Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

I think that's all you're asking guys to do with AAA is to kind of force your hand a little bit.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

He definitely did that.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

And then matter of circumstance with kind of how we are physically made sense to get him here.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

Just a shift in approach and kind of really focusing on some breaking balls, especially from right-handed pitchers, kind of going away from them and trying to get those things started a little bit closer to them, something that he did in the offseason, something that he worked on a lot in spring training and has carried it over to the season.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

Another guy that when we acquire him, it's a guy that can hit the ball hard, and then you're trying to –

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

you know, fill in the gaps a little bit with some of the swing and miss.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

Yeah.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

Kind of that, you know.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

I think he's got seven bags in AAA.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

He's a physical guy, you know what I mean?

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

I remember in spring training, we had to tell him to kind of slow down sometimes, you know, just kind of like he's always on.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

But for a big guy, definitely twitchy, fast, between just the speed, the base dealing, and the power.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

Looking forward to kind of seeing him whenever we can get him in there.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

Yeah, I think so, whether it's that off the bench or, you know, spelling somebody, you know, for a day, a third, or, you know, getting Vladdy the H-Day or something like that, playing first.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

So, yeah, we'll kind of see how it lines up.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

I know there's a lot of right-handed starters coming up, but he's actually handled them quite well this year.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

We'll see how tonight goes.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

I think mention both and see how tonight's game goes.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

There's guys in AAA that we've kind of held off and may go into that depth too.

Blair & Barker
Lockout Looming with Jeff Passan

But a lot of it depends on how Corbin goes today and kind of what our bullpen looks like tomorrow.
