00:03 The Cardinals, by the way, are playing better baseball.
00:06 And he has seven stolen bases on the season.
00:08 So I don't know if this is sustainable.
00:10 I don't expect him to be Ozzie Smith or anything like that.
00:13 But this is sort of what they expected with him and
00:15 Walker, by the way, at the beginning of the year.
00:17 But at least Wynn is still playing and playing in the big leagues.
00:20 >> Walker's actually hitting a triple A.
00:22 I think they will call him up in a bit here.
00:26 Cardinals also play, they play in that England series, right?
00:28 I know a buddy of mine's going to that.
00:29 Have fun, good luck.
00:30 I think basically when you said it, he's a glove first guy.
00:34 So I think you were always going to have to be patient with him, right?
00:37 That they're hitting you hoping it was going to come around.
00:39 Now he's not the sexy name like so many of the other shortstops,
00:42 the wits of the world, and door, and Bichette, da, da, da, da.
00:47 He's not quite that guy.
00:49 I don't think he'll ever be that kind of hitter, by the way.
00:51 So I think he's a guy who's more of a middle infielder for you.
00:54 Even when he's hitting well, he's more of an MI than a starting shortstop for you.
00:58 But the Cardinals are playing better.
01:01 He's someone who, I don't think he can hurt you and
01:02 maybe pick up some bags for you.
01:04 I know, Craig, the biggest problem for most of my teams, almost every team,
01:08 it's not average, certainly not power, it's bags, stolen bases.
01:12 I just, and I know it'll go into every draft.
01:14 I just don't draft for it.
01:16 For whatever reason, I don't do it here.
01:17 I look to pick it up during the season.
01:19 Some people do that with saves.
01:20 I do that with stolen bases.
01:22 >> All right, and then finally, the hottest name in all of fantasy baseball off
01:25 the waiver wire without a doubt is Luis Matos.
01:29 Man, as he electrified the Giants and with, I mentioned,
01:33 Jung Ho Lee being out for the season, it looks like, or
01:35 at least a long period of time, look at these numbers.
01:38 19 runs driven in for Matos since he's come up and
01:42 making these catches over the wall.
01:44 I mean, it says here on Fantasy Pros he's 38% owned.
01:47 I'm gonna guess, George, that after Memorial Day, it's gonna be at least 50%.
01:50 He's been picked up in every league that I have.
01:53 >> Yeah, I think once again, Sunday night's the big pickup in most leagues.
01:56 That percentage is going way up.
01:58 I would agree with you, definitely over 50.
02:00 Once again, I think he's a definition of a hot guy.
02:03 You're not gonna want on your team the whole season, but he's hot.
02:06 And maybe I'm wrong.
02:08 We've seen this before, guys who figure it out.
02:10 And you can't deny he's playing well, I can't say enough.
02:14 Five outfielders, most people, we need outfielders.
02:17 See, everyone's taking a shot at it, see what happens here.
02:20 If it doesn't work out, you move on.
02:21 In a couple of weeks, if it does work out, hey,
02:23 you might have a league winner.
