It looks like they're going to be able to continue to develop the talent when they get a hold of really good arms.
It looks like they've got that down.

Like, yes, I can put โ if I've sat down with $500 at the blackjack table and I've now got $1,000, if I want to maximize my return, I can put $1,000 out on one hand, but I shouldn't do it.
And, frankly, if I've doubled my money โ
That's about as far as I can go, and if somebody's willing to give me something that's much more stable and durable, I should cash in on it when I can.
That's all I want to say is if you're a math team, go with the math.
The math is he's going to get hurt, right?
You're the one who said the harder you throw, the more likely you are to get hurt.
I mean, when we talked about Paul Skeens, you said Paul Skeens, his rookie year, should start the All-Star game because, frankly, we don't know if he'll ever make another one because that's how volatile it is when a guy throws the way that Paul Skeens and Cole Reagans throws.
I think the point you made about the Brewers is a good one.
They're like, hey, they move them when it's at the end.
They get as much out of them as they can, then they go, okay, you take the risk here.
I think that's a really good one.
You know, the injury history coupled with the way he throws is part of the equation.
But there is also the element of, you know, this is a guy that's had an ERA below three once.
He's had an ERA below four.
