00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: and this is a Monday episode, which, as we tend

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: to do, it's a prospect spotlight, touching on players from

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: each full season level of the Marlins minor league system

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: in fifteen minutes or less, talking to you on the

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: opening day of the Florida Complex League season for the

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: Marlins as well the rookie level team Stateside. So we'll

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: find a way to work them into future prospect spotlights

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: as well. For this one, just sticking with the full

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: season levels Low A Jupiter, Hi Beloyd, Double A Pensacola,

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: and Triple A Jacksonville. And the last guy that we're

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna touch on really pushes the definition of a prospect,

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: but we'll get to him at the end. We work

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: our way up beginning at the low a level. It's

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: not always about spotlighting guys that are playing well. It's

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: about guys that are peaking my interest and I think

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: are gonna peak your interest as well. So Carter Johnson

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: is one of them because he was my favorite pick

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty four Marlins Drift class, their second

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: round pick, a high school shortstop out of Alabama. They

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: challenged him early on. He played a lot of games

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: last year in Jupiter as an eighteen year old, and

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: he struggled, but I kind of brushed it aside. A

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: lot of other guys, particularly at that level, which is

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: known to be a very low scoring environment, have struggles

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: offensively their first year. With him, We're now we're at

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: the point of the season where I'm kind of concerned.

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: He is currently our twelfth ranked prospect on fish on

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: First Our prospect rankings will soon be updated, and he's

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: gonna fall a little bit at the next update here.

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five. Through twenty five games, he is

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: slashing one eighty six batting average, two point fifty seven

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: on base percentage, just a two forty five slugging percentage.

40
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: That's a fifty three WRC plus even more adjusting for

41
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: the run scoring environment and he's striking out more than

42
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of the time. I was just looking

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: for some sort of improvement from year to year at Jupiter,

44
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: and there has not been any at all. It has

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: actually gone in the wrong direction from that aspect, playing

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: quite a bit of shortstop but not flashing a lot there.

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: Particularly with some of the teammates that he has at

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: that level, It's difficult to for see him sticking at

49
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: shortstop as he moves up the ranks in the system,

50
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: even if his bat does come around. So yeah, I

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on him, particularly right now because of

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: the start of the FCL Marlin season. He seems like

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: a candidate for a reset to get you could call

54
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: it a demotion at the most gentle way to put

55
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: it is that he could use some time to get

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: back to who he really is facing some let's experience

57
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: competition himself in some more favorable accounts and show that

58
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: he can do some damage because at this point his

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: career is just very little power showing up in his

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: game to go along with just a generally difficult approach

61
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: at the plate, a lot more swing and miss than

62
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: we anticipated. So I do wonder if not imminently, but

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: at some point during this upcoming month, if he could

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: benefit from going down to the FCL and then earning

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: his way back up, moving up a level to I

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: A Bloit Fenwick Trimble, another pick from that twenty twenty

67
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: four Marlin's draft, if I could check really quickly, the

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, so not right after Carter Johnson who

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: was in between them, It was Aiden May Gage Miller

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: in between Fenwick Tremble just about a half million dollar

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: bonus out of James Madison University. He's one of the

72
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: few guys from that draft class who have already made

73
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: it up to the high A level. He's quietly performing

74
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: extremely well there at the start of the season, moving

75
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: his way near the top of the Beloit skycarp lineup.

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: He is slashing two forty seven four h two four

77
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: oh three three with more walks than strikeadds. That's always

78
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: a great sign. A one thirty seven w RC plus

79
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: and fourteen for fifteen on stolen base attempts. This is

80
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: a team that they're They're right up there with any

81
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: in minor league baseball in terms of stolen bases per game,

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: in terms of efficiency, and he's the guy leading the pack.

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: He's the one with the most steals in Beloite to

84
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: this point in the season, and he's playing all three

85
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: outfield positions as well, including centerfield. He's shifting around between

86
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: the three to this point in the season. So it's

87
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: been a really effective start to his pro career. Like

88
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: last year, he was in Jupiter for a little bit

89
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: and the numbers didn't really jump off, and so far

90
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: in Beloit, even moving up a level, his production really

91
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: has spiked offensively. He's listed at six three, two hundred pounds,

92
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: and watching him play, he seems smaller than that, so

93
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: the athleticism doesn't really wow you. I'd say he's an

94
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: above average runner despite all that stolen based totals. I

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily push it much higher than that in terms

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: of a scouting grade. And to this point, no home

97
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: runs this season if I had that right, no homers yet,

98
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: one home run this season, one home run total so

99
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: far with him in the minor league system. Yeah, it's

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: not a ton of loud contact on the higher end,

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: but he's been a good baseball player and he's just

102
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: been really productive in a way that I think deserves

103
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: some recognition. Puts him on track to potentially climb to

104
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: Double A later this summer, so somebody that could be

105
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: relatively quick through the system. In terms of the upside,

106
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: it's still to be determined, just because the tools themselves

107
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: aren't overly loud. For Fenwick Trimble, but it is an

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 1: eighty grade name. I think a lot of people notice

109
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: that at the time of the draft, So that alone

110
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: makes him somebody that's very interested, interesting to root for

111
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: as he moves his way through this Marlins system. Fish

118
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: go to another Top thirty prospects, Josh Eckness. He is

119
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: exactly number thirty on the fof Top thirty entering this season,

120
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: and he has done nothing to hurt his stock so

121
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: far this season. In terms of relief only prospects doesn't

122
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: get much better than Acnis. It's a high nineties fastball,

123
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: a gorgeous slider as well that pairs so well off

124
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: of it. He's not allowed a single earned run here

125
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. He was drafted in twenty twenty three,

126
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: and he's already shoving at the Double A level sixteen

127
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: strikeouts this year in just nine and a third endings.

128
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: What you love to see is the control getting sharper

129
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: and sharper as he moves with the organization. One reason

130
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: why he fell to the third day of the twenty

131
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: twenty three draft is because of I mean, he was

132
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: not a successful pitcher in college. He had a six

133
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: thirty four ERA during his collegiate career, a lot of

134
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: that as a starter. But still there's you've seen this

135
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more often now in Major League Baseball

136
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: today than used to, of guys that just were not

137
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: getting out during college. But if the raw stuff is there,

138
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: then on the professional level, there are certain tweaks you

139
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: can make that can all of a sudden lead to

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: a big uptick in strikeouts and an improvement in control.

141
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: So for a guy that struggled so much to throw

142
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: strikes even in college and his first summer in pro ball,

143
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: that Walkery came down considerably last year so that it

144
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: was pretty close to the league average, and then this

145
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: year just three walks, nine and a third, so he

146
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: has been there's really no holes to poke in his

147
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: game so far this year. He's been used in these

148
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: high leverage situations since last year, so that's always good practice.

149
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: As you move up the chain, you're not counting saves

150
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: and the miners guys will never get huge totals there.

151
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: But he has a couple so far this year. He

152
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: has finished six out of seven games overall for Pensacola.

153
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: Just an incredible reliever. So now if you zoom out

154
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: and you look at his stats since the start of

155
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: last season, I'd say two to two eer in about

156
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: eighty five innings pitch with acnes. I could see him

157
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: getting up to the big leagues before the end of

158
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: this year. It really can, and that would make him

159
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: the first twenty twenty three draft pick to do so,

160
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: because it's just a very classic profile that we've seen

161
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: play well at all levels of baseball. Between those two

162
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: plus pitches that he has and now to be able

163
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: to get ahead and counts makes it really difficult for

164
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: anybody to make solid contact off of Josh Acnes. Definitely

165
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: wanted to highlight him before we get too far into

166
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: this season and before potentially he gets bumped up to

167
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: Triple A Jacksonville, which I would not be surprised if

168
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: that happens, and then not too distant future, we finish

169
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: it off with the Jacksonville Jambo Shrimp, and that is

170
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: Jansen Junk. You remember him from spring training. He was

171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: really impressive during major league camp this year. Came to

172
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: Miami as a minor league signing the King, relatively close

173
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: to making the team coming out of camp. He suffered

174
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: this brief injury scare. I believe it was a back

175
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: concern during who would have been his final spring training

176
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: tune up. Never went on the injury list. He was

177
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: ready right near the start of the Triple A season

178
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville and he's been in their rotation and he's

179
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: been awesome in their rotation so far this year. Jansen Jock.

180
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: If I check this out, that's right. He leads the

181
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: entire system in strikeouts this year at all minor league levels,

182
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: thirty five strikeouts in his thirty six and the third innings,

183
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: a two four to eight er and a two thirty

184
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: six fifth to match. You don't see that very often,

185
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: where not only is he getting awesome results, but there's

186
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: really not a whole lot of luck going his way.

187
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: He is earning it. To this point, he's been genuinely great.

188
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: About half of the earned runs he's allowed this year

189
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: came in one bad start, and I think he can

190
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: say the same for his walks, Like he's walk five

191
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: guys this year, and three of those walks came in

192
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: that one bad start. You scrub that from the equation,

193
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: and Jansen Junk has been incredible. You would expect him

194
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: to be to some extent because he's a twenty nine

195
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: year old. He has had big league experience in parts

196
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: of four seasons that went pretty badly for him. But nonetheless,

197
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: if you're repeating the triple A level a few different times,

198
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: he got to take the stats somewhat with a grain

199
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: of salt at that point. His has just been so remarkable.

200
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: And it's also worth noting how balanced they've been against

201
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: righty's and lefties. He's been getting them out at almost

202
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: the exact same clip. Both of them have a sub

203
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: five hundred ops against Junk this season. He has a

204
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: deep pitch mix and a lot of the strikeouts actually

205
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: come off of his fastball, which is becoming increasingly unusual.

206
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: But because of the ride that he gets on that

207
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: pitch the way he commands it, that's where he usually

208
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: finishes off his batters. He does still have a slider

209
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: and a curve ball and a changeup to round things

210
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: out and to keep him to keep batters off balanced

211
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: from both sides of the plate. There's just really not

212
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: much more that he can show for at this point

213
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: to earn an opportunity. We've it's been well documented how

214
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: much is Marlins starting rotation has struggled this year. I

215
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: can't necessarily put my finger on why Valente Beozo got

216
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: a couple starts with the team right now instead of

217
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: somebody like junk for example. I know that forty roster

218
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: spots are precious, but there are a couple of arms

219
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: on this forty man roster that you could squeeze off

220
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: and still hold on to at the moment, whether it's

221
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: as a starter or just gets his first taste in

222
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: long relief. This is somebody that I think has the

223
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: ingredients to get out to the big league level for

224
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: a Marlins team that's been held back by that very thing.

225
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: So it's been a bit annoying how the lack of

226
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: urgency the Marlins have had to shake up their pitching staff,

227
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: and I can give themselves a chance with different arms

228
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: that are performing really well in Jacksonville. The junk is

229
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: arm one of many guys on the Jumbo Shrimp that

230
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: are pitching well this season, but I'd put him at

231
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: the top of the list in terms of ones that

232
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: I think can meaningfully improve the Marlins major league staff

233
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: and eventually in the rotation for some length of time

234
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: this season. I think he's earned that opportunity. The adjustments

235
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: he's made during the offseason have I think made him

236
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: a better pitcher than he's ever been at any point

237
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: in his career to this point. Our four guys under

238
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: the spotlight this year Carter Johnson and Jupiter Fenwick, Tremble

239
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: and Bloite, Josh Eknes and Pensacola and Jansen's Younk Triple

240
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: A Jacksonville. So I am Eli Sussman for another small
