| 0:35.9 | Chris Forsberg covers the Celtics for NBC Sports, Boston. |
| 0:40.3 | Very quickly, I want to do this exercise. |
| 0:44.2 | You can participate if you want, but it's about baseball. |
| 0:47.0 | All right. |
| 0:47.1 | I saw it and I want to talk about it now because it is interesting. |
| 0:51.7 | All right, this is from the MLB Network. |
| 2:34.3 | I don't know what the Shredder is, but whatever. The shredder is number one player at each position. Okay. Okay. I want to go through this exercise. I'm getting somewhere. First of all, let's start with the closer. If you had to guess the closer based on last year. I've cheated. I've seen this. Oh, I don't do it. I'm sorry. I saw it. What do you want for me? Forget it then. It's a roll this chapman. I wish I was. No, but I was going to work my way to Duran. Duran is the left fielder. Duran is the best left fielder according to the shredder. I mean, I know that the shredder is, but that sounds good. Roman Anthony is better than him. My God, on his own team. So Cal Raleigh is the catcher. Right. Jose Ramirez is the third baseman. Bobby Wood Jr. is the shortstop. Marte is the second baseman. Freddie Freeman is the first basin. School Bowl's the starting pitcher. So these are all the best players at the positions. This isn't like a weird list. Then it goes, Aaron, Judge, and Wrightfield. Julio Rodriguez is in centerfield. You're like, okay. It all makes sense. And then Duran. Is there no one playing left field in baseball? That would be my conclusion. The guy that every red, well, not every, but a lot of Red Sox fans wanted shipped out of here before the deadline last year. They have to ship them out of here because they had to ship them out of here because their best young player plays the same position. and they're not going to move their right field or their center field are out of those positions because they're too good defensively. So I have no idea what the hell. What was the voting methodology? I don't know. It's the shredder. Just guy needs a shredder. The guy from Ninja Turtles? Oh, yeah. See? See? that's why he's here. Right there. No, I don't know. It's the best air guitarist to pick him. But it's like these guys that are like, could be, I mean, Bobby Wood Jr. could be a Hall of Famer. Ramirez could be a Hall of Famer. Scoobel's going to be a Hall of Famer. judge is going to be a Hall of Famer. Jose Ramirez could be All of Famer. Freddie Freeman's going to be a Hall of Famer. And then Duran. Chapman probably could be a Hall of Famer. Yeah. Then Duran. It's wrong. Everyone at every position is either A or on the path to being a Hall of Fame. I'm trying to think of left fielders. There aren't many good ones. Mike Greenwell. The only guy I could... Jordan Walker. Stephen Kwan and Cleveland, there aren't many. So I can understand why they put Duran there. Shredder by default. Why aren't there more good left fielders? I don't know. The answer to that. |
| 3:25.2 | And left field is usually where you can put an all bat and a glove. Hell, put Soto in left. He'd be better. Geez. Isn't right field where you hide people? No, right field, you got to have a cannon. No, right field, you need a great arm. Yeah, right field, you got to have the big arm. Center field you got to cover the most ground. |
| 3:41.5 | Left field, you can usually hide a guy. |
| 3:44.1 | Left field and first, arm. Yeah, right field, you got to have the big arm. Center field, you got to cover the most ground. |
| 3:41.5 | Left field, you can usually hide a guy. |
| 3:44.0 | Left field and first you can sometimes hide a guy. |
| 3:46.3 | Yeah. |
| 3:46.9 | Even though first base is becoming a much more defensively metriced position. |
| 3:51.8 | Yep. |
| 3:52.9 | But, no. |
