You know, who fills in the blank and can โ€“

And Yongo sit over there for two or three days, come off the bench, and look the way he's been looking the last couple days.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

I don't know the answer to that.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

That's something they'll have to figure out, and I'm sure they'll weigh through it.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

But I'm going to tell you this right now.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

I'm taking the hottest dudes.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

What you did for me last year doesn't matter?

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

Not right now.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

I'll be 16-21.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

You think John cares about what they did last year when they're 16-21?

The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

I mean, I'm not saying they're going to be because I think they're going to win at least one of the next two games.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

Yeah, but it ain't early anymore.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

And for me, you're playing the hottest hand.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

You're playing guys and keeping guys on your roster that you think when you put them in the game in a certain situation that they can fight and claw and compete and give you a quality at bat.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

Now, it don't have to be a successful at bat all the time, but you got to fight and claw.

Blair & Barker
The Rays' Way with Marc Topkin

You got to give yourself a chance.
