To make additions, to make improvements.

Some teams, they're very cautious during free agency period because they don't want to overspend on those guys.

And they kind of look at it like if we have a good two or three months, that's when we will pounce, make our moves in early July or at the trade deadline.

And I think that could be another option for the Pirates.

The concern, however, and so many fans have probably been traumatized by the fact that the season's already lost by the time

You get two months in.

You don't want to leave something on the table in terms of a player that you don't bring in and then end up losing close games in April and May and it derails your season.

It did backfire with schemes, though.

Not to pull a pony on you here, can I counter that then?

If you think it's going to take time for him to adjust to major league pitching, wouldn't you rather get that clock started right from the get-go?

I have an interesting question about that because I've heard so many people say that.

Do we believe that he's a better prospect than Skeens was?

See, I'm not there yet.

No, everyone says this is the biggest prospect since what, Mike Trout?

I've heard that said.

But it's not even the biggest prospect in my eyes for the Pirates in the past two years.

I would agree with that.

Sure.

But we did see there was really no adjustment period for Skeens, right?

I mean, I know he had some walk issues maybe very early on.
