00:00Let's go to the National League, because speaking of a lot out there, there's far more options.
00:04National League Comeback Player of the Year for this upcoming season, we talked about
00:07Sandy Alcantara, Ronald Acuna Jr., remember him, Spencer Strider, Brandon Woodruff, Matt
00:13McClain, Kodai Senga, the list goes on and on.
00:17Joe, there's an obvious choice here, and there's some nice money attached to it.
00:22Yeah, look, there's a lot of good choices here, and just, you know, for the record,
00:26just because the Mets had a nice little run last year, it doesn't make me not a self-loathing
00:29Met fan, okay?
00:30If I'm giving you a Met, it's in spite of my fandom, in spite of my fandom, and not
00:37because of my fandom, believe me.
00:40This one's tougher.
00:41Matt McClain, certainly a really interesting one at plus 650.
00:44I worry about Woodruff being able to sustain, you know, the hell through the whole season.
00:47Spencer Strider's not going to come back until hopefully midway through the season, maybe,
00:51so that's a risky one to me.
00:54The one that stands out is Ronald Acuna, who last year missed pretty much all the season,
01:00plus 500.
01:01It's a great return.
01:02He's an everyday player.
01:03I think these awards sometimes are a little bit easier for everyday players, so I'm going
01:05to go with Ronald Acuna, a guy who is not that far removed from, you know, a 40-70 season.
01:11I mean, the guy's unbelievably good.
01:13Now, he might miss that first month of the season, but that's okay.
01:17Five good months of Ronald Acuna is all you need, and if he gets back to being Ronald
01:20Acuna, just like he did two years ago when he came back from that other knee, people
01:24were worried.
01:25Remember, oh, man, I don't know if he's going to be able to seal bases again or all this
01:27stuff.
01:28He was great, so hopefully now two good knees, Ronald Acuna is that guy, but who is that
01:33guy for you that stands out for National League Rookie of the Year?
01:37So I like that you said it should be an everyday player because those players stay in your
01:41mind more.
01:42I'm going to give you Trey Turner.
01:44I can't find a number on him, but like I said, it's still early in the wagering season,
01:49but I think this year the Phils have everything.
01:51If they have a good lineup, I think it gets even better with a guy like Max Kepler.
01:55The staff has a big three.
01:56We talk about that all the time, and they add Jesus Lozado.
02:00They have a really good bullpen, a lot of good names, so give me Trey Turner on a resurgent
02:05Philly team to get that Comeback Player of the Year award.
02:09Look at you.
02:10I give you all these good options, and you go completely off the board.
02:14This is it.
02:15This is going to be the next six months.
02:16I can feel it in my bones.
02:17This is it right here.
