Hello and welcome to episode 1473 of the Sleeper and the Bust. It is Monday. February 9th, I'm your host, Pauls 4. And Justin, it's baseball season. Super Bowl's over. Baseball is officially set on stage. We did it, man. We got through another winter. And just like that, the weather cooperates, at least for today, with an 82 degree day, it feels like spring. It smells like spring outside. Again, it won't last. I call these trick days. We get a few of them every February. And then there'll be a few more blistering cold weeks for sure. We're about to get hit with a major rainstorm. So are we? They said we're getting an inch on Saturday. So maybe it's, maybe it's all the same thing sweeping. Yeah. I think in the country. I think like something of like eight of the next 10 days are supposed to be raining here. Woof. That's going to be awful. Yeah, we'll see how it got. Obviously one of the worst things when it rains here is having a dog and a dog who is allowed to be wherever she wants, sleep in the bed and everything. You've got to make sure they're clean. But it's just impossible to keep it clean. So it's like sheet changes every single day during the rainy days. But again, spring's here. I mean, no, it's not official, but you know how I feel once the Super Bowl ends. All the football fans come back. Baseball is here. We're already in the thick of our previews here. In fact, we're on part two, third base. We're going to talk about a big move. How fitting is this, by the way, the big move of the day, Caleb Durbin trade comes when we're going to talk about him in the rankings. So we're just going to wait until that, put it kind of like in the body of the show here, and we'll just pick up where we left off. We are, of course, following the rankings of our rankers, and John Becker took care of the Hot Corner for us. We've got Tier 4, 5, 6, and 7 today. We're going to pass over some guys that we've discussed at different spots. We'll direct you to

those posts there. If you want to listen to them, like Carlos Correa's in Tier 4 here, all of Tier 5 is actually the two imports from overseas, Murakami and Akamoto. We discussed both of them at first base because they had some first base eligibility over there. So with this tier, we're looking at Matt Chapman, Alec Bohm, and the aforementioned Correa.

Just to refresh, I like to create a little bit more than you. You're a little bit tepid on him. Understandably, the health has been a nightmare. And I just was saying, you know, maybe a little bit upside in the power. If he can lean on the Crawford boxes, the way he did when he first was a superstar with the Astros. But with Chapman and Bohm, you're looking at guys

that are a couple guys that are quite different. With Chapman, you're looking for kind of that all or

nothing power. He could rip 30, 35 bombs, but it could come with like a two and a quarter,

235 average. Bone, meanwhile, might not hit 20, but could hit 270.

Just between those two with what they deliver,

do you have a specific preference that you lean toward more than the other between Chapman and Bone?

I mean, I lean Chapman just because he does a,

he does more with what he has, right?

I agree.

What makes bone valuable is he plays and he gives you a good average,

which is hard to find as a third base position,

especially once you get past a certain spot.

And we're in a tier where, like, you're not finding finding average very much rest the way at third base unless it's super empty average and boom it's not super empty it's a little it's the tank is leaning e they are 100 picks apart by the way they you know john put them in the tier together here, but they're 100 picks apart.

So Chapman's, he's kind of brought Chapman down. Like it's a steady vets group. So I get it. You know, Chapman and Correa especially. And then Bohm already kind of feels like a 10-year vet, even though he's only like a three-year vet. But he kind of puts up those boring vet type numbers. But he has 100 picks cheaper. So obviously that can change things.

You could get both.

Do you see pairing them as valuable? numbers, but he has 100 picks cheaper. So obviously that can change things.

You could get both.

Do you see pairing them as valuable, Chapman and Bowman?

Not usually.

So many other interesting guys going before, you know, if I'm going to land on a third
