CJ Van Eyck is also a AAA.

So we'll have to keep an eye on who starts and who doesn't start for the Bisons today.

That'll probably give us an indication as to who might be available.

But yeah, it's basically going to depend on Corbin.

Yeah, I would think that my default assumption is that teams are going to be essentially who they are basically in all situations.

I don't think that there's... If anything, the Blue Jays are probably more clutch than average, I would say.

Just given George Springer, Ernie Clement, Vlad Jr., these guys have been in so many big spots.

We've seen them perform.

If I had to guess, I would say this group actually is more clutch going forward.

Now...

relative to their overall offensive strength.

But we're not getting a lot of indications that this group is a great offensive team.

In fact, when you look at, strip away all the context, just big, big picture, where is this team?

They're 24th in Major League Baseball and WRC Plus in all situations.

So...

even though I think that they're probably going to be who they are in every situation, including clutch situations going forward, I'm not necessarily convinced that who they are is a great offensive team.

And that connects to George Springer and the year that he's been having.

That connects to Andres Jimenez and the last couple months that he's been having and Dalton Varshow and Vlad Guerrero Jr.

And we could go on and on when it comes to guys who are not necessarily where they need to be offensively.

Now, the return of Kirk, which he's set to DH in a rehab game today, which is obviously great.
