And then, you know, this โ€“

Blair & Barker

So far, they've gotten off to a slow start with some of their pitchers as well this year.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

And so if you look at this team, it's underperformed.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

Having said all that, lately they've been playing really well.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

They just swept the Rays, who you've seen too.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

They're really, really good.

Blair & Barker

They won two of three against the Yankees.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

They're starting to trend up, and it looks like things are starting to come together for them, kind of like it is for Toronto with the Jays right now, the way they've been playing lately too.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

It is staggering.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

And if you look at, like, if you took their ERA for the entire month of May, it's 29th in the sport, starting pitching and bullpen.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

It's like 29th, and I think the Rockies might be the worst at 30th.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

You know, so they've really, you know, when they played their home games, it's been exceptional, and it's been exceptionally bad on the road.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

I do think there's a chance that that happens.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

You know, Visayo can play a little bit of first base, so can Rutschman.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

Obviously, Alonzo, they just signed to a five-year deal, and he's been playing mostly first base.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

But I know when he was negotiating his deal with the Mets, a lot of their conversation was about playing, you know, being the DH.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

So I think there is a rotation there where you could, you know, DH โ€“

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

And, you know, of course, when you're catching, you always can use a day off there.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

So, you know, I've talked to their manager, Craig Alvarez.

Blair & Barker

He comes on my radio show every other week.
