10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: Not a lot of big.

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: News to come out of the GM meetings this week.

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: Dave Dombrowski talked a couple times, talked a lot about

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: the Phillies outfield situation. So we're gonna spend today's show

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: talking about the Phillies outfield. But first, guys, I want

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: to talk about a very tantalizing peace piece of information

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: that came out of the GM meetings.

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: This is the Rehuler.

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: It involves somebody that we've talked a lot about, Byron Buxton.

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: You guys know what I'm referring to Byron Buxton.

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 5: I do because I alerted you very early in the morning.

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 5: I read it about five in the morning. A couple

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 5: of days ago. Our buddy, our old buddy, Dan Hayes

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 5: of The Athletic covers the Twins does a really good job.

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 5: He wrote that Byron Buxton might be willing to waive

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 5: his no trade clause if the Twins continue down this

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 5: rebuilding path with no path rudderless, no immediate path to victory.

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 5: He's going to be thirty two years old. He was

28
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 5: adamant about not waving it last summer. And if you

29
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 5: wave it, I think he would be a very good

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 5: fit for the Phillies checking too. Humongo boxes center field

31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 5: where dynamic and powerful right handed bat in the middle

32
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 5: of the order, where he also would be dynamic.

33
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: So a name to keep benign. Gurubin.

34
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Jim was on top of this early. He started the rumor.

35
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: Jim was a r starter, not a rumor.

36
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 6: It was just like, hey, what do you think you

37
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 6: know he's acquiring him already?

38
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: No, I don't, I don't. I just wonder they.

39
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: Need listen very astute. You talked about it weeks ago,

40
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: and uh.

41
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 7: I think it's I think it's very compelling.

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 6: I know he's a little older I know that he

43
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 6: is injury prone.

44
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: I know.

45
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 7: That there's some there are some wartz there.

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: But it's a nice, nice get for this lineup. It'd

47
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: be lovely. Oh man, my not so humble opinion.

48
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 5: The health history is concerned. You'd have to get lucky there.

49
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 5: But he played a lot of games last year, had

50
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 5: a little bit of a tweak late.

51
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: But I don't know.

52
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 5: I think I think it's something would be I'd be

53
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 5: certainly willing to consider, because I don't think you can

54
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 5: just sign free agents to fill all your needs.

55
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: I mean you're going to try to.

56
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 5: You got two big needs for a power bat and

57
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 5: a catcher, and you know Schwarber and real Muro. They

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 5: hope for those two guys to return. So it'll be

59
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: nice to pull off a trade and fill a hole

60
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: in center field, and that would allow you to play

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: justin Crawford and left field, where many many folks think.

62
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 5: I think he's much more well suited.

63
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 6: So let me ask this question, would you trade Bryson,

64
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 6: Stott and.

65
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: Crawford for him?

66
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 5: They have a young second baseman is that they like.

67
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if they would, but I mean there

68
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: are other positions on the diamonds.

69
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Right that Stock can play short or stock.

70
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 5: Can move around. I'd certainly consider it if they'd be

71
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 5: open to it. I just like I said, I know

72
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 5: they have a young second basement, but for the right.

73
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 6: The only reason why I say Scott is because he's

74
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 6: under control. He's cheap, you know what, He's got three

75
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 6: more years of control. I think at least two more

76
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 6: years of control. Two And I don't think a guy

77
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 6: like Boem would be a super appealing because it's a

78
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 6: one year deal.

79
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I mean I would absolutely consider

80
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: that just because he does check so many boxes. He's

81
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: super talent when he's on the field, super talent. Now,

82
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: part of that story was Buxton would consider waving as

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: no trade clause if the Twins continue to sell, meaning

84
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: Joe Ryan Pablo Lopez their top two starters, and the

85
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: Twins have since uh indicated that they want to try

86
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: to win next season, so maybe they don't trade those guys,

87
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: and it becomes.

88
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: How are they gonna win with that?

89
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 3: How are they gonna that would be?

90
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 4: That would be my argument. I mean, how ridiculous you.

91
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: Keep those two guys. They're gonna do enough?

92
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: They're not, are they gonna spend money to fill the

93
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: rest of their their needs, you know, I don't think so.

94
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 5: And Buxton with three more years left at fifteen per

95
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 5: that's a pretty good contract.

96
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: That is a pretty good contract.

97
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: That would be a lot of fun.

98
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 6: Is so you can still bring Schwarber back and JT back.

99
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you probably do some other things.

100
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got to do all the things we gotta.

101
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: They gotta address that bullpen a little bit too, absolutely,

102
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 4: you know.

103
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: I I Mike Petriola at MLB dot comrade a story

104
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: that summer which I thought was kind of cool talking

105
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: about Buxton and Trey Turner, how like top five runners

106
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: in all of baseball, fastest runners in all of baseball,

107
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: and how they've they've they entered the game that way,

108
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: and now how they're both in their early thirties and

109
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: they've maintained that elite level speed.

110
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: In their early thirties.

111
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: And usually you see guys like, you know, Mookie bats

112
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: was elite level, now he's more middle.

113
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: Of the pack.

114
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper was a pretty good runner back in the day.

115
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: Now he's middle of the pack. Everybody, Right, you get older,

116
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: you get slower. And the whole story is about how

117
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: those two guys are like literally, I think since stat

118
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: Cast started measuring sprint speed, the only two guys that

119
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: have maintained their elite level speed in the early thirties.

120
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: So I just wanted to mention that because that would

121
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: be kind of fun too, having two of those guys

122
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 2: running speed.

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 6: He's not stealing as many bags, but he can still

124
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 6: steal him.

125
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 7: And he can run him down out there in the outfield.

126
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: Baby, absolutely, So yeah, that would be just wanted to Jim.

127
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: Jim sent that to us, and uh, the other day

128
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: when I hear this discussion, m h, so we're good.

129
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Were you gona say something? Jim, No, I'm good, Okay, okay.

130
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: So right after these words, we're gonna talk about some

131
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: of the other options if the if the Twins hold

132
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: on to Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez and Byron Bucks

133
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: and says you know what I want to stick in Minnesota,

134

Speaker 2: I think we actually might have sold out of hoodies,

161
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: but they get them back and stock quick and got

162
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: the caps, got the knit caps, fitted caps trucker caps.

163
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: So check that stuff out.

164
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so say Byron Bucks and isn't in the cars

165
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: fora hilies. That probably wouldn't happen, but it's fun to dream.

166
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: Local are the internal options are one internal option? As

167
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: Justin Crawford and Dave Debrowski talked a lot about him

168
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: to the reporters out in Las Vegas this week and

169
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: didn't say he's got a job, but strongly suggested he's

170
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: going to get an excellent chance to make this team.

171
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: I personally think he's going to make the opening day roster. Finally, Yeah, right,

172
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: I mean following what left field?

173
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: Left field?

174
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: Okay, Dave did say he thinks he can play center field.

175
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: Why would he say I don't think he could play centerfield.

176
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 5: Why would you close the door on this early in

177
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 5: a young man's career. You keep all the options open

178
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 5: and you let things happen. You take a look at him.

179
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 5: But I think left field would be a good spot

180
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 5: for him to break in.

181
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 6: Totally agree. I know his dad did the same thing.

182
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 6: More of a left fielder than anything else. Could he

183
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 6: play center field?

184
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: Yes?

185
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 6: Would they want to burden him with the center field

186
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 6: job and just let him sort of relax and hang

187
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 6: him left play a comfortable position.

188
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 7: He's probably a little bit better suited.

189
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 6: To play, the fact that he can play both and

190
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 6: he's still learning.

191
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, there aren't very many.

192
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 6: Major league baseball players who get to the big leagues

193
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 6: in this day and age who are finished products. It

194
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 6: just doesn't happen. Guys come through the minor leagues extremely quickly.

195
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 6: They don't play, get a lot of reps and any

196
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 6: position or many at bats.

197
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 7: It's an indictment on the game, but this is.

198
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 6: How it works, and so you're going to be developing

199
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 6: this young man in the big leagues offensively, defensively, across

200
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 6: the board.

201
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: I recommend everybody if you haven't checked out the episode

202
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: we did last week with Baseball Americus Josh Norris. Josh

203
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: gave some very.

204
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 9: Candid assessments of Justin Crawford, and if you're on if

205
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 9: you're watching us on YouTube, that episode is not available

206
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 9: on YouTube, but it will be early next week, so

207
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 9: keep an eye out for that.

208
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: We're going to run that episode.

209
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, if you want to watch on

210
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: an Apple Spotify, great episode.

211
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 5: Talking about all it was a little alarming hearing some

212
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 5: of his comments about Crawford's defense. But that said, that's

213
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: a spring trainings for I'm sure they're going to look

214
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: at him in center field, look at him in left field.

215
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: And there's that early trip to the East Coast, two

216
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 5: games on the East Coast, which I'm sure those veterans

217
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 5: are going to figure out a way to not make

218
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 5: the trip. But I could see Justin Crawford playing playing

219
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 5: about uh playing about fourteen innings in those two days

220
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 5: in center field, and I have to I.

221
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 6: Gotta give some love to Paco Figueroa because one, he's

222
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 6: a tremendous human, but also he's an excellent, excellent worker,

223
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 6: hard working outfield coach. I think he did a really

224
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 6: bang up job with Castillanos, made him a usable right fielder.

225
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy actually instead of as he's.

226
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 6: Gotten a little older, he's gotten even a little bit better.

227
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 6: Not a great defender, we know that he just doesn't

228
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 6: have the foot speed to be a great defender, but

229
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 6: as far as his routes and just having him stay

230
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 6: concentrating and working on things from a day to day,

231
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 6: it's done.

232
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: A really really good job with him.

233
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 6: So I fully expect Paco to uh impart his knowledge

234
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 6: and his work on mister Crawford.

235
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and then the other option, or one of many

236
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: other options, I guess you could say, is Harrison Bader,

237
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: who sent out a Instagram post this week than everyone panicked.

238
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hilarious. That's what social media does.

239
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: Suck sometimes it does, it does.

240
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: Don't get it.

241
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: They read things that are just not there.

242
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 5: He was, Yeah, he was same, thank you for the

243
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: support on social media. But no doors have been closed,

244
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 5: and that may have been a negotiating ploy to get

245
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: the fans up in arms a little bit and make

246
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: people notice a little bit. So he's he's still in play.

247
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 5: But to me, he's a distant third on the old

248
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: priority list.

249
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: Right compared to the other two guys you're talking about

250
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: Schwarburn and JT. And you know Harrison Bader, you know,

251
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: you got to figure out, you got to understand or

252
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: I guess, get a sense of what you think he

253
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: can be a Are you a big believer in the

254
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 2: season that he had this year with Minnesota and Philadelphia.

255
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: We've talked about this several times.

256
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 2: With the Phillies, he batted three oh five eight twenty

257
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: four ops with the Twins before the trade. He batted

258
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: two fifty eight seven seventy eight ops. The previous three seasons,

259
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: Harrison Bader batted two thirty nine with a six forty

260
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: four ops. So, and I think I saw the quote.

261
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: I think Matt Gelb tweeted it from Dave Dombrowski talking

262
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: about Harrison Bader basically saying, yeah, you know, he declined

263
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: the mutual option, and basically they said, yeah, you know,

264
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: you want to you know, he kind of had the

265
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: best year he's had in years.

266
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 3: He wants to see what he can get out there.

267
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 3: What do you you know, totally understand.

268
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: So the Phillies have to figure out, you know, how

269
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: far they want to.

270
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: Go to get Harrison Vader.

271
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 6: I just want to say this, in parts of nine years,

272
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 6: parts of nine years in the major leagues. Now, he's

273
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 6: no young pupp He has a two forty seven average

274
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 6: with a three three thirteen on base percentage. His on

275
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 6: base percentage with the Phillies was by far the best

276
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 6: he's ever had in his career in that short stint.

277
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: So what we saw.

278
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 6: Out of him as a Philadelphia you know, fan base.

279
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 7: Is the best baseball he's ever played.

280
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 6: Doesn't mean he can't play really great baseball in Philadelphia,

281
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 6: but the baseball cards don't lie, and they don't lie

282
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 6: for a reason. I think the guy can be you know,

283
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 6: he's a lifetime seven to fourteen OPS. Can it be

284
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 6: closer to seven point fifty maybe, But he had an

285
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 6: eight to twenty four or OPS with the Phillies and

286
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 6: a seven seventy eight OPS with UH with Minnesota close

287
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 6: to an eight hundred for the year.

288
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: That's just not who he has been. Is he better?

289
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: Maybe?

290
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: Will he be better?

291
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. Maybe he's maturing, maybe he's learning at.

292
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: This particular age.

293
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 6: But you can't necessarily count on an eight hundred OPS player, right.

294
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: And that's where you got That's where the Phillies have

295
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: to figure out.

296
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: That's where the rubber meets the road, my friend, no doubt,

297
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: no doubt. So then a couple other things about the

298
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: offense I wanted to mention UH. Dave Dobrowski was asked

299
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: about Nick Castianos his future with the Phillies and he

300
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: used the words change of scenery when he talked with

301
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: reporters out there about it sounds like a trade is well,

302
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: they want to move on, they want to move on.

303
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 4: We know this well well documentared.

304
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Yes, Nick wants to move on to Philly.

305
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 3: Want to move on.

306
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: The only question is how is it going to happen.

307
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: If it's going to happen, is it going to be

308
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: a trade? How much money did they have to eat?

309
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 4: What are you saying, Todd try to release?

310
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a trade. In just

311
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: talking to people this week, it sounds to me that

312
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: the Phillies think they might be able to trade him.

313
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: That you know, there's not a lot of right handed

314
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: bats out there in the outfield, and you know, and

315
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: I know people are can say, yeah, but he was

316
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: so bad last year. He had the lowest war in

317
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: baseball of any qualified player, and so you go like, yeah,

318
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: but you know, but he's still a right handed bat.

319
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: And I was thinking about this the other day, Like

320
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: Max Kepler last year signed a one year, ten million

321
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: dollar contract with the Phillies coming off of like three

322
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: bad years in a row, four bad years in a row.

323
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: Now he's a left handed bat.

324
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: I get it.

325
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: But if the Phillies paid down enough money, say they

326
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: go twelve million, I don't know. I'm just number out there.

327
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what the number might be. But Is

328
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: there a team out there that would take Nick castianis

329
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: basically a one year eight million dollar deal or a

330
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: one year seven million dollar deal or one year nine

331
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: million What do you guys think?

332
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: Am I crazy? Why wouldn't you? Why?

333
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 7: Why didn't you?

334
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 6: With the dearth of right handed pop there's very very

335
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 6: few right handed bats out there, and who knows the

336
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 6: change of scenery lights him up. I mean, I tweeted

337
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 6: it out there that Miami might be like the right

338
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 6: fit for him. That's a place he wanted to go,

339
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 6: where he lives, where he grew up. His whole family's there.

340
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 6: He's got his whole commune there. I think he'd be comfortable.

341
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 4: They probably play well there.

342
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: And he's also right, he's going to be a free

343
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: agent after this season, so I'm sure he wanted to

344
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: have a contract, so he's going to be super motivated.

345
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: Okay, at at five million bucks. He's a streaky guy.

346
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 5: At five million bucks, I'd roll the dice that he

347
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 5: has a few good streaks in him in twenty twenty six,

348
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 5: And if he doesn't, then it's you know, you could

349
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 5: always release them at at the All Star break or whatever.

350
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: But because it's.

351
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 5: Not you're not in it for a lot of money.

352
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 5: But I agree with you. I think there'll be a

353
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 5: trade somewhere. But the Phillies are gonna have to really

354
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 5: chomp on a big piece of that song. Yeah, they've

355
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 5: got to eat a lot, right, What really, Jim, what

356
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 5: would you do here?

357
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: Say now, say hypothetically that they just.

358
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: Can't get anybody to trade for them, would you just

359
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 2: release them? Or would you say, you know, we're just

360
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: going to bring them back into camp and just deal

361
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: without it.

362
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 6: You put on waivers first, uh, and see if someone

363
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 6: bites on them at nothing.

364
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: No one's good.

365
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 6: I don't know anybody's gonna take that contract. And then

366
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 6: you know, then then the next plan is to decide

367
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 6: whether he's going to be auditioned by subtraction for this organization,

368
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 6: and you know, you have to figure that piece of

369
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 6: it out, or do you.

370
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: Just hang onto him.

371
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 6: Through spring training hope that somebody gets hurt in another

372
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 6: organization and it becomes a little bit more desperate, or

373
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 6: they assess their team and they go, we really need

374
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 6: a right handed bat or a d H or someone

375
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 6: like that that can help, or a veteran bat to

376
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 6: help our team. Maybe it's a Pittsburgh. Maybe it's a Miami.

377
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 6: Maybe it's a like that that that is sort of

378
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 6: now being probably forced by MLB to spend some money

379
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 6: so that they don't, you know, start talking.

380
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: About that C word.

381
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 6: You know, some of these teams, they've got to show

382
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 6: their fans that they spend some of the money that

383
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 6: they're getting from revenue sharing, and it's you know, some

384
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 6: of these teams are making a boatload of money from

385
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 6: the haves and the have nots are going to have

386
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 6: to spend some money to try to compete.

387
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 4: I do not see him being in clear water.

388
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: I do not know what the resolution this here, but

389
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 5: I don't see him being in clear Water the whole.

390
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the worst case in there.

391
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 5: Right, it's just become too public of a narrative. It

392
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 5: needs to there needs to be a resolution, and to me,

393
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: it's it's a handshake and you know, good luck.

394
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: Right.

395
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: I agree with you guys. I don't think he'll be back.

396
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 2: I think there'll be a trade, so okay. Then one

397
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: other thing about the outfield I wanted to mention because

398
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: we've wondered about it, is that would Bryce Harper moved

399
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: back to the outfield and Dave Dobrowski again kind of

400
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 2: threw some cold water on that, says, listen, you know

401
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: he's been open to it, he's expressed that to us.

402
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: But we view Bryce Harper as our first base, and

403
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: he plays a good first base. I don't see moving

404
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: back into the outfield. Of course, that was framed along

405
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: the lines of what he said a couple times last year,

406
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 2: including rape for the trade deadline this year, which was, hey,

407
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: if Dave goes out and gets a big bat, I

408
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: move out the outfield.

409
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 7: Peter Piper, the Polar Bear, I mean, I mean Boris was.

410
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: Just can we talk about Boris.

411
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: For just a s?

412
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 6: I mean, his his word smithing was I mean, egregiously

413
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 6: embarrassingly funny.

414
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 4: It's fantastic. He thinks he's William Shakespeare.

415
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: How about what it's hilarious.

416
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: I talked when I talked to him last month, when

417
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: I was talking to him last month about Harper, and

418
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 2: he said, you put tank in the Harper harpery.

419
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: Meaning the Ferrari.

420
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: You know it will run so you know, uh keeps

421
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 3: it entertaining. Tell you what.

422
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: Those uh, he's got some good ones.

423
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 6: Belly, he's got belly, he's got uh Fragman.

424
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 7: He's got uh, he's got school.

425
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: He's not a free agent, but he's.

426
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: Got Rainey, got ranger, the zone ranger.

427
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 6: He's got Peter, you know, he's got the big, gigantic

428
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 6: polar Bear.

429
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna do well this offseason.

430
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 4: He'll be fine, Yes you will, Yes, he will.

431
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: So so it does not look like that Bryce will

432
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: be moving to the outfield, although you never know, You

433
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 2: never know what could happen if.

434
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 6: The other good thing that I think has happened is

435
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 6: that Dave Dombrowski has had a conversation with Bryce.

436
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: I should have mentioned that as well, which is.

437
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 6: Also something that I think has been smooth, though much

438
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 6: ado about nothing, and I think they'll be fine and

439
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 6: move forward and get ready for the twenty twenty sixth season.

440
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,959
Speaker 1: Also absolutely okay.

441
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 2: So then wrapping up this week was the BBWAA Awards.

442
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: I wanted to run through those real quick. Rob Thompson

443
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: finished third on Tuesday for Manager of the Year, highest

444
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: he's finished He's finished fifth twice, twenty two and twenty four.

445
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez finished a strong second, a unanimous second, and man,

446
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: oh man, I still go back to spring training when

447
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: we made our bold predictions and Jim Salisbury said it

448
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 2: you finished.

449
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: He did it. You nailed it.

450
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 7: You are brilliant.

451
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 4: Top three.

452
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: I should have hired you, James. I screwed up.

453
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 4: He screwed up.

454
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: But uh, another reason why I got.

455
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: Fired because I didn't are you I I'll tell you why.

456
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 5: I that was my bold prediction that he finished in

457
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 5: the top three is because when I saw him in

458
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 5: Claire Water, he looked like a physical specimen. He's coming

459
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 5: off really good kind of year and a half and

460
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 5: like I said, looked like a physical specimen work ethic,

461
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 5: and he carried himself with confidence and presence, and his

462
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 5: popen sessions were just like you know, wow, and you

463
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: just could you could see a guy ready to blossom

464
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 5: and just be a stalwart.

465
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 4: And he has been and.

466
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 5: He will continue to be because there's an intangible there.

467
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: He wants to be good.

468
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: He really does.

469
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: Mentally too, just like the way he carries himself. I've

470
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: noticed in the clubhouse he just he feels good about himself.

471
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: He's still confident in himself. He carries himself just in

472
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: an in an elite, top of the rotation type of way.

473
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: I guess, so he's that's fantastic and then Kyle Schwarber

474
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: on Thursday night finished second for n L m VP show.

475
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: Tani wins unanimously again, so pretty.

476
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 5: Showing, pretty good showing for the Phillies, great Manager of

477
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 5: the Year second two seconds, the second and saw Young

478
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 5: second in the m v P hold on.

479
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: Right, yep, and the fifth.

480
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 6: Did one of us make a prediction about Trey Turner

481
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 6: be in the top five?

482
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: We started talking about it with the season.

483
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 6: I remember, I don't know if some one of us

484
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 6: made a prediction about being a top five.

485
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 4: And so he was a batting champ.

486
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 5: They had a home run champ and an RBI champ,

487
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 5: had a lot of individual pretty good accolades.

488
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 6: Aren't too And that's why they were one of the

489
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 6: best teams in baseball. They had one of the best teams.

490
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 6: They had a lot of They have a lot of

491
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 6: talented players.

492
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, figure out ways to get over the hump.

493
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they gotta get over the hump. And they got

494
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: to figure out you know, like we said, spent most

495
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: of today talking about the they got to figure out

496
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: what they're going to do in the outfield. You guys

497
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: don't have any predictions, you have any gut feeling on

498
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: where they're going to end up.

499
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 6: I think they're going to get a center fielder from

500
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 6: outside the organization.

501
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: Who's the right handed bat.

502
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: I believe that they're going to have the two lefties

503
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 6: on the corners Martian right and uh and Crawford and left.

504
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: That's my prediction, right.

505
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 6: But I think that there's gonna be a little bit

506
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 6: of a razzle dazzle in the infield.

507
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: Not sure where so.

508
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: Josh Norris when we had him on last week, he

509
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: was kind of down on his Justin Crawford's offensive capabilities,

510
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: talking about he hits the ball on the ground a lot.

511
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: And I think he said, like the ground ball rate

512
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: lowest compared to any big lars since like Kevin Kiermeyer

513
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: had a great career. But I don't know, do you

514
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: think are you guys concerned about his offense like that?

515
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: I feel like he hit him ninth. I feel like

516
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: he's gonna be He's not. He's not Billy Hamilton. I

517
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: was looking at Billy Hamilton's minor league numbers. They were

518
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 2: not that good. No, he stole one hundred and twenty

519
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 2: five base not hit he hit like right. He hit

520
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: two fifty in the minor leagues with like a seven

521
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: hundred ops, whereas justin Crawford's entire he said a three hundred,

522
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: eight hundred oh ps.

523
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 6: He puts the bat on the ball. Anytime he put

524
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 6: the bat on the all again. I mean, that's what

525
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 6: what is.

526
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: Old will be new again. You need people can put

527
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: the bat on the ball.

528
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 7: It's gonna give him a chance to get on base.

529
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 7: He's he can you know, he can pressure some infield.

530
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 4: I know.

531
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 6: He's got to get a little bit physically stronger, I think,

532
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 6: but he hasn't gotten his total man strength yet as

533
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 6: an adult, and that's still coming.

534
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

535
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,560
