Yeah, and Bieber, by the way, hadn't come back yet, like you said, and it cost Cal Stephen, who is a back-end top 100 prospect in the latest Fangraphs top 100.
He's ranked 91st, having a nice start to his season at AA in the Cleveland organization.
But yeah, we'll see how that one plays out in time.
Elsewhere on this Miami Marlins team, you declared victory on Xavier Edwards and Liam Hicks, two of...
Your guys, you went two for three in that class.
Caleb Durbin is, you know, not quite.
Yes, you and Craig Breslow just hanging on to the Caleb Durbin thing.
But look, the Jays audience probably has a handle on who Liam Hicks is because he's a local guy, a Rule 5 success story from last year.
But what made you think he had a little bit more than what he showed last year offensively?
It'll be, yeah, fun to watch there.
And it's a shame with Perdomo that Ildemar Vargas stole all the magic that happened to him from last year in a very different way.
So when you look at this, the Marlins, like you said, they have a bunch of guys like this.
And you could...
If you see that, if you see a bunch of guys with a similar profile, in the same way that the Jays organization, if you look back two years ago, and even now to some extent, was full of high floor, low ceiling, lefty corner outfielders.
Guys with good hit tool, good plate discipline.
Hopefully they find some power.
I think we can say that this is probably something that Peter Bendix, who came over from Tampa Bay, you know, has an idea of whether how to identify or how to develop.
What do you make of where the Marlins are kind of big picture as they, you know, it's a rebuild.
It's, I believe, year two of Bendix.
And they've got some interesting guys at AAA, like Ramirez and De Los Santos, who haven't quite panned out.
