 Hi everyone, Joe for Jasper's CaseBreaks.com coming at you with a two box break of 2023 Beaumont Draft Baseball Jumbo Edition from a fresh case. This is Pick Your Team 1. All card ship and if you bought a team, any team, you got a chance at the Nationals, which means you got a chance at the Expos, which means you have a chance at Tom Brady's. So big thanks everybody here for making it happen. So now let's gather everybody's names. New dice, new list. Team on top, after five, get an extra team at the Nationals. Good luck. One, two, three, four, and five. Eric M, very close man, but just not quite, appreciate everyone giving this a shot, but only one winner and that's going to be Steven Peay, one of the last teams taken I want to say. So after five, congrats to you. Good luck. So there's also that little rooftop symbol next to your name so you know you won that spot in this randomizer. Now let's go ahead print and rip and we'll see which two boxes we're going to do out of here. There's the final printout. Let's pop open this case, foam and draft jumbo, and you can see from this, my face camera right here, awkward size case. All right, so we're going to go by column right here. So this will be one, two, three, and four. Five or six, we'll just roll again, six, three, one, two, three. We're going to do these two right here, these will take away, and let's see what we've got. We were doing super jumbo yesterday, that's five autographs a box, jumbo three autos a box. A lot of missed opportunities for the Washington Huskies here, I'm looking at the highlights. It's Cochran Pellet. It's kind of a couple of big plays early, put the Washington Huskies in a hole right away. I feel like if that didn't happen, this would have been a lot closer of a game. It looks like Michael Penix was holding, carrying some sort of injury as well. Some dropped passes, a misthrown ball here and there, costly, silly false start holding penalties, erasing some plays, and that's all she wrote. All right, good luck everybody. We've got another two boxer in the store if you want to get after another one. There's Christian Vicaros at 41 out of 75. That'll be for Stephen P and the Nationals. It's a Max Clark paper, believe it or not, we're running out of football games, ladies and gentlemen. Baseball will be right around the corner and we'll start to see how these prospects look maybe in spring training, I'm sure some of those guys will have a little bit of time in spring training and see how they look throughout the minor league season. Matt Shaw is another guy to keep an eye out on. And there's our first autograph for the Cubs, Michael Carrico. That's going to be for Brian Heyman at the Cubbies. Still a handful of free agents I feel like who are still out there who have not been accounted for. Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger still out there. The other Japanese pitcher, Imanga I think, still out there. There's Grayson Hitt, 50 out of 50, gold paper for Chris and the Diamondbacks. Got some Wyatt Langford Glass, nice. It's going to go to Texas. That'll be for Zach. Got Blue Elijah Green to 150. Here, Chris is reminding us JD Martinez still out there. He had a really nice season with the Dodgers last year. I feel like that's JD Martinez. He sounds like a good Mariners signing. Don't they need a DH? A guy that can hit. They got Mariners to have pitching. Could use some hitting around Julio. He could be like another hitting coach as well with the way he approaches the game. Max Clark for Detroit, Zach, Cold Emerson speaking in the Mariners. And Tommy Hawk, not Tony Hawk, Tommy Hawk for the Guardians, Brian with the Guardians. Cleveland, this is for you. Jake Wilson will go to Chris and the A's, Matt Shaw will go to Brian H and the Cubs. The Cold Emerson goes to Allen and Seattle. We've got some paper here, Cole Foster to 499. And there's the Matt Shaw. What were these called again? Some psychedelic shape under their short prints, though. That'll be once again for the Cubs. That'll be for Brian H. Oh, Moodring. Like the back of the card might give me a hint. Got Braden Taylor, draft picks and prospects to 99. Rays, that'll be for Allen. And Nazan Zenitello, purple chrome autograph for Boston. Chris Parent, CP with that one. 26 out of 250. Second round pick. Oh, there's the dog. Takes his dog on the road? It's a giant dog. All right, there's the Paul Skeen's paper. That'll be for Allen and the Pirates. All right, so there are your three autographs. I'll do a quick little recap. How long is this break in a deck? It's maybe about a 30 minute break, yeah. I don't know if the break is around 30-ish minutes or so. I'll do a recap. Anything under that. I'll make a watch the video. Give us those views and clicks. Sad interview time. All right, second box. We got just a quick little two, a quick for Bowman Draft. But it's a quick two box break. We've got another two box in the store. We can run this back tonight. All right, no real baseball news happening here. I guess Cardinals president discussing payroll outlook. Nationals are looking for left-handed power. Yankees and Kevin Smith agree to a deal. Not really earth-shattering headlines here. Cardinals hire Keim Bloom for advisory role. MLB trade rumors had the latest on Shoto Imanaga. I guess we'll take a look at that. It's minor league deals happening here. Rob Brantley, minor league deal. Rock, he's looking for a left-handed hitting outfielder, but they're probably not going to pay for Cody Belanger. The latest on Shoto, Chris Cattillo of Mass Live reports the socks are printed, quote, a long shot to get him on good. Oh, his posting window closes on Thursday, so it's, he's got to figure it out. Bidding for him has apparently been strong. He's drawn interest from a wide range of teams thus far. Angels and Giants are currently leading the candidates. Angels are like, oh, we don't have that Japanese player, but we'll get another one. MLB.com's Mark Feinstein suggests that the Giants are merging as the favorites to sign the Southpaw. Although Feinstein adds that each of the angels covered in red socks remain in the fold to some extent. Oh, there's still a number of ways in which left-handed finalists are, oh, no, no. There's a finalist four source. Other reports I've Japan have the field further narrowed. Yeah, the Japan report was saying Angels and Giants. Everyone's pissed about that. Why the hell does anybody pay in Tiosca Hernandez $23 million? No, I guess the Dodgers are. Why? Didn't, I feel like they really didn't need him. It's like, I don't know. Give that money like, Blake Snell for a year. he'll get a lot of money. I don't think he's worth it though. Oh, Tiosca and Ez. Joe Whitman to 4-9. I mean he's decent, but that's the market nowadays guys like that. He strikes out a lot, but everyone does I guess. 62 out of 199 and Mike Bove. Purple Lunar. Although in this day and age with everyone striking out a lot, if a player is characterized, he strikes out a lot. These strikes have a lot more than he should compared to his peers. Let's take a look at what Tiosca, Hernandez can give us here. So with Seattle, played 160 games, got in 678 played appearances, 26 homers, 93 RBIs, can steal a little bit, seven stolen bases, and an average of 258. Strikes out a third of the time, 31.1%. It's a lot. It was 28 and 25 the year before. It's kind of ballooned a little bit to 31%. And again, even in a strikeout heavy league, you don't like that. I think his splits are a lot better if you look at his splits. Fangrass has a fun value section in their player profiles. I think it takes average salary of all the ball players or something like that and they figure out what one win above replacement is worth. So with Toronto in 2022, he would have been about a $20 million player. The year before that, about a $34 million player. But last year with Seattle, about a $14 million player. If you want to look at it that way. But he's much better versus left-handed pitching. 287 average versus lefties, 249 versus righties. So I think that's where he has more power from the right side. We'll see. I think the end of the day, he's a better option than like the, I don't know, Chris Taylor's of the world. Chris Taylor now becomes like a super utility guy, as opposed to a pseudo everyday guy. Chris Taylor better in the super utility role, I think. Yeah, I guess he's sort of a Max Muncie-ish type Chris Butler saying. I can see that a right-handed Max Muncie. Would that be a good character? There's Bryce Eldridge for the Giants. Chris Butler, that's for you. But I made this analogy when they signed Otani, when Dodger signed Otani. I was like, I mean, when you buy a Ferrari, I mean, you're not, you're not buying a Ferrari just to put crappy tires on it and, you know, put the lowest octane gas in there. That's not what you're doing. You know, at that point, you got to do, you're like, all right, well, I guess, I guess I need the high-performance tires. There's Dylan Head Glass. That's for Padres. That's for the Padres Frown. You know, it's like, all right, got to put in the nice gas. This is kind of wild to think that that's what the college football national championship always reminds me the fact that, A, spring training is around the corner, B, football season. We're starting to see fewer and fewer football games. Yeah, that's a good question, Chris. I don't know why Blake Snell is still available. My guess, I have no inside information. My guess is that he is asking for a lot of money. And I think teams are reluctant to give him a lot of money because he has his, I don't know, he's just got weird seasons. Right? Since he started being a full-time starter, you know, he's gone from four, seven war to seven war, 0.6 war. I mean, he's in the three seasons, he was with the Padres. He's had two mess seasons and then one great season. So is it one of those past performance does not indicate future result? Right? So maybe that's sort of the weird spot where, and here's another Naz and Zenitello autograph for Chris Pairn, the Red Sox. I feel like, you know, Blake Snell is an agent is certainly saying these si young seasons, that's where you're going to get. Si young type seasons. This is where you can get from Blake Snell. You know, meanwhile, other GMs are probably looking at him, you know, looking at him going, then I also see it's like a boomer bust, but for the through the entire season kind of, you know, one year you get mediocre Blake Snell and then a few years later, you might get a si young run out of Blake Snell. And if Blake Snell can convince people, hey, this si young season, I figured it out. I can repeat this in future seasons. That's what he's got to pitch and convince somebody if he is going to get a big contract. Because after, after show to a manga, right? Or Ima Naga, the Japanese pitcher, I mean, that domino will fall before Thursday. And after that, I mean, what are the other big, bigger name free agents? It's got to be Blake Snell. Someone's going to get desperate and sign Blake Snell to a big deal. Here's Cole Young to 250. Otherwise, it might be a thing where Blake Snell, I don't know, maybe he signs like a, maybe if that long contract is not materialized, then maybe he'll accept like a one plus one sort of deal. You know, maybe probably with the Padres. You know, one year and then he gets a knocked out player option. So if he repeats close to what he did last year, you know, then maybe then he can opt out and be like, all right, see, I can do this. Someone give me that big deal and someone probably will at that point. Wyatt Langford. Yeah, I think it's too, too inconsistent. I know. Raise manager did us a favor in that World Series game. And a Jacob Wilson autograph. Nice. Chris Butler. There you go. There's your sixth overall pick right there. Not numbered, but still nice. It's got a good auto, some decent penmanship too, especially for the kids these days. I think that might be our last autograph. There's a Matt Shaw paper, Jacob Wilson paper. We'll stumble into another parallel. Yes, we do. Zach Levinson to 4.99. That's for Eric and the Cardinals. Hey, you're welcome, Chris. Thanks for getting in the same. There you go. That's it, everybody. I think that's the same with Bellinger, I think, you know, people are like, well, you know, it's last season, what's going to be, what is it going to be like going forward? Does it return to MVP era, Cody Bellinger? Or is he going to regress to, you know, is he going to regress? That's the big question, but those for you and Domino still have to fall at some point. Thanks for baseballing with us, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.
