So when you watch that opening day, when you watch, or you watch McLean in the WBC, whatever, take me through what you're thinking, what that's like for you.

It's funny you say that.

I'm thinking, I'm like, when I'm 46 straight days of spring training, I'm in the picture.

Like, when I get outside, I'm like, man, I was there for a long time.

You don't know what day it is.

No.

All of that.

Carson Bench, when he hits, that's one of the guys, right?

Yeah.

If you could take me through sort of, because that's another thing.

You have him, then you have spring training, and then you have what he did.

What was your perspective of his evolution?

Like you said, you had him last year when you go into spring training.

was your inclination like okay i'll probably see him in syracuse or did he as he went along really just change your view of him i guess even yeah i i think i still thought that there would be a chance we would see him here just depending on you know like i'm glad i mean he had a really good camp

Yeah, but you know, spring training.

Right, spring training, spring training.

Yeah, yeah.

Do you talk to other coaches in the front office?

Are they seeing that too?

Is that part of the equation?
