But to be honest with you, everyone was starting to look at age with my brother when he had to get Tommy John surgery a couple years ago at 38, 39 years old, and everybody said he's done.

Well, he came back the following year and won the Cy Young Award.

Crazy.

There's just been a few players throughout the history of sports that you can't look at their age and say they're done.

Father Time catches up with everybody.

That may be true.

But Justin is doing things a little bit differently, and he's put himself in a position as one of those players in the history of sports that has just pushed Father Time a little bit down the road.

And you can look at his numbers last year, especially down the stretch.

I don't care that he's 42, about to be 43 in a little bit less than a month.

He's going to help a team, and he's not going to help a team because he's a savvy veteran.

He's going to help a team because he's a really, really good pitcher that really focuses on his craft, and it really means a lot to him.

I'm a little bit surprised that I feel like I haven't heard a single thing about Eugenio Suarez.

I mean, this is a guy that was a big trade acquisition for the Seattle Mariners.

He's a guy that's going to hit you 40-plus homers.

I mean, look, I get it's not the most appealing batting average to say this guy's going to hit you around 220 to 230 homers.

But let's look at the OPS.

Let's look at this.

You can plug a guy right in the middle of your lineup that can hit 40-plus homers and drive in a bunch of runs for you.

And I feel like we haven't been talking about him much.

We have talked about him, but I would say it's a little surprising Zach Gallin is still out there.
