Caleb Joseph

Kind of got emotional about that, and it seemed like that just kind of carried into spring training.

He had a bit of, I think it may have been a back issue in spring training that kind of tweaked him out for a little bit and then just was never really able to kind of regain that form that he had last year.

They spend a lot of money.
