Summary

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and Barrels. It's Friday, January 26th, Derek Ben-Riper, |
| 0:19.0 | Eno Seris, here with you, part three of our |
| 0:22.0 | outfield preview. |
| 0:23.5 | And we're going right into the outfield preview. |
| 0:25.8 | No detours today, which is nice after the day everybody was having on Thursday. |
| 0:31.7 | And yesterday we closed things up part way through ADP tier number nine. |
| 0:37.1 | We're in the late, late stages. |
| 0:39.1 | We're around pick 300 right now as we look at players at this position. |
| 0:43.6 | So continuing, right where we left off yesterday, we're looking at a group that includes |

| 1:14.5 | Who do you like from this group? |
| 1:16.2 | Parker Meadows. |
| 1:18.1 | I don't think that he hits the ball enough to be hard enough to be a superstar or a star. |
| 1:25.9 | But I do think that he hits the ball hard enough to be a major |
| 1:30.3 | league player and to have maybe averageish power. What's nice about that is he has averageish |
| 1:38.3 | contact, averageish patience, averageish power, above average speed. |
| 1:45.0 | So it's the kind of thing that will translate, I think, |
| 1:48.6 | to maybe a two and a half three-win player |
