00:00All right, National League Rookie of the Year, Rokie Sasaki and Dylan Cruz are going to take
00:04most of the money, but where are you leaning?
00:07I love Dylan Cruz. I think the projections are way too low on him.
00:10He's hitting between C.J. Abrams and James Wood. He's going to see a ton of fastballs,
00:14so give me Cruz at plus 350. And the other one to watch, my long shot, and I really like this one,
00:19is Luis Angel Acuna of the New York Mets. I don't think Jeff McNeil is going to be
00:23playing much longer at second base. Acuna had a monstrous AFL in Arizona,
00:29where he's just tearing the cover off the ball. He's athletic. He's young. He's got a lot of
00:33energy. I think Acuna might be the guy that sneaks into plus 3500. So I'm fading the chalk
00:37here, Matt. Where are you going for National League Rookie of the Year?
00:40Well, I originally was going to go to Jordan Lawler, but I am reading now that there may be
00:45some issues and he might be blocked, so we need to keep an eye on that. I would pivot to Dylan
00:50Cruz. I really like what's going to happen in Washington. There are some long shots. You can
00:54go to a guy like Davis Indela Santos that we talked about last year. I believe he was part
00:57of the Dynamax organization, now with Miami. If he plays, he has 40 home run power, and I'm a
01:03Cardinal fan, and they have no pitching, but in the pipeline, they have two kids, and one of them
01:07is Quinn Matthews, and I really think if Quinn Matthews comes up and does anything at all that's
01:11impressive for that Cardinal staff, people are going to look at him.
01:16I love Quinn Matthews. He's probably my favorite left-handed starting pitching prospect.
01:21I talked about him with Jeff. He was on his top 10 list, too. Quinn Matthews, to me, is a guy that
01:26should be in this rotation sooner than later. Again, I'm trying to favor the position players.
01:31Guys like Cruz is like a trivia, but keep a close eye on all your drafts on Quinn Matthews.
01:35Take him with a late pick because this dude is for real.
