me it's about x's and o's it's about who's the best option for you this kid has what it takes everyone has said so they speak eloquently about what he is physically what he's down there defensively he's how he plays shortstop i make your left side of your infield better to me he's your leadoff batter now you know and i put him on i get him on base as much as i can yeah

You don't think there's pressure on him already?

He's being talked about as the next... It's added pressure.

I don't care.

He's probably up for it.

There's pressure no matter where he bats.

I'd bat him leadoff.

I'd get him on base and see how things happen.

Well, they missed that out on schemes.

They didn't do that, and they missed out on that.

And this is why it's exciting.

And for those, again, until they show it, it is just talk.

But you arguably could have right now, Austin, your three most generational players

in baseball, three of them on your team, Skeens, Griffin, and I'm going to put O'Neal Cruz into that too because he's been thought of as that guy who can be such a difference maker.

Well, again, I'm not going to include him in that, but for now, for now, those three guys, according to all the baseball people who know all about these guys, Skeens and Griffin were looked at as top-notch elite guys.

Both will be here now, and then you add Cruz to the mix if he can, you know, I think it's pretty exciting for sure.

But that's great.

We'll keep an eye on whether or not there's a contract attached to this.

Jason would know that.

Well, why don't we have Jason on next?
