Carter Hawkins

I mean, you know, he didn't pitch in the playoffs last year.

We weren't certain whether you were going to bring him back or not.

The contract was so complicated.

And now you look at it and you're like, oh my gosh, what would have happened if Shota wasn't here?

I mean, he's been...

He's been sensational.

You know, we were talking again this morning about Pete Crow Armstrong and the home run yesterday, and obviously a great decision to sign him when you did.

Maybe Nico Horner is already outplaying his contract.

I mean, do you...

Do you ever look at stuff like that and say, wow, we handled that really well, and when Nico is doing what he's doing, it feels like, I know this is a strange thing to say, but he has outplayed that contract.

Yeah.

I'm curious, you know, you guys are kind of having a special season.

There's no way around it.

And there are a lot of different reasons for that.

But when you go through a mental list of them, where does the development of Moises Ballesteros fit?

How important has that been?

And obviously he's, you know, becoming a more important piece of the lineup with every one that's put together.

I'm curious, Carter, just as a general idea of this season in baseball, what has been your takeaway from the ABS system?

Do you feel like it should take over?

Do you like the way it's used right now?
