But I will say, just strictly off the player, I probably would have picked Bichette, but it's very comparable.
Ian, Edward Cabrera?
Well, that's what I was going to say, too.
Like, when Steele comes back, another good problem to have is, oh, no, we have six starters.
Like, that's a good problem to have.
Because, you know, like...
In a 162-game season, knock on wood, hopefully no one gets hurt, but it's very unlikely all five starters make 30-plus starts.
It's just not the way the world works, unfortunately, in baseball.
So it's one of those where I don't know what Steele's timeline is, but I'm guessing it's probably close to midseason.
So when he's ready to come back, that's going to be a huge boost, but...
With Cabrera, like you said of how lefties hit his fastball a little bit, I bet it's another one of those, like we talk about all the time, of the Cubs are probably going to work with him and be like, we can add this pitch or do this to get lefties out.
Maybe it's, hey, four seams up in the zone, or they teach him a cutter running in on the hands.
Goat.
He's going to be the closer this year.
That's my goat.
That's my goat forever.
Any role.
You put him in any role, he'll compete.
For sure.
And like Tom said, it was the move that happened first, and it was the one where I was like, this tells me they're all in.
