00:02 - Ramirez obviously is kind of the beginning
00:07 of the conversation.
00:08 You're right.
00:09 I mean, I'm not gonna say anything new or groundbreaking
00:12 about Jose Ramirez.
00:13 He has been one of the best assets in fantasy baseball
00:16 since I really, since he came, I guess, since 2017.
00:20 He didn't hit too many home runs in 2016, but he just is.
00:23 Yeah, he is kind of the Paul Goldschmidt,
00:25 just very steady dominance.
00:27 I probably would not actually be as into Austin Riley.
00:31 You're not getting any stolen bases there.
00:33 He actually probably loses in batting average to Devers,
00:36 might even lose in batting average to Machado.
00:38 It's just, I guess the thing with Riley is,
00:40 I mean, he could go out there
00:42 and just have like a pretty bad season at the plate,
00:45 but just get so many freaking counting numbers
00:47 because he is an Atlanta Brave.
00:49 He probably ends up getting 100 RBIs and 97 runs scored
00:54 just from batting where he bats in.
00:57 That Atlanta Braves lineup.
01:00 I mean, I think in terms of the top five,
01:02 the one who I am most into
01:05 is actually probably Gunnar Henderson.
01:06 I think I prefer Henderson to Eli De La Cruz
01:09 if we're talking about taking on some risk.
01:12 I definitely feel that Henderson will beat De La Cruz
01:15 in batting average, definitely won't beat him in steals.
01:18 You definitely are gonna get,
01:20 I mean, De La Cruz is the one who could go,
01:22 what do you think his absolute ceiling is?
01:24 Like 38 home runs and 62 stolen bases
01:28 or something like that
01:29 in terms of like 99th percentile outcome.
01:33 Whereas Henderson is gonna be more like 34 home runs
01:37 and 18 stolen bases, but just for one season,
01:40 he hits 303 or something like that.
01:43 That would be like the best season for him.
01:45 Now, the Orioles, they might end up being the best offense
01:50 in the American League East
01:51 or in the American League entirely if things,
01:54 if like all these young prospects
01:55 kind of hit their ceiling at the same time.
01:57 It's very unlikely, but it could happen.
02:00 It is crazy though, Craig.
02:02 I mean, you know the vibe I'm getting from Eli De La Cruz,
02:05 I'm getting some Mondesi vibes,
02:07 not in terms of the injury,
02:08 but in terms of everyone's just drafting him
02:11 because the only thing they can see is the ceiling,
02:14 but no one seems to care at all about the fact
02:17 that this guy like could get benched
02:19 or sent down to the minors.
02:20 Like it's a real possibility.
