Maybe that's a little bit of an over-exaggeration, but I still think there is a role for him as a right-handed bat, as a DH, against left-handed pitching.

They're a very left-handed hitting lineup with Cruz.

They brought in O'Hearn, Brandon Lau.

I know that.

He's still a left-handed hitter, which is what I said.

And Brian Reynolds, who's a switch hitter.

So, I think that McCutcheon is valuable in spots.

You're not going to start him every day.

He should not be your everyday DH.

I'm not saying that.

But against lefties in late-game situations, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th inning...

I think he could still be used as a pinch hitter, and I still think that that last spot on the bench, maybe we're overvaluing how much that guy is truly going to be used in a DH lineup because I think we've seen over the past years that that last guy is not utilized as much as people might think.

So you also pointed something to my attention, Joe, about what Keith Law had to say about Connor Griffin.

So, of course, Keith Law made Connor Griffin the number one prospect on his list for the Athletic, saying he's the most exciting prospect we've had in the minors since Mike Trout.

I think he's going to end up as one of the best players in baseball once he's established.

But Joe, you can fill us in a little bit more.

Keith Lodge says something that this could be an Otani on the Angels-like situation.

Yeah, I don't think they will unless they sign him to a long-term extension.

And Mackey has said that they haven't had any conversations, but it seems like there's some mutual interest on both sides.

Obviously, those conversations need to happen.
