So how do you start your process then of, of picking where and when you're gonna be going?

Well, for me, this starts, like, probably 11 months in advance.

So when we come out of our May trip, like this year, we will be discussing May of next year.

For us right now, we're in our exploratory phase.

We're not really going back so much, like we will, right, to certain areas that are really, really good.

But most of our trips are all new.

Like, we wanna see every inch of the park.

When you always get home, you always think, "Yeah, it was still worth it," but there's sometimes you gotta feel, was it worth it? Like, what are some of the bad experiences that you've had there or things you've had to overcome on some of these trips?

Where, where would this guy slot into their rotation, number two guy?

Right now, yeah, probably behind Hunter Brown, or I'll say three behind Brown and then Christian Javier.

But if you're a Mariners fan potentially worrying about this, I would say this, the deal's three years, 54 million, but it's one of these classic Scott Boras deals where there's an opt out after every year.

So either Imai's really good, you deal with him for one year and he's gonna leave, or he's just not that impactful.

So one way or another.

How would he compare? So he's not in the same mold as some of the most recent guys we've seen come from Japan?

I mean, he's got good stuff.

He's got a chance to be good.

Yeah.

Yeah, he looked good.

There will be things he builds on as time goes on, but like the fact he basically kitchen sinked the Marlins the whole start, he threw six, six different pitches at them and kept them off balance for the majority of the day and didn't get hit hard.

Yeah, it was a good start.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

And to Brock's quick reference here of what he means with that '23 draft, Emerson, Formello, Pete, Williamson, Logan Evans, Brandon Garcia.

That's that draft right now.
