2 starter.

I'm not whatever Horton had last year.

It wasn't a full season, and he's banged up near the end.

But yeah, it's hard because we're asking –

people to grade a guy with a very small sample.

You know, we had Trey Savage on there.

He got great scores and he's like already out with a shoulder impingement, which is just like kind of one of the challenges of trying to, you know, to rank pitchers as they get hurt all the time.

And that's, you know, another thing that gets baked into the equation, I guess, is just how healthy they are.

Yeah, I mean, it just kind of is what it is.

I mean, he's a player who's come back from a ton of injuries, you know, in his career.

He's had like, you know, three or four different sort of, you know, lives as a big leaguer.

And it's a real credit to him to have gotten to where he is now, you know, to be the opening day guy, all-star member of Team USA, all that sort of stuff.

And I think, again, it's like if you can do it...

For another year, for a full season, the people that we are talking to, the scouts and execs and analysts will, you know, be less skeptical about it.

I think that, you know, one of the hard things about trying to grade pitching is just how ephemeral it is, you know, like especially for guys who have a relatively significant, you know, injury history.

But I think just the fact that he cracked this list after, you know, kind of being in the wilderness for so long is a real credit to him.

Yeah, I mean, I think you can tell how much the Cubs valued him and what they were willing to give up, right?

Like they think he's a real legit top of the rotation type of arm.

I think there are other people in the game who, you know, are less sold on that.

And that's probably why he doesn't play on those teams.
