And, you know, I might have faced Beltre at that time.

That was right in the beginning of my career.

And I don't remember that specifically.

You're the number one prospect.

You know, you're coming to a – you're not sneaking onto the Dodgers right now as the number one prospect where you're going to be a part of this group.

You're – you know, the fans are going to expect you to do something

probably before you even should be expected to do something, if that makes sense.

They're going to want to see it right away, have the expectations.

And again, it's amazing.

A credit to him, honestly.

A credit to him, a credit to the Pirates.

When he was picked ninth overall, that wasn't the most popular pick.

A lot of people weren't rallying behind it, not that there's a lot of experts in the amateur draft as much as there are in football drafts.

because there's high school and everything else, but credit to the Pirates.

They got it right.

They got it right with schemes.

They could have took Dylan Cruz there.

They've got a lot wrong that people complain about, but those are two picks that they got right, and it makes them an interesting franchise with these two great young players.

No, not at all, because you think about what's the Pirates' futility been the last 10 years, more offensively than defensively.
