Ryan ClaryHOST
Was this just, like, an outlier? Are you confident that the Nationals can actually repeat what they did? There's a couple of different things, and there's a couple of what ifs as to what could happen for the Nats.
Ryan ClaryHOST
My biggest what if is what if they trade CJ Abrams? You can't just supplement and substitute in a top prospect like Seaver King and say, "Yeah, that's gonna be a 30 home run bat." We're not expecting that from Seaver King.
Ryan ClaryHOST
In fact, you're probably expecting over 162 at least to start out.
Ryan ClaryHOST
Maybe 15, maybe 20 home runs, and that might be a stretch even, going up against Major League pitching.
Ryan ClaryHOST
Glass half full.
Ryan ClaryHOST
They can actually supplement that, and here's what it looks like.
Ryan ClaryHOST
Number one, it does look like Seaver King producing.
Ryan ClaryHOST
It's not the 30 home run potential, but it is Seaver King producing in a major, major way for this team, which I think he can do offensively.
Ian CundallGUEST
I, I, just looking through the list, I mean, I, I think there are so, there are a ton of really interesting names along here.
Ian CundallGUEST
Um, you know, Aidan Miller in the 30th round, um, Seaver King in the 33rd round.
Ian CundallGUEST
But the r- the one that really jumped off the page to me was Cam Cantarella in the 31st round.
Ian CundallGUEST
Um, I would not be surprised at all if he broke camp as the Marlins center fielder next year.
Eric CrossHOST
So yeah, Willits definitely a deserving selection.
Eric CrossHOST
I think there was really two guys that stood out, and so I went with the other one, and I went with Seaver King.
Eric CrossHOST
Who had a really well-rounded offensive season here, uh, between double A and triple A.
Eric CrossHOST
We thought he was gonna get the call up to the Nats, that did not happen, but we got to imagine he's up early next year, may- maybe even opening day, we'll see.
Tim KanakHOST
ABC's baby.
Tim KanakHOST
Uh, next we got Seaver King.
Tim KanakHOST
This guy might break camp too.
Tim KanakHOST
Uh, talking about, talking crap on Brady House, Seaver King could also replace Brady House.
Tim KanakHOST
Uh, I've actually also heard people talk about that the Nationals might trade Abrams, and if they traded Abrams, like Seaver King could just kind of fit right into shortstop.
Tim KanakHOST
Um, but I have always been a Seaver King truther.
Tim KanakHOST
The people who have watched my podcast, listened to my podcast, whatever, for years know that I've always been high on Seaver King, always been a Seaver King truther.
Tim KanakHOST
This year he hit 303, 382, 516, uh, 21 home runs and 15 steals.
Martin SekulskiHOST
His plus nine run value this year against fastballs was negative one last season.
Martin SekulskiHOST
He's gaining second base eligibility next year because he's a terrible defender at shortstop, which means your boy Seaver King is coming.
Martin SekulskiHOST
What do you think about CJ Abrams? Is that too high? I know you don't like McGonigal.
Martin SekulskiHOST
We'll get to that later.
Sam DykstraHOST
But what stood out to you about both of these teams as you were getting that going? G- I mean, both sides were pretty loaded with big names.
Sam DykstraHOST
You had Seaver King on the Rochester side, DePaula, Sirota, James Tibbs III on the Oklahoma City side.
Sam DykstraHOST
But getting to see those two go up against each other with a Triple-A title on the line, what stood out to you?
Tyler MaunHOST
Yeah, that was, I think, the coolest thing was we had a lot of prospects.
Tyler MaunHOST
But, um, yeah, it was, it was just a lot of fun.
Tyler MaunHOST
It was cool seeing those guys enjoying the experience so much, seeing the prospect talent, um, you know.
Tyler MaunHOST
Yeah, like you said, Josue DePaula and Seaver King and, you know, all these extremely talented, um, future stars for, for those franchises.
Tyler MaunHOST
Uh, and it was very, very cool seeing how excited Rochester was, not just from a, a roster and a coaching staff standpoint, but they had members of their front office and their ownership group there.
NickHOST
And to an extent you can pitch around them, but you need the protection, right? So if you pitch around, you know, James would at this top of the lineup and all of a sudden you're dealing with on just chop row, it's like, Oh, crap like there's no let up right which is so funny to hear that sentence now if you know that if I'd be if you told me I'd be saying that sentence back in May I would have called myself insane but here we are right like he was such a big surprise that no one saw coming among other things but like this was not even like yo-yo has been someone for a couple years now we're like okay when yo-yo gets here when yo-yo gets here right Brady house.
NickHOST
Similarly, um, Seaver King was a first round draft pick.
NickHOST
Right.
NickHOST
But Andres Chopro was not to give micros a credit.
18 MINS LATER
NickHOST
They're just kind of like the fill-in.
NickHOST
Yeah, I understand Nassim Nunez is currently penciled in the starting spot, whether it's shortstop or second base.
NickHOST
I would imagine Seaver King breaks camp and nudges Nassim Nunez into that backup role, which is more than fine because he has... aspects to his game, mainly base running.
NickHOST
I thought his defense was good.
Ryan ClaryHOST
So the Nationals finding success without Abrams is pretty clear, in my opinion.
Ryan ClaryHOST
You get a very good package or return, but then also you sit there and you wait patiently for Seaver King and Eli Willets for them to make their jump to the majors.
Ryan ClaryHOST
And speaking of things or teams making jumps to the majors and having them prospects, we got to say a special goodbye to a very good friend of the show, Bryce Harper.
Ryan ClaryHOST
Let's talk about that after this.
Eric ShellhouseHOST
Tena hit 143 in the month of August and 133 down in September, with no home runs in that final month.
Eric ShellhouseHOST
He had 12 strikeouts and three hits over his final 30 at bats, Spencer, and will return to a crowded infield with Brady House, CJ Abrams, Yohander Morales just called up in September, and Seaver King on the way soon.
Eric ShellhouseHOST
Do you think it is time for the Nationals to part ways with José Tena, or does he need to find his swing more consistently at Triple-A?
Spencer NusbaumHOST
Yeah, well, here's the thing I think about often, um, particularly as it comes to, I guess, a team not being able to tell us something directly, but able to show us with their decisions, right? Um, I think about when guys are moved to Triple-A, per se, um, you know, being told to work on certain positions because the team knows what's coming, or at the end of the season, if a guy's at bats are dramatically reduced, that is generally not a good sign for them.
JJ CooperHOST
So like that was too much for me.
JJ CooperHOST
And the other, which is not a power hitter, this would have been the anti Jeff pig, but it would have been like Seaver King in that range.
JJ CooperHOST
Not because I think he's going to hit for power.
JJ CooperHOST
But just for accumulating in that, I do think he'll be in the big leagues next year.
