0:00.0	As usual, we're talking fab pickups, rival fantasy, and two-star pitchers here on the Rotow Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast.
0:28.5	I'm Clay Link of RotoWire.com here with the FSWA Hall of Famer, Todd Zola, Lord Zola himself.
0:36.4	Good to be on with you, Todd.
0:38.9	And happy Matt Mervis day.
0:44.2	I wanted to thank you for your quick response yesterday when I hit you up about our Matt Mervis projection. So kind of an interesting addition to the hitting pool, certainly, in Matt Mervis.
0:50.7	How are you doing today? I don't have any of Matt Mervis in my life. So I guess I'm still doing fine. I can still celebrate vicariously. Still hanging in there? I'm a fan of young players. And we get actually while we're he's, is he, is he debuting while we're talking? Is he in the lineup today? You you know that's a good question because are they
1:12.3	playing the 110 game well it's 210 in the 2 10 in the 2 10 i mean maybe it starts an hour earlier
1:18.9	where you are but i saw that the call up was confirmed but i well the game must have started yeah it
1:25.9	started you know the great great radio folks actually Kalain and I just had kind of a podcast off the air. Yeah. We should have recorded that. Yeah, no, anyway. So, yeah, Matt Mervis up. Yeah, I mean. You gave him what, like, sort of good job, but what, like 75% of the playing time the rest of the year? As we discussed, yeah, I think I gave 80% because left-handed batters gets 72% in the platoon.
1:51.3	He pinch hits.
1:52.3	But as we were also saying, that doesn't add any, what if he struggles hedge at all,, maybe we need to back that off to 75%.
2:02.5	Right now he's in the top 120.
2:05.9	I don't know that anybody would take him in the first eight, nine, eight rounds of a redraft if we did a 15 teamer.
2:12.4	But I think he's top 150 to 200.
2:14.6	So, you know, you can pin him to Josh, Josh Josh Young I think it's a nice comparison I
2:21.2	would take young over Mervis right now but I don't think it would be wrong to do Mervis
2:26.1	yeah on my kind of custom cheat sheet that's where I put him yeah Hart Foundation mentioned
2:32.1	I pulled up the box score here Mervervis in the lineup batting seventh today.
2:36.0	Okay.
2:36.6	So at first base, betting seventh.
2:39.5	And yeah, there's already a score in that game.
2:41.6	So it is one nothing, Cleveland or Chicago.
