranked Thomas White at number twenty two, right on
the nose, I believe, there with the overall rank, and
then at the lowest you had Kate Anderson, the recent
draftee to the Seattle Mariners. I'm curious, is there any
kind of fear with Kate Anderson or maybe just it's
a fear of the unknown what he's going to look
like as a professional. And then with Thomas White, what's
your favorite thing about him?

Speaker 2 (24:46):
So I came into this last and I was like,
maybe I'll be the high guy on Kate Anderson because
I respect a guy who doesn't know where, he doesn't
know geography, he only knows pitching. Maybe that's an indictment
on the LSU education system, but that's neither here nor there.
Go to the SEC. You don't throw ball hard is
what he did. But I just I don't know. I
just think that he's probably of these guys there's the
least upside. The floor is fine Namala to touch on

(25:09):
him really quickly. I just think that, you know, we
catch him for like two month stretches every season that
he's like, looks like one of the best hitters in
league Baseball, and then he just decides to not be
as great. But Thomas White, I think that it's a
I think he's like, honestly, like, if we're going to
look on it based on it's here. I know I
ranked Gage down twenty one. I think there is a
tear drop between him and Thomas White. I know some

(25:29):
people like Thomas White a little bit more than I do.
I think he's just like a solid SP three type,
which is good, which is probably what you should be
ranked in the top twenty or top twenty five of
a prospect, especially with a down. It's a good change up.
Fastball is good, breaking ball's fine. I don't think there's
anything like I don't think he's gonna like have like crazy.
I don't think he has like a Nolan McClain level
sweeper by any means. But it's fine. A bunch of

(25:52):
good stuff, good frame, everything that you sort of want.
And he's from the left side, so I think you know,
a slight little bump there too.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Interesting.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Okay, this group of pictures is so much fun. There's
a lot of Totallykita. I mean, I could talk about
totally Savage and McLain forever. Those are such fun pitchers
and I don't know where it's going with that. There's
so fun. It's such a fun group.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I like that we had the second basement back to
back too, Travis Bazanna and Lukeishel because I was the
only second basement that I recognize at this point.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Nate, I kind of like what you just said. You
could talk forever about totally you, Savage and McLean.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Let's test that. I think I'm gonna give you twenty
seconds for each of them. How's that sound?

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Yeah, I mean, I mean whenever you're ready.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
No, I was gonna say whenever you're ready, I'll tell
you when to switch go to the next guy. So
you tell me when you're ready, I'll start the timer.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Gotcha, let's go go. I mean McLain and the sweeper,
and it's multiple breaking ball shapes. He really throws a
very good kind of cuttery, slattery pitch that he has
such feel back during that pitch. And maybe this is
because I haven't watched enough McLain this year. I knew
the numbers were so good, but seeing his pitch ability
the last couple of weeks has risen him up my
board and it's almost almost feels too low. Which the

(27:05):
Savage is this SP three type, So Reese talked about it.
Top twenty five guys in on a top prospect list
are probably SP threes. I think like you, Savage McClain
totally are the perfect SP three. I think you Savage
has that deception that just gives them a different look.
He might have the highest upside of those guys because
of that deception, depending on how the Blue Jays development
will be pitching. And then Peyton Toley, I mean a

(27:26):
flame throwing from the left side. I mean, we're finally
seeing Boston develop like a stud level pitcher. I don't
think it's out of balance to say that this is
Garrett Crochet's running mate in a year, a year right
like next next mid mid season, next year, and totally
hadn't been talked about a whole lot coming into this year.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
You did really good, mate. Hey, that was twenty seconds
of analysis on each of those guys.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
They're fun, They're very fun pitchers, They're fun to.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Talk about, and they're all they're all fresh feeling. I
think that's kind of one of the major things, if
we could take it, aside from maybe the rankings, themselve
elves to kind of the overall crop of the class. Reese,
you said something earlier about just being really kind of
sick of a lot of prospects, And that's such a
funny thing because it's not necessarily true. But you can
call it fatigue, you can call it just kind of

(28:11):
being sick of a guy like Reese called it. But
these guys feel fresh, McLean, you savage totally. They feel
fresh to me, and I think that that's probably one
of the things that makes them so much fun. For you,
Nate Reese, of this list, is there any other guy
that you think kind of resonates with that same fun energy.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Like as far as far as in that group of players,
I think all those pitchers are really fun.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
Peyton totally.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I mean, let's be real, like the Red Sox might
need a left handed starter for this little bit of
a run that they're going on. They're not that far
out of it. Maybe they call them up. I mean,
you know what, two years after or one year after
being drafted. I mean he's right on the doorstep, he's
in Triple A, pitched well enough. I just want to
also talk about you Savage. I saw people were freaking
out about your Savage. He had to learn how to
use a new ball. And I think anybody who is

(28:59):
taking anything from one start from the Savage is missing
the forest for the trees. This is something that I
kind of want, maybe want to explore in the off season.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
Is that different?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
You would think that in a sport like baseball, where
they're so little. You know, we have the same glove size.
You know, there's a certain bat size you think of
the ball would be standardized.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
But it's not.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
That's that's the end of my little mini ram. I
don't want to go on too long about it. I
want to research more into it. I'm not gonna put
put only dragon coefish or anything, but that would be fun.
I just want to look at different balls. We're phrasing
as wild on that one. But yeah, Peyton, totally awesome.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
I support whatever you want to look into. There's no
judgment here. I will say, Reese, you make a good
point though. Uh the base size is kind of an average.
You know, that's that's standardized. Why not ball? And it's
it's right there in the name, just as much as bass.
Something to think about at home. Something to think about
it home, guys. The next crop where I'm not gonna
read all the names. There's twenty more names here. I'm

(29:51):
gonna let you guys each pick maybe your your favorite
name from here and give me some thoughts as to why. Uh, Nate,
We'll go to you first, I suppose.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Yeah. So, looking at at the rest of the guys
in their top fifty, some guys I am a little
bit higher on would be a Seth Hernandez type arguably
kind of one a one B pitcher. In this last
class with Kate Anderson, For me, it's the upside play
to Kate Anderson's floor. It's whichever you prefer. I think
that the range of outcomes is large on both of them.
Ryan Sloan at thirty five, I think we've finally seen

(30:21):
him rewarded with a promotion to High A and Everett here.
I cannot wait to watch him pitch hopefully this year.
Ryan Sloan is a ready made starter like this is
a guy who's upside could be that of like a
Seth Hernandez type in my opinion, because he has such
feel for the offspeed pitches and the fastball is very good.
I think it's better than sets. And then another guy

(30:43):
I have who Um and Reese kind of grants Franklin
Arias at forty Reese has him at forty two. I
think it's a really fun player, Drew, I want to
hear your thoughts on Franklin Arias.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Okay, well, thank you. Well. I think that we had
the conversation about Franklin arius being what's really the difference
between me and Colt Emerson, right, and so since then
it's kind of made me rethink both of those players.
And I think that this tide has kind of balanced
them both out. I think that it has brought Arius

(31:13):
down and Emerson up, and I think I actually would
probably lean towards this list now and I would have
Emerson over Arius. As bizarre as that sounds. What we
know about Franklin Arius is that he has a really
really strong hit tool. I mean, it is an exceptional
hit tool, especially for his age to be at this
kind of precocious level of the minor leagues and be
able to hit and have I guess it's more feel

(31:35):
for contact than hit, I would say, but just has
such a strong feel for contact. What is the other
tool there? I don't really know, and so that kind
of deflates my balloon on him a bit. But I
like Arius enough. I do think that again, for better
or worse, you guys rub off on me, and this
may be one of the ways that we are becoming

(31:57):
more amiglammed in our thoughts. Maybe not better lot worse,
but interesting. Nonetheless, rees of these guys the rest in
the top fifty, which one jumps out at you as
being just a guy you're really into right now?

Speaker 2 (32:09):
I was the high guy on Carson Williams and Jordan
Lawler two ready ish made shortstop prospects who have well.
Jordan Lawler, I don't know what he's done to the
Diamondbacks organization. And Carson Williams is Huffy Baya's reincarnated basically,
but it's still pretty crazy.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
Power a guy.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
I really want to talk about someone that I was
higher on, not by it as much as I thought
I was going to be.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
Carlos sa Grange.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
I view him as a top twenty five prospect and
he's twenty six on my list, so kind of, you know,
someone raised, rose up and took. Honestly, Carson Williams is
kind of the guy that really rose up for me
when I was just digging through. Carlos the Granges is
like an absolute animal. The little gr animal is what
I'm thinking we should call him. We're talking abot, a
guy who's a fastball. It gets up to one hundred
and one. The change up's nasty than he needs to
throw it more. The slider has been really really good,
the Yankees of God him throwing that patent a Yankee slider.

(32:55):
He's been really really good. I think that he's very
much in that same realm for me, as you know, Jonah,
he's just below Jonah Tong, and he's with the Thomas White,
the Nola McClain. He's in that sort of group. I
think when I looked at my list, there was just
like a glob of pictures in twenty five to thirty
that I was just like, I'm in on these guys,
and honestly, for a little how the sausage is made.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
If I don't know if I am.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
If I have two positions ranked back to back, it's
basically like I just didn't know how to rank them
if they are two pictures. So I was just like, Okay,
I don't know how to rank these guys. I'm just
gonna more or less flip a coin and kind of
rock and roll with that. And I'm just a big
log animal fan.

Speaker 6 (33:32):
I like it.

Speaker 5 (33:32):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Hey, very good, all right, guys, the bottom bottom fifty.
That's not really the best way to say that, because
they're they're not bottom. I mean they're top the.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
Rest the rest of the time, the top one.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Thanks Nate. I like that positivity that spin there, guys.
Let's do sets of I guess we'll do twenty five
and twenty five. How about that? Maybe the same sort
of same sort of exercises we did just then. So
starting at prospect number fifty one, Alfredo Duno and going
to prospect number seventy five Edward Florentino, two pretty interesting

(34:07):
and certainly buzzy names from the twenty twenty five season,
and look at that, twenty five comes back in numerology
at work again. Taylor Swift or Witchcraft is working Reese.
Of those twenty five guys, which one jumps out the
most at you as being a fresh or fun prospect?
That was that's on the upwards swing.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
Two guys that I was a high guy on.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
I'm a big fan of what they got going on
in Cincinnati outside of the weird discussing Chile that they
put on things. But yeah, Alfredo Duno and Tyson Lewis,
I'm a big fan of those guys. They're both easy
plus power. Tyson Lewis had one hundred and nineteen milclare
ex of Lost, which I still don't kind of believe.
I believe is more like one hundred and fifteen Max.
We're still fantastic, Don't get me wrong. There's a manufacturer
in the age good shorts up to Duno is a

(34:48):
questionable catcher at best, but I think that there's enough
that you keep developing as a catcher. It's a little
bit more athleticism than you normally used to seeing from
behind the plate. It's a good arm, so maybe the
athleticism allows the glove to round a little bit more,
gives them a little bit more time. But I were
talking about pretty crazy power to go along with them.
And then was there one more guy? Oh, Alex Freeland,
ready made shortstop sort of just a lower tier than

(35:09):
Jordan Loller and Carson Williams I mentioned earlier in a
real life list. Ready made shortstops are going to get
bumped up for me fifteen, probably fifteen spots more than
I would like to rank them, because they're just right there.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
And I was freelance played in the major leagues.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Absolutely, he sure has. Nobody could take that away from him,
Nate of this twenty five anybody jumping out at you, man.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
I think I like Jamie Arnold a little bit more
than other people do. I think sometimes we forget how
good he is. I think maybe a little bit of
prospect fatigue with him, despite him being a new prospect
to the major leagues or to minor league baseball.

Speaker 5 (35:40):
I really like them.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Me and Reese both had Johnny Farmelo at fifty two.
I think it's a there's a real chance there's like
a five tool player, five tool ish player there and
in far Mellow he plays a really good center field
that's plus power. The frame still's room to grow. He's
been hurt right like the ACL He's been out for
a couple months this year, so you don't love the
injury concerns. If it wasn't for the injuries, I think

(36:02):
he would be close through a top thirty five player.
For me, just seeing him in person really change my
viewing him because the defense is is special. I do
want to talk a little bit about Spencer Jones, and
I think this is a conversation for the three of us.
I had him at ninety four, Matt had him at
forty eight, Reese had him at fifty five. I have
serious concerns about Spencer Jones against MLB pitching. He's been
able to get away with in triple A because guys

(36:22):
will hang stuff, ballpark factors, et cetera, et cetera. I
had a hard time even putting him in my top
one hundred with some of the holes in his game.
But I do want to hear your guys' thoughts on him,
because it's such an interesting process, maybe the most interesting
guy in top one hundred.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Do amigo?

Speaker 2 (36:38):
First?

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Sure? Okay, cool?

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Honestly, I told you guys, pretty show I liked fifty prospects,
and then after that I had to rank some guys.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
I'm just choking.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
But you know he's there's impact defensive enterfielder for sure,
so that raises the floor a little bit. I think
that buys him some time to figure out the hit
tool the major leagues. I think that's still a thirty
hit tool. I think that I just don't think he's
gonna make enough contact. But when he does make contact, right,
it's the tobiath Fumek meme. Right, Everybody deludes themselves into
thinking these guys are going to constantly make contact.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
Will it work for them?

Speaker 2 (37:06):
No?

Speaker 5 (37:07):
Will it work for us? Probably?

Speaker 2 (37:09):
And that's what Yankee fans are probably hoping with Spencer
John's the Yankee front office. I mean, it's easy, seventy
power on contact. The swing's a little weird. I still
think it's very bizarre that he's changing his swing stance
as much as he is. Makes me kind of I
don't know if I downgrade it or whatnot, but it's
just a very interesting note because when you watch him,
it's like, oh, when I have to write his report
this offseason, which I really hope he graduates. By the way,

(37:30):
I really don't want to write his report. How many
times I might have to spend the three hundred and
fifty ish words writing on how many swing changes he's
had throughout the season. But that's other here or there.
It's plus power, plus speed, plus defender in centerfield with
thirty contact skills At the very worst, he's an impact
fourth outfielder.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
What good player have we ever seen? Take this hitting
approach that he has as far as the swing adjustments
in the constant obviously is a feel for finding barrel
if it's if it's in the zone. But like, I
have never seen a I make this if I if
I one of my players in college was making swing
adjustments every day, they would go to the bottom of
the depth chart right off the bat. So I don't

(38:09):
know what the Yankees are doing. That's just where I
get so.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Well, that's that's a damn good question. They're not teaching fundamentals.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Of It's terrify I think it's terrifying because he could
be the best prospect in baseball if things worked out well.
Like that the tool sets insane, but like it's such
a weird thing going on, and when I when something
weird happens, I think that makes me lower on the guy.
I don't know, Drew, what are your thoughts? Though it's
the hardest rank guy, it's the hardest rank guy in

(38:35):
my opinion, I.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Could agree with that. I think that this is gonna
sound so much worse than what I mean it, So
I trust that you guys, you guys I hope will
know me well enough to know I don't mean it
with any malice, and you guys at home, I hope
you do as well. I'm kind of at this point
just ready to stop talking about it and see what happens.
Like I'm ready to either be right or wrong with
Spencer Jones, and I'm totally fine if I am wrong.

(38:58):
But when I see these things, I don't know. You
guys are correct that it's concerning that there's so many
alterations from at bat to at bat, even in the
setup at the plate with him. But that being said,
if what we're seeing is success after success, after success.
What if this is just the first guy to put

(39:19):
jelly with peanut butter, And that's putting it really strangely.
It's a strange analogy. But if there's something to be
said for this, then at a certain point, I don't know.
I'm just what I see is a guy who impacts
the game in some way or another, whether it's on
the base, pats, in the outfield, as he said, an

(39:39):
impact defender and center, or with the power because it's insane,
real present power. I hope that Reese is correct in
that he does not have to rank him again. The
time is kind of running out for that. And Nate,
I think that you're very valid in saying that it's
concerning for a player to make so many alterations in
such quick success. You can't give it time to see

(40:01):
what really works and doesn't. At the same time, though,
I can't argue with this level of success, and I'm
ready to either be right or wrong about Jones, and
I think that no matter the case, I'm gonna learn something.
I'm either going to learn that you don't argue with
tools this loud, or sometimes you can tinker yourself into
a prospect grave. So that's kind of where I'm at

(40:23):
with it, if that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
The seventy five percent some contact rate is just scary,
you know, and we're talking about you know, he swings
and misses a lot. I mean, he's a fifty two
percent swing guy. Like, there's just a lot here that
I'm just like, man, everything here just like it's red flags.
But when you see the one hundred and fourteen max EV
and the fifty one percent hard hit rate, You're like, damn,

(40:46):
maybe this could work.

Speaker 5 (40:47):
It's such a it's such a fascinating profile, you know.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
The one the one good thing for him is he
doesn't have the ball on the ground a lot.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
So I don't know, I'm just I'm just I.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Have a peculiar it's peculiar.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
If the spread of outcomes is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
It it is. That's very well said, mate. I think
it's a.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Player in baseball or playing in the KBO in five years, right,
there's no there's no difference or there's very little middle
ground for him.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
I think I'll say this. I'll say this. I was
not invited to participate in this, in this exercise to
build this list, and it is for the best because
Matt had Jones highest at forty eight. He would not
have had the highest ranking if I were included. I
just that's that's pretty much all I could say about it.
Of the bottom twenty five, we do need to get

(41:33):
this train back on the tracks. Of the bottom twenty
five guys. This is kind of the point where if
I can, if I can kind of be blunt with it,
maybe you're kind of just put your name on guys
as a team, as a site. You're saying, Hey, this
is a guy we believe in. Is this guy really
better than this guy we don't know? This is just
the top the seventy five through one hundred range of

(41:55):
the list. All these could be dudes. They could all
move up within the next year. This could be top
twenty five guys. And that brings me to my question, Reese,
of these gentlemen in the bottom twenty five, I guess again,
I need to stop saying that of the seventy six
through one hundred range, who's the most likely top twenty
five guy next year?

Speaker 5 (42:12):
Oh, let me just look at the list real quick.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Sure, there's a lot of there's a lot of upside.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
There's a lot of upside in the back end and
I think that's where something that Nate and I have
really made it. And Matt also, Matt used to be
a little bit more conservative in his grades. Now I
notice that there has been more upside, more shots because ultimately,
like I said that, there's nothing of consequence. If I
ran a guy at one hundred, Andy flames out. I
don't really at this point, I don't really care. But
as far as guys who could be in the top

(42:40):
one hundred, Jojo Parker, Kendri Churio, who's the buzziest name
out there, I'm gonna throw one more name out there
because I want to give Nate some names too. Uh.
I love Johnny Lovell level is everything that I sort
of want. I think he's really close to host Ward,
to Hazus, to Gonzalez. Long name shout out to him.
That's going to be a really fun name on the

(43:01):
back of a jersey. Well, yeah, I think those are
my three guys. I'm not being very fair Ton eight.
I picked the three guys at the top of this
sort of clump of players. So date, who do you
think is going to break into the top twenty five?

Speaker 4 (43:13):
No, because there's so many. I I think cal Steven
if he adds some velocity, I think we could see
him be that next SP three type that we talked
about earlier. I think Cal Stephen was a steal for Cleveland.
They're pretty good at adding vlo to arms. I think
D'Angelo Sanja I think things could really work out. I

(43:35):
think he's gotten pretty unlucky all year long, and sometimes
he hangs a breaking ball. Every time he hangs a
breaking ball, it gets sent out of the ballpark, So
I think there's definitely some upside there. Kendrick Rojas is
a guy who I didn't necessarily think was going to
be in my top one hundred, and then like doing
more research on it, I think I love the spot
that he's at at ninety one. Just so much upside there.

(43:56):
Gavin Fiene from Texas is one of my favorite prep
guys coming into this last draft. And then what if
Alex Klem he can throw strikes. That's one of the
better pictures in baseball if you can throw strikes right
like that's him and Psychora. I was coming back to
TJ very interesting. If I could talk about one player,
I want to talk about the Password because I had

(44:16):
him on my list recent Matt did not, and I
had such a hard time placing him. And I almost
want Drew's opinion too, because me and Reese were kind
of struggling to figure out how to rank Justinson. Am
I wrong for saying he's a top like one twenty
guy for you, Reese?

Speaker 5 (44:32):
He's probably one on one if right, He's very close.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Like you know, all these guys that didn't make my
list were very close to making it, Like just Dixon,
gauge Wood didn't make my list, he was very very
Jimmy Crooks, a run Escobar. Yeah, so basically we're talking
about Michael Roy was not close making my list, but
we're talking about oh Man like ready ready.

Speaker 5 (44:58):
Ish made guy.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Honestly, Like, I feel like it's gonna sound so stupid
if he gets traded to another organization. I feel like
I'm just bump him up just a little bit and
he might be a top one hundred guy because I
just don't know where he's gonna play for this Red
Sox team.

Speaker 5 (45:07):
They already had enough issues finding enough plate appearances for
their outfielders.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Did think they can't find more plate appearances for another outfielder?

Speaker 4 (45:14):
Yeah, and then me and Reese also had Gage stander
from Bo Davidson our top one hundreds. It doesn't look
like they're going to actually make our top one hundred
because they were so far back, but they're gonna come
in at like one oh one and one oh two.
Two super exciting players that I think deserve a shout
that they are so close to making a top one
hundred lists after coming into this year with very little hype.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Certainly, Yeah, absolutely, Reese. The guys that look like right now,
I mean, just barring anything changing, the guys that look
like they may not make the top one hundred that
you had in your list in order, Jacob Melton, Gauge
stanf For, Owen Murphy, Bo Davidson, Case and Cunningham. And
then Nate your guys of the same Ilk, just Stinson,
Garcia as you alluded to, gauge staniff For as well,

(45:55):
Bo Davidson as well, A roun Escobar, Harry Ford. And
then we'll give a shout out to Matt that's not
here to speak about his but the ones he had
in the top one hundred, Gage would Jacob Melton, Jimmy Crooks,
Michael Arroyo, and Cooper Pratt. So if you're wondering whatever
the list comes out, Hey what about they were close?
So there you have it, and that guys is a

(46:17):
top one hundred. That's how it's done. You take three
smart people, give them a bunch of prospects, they pick
a hundred of them, You average those together. You get
a good list. At least that's how it works for
us here at Prospects Live, guys, one quick note about
the list, and then we'll wrap this up and send
us on our merry way. On a scale of one
to ten, how difficult to rank was this list? And

(46:41):
why is fatigue on Prospects the worst part of that?

Speaker 4 (46:45):
Nate, It was not the most difficult, but it was
certainly difficult. I'm talking myself in circles. It's like, I
think it was somewhere in the middle. I think I
was able to differentiate pretty well. But it's a tier thing, right,
and the numbers. If you're arguing over five spots, it's
probably because these guys are in the same tier, and
I actually look at them very similarly, and at some

(47:07):
point you're just kind of just picking one that might
have a one percent better upside. So it's a difficult process,
but it isn't the hardest thing.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
In the world, sure, Reese to you, out of ten,
how difficult to rank? And how much of that was?
The fatigue on guys.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
One through fifty was like a two difficulty, like very
easy to do. I loved every process that I ranked
one through fifty, I liked them a lot. And then
fifty through one hundred was like what I'd imagine pulling
teeth out without any sort of like any sort of
pain reliever.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
I was struggling to get to about like a hundred,
like it was. It was starting to get to the
point where it was like, am I really going to
start throwing forty fives on this list? And I was like, oh,
I found some fifties, So yeah, And that prospect of fatigue,
I think it banks in a little bit. Jamie Arnold
probably one of the bigger examples of it, because if
Jamie Arnold pitched what we thought that he was going
to do at Florida's Date, I mean he probably is
the first overall pick so and probably like a top

(48:03):
fifteen ish prospect. So yeah, prospect d definitely takes takes
a toll into some of these guys, for sure.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
To shake to Shae, well, you should not be tired,
because when you get this list, it's gonna be something
very interesting that you have to take a look at
at Prospectslive dot com. When we get back from this
brief little interlude from our friends to drop teams, we're
gonna tell you what else is going on at prospects
live dot com. So sit right there, we'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Thank you to the drop teams for fantastic music interlude
right there, and with that we're gonna do what's going
on over at Prospects Live. We had the Daily Sheet
coming out, we had the Dynasty Baseball pickup guys. Doc
has released a Sunday Smokes article. Greg has released a
Live Looks article. I will also be coming through the
Live Looks article as well at some point this week. Obviously,
you know, as the title of this episode at the

(48:57):
top one hundred list, we will be putting Nate and
I will be posting our own on Twitter after that
or x So keep on with that and with that,
I don't see anything else that's coming out between now
and then. Oh, Dynasy diploma might be coming out between
now and then. Uh shout out to Lucas for that one.
And with that, what is on your mind? Let's go

(49:19):
with Nathaniel.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
My name's Nate.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
I have a pet peeve when people call Nathaniel. I
think I don't like that's a sucky name.

Speaker 5 (49:28):
I don't kind of like a name.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 4 (49:32):
It's just bad name. Nathan. Nathan, Nathan's way better.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Nathaniel seems like like a home monitor ass name. Yeah,
like Parti's ass name, which I don't know about the
cool party.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Okay, okay, Well, but before before you get to what's
on your mind, I need to ask you guys this
because we're breaking down the difference in the names. If
if I suddenly told you both I wanted to be
Andrew or Andy, how would you feel about that? What's
the difference between and Drew Drew and Andy.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
Andy's a fun guy.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
I don't like the name Andy. I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (50:07):
That's my dad's name. Bought your mouth. That's mister Asthminson.
I'm gonna bring my mom back on. Yeah. I know
I like Andrew more than Andy. I like Andrew Andrew,
but it goes.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
I like Andrew, I don't like Andy, but I'm gonna
go Drew. I don't know why I have to do
our frame with Drew Andrew and then big big app Andy.

Speaker 5 (50:30):
I don't like the name Andy.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
There you go, Nate, I'm sorry, Go ahead, y' all
talking about the different and then Ree, we need the
official Nate Nathan Nathaniel tier as well.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
Nate Nathan Nathaniel.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
Yeah. I think Nate and Nathan are pretty close. I
go by both, which confuses people. I'll just introduce myself
as Nathan sometimes to people, and it's kind of weird
because then people are trying to figure out who I am.
But I just like keeping people on their toes.

Speaker 5 (50:57):
Yeah. See, that's that's one of the pitfalls of my
mom just giving me the name. There's no anything else
after that.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Here's here's the official Tier. There reestaer Reese r.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Yeah, I'm East. Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Like Nate, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
I don't really have much on my mind. I went
to an awesome concert last night. Sam Barbara really good,
uh country ish music, got this hat right here. I
had a lovely little time there. He had a super
good opener. Jonah Kagan some kind of folky kind of tunes.
I think that you guys would I would enjoy that.
But uh, So I was at this concert last night
and I was like, why do I like Sam Barber
so much? Because it's such sad country music. It's like

(51:37):
it's like painful, like he is like expelling demons during
his set, and he yeah, it's very like emotional country music.
And then I'm like looking around, it's it's only couples
inside this theater, and uh and and I'm looking around,
I'm like, this is like the most single guy music ever.
So it's kind of weird to like be there on

(51:58):
a date with a woman and like this is what
I listened to when I was like down, bad single,
like this is the guy because it's such like it
was such tragic country music. So I thought that was
a funny thing that I was noticing. It was like
none of the girls knew who he was. It's like
so such single guy music. And then the single guys
get girlfriends and then they still like the music, but
it's not like you can sing along to it because
it's such a such a downer.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
So I don't know what I thought.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
It was like it was like it's very sad music,
like very sad country music. It's great voice, like great
great instrumental kind of capabilities on the band. But uh,
I just thought it was really fun. I'm like, why
do people go to these super sad compst And I'm like, wait,
sad music kind of rocks man when you really look
like a single guy or whatever. But I was like,
maybe that's not the best place to take a date
is to the sad country I was like, probably should

(52:43):
have gone to this whole loone and like found something out
about myself. But I just haven't been up to much, so, uh,
I didn't have a whole lot of what's on your mind?

Speaker 5 (52:52):
So I want to expand upon this. What is your sad?
I'm gonna I'm going through mine.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
So if wanna talking sad music, sad music sad, I mean,
I'm I don't know.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
I like sad country music a lot, man. I think
there's a lot of a lot of good, good sad
country music. Jason Isbel is one of my favorites. Everything
he makes.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Spotify thinks I listen to if it's gonna create me
a sad, lonely sad music, Let's see what Spotify comes
up with for me.

Speaker 5 (53:24):
I don't know any of these people.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
I'm I'm looking for, like, I think I had maybe
a sad playlist at some point in my life and
I'm struggling to find it. But oh gosh, I to
have a song specifically that I love that is very
very sad. Oh my gosh, I'm.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Never gonna be talking lack of future on here Codine
Crazy Now, who is throw Away by Future?

Speaker 5 (53:58):
Listen the future gives me fired up?

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Oh okay, here we go. Here's a good sad song
for anybody needing a good one. Sleepless by Novo Amore
one of my favorite song.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
That is a tragic song.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
I love that song.

Speaker 5 (54:10):
I know that song.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
It's an absolutely tragic one.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Oh I do have another just absolutely like heartbreaking song
as well, varru oh and that's spelled v A r
u o by Siegur Ross. That is I forget what
nationality they are, but that's a heartbreaking song. You will
not speak the language more often than that, but guys,
that song will put you in your ultimate fields.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
So every year on my Spotify, Rapped one and two
are always a combination of Zach Bryan and Bonie vere
if you guys know who that is, and they're both
very sad musicians, but those are like the two guys
listen to way more than everyone else. Like I lift
to bonie Vere, which is like people think I'm insane.
I like channeling. I channel my demons when I lift,

(54:56):
I listen to heart breaking stuff and stuff no like
I don't know if I ever told you guys this.
When I pitched at bush Now, I made uh, my
head coach slapped me as hard as you could in
the face before I went out on the mound, like
full on slap. I was trying to fight guys in
the dugout because I just had to get going, because
this ad poo wasn't gonna get it done.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
On it you need it.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
I needed the juices going, and I would be slapping
myself and I couldn't do it hard enough, so I'd
make other people hit me. So that's a funny Nate story.
I used to make my coach slap me as hard
as he could before, and one time I was went
to the mountain, I was lightheaded because I got hit
so hard, so I locked in. I locked in, but
there always was a thought like what if he knocks
me out right now? Then? What?

Speaker 1 (55:41):
You know?

Speaker 2 (55:41):
What that was awesome, so funny delay I knocked out myself.

Speaker 6 (55:49):
I knocked up my pitcher, Like how how great would
it be if if they're just kind of like, you know,
all right, we're going to the bullpen and that, yeah, okay,
it looks like, you know, we have rasmusen up, but
nobody's coming out yet.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Wonder what's going on. And then about a minute later
it's like, uh, it's like, okay, uh, now we've got
another guy that looks like Smith is up there warming up.
What has happened?

Speaker 4 (56:11):
That'd be the fun caffeine smelling salts, physical harm. I
did everything. I was the psycho. I was the psycho
psycho closer, which I think people don't always think about.
But I threw eighty, which made it so freaking cool
in my I love that.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Yeah, you are a great demographic of picture Nate.

Speaker 4 (56:27):
There's videos of me coming off the mound and like
looking at the other team. You know, I was one
of those.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
I think you are. That's great, that's so good.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
That was my wallpaper for a little while. Okay, I've
talked enough about a bunch of different things. Let's get
too Drew and what's on your ground?

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Sure? Well, I have kind of a topic I want
to talk about with my buddies, but I do want
to give a special shout out to a listener or
two at home. This weekend, guys, my brother Kyle UH
and his girlfriend Faith went to go see Kyle's favorite team,
the New York Yankees UH in Saint Louis, and while
they were there, Kyle proposed to Faith that she said, yes,

(57:07):
I want to say congratulations to Colin Faith. I love
you both so much. I'm so proud of you, and Uh,
I'm just so happy. I'm so so happy. Kyle is
the I don't think he's posted yet because they're wanting
to like I think they said they want me to
edit some of the photos from like the moment because
they had a buddy. They're like taking pictures whenever. He

(57:27):
actually proposed.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
So if Kyle needs some beer boys for the wedding,
me and Reese.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Oh you guys would do great. Yeah, and he might
actually take you up on that. So that.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
I'm down for whatever.

Speaker 4 (57:39):
I love, I love, I love I love love to
I love love.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
But as I kind of alluded to, I don't know
if I said it on the air or not, but
this weekend is my my home fantasy league's uh farm
system draft prospect draft, and uh this is the only
occasion through the year that we can add minor league talent.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
So we have a fifteen player deep system, which is
very shallow. I really don't care for it, but it
is what it is. So sixteen teams, fifteen players, that's
you know, round about two fifty. I'm curious, guys, the
first step of this, I'm gonna tell you who all
I've picked. But I have six six prospects on my roster,

(58:20):
my prospects roster right now. I'm just curious how many
of them you guys can name, Like, how many you
can get? Like this is definitely a god Drew has
on his roster and.

Speaker 5 (58:29):
Go Drew guys.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
Okay one, Oh who played it? Why am I drawing
a blank on Drew, guys?

Speaker 1 (58:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (58:44):
That's okaynes see last year drying too shallow. The leak
for driling it's really slowed off as of recently. What pictures?
Oh Chase Bartnes No, No, Chase Burns, damn interesting he
would be No Max Clark.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
I'd like Clark, but I don't have Clark. I'll help
you in this way. I have one starting pitcher, one
second base ish guy. Another I have Michael Arroyo is one.

Speaker 5 (59:17):
Of the short stops, so that's Franklin Franklin Arius. That's three,
oh dang, okay, and so I have you're a Christian
more guy Moore is on.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
My major league team because he's he's graduated. So I
have another power hitting outfielder, another second base type, and
then a picture starting pitcher.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Okay, so I have to think we're dealing with one
hundred and fifty ish prospects.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
You're a Yoho guy. I know that I.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Have Yoho's rights, but he's also major because he's been,
he's been in the major so.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
He's I don't know anything.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
That's what's yo ho up and down, the up and
down between the major League and.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Well, I don't want to take too much time, so
I'll go ahead and tell you guys. The other three
are Andrew Painter, okay, Robert Claws and kind of dog got.

Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
That's why you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Like I said, I have nine picks to add to
this system, and I was going to just tell you
guys who I've picked so far and get your uh,
get your analysis really quick course for me. Okay, so
this was a very good pool. Unfortunately I picked thirteenth
because I finished like fourth last year, so I didn't
get one of the upper echelon of talent, which included

(01:00:31):
guys like Louise Penya, Edward Florentino, the top of the
class in this most recent draft, et cetera, et cetera.
Uh So, just keep that in mind. But my first
round pick, I took Billy Carlson. I took Andrew Fisher
in the second round. I got Dessaun Hill in the third,
Marconi Jermione in the fourth, Daniel Egan in the fifth,

(01:00:53):
David Davello in the sixth, and Gavin Feen in the seventh,
and I have two picks to go.

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
I like Feen in the seventh.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
A lot too, is someone I contemplated a hundred throw
throwing out as one hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
I think he's a viable one hundred. So I like
that shout. But I got Macaroni as well. But but yeah,
the list is good. I need more prospect pitchers, and
so like Dassaun Hill, David Davio, Daniel Egan, they're kind
of three different shouts at maybe being something I don't know,
but yes, I love Fien in the seventh round. Uh

(01:01:27):
Marconi in the fourth is pretty pretty wild. I don't
think that this will be out by the time we're finished.
I'd really like to snake maybe. Uh well, I'll just
tell you guys who else is on my hot list.
You guys know it. Hayden Alvarez is the name I've
almost pulled like five times now. I think is a
good pick the later we get. And also Josh Hammond

(01:01:48):
is a name I'm really really like.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
I love Hammond. If you can get Hammond and Fien,
I think that's an awesome combo.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
I think I think that in a league like this, uh,
Marconi is fine. I don't think that there's any upside
in tanking VSL guys because they will come to the complex.
And how would you rank the prospect knowledge of this league?
Because in leagues like this, if I know that, I
I mean for the most not to brag, but most

(01:02:15):
of the time when I enter a league, I do
tend to have the highest prostechnology.

Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
Although that's not true in my current league. That drives
me crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Okay, So I guess to answer your question, I guess
it's I would say that I have the most deep knowledge,
but it's a it's a league of very very smart
guys and it's getting smarter, and I want to I'm
not going to take credit for that, but I think
that everybody knows they have to study because it has
gotten out that I do this, and so uh, not

(01:02:43):
that I keep it a secret by any means, but
I would prefer that people treat me the same as
they always have so, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
So it's the price of fame if we're being honest,
true affected by it every day.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
He can't go yeah, well, I can't go to Mikes
and picks up my sandwich anymore without being bombarded.

Speaker 5 (01:03:01):
That's That's just.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
It though, is that when the fall media, I'm just drew.
So uh anyway, uh, that is what's on my mind again.
Another congratulations to Kyle.

Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
And to face that's Kyle.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Uh will. While we're shouting out Kyle, I'll read through
his picks in the draft really quick. Kyle has gotten it.
Kle's had a much better draft than me. Kyle's gotten
Peyton Totley, Alfredo Duno, Esteban Mahia, Hector Rodriguez, Jo Hendrick Panango,
Elma Rodriguez Cruz and Viheva Alloyd. Kyle has done fabulous.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
Very good draft.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
Well, he's drafting in front of me, and so he
also has the privilege of asking me who's good. I'm
just kidding. Kyle doesn't ask me who's good. He's very smart.
Uh Okay, Reese, what's on your mind? Or I guess
more appropriately, what are we drafting?

Speaker 5 (01:03:41):
Why are we drafting me?

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
So? I, you know, I've been really rolling well in
these drafts these past couple of days.

Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
I mean, I destroyed the adult character draft.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
We're gonna go We're seeing the character around, but we're
gonna go with you know, Pixar movies. We're gonna do Disney.
But then Disney opens up too many, you know, does
to have the discussion, does the Star Wars come in?

Speaker 5 (01:04:02):
Does Marvel count? Can we draft Stephen A. Smith?

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
Can we draft his sort of stuff? Can we drop
the ESPN stuff? So I just decided that we're gonna
go Pixar and keep it pretty. You know, every well,
anybody who doesn't like Pixar movies, you know, you find
something else.

Speaker 5 (01:04:18):
You know, you're just sad person.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
So I might say, unless you guys don't, and I
think we've already decided on the order. I'm going first again,
so I get a chance to just run away at
this draft. Now, are we drafting our favorites or are
we drafting best movies? Because I think it's I have
a little bit of a difference, but it doesn't change
my first pick. There's twenty nine released Pixar movies and

(01:04:42):
we're drafting sixteen of them, so it's gonna we're getting
into the weeds. I think it should be a combination
of both. I don't I don't know if you necessarily
need to limit my best favorite I think are the
same thing in this in these drafts that we do, right, Yeah, Okay,
then I am going to start off with a banger,
I hope, so at least I drifting the Incredibles.

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
I absolutely love the Incredibles.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
It is the fourth best superhero movie of all time.

Speaker 5 (01:05:05):
But I Dark Knight Trilogy, Well, what a what a pull?

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
That's because I'm assuming that this is the Dark Knight Trilogy,
the Incredibles.

Speaker 5 (01:05:15):
The Incredibles, It's quite the last.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Um Okay, wow, okay that I'm still kind of shook
by what Reese just came out. Of his mouth. Okay, well,
I think that I'm gonna go with Toy Story. I
think that the original Toy Story is a seminal classic.
Started it all. I have such a great memory with
that movie, Like on a personal level, it's it's an

(01:05:40):
amazing accomplishment. Like I know, Nate, consider that this movie
was made entirely on Mac computers whenever. That was a rarity.
Just such a cool thing to see that that started
this whole deal. Very pleased and the characters wood he buzz. Uh,
there's just tremendous stuff, uh, Nate. That goes to you
for two sir.

Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
Yeah, I'm gonna go Cars That would be my one
to one in in Pixar movies.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
That was the og that was in my timeline born
in two thousand and two, came out in two thousand
and six. I was primetime age.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
For my next pick, I'm gonna go Finding Nemo. It's
such a heartfelt classic. And obviously there's another one that
will probably get drafted, but uh Og Nemo and Cars Man.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
That's that's a great turn. Cars That's such a fantastic movie.
But like that, that's a there's a good glob of
of movies in this draft, and I was hoping that
cars would fall, but it obviously wasn't going to.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
I think, just again, the strength of my first round
is there, but why not? Why stop there? I'm gonna
go Toy Story three. Uh, guys, I I cried as
as a senior in high school going into a freshman
in college, cried openly in the in the theater watching
Toy Story three one of my favorite movie experiences of

(01:07:00):
all time. It is so sad and heartfelt, and the
emotional journey that these characters go on is tremendous. Watch
it if you haven't watched it recently.

Speaker 4 (01:07:08):
I think I like three the most out of all
of them.

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
It's so good. I almost took three first. I almost
took three at one, but I was like, I'm gonna
get in I'm gonna be inflamed on the Twitter machine
if I take three over one. But I would agree
with you that three is the better film.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
Three. Three is almost perfect. It is honestly quick ranking
and toyst well, one of them hasn't been picked yet.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
I don't think I'm gonna go on the lemon say
Toy Story four is not being drafted in this draft.

Speaker 5 (01:07:37):
But you never know.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
I'm going with Ratitudey, which is one of my absolute
favorite movies. It is almost perfect.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
And then I'm going with Wally. Wally is so good.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
Wally is absolutely one of my favorites. The only thing
that holds it back is I wish it was a
silent film the entire time.

Speaker 5 (01:07:53):
It was so awesome when there was no dialogue at all.
So yeah, I'm going Ratituey and Wally.

Speaker 4 (01:07:59):
It was as he wanted again.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
Gosh, that was that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
I don't think so. I think we I think there's
still hope for us here.

Speaker 5 (01:08:06):
Okay, I think I think there's still some hope.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
But you know, getting that one and then getting the
wrap around, we need to figure out some sort of order.
I know that we are believers in snake order, but
we have to change up the order because the one
whoever gets the one is always gonna be winning these drafts.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Yeah, it's tough, you know. I have three that are
at the top of my list here and and honestly four.
I really don't know, uh what direction to go here
because I think I'm well represented with toy Story even
though well, I'll move, I'll just.

Speaker 5 (01:08:34):
Grab the just grab the second one, just you know,
just you can really hope.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
That Okay, this this is gonna be a controversial pick,
but no, actually I'm gonna I'm gonna go safe. I
think The Inside Out is probably one of the most
clever movies I've seen in my entire life. It's such
a genius way of discussing your emotions and why certain
people behave differently because the certain emotions kind of are

(01:08:59):
at the forefront of their brain at any given point.
To talk about memory and change and how you grow
and live and love. It's just so sweet. Another great
movie that there. You know, Pixar does it every so often.
Curious if you guys have seen Inside Out.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):
I seen Inside Out.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
It's very good. Would recommend it? Nate to you for
two sir.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
I'm gonna go up. I swear I was so good,
very very good movie.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
And then.

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
This is where we get a little thin and I
don't want to get too weird. I want to I
want to. I want to run the rock right now.
I want to run the ball. Let's go. Uh monsters, inc.
Those are all of those movies are scoldhood, right, those
are all when I was seven to three years old,
So I watched all those a lot, and I like

(01:09:47):
them all. Wally was number two on my board and
I thought I could get it later. That is one
of the greatest movies of all time.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
Wally is a perfect like I said, it would have
been if it was a silent movie, it would have
been the best movie.

Speaker 5 (01:09:58):
It would have been one one as an Oscar winner.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
In my opinion, I agree had it been silent all
the way through, that would have been a masterclass in
visual storytelling. I think that I not that I've sold
because I've stayed very true to myself with my list,
and I think I could win. But I am going
to take a deeper shot here. I don't know that
you guys have seen it, but I do highly recommend it.

(01:10:21):
Turning Red was one of the most surprisingly awesome movies
I saw in probably the last five years. Set in
the late nineties, which is obviously kind of my childhood,
my heyday. It's hilarious, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, and everything.

Speaker 5 (01:10:36):
That is a beautiful movie.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
It's absolutely beautiful. It's it's so good and like just
just such a sweet movie. The art style really grew
on me, and the music is great because it's about py.

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
Bands, Ludwig Gornsen is awesome. He's a great composer.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
There you go, sorry, weird s, there you go. No,
I love it good. Thanks for that.

Speaker 5 (01:10:54):
It wasn't expecting a composer shout from Nate.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
You never loved.

Speaker 4 (01:10:58):
I listened to, uh what's entered the Interstellar soundtrack all
the time. Man, I love a soundtrack.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Hey, okay, I could go, Okay, Bob, you guys, you
guys picked my pockets on those last two.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
I think there's a I think there's two very clear
excellent movies left on the board. And I bet we're
all in differentiation, but well one I would well, actually
i'd say they're very good. I wouldn't even maybe go
to excellent, but they're two very good movies left on
the board.

Speaker 5 (01:11:29):
I'm going Soul. I'm rounding this out.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
I absolutely that was a fantastic movie. It was a
very interesting way to look at how you are as
a person, things that are pretty determined.

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
I think it's a very interesting. It deals with death
in a very interesting way. I love Soul. I think
Soul is one of the more interesting and those are
a sort of interesting group.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
Of characters as well. Yeah, I'm going soul As is
the one to round out my draft. I don't think
it was probably the best of the movies, but it's
my favorite.

Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
I believe on the board.

Speaker 5 (01:12:00):
Cars two is awful. Cars was one of the worst movies.

Speaker 4 (01:12:03):
Mc missile.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
I've said this a million times with both of you,
but I've never watched any of the Cars movies.

Speaker 5 (01:12:11):
That is. That is such a shit. You gotta watch
it tonight. Like one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
Three is actually pretty good. Three is about like a
lot of baseball stuff, like analytics and everything, and how
the old how the new guard is taking over the
old guards.

Speaker 5 (01:12:24):
It's a money of cars.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
You weren't expecting me to talk about how much movie
and Cards three is the money ball of cards.

Speaker 4 (01:12:34):
Then Jonah Hill's great.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Yeah, he tells you all about what the you know,
additives in the engine and how that makes for a
better race car. Really quick, let's go through the draft though,
just because I'm ready to recap it. Race You had
the Incredibles, Ratituy Wally and soul Nate. You had cars
Finding Nemo up and Monsters inc very good. Drew had

(01:13:00):
Toy Story, Toy Story three, Inside Out Turning Red.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
So okay, good quick thing, who what was your guys
honorable mentions, because I'm just gonna put it out there.
I was not drafting A Bug's Life at all. We
could have gone to all twenty nine, but I was not.

Speaker 5 (01:13:15):
I hate that movie so much. It is terrifying, gromanic, scary.
I'll buy it it is.

Speaker 4 (01:13:19):
It is good Dinosaur Loki Rocks.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
The Good Dinosaurs is probably what is the most underrated
Pixar movie.

Speaker 4 (01:13:27):
The Good Dinosaur is awesome. I was. I was considering
it with my last pick.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
I haven't seen. My Also rands were Toy Story two,
which is very good and if you put it on
right now, I'd probably cry this and you've seen it,
you know. And the Monsters University great movie.

Speaker 5 (01:13:43):
Uh have you ever seen University?

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
It's it's very good. It's very very good.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
I was convinced Shrek was Pixar and I was going
to take all four Shrek movies. Was mike draft plan.
And then I looked at the Wikipedia and Shrek is
not Pixar. So my draft strategy has been ruined.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Well, it'd be interesting, I guess to put fining just
not getting picked.

Speaker 5 (01:14:02):
It was interesting. Iding Dorry not getting picked was weird.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
I expected you both to pick the other cars movies.
For sure.

Speaker 4 (01:14:10):
I like cars.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
I like cars as well. Cars are so good, good chow.
I just put that in the Daily Sheet that I'm
trying to think, was there any other ones that really?
Coco's fine? Not really my favorite, didn't really care for Coco.
Elemental is fine kind of like a like a Romeo

(01:14:32):
and Juliet sort of story sort of thing going on there.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
Also suddenly little like if there was like elemental racism.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
Going on there, So.

Speaker 5 (01:14:41):
You never know what, you never know what you're gonna
deal with.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
