Hello and welcome to the Keeper Cup podcast.

Chad Young and Pete Ball here.

And it's been a while, Pete.

We haven't talked to the people in a long time.

There was, I had the flu.

There was some travel.

There were all sorts of things that crept up and all

sudden we, you know, you're going every other week. You miss an episode. Boom, it's been a month.

And we went from, you know, keeper deadline fast approaching to like, I don't know about you,

but I am in, I am in the middle of draft season. Yeah, it hasn't picked up entirely for me. And like,

you know, as we were talking about before the show started, I have this week off from school. So like,

I'm trying to like figure out what to do and putting off doing like housework and stuff. So I joined

another NFBC 50s. Got the first pick, got my first year, Bobby Witt Jr. But that's my only, it's my only draft right now.

Most of mine are like mid-March, closer to the start of the season.

You took Witt over Otani?

Oh, so it was, I'm not even like considering Otani because it's weekly lineups.

So like the fact that he's hitter and pitcher really really doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, I'm worried he's not going to run as much this year.

I would normally take Aaron Judge, but I already have like quite a few Aaron Judge shares.

So I just wanted to get some Bobby Witt.

That makes sense.

That's a totally reasonable thing to want.
