More on that in a moment. Welcome to Fantasy-based wall today, normal show, Adam Scott. Now with you here, we're gonna talk about some red hot twins, Lucas G. Alito's 2017 debut.

Did I just say Adam Scott and Al? Yeah, I said normal show.

Force of habit, Al. Al milk you from 2011. Yeah, yeah, right. What's up Al Vokier? How you doing?

Hey, do it great. Fun to be back. It is awesome to have you here. Where was back? What's got was about a month ago? You hosted the show Scott.

Yeah, right during all star break. It was a two-year bus joined by Chris midway through. Yeah, who cares? I wasn't there. I don't care.

That's all that's been keep me busy. Oh, and fanrag fancy baseball on fancy sports network. Yes, yes. You're a podcaster now. I am. I hope you've learned a lot from your time with us.

You brought it. You think of Adam as a mentor for you. It taught me everything I know. So we've got a best. Just like a by example. Exactly. Yeah, we sit down and, you know, have a seminar or anything.

All right, let's talk. Let's talk baseball. Al, I'll let you lead the show. What's the big story that you want to talk about on this Wednesday afternoon?

You know, there's so much to get to here. Well, you know, let's let's start with the Josh Donaldson thing. Because, you know, even if you're not in the thick of it and your races this year, I mean, that's that's a big potentially big impact for next year.

And I was surprised because I got a Twitter question a couple days ago about whether or not Donaldson was going to continue play shortstop.

And I said, oh, this has just got to be a temporary thing. And then, like an hour after that, I saw a report that you might be playing there regularly. So that seems to be the case for right now. So, yeah, it's it's a I think it puts up on close to a par with cause. Kareya for next year.

Yeah, that's interesting. 20 games. You think you think it's likely he'll get that many.

Right now we're just looking at five for this year. Is it four right now? Right. It gets one more. He'll be shortstop eligible to close out 2017.

But it'll take 15 beyond that for 2018. And I'm, you know, maybe, but I'll take the under on it, but it is a possibility.

Yeah, it's not it's not crazy talk at this point. Well, I think he's clearly top five just rest of this season.
