Great if it happens on time, but don't be surprised if it takes longer.

So because of that, I feel like Javier Assad is the most likely next man up.

It was Assad or Ray, the discussion when...

when we had Kate Horton go down.

So I feel like next it's got to be Javier Assad.

Now, I know that might deplete the bullpen somewhat, but I feel like they're already playing with that kind of mindset.

You know, they're managing the roster with that kind of mindset.

We saw Corbin Martin reportedly get DFA'd this morning.

So I know it's going to be just a shuffling of the bullpen.

You just don't want that to be...

You're going to have to do some of it throughout the course of the season, but you don't want it to be as high stress, I think, into perpetuity.

But I don't know what they think they are built for.

And like we saw last year, they didn't want to give up the price for a lot of the going rate for pitchers.

They ended up with Michael Soroka, and that didn't end well for them at all.

So...

It's hard to figure out how this goes moving forward with the chain of reaction of events that could happen.

You take Assad out of the bullpen and that's another reliable arm.

Well, I mean, that's how we got Kel Palmflex, as I like to refer to it.

That was the Brad Keller, Drew Pomerantz, Chris Flexin combination.

It wasn't yesterday, no.
