Welcome to Rates and Beryls. It is Thursday, January 23rd, Derek Van Riper, Enoceris here with you, continuing the position preview series, part two out of three, focusing on outfielders yesterday, day one of the outfield previews.

We got through about pick 120 overall in terms of the outfielders we covered, so you can go back and listen to that.

If you want the early outfielders, if you want these mid-round guys, we're going to focus on them for the next 90 minutes or so.

It's kind of funny because there are no real tears in the outfield at this point.

They're all just connected to each other with very small gaps. Nevertheless, we'll try and find

some values along the way and maybe point out a few players

that we're not excited about at their current prices as well.

Join our Discord with the link in the show description within the Discord.

You can find links to the hive mind rankings for all the position previews that have gone

out so far.

So the infield, all available and the outfield, which is deeper, goes 50 players.

If you're going to participate in those rankings, all those links are in the Discord.

Be sure to jump in and do that. We'd love to compile those and share those with everybody

once we get a nice batch of those in. You know, how's going for you on this Thursday?

Good. good.

I'm going to see a show tonight.

Excited about that.

Continuing the arguments about the Dodgers.

I got, I looked and in the last four years, you know, Chad Young brought something up. So I looked in the last four years, six of the top 10 in playoff wins have come from the top ten in payroll

and two have come from the bottom ten in payroll and two from the middle. So there might be

some evidence that money can buy you championships, I guess.

But there was another piece out from baseball prospectus that looked at teams' ability to change their win totals year to year.
