00:00one of the surprisingly good starts in baseball this season has come from ron washington's los
00:11angeles angels you have mike trout although his batting average is very low uh home runs more
00:16than anybody else in baseball right now and they've gotten some nice young prospects players
00:21called up playing well as well joe buy or sell the la angels will finish the season
00:27in third place or better this season in the nl west buy or sell oh this is tricky right because
00:36everyone's hitting home runs all over the place you know we talked about that oakland sacramento
00:41sorry the uh sorry not the oakland the athletics just athletics ballpark i want to get a little
00:47bit more information about the steinbrenner field too because i know the rays don't hit any home
00:51runs there but it seems like their opponents are hitting a crap ton so i want to i want to know a
00:55little bit more about that one but i don't think the angels can keep this up soriano's been really
00:59good i want to throw that out there give him some credit trout's been terrific karen paris has been
01:03wonderful to start the year but what i'm looking at is the rotation of the mariners over a long
01:09period of time eventually winning out i'm i know the houston astros are not the juggernaut team they
01:13used to be but i imagine they will piece things together and continue to figure it out as they
01:19are different you know when you lose kyle tucker and you lose alex bregman two pieces you've had
01:24for a long time i think that it takes a while to adjust and some other people need to step into
01:28those roles and then the texas rangers who you know although i am not holding my breath for jacob
01:33de grum to be great i still think that lineup is very good so if the athletics are plucky i don't think
01:39the angels can hang on but it's been a nice start to the year and ron washington is a great manager so
01:43i'm not surprised that he's getting these guys to play hard at least in the early going but i'm going to
01:48sell this one i don't think the angels can hang on in this division okay i am going to uh play that
01:54card as well sell i don't believe in the angels at all uh you know i i think there's a chance that
02:00the a's are better but i i you know when when the the players that they signed this offseason just
02:06kind of felt like we got to spend some money and i wasn't really sure if if that's gonna i i still
02:11could see the a's finishing last basically is what i'm trying to stay but i i don't see the angels
02:15finishing much more above that i mean kyle hendrix yeah i mean yeah they've gotten some really good
02:20starts and and really hot starts to some offensive players but i got to agree with joe here i don't
02:24buy this i think seattle is absolutely better than them texas rangers definitely better as well and
02:29then it just depends on uh you know sort of how the division rounds out all right uh let's go down
02:34to waiver claims you know my son is playing in a fantasy league for the first time this year
02:39and he made a bunch of moves and he's like i'm done i can't make any more moves i've made
02:44my maximum this week i'm like wow you're being penalized for making moves okay that's fair uh
02:49joe buy or sell league should limit the amount of waiver claims that each team can make
02:53per week i mean i don't think that this exists in the roto leagues probably it's just for head-to-head
02:59yeah it's for head-to-head but more importantly it's for these daily transaction leagues that you see
03:04where everyone's just streaming everybody and you're just trying to get as many
03:07possible points or as many possible categories filled as you can i don't see the point in this
03:13because you're penalizing somebody for being an active owner plus the more active they are
03:17sometimes they're actually in a spot where they're dropping good talent back to the waiver wire for
03:22other people to pick up so if you're paying attention there's gamesmanship here but to me
03:26i don't think you should have a limitation on it but i am not one of these lunatics that likes to
03:30play in the daily transaction leagues because i have several jobs i have two children i coach and i
03:34don't have time for that kind of nonsense i like to set it during the week and then waivers run once
03:38and then this is what you do and you live and die by that so i'm gonna sell if if you if you get an
03:45opportunity to be in a daily transaction league that means you're a lunatic let people be lunatics
03:49let them have fun i mean make as many claims as you want for better or worse craig
03:53yeah i just think you have to know the expectations going into the beginning of the season and who's going
03:58to play hard and who's not going to play at all um but look i i think it's definitely a sell for me
04:05in roto leagues but i i could see a buy in the head-to-head leagues with points and in things of
04:12that nature so i'm actually going to buy this for uh head-to-head leagues because because i don't i
04:18don't want to see just a league being determined by who makes the most transactions but i don't think
04:22like i think my son's league is six i don't think that that's enough uh you know for a week i think i
04:26look with all these injuries happening you got to make more you know i would say maybe double
04:30six that's it i'm in one that i i am in one that has daily transactions because i have to because
04:36it's a company league and i and it drives me crazy but it's 15 in the one i'm yeah i was going to say
04:40double that yeah double that that's what i was going to do now
