um it is interesting because arise has actually this year improved dramatically at second base he ron washington was the infield coach with the giants uh and arise showed up the first day and ron washington said look if you're going to get better you have to beat work at this every single day and every day arises out there his defensive metrics have improved
But it set off this series of dominoes where Arise now plays second base.
And Bryson Stott, who's a better second baseman shortstop than he is, he goes to third.
And Alec Bohm, who was a third baseman most of his life, goes to first base.
And Bryce Harper goes out.
It's an island of misfit toys defensively.
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay?
But you love the fact that they're trying to win.
They clearly needed help offensively.
And Luis Arise is one of these players who, every year at the trade deadline...
Excuse me, every winner, when he hits free agency, everyone's like, well, he doesn't really run.
He doesn't hit for a lot of power.
He doesn't have a natural position, so we don't want him.
And then we get to the trade deadline and everyone wants him.
How does this happen?
No, it's because he doesn't hit for power.
He doesn't run well.
And so when you're sitting in a scout meeting, in a front office meeting in November, and you look at all the metrics, and you're like, oh, I don't want to invest in that guy.
And then we're going to get to late September and October.
