BIB on the Radio: How A Farm Director Dishes Out Minor League Assignments

I think some of it is just getting used to the upper levels.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

The Eastern league is really strong pitching.

Um, his, this will be his first, uh, first start of a season in cold weather, which I think will be a bit of a challenge too, for, for not only him, but some of our younger Latin players who have never really experienced, you know, 30, 40 degree weather in, in April, um, for the start of the season.

So, um,

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: How A Farm Director Dishes Out Minor League Assignments

Just, again, I would say the impact of the bat.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: How A Farm Director Dishes Out Minor League Assignments

We obviously have some goals set out for him, and I expect him to reach them and get a chance in Worcester at some point.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

But we're really pleased with what he's done so far, his growth, and he's still really young.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: How A Farm Director Dishes Out Minor League Assignments

Again, incredibly excited about that young man.

So I think, you know, even we saw with, you know, later in the game, a couple of guys realized we did not have challenges and they had to stop themselves from patting their heads.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

So I think that will be a challenge for guys when they feel really strongly about something, understanding the situation, understanding where we are with challenges.
