00:00I mean, the Red Sox have a couple of incredible prospects, but I believe one is can't miss.
00:05It's this one, Roman Anthony.
00:07This guy, it reminds me a lot, George, of the Trevor Story spring that he had when he
00:15came up.
00:16This guy is incredible, man.
00:18He's been unstoppable.
00:19You can't get him out.
00:21He hit 18 home runs in the minor leagues last year.
00:23I think there's even a higher ceiling for him this year.
00:27There's some question as to whether or not Boston's going to hang on to these guys, maybe
00:30trade them for something.
00:31I don't see why they would.
00:33And by the way, can we start taking a look back at these drafts that the Red Sox have
00:36had?
00:37It seems like they've scored very big on this.
00:38They have a lot of prospects, too, which I know right now the Red Sox want to blame
00:44Heim Blum for everything.
00:45But if you're a Cardinals fan, you're kind of feeling like in a few years, maybe you're
00:48going to be in good shape based on what we're seeing here.
00:51So he's really scorching up these draft boards, George.
00:55So I don't know that there's any value in taking a player that we're just not positive
00:59what's going to happen come opening day.
01:00And we'll get to Christian Campbell here in a second, Christian Campbell.
01:05But yeah, I mean, this late draft, yes, I'm going to snag him and wait just because I
01:11think that there's some massive potential coming here.
01:13Looks like a great player.
01:14Once again, I have nothing to add here.
01:17I agree with you.
01:18The problem is I don't know if he's going to go earlier and earlier as the hype is going
01:24on here.
01:25I don't know if there's a place for him.
01:26You know, Brady right now is down.
01:28So if he's, you know, if he's going to start the season on the IL, that would help Roman
01:31Anthony.
01:32He is a superstar waiting to happen here.
01:34I think part of the reason why you're seeing the Red Sox or why you saw the Red Sox make
01:37some of the moves they've made during the offseason where they finally were active again
01:40is they know these players, Campbell, Anthony Meyer, they know these players are coming
01:45and they want to be good for when they do come up there to be that team.
01:49Boston is building it.
01:50You know, that's why they acquired Crochet as well.
01:51They knew that they have the hitting prospects.
01:54The pitching prospects is what they need here.
01:56So I like Anthony a whole bunch as well.
01:57I think it's a superstar waiting to happen here.
02:00Just don't know.
02:01I think you once again, you said it perfectly, you're going to need to be patient, you know,
02:05because you may not get it in April.
02:06This guy may be more of a June player where he takes off from there.
02:08So you're going to need to be patient.
02:10If you have at the end of your roster, you know, you want to turn your roster.
02:13I wouldn't turn him so quickly and he's not playing and want to be as patient as you possibly
02:17can with him.
02:18All right.
02:19So, you know, Christian Campbell also is there.
02:22It seems like he may have more of an initial opportunity to play and it's not to say that
02:26I don't like him.
02:27I really do a lot.
02:28I just, you know, I don't know.
02:30Are they thrusting him in right away?
02:31Is this the right move?
02:32I'm not sure.
02:33But he did hit 330 in the minors.
02:34He was a superstar there, 20-20, 77 runs driven in.
02:39George, do you get a sense?
02:41Do you want him on your opening day fantasy roster?
02:43Do you get a sense for what's going to happen here?
02:45Do they have to move things around for him to start or does he just get it?
02:49Well, now Devers is going to play D8.
02:51It works out perfectly.
02:52All right.
02:53Bregman should be your third baseman.
02:54Devers should be your D8.
02:56Campbell should be your second baseman.
02:57Whether or not they're going to do that or they're going to play, you know, a time game
03:00here and they keep him down for half of April or all of April, whatever, we can't be sure
03:04of that.
03:05But he's another guy.
03:06He's not Roman Anthony.
03:07He may be one tier down, but another guy where, I mean, you don't want to drift when you're
03:11starting second baseman.
03:12Middle infielder, I could probably live with if you find somebody else, but not your starting
03:15second baseman because you might have to eat it for a little bit here.
03:18I don't know what they're going to do.
03:19They could put Rafaela at second base and wait.
03:21I hope they don't do that.
03:22I hate when teams do that.
03:23But another really good player here that I want to see start the season with the team,
03:28but we don't know yet.
03:29This is why you want to draft as late as possible.
03:30All right.
03:31You can draft them at 26.
03:32That'd be great, you know, because we'll have more information of what's going to happen
03:36by then.
03:37But another player that I really like on the Sox.
03:39I think Anthony's the higher, you know, the higher ceiling, by the way, could be the better
03:43player.
03:44But Campbell may be the better guy this year.
03:46Could be.
03:47Good point.
03:48All right.
03:49So the Orioles have another player coming here, another offensive player.
03:53This time it's Kobe Mayo, who at 25 home runs in the minors last season.
03:59Remember the Orioles shipped out Norby and Stowers to Miami to open up some time for
04:04some of these other young players they have coming and Georgia just keep coming.
04:07So, you know, they have another young player named Judd Fabian, too, who I think should
04:11be on people's radar from the Orioles, a nice young outfielder who I think is going to play
04:15too.
04:16I think he's going to do a good job with hitting development there.
04:18So Santander is gone.
04:20Like, I think there's a spot here and I think that you're going to see probably 20 home
04:24runs for him sooner than later.
04:25I agree with everything you said.
04:28My problem with the Orioles is they have so many of these guys and we sort of saw it last
04:32year when some of these guys struggle, they go to the next guy, right, the next good prospect
04:36they have here.
04:37So that's my one issue here.
04:38There's so many of them here that we can go on on Calzer, Westbrook, Mayo, I mean Holiday.
04:45You go on and on and on here.
04:47So they can't all play.
04:49And I don't know how patient the Orioles are going to be if they struggle a little bit,
04:52you know, maybe as the player struggles or the team struggles and they don't want to
04:55fall behind here.
04:56The pitching staff, they're going to need to score runs because their pitching staff
04:59is sort of built to win.
05:00You're going to try to win 5-4 games.
05:01You're not winning 2-1, 3-2 games.
05:03You want to win 5-4.
05:04So you need the guys to hit.
05:05That's my only worry here.
05:07Like these guys more in Dynasty Leagues or Keeper Leagues than I do in Redraft Leagues
05:11right now.
