James AndersonHOST
All right, Jeff.
James AndersonHOST
When I think about the first base position and the type of production I really want to be getting there, whether it be redraft dynasty, what have you, I think about these stalwarts like Pete Alonzo, Matt Olson, Raphael Devers, Bryce Harper, just incredibly productive.
James AndersonHOST
All three of those guys have just had a really nice run of awesome fantasy production.
James AndersonHOST
You know, they're, closer to being um post prime than early prime and you never know when when things start to slip with guys on the wrong side of 30 but um these are the types of guys that i think about when i'm like what kind of production do i want out of my first basement like i want guys that are really just dominant in four categories you know stolen bases are just kind of extra but like these guys help you a ton in the ratios they're guys that can score 100 plus runs can drive in 100 plus runs uh well maybe not with bryce harper um but you know these guys are just awesome is there anything worth saying about these guys
Jake MastroianniHOST
So he was very, very consistent for the Braves.
Jake MastroianniHOST
We talked about Matt Olson and his consistency earlier.
Jake MastroianniHOST
for the team and really up until the, you know, the final month and a half, I think you would have said that Matt Olson was your most consistent player all year long, but looking back now on the totality of the season, it was clearly Michael Harris, who is your most consistent performer from beginning to end for the Atlanta Braves.
Jake MastroianniHOST
Didn't really have a month where he was an absolute disaster.
Jake MastroianniHOST
And that might be the most thing that I love the most about Michael Harris this past season.
George McNairHOST
Bowers at DH, Suzuki, Harris, and Kwon in the outfield.
George McNairHOST
Riley, Dubon, Ozzie, and Matt Olson in your infield.
George McNairHOST
Baldwin is catching.
George McNairHOST
Your bench is Yastrzemski, Zabrowski catching.
Eric CrossHOST
And I think at this point, he's going to be in that top five to seven discussion at first base.
Eric CrossHOST
I mean, he's on that elite tier with, you know, with Ben Rice, you know, with Pete Alonzo, Matt Olson, and all them, obviously Nick Kurtz.
Eric CrossHOST
But I think he's in that next tier down where it's like that five to seven range or so in ranking.
Eric CrossHOST
So, yeah.
Jeff PassanGUEST
And the week that we were supposed to go is the week that the labor deal was signed.
Jeff PassanGUEST
And so, you know, breaking the Matt Olson trade while standing on line at Universal in Orlando to get shot up into the air.
Jeff PassanGUEST
It's like...
Jeff PassanGUEST
That's, you know, I remember texting the person that day who was keeping me informed on it.
Brad RowlandHOST
Normally, there's like a little bit of something we can do at the end of the podcast to say, hey, this happened.
Brad RowlandHOST
The last bit of news I remember is like, I think Matt Olson won a Fielding Battle Award like five days ago.
Brad RowlandHOST
That was newsy.
Brad RowlandHOST
Shouts to Matt.
Brad RowlandHOST
Congratulations to Matt Olson for that.
Brad RowlandHOST
That was like, that was basically it.
Brad RowlandHOST
And even that's not like a podcast topic.
Jake MastroianniHOST
So yeah, Again, that's where you see baseball is maybe not traveling quite as much and not getting the results.
Jake MastroianniHOST
We talked about that a little bit with Matt Olson, too.
Jake MastroianniHOST
So I don't know what to make of it because you're right.
Jake MastroianniHOST
The eye test for me, I felt like Trey Baldwin had a pretty bad finish to the season.
