So he's a lot closer to being ready.
So I would say he's probably next up.
And I'd be pretty surprised, to be honest with you, Soren, if we did not see Kate Anderson at the major league level this year, if not before the All-Star break.
Yeah, I mean, we might be a few weeks away.
I mean, look, a lot of that depends on need.
And, you know, they don't claim they really need anybody right now because they've got J.P.
I think Mariner fans are ready to see somebody else at shortstop, at least defensively, than J.P.
I mean, this is not a very good defensive baseball team.
And the gap that you saw from J.P.
over the weekend is kind of maybe a little bit of a microcosm and the epitome of why.
So, you know, the one thing the Mariners aren't going to do is rush this guy, right?
Like the days of rushing prospects up to the big leagues like they did under Jack Zarensik and Bill Bavesi back in the day, those days are over.
You know, I mean, Colt Emerson's playing okay.
Doesn't need to play great in AAA, but they've got to combine โ
I think his readiness with a place to play every day, they're not bringing him up, Seren, to sit on the bench and rot.
