00:00All right, now, Robert Suarez, this is a player that I don't know that I could trust going into the season.
00:05I'm not really high on him.
00:0759 strikeouts, but we've heard so much going on in the offseason with him, George.
00:11Yeah, I mean, he's in a great spot.
00:14We saw another potential player go down for the Pirates, or I'm sorry, for the Padres with an oblique injury.
00:20That's Matt Waldron.
00:21Can Suarez hold this job down?
00:24I think he can.
00:27I don't trust him either, by the way.
00:29I'm not drafting him.
00:30I also think they're going to move him eventually.
00:32I think that'd be one of the players that San Diego's going to move for whatever they want to get.
00:35Then the ownership issues, they might want to save some money here.
00:38And I don't know if he'll be a closer on a new team.
00:40So, that's my worries with him.
00:42So, I said, I don't cross him off.
00:46You know, there are some players I cross, I'm not drafting this guy.
00:49He's not crossed off, but I'd have to be at the wrong end of a run is really what it comes down to.
00:55He's the only guy left here.
00:57I need somebody.
00:58Somebody's got to close.
00:59So, I grab him.
01:00I am not looking for him.
01:01I do have worries about him.
01:02He's not somebody I want on my team.
01:05All right.
01:05And look, I think when you look at it, you know, we talked about him last week.
01:10And I want to dive into him again this week because Ryan Walker's sort of a closer that came out of nowhere, George, for the Giants last year.
01:18Everyone thought Camilo Doval was going to be the lockdown guy.
01:22It ended up Walker.
01:23And he won a lot of games because he basically was coming in a lot of tie games, too.
01:28Oh, gosh.
01:28If I knew that he was the closer all season long, he may be one of my favorites, but Dicey, to say the least.
01:34Yeah, right.
01:35I mean, Doval was a top three, top four guy last year at draft time, right?
01:39Once again, closers, man, they can drive you absolutely insane.
01:42And he spit the bit, lost the job, and Walker looked great.
01:45I mean, absolutely great, but I don't feel great about it either.
01:48All right, is it?
01:50If you would guarantee me he's going to be a closer all year, he's a top three.
01:53Once again, he's probably a top five guy, but I don't know if he will be.
01:55San Fran's going to play a lot of close games, you know, so there certainly is a chance for it to be there.
02:02So, I do like him somewhat as that.
02:05Listen, if I end up with him, we're going to have to end up with some of these guys.
02:08You don't have a choice, all right?
02:09We can't avoid all of them.
02:10So, yeah, Walker I'm okay with, but yeah, there's some worry at the back of my mind that he's not going to have the job.
02:15I like guys like Munoz and Duran more.
02:18All right, fair enough.
02:19We got a lot more to cover here on the show before we get out of here, coming up in 20 minutes.
02:23I think that we've got some great, great opportunities here to help you out in fantasy.
02:27A little buy or sell coming up.
02:30Make sure you stick with us.
02:31More fantasy sports today coming up after these quick messages.
02:34And also, don't forget, oh, we got one more.
02:38Sorry.
02:39Tanner Scott.
02:39My bad.
02:40Tanner Scott.
02:42Tanner Scott, last one.
02:43My bad here.
02:44Let me, if I could take you behind the scenes and show you what happened.
02:48I'm out of scrolling ability here on the show.
02:51In the middle of my show, my scroller went down and it's gone.
02:55So, I'm just looking for Tanner Scott.
02:59Is he a mid-tier?
03:00Is he even a closer at this point?
03:01I don't know.
03:01LA has so many players.
03:04Well, that's going to be the problem.
03:05Dave Ramos has pretty much told us that, yeah, it could be some Scott.
03:08Could be a little this guy, a little that.
03:09They're not going to have one closer.
03:11All right, Kirby Yates is there, right?
03:12That's going to be an issue.
03:15Listen, if we all knew who the closer was going to be for the Dodgers all year long, we're all running out to get this guy.
03:20All right?
03:20Because once you get the Dodgers, they're going to win.
03:22I'm not even joking.
03:23The over-under is 103 and a half.
03:25The record is 117.
03:27They might set both.
03:28All right?
03:28I took their over, by the way.
03:29I think they'll get more than 103 and a half, but I took it last year as well.
03:32So, I think they're going to mix and match, you know?
03:36So, listen, Scott's still going to get 20 saves.
03:38You know, when he got 22 last year, he could get that much.
03:40If he is the closer all year long, he could get 30, 40.
03:43But I don't know if he's going to be that guy.
03:45That being said, I probably would put him in the next category, maybe top of the low-tier closers rather than the mid-tier, because I think he is going to split it.
03:54You know, he's not going to have the job fully to himself.
