The Welcome to episode 837 of The Sleeper and the Bus. I'm Justin Mason joined by Jason Koeck.

0:23.7

Jason how you doing? Hey I'm doing pretty good. I woke up this morning and saw that I

0:28.0

won my Gregory Soto bid in my AL Keeper League and that made me very happy because Gregory Soto is the future for Detroit and I was rather surprised I won the bid. I think I put it in a $7 bid because I wanted to price them where if it works out he's a good keeper I didn't want to go stupid nuts on him for this year

0:46.7

So I was like if I get him I might get him great if I don't then somebody else is paying a higher price for a reliever and it worked out. So Greg Soto is on my team and that

0:55.1

due to throwing darts, velocities up from last year, throwing strikes this year. I'd like what I see every time I see Greg Soto take them out for the tigers.

1:05.7

Are you thinking he might become the closer at some point or I mean I don't think they're going to make all right that's my spec but in the

1:15.4

meantime I'll take what I can get out of them but when you see a guy whose

1:28.8

So he's made some mechanical changes, throwing harder, and I'm on board until he falls apart like every

1:36.5

other damn picture this year. God bless it. I like him as like a...

1:40.4

The entire reason for Justin Mason 2019 team.

1:43.0

Yeah, there it is.

1:44.0

I like him as just like a reliever but I just like a reliever but I just don't know that, I mean they have no lefties in that pen it's him and Tyler

1:54.7

Alexander who might as well have been the congressman from Iowa you know as

2:01.4

far as I'm concerned.

2:03.0

So I just don't know that he's going to get a shot considering

2:08.0

he's kind of pretty much the only left he in the back end of that bullpen.

2:11.0

Yeah, you would figure in a 60 man rock with alternative camp they may have something, but maybe they

2:16.2

don't.

2:17.8

And this is where it's going to be.
