is Pete Alonso.
He's a guy who, as Scott Boris will crow about, no longer has the qualifying offer.
It's just like Scott Boris loves when guys lose the qualifying offer, right?
So Pete Alonso is heading in the market.
He's really an interesting one because –
Okay, you could just pigeonhole him as this guy, big slugging corner infielder.
What's that worth?
But he's also a guy that plays 162, which I think is a dramatically underrated stat.
And good clubhouse guy, so maybe for teams looking for good clubhouse guys, can hit home runs, which if we're going off the postseason, that's really, really important to hit home runs.
So for your perspective, and I know that you have it on in your column, sort of a chart of what you projected Pete Alonzo over the years, which is sort of all over the place.
So how do you look at him right now?
Do you feel when you're doing these projections, when you get a chance to see a guy as much as you saw Alonzo, Diaz, these guys, does that sway you at all?
I know that's sort of a big...
big-picture question.
Maybe it's not an easy answer.
You like to say, well, no, the numbers are the numbers.
It is what it is.
But still, sometimes you look at the numbers and we have friends in the business like, ah, man, that guy stinks.
No, that guy is awesome.
Look at the intangibles.
