He's just a franchise player.

And you got to work with them because they have enough good talent around them that as a young player, when he takes his lumps, you look and you see Alex Bregman, you say, OK, you know, we got people that can hold this down.

Yeah, in terms of making the adjustments.

I think the main thing is like,

When you get an opportunity to sort of get the reps that you need, and this is a big part of it, like you get the chance to, whether it's playing every day or whether it's getting the consistency, a lot of times people will thrive under that environment.

And I know for me, when I came up, I was sort of the platoon guy, right?

And in some ways I look back and I say, well, it might've been better for me to not just be thrown in the fire,

And just to be able to kind of go and say, okay, let's just see what this guy has, give the long runway.

I feel like I benefited a lot by observing that day off and just watching these guys go about their business.

So when you look at that, you realize a lot of young guys that come up are really thrown in the fire.

And they shoot through the minor leagues, by the way, at just epic paces.

So they're not gonna be there very long.

And they're going to get up there quickly, and they have to learn on the fly.

And the coaching has to kind of continue at the major league level more so than ever because they're so quickly shot through.

So I see that as, you know, when you have an opportunity to have young players, they come up and they have these chances to really prove themselves.

And then you remember, like, gosh, this guy was drafted a year ago.

This guy just signed.

That is impressive.

And I have great respect for a lot of the young guys that are able to come up

and make these kinds of adjustments and get a chance to shine because the game needs that youth.
