Matt Clement

But now with the pitcher hitting and the DH being in there,

And, you know, just 65 stolen bases is the most impressive stat about him last year.

65 stolen bases is, you know, that's intriguing, really intriguing part.

And I'm anxious to see him play shortstop and see how good the defense is.

Yeah, I just feel like you're going to, to me, with all the natural lefties they have and all the options they have, you're going to sandwich in between two lefties just to make it harder on the bullpen when they bring somebody in, the other team, you know, maybe against a left-handed pitcher.

And if things get off to a good start for him, you see him sneak up the sixth or fifth or whatever the case may be.

And who knows, maybe the Pirates have other plans.

They lead them off tomorrow and just say, hey, let's go for it.

You know, I don't think that's the case, but you have so many natural lefties.

It just makes sense to put them between some of those guys, especially from a strategic standpoint.

Well, fortunately for him, everybody in the Meyer Leagues that he's facing are throwing.

It's the same velocity.

It's the same nasty breaking balls and change-ups and all these.

The metrics of the pitches are nasty.

Everybody in the Meyer Leagues, they cut Meyer League teams.

Nobody's bad in the Meyer Leagues right now.

you're going to see some different consistency and, you know, consistently on the corners, consistent location, not missing near as much.

I think that's going to be, to me, and he probably saw that in spring training to an extent his first couple at-bats, but maybe when he got deeper in the game and the starter was removed, it felt more like the minor leagues.

That's the biggest difference

in my major league.
