Mark S.HOST
I st- I, I struggle with finding those guys late, with identifying those gems late.
Mark S.HOST
Um, and I, I mean, I had Alexis Diaz everywhere, for instance.
Mark S.HOST
So, you know, I, I need to get better at this as, as a drafter myself and figure this out.
Mark S.HOST
And so many of these guys too, they didn't just surpass it.
Brice PaterikHOST
The seven games he pitched in AAA before the Rangers called him up and he was just a massive part of this bullpen for the vast majority of the season.
Brice PaterikHOST
It's funny just seeing Alexis Diaz just stay there and In Round Rock, he was one of the, I guess, more expensive, not expensive, but for how much the Rangers were willing to pay for any kind of reliever.
Brice PaterikHOST
He was making a million dollars this year at a fully guaranteed contract, and he did not pitch in the major leagues at all.
Brice PaterikHOST
Did okay in Round Rock, but when you're walking 6.9 batters per nine innings in AAA, it doesn't matter if you're striking out the whole world like he was with 11.3 Ks per nine innings.
Nick KirbyHOST
They did a little bit last year, kind of the opposite direction.
Nick KirbyHOST
Yeah, they were definitely they were they wanted to trade Alexis Diaz at the 2023 deadline.
Nick KirbyHOST
That was definitely because they were shopping him in the offseason before that season.
Nick KirbyHOST
There was serious talks.
Nick KirbyHOST
They constantly were shopping.
Nick KirbyHOST
You go back and look at records and they clearly wanted to trade Alexis Diaz at the deadline.
Nick KirbyHOST
But then they had that magical 2023 season and that kind of derailed that thought process.
Nick KirbyHOST
And then they were kind of stuck in no man's land.
Nick KirbyHOST
a little bit last year, kind of the opposite direction.
Nick KirbyHOST
yeah uh they were definitely they were they wanted to trade alexis diaz at the 2023 deadline that was definitely because they were shopping him in the off season before that season there was serious talks they constantly were shopping you go back and look at records and they clearly wanted to trade alexis diaz at the deadline but then they had that magical 2023 season and that kind of derailed that thought process and then they were kind of stuck in no man's land Again, I don't think as a whole, like, Nick Kroll's done a good job with signings or anything, but it's convenient how everyone forgets, like, Nick Martinez, two years, $26 million.
Nick KirbyHOST
That was a pretty good deal.
Nick KirbyHOST
That's about the same amount of dollars as Jaber Candelario.
Aidan SinclairHOST
Something like that.
Aidan SinclairHOST
But, uh, Alexis Diaz I got going for the R- even though he's not with the Reds anymore, I got him going for the Reds in the final game.
Aidan SinclairHOST
[laughs] We're just having fun with this, man.
Aidan SinclairHOST
It d- doesn't matter.
Rick GrahamGUEST
Sure, but
David WhitcombHOST
if Edwin Diaz shows up in the spring pitching like he's pitching now, you know, I mean, like, yeah, Alexis Diaz has more work this year for the Dodgers than Edwin Diaz.
David WhitcombHOST
That's
Rick GrahamGUEST
sadly true.
Brice PaterikHOST
It's just really not all that much.
Brice PaterikHOST
They even spent a million dollars on Alexis Diaz, who has just been sitting in AAA, walking about seven batters per nine innings.
Brice PaterikHOST
And some people might be saying, maybe he would be a better roster spot right now than... than some of the other guys who they're putting on this roster.
Brice PaterikHOST
And I wouldn't be completely opposed to that.
