So it's a matter of whether they want to build him up to six innings in the minors or whether they want to have him come up and build up in the –

majors like they did with some of their other guys in the last year when they did that with Chandler and Ashcraft and Majinski where they start them in the bullpen and get them some short relief and some long relief and then move them into a starting position.

That's the way it seems to be under Ben Sherrington is how they've built up the pitchers.

Yeah, I mean, I think Tamar's probably ticketed for spending the season at AAA.

And I think, you know, this could be a year we see him make his debut.

He's 21 going on 22, I believe, or 22 going on 20.

He might be 22 going on 23, but he's still very young.

Tamar hit a triple the other day and showed some speed on the base pass.

He looks like

He's very muscular, but he looks like he's a little leaner this year than he was last year.

He said he did some Pilates in the offseason.

I think some of these guys start to realize the value of the year-round conditioning and nutrition that goes into it.

Tamar very much came out with

You know, he was considered a generational talent with his bat in terms of prep people.

They were talking about him being compared to, I mean, when he got drafted, they were talking about him comparing to the Ken Griffey Jr.

and Barry Bonds and Terry Pendleton, guys that were MVPs, saying that's the type of bat he had, the bat speed and the knowledge.

I think the big question with Tamar, you know, kind of like with Nick Gonzalez and Henry Davis,

It was not the offense coming up.

It was more that this is a guy who defensively has some catching up to do.

And it's a matter of whether he can play second base or shortstop or third base.
