Yeah, I think that when you have starting pitching, it really just cascades down the whole roster because you can move a starter to the bullpen come playoff time.

You don't have to throw

Jeff Hoffman in all five games of a five game series necessarily.

If you have a guy that you feel like can give you seven innings.

Um yeah, I think that they'll be looking into that for sure.

I think that the offensive pieces and the platooning and everything that they have at their disposal looks pretty good to me.

And I think that the bullpen by and large is really night and day compared to last year.

They've had some hiccups lately, but the upside is definitely a lot greater than it was this time last year out of that group.

He reminds me a little bit of Richard Blyer, um, from the Yankees and Orioles a few years back, who like didn't get

Significant time until it was like thirty one, thirty two.

And you know, when you're

That sort of like fungible up and down reliever who doesn't throw hard and you know, the results are good, but you just feel like

That's the type of guy that just has to prove himself way more than the guy who throws ninety seven with a wipeout slider.

I'm sure he will pop back up with the Giants at some point this year and he'll probably, you know, maybe pop back down and then just whack a mole himself right back up with another team and just keep having to prove himself.

But yeah, he's

Played for three or four teams in the majors and has probably been in twice as many organizations in the minors and just

He's good and I think he'll keep getting outs.

It's just someone's gotta give him the runway to, you know, throw fifty or sixty innings.
