00:03 So here we are, Fantasy Sports, today.
00:05 I love when they get the smile, the true, genuine smile.
00:08 Fantasy Sports today, Matt and Joe with you.
00:10 It's time for 3 Up and 3 Down.
00:11 I'll let you respond, and I'll let you talk about what
00:13 Kyle Tucker is doing.
00:14 He's a bright spot.
00:15 Yeah, Kyle Tucker has definitely been a bright spot.
00:17 Talk about a guy that's had a fantastic start to the season.
00:21 The last seven days have been no joke whatsoever.
00:23 But Kyle Tucker on the year, the stats have been great.
00:25 He was a first round talent with good reason,
00:27 and he's delivering.
00:29 Three homers in the last seven days from Friday to Friday,
00:31 six runs, eight RBI, and a 316 batting average with a 1466 OPS.
00:36 Thank goodness for Kyle Tucker, ladies and gentlemen,
00:38 on the year as well.
00:39 Let's just say, five homers, 17 RBIs, got four steals.
00:42 So he's giving you power.
00:43 He's giving you speed.
00:44 This guy's in his prime.
00:45 He's got an OBP mat of 400 on the season so far.
00:48 At age 27, this is not even peak Kyle Tucker.
00:52 There's a possibility we're going to see another leap.
00:55 So now it becomes a conversation of,
00:57 was Kyle Tucker undervalued, potentially,
01:00 going into the draft?
01:00 I saw him kind of floating around there,
01:02 anywhere from 5 to 10 sometimes, going as late as.
01:06 So Kyle Tucker, I think, is one of these assets
01:08 in these Keeper League, Dynasty League formats
01:10 that I think has got to be referred to as a top five now.
01:14 If you're looking for holes in the game, I just don't see it.
01:17 As long as Alvarez stays healthy, too,
01:19 he's going to have that line of protection now.
01:21 Granted, what's going to get tricky here is you
01:22 start to get guys like Altuve starting to get a little older,
01:25 what happens there, the low profitos of the world,
01:27 like this next group that's coming for the Astros,
01:30 hopefully they deliver.
01:32 Because we all remember, the Astros
01:34 are missing draft picks for a few years.
01:36 So they didn't get to necessarily restock
01:38 that farm system the way they wanted to.
01:39 And they made a big deal last year
01:41 dealing a bunch of prospects to the Mets for Justin Verlander,
01:44 if you recall.
01:45 So some of the guys are out of that system,
01:46 the Drew Gilberts of the world.
01:47 Those guys are gone.
01:48 So what are we going to look forward
01:50 to next for the Astros?
01:51 They've got a hit on a couple other guys.
01:53 That's very important if they're going
01:54 to continue to be competitive.
01:55 It's been a sluggish start to the year for them.
01:57 But overall, Kyle Tucker, again, at age 27,
02:01 he is just entering his prime.
02:03 And he has been so good.
02:06 I mean, outside of what, Acuna, Julio Rodriguez,
02:09 I'm trying to think of some other guys
02:10 that you would covet and fancy over Kyle Tucker.
02:13 There's not a whole lot of them, Matt.
02:15 (upbeat music)
