2052 - Bibee, Soto and Walker plus lots of other fantasy items - a podcast by Rich Wilson

1.Tanner Bibee got the call and did not disappoint. He pitched 5.2 IP, 6 hits, 1 ER, 8K/0BB for the win.
a.What were your thoughts?
b.Who do you prefer for the rest of the season? Taj Bradley or Bibee?

2.Were you surprised that Jordan Walker was demoted? He wasn’t lighting the world on fire like Gunnar Henderson is, but still… .274/.321/.397 isn’t bad for a 21-year-old.
a.Did they pull the trigger too soon?
b.If Walker can go down, can Gunnar Henderson be far behind?
c.Were you surprised that the Diamondbacks sent Jake McCarthy down?

3.According to Sporttrac, the Padres have the third-highest payroll in the league. They have good players but are 13-13 and are underperforming. Is this just a slow start, or do you think there is a problem? If so, what?

4.Speaking of the Padres, I have Juan Soto in a Dynasty League, and he’s gotten off to a bad start. Yeah, he’s 24, but when you grab him with a top-10 pick, you expect more than a guy hitting .188. What are your thoughts on what is happening?

5.MacKenzie Gore and Hunter Brown had big outings on Wednesday. Who do you like better for the rest of the season?

6.Give me three players you want to see promoted over the next several weeks.

7.Estuery Ruiz had four stolen bases on Wednesday and has moved up behind Ronald Acuna.

a.First, you’re welcome!
b.Second, he’s fast, and we expected a lot of stolen bases, but you know who else has 10 is Ji Hwan Bae of the Pittsburgh Juggernaut Pirates. Can he sustain this?

8.Mitch Keller won again yesterday and is now sporting a 3.53 ERA with 40Ks in 35.2 innings. He still walks too many, but are we seeing this guy finally develop into a pitcher you can start with confidence?

9.What one hitter are you picking up this weekend?

10.What pitcher are you picking up this weekend?
