Hello and welcome to On the Corner of the Official podcast to Pitchelos.com.

I'm your host, Eric Smolsky, joined on a journey through the top 100 by Nick Pollack.

Nick, we are, we are outside of the top 80.

We're on the home stretch.

Yeah.

And these guys are not going to sound like they should be outside the top 80, should they?

Well, no, it's interesting. These are like we've done the, hey, young, upside guys. We've done the like, ooh, you know, veterans on the way down, but huge name value. And these are guys where it's like, oh, yeah, they're all pretty solid. Well, they've all been pretty good. Why are they down here?

And so we'll cover all of that right now, starting with your 81st ranked pitcher who you were asked about constantly during first pitch, Arizona.

Why is Christopher Sanchez down here outside of the top eight?

I know, right.

All right.

I'll put this very succinctly.

This is the point where you say, okay, look, I don't want to play those games, Nick.

I want something that I plug in my lineup and it's not the worst thing ever.

It could easily just have a good April and that's cool and I can move from there.

Cool.

These are those guys.

I view them all either as I just don't want to deal with it. I won't know the answer if you were having a breakout season likely or not if you are more of the same. Also, they are just generally productive and they're cool. And I'm probably going to be wrestling where to put them on the top 100 list the entire season because I don't think that they have that 25% plus strikeout

upside. It may be around 23% or so. Maybe they become a holly at some point, but I think they have

general flaws with their whip or just what they do, that it's going to be a little difficult to discern.

And I think the leader of that is Christopher Sanchez, who is a win guy. If you need to chase wins,

you should go for him.
