00:00All right, now let's go to some of George's sleepers here.
00:02And again, these are players that are drafted a lot higher.
00:05Zach Gelof, his ADP is 248.
00:07Oakland is now no longer in the conversation.
00:11So it's Sacramento.
00:12And really, we don't know how that park is going to play.
00:15But if we're drafting Brent Rooker very high based on that,
00:18why not Gelof, George?
00:19I think this is a great choice.
00:21And some people feel like it was a pretty lackadaisical year
00:25for him, subpar year.
00:27I mean, Gelof was projected to hit 260, 270.
00:29He only hit 211 last year.
00:31He did steal 25 and hit 17.
00:34If he does this exactly and raises his batting average 30
00:37points, that ADP should be inside the top 200.
00:41Agreed.
00:42I think I should be better than that.
00:44Now, the 211 is concerning.
00:46And why?
00:46You said a lackadaisical.
00:48What's going on there?
00:49I think all of the A's should have better offensive numbers.
00:51You're not playing in Oakland, all right,
00:53which is that cool marine air that keeps that ball down.
00:57All that extra foul territory, gone.
01:00Sacramento, it's hot as hell, all right?
01:02The ball is going to travel there.
01:03So I think they all hit their numbers here.
01:05I love Gelof, Rooker, Butler, Langleyers.
01:09I like all these guys.
01:10I think all their numbers go up.
01:11All their numbers go up.
01:13So yeah, I'm big on Gelof.
01:14I think his ADP is crazy at the door today, 248, 250.
01:16It's 10-team.
01:18I think it's 25th round.
01:19That's nuts, all right?
01:20I wouldn't have much problem with Gelof starting
01:22second baseman for me, more or less a middle infielder.
01:25The Ares concerns me.
01:26I think it'll be better.
01:27That's not saying much.
01:28220 is not going to help you a whole lot,
01:29hell of a lot either here.
01:31But I think he can, you said 240.
01:33I'll take that run with the bag he's going to get.
01:35I think he does get 20 home runs as well.
01:36I'll take that.
01:38All right, now Sam has jumped into the mix here,
01:41our producer.
01:41He's got one that he likes.
01:42So let's throw one out there for him.
01:44Ryan O'Hearn, boy, talk about a resurrected career
01:47in Baltimore, just toiling in Kansas City
01:50with those offenses, George, that couldn't score at all.
01:53And then all of a sudden he goes to Baltimore
01:55and he's a 15 home run guy last year.
01:57And a lot of people think that there's even more there
01:59to him.
02:00Now, young players are coming.
02:02And O'Hearn, like a lot of the Orioles,
02:04you made a really good point earlier in the show.
02:06A lot of those Orioles are not going to be able to maintain
02:10if they do not hit.
02:12Is Hearn going to hit?
02:15Yes, but you already said it.
02:17Where's he going to play?
02:18Mountcastle, O'Hearn, Mayo, Holiday, Westburg.
02:21I mean, you keep going on and on with these guys here.
02:24Kauser, O'Neal, they brought in, right?
02:26I don't know why they brought in O'Neal.
02:27They can't all play.
02:29They can't all play.
02:30The good thing about O'Hearn is he's the lefty, right?
02:32So he'll be on the correct side of the platoon
02:34if he's platooning with Mountcastle.
02:35So that could be good news there.
02:37So listen, I like O'Hearn.
02:39I think if he played, you know, you give him 500 at-bats,
02:42not even saying six, give him 500 at-bats,
02:44I think 20 plus home runs are coming.
02:46An average that won't hurt you,
02:48but it won't help you either.
02:50But right in the middle there, you'll be fine here.
02:51And he'll drive in 80 runs.
02:54I love this one.
02:54They brought the fence.
02:55I don't know if the fence is gonna help him.
02:56He's a lefty.
02:57But they did bring the fences back in here at Camden.
03:00I'm more for the right-handed batters, not left.
03:02So I like him.
03:03I just don't know where the playing time is.
03:05Once again, as a utility DH guy on your bench,
03:09a backup, like that a lot.
03:11Yeah, and finally, we go for some stolen bases here.
03:14We got Sal Frelick, 18 stolen bases.
03:17We know he's not gonna hit for a ton of power.
03:19The one thing, George, that's good about him,
03:20every day, right?
03:21Plays great defense.
03:23You know you're getting 500-plate appearances of healthy.
03:26Yeah, once again, bags.
03:27All right, bags and errors is not gonna hurt you there.
03:30So yeah, I have no problem with Sal Frelick here.
03:33Once again, these are the kind of guys
03:34that I need to draft more of.
03:36And I know that,
03:36because I need to protect my stolen bases,
03:38which I don't do a good job of.
