Herb LawrenceHOST
when, when they hit the, when they hit the San Luis.
Sean AndersonHOST
Tommy Pham's gonna go smack J.J. Weatherholt left field.
Sean AndersonHOST
All right.
Sean AndersonHOST
Uh, that's it for Lawrence.
Cody StavenhagenHOST
Well, I'd said earlier this year that I thought McGonagal could be an, eventually a 25 to 30 homer type guy, or at least that's probably where a, a realistic ceiling sits.
Cody StavenhagenHOST
I think someone had like quote tweeted that, a Cardinals fan, and said, "If McGonagal can hit 25 to 30, JJ Weatherholt will hit 60." Uh, right now McGonagal's got 16 homers.
Cody StavenhagenHOST
Weather- Weatherholt has 17.
Cody StavenhagenHOST
So, uh, look-
Joe OrricoHOST
You get a little bit more of a well-rounded asset right now.
Joe OrricoHOST
When JJ comes back, drop Eldridge.
Joe OrricoHOST
Eldridge has been great.
Joe OrricoHOST
Not a chance.
Joe OrricoHOST
I'm
Casey BubbaHOST
assuming JJ Weatherholt, but no.
Joe OrricoHOST
Yeah, there's got to be somebody else.
Joe OrricoHOST
I mean,
Taylor StreiffGUEST
And so those are the two guys that you really have to look out for.
Taylor StreiffGUEST
You don't have to deal with J.J. J.J. Weatherholt, who's like

–
Taylor StreiffGUEST
everyone was saying was going to be rookie of the year.
Taylor StreiffGUEST
Burley also hit a very huge three-run homer in the opening day game.
Taylor StreiffGUEST
And it's just been – like I said, it's been a really fun team to watch.
Taylor StreiffGUEST
But, you know, J.J. Weatherholt, unfortunately, will not be – in the lineup for probably the rest of the season.
Taylor StreiffGUEST
And so he's probably going to also lose the rookie of the year vote to, I think it's Sal Stewart, Cincinnati.
SudsHOST
McGreevy.
SchwabbyHOST
Weatherholt is currently on the IL.
SchwabbyHOST
That's good.
SchwabbyHOST
Yeah, so it's Burleson and Walker are the two big bats in the lineup.
Aram LeightonHOST
And that's kind of what ends up happening at the big leagues.
Aram LeightonHOST
Anyways, if you develop yourself into being close to an average defender at shortstop, there's somebody better than you like JJ Weatherholt.
Aram LeightonHOST
If you're starting from scratch, could go play shortstop and, and be, and be fine there.
Aram LeightonHOST
But you have Mason Wynn over there, right? So you now have a really good second baseman instead.
43 MINS LATER
Aram LeightonHOST
He also has this really good April slash March beginning of the season where he's a 943 OPS.
Aram LeightonHOST
Everyone's like, holy crap.
Aram LeightonHOST
here he is like this is gonna be the rookie of the year and then may june 7 11 ops 758 people are like ah maybe he's just like a fine power hitter so overreact the other way and then we get a really good july and a great august and i don't think that the market has fully reacted back towards the other way here and i think they probably will uh sooner rather than later because he is the rookie of the year with with jj weatherholt unfortunately going down um for me i I have a bunch of Sal.
Aram LeightonHOST
I want to keep some, he's a Miami kid.
Brandon KileyHOST
But.
Brandon KileyHOST
just the overall process and approach is something that I trust in the same way that we saw the first 10, 15 games of JJ Weatherholt.
Brandon KileyHOST
And we could pinpoint and say, yeah, that guy's good.
Brandon KileyHOST
What's the ceiling? I don't know.
53 MINS LATER
Brandon KileyHOST
For him to be back into the lineup and that to happen, it feels weird when they have been so cautious.
Brandon KileyHOST
Some would say overly cautious on the pitching side of things.
Brandon KileyHOST
And it goes back to the JJ Weatherholt thing too, where he played through the wrist thing.
Brandon KileyHOST
Now, if a player tells you he's good, you kind of have to go with it, especially if you're seeing the medical updates and they say, hey, there's not really a way for him to get worse.
ChrisHOST
Yes, it was.
ChrisHOST
So it was Buzana, Burns, Chase Burns, Charlie Condon, Nick Kurtz, Hagen Smith, who's a big prospect, Caglione, Weatherholt, Connor Griffin.
ChrisHOST
That's a loaded.
SteveHOST
Yeah.
SteveHOST
Honestly, any of those picks, like, The funny thing with, like, baseball- But honestly, it's Bazana, Burns, Condon, and Kurtz were, like, the only legitimate thoughts at one.
SteveHOST
Maybe J.J. Weatherholt at one point in time, but he struggled.
SteveHOST
You know, Caglione, Connor Griffin was not a number one overall prospect.
SteveHOST
Let's be realistic here, too.
Brandon KileyHOST
But.
Brandon KileyHOST
just the overall process and approach is something that I trust in the same way that we saw the first 10, 15 games of JJ Weatherholt.
Brandon KileyHOST
And we could pinpoint and say, yeah, that guy's good.
