How you doing, Ben?

Hey, buddy.

I'm good.

I feel like a soft spot at the top of the lineup here and who you guys have coming on.

I mean, Buck and the voice of BattleBots, one of my favorite shows in college, Chris Rose.

I don't know now.

That's high-quality stuff.

That's good job by your booking.

I guess.

It's not.

It's a lot of fun.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

Yeah, this was a surprising one.

I didn't see it coming, I would say.

You mentioned a lot of the positives, 22 homers last year.

He's pre-arbitration right now, so you'd have control of him for the majority of his prime, which I think is probably attractive.

But the interesting thing is, as far as I know, he's out of options.

They're going to have Lydia Sosa on their roster if they're going after him, and I think this probably means, I mean, they hadn't used Tyler Fitzgerald a lot yet.

I think this means that, you know, they felt like they wanted something different in that role maybe because I thought there were some times Fitzgerald might get in there soon that he didn't get in during the last homestand, so...

I think what it means to me is they're just looking for something else in that kind of bench, right-handed hitting infielder spot.
