00:00We're talking with George here, and we're giving him players, different ADPs, and asking
00:04him whom he'd rather.
00:05With the starting pitcher position now, 58th player off the board is Michael King from
00:10San Diego.
00:11He should get close to 200 strikeouts with an ERA, pitching to maybe a 3-4 ERA.
00:15And Shote Imanaga, 62nd player off the board, pitched to a 3-1⁄2 ERA, give you 174 strikeouts.
00:21George, whom would you rather and why?
00:23I'm always going to like both guys here.
00:26Imanaga looked great, though, on the Tokyo series there.
00:29I think he'll be fine again here.
00:31People get all worried about Wrigley.
00:32We sort of forget that.
00:33The wind blows in much more often than it blows out at Wrigley.
00:36Yeah, when it's blowing out, OK, it's—and listen, you need to check that.
00:40All right?
00:41Wind's blowing out here.
00:42All right?
00:43Not starting Imanaga that day.
00:44I'm not starting.
00:45I'm going to get all my bats in if you're betting.
00:46I'm going to start paying some home run props on the over there.
00:49And I do check the wind.
00:50You have to.
00:51It's blowing out here.
00:52You know there's going to be a lot of runs.
00:53Blowing in is the exact opposite of that.
00:54We take a bazooka at a home run there.
00:56So I like Imanaga a bunch here.
00:58That being said, Michael King.
01:00This guy may be your top free agent pitcher in Major League Baseball next offseason.
01:04Think about that for a second.
01:06He has become that good.
01:07He's got that sweeping curveball.
01:09I like King a little bit better than Imanaga, mainly for the strikeouts.
01:13You already mentioned that.
01:14He's going to get you about, you know, one extra strikeout per start.
01:17It's really what he does here.
01:18But I have no problem with either guy here.
01:20And if the price was immensely different—in this case it's not, the only difference
01:23is maybe half a round here.
01:25That's why I'll go with the King.
01:26If the price is a round, then I would take Imanaga.
01:29I'll take the better ADP here.
01:31But Michael King, probably not getting as much love as he should.
