Summary

Julio Rodriguez was a top-5 picks in most drafts, but he's currently a bad hitter on a bad offense playing on a bad ankle, meaning that he won't give you stolen bases. Is he perhaps a drop for 2024? Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson explore that question and hone in on some second-half trends. --- 00:00 - Fred Pod 08-27 00:45 - Fred: I heard you and Scott talking about Julio Rodriguez. Can Julio be a 1st round 2025 pick and someone who you should drop right now? Lousy hitter, lousy offense, no base stealing with his ankle. 06:00 - Could J-Rod get shut down? 09:00 - Walker Buehler drop? 09:30 - Map out ahead of time 12:00 - Any injury cut, like Robbie Ray 13:30 - Kyle Tucker sprinting! 14:30 - Pick up more hot hands? Maybe just better matchups. 16:50 - Don’t cut Luis Robert 23:45 - Sometimes using season-long stats is better. Bigger sample size. But sometimes it isn’t, because teams change during the season. Here are some second half team stats that listeners may find interesting. After all, if we are going to stream down the stretch, we need to know what each team looks like right now. 25:45 - Houston is 24th in runs scored. Cleveland is 20th Boston is 3rd. 30:45 - KC is 2nd. 35:40 - Diamondbacks lead MLB in runs scored 38:00 - The Rays are 29th in runs scored but first in steals! 40:00 - Tampa is first in ERA. Detroit is 6th. Oakland is 10th. Boston is 29th. Baltimore is 23rd. 44:15 - Meanwhile, not only as the Astros and Braves not scoring, but they are also have the bottom of the league in steals. After being among the leaders in first half steals, the Brewers are mid-pack in the second half. The Giants are the opposite – last in the first half but mid-pack in the second half. --- Pick6 Download the new DraftKings Pick Six app and use code RWPICKS.

0:30.9	Should you cut Huli Rodriguez in redraft leagues?
0:35.2	That and more heretical advice offered by Fred Zinke and me
0:39.0	supporting him coming up next on the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. I'm Jeff Erickson here. He is Fred Zinke. Fred is the one that is issuing all this, you know, horrible, terrible, mean advice. No, it's not horrible or terrible.
1:11.0	Mean advice about Hula Rodriguez. I'm not the one that was responsible, even though I agree with
1:15.2	them. But I have Hulu Rodriguez and Scarf. It's a 15 team mixed league. It's one of the, you know,
1:21.0	expert leagues where we do a local in-person draft. And I took J. Rod over Bobby Witt. You know, he's killing me, Fred.
1:28.4	He's killed me all season long.
1:30.3	We were talking about him in the Sunday podcast and where he goes, but you've got a place for
1:34.4	him to go right now.
1:36.4	It's funny because I, I've been complaining about Corby and Carroll on this podcast all year.
1:40.8	And then you and Scott pointed out, which I knew from having Carol in so many leagues,
1:44.4	that now Corbyn Carroll has been much more productive than Julio Rodriguez this year, partly because
1:50.1	he's in a way better lineup, which is all part of my reasoning.
1:52.9	Yeah. Or what I was going to explain is, you know, I put in our notes and I'm interested
