00:00Just like, you know, water gun to your head, like, who do you, like, who do you think's
00:04gonna win?
00:05Like, I, I, I mean, I have to answer that same question, so I'll go first in the interest
00:10of just, like, not having you go out on a limb first.
00:14I think Wells is gonna win.
00:16Like, I, I just think he's the safest bet.
00:19Like, both, both war accumulations value him a lot.
00:24Couser has the problem where one values him a ton, and the other does not, Beware does
00:28not like him very much.
00:29Some voters will use both, some will use one, some will use the other, tends to be kind
00:32of an aggregate of both.
00:34Wells is safer in both of those.
00:37You're right about the hitting.
00:38I also like that Wells was, like, a big prospect at the start of the season who people thought
00:43could win this award, so he's, like, he's kind of like Langford, right, he's, like,
00:45in everyone's brains.
00:46It doesn't take a lot.
00:47He's not out of nowhere, it's just, oh, here he is again.
00:50The guy that we knew already seems, he bats clean up for the Yankees, so in tie situations,
00:58you know, now, granted, he could be a tie against his own teammate and we could have
01:00Harris versus Strider part two with a pitcher and the hitter for the Yankees, which the
01:04hitter won.
01:05I, I think I would pick, I don't say that confidently that would be Wells over Couser
01:10and heel.
01:11I think all three can win.
01:12I'll say Wells just today before any game tonight, before anything, what would you say?
01:17I would say Couser, honestly, because the thing with Wells too, that scares me is he
01:21might get bumped down an order.
01:24Giancarlo Stanton comes back tonight and just traded for jazz Chisholm.
01:28I think he could be moved up in that lineup.
01:29I think that the Yankees change, like he can still hit really well, but it's just, I'm
01:32a little less interested if he's hitting seventh or eighth, as opposed to fourth.
01:36Cause I don't think he's going to hit fourth forever in that lineup.
01:39And I think cows are like, if he's going to play every day and people love the Orioles
01:43and they love the Yankees too, obviously.
01:45But I mean, all this guy does is hit home runs.
01:47The batting average sucks, but he just hits mammoth home runs and big moments.
01:52Now you're going to tell me he's playing every day.
01:54That makes me think that that's a guy that that's going to win egg because Wells is better
01:59all around.
02:00You're right.
02:01He's safer.
02:02But for me, it's Couser.
02:03Sure.
02:04And I would have cows are second to be fair.
02:05Like, I think it's, it's a really interesting argument between those two players.
02:08Whereas like Wells has some obvious drawbacks, like Trevino, what happens standing back tonight?
02:14Like you mentioned where, what, what two weeks from now, where as well as hitting in the
02:17lineup, is he like a big part of the offense in September?
02:20Like these are really interesting questions.
02:22It's just like, if he can dodge those landmines, then he wins more often than Couser does probably,
02:28but he has to dodge them.
02:29And Couser doesn't have those things that he has to dodge any more.
02:32It seems like he doesn't have those anymore.
02:34He had his own things a month ago where he wasn't playing all the time.
02:37And now those things have kind of moved in the, in the right direction.
02:39So, but I think that's the debate though.
02:41And he'll can pitch tonight and be the third person.
02:44And then it's fun with the three of those guys, or he can be bad and maybe it's not
02:47the three of those guys.
02:48But I think that's it.
02:49I mean, Jake said cold Keith, 1%.
02:52Did I not mention any other name that's interesting here in like 30 seconds?
02:56Not really.
02:57Like, I think RIP the Brooks Lee tickets, that was fun for about three days.
03:01But yeah, I mean, it's like, I think, I think Keith is the only guy that could make this
03:06interesting.
03:07Otherwise it's one of those three.
03:08I think also like something with Wells, this is unlikely, but as I'm talking about and
03:11thinking about it, like, what if the Tigers say, Hey, you can have scuba, but we want
03:15Wells.
03:16Like, what if that happens and the Yankees trade him?
03:18Like I, not that I'm expecting that, or even that I've seen even a tweet about it, but
03:22it's something that's in the back of my brain as we're talking about it.
03:25Well, and why not wait a day anyway?
03:28Why not?
03:29Why not?
03:30Then you really want to wait till after tonight's start.
03:31Cause then the trade deadline, like then, then you get the trade deadline out of it
03:33too.
03:34Like see what happens the next 36 hours, but kind of know he's positioned really well along
03:37with cows or anything.
03:38That's really smart.
