 Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's CaseBrakes.com. We did it, we knocked out another doubleheader, 2022 Bowman Chrome Baseball, hobby edition, doubleheader, random team three, all card ship. Lot of great stuff here, so let's get going. Big thanks to the people who bought their spots straight up, and thanks to the people who participated in those filler breaks. Congrats again to the people who won spots in the filler, and all 30 baseball teams are in. We're using psychscience.org, because Ram.org is acting a little weird today, so we're using this tonight. All right, and using some live dice, right there. And for names and teams, one and a three, four times. One, two, three, and four. Got Michael down to Joshua. You can see the timestamp right there is the minute, take a look at the minute mark on that. All right, one and a three, four times for the teams. One, two, three, and four. You got Tigers down to the White Sox. Ooh, now you're talking to us. Maybe some Jaspy logo dice, that'd be pretty cool. Michael with the Tigers, Joe with the Yankees, Joshua Metz, Twins, Rockies, Brew Crew. Joe, Giants and Padres, Ryan with the Reds, Sean with my Dodgers, Chris with the Mariners, Joe with the Marlins, Ryan G with the Halos, Dylan with the Royals, Matthew with the Cardinals, A's and Cubs, Alex with the Nationals, Matthew with the Orioles, Joshua with the Pirates and Rangers, James with the Red Sox, Joe with the Rays, Matthew A with the Diamondbacks, Matthew S with the Guardians, Joshua with the Braves, Joe with the Phillies, Michael with the Astros, Joshua with the Blue Jays, and the White Sox. All right, now let's sort by, alphabetized by team and we're gonna pause the video for a few moments. When we come back, we're gonna see if there's, we'll see if there's any trade, stick around, BRB. All right, welcome back everybody, no deals were done, so settle in, got a long break to go. Here on Thursday the 15th, your Thursday, my Friday. And thanks everyone for getting in on it and for making this happen, I appreciate it. Appreciate the late night efforts, the late night rally by Joshua and Michael and everybody, fillin' that filler pack. Where's Alex on, Alex? Wake up, Alex. He's been talkin' about that doubleheader all day. I don't want him to miss it live if he's awake. I think he's on the, I wanna say Alex is on the West Coast. Yes, there he is. All right, I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure you're on the West Coast, right? I was like, he can't be asleep yet. Nationals, that's a good draw too. That's right, yeah, yeah, I thought you were. He's not asleep yet. Even on a school night, it's not that late. On the West Coast, you know what, sorry. You can fast forward through this part if you're re-watching this video. If you're watching live, you're just stuck with it and you wanna take this, I just wanna take this out of inventory. If I don't do it now, I'll forget and I'll screw up the numbers. And that's what, 12, 24 boxes, nice. All right, well, settle in, ladies and gentlemen, this is gonna pretty much take us to the end of the broadcast. We're gonna do a quick filler pack after that. And as I promised, if that third promo break, museum collection, flawless, or that two-case team random, if one of those fills tonight or more, we won't be able to do the break until tomorrow. We're just right out of time for the breaking part of it, but I'll still run the promo. I'll still give away the money. A little compromise. I'll still give away the money. You'll just have to wait until tomorrow, but I'll still do it. Jason will be live tomorrow with the new releases and you can start the day off with whatever fills tonight. Not too many coasts in the Midwest, you know. All right, you know, in these longer breaks, we generally wander off into different bits of conversation, but we gotta start with baseball talk first before we go into something else. Carlos Redone, agreeing to a deal with the Yankees. What does everyone think about that? Let's get everyone's take on that. Yankees agreeing to sign, agreeing to Carlos Redone's, he wanted six or seven years, the Yankees are like, sure. To a guy that had two great seasons last two years, but really not much before that. No, I don't think, yeah, boo Yankees is Alex. I don't think Danesby signed with anybody yet. Well, now that Correa is with the Giants, you know, it's looking like Danesby will be the next shortstop Domino to fall, the next bigger contract to go. I don't think it's gonna be as big as any of the other short stops, but I'm sure he's happy that the market worked out that way because I feel like he can get a deal done as well. All right, there's Bobby Whit Jr. for the Royals. So you got to think that whoever missed out on the the Correa, Bogarts, Trey Turner sweepstakes are probably looking at Danesby Swanson. Dodgers would do it if he wanted to do a short deal and take a bite of the free agent apple again. There's Louis, oh, raised by the way is Joe Simone, Luis Rodriguez to 250 for the Dodgers, that's for Shawn Matic. Wanda Franco for the raise as well, also for Joe, Luis Rodriguez goes to Shawn Matic, got randomized my Dodgers. And for Boston, there's Sedan Rafella, 307 out of 499 refractor autograph for James Hanna, got randomized the Red Sox. We've got Royzmar Quintana to 199 for Alex Donnelly and the Nationals. But I wonder, you know, maybe some teams are like, oh man, you know, with so many big shortstop names well now that these short stops are locked up, what if Danesby just goes, hey, I'm gonna all take a short three year deal with somebody or maybe a two in an opt out or something like that. Just so I can get a bite at the free agency apple really raise my stock and I could be another $300 million shortstop, you know? Chilo who's our resident Royz fan with his daily Royz report, Royz signing guys no one's heard about but he's trusting the process. Yeah, hopefully, and Dennis is saying and the Yankees still won't win at all. That might be, that might still be true. Still a bit of a, still a bit of a crapshoot once it gets into the playoffs. Alex is hoping that Danesby would, I think would fit nicely in Seattle. New manager saying the guys that you need is basically already there. Young guy, great, right? Why not develop the next guy that's gonna get a $300 million contract? They got Bobby Whit Jr. there. But yeah, we'll see that formidable pitching staff though for the Yankees. Is Aaron Judge not named captain yet? I'm sure he will be in due time. Just run spring training rules around, make it all official. I saw a little bit of news on MLB network where they're like Michael Conforto is looking for a short-term deal to maybe turn that into a long-term deal. You know what? That sounds like the sort of deal the Dodgers would do. Before his injury, I mean, he was a one-time All-Star. You know, at best he could be good for like 250, 250, 30 home runs, that kind of thing. 30 doubles. Decent outfield. Decent defense. We got Yendri Rojas for Joshua and the Pirates. Thanks, Josh, for getting this going. I appreciate it. The gang appreciates it. They appreciate you. There's Alex De Jesus, 299. Speckle for the Dodgers, Sean Matic. Jose Ramirez to 150 for Cleveland. That's for Matthew Chara. I thought once he signs that deal, you make him the next captain. Oh, just like right then and there? I don't know. I don't know how that process works. Is it, I'd be different for every team. Did I read off these numbers to 299 and the blue to 150? Our shipping team, our sorting and shipping team will sleeve and top or top load those once. They get that just in the interest of time. We want to move a little more quickly. Danny D'Andrade for the twins. That's going to be for Joshua. Yeah, I saw that too Rex. Brandon McKay signed a two year minor league deal with the Reyes. Oh, he's still with the Reyes. I didn't realize he, yeah, I feel like no one else was going to get injuries. I think got him. There's Colson Montgomery for the White Sox. He was supposed to be, I mean, he was on the cover of a lot of Bowman boxes. He was supposed to be another two way player like Otani. That's how he was being touted. Joshua Edelitz with that one. But I think just a lot of injuries started creeping up and slowing him down. And it's just really bogged down his progress. And yeah, I think that's that, you know? So he's still a work in progress. Could be a late bloomer, but definitely a work in progress. But a lot of times that free agency could be a little weird. You got to, sometimes you got to go with the guy that, the guy that you develop, you know? So it's harder for teams to just get a guy that you don't know and pay him. Although this office is a little bit different, but, but you know, these big contracts is the people you don't know. Like think about it. Daner Bogarts came up with the Red Sox developed by the Red Sox. He knows the owners. He knows the front office. He knows the coaches. People are checking in with him all the time, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, and then you play there. You play successfully at Fenway. And that team really knows you. Trainers know you. Doctors know you. You know, the, the team travel secretaries know you. Equipment managers, all these people, there's a certain comfort with that. So I mean, think about how odd it is where you're San Diego and you're signing this guy for 13 years. What do you really know about this person? Unless some of the front office people had some relationships with him previously, but you're just basically talking to him, maybe doing a quick one day visit with him, saying, hey, how do you like it here? What do you think? You just do a day long interview. And then, I mean, obviously the, the stats are out there, but you don't know what kind of person he is. There's Colin Burns, speckle auto to 299. That's for the O's. It'll be from Matthew Sharra. So I get, that gets pretty, that gets pretty interesting. Just dropping that big, that kind of money for those, for, for someone that you hardly know, what if the chemistry doesn't work out, you know? This isn't like MLB the show. You can't just sign everybody, put it together and have the numbers work out. You know, what if, what if him and Tatees Junior, who also has another double, double digit year contract? What if they don't like each other? These guys, no opt outs, no, no trade clauses. What if they don't like each other? Ooh, gold speckle, Michael Burrow is 29 out of 50. Good looking card for Joshua and the Pirates. Yeah, that's the risk, right? Michael is just like, that's the risk. Zach Veen refractor to 499. Rockies, that'll be for Joshua. 35 out of 250. Yeah, hopefully that's the case. You should be happier when your team's better. I don't know, but obviously, you know, if you're the GM, you know, winning cures all disagreements, right? So I guess the idea is, well, you know, when you're winning, no, there won't be any, but I don't know. I don't know if there's a personality clash, who knows? I mean, you're committing for a long time. Way back in the day, you know, when Kershaw was becoming a free agent for the first time, there was like, there was like some extension talk that would make him a dodger for life and I was going to be like a 15 year deal or a 12 year deal or something crazy like that. And he'd be the highest paid pitcher for a long time. This and that would be the biggest contract of its time sort of thing. And he didn't take it. And I think he opted to take a shorter deal. I think it was like a six or seven year deal. Still a lot of money, but a shorter deal. And the last few couple of years, it's just been, you know, 20, $25 million contracts at the time, which I think has worked out for him. I think if you do the math, I think he's actually made a little bit more money than that contract would have given them or something like that. Vince Scully, former RIP, former TV broadcaster for the Dodgers since the Brooklyn days. I think he was on year to year deals as well. Dodgers have made him offers, hey, give me years and give me a number and we'll make it work. It's Chris Buckholz with Seattle. I think Vince Scully for the longest time went year to year. There's Matt Manning, Green to 99 for the Tigers. That'll be for Michael P. And Julio Rodriguez, rookie car. No, yeah, Kersh is doing fine. Got a Spencer Torgelson refractor. There's a good bounce back candidate. We want to see that. And there's Daniel McElvenny for James and the Red Sox. Gilo say, I'm the Vince Scully of Group Red. I'd like to think so. I try to pattern some of my, try to pattern some of my broadcasting of breaks with what I've learned from Vince Scully to 125. You know what, the one thing Vince Scully used to do, he, when there's a big home run or something like that, he would stay silent. He wouldn't say anything. Let the crowd noise, you know, fill the, you know, fill the broadcast. And so there's Yankeele Fernandez for Rocky's Josh and Ryan Donkone for the Dieter, Sean Maddick. So that's why sometimes when there's a big hit, I don't need to be yelling and screaming. These shimmers, by the way, not numbers. That's why I'm breezing by those, but all hardship. But yeah, you know, I don't need to yell and scream. The card will do the talking, you know? Oh, SGC doing a little special. That's pretty good. Check it out. I do remember Clay Buckholz. I think we looked at the back of the card run one time and I think he, there was nothing, I don't know if, oh, it wasn't an autograph. I guess next time I spot a Buckholz card will do. I don't think he's related to him. Clay Buckholz might be too young to have a kid that would be, unless he had a kid really young. Nice, that's a good deal, Michael. Just for Bowman stuff, Bowman Chrome stuff, or any Bowman stuff? You know, 23rd. Yeah, I'll remind someone, but feel free to send another message again. 23rd, it seems to be a while, but yeah. Oh, listen, it's only Horde. The Reds are only bad if they don't hit. Ryan, those just non-stop Reds hits. No one else was hidden. If the monster teams don't get anything, which is possible, the Reds aren't so bad. Now, I will tell you that some shipping, just because of the holidays, is gonna get a little crazy. Even from as far back as the 23rd. 346 out of 499, Jack Herman. There's an O'Neill Cruz rookie card, and Alec Baum to 250. Pirates is for Joshua. The O'Neill Cruz and the Pirates Otto, Joe Simone with the Phillies. Oh, Christian Vicaros, I'm one of the guys we're looking for. Matthew Shiraz, Cleveland. There's Dylan Carlson to 299, and 15 out of 150, Edison Paulinho. Boston Red Sox, James Hanna. Although I think the Reds in a two-case break, I think still would have been a couple hundred dollars. I don't think you were minus too much. What's the cost of the break? 235? I think the Reds still would have been like a $200 team maybe in a dual-case break. It's Blaze Jordan 299. So dollar-wise, I don't think you missed out too much. By that much. You're not angry about the cost, you're just angry about the Reds, all right, I get it. Hey, I mean, what, Reds aren't making big free agent moves anytime soon, Ryan. Those guys, these guys will eventually, those Reds prospects here in Bowman Chrome will eventually be called up, maybe boost their value, maybe sell high. Rex, did you say possible younger brother for Clay Buckholtz? I just looked up Clay Buckholtz. He's 38 years old. I think he has a brother that's 18 years younger than him? I suppose it's possible. I shouldn't say, I shouldn't say that, but most of these guys are what, between 18 and 20 years old or something like that? At 38, I mean, unless he had a kid right at like 18, 18 or 20, when he would be like 18 or 20, I guess, I mean, we'll look. Next time I run to a Buckholtz card, I'll take a look. Could be. There's Wilfred Veras, White Sox. I think age difference between David and Derek, maybe five or six years. There's Ronald's brother, 195 out of 499. He's Luis Angel and Brian Acuna, Brian Acuna on the twins. They're a little more, that age range makes sense. There's Ronald. All right, thanks, Ryan Harrell. Good to see you, man. I'll see you, today's my Friday, but I'll see you at some point next week, I'm sure. There's Emmanuel Valdez, maybe in this for the Astros Michael P for the Stros. Michael's saying, I mean, you're 19 years old. Playing for the Tuscaloose of Barons, you know. One thing leads to another and there you go. Matthew Chara with the A's. Ricardo Cabrera for the Reds, 47 out of 250. Purple Shimmer and Christian Vecchero for Alex Donnelly and the Nacionals. All right, next box. Yeah, they got a pretty good farm system. All right, another box, another two autos. I guess I am looking at the Clay Buckholtz Wikipedia page. I feel like they would have, I feel like they usually put family info here. Doesn't say anything about him having a son in Major League Baseball. Or a brother that's like 20 or younger than him. Clay Buckholtz had that one great season. He was an all-star, finished like top 10 in Cy Young, top six in Cy Young voting. That 2010 season with the Red Sox, made 28 starts, 173 innings. Went 17 and seven with a 233 ERA. That's pretty good, 120 strikeouts. All right, there's Benjamin Cowles. 19 out of 100 atomic refractor. It's true, it is not a common name. Although, you know what it could be, it could be like, well now I gotta look this up. Could be like an uncle, right? Clay Buckholtz's dad may have a younger brother that had a younger kid. There's C.J. Abrams, 133 out of 199. Now I'm looking for another Buckholtz card. Right, so yeah, like a cousin, that could be it. C.J. Abrams for the Padres, that'll be for Joe, and Yanquil Fernandez for the Rockies. So the net, ooh, red coming in. Ooh, that's a nice one too. Is that a proper red, not a fake red? There's Jake Rucker for the Twins. Purple Chrome, 161 out of 250. That will be for Joshua. The Goldschmidt Refractor to 499. We'll go to Matthew Sharrah and the Cardinals. And here is Luis Angel Acuña, red. Red Ranger going to Joshua. Five out of five, Josh Edelitz, with Ronald Acuña's younger brother. He's supposed to be from what I'm, from what little I've heard. I think he's supposed to be pretty good too. Joshua, all aboard the Big Hit Express, whoop whoop. Number eight, Rangers Prospect, yeah. Best defensive infielder in the Baseball America system. Speedy runner, tough to whiff, sneaky power. And I think the youngest is on the Twins. All right, another box. Like a fairly decent case so far. Got a little orange there peeking out. I mean, maybe next case Super Fractor? Are we feeling that? We're not gonna go anywhere for a little bit. Lot of cards. Super in this case, we do have four boxes plus this fifth one right here in front of me. It's possible. That'd be a hell of a case. Got a red and a super. All right, onwards. There's Mason Jar Hour for the Rays. That's gonna be Joe Simone. Got Trey Sweeney to 125. That's for the Yankees. That's gonna go to Joe. We got Willie Fanas from the Bronx to Queens. It's gonna go to Joshua and the New York Mets, not your Paltons. And nice orange, Caleb Killian. Arizona Folly, card 10 out of 25. Matthew Sharaw, Cubbies. Yeah, I like the Rays farm system as well. They've got a lot of guys. Torkelson Tigers, Michael P. Wander Franco, Joe and the Rays. Bobby Whit Jr. That's for Dylan and the Royals. All right, final third of the case coming up. Four boxes to go. We've got some end of season farm system rankings. Cornermob.com. This is written on late August of 2022. Orioles, they're ranking number one. With top prospects, Gunnar Henderson. Shortstop, third baseman. Pitcher, right-hander, Grayson Rodriguez. Shortstop, Jackson Holiday. Outfielder, Colton Cowser. Infielder, Jordan Westberg. And D.L. Hall, lefty. This is the third straight time. This is the writer writing. This is the third straight time the Orioles have landed the top spot. It's now five ranks in a row. Baltimore's had a top 10 farm system. They stay atop the rankings even after losing Adley Rushman to graduation. As the Oztel, the two of the top four prospects in all of baseball. Three in the top 15. Six in the top 100 overall. And having number one overall pick in the, I guess, the previous year's draft doesn't hurt. Top end talent, depth up and down the system. Curricity of the entire draft and renewed efforts in Latin America. Their pre-season, Orioles pre-season rank was one. And now their post-season end of season rank, they end at one. So that also suggests that none of those prospects kind of had down years in their farm systems. Got promoted where they need promotion and so on and so forth. Cubs, Matthew Sharad. Yeah, bet the O's to win the World Series three years from now. Yeah, I don't think, I don't know. Maybe you can get some offshore to make a line for you. There's Houston, that's for Michael P. Julio Rodriguez goes to Seattle. And Chris Buckholz. 86 out of 199. Won Bin Cho, the South Korean. And from St. Louis, we go to Toronto. Esteven Machado autograph. So Cardinals, that's Matthew Sharad. We'll get Cho. And Machado going to Toronto. That'll be for Joshua. And Jordan Lawler for Arizona. That'll be for Matthew Akins. 23 out of 199. Luis Mesa. One out of 99 for Toronto. Roderick Arias for New York. It's gonna go to Joe. Next. Wait, were we talking about Buckholz in this set or were we talking about Chris Buckholz who has the mariners? I'm using myself now. Second best farm system, their preseason rank was five. They ended at two, my Los Angeles Dodgers. Their top 100 prospects. Diego Cartaya, catcher at number nine. Bobby Millerite at 27 to Gal Vargas, 44. Third base outfielder, second base outfielder, Michael Bush, outfielder Annie Pogas, Ryan Pepio, Gavin Stone. I think this is a reason why. Let's read the blurb. The Dodgers continue to marry winning in the majors with churning out impact talent in the minors. They're en route, en route, en route. They're en route, en route. How would I say it? They're en route to setting a franchise record for victories for the third trade poll season. This was written in August, 2022. And top all organizations with seven top 100 prospects. Among that group, Pepio is in Los Angeles, Miller, Vargas, Bush, and Stone are all knocking on the door in triple A. I think that's one of the reasons, there are a lot of reasons about what the Dodger doing in a free agency or in the off season, which is not much, you know? Because they spent on Mookie Betts, they spent on Freddie Freeman. They got some guys under contract, some nice guys under contract. Some guys will have to pay, youngsters will have to pay later on. There's Albu Pujols to $4.99. And there's Won Bin Cho, or Choi Won Bin. If you wanna do it in Korean. Matthew with the Cardinals. Some Cardinals fans in here a week or so ago who are really excited about his prospect. I think he's, yeah, became first amateur to ink with St. Louis. A lot of times these guys end up in the pros before the majors even looks at him. So to get, to sign an Asian kid, a Korean or even a Japanese player, to sign one of those guys out of high school, they must have really, must have seen something in him. O'Neill Cruz, Pirates, Joshua, Jason Kurio, Speckle, Matthew, it's $2.99. And going back to the Dodger, I just think that that's their, they wanna get under the luxury tax too. They wanna be flexible payroll-wise. They're more likely to be in the trade market because the luxury tax also accounts for deals that you make, the trades that you makes. I think the strategy is, hey, we've got these great youngsters. We've got seven in the top 100, which is more than any other team. And a lot of these guys are AAA guys. So let's see what they can do and then reevaluate trade deadline. There's Ryan Reckley for San Francisco that goes to Joe and the Giants. I think the Dodgers should be a little more active in the trade market before the season though, I would think. There may be some young guys that single-A, double-A guys that they could move along and then start working those AAA guys. I mean, Bobby Miller, Miguel Vargas, Michael Bush, Gavin Stone, a lot of them, I mean, half that group has a good chance of getting out of the, I mean, there could be like, let's say if Diego Cartaya kills it in spring training, I mean, there's a shot that they may trade Austin Barnes, a great defensive catcher to a team that needs a great defensive catcher, get some other guys back in return. You know, I'll have to look at that, well, it looks like out of the top 100, Luis Rodriguez, because this little blurb is only showing top 100 prospects, but a key can't be too far outside that. Third on the list, if you're curious, this article is written late August, 2022, Cleveland Guardians, they started the pre-season at ranked 12th farm system, ended the minor league season ranked three with Daniel Espino, George Valera, Gavin Williams, Brian Roqueo and Bo Nailer as their top 100 prospects. Guardians excel at signing talented young hitters and helping pitchers take their stuff to another level. Jose Ramirez, Shane Bieber are the best big league examples and all five of their top 100 prospects fall into those two categories. The farm should make a huge impact in Cleveland shortly with 13 of its 15 best prospects having reached double A or higher. So that's another, and that's a, you know, if you're a GM, that's one of the smart things to do, right, is you kind of try to create windows, different windows. So here's a group where 13 of its 15 best prospects reached double A or higher, you know, all together, right? Now there's gonna be some, there's Brian Acuna, there's gonna be some, you know, not all of those 13 are gonna be major leaguers, right? But even let's say half of them, let's say five or six of them become regular major leaguers. That's great. Let's say if two or three of those become superstars, that's what you wanna see. There's CJ Rodriguez, 15 out of 250. For the A's, that'll be for Matthew, Shira. There's Lonnie White Jr., refractor to 499. Denzer Guzman, purple shimmer to 250. For the Angels, that'll be for Ryan, Ryan Gamsby. Lonnie White for the Pirates, that'll be for Joshua. There's Christian Pache for the A's, refractor to 499 for Matthew, Shira. And Jorbit Vivas, 70 out of 99. Green, Dodgers, traumatic. Julio Rodriguez, Rodolfo Castro, and is that a green? Yeah, Green Chrome, Wander Franco. Joe Simone, Tampa Bay Rays, 82 out of 99. There's Luis Rodriguez, 12 box, 12 box, and then guess what, we've got another case. So yeah, it looks like this case, we're at the 50 minute mark right now. So yeah, that should be just under an hour, and then another hour, maybe a tiny bit longer if I start dragging a little bit. Cincinnati Reds are your number four. According to mlb.com, your number four ranked farm system at the end of the minor league season. Their pre-season rank was 15. They climbed up to four, top 100 prospects, Ellie, Della Cruz, shortstop third base at number 15, LLB Marte, shortstop at number 18, Edwin Arroyo, shortstop number 55, Cam Collier, third baseman number 63, and Matt McClain at number 76. The Reds, this is good writing right here. The Reds restocking, the Reds stockings, I have a Red Sox reference, but the Reds restocking has come in a variety of ways. Their last two first round draft picks are in the top 100, and international signings ascension give them one of the most exciting prospects in baseball, but it's been the trade market where Cincinnati has restocked its system the most with nine of its top 30 and eight of the top 15 coming in deals. In addition to that intriguing town on the top, this is the deepest the system has been in some time. And then of course, one of these teams, will they spend the money to keep these players or add to a young crop? There's Evan Lee, 233.299, Alex Donnelly, Washington Nationals, Marco Luciano, to 125. Might have to move off that position with Carlos Correa there now. Christian Yelich, blue, to 150 for the brew crew. It's gonna go to Joshua. Matt Manning, refractor to 499, Joey Gallo spilling out there. And there's Antonio Pinheiro for the brewers, Joshua. Matt Manning will go to the Tigers. I'll be for Michael P. Keep Brian Hayes, Pirates. 42 out of 199? Yeah, out of 199, that Aqua lava parallel. All right, one case down, another case to go. And then we'll do a big auto recap at the end. Diamondbacks pretty much unchanged. They started the season at four, they ended at five. Arizona is the only organization with three prospects ranked among the Pipeline's top 13 overall. Corbin Carroll, Drew Jones, right, Andrew Jones's kid. Jordan Lawler, Brandon Fatt. Yeah, three prospects ranked in that among the top 13, following the addition of Drew Jones and the impressive years of Corbin Carroll and Jordan Lawler. It's a far draw from them to Fatt, who looks like he has the best chance to emerge from a glut of AA and AAA arms to become a bona fide major leaguer in Phoenix. But don't read too much into that one-spot drop, Diamondbacks held serve as a solid rebuilding system that stands out more for its high ceiling talent than its depth. Ranger started the season nine, ended six. Josh Young, Jack Leiter, Al Leiter's kid, I think. I think that's Al Leiter's kid. Because Zach Pleasack, I think, is Dan Pleasack's nephew. Anyway, Jack Leiter, Evan Carter, Owen White, Justin Foskew, Brock Porter. Rangers have improved their standing for the fourth straight ranking, thanks to a combination of potential star talent and depth. They may have their deepest crop of pitching prospects ever, starting with Leiter, White, Porter, Kumar Rocker, Cole Wynne, who were signed out of the draft for a combined 21.5 million, the well-stocked position players well led by Young, Carter, Foskew, and Luis Angelacunha. I mean, Rangers have spent a lot of money on players. There's Logan Cerny, 22 out of 499, refractor autograph of the Phillies, Joe. But I still think they could have a lot of young, it is Al Leiter's kid, okay, yeah, they could have a lot of young players surrounding that pricey core. And since those young players will be all team controlled and all that, I think that could be a chance for them to spend even more money, which is kind of crazy to think about. We've got Edison Paulinho for Boston. That's gonna be for James Hannah. Speckle autograph, 38 out of 299. Well, I call the speckle parallels pop nicely. Ryan Mountcastle, Purple Chrome to 250. It'll be for Matthew and the Orioles. Team seven, Pirates. Start of the season at seven, end of the season ranked seventh best farm system according to MOB.com. Because of Henry Davis, Tirmar Johnson, Quinn Priester, Liova Pragueiro, Nick Gonzalez. This is the fourth straight time the Pirate system is in the top 10, even though they lost O'Neill Cruz and Ronzi Contreras to graduation. They did add 2022 first rounder, Tirmar Johnson. This remains a very deep farm system, bolstered by trade acquisitions and some aggressive drafts, especially the last two years. And I think they got, this was the first year of the draft lottery. Remember, this article was written in August. So this was the first year of the draft lottery. They also have a number one overall pick too. Raise rank three, dropped to eight. Taj Bradley, Curtis Mead, Carson Williams. On one hand, this is the lowest the raise of ranks in 2017. On the other hand, the 12th consecutive time Tampa Bay has slotted in the top 10 and MLB Pipeline record. Graduation by Shane Boz, Josh Lowe, Tupper Years for Greg Jones, Xavier Edwards have taken a little edge off, but Ascensions of Bradley and Mead are there. Yeah, Mike Tower saying, yeah, what about Henry Davis? Yeah, Henry Davis is on Pittsburgh, as we just mentioned. But what about Henry Davis? Yes, he was. There's Alex de Jesus, 105 out of 150. That'll be for the Dodgers. Is there a follow-up to that, Mike Tower? There's Leonardo Balcazar, 29 out of 150. Oh, just calling him out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Definitely mentioned Henry Davis as one of their top prospects. They have former number one overall pick. And I think we know this. Number 20 overall in the top 100. Pirates, another team where teams are begging them, hey, spend some money, hold on to some of these guys. Let's start building something. Now there's Ronesi Contreras. Another Evan Lee for Alex. I thought you had something extra for us, Mike Tower. I was like, oh, we're gonna get a Mike Tower factoid. Harry Ford, 74 out of 199. And we got a Bowman inside. I don't think we saw one of these in the first case, right? They're short printed. I don't think they're generally cases, but I guess they don't always land one per case. But here's Oscar Colas for the White Sox, Joshua Edelitz with that one. We've got Chris with the Mariners, Harry. We've got Drew Baker, 175 to 199. All right, so Pirates at seven, Rays at eight, Rockies at nine. Their pre-season rank was 24. And they jumped all the way up to nine. Thanks to Zach Veen, Zeke Otovar, Adeel, Amador, and Drew Romo. Rockies had been making small incremental progress up the ranks until this huge leap, putting them in the top 10 for the first time since 2017, when we only did a top 10. We weren't any big trades, but it was a combination of several players already in the system, breaking out as top-notch prospects. Three of the four top 100 prospects systems were not on the list at the start of the season. And then a strong 2022 draft class, six from the top 100 of our top, six of the top 100 of our draft top 250, or now Rockies, it's a little mouthful, then they added seven new names to a much deeper top 30. Rex's Cubs at number 10. Pre-season rank 18, got a 10 thanks to Pete Pro Armstrong, Brennan Davis, and Kevin Alcantara. The Cubs system hasn't been this deep since Chicago was assembling the talent that won the 2016 World Series. Though all three of their top 100 prospects are outfielders, they're pitching depth, which is what they need in recent years, is also notable. Most of their best arms have been acquired in the last 13 months, including Cade Horton, Jordan Wicks, Ben Brown, Jackson Ferris, Hayden Wesnisky, and Caleb Killian. Now Rex was saying earlier, that's what I'm gonna say the Cubs are doing, not getting guys to rely on their farm. They should rely on the farm though. Let's keep it rolling. There's Michael Burroughs, Pirates 26 out of 4.99, Refractor Autograph. There's Alexis Hernandez to 1.99. For the Cubbies, that's gonna be for Matthew Schirra. That's for Mercy, you got some gold coming up here. Gold Jay Allen, Gold Shimmer, 12 out of 50. For Ryan H and the Red Legs. They did go up, Rex. Their pre-season rank was 18, and they went up to 10 at the end of season ranking. Although I think like most of these team, most of these rankings are based off of individual performance is not necessarily, oh look at that, they like double Santhus, 25 out of 4.99. Looks like it went through the machine twice. That'll go to the Dodgers, that'll be for Sean Maddock. Oh, almost missed that. Nelson Velasquez, the Stripes and then the Auto kinda fools me a little bit. Nelson Velasquez, Arizona Folly Godograph going to Matthew Schirra and the Cubs. It's number to 100. There's Chris Buckholz. No, no relation to Clay. Sorry, I thought we had found, I was confused. I thought we were talking about a Buckholz in this set. That's where I got confused a little bit. And I was saying like, man, Clay Buckholz would have had to have a kid really early if he has a kid in Bowman Chrome. No, but Chris Buckholz who is just checking in right now. He said, no, I could be his father, he's 52. Your two oldest met him and hung out with Clay Buckholz while he was in Portland, nice kid. So we were like, hey, we got, do you guys spell it the same? We'll be like, hey, we're Buckholz's too. Mm, I think the, Chris, Chris saying I think the bottle got the best of it. I don't really think he blossomed to his full potential. Yeah, we were looking at his stats a little bit earlier and there were some dominant years there and then continued flashes of brilliance. All right, so we'll listen, we're out of the top 10. We're not gonna go through this entire list that in depth out of the top 10, we will go through the rest of the teams and some players here. Boston's at 11, pre-season ranked 14th and went up a little bit to 11th. Marcello Meyer shortstop, which maybe explains why they weren't too terribly bullish about retaining Xander Bogarts, although they could have moved Xander to like third or second or something like that. Tristan House is Tristan Casas and Brian Bellow. Marcello Meyer's eight in all of baseball, top 100, according to baseball.com, mlb.com. Tristan Casas is 26, Brian Bellow is 37. Yankees pre-season ranked 13 and at 12, they didn't move up too much, but Anthony Volpe, number five, Jason Dominguez, 42, Oswald Paraza, 53 and Austin Wells at 87 are there guys. Yeah, I think it might be a year or two before we start seeing, you might see Jason Dominguez get a cup of coffee. That could be a hell of an outfield once Jason Dominguez gets up there. And then behind Wander Franco is a hit for the Phillies, William Bergola, Philadelphia, that goes to Joe. Did you hear about the Trump NFTs I used to promote? He's promoting them as sports cards. Each is $99 and then each time you buy you get a chance to win prizes. One is dinner with him, one is golf with him. That could be interesting. I read this article where apparently his golf etiquette is not that great. There's a match having the two, like he drives his golf cart onto the greens and stuff like that. Maybe it's a course that he owns. He could do whatever he wants, right? You're the owner of the course. It's Trey Turner, 146 out of 150, $3 million man. What is the state of the world with NFTs? I feel like the shine has come off on those NFTs a little bit. Jeremy Pena, nice. Rookie refractor to 499. That's for the Astros, Michael P. And Adrian Segesti, that's for the Giants. That's gonna be for Joe. Will he find us refractor to 499? Yeah, I think so too. I think he has the course record on a lot of courses. All right, Cardinals were 16. They're now slightly up to 13. Guys like Jordan Walker, Mason Nguyen, Gordon Graceffo, Matthew Libertor, Alec Burleson, Tink Hentz, are guys pushing him out there. New York Mets went from 20 to 14. Francisco Alvarez, Brett Beatty, Kevin Parada, Alex Ramirez. Except Francisco Alvarez, that catcher is the number one overall and that's just in the top 100. MLB.com's top 100. Nationals went from 23 to 15 with Robert Hassel. Oh, right, that was part of the Juan Soto deal, right? Robert Hassel, Elijah Green, James Wood. Ooh, piece of candy. And Kate Cavalli. Marlins went from number six and dropped to 16. That must have graduated a lot of guys. No, maybe not. Yeah, some graduations, injuries and disappointing performances, all right. But Uri Perez, Max Meyer, Jacob Berry are some guys there. Number 17 is the A's. Went from 22 to 17 at the end of the year. Che Lang Lears, Tyler Sodastrom, Ken Wadichuk, and Zach Gelaugh. I think that Sean Murphy trade must have yielded some extra prospects for them too. But I'm in a blockchain. I mean, I think that's the very building block of cryptocurrencies, right? Of Bitcoin, the blockchain's still around. The Padres, there's Harlan Suzana. That'd be for Joe and the Friars. Yeah, we haven't gotten to Mariners yet, Alex. There's Wander Franco to 199. That'll be for the Reyes, Joe. Use a lot of Bullfrog too. Oh, Chris, you might be lagging behind just a little bit. I feel like we're at a little time separation between our responses in your chat. Oh, the blockchain cards they put in products. Yeah, I don't know. I think that might still be around. I don't wanna talk too much about another company. Topspom and Break 192 out of 250. Emmanuel Valdez, Astros, that'll be for Michael P. Jay Allen to 299. Yeah, I mean, they're onto that now. All that sticky stuff. They're definitely onto that now, Chris. Husky Dolphins, top shots of those still. I think so. Not as, definitely not as viral as it was before. I don't know. I think we still have a long way to go before any of that sort of stuff. I think NFTs and crypto and stuff really gets a bigger foothold. But hey, these will be the growing pains. I think, you know, could be anywhere from 10, 15, 20 years later. We'll probably look back to 2022, especially with FTX and all that and these crypto exchanges like struggling. I'll bet people will look back here and just be like, man, what noobs in 2022? Could be completely different in 10, 15 years. But with anything like this, stuff like cryptocurrency, I think, I don't know much about it just, but you know, in terms of, but from what basics I know, you know, like, there are good points to it. There is a framework in which the world could use something like that. Very much in baby stages. I think they cover this in science fiction, but when you can buy, sell actual memories, or anything, when can you buy and sell actual memories? That's what NFTs are supposed to be, right? Antonio Pinheiro, that actually has a space. I think it works, I think it works better as an extra layer of like, maybe copyright protection in a certain way. There's Jordani de los Santos for the pirates. That'll be for Joshua. It's to 125. Yasir Mercedes twins. There's Jordani de los Santos autograph for the pirates, that's for Joshua. And we've got a Blaze Jordan, 49 out of 75 for Boston, that'll be for James. All right, we are halfway through this final case. We've got about another 30 minutes to go. It should bring us, yeah, a little bit past the top of the hour. And as promised, I will still do, yeah, I'll still do that one pack, that filler pack. It looks like we're gonna leave break credit on the table, that's all right, we'll save that for another time. All right, then A's were 22 into 17. We talked about them. Giants went from 11 down to 18, with Marco Luciano, Kyle Harrison as their two top 100 prospects. Though their systems dipped in a little bit. They got to saw some Perihan talents. See how they work out. Brewers went from 25 to 19. Thanks to Jackson Curio. Number 11, Sal Freelick. Number 49, Joey Weimer. Jackson Curio is one of the hits that we're looking for here in this Bowman Chrome. Manager Craig Council has actually name-checked Jackson Curio as possibly being a regular contributor this year, in spite of him only being like 19-year-old or something like that. Blue Jays improved by one spot from 21 to 20. Thanks to Gabriel Moreno, Ketcher, Ricky Tiedman in the lefty, and Aurellis Martinez, shortstop third baseman. And we might see Aurellis Martinez, or Moreno that is. I know Moreno's been blocked actually. He's a Ketcher. He's been blocked by, Blue Jays are really deep at Ketcher. They could probably afford to move one of those guys at the deadline. Royal's pre-season rank was eight, drop to 21. And I think that's because graduations. MJ Melendez, Bobby Wood Jr., et cetera, et cetera. There's Victor Liberada, 498 out of 499 for Seattle. That's for Chris. They still got Gavin Cross and Nick Prado in that system. Carson Williams, 47 out of 75. Joe with Tampa Bay. And there's Parker Chavers for Matthew Chara and the White Sox. White Sox. Matthew Chara with the Cubs, that is. This is Jason Curio. Drew Baker, Speckle to 299. Other Christian Vicarro. Other box down. Dennis is saying, NFTs will probably still have to deal with name and lightness. So we need to obtain permission before making anything if the rights are owned, such as Shaq. He owns the right to Elvis in Maryland. I think the way around that is often is by creating unique pieces of art. So if I created, if I took a bunch of images of Shaq and then created a cute little collage on a foam board and put little like I heart Shaq in felt lettering, maybe made some frames around those pictures of the puffy paint and sold that. I don't think I'd have to deal with name and lightness because that's an original piece of art that I created. But then again, if I think if I mass produced it as like a poster, is there a different legal ramifications there if it's not a one-off piece of original art that's considered art and it's more for commercial gains, then maybe you do have to run into, then maybe you do run as name and lightness stuff. Almost there. Stay on target. There's Yasser Mercedes. Yass. Joshua with the twins. That's one of the big names of the twins. That's who you're looking for you if you end up with the twins. Honor Franco rookie card. Yeti Cap to 150. Joe with Miami. I think it does depend. Yeah, if you're making money on it or not. I think it was just a one-off piece of art that I'm displaying as art. I think you can get away with it. If I'm mass producing it on like t-shirts, then that might be a different thing. Joe with the Yankees. Michael with the Tigers. There's Alexander Ovales, 79 out of 499. Refractor autograph for TBR. Joe with the rays. There's Matt Manning. Aqua to 199, 160 out of 199. A little bit of that lava pattern there that I think looks pretty sharp. All right, another box. Twins went from, did we talk tigers? Tigers went from 10 to 22. Jackson, Job and Jace Young. I think that's mostly because of graduations, Riley, Green and Spencer Torkels are not off the prospect list. Twins went from 19 to 23. Brooks Lee, Royce Lewis, Emmanuel Rodriguez, a little bit of a mixed bag farm system for the twins. There's Alex's Mariners. Went from two down to 24 with only Harry Ford, the only player making the top 100 at number 68. But the Mariners began the year with six players in the top 100. Three, most notably, top prospect, Julio Rodriguez graduated from prospect status. Two more top 100 guys sent to the red in the Luis Castillo deal. The depth of the system was aided by the addition of six members of the 2022 draft class, but winning and competing does have its cost in terms of maintaining a system that has been a mainstay in the top five. But I think the Mariners fans would rather be a top five team in baseball instead of having the top five farm system in baseball. I think they're okay with that. But Harry Ford's still out there. It could be a little Cal Raleigh, Harry Ford duo. Cal Raleigh could definitely DH. With that poppin' is bad. Philadelphia Phillies stayed about the same. Started at 26, ended at 25. Andrew Painter, Mick Abell. White Sox went from 30 to 26. Colson Montgomery is their lone top 100 guy. Brave started the season at 27, ended at 27. Von Grissom, but obviously they lost, Michael Harris and Strider had all advanced, graduated. And then we'll take a look at the last few teams. After this box, we got Jared Kalanick to 2.99. Bobby Whitjr, Junior Sanchez. Autograph for Joe and the Marlins. Yeah, it's like I'd rather take a top five team sick of having a top five farm system. I was like grabbing from Frosers. Pedro Pineda, there's Jordan Walker to 125 for the Cardinals, that's gonna be for Matthew. And there's Jordan Walker, Bowman Ascensions. Is that two in this case? We didn't get one in the last case, so maybe that's why we're getting two in this case. It's usually falls one per case. It's a short print. Marcello Meyer, Purple Shimmer to 250. There's Ian Lewis for the fish, Joe Simone. Roberto Campos, 58 out of 99. Michael P with Detroit Motor City. All right, just a few more to go, rounding out the bottom three farm systems, updated farm systems ranking for 2022. According to mlb.com, article written late August of 2022. So obviously things could change if there had been some recent trades or something like that. Padrex went from 17th ranked to 28th. Top 100 prospects are Jackson Merrill and Luis Camposano. The fact that the Soto trade didn't completely sink San Diego number 30 is a testament to where the farm system was before the blockbuster of the century. Astros pre-season ranked 29 are at 29, Hunter Brown at number 71, the writing. Yeah, I think they, I think the thing, the Astros ranked next to lacks for the fourth straight time but that hasn't stopped them from reaching five straight ALCSs on getting contribution from home growing talent. Yeah, I think a lot of those guys that prospects that did have keep getting called up and angels rank last 28 to start the season and did that 30 Logan Ohop catcher at number 67. You got a lot of work to do. Guys like Joe Adele had flashed some, had some flashes of maybe being somebody but it's Graham Ashcraft but it has a materialized to the frustration of a lot of people who have Joe Adele in their portfolio. Ashcraft goes to Ryan Harreld and the Reds. It was Randy Arrozorania to 250 for the Rays, Roderick Arias for the Yankees. There's Daniel McElvenny for the Red Sox. That'll be for James. There's Yerlan Confidant, 2.99, Speckle. There's Daniel Vasquez, Green Shimmer, 39 out of 99. Two boxes to go. We're almost there and we'll do a recap as well. So the top 100, just looking at the top 10. Now what's the Mets catching situation? Francisco Alvarez is ranked number one. I forget who's that catcher but they've got, they've got a pretty, spent a lot of money. They've got a pretty stacked team and they've got a number one prospect waiting in the wings and to MLB.com says ETA 2023. Gunnar Henderson for the Orioles, Corbin Carroll. I think he's already been playing a little bit for the Diamondbacks, Grayson Rodriguez, Anthony Volpe, Jordan Walker, Marcelo Meijer, Diego Cartaglia, Yuri Perez, and Jackson Curio rounds out the top 10. Neil Cruz. I'm gonna leave your keys right here. Awesome, thanks. See you next week, man. See you next week, man. You too. Braves, there's Brandol Mesquita, 72 out of 75. It'll be for the Braves, Joshua. Francisco Alvarez, 94 out of 125. Just talking about him. Now he appears. That's for Joshua and the Metz, Jose Rodriguez, Joshua and the Rangers. Josfar Garcia for the Phillies, that'll be for Joe. That's to 125. Pete Crow Armstrong, 14 out of 199. And Jason Curio, Jackson's brother. He was also pretty good in his own right. And the final box, the 24th box. We're at one hour, 37 minutes. We made it. Final box, good luck. We got Orange Shimmer Parker Shavers, 18 out of 25. Matthew Chirot, nice. Love the way that orange looks, really pops. There's Urivial Angelis to 499. Refractor for the A's, that'll be for Matthew Chirot. Chirot, Chirot, whatever will be, will be. All right, last mini box, last auto. Last bit of parallels, last auto is Jackson Curio. We were just talking about him. 23 out of 99, great way to end it. Joshua Idlitz, working hard on filling this double header, gets randomized, the brew crew, and gets this guy, Jackson Curio. Right now, I'm looking at him right now. Number 10 prospect in double A, 18 years old, estimated to come up to the big leagues in 2024, but Craig Council was talking like, maybe this year. If you know your scouting grades, hit 55, power 60, run 70, arm 45, field 60, overall 60. He's pretty good. He's ranked a spot ahead of Andrew Jones' kid, Drew Jones. So if you know the hype around Drew Jones, he's one notch higher on the rankings, at least for now. So that's where he sits. There's Carson Williams, purple chrome 250. I'm sorry, Miss Jackson, ooh, I am for real. And that, my friend, does it. Nice break. Here is the recap for this double header, random team three, Chambers to 25, the Jordan Walker Bowman Ascensions, Yass, Wander Franco to 199, the William Bergola, the Nelson Velasquez, Oscar Colas, Bowman Inception, Ascensions, Wander Franco Green, Caleb Killian, Arizona Fall League to 25, that gold speckle looks sharp. And at Jackson Curio, we just pulled, and the Red Luis Angel Acunha, five out of five. Strong stuff, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for the fill. I appreciate everybody who got spots in this, whether you hit or not, I still appreciate you. Thank you very much. I'm Joe for jasmizcasebreaks.com. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.
