So the Brewers already had that just from playing against him a couple of years ago in San Francisco.
I think it's attention to detail and maybe just having everybody in the organization rowing in the same direction.
Eno and I talk about this on Rates and Barrels all the time.
I think the best organizations, top to bottom, have everybody working and communicating in a way that just sort of maximizes the potential of everybody on the roster.
But it goes all the way down to guys like David Hamilton too, right?
It's not just...
Can we make this guy who was a number four, number five starter for his first couple of years a one or a two?
It's can we turn the bench guy into a temporary starter?
Can we turn the temporary starter into a regular starter?
It's just getting a little more out of everyone goes a long way.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, I think you can pretty reasonably forecast, even though it's been debunked as meaningful, the Verducci effect is still something that teams sort of internally are working through.
It's 30 to 40 innings over the previous career high workload, right?
And I think you can start to anticipate that now.
I think it's a great time to make trades.
What happens in a lot of fantasy baseball leagues is people get past the 50 game mark, usually around Memorial Day here in the U.S., and
It's like the calendar flips to June and everyone gets the itch.
Redraft leagues, keeper leagues, dynasty leagues, they want to make deals because they believe that their strengths are real strengths and their weaknesses are real weaknesses and there's still enough time to do something about it.
I think in the case of this young group of starting pitching that's popped, it includes Nolan McClain, it includes Cam Schlittler, Chase Burns, who you mentioned, Trey Savage.
There are varying levels of how those guys will be managed, but I do think you have to account for that.
