This year it's 14%.

Contact rate last year was 71%.

This year it's 81.

So those are some very real and significant improvements.

So I think that that was really like the theme of that deadline was let's get some close to the majors depth that hasn't made its big league debut yet.

Let's put them through a bit of finishing school and they can help us backfill for the inevitable injuries on our very veteran laden roster in the future.

and just give us a nice above replacement level fill-in when guys go down.

This is my assumption.

And if you're a Blue Jays fan, you better hope that that's what it is.

Because the other options are Ernie Clement injury or Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

injury.

I can't imagine.

Or perhaps Kazuma Okamoto injury.

And you don't want any of those things.

So presuming those guys are all healthy and have, because we have no reason to assume otherwise, presuming they all made it to Baltimore intact.

I don't see any other option other than Lenine Sosa being DFA'd.

Right.

But yeah, those would be the options.

So I think the most likely one is that it's Lenny and Sosa hitting waivers.

And look, you understood what the Blue Jays were doing at the time that they acquired him from the White Sox.
