But, you know, like Yogi used to say, it's getting late early here.

as long as he's healthy, you know, in all likelihood, right?
So you're not going to worry about that.
But there certainly are, you know, issues that are going to have to be dealt with with some of these teams.

You know, Cody Ponce was brought in to help with the rotation depth, already done for the year after one start, two innings.
