Ep 30: Max Freeze - Earned HRs, Oscar Mercado, and Rd 15


Listen Later

Please welcome Max!  He's @FreezeStats on Twitter.  We talk about:

0:40 Max's blog and research

4:40 Players who earned more HR than they achieved

9:15 We consider what Dodger Stadium could do for Mookie Betts

14:50 "Not all barrels are created equal" (Launch angle and pulling the ball matter a ton)

20:25 Ozuna - example of a pull hitter who "earned" more than he achieved

22:35 Adding in Alex Chamberlain's "Deserved Barrels"


25:00 We move on to a player debate on Oscar Mercado


Then we discuss rd 15...

38:05 Probably avoid Jo Adell at 210

40:20 Target Justin Upton at 220

41:10 Target Avisail Garcia at 224 (and hope he plays every day!)

42:20 Throw back to "Not all barrels are created equal" -- Max's next research project

43:25 Target Rougned Odor at 217

45:25 Target Jose Urquidy

47:45 Avoid Kolten Wong at 216

48:55 Discussion on Narvaez and other catchers in this range

51:00 One last exhortation to avoid risky closers...although Nick Anderson might be a value even without 20+ saves.
