00:02 - With that said, let's pivot to the perfect player.
00:07 Brand new, well, not brand new, but same digs,
00:10 but finally back again, new money, if you will.
00:14 And now is the ADP still wrong, Joe?
00:17 I'll let you take it from here.
00:19 - Well, that's the big question, right?
00:20 We had Cody Bellinger on this list
00:22 because we didn't know where he was gonna end up.
00:23 Now these end up on the Cubs, it's less wrong.
00:26 It's still not perfect.
00:28 Last year, 26 homers, 20 steals, hit .307,
00:31 but this was also a guy that in previous two seasons
00:33 struggled mightily with batting average.
00:36 So maybe getting out of LA was a good thing,
00:37 maybe just a new voice in his ear, who knows?
00:40 It was a contract year where he peaked,
00:42 could also be that too.
00:43 That's the concern when it comes to Cody Bellinger,
00:46 is which of these variables do we wanna believe in?
00:49 And when you have players who are inconsistent,
00:51 who have big peaks and valleys over entire seasons,
00:54 that becomes difficult investments.
00:56 Now, Cody Bellinger, that ADP actually has fallen
00:58 a little bit since we even put the show together.
01:00 It was down to 54, I think right now overall.
01:04 And you're looking at some of the guys
01:06 around Cody Bellinger going after.
01:08 Paul Goldschmidt, who I know was a little bit
01:10 of a down year last year,
01:11 but he's a perennial 30, 100, 100 guy.
01:14 Nolan Jones in Colorado, cheaper, more interesting.
01:17 Matt McClain, another player I'd like to have on my roster.
01:20 Alex Bregman, who's again, 20, 25 home runs.
01:24 Maybe he's not gonna give you the stolen bases,
01:26 but he is gonna give you the RBI potential
01:29 and the run scored.
01:30 So there's a lot of hitters, even Royce Lewis,
01:32 who was a really intriguing piece we talked about earlier.
01:35 There's a lot of other hitters right around or after.
01:38 And I think that's where I pivot
01:39 and maybe take a picture of Bellinger's on the board.
01:41 And all those guys are still there
01:42 because first base I can find guys like Kassus,
01:45 guys like Goldschmidt, guys like even Torkelson later.
01:48 I think there's a lot of avenues there.
01:50 And the outfield is a little trickier,
01:52 but Bellinger is one of those pieces to be aware of.
