Hello, welcome to episode 1498 of The Sleeper in the Bus. It's Friday, April 17th. I'm your host, Paul Spore, joined this morning by Justin Mason, Justin. Good morning, sir. Good morning. How we doing? Not too bad. Ready for a nice weekend here. And excited to talk some Two-Step. It's a deep board because there's only three auto starts.

We got a couple repeats, and we were saying before the show started,

would it truly be the baseball season yet if Renoldo Lopez had not been bumped off of a two-start

into the following week?

Because he's back on the board this week after being on there last week.

And I'm sure he'll be on it again next week somehow. Yeah, it is really just the start of, you know, it's just like, you know, it's Christmas time when Christmas music comes on. You know, it's baseball season when Ray Arnold Lopez misses a two-start. That's exactly right.

And so, you know, he'll be on our board here soon.

And let's just go ahead and dive in because we do have a lot of names. Some can be glossed over probably pretty easily, but I think a lot of these, you know, have some real conversation to them. This first one, I don't really know where to go with it. He is on the road for two. you know, we don't really like athletics pitchers when they're near their home.

J.T. Ginn is going to Seattle and to Texas. He is on the road for two. You know, we don't really like athletics pitchers when they're near their home.

J.T. Ginn is going to Seattle and to Texas.

Is he showing anything early on that might make this worth, you know, a deep league throw?

I think we've seen, you know, some decent surface stats with a 331 ERA and an 098 whip.

That's downright. Amazing. But it is a really crazy babbit bet 163 that will not last and just and i got to throw the cold water it's a 6% strikeout minus walk so i think in this case we could be protecting some people from maybe making a bad decision on gin i think you need to be very careful here. What do you say? Yeah. Also,

he's only had one appearance because he's only had two starts and three relief appearances

that has gone five innings or longer. So the chances you're going to get wins out of these

pretty slim to begin with. Bad bullpen, even if they do get a lead too.

Yeah, so I'm just staying away from it.

I just don't know that it's really worth the kind of the squeeze,

especially with the lack of strikeouts have been coming from him.

Let someone else eat that.

If they see those surface numbers,

especially that whip might really entice some folks.
