And really, one of the key things for us was we have such amazing pros, Latin pros, which he doesn't speak a whole lot of English.
Dean Perez, Carlos Carrasco is back up now.
Robert Suarez, Rysel Iglesias.
Those guys are awesome.

We can have the best coaches and staff in the world.
I don't think there's anything like peer-to-peer.
Just the value of that is off the charts.
I've learned that over time.
And having him around those guys, Gwinnett is our true Ripley affiliate.
There's nothing we can do in Gwinnett to simulate the experience up here, being around those guys, competing, and knowing what he needs to work on.
And he's also helping us win games.
So if he wasn't, he wouldn't be here, but if he can help in the bullpen and make that a strength,
