Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

He played the whole season.

Marcelo has played second and third.

Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

I think it's more for you guys than for me.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

What are we looking for?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

Like two ground balls in spring training?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

I'm good.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

Yeah, but you know what I'm saying?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

I think sometimes we make a big deal out of spring training and positions.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

I don't think spring training, because you take five ground balls at third base, make you a better third baseman.

There's more that comes into play, right?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

Metrics and your first step and projections and all that.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

But I think at the end of the day,

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

You know, it's who we feel more comfortable with it in which position and also the player.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

You know, I don't want Caleb to be moving from second and third during the season.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

I want him to play one position only and then just go do your thing at the plate.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

Yeah, he has a good arm, man.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

He was banged up last year, and I think that actually helped him with everything that he's doing right now.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

I've seen a lot of third basemen.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

with cannons at third base, but their footwork is not great.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Cora In The Morning: Making The Big Caleb Durbin Announcement (Sort Of)

This kid has a good arm and he has great footwork.
