| 0:28.2 | always, on Sunday night by Jeff Erickson. Jeff, you are drafting some Tout Wars, I believe, out in New York. |
| 0:34.0 | How's everything with you? Good, good. It was a great weekend. I drafted ATal Wars. I was the auctioneer for mixed tail wars and I ran the board for head-to-head tail wars. So very busy weekend. Just did my home league tonight from the hotel. Just lots of draft talk. I don't know a lot about your board running, but I know you're an excellent auctioneer, so I do know that. Thank you. Thank you. It was fun. It was a little fun. It's just jam-packed weekend. Not a moment to spare, but hey, it's a good life we have. It is, it is. And we got NFPC main event, you and I go to Vegas this weekend. There have been 12 main events drafted already. Always fun to kind of take a first look at these i want to talk a few observations from these uh the first thing |
| 1:14.3 | i noticed was the first one of the first Vegas this weekend. There have been 12 main events drafted already. Always fun to kind of take a |
| 1:10.8 | first look at these. I want to talk a few observations from these. The first thing I noticed was the first round, Jose Ramirez has fallen out of the top six. He's a 80p through 12 drafts. It's 8.2 right now. He's a minimum of six. 11 is his max. So like it's very clear. Acuna's an 80p is 5.3. So there's a very clear now top six. |
| 1:28.8 | J. Ram's not in it. |
| 1:30.1 | And then it's J clear. Acuna's an 80p is 5.3. So there's a very clear now top six. J. Ram's not in it. And then it's J. Ram, Scheen, Ellie, Crochet, and Julio are all, all under 1080P. But what are your thoughts on that? Just a little bit of lacking the sexiness of Akunia and Soto? I thought, if anything, he'd be pushed up because of the third base, third base scarcity there. But I get Acuna. I mean, he's running like crazy. He looks great. So I see that. And, yeah, the insecurity about starting pitchers at the top, you know, how that always happens in Mains. I mean, Garrett Crochet's got a men pick of six. So you can see there's a league where someone pushed him over J-RAM. |
| 2:01.7 | Jamie Rams fall into 11-1 league. |
| 2:04.8 | But yeah, hey, if I get the eighth pick, we'll find out tomorrow on that. |
| 2:10.3 | And J-Rams there, great. |
| 2:12.4 | I don't want the eighth pick. |
| 2:13.8 | I'd like something sooner, but I'll take it if I get it. |
| 2:16.5 | I'm just going to go straight butter with my KDS. Yeah, I think I am too. I might, definitely the top seven or eight. I'm going to go straight. I might morph a few there based on what I like in the early second round versus the mid-second round. I think it's going to be pretty much straight butter for me. Hashtag Matt Modica for the straight butter. He coined that one many years ago. I love that one. But yeah, he's fallen. |
| 2:34.5 | Pitchers are really being pushed up like in the second and third round especially there are a ton of pitchers go in the closers are the closers are wild but i've noticed that with those pitchers sliding up there's a lot of like second and third round headers they're sliding down uh tray turner's ADP in the main event so far is 37. |
