Barger's not here.

They're not going to be back anytime soon, Kirk in particular.

Springer and Vlade, though, are the obvious choices when you look at them and say, okay, you've got to get going because you're capable of doing that.

Do you have a third name in the lineup that's healthy and playing that you think can be a part of this as a catalyst to get things going?

Yeah, I agree with you, though.

It is Springer and Vlade.

I mean, listen, Vlade, you're a $500 million man.

And, you know, he stepped up as a leader.

Like, he played out of his mind in the postseason last year, accepting that mantle that he was the guy.

You know, Springer's always been a big game player, that sort of thing.

But he was the guy that led last year.

But remember, there were so many times last year where the complementary players were the ones that were producing, and it pulled the stars along with them until the stars got going.

So Ernie Clement was a guy that, you know, was so good during the season.

Barger during the season.

You know, when Varshow came back last year, he was a bit of a spark plug too.

The power bat was there for him.

So, you know, it's so hard to rely.

I mean, David Schneider's not the guy.

You know, Andres Jimenez isn't the guy.

And so it really is Vladdy and Springer.
