But, look, I think having the anchor in the bullpen –
it just sets things up.
It helps the manager.
You know, again, I, you know, I'm sure Walt would agree with that.
I don't want to speak for him, but having set up and knowing that your ninth inning is settled and then you can build around that behind that and so on.
And obviously we've got Dylan Lee who's back and a lot of other guys, but you know, we still have other work to do.
I think I mentioned this at the GM meetings, you know, we need a lot of relievers.
So,
Our plan is not to just get one reliever and be done.
I mean, we're going to need to do more.
How that's going to present itself, who, what, when, where, I don't know yet.
But closer is definitely the anchor, and you definitely want to get that solved.
Yeah, I think, look, ideally you'd love to have someone that can play, you know, when you have center field and shortstop, that's hard to find guys that can play both positions like that, right?
Those are two premium spots.
Every team needs a backup center fielder.
Every team needs a starting shortstop or a backup shortstop.
Those are just harder positions to find.
So when one player can fill both, that has value.
So were we looking for that?
I mean, I guess you'd always like to have that, right?
