We dig through the big important news of the week and try to get ready for the upcoming fab runs coming up on Sunday night in most weekly leagues. And Al, we have yet another big time prospect coming up. And Yuri Perez will make his big league debut for the Marlins on

Friday night so by the time many people listen to this show will already have his first

big league start in the books and it's fitting because at the beginning of the week I was

considering the possibility of trying to be more disciplined about the players that was bidding on with

precious fab dollars.

And Perez is one of those pitching prospects that if you liked Taj Bradley, you should

love Yuri Perez because you're talking about a guy who's 6-8 with premium velocity, command,

an arsenal that's four pitches deep, and a guy that lands in one of

the most pitcher-friendly environments in baseball. Those are the positives. Those positives come at a

steep cost. Usually, it's a massive portion of your fab budget. Oftentimes, people are going to go to 20,

25 percent, maybe a little more for a player like this. You don't have to bid that way. You could be less aggressive. You could take a shot at either 10 or 12% or whatever the number it is you're comfortable with based on what you have. But regardless of how much you like him, what do you think about Perez and his role with the Marlins? How much of a fixture do you think he'll be in this

rotation? Do you think he's up for good? And is your trust level high enough to consider being more

aggressive, even though fab money seems to be drying up pretty fast this season? Right. I mean,

it seems like every week there's somebody that we say, oh, you may have to spend 20% to get them, you know, at least 10 or 15. I was all prepared. Like you were alluding to DVR, you know, to write a lead for the waiver column. Like this week, you could save your money. But then I obviously had to change that. And I think whereas I think it was a week or two ago, we were talking about Bryce Miller.

And I was saying, yeah, it's probably going to take 20% to get them, but I'm not going more than like 8 to 10 because somebody like Paris is coming and is going to be probably better.

So yeah, I'm not going to be suggesting that anybody should hold back.
