Okay, so really like a lot of what Kayla brings to the table.
You know, strong defender, strong bat-to-ball skills, really versatile right-handed hitter, and also feel like he's a good fit for our park, just given kind of the profile of hitting the ball in the air to the pole side.
I think it was like a 20% air pull metric last year.
I feel like that will play well at Fenway.
Versatility in terms of where he can play and still feel like his best days are ahead of him, just given kind of the age and
and control, and we're excited to get him into our organization.
Sure.
Alex, Caleb, and I talked a little bit this morning.
I think at this point, we're just excited about getting a really good player into the organization, and we'll figure out where he fits best.
It just doesn't feel like it makes sense to commit to anything right now.
He's got experience at third base in the big leagues, some experience at second coming up.
He's played a little bit of shortstop, and I think that versatility is something that helps us out, but we'll figure that out as we get into camp and get underway.
I do, yeah.
I think he showed last year that he can be a very good everyday player in the big leagues.
He does a lot of things really, really well.
When you think about some of the deficiencies that our team had last year in terms of putting the ball in play, not expanding the strike zone, catching up to fastballs, those are all things that he excels at, and we think that he's a really good defender as well.
I think that's something that we'll figure out as we get to know Caleb and we look at the way that the roster comes together.
Certainly, Alex has shown that he's willing to take advantage of matchups and move guys around, but I don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves before we've had a chance to really sit down and talk this through.
Craig, more broadly, how do you...
view with everything you've done and unofficially have done, like how third base and second base shake out right now.
