If he struggles at times, okay, that doesn't mean there are thoughts about what he can be.

Also, if he gets off to a hot start, it may cost him a little bit more maybe down the road, but it's not going to be that much in terms of an alteration of whatever figures we're talking about, right?

For the first several years, you don't have to do it.

10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

He'd be at a price where it doesn't impact what they would spend on other players because it'll be good money, but it won't be the kind of money that would break them from going out and offering free agent money to anybody else.

10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

So I think that's a good situation for them now and him both.

The Pomp And Joe Show
10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

He's undergoing so much pressure already just for being the number one prospect.

He is.

The Pomp And Joe Show
10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

Why would you bat him fifth?

The Pomp And Joe Show
10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

I feel confident of that.

The Pomp And Joe Show
10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

I have one other.

The Pomp And Joe Show
10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

This is just way โ€“ just part of the conversation I wanted to ask you about just because it made me think about options that they have.

The Pomp And Joe Show

Let's say Cruz's bat's still going good, but he continues to have trouble in center field.

The Pomp And Joe Show
10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

I still think he's going to be your center fielder, but I'm throwing this out just for conversation's sake.

The Pomp And Joe Show
10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

Would they be better off playing Mangum in center, him in right, O'Hearn, who I think is a better first baseman in the right field at first, and again, your bench would โ€“

benefit because Spencer Horwitz would be on it he can also come in and do different things or put you know I is that something if things and I get it's a big if if things continue to be a defensive struggle for him and I don't even know how he would be in right field but would they consider moving him around I don't think so Bob I don't either but I'm just asking to get Ryan O'Hearn back in his I think Ryan O'Hearn's a really good defensive first baseman

The Pomp And Joe Show
10AM - Penguins playoff excitement, BREAKING: Pirates to promote Konnor Griffin; Jason Mackey explains why the Pirates are calling up Griffin

I start with Cruz and them not wanting to move him.

The Pomp And Joe Show

But I also have said, and I believe it, I'll keep him out there as long as his bat is alive and well.
