I really like him as a reliever.

I think he has the right mentality.

He's got a great edge to him.

It's funny.

He's not phased by much.

I mean, right now, Santana's a very good closer, and I like their bullpen.

Like, there's not a need right now.

I'd bring him back as a starter.

I think that's what they're going to do.

But, you know, long term, I don't know if, you know, they keep Dennis Santana around, but maybe Jones becomes your closer.

Maybe he becomes a back-end reliever who throws 101.

I think that's a possibility.

But, you know, probably as a starter, and you just take care of his innings a little bit coming off an injury.

You know, he'll be a three-, four-, maybe five-inning guy.

They'll be careful with him.

Yeah, so the Pirates have two union representatives, Paul Skeens.

He's on the eight-person subcommittee, and Henry Davis is the team rep.

I talked to both of them this morning.

I mean, they're both very happy, encouraged by the union's response to this.

I haven't been on Twitter a ton today.
