Hello friends and welcome in to fantasy pros. It is the April 4th edition. I am the Welsh. That is the worm. And we have got stuff for you, my friends. Welcome in. This is brought to you by prize picks and Corbin Carroll and my bad home run calls. This is everything that's going on. Mr Ryan Wormley. Can you even believe yesterday?

0:30.2

Yeah, I by jaw hit the floor on that son of a run. I cannot believe this streak. You are on. It is incredible. It is literally jaw dropping. I cannot wait to see what the coin decides for us today because I guarantee I'm just going to take the other side, which apparently a lot of people did in the contest on discord.

0:50.1

Yeah, our boy, our boy Mike Mayer sent a thing out and he said, here are all the people that literally faded Welsh to soda. And as a list, it was quite a list. It's incredible. The streak goes on where I have a feeling about a player, but I have a secondary feeling. And the coin makes the decision. This coin, which by the way, kind of think we should get some custom coin. I think we might need to talk to the uppers Ryan to get fantasy pros to get me a custom fantasy pros coin that we

1:20.1

start using. Then we could start selling them. It'd be great. It's a great marketing tool that is a complete fate of me. But the irony of it, though, is the coin makes the decision because the first two, this is three straight days, by the way, the first two. It was, here's the guy I want. Here's my head. Here's my heart. Coin says go with your head. It went to the heart yesterday with one Soto. One Soto was my head. Oh, no, Cruises my heart. The coins that go there. And we faded again. And my DMs are my mentions blew up.

1:50.1

I've been there. So we'll see what I feel like we're going to need like a 30 for 30 on this coin saga eventually. The twisted turns, the timing of when you finally decide to go against the, I mean, it's just, it, it's really astounding stuff. It is, it's incredible across the board. So we're excited to get to you to all the stuff and things. Oh, Mr. Wormland, we'll tell you if you can monitor the chat at all. I apparently cannot see it. I cannot see everything I had. I had the wackiest computer thing happened before we started up. So I'm flying a little bit more blind here.

2:20.0

Shocker with how this week has gone with all the technical stuff, but I'm very excited to talk about all the baseball. And you know, you know, I am ecstatic because the other thing, why people probably want to avoid coming on today, warmly, is because of Corbin Carroll with a three hit night last night.

2:39.4

Think you had a stolen base opportunity that got taken away by a hit that was going in there. Corbin Carroll, getting his feet under him. He actually cashed a little bit of prop from yesterday. I had this is kind of an honor of you.

2:52.4

I called it the leading off hit prop where I took Adley Rudgeman and I took Corbin Carroll just for hits on DK. It paid, I think 200 plus 200 and it cashed and I think they're first to bats. So I was able to cash the little hit prop there.

3:08.1

First question. Goat is either great assault all time.

3:13.0

I'm going to say no. I want to also point out that with everything going on with my move and everything mayor, very graciously stepped up and filled out our headlines for today. And Mike mayor chose violence because this very first headline with you and me on the show together is who is the better prospect. Who would you take?

3:31.1

Well, to Corbin Carroll and Gunner Henders. I hate to actually ruin it. That was me. I actually did that. Oh, that was you. I was a very late mayor had a different headline. I swooped in.

3:43.2

Wow.

3:43.8

Corbin Carroll. And then I wanted to ask that exact question because part of it is this as well. I don't know people are ready for this care. Prospect eligibility is about gone Gunner's going to lose it today if he plays assuming he plays he's done he will no longer have prospect eligibility.

3:59.8

If you guys are wondering that's 130 at bats 50 innings pitched or sometimes there is a days on the roster routine thing that goes on with it. But he's going to exhaust his prospect eligibility.

4:10.8

And I think Corbin is right behind him. He might lose it today or Wednesday.

4:16.8

Yeah, because I will be at opening day for the Diamondbacks on Thursday. They're off on Wednesday. So he'll lose it in the next couple days. So my question is Gunner Henderson got off to a slow start. You know what to be fair.

4:27.8

Carol kind of got off to a slow start. He hasn't been hitting close in lineup. But they both hit their first homers of the season yesterday. So I ask you with all the hype and the excitement around Corbin Carroll. But your guy who you picked you slammed your home run call to yesterday.

4:42.8

What say you? What say you on this bad boy? Yeah. First of all, I admitted on the show yesterday that there was a little bit of Homerism in my home run call for Gunner Henderson. I just was my first chance to take an oracle.

4:53.8

And I didn't want to take Adley since I had already picked him, you know, in the bedding on opening day. And then it worked out really great. And also just, you know, you believe in the guy's talent certainly not like he's going to stay cold all season long.

5:04.8

I think if we're asking from a fantasy perspective, I do think I would probably prefer to have Carol like if I was building out a dynasty roster. I prefer to have Carol just because of the speed and Gunner's faster than you might think given his size.

5:17.8

But Carol obviously has elite speeds. I think he can contribute more categories as a just like building a team perspective. I do like Gunner better. He plays in the dirt.

5:27.8

I think he's I think he can be like the best defense of their basement in baseball done. Like not that he will be I think he can be I think he has that outcome in him. Obviously he's gotten so much better every single year at the plate.
