You take care, Bob.

We are in the fast lane with that song as we bring you back to Pomp and Joe's show.

Got a lot of X reaction here concerning the Pirates.

Jake Stain, 2020, I think his handle is, and says, they need to do more.

You're not going to impress me until you get another bat.

Okay.

I would agree with that, but, I mean, it has to be a third base bat, but I don't know how that market is right now, and it would have to require a trade.

B-plus is what I thought because they did add bats.

They added basically over 200 runs batted in among those three guys.

So they didn't make a big splash, but they made enough splashes.

I would have liked Suarez at third just because I think that's the right-handed bat and you solve a position need.

Now, if Triolo starts at third base this year, that's fine.

But at some point, he's going to make way for a shortstop.

Connor Griffin will be that, and that's the case.

Again, I'm not down on Nick Gonzalez.

A lot of people seem to think that he's not an answer anywhere.

I don't know that he's defensively at third base, what he may need to be, but he's a better bat than Triolo on a consistent basis, I think.

So I'd be looking that way and have Triolo be the ultimate guy who's going to do all sorts of stuff.
