Yeah, we're going to certainly sit down and look at everything, including our coaching staff.

It's normal after any season to do a coaching staff evaluation.

When you come off of a disappointing season like this, it's certainly going to be a little bit more intense.

Yeah, extreme disappointment.

Extreme disappointment.

I think we all shared that.

And that's certainly what I felt.

Yeah, I think we're going to have to be open-minded on our position player grouping so that we can improve our run prevention.

Does that mean there are robust changes?

I don't know.

Does it mean people could be playing different positions?

Maybe.

Does it mean we ask people to play different roles?

Maybe.

A day after a season ends, I'm certainly not going to commit to what things look like in spring training or opening day, but I'll say it again.

Our run prevention this year was not good enough, and that is both pitching and defense.

They go hand in hand, and we need to improve them both.

Is there something about the way this team kind of played together during some of its more crucial times?

You know, it's a very natural question because of some of those types of stats that are out there.

I can tell you my experience in the clubhouse throughout this year is we had guys who cared about each other, who cared about winning, who worked hard.
