1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Welcome back beautiful people. We have a special episode of Mountain Visit today. Kenji and I are going to be drafting for the next five years our ideal teams. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Now there is a catch because we can only draft one player from every single team. We're going to get more into the rules as we go. 3 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,000 But we did want to touch on a couple of newsworthy items. Kenji has a very strong opinion about who's on the cover of the show. 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:34,000 I'm very happy about the cover of the show. Mack Scherzer is a Blue Jay. We're going to briefly touch on that. But the main point of this episode we're going to be drafting are all next five year teams. 5 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000 However we want to say that. For the next five years these are our teams. First and foremost Kenji how's my co-host doing? 6 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Wonderful. You know why? Because I am so excited about what we're about to do. 7 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000 I'm excited for this. I mean. 8 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000 It's going to be a blast. 9 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000 We can be candid with the people. We did not really know what we wanted to record today. There was some mild newsworthy items. 10 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000 But nothing super interesting or three weeks out from spring training games. It's kind of this lull. 11 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000 And so we wanted something interesting. We're really excited about this idea because I think we're going to have some fun with it. 12 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:14,000 So then yeah Kenji I'll tee you up. The cover of MLB The Show 25 is Paul Skeen's, Ellie De La Cruz and Gunnar Henderson. 13 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,000 I don't know if they'll be on separate covers. I don't know much about the game. I play MLB The Show a lot. I don't know much about this year's game. 14 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000 But I'm very excited who's on the cover. I know you felt like there was somebody who should have been. 15 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000 No I'm just going to assume that Bobby Wood Jr. declined to be on the cover of the show. 16 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Which is why they went with their second and third best option. Ellie De La Cruz and Gunnar Henderson at their respective positions. That's all I'm going to say. 17 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,000 I'm not going to get into this debate. Gunnar is awesome. I love him. He is great. I love him. I love him. It's a great cover. 18 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000 I hope it's a good game. He's going to play on Team USA next year. I hope it's a good game. That's all I say. 19 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Max Scherzer goes to the Blue Jays. That's another small piece of news. Kind of washed up. I think it's his 17th. 20 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:11,000 What a place to retire in Canada. I know it's a one year's 15 and a half million if my memory serves me correctly. 21 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000 There's a Blue Jays. He'll help out some of the young pitchers on that staff. They don't have too many young guys there. 22 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000 I'll be in Toronto for opening day so I'll get to watch him pitch against my O's. 23 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000 I don't think he's going to pitch. I think he's number four on the... 24 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000 That's a four game set. I'll see him. 25 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Oh it's a four game set? Okay. Unless he was about to... was it Hayden Francis? No I hate him Francis. 26 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Bowden. Bowden? Bowden Francis? Yeah. 27 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:44,000 So I mean that kind of suffices the news. Reds almost traded for Luis Robert. The Reds ended up signing Austin Hayes. 28 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000 They signed Wade Miley. So the Reds have been really busy. That's kind of... I mean that's the extent of it. 29 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Is there anything else that stood out to you before we jump right in this draft? 30 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Good job Reds. If you can't get Luba probably... honestly has the most potential at center field in the entire league. 31 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Like he could be the best center field in the league because he can hit and actually play defense. 32 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Which not a lot of players in center field can do. But Austin Hayes is definitely going to do the trick. Yeah. 33 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:18,000 I like Austin Hayes. He's a former All-Star starter. I like Austin Hayes. Let him eat. Let him cook. 34 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000 Let him cook? Okay. Uh huh. Uh huh. 35 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Alright. Well this is... I'm very excited for this. So Kenji and I are going to draft 15 players each. 36 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Let me walk you through how the rosters are going to lay out. Three starting pitchers. 37 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000 Two relief pitchers that can be closers or middle relief. Doesn't matter. 38 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000 And then a full lineup including a DH and a utility player. 39 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000 The catch is we just listed 15 roster spots for each person. So Kenji is going to draft 15. I'm going to draft 15. 40 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000 But we can only take one player from each team. So that's the nuance when you're trying to take the Marlins best player, the Rockies best player. 41 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,000 You don't want to get hung up with somebody horrible because you are going to get stuck with somebody bad if you don't go to the right place. 42 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000 So we're going to see how this goes. Kenji because you're shorter and you're wearing glasses right now. You're going to have the first pick. 43 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Wow. Okay. And we're just going to go back and forth. We're not going to be funny and try to snake this or anything. 44 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000 I'm going to let Kenji have the first pick and then we're just going to run with it. And we're going to see where this takes us. 45 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000 I think people have to also understand that we have no prep into going into this. 46 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,000 That's the best part. That's the best part is we're going to roll with this because we think it's a fun idea. 47 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000 And we have much better ideas once spring training kicks off. We have some really fun drafts. 48 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Some other things that we're going to touch on once the season gets going. But we wanted to come up with something fun. 49 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,000 And so so here you go. Put this episode on one and a half speed while you're folding your laundry and listen to us draft some teams. 50 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Kenji the floor is yours. You're on the clock. Who are you going to take with the first pick? 51 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Give me Shohei Otani. Yeah. All right. 52 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Are you? Hold on. Now you got to put him in one spot. He's DHing for you. Okay. 53 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:17,000 I want to show my DH. Okay. All right. Not even I didn't even doubt it. I just went for it. 54 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:29,000 I'm going to take Paul Skeens. Okay. Pittsburgh Pirates are off the board. 55 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000 For me, we're still doing next five years, right? If I remember correctly. 56 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Yeah. Next five years. All right. Well, then I'll take Bobby. Take Bobby. 57 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:49,000 I like that. I like that. I mean, I'm kind of being biased here, but 58 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000 You're going to take. Huh? I'm going to take. 59 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000 This is tough because you already have a shortstop. I have a shortstop on DH. 60 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,000 And now the rule for utility, you have a DH, which I don't know if I would have filled up DH first, but 61 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,000 It's Shohei Otani. So utility, you have, it's essentially somebody who can play more than one position. 62 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000 So like we said, Gunnar Henderson could fit there because he can play short and third. 63 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000 We could put who else? A Ha Song Kim there because he can play all over the place. 64 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000 You know, like Tommy Edmund would have been a perfect fit. Yes. You know, you can't anymore. 65 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Jazz Chisholm, I would count as utility because he plays second to play the outfield, that sort of thing. 66 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,000 So if there's any ambiguity for utility spot, that's what it is. 67 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,000 With my second pick, do I load up on pitching or do I go for scarcity? 68 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000 I don't know. It's up to you. Pitching, I feel like is pretty easy to find. 69 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Yeah, there's a lot of good pitchers out there. Indeed there is. 70 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Indeed there is. But there are only a few top guides in the league. 71 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000 I know. We have a sheet here. You guys can't see. We have a sheet full of like the best players in the sport by position. 72 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,000 And so I'm just I'm scouring the sheet as I try to make my decision here. 73 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000 I'm going to take, I'm going to take Aaron Judge. 74 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Okay. And I'm going to put him in right field. Right field. Okay. 75 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000 Maybe he's off the board. I'm going to Tarik Scoobel. 76 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000 Detroit? Yeah, I'm going to Tarik. 77 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000 Okay. Why is that? I mean, we're going to fly through this episode otherwise. 78 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Lefty pitcher. Lefty best pitcher in the league. 79 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:38,000 I mean, his first year healthy, he won the Cy Young and I'm pretty sure he's going to be like the best lefty pitcher in the league for the next five years. 80 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000 He's great. He's phenomenal. He's fantastic. 81 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000 So you have pitcher, shortstop and DH. 82 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000 So I can wait on a shortstop because I'm still going to get one of two guys that I like. 83 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000 That's right. You can. 84 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Now, now I got to play my game. Who do I think you want? 85 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 I already know my next picks. You better hurry up. Geez, man. You're killing me here. 86 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000 I'm going to take Vlad Guerrero Jr. 87 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Good pick. Vlad, I'm taking the Blue Jays off the board and you needed a first baseman. 88 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000 There's still a lot of really good first baseman here. 89 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000 I'm just trying to think how big of an a-hole do I want to be? 90 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000 I mean, this is entertainment. This is entertainment. People will listen to this entertainment. 91 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,000 Third base is a great position, but the guys that I'm looking at third base both play shortstop at the moment. 92 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000 But they both can't play shortstop. You can't do that. They have to go utility. 93 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000 You can't take those guys and put them in third. Really? You can't do that. 94 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000 That's crazy. You can't do that. No, dude. You can't do that. 95 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000 You're telling me I can't move LA or Gunnar to third? No, no, you can't. 96 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Look at the third. There are a lot of good third baseman in the league. 97 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Yeah, but I would much rather have 70 stolen bases from LA Villa Cruz. 98 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000 You can take one of them and put them at utility. I'll let you do that, but you can't put them at third. 99 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000 They're not primary third base. That's lame. That's lame. 100 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:13,000 I'm not being lame. I'm just calling it how it is. It's fine. I'm not upset. 101 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:21,000 Guess I'll take Ronald Acuna right field. I thought about that. Good pick. 102 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:36,000 I thought about that. Still very young. So the Braves are off the board, but I already have first base, so it's okay. I'm not mad. 103 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,000 I'm taking LA Villa Cruz here. A shortstop? Really? Actually, no. No, I'm not. You're right. 104 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Yeah, you're making me feel guilty. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to go Juan Soto and put him in left. 105 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Wow. Good defense. 106 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000 I'm loading up on the outfield, and I have to reserve the right to move Soto to DH later if I want. 107 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Okay. All right. Whatever you say, mister. Let's see. This is hard. It's about... 108 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000 How do you handcuff the other guy? How do you handcuff the other guy? 109 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Outfield is such a good position. Oh, man, dude. Who do I go with? 110 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:29,000 This is tough. 111 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Give me a... Oh, man. This sucks. I can't do this. You know what? Give me LA Villa Cruz. 112 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000 And you're putting him in utility? Ooh. He wants those stolen bags. 113 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:52,000 I do. I do. Okay. I was hoping you would take him or anybody else, honestly, because I am going to take Mookie Betts and put him in my utility spot. 114 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,000 You can't. He's on Dodgers already. Oh, no, you're right. I can't do that. Damn. 115 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Dang it, dude. You took Shohei. 116 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Balls. All right. Well, I was getting excited. Now I'm going to wrench in my plans. 117 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Give me Brent Rooker. Brent Rooker. Thank you. Give me Brent Rooker. That's a lot of power. 118 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Don't sleep on Brent Rooker. I'm not. I'm not. I see you get a lot of power. Okay. Because now I'm realizing we have to start thinking about positions. 119 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000 Yes. Like... 120 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,000 First base, for example, is very limited to what can be drafted. 121 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:53,000 And because of that, I think... 122 00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Oh, man. This is rough. 123 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000 I'm going to go Jaren Duran on left field. 124 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Okay. All right. All right. All right. I'm a big Duran fan. 125 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000 Yeah, Kenji is tennis racket. Tennis racket. 126 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Yeah, beautiful. 127 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000 I'm going to take Zach Wheeler. 128 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000 Dang. He just screwed me with that one. 129 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,000 That was intentional. And Bryce Harper is off the board. 130 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Tristan Costas is off the board. 131 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000 First base is... 132 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000 First base isn't looking too hot anymore. I got to be honest with you. 133 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000 You can't take a brave because he took a Cunha. 134 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Oh, man. This is bad. First base isn't looking so hot. 135 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Can I pick someone who might play that position this year? 136 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000 What are you talking about? No. 137 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000 Who? 138 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000 Mark Vientos. 139 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000 No, you can't take him. 140 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,000 Just because he's been rumored that they want him doing first base drills doesn't mean you can't. 141 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Absolutely not. And you can't take him anyway because I took Soto. 142 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000 Gosh dang. He's on the Mets. 143 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Man, you're going to be stuck with Spencer. Oh, no. You can't even take Spencer Steer or Vinnie Pascuentino or Alec Bohm. 144 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,000 This is bad. This is bad. We're not going to focus on that. 145 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000 And then we're just going to go for a pitcher here. 146 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 I think I'm going to go Logan Gilbert. Give me Logan Gilbert. 147 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000 Really? Okay. Yes. I love his stuff. 148 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,000 And that's about all I can get. Yes, but there's like, well, what about the strategy though? You're not going to... 149 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Well, then I blocked the chance of you getting Julio Rodriguez in centerfield. 150 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000 That's true.
