00:00 Brandon Nimmo. Look, a guy that always gets on base, right? 360 clip last year. He's had
00:08 higher OBPs in the past. But if you look at where he's going currently in drafts, the
00:13 average draft position is somewhere in the one 60 range. He's at one 63. He's coming
00:17 off a season where he scored 89 runs, hit 24 homers. Now he only had 68 RBI. That's
00:22 because of his lineup placements at the top of the order because of the OBP. He doesn't
00:26 steal out of bases. Okay, fine. Three bags last year. We'll throw that out. But he had
00:30 273. Brandon Nimmo is grossly undervalued, especially in those head to head points formats.
00:34 I keep coming back to that because this was a spike in power last year. He's never going
00:38 to be a guy who steals bases. That's not his game. But are you going to get a 275 average
00:44 or 270 average? Are you going to get 20 homers? Are you going to get a guy who scores 90 runs?
00:49 Probably. And I think when you're looking in this range of player, it's kind of absurd
00:52 that he's going so cheap at, uh, there's so many guys after him, Tommy Edmund, Steven
00:57 Kwan. I mean, Kwan gives you different stuff. I understand that we're talking about batting
01:02 average with Kwan and stolen bases, but he only had five homers last year. We're talking
01:05 about a guy who could hit 20 more home runs. So if you're looking for some power later,
01:10 Brandon Nimmo spike in power is, is not absurd. I think if you look at the projectability
01:14 of this player, he was somebody that the Mets did target. They did sign and you could see
01:20 already, they understand the player he's developing into, but I don't think the rest of the league
01:24 has figured it out. Everybody talks about a lawns over. We've talked about Lindor, but
01:28 if those guys are going to have good seasons, Nimmo is going to be ahead of them getting
01:32 on base scoring runs. And I think that's the thing that's most intriguing. And in OBP leagues,
01:37 you're playing in two, whether it be head to head Roto or season long Roto Nimmo is
01:41 also a big, uh, piece of that puzzle too. And I think he gets undervalued. And currently
01:48 the market is just not catching up to it. So to me, when you're looking for outfield
01:52 late Riley green, Brandon Nimmo, those are two guys you should be targeting in all your
01:56 drafts.
