00:00Josh Young and Evan Carter are healthy.
00:19They're ready to roll.
00:22What are reasonable expectations for both of them though, because look, like at FanFest
00:32on Saturday, Josh Young talked about, hey, he's gotten injured several years in a row
00:39because it came up that he'd gotten injured two years in a row and he said four years
00:42in a row and, oh yeah, yeah.
00:45And so he said four years in a row, five surgeries, somebody joked, okay, but who's counting?
00:52And he said me.
00:53And so like very serious about it.
00:58We talked about Evan Carter had had what we were all really concerned about with his back
01:04specifically and maybe some with his neck last year, but now they're both ready to go
01:10as of now.
01:11But I don't think you can go into this season and reasonably say Evan Carter and Josh Young
01:17will both play like 145 games.
01:20Like if you disagree, rock on.
01:22I hope you are.
01:23I even say a hundred.
01:24Yeah.
01:25So where do you fall in terms of reasonable expectations for what these two can provide,
01:32both in terms of availability and what they do?
01:34Yeah.
01:35The thing with Josh Young is it seems like everything's this freak accident.
01:38It seems like everything is some weird, like how did that happen to you?
01:42And he's like, I don't know.
01:44That's how it feels with Josh Young.
01:46Kevin, last year he kind of picked up where he left off the previous season.
01:51He was batting the previous year, 266.
01:53He was batting 264 last year, early in the season, seven home runs.
01:56He'd finished the year before 23, seven home runs through 46 games.
02:01He was on trajectory to have 30 something home runs.
02:04Is that about right?
02:05Yeah.
02:06And then, so as I'm looking at him, he was picking up, he was fine.
02:10His season was going to be good.
02:13The weird health moment happened.
02:15So if he was able to get to 140, 130, that's a celebration.
