Trevor Rodgers, fantastic last year.
Best pitcher in baseball for like three or four months.
If he does that for a full season, Rob, you know how many pitchers have a better ERA than Trevor Rodgers?
Zero, right?
The only one that had a sub-2 ERA last year was Paul Skeens.
So, Trevor Rodgers, if he can be 80% of what he is, he's going to be a damn good pitcher.
If he's 100%, he's going to win the Cy Young.
Kyle Braddish, who's one of my good friends, my teammate.
He was a Cy Young finalist two years ago that people forget.
He's healthy.
But there is the what-ifs.
Yeah, Westy's going to be out.
Jackson's going to be out.

That's Albie.
