You know, they obviously made an investment there with Tyler Austin.

You have Matt Shaw, who's going to be in the super utility role.

You still have kind of like the catching tandem between Carson Kelly and Miguel Amaya.

But still, like, you don't know where that potential drop-off could come.

And so...

I think, you know, one question is how much have they raised the floor of the group, especially on the position player side, since they really didn't need to rely on that much last year.

And then I think the other question I think for every team that they face is, you know, will the starting pitching in particular hold up?

You know, they really tried to address the depth of that.

Justin Steele is expected back somewhat early this season, maybe potentially mid-May.

And so it's a really intriguing group.

There's a lot of potential upside within that.

You get a full season of Cade Horton.

But I think the health component is obviously a big question mark and the ripple effect that that could have.

Yeah, both him and Christian Bethencourt are still not here yet due to visa issues.

Correct Council was telling us yesterday that

you know, his kind of expectation at the moment is maybe they're here by the weekend at the earliest, but that there just really is not a lot of clarity at the moment in terms of when they'll be able to arrive.

And yeah, it's really tough for Ballesteros, who is very much in the mix to get regular at-bats as their designated hitter.

And

You know, part of that, too, is, you know, they still want him developing as a catcher.

And so for him, I mean, he's already – this is day six since pitchers and catchers first reported last week.
