Well, it is kind of crazy.

Like, I...

I suspect because it always works out this way, you're going to land and you're going to have like three or four starters.

But right now it is kind of crazy in the sense that you have one of the stars that you paid, that you traded potentially your top position prospect for in Johan Oviedo in the bullpen to start the year.

You have one of the elite pitching prospects who was in the major leagues last year, had an unbelievable spring training.

He started in AAA in Peyton Tolley.

You have two pitchers who both have had success in the major leagues who are basically they're slow playing and keeping in Fort Myers, but a lot of teams would have already put them in a rotation, and that's Cutter Crawford and Patrick Sandoval.

All of that.

Yeah, well, you're entering the season with Crochet, Sonny Gray, Ranger Suarez, Brian Baio, who was like at the WBC, like injected a new life into his veins.

And then they decided to say, hey, you know what?

Conley Early, he's earned the right.

And maybe, and thank you, Sam Dykstra, for always remembering or helping us remember about the benefits of winning the rookie of the year or being the top two.

They think that he has a chance to win the rookie of the year because everyone's like, oh, contract manipulation.

Well, if they think he has a chance to win the rookie of the year, that's just as good in a lot of teams' eyes.

Am I wrong?

I just gave...

to my webster i'm just like this keep giving nuggets yeah oh yeah so when you hear that on the broadcast just know that they're happy it was passed along yeah and then obviously whitlock really solid in the wpc until the end and then obviously it rolls chapman if he can repeat anything here's the thing about whitlock and we we got to move on to number six yeah but the last thing i think about red sox

I want to actually look this up.

So I went up to Whitlock and I said, hey, listen, I know that it didn't work out at the end, but what I'll remember was that inning where you faced Soto, Vlad, and Machado.

Yeah.
