There was a lot of good and there was some bad in that one.

Jason, the one thing that keeps popping up every single day and until he's up here, it's going to keep popping up, is Connor Griffin.

For your best information and understanding of what the Pirates are doing here, what is a timeline for him, realistically?

Probably depends on those layers.

Yeah, and there's a lot of risk both ways.

There's risk on the team.

I mean, I remember when O'Neal Cruz was first coming up, people wanted him to get one of those eight- to nine-year deals.

I saw yesterday where Colt Emerson in Seattle has a lot of young prospects, Jason.

He's another kid, very similar to the Connor Griffin story, I guess, because he's a shortstop.

I think he's 20 years old.

And they signed him to an eight-year $95 million deal, sight unseen, basically, in the majors.

Especially after eight straight balls.

You don't do that.

You have to.

He knows that.

He knows that.

The only thing, I mean, to me, in an ideal situation, he's a very good guy to have as a bench guy playing a lot of positions.

But the one thing about these lineups, and I realize that they are challenged in some ways, Jason, but I think always...

It's much more productive, and I look at the Atlanta Braves just because they typically have the same lineup every single day.

Down the road, to me, that has got to be one of the – because if you're a player, you get used to wherever you're batting, what slot that is.
