There's no human being I'd rather be talking to on the planet more than AJ Hinch right now.

So...

Spring training is a tricky one, and we're right in the middle of now where we have to sort of start veering one way or the other.

For you, how has it evolved in terms of valuing spring training, or has it evolved?

I wonder, with more of the measurements, that we're able to quantify things more, if you've seen a shift in that.

Because a guy can say, all right, you know, I think this looks good, but the numbers aren't showing that it looks good.

How much has that changed?

Specifically, as a guy I've seen him play a couple times, Kevin McGonigal, when you come into spring and you know of him and you obviously watched him before, is there anything in these few weeks that have sort of jumped out at you?

Anybody who goes down a rabbit hole as he told me about YouTube clips of Dustin Pedroia, I'm like, okay, that's good.

This is the last thing in terms of spring training.

Your history, I don't know if you have one guy or two guys like, oh, man, I remember this guy tore up spring training.

This guy dominated spring training.

Maybe they always dominated spring training.

Maybe it was you.

I don't know.

It was definitely not me.

All right, well, thank you.

I appreciate it.

All right, great stuff from AJ.

Next up is Ward.
