I'd like to think so.
My family's here.
I think so.
I think if you're in big league camp, there's a chance you can make the team who knows what will happen.
There's obviously transactions that could be had injuries.
Uh, obviously we hope all these guys come out of here in full health, but, uh, to me, the way we do things here, if you're a part of big league camp, you have a chance to make the major league club.
And if not, you're in triple a or double a and your major league depth.
So I think Mikey, uh, rightfully so, uh, is trying to earn a spot in that opening day roster.
Uh,
Is it going to be tough competition?
Certainly, and I'm sure he would say the same.
But at the same time, I love his mindset, and I love his wanting to leave here heading to Boston.
Christian Campbell the year before, so 50-50.
Yeah, good question.
You know, obviously we have not started our full ramp-up of minor league camp, but we've had guys here since the start of January.
We've had staff and players here for a few weeks, and a ton of credit to them for continuing to put in the work to make sure they can prepare for this year.
Andy Azokar, who was in Salem most of last year,
his first year stateside was last year outfielder play all three spots a ton of power hits the ball really hard I think the biggest thing for him will just making sure that he swings the pitches in the strike zone I'll say Justin Gonzalez even though he is not probably a lesser name I think he's probably a little bit more of a name that most people know he's 6'5 6'6 and I think growing but another outfielder that again hits the ball incredibly hard has really good swing decisions and bat the ball despite the size
Um, but we're really excited to see.
And, and, you know, I know, I know Rob mentioned them earlier, but the three start, the three starting pitches we drafted early, um, Witherspoon, Ionson and Phillips, uh, physically they're in great spots, uh, mentally they're in great spots and they've thrown a couple of lives and incredibly excited to pitch and compete against other teams.
