Do you have more confidence in Roman Anthony as a left fielder or as a leadoff hitter?

Oh, a leadoff hitter.

Okay.

Yeah.

Is he getting on base enough?

How do you feel about Caleb Durbin thus far?

Obviously a really, really bad start.

He's gotten a couple of hits since then.

He's not in the lineup every single day.

He was back in there yesterday, though.

But he's the guy that's pretty much been given the job out of camp, and everyone's just sort of waiting for him to sort of get going.

But what's your take, what, 12 games into the season on Durbin?

Well, the marketing team's on fire right now with these cooler cups and the Roman Anthony bobblehead.

They're on one.

Let's go.

You mentioned Papelbon.

He's one of, I think a few people have mentioned, Ranger Suarez's issues might have something to do with the new ABS challenge system where he's a guy that would paint corners, be a little outside, and now you can't really be that cute anymore.

Teams can challenge it, and he's throwing a lot over the middle of the plate.

Do you subscribe to that theory?

As Jones mentioned, you talk to a lot of people in the game.
