Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball. Thank you very much for joining. We are talking about

underrated players on episode number 599. Let's do it.

Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball. Thank you very much for joining us. Today my name is Jimi. I'm sitting next to Jake. We got Trevor Ploof in California and producer BBD wearing his Lakers gear for LeBron behind the dish.

I'm not talking basketball though, talking baseball, seat geek, sponsor in the episode, use code Talking When You Do and Jake. How you doing?

Wedding's coming up. Hello hot.

This jacket hoodie combo is a little more aggressive than I normally am. Trev's been hot and bothered about it all morning because he's not the best looking guy in the show today.

I'm good man. I feel kind of like Wolverine. I'm ready to like if the barista says a bad word to me. I normally don't have that edge to me. I don't know if it's wedding pressure. I don't know if it's this New York outfit. I'm a little hostile.

But I am excited to be talking about underrated guys because that's one of my most like said phrases. You guys have heard me catch myself. I'll be like, oh, guys kind of underrated. I'm like, shut the fuck up Jake.

But I'm excited to yak it with the boys. And it was a good article. And it's it's that time. Do you say the dog days of the offseason Trev?

We're in the dog days of the offseason. I need to know more about this edge that you have. You want to fight your barista?

I guess that could come off wrong.

I served milk today. They just screwed the pooch on my order. All right. I think you look good. I was trying to compliment you earlier today. Maybe a disdankanobio in the process. That's no big deal. But yes, this is going to be a fun episode.

The thing that we do like to do on this show is try to highlight players. And then today will be guys that don't necessarily always get talked about. We have the stars at each position. But there's some really good players that whether it's just because they're starting out or they're on, you know, maybe a smaller market team or a team that hasn't had success.

We're going to talk about them a lot. So today we'll get to do that and share some opinions. James, you joined the political ranks last night again. How did that go for you?

I don't know. I tweeted out. I muted the conversation. So there's a lot of people in Washington, you see that cover the news on both sides that follow me.

And when these things happen, they keep just blowing up my phone asking for a lip reading. And then what I do is I watch it on Twitter and I see if I can like see it. And then if I can, I'm like, yeah, that's fun.

And it was kind of fun. Like it's a fun little interaction. But yeah, I'm not a politics guy. So I tweeted out get out of there. I think it's got like a million views already. So it's crazy. Danger spot.

I'm excited to do this. But I think the thing about this is we talk about some of these guys. Like there's names that we come across in the parameters that on this show because we talk about a lot of players.

People that listen regularly are going to be like, I know him. You guys talk about him all the time. It's like, yeah, but he hasn't done this. He hasn't done this. And like, you know, I always say like my cousins who follow Yankees and some baseball, they don't know this guy exists.

So there are names that we're going to put out there that you guys have heard us talk about a lot. It's tricky with the lines of baseball. So we there's the article.

How do you say that Castro Vince trev? Yeah, you nailed it. Anthony Castro Vince. That's why you can't. That's why you can't say it right.

He posted his 23 all underrated team. And he had some stipulation. Some that were tough for us to get our heads wrapped around like MLB networks current top 10 right now.
