00:02 - All right, let's head out now to St. Louis.
00:04 Now this is an interesting conversation
00:06 because if you're looking for strictly just outfield help,
00:08 I think there's other ways to go,
00:10 but a lot of times people draft independent of position,
00:13 throw someone down in the utility spot.
00:15 Lars Neutbar, your thoughts.
00:17 - Yeah, I think this is an intriguing player where,
00:21 you know, if you look at what's starting to pick up recently
00:25 I know on the year, the numbers are not good.
00:27 Like I get it.
00:28 You look at him, he's hitting under 200 for the year.
00:30 Well, he does have three homers and two steals.
00:32 So this is a player that does have power and speed, right?
00:35 So what are we looking for?
00:36 We're looking for a bit of a turnaround.
00:37 Here's a fun fact.
00:38 Over the last seven days, 318 batting average, 400 OBPs,
00:43 636 lugging, 1036 OPS.
00:47 That rings like a player who is, again,
00:49 after an injured opening to the season,
00:51 which I think we can equate to some of the poor play
00:54 that we saw from Lars Neutbar.
00:56 (laughing)
00:58 Lars Neutbar, I think,
00:59 wasn't he the basest for Scorpions in the 80s?
01:02 I'm pretty sure.
01:04 But Lars Neutbar, a player that is starting to get hot
01:07 and even the people who have him rostered
01:09 might not realize it.
01:11 So when you're making a trade
01:13 and you get a throw in piece back,
01:14 you need an extra outfielder,
01:15 Lars Neutbar might be that guy
01:17 that could be a really good return.
01:18 He's got power, he's got speed.
01:20 He can hit for a bit of average.
01:21 I do think he's gonna continue to play
01:22 in this Cardinals lineup every day.
01:24 And I think Neutbar is a player
01:25 where there's more upside to come
01:27 and you can justify the slow start
01:29 based on he didn't have that normal entry into the season
01:33 because of the injury.
01:34 So now you're getting a guy who's finally,
01:36 I think, getting ramped up again.
01:38 And if the last week is any indication,
01:39 things are going in the right direction.
01:40 And eventually this Cardinals offense will be better
01:43 'cause frankly, it can't get worse.
