Takes

CJ Abrams is the best Saber Metric pick in the Dingers Only draft because he leads off

Ideally you want your players to get as many opportunities to hit home runs as possible. Why not take a guy that hits lead off shortstop. CJ Abrams. He's gonna get like four more at bats than some of your guys' clowns.

Aaron Judge is not a true Yankee because he hasn't won a World Series

I would go even further and say he's [Aaron Judge] not a true Yankee. Which is funny because he's had some of the best seasons of all time by any offensive player. Still not a true Yankee... You can't be a true Yankee in the regular season. The Yankees season starts in October.

Gunnar Henderson was a massive steal in the second round of the Dingers Only draft

I'll take Gunnar Henderson. Fuck. I didn't—I don't know how he lasted that long... I was hoping that PFT was gonna take judge and I was gonna take Gunner, but I had to—he left me Judge and I had to take him. I wanted Gunner. Gunner slipped to the second round.

The Phillies will beat the Orioles in the World Series

Phillies over Orioles. Okay. So Max has the Orioles.

The Yankees will beat the Braves in the World Series

Yankees over Braves. Okay.

The Diamondbacks will beat the Rangers 8-1 in Game 4 of the World Series with Tommy Pham hitting two home runs.

I think it's gonna be eight-one Diamondbacks. Whoa. I think [Tommy] Pham goes yard twice. Whoa. [Evan] Longoria has two hits.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is a 'vibes guy' you want in your clubhouse despite the PED suspension

Tatis is a vibes guy. I mean, that's a guy you want. That's a guy. I wanted my clubhouse... Tatis is a vibes guy. I mean, that's a guy you want. That's a guy. I wanted my clubhouse. [PFT: He's always suspended] Nah, he's a great guy.

Trey Mancini is the Comeback Player of the Year

Comeback player of the year. We're going to [Trey Mancini]. I think that's well-deserved came back from cancer. I mean, who can top that? ... Trey Mancini has won the first Taiki of 2022.

The Phillies will win the 2022 World Series over the Yankees

I like the Phillies a lot. They have the reigning MVP... I think it's going to be the Phillies against the Padres in the [NLCS] and then the winner of that... I'm going to say as the real world series champion... but no, out of the AL teams, I really think this is the year the Yankees get it done. I think it's going to be the [Phillies vs.] Yankees.

The 2022 World Series will be the Yankees against the Braves

Yankees, Braves.

The 2022 World Series will be the White Sox against the Phillies

White Sox, Phillies.

The Red Sox will beat the Yankees 6-4 in the 2021 American League Wild Card game

I think it's going to be Red Sox 6, Yankees 4. Take the over. Red Sox money line.

Garrett Cole will be chased from the Wild Card game after only two innings

Garrett Cole getting chased after two innings would be great. Schwarber going yard off Cole, hitting the ball 500 feet.

The Yankees will beat the Red Sox 7-5 in the 2021 American League Wild Card game

I'm going to go Yankees 7, Red Sox 5. Look for an unlikely hero in the name of Andrew Velazquez or Greg Allen for the Yankees.

The Yankees will beat the Red Sox 6-3 in the 2021 American League Wild Card game

I'm going to go 6-3 Yankees. I think [Giancarlo] Stanton and [Aaron] Judge are going to be popping off.

The city of Philadelphia will turn on Bryce Harper within five years

I have a prediction. I think that the city of Philadelphia is going to turn on Bryce Harper within five years. Give it four, actually. I think that given Bryce's history... He's such a streaky player. He's got a little bit of an attitude sometimes. But when you're making this kind of money, there's a big, big target on your back.

Colin Kaepernick will eventually get Baseball Hall of Fame votes as a contributor to the game

Colin Kaepernick hasn't been offered a job in baseball... As a contributor to the game, I think he would get Hall of Fame [votes].

The Nationals will win the 2017 World Series

I've got the Nats and the Dodgers [in the NLCS]... and then I'm going with the Red Sox [in the AL]... Red Sox-Nats [World Series]. World Series champion? Nats.

The Cubs will win back-to-back World Series titles

I'm going with the Astros over the Red Sox in the AL and the Cubs over the Mets in the NL... Cubs over the Astros for the World Series.

Miguel Cabrera will win the AL MVP

I think Miguel Cabrera is going to be the AL MVP because he's in that nice spot. He's like 33, maybe getting up there in years, little steroids, getting a little second life.

Home Run Derby participants always screw up their swings in the second half of the season

My other favorite part about the Home Run Derby is predicting which one of the participants the Home Run Derby is going to screw up their swing in the second half. Whoever wins.

I'm betting heavy on Wil Myers to win the Home Run Derby because he spells his name with one 'L'

I'm going heavy on Wil Myers. He is listed at plus 600. The guy is all about winning. And it's so efficient. You know how much time he saves in his life by spelling his name W-I-L instead of W-I-L-L?

Giancarlo Stanton will win the 2016 Home Run Derby

I have the artist formerly known as Mike Stanton... ooh, plus 365, the favorite.

Hammer the Reds as underdogs this year and you will become a millionaire

Hammer the Reds this year. Hammer the Reds. They will be underdogs many, many times. You throw it on the Reds. You take that $10, put it right there. Probably make yourself $20, $17. Then you keep doing it. And hopefully the Reds never lose and you become a millionaire.
