00:00definitely kind of flying under the radar, had a good rookie, he's getting rookie of the year votes a year ago,
00:04and it's almost like we didn't anticipate, what if he gets better?
00:08Like we almost thought, well if you get the same from William Abreu, why?
00:11Like I don't know why we were thinking that, I don't think we were alone, like in a lot of the season previews,
00:16it's just kind of like, tossed in there, there's so much attention on Bregman,
00:20and you know, Devers willingness to be the DH, shortstop, second base,
00:27nothing about William Abreu, and in fact,
00:29isn't there maybe a chance, if everybody is so dead set on Roman Anthony at some point,
00:34let's say he rips the cover off it down here, and you're like, alright, he's a top prospect in baseball,
00:38we can't hold him back, I don't know, could you see an outfield of Duran, Anthony, and Abreu,
00:44and then Sadon Rafaela, ends up being sort of your floater, he ends up playing a backup to everybody.
00:49You know, I think, between he and Hamilton, that's a pretty versatile bench.
00:53So that might almost be a more likely path for Roman Anthony, than just for like,
00:57William Abreu to fall apart.
00:59You know, because he could be solid, and I know he's not going to hit two home runs every game,
01:02but he could end up being solid, he's good defensively,
01:05although all those guys in the outfield are good defensively.
01:09But, yeah, no, that was a reminder that we're really high on this team, we like this team,
01:13and one of the guys we didn't even mention, is all of the offense yesterday.
01:18But that also is like a good sign, like so,
01:20we'll get to some of the stuff that wasn't great, like the middle of the lineup and everything, but
01:25Garrett Crochet doesn't have his best game, the middle of the lineup goes 0-4,
01:29and they beat the Rangers.
01:30Like, that to me is a really good sign, because there's going to be plenty of games where
01:34Devers and Bregman both hit homers, there's going to be games where Crochet goes 6 or 7,
01:38punches out 8 or 9, and you know, you certainly expect to win those games,
01:42it's the other games, which is what we saw yesterday.
