There was still a lot of turnover.

So you're going to have turnover just because of aging, because of contractual control and things like that.

We've had a core, but our core has actually changed quite a bit.

Some of our team leaders have left, and some other players have stepped up.

So I think just the way baseball is set up, you're going to have churn and turnover.

And yet we've signed a lot of guys.

But on a roster of 26, I don't know, 5, 6, 7 guys, there's still a lot of turnover.

So it's going to happen anyways, one way or the other.

And, you know, for us it was a lot of success, seven postseasons in a row, six divisions in a row.

But the one thing we did pretty much every year was pitch.

This past year we did a lot of injuries and so on.

So there's definitely a correlation between the injuries to the rotation, a lot of success in the rotation, and us missing the playoffs.

Oh, he's back, obviously.

We love him.

He's great.

We were so focused on manager, but my hope is that Chris Sale doesn't wear any other uniform other than the Braves for the rest of his career.

One of my favorite players of all time.

No, I'd heard.

I mean, we had heard great things.

We had such great reports on him, but...
