00:00How are you feeling?

00:01We saw you were pitching obviously off the mound.

00:03That's a progress.

00:04Yeah, I'm feeling really good.

00:05Progress has been steady Eddie and it's not much to it.

00:11What is like the off season look like for you and what do you kind of anticipate

00:15your timeline?

00:16Like are you going to be ready by the start of season?

00:18Maybe not.

00:18Like where are you at?

00:19Yeah, I'm ramping up this phase, the initial phase of the rehab,

00:23coming to a close here within the next month or so.

00:28And after that, we'll kind of have a sit down and figure out what that means

00:32for next season.

00:33Okay, so maybe not to start the season?

00:36Yeah, likely I think they mentioned that opening day is probably out of the

00:39picture and that seems to make the most sense at this point.

00:44But when afterwards, I'm not exactly sure.

00:48Hopefully as soon as possible.

00:49And then just one more question.

00:50The importance of having Bellinger come back, can you talk about that?

00:55Well, yeah, do you know something I don't?

00:59Is he coming back?

01:00I don't know.

01:01Oh, you don't know.

01:01That's why I'm asking the importance of like, you know.

01:03Of what he was to us, yes.

01:05Yes, yes.

01:06I mean, Cody's outstanding.

01:07He's come back, right?

01:08I mean, in my career, like, in my career, I've never come across another player

01:12like Cody.

01:13I mean, two other players come to mind.

01:16I think of Josh Harrison and I think of Sean Rodriguez back when I was on the

01:20Pirates.

01:20Both players that I thought could play at least three major league positions at

01:25above average defense.

01:26Cody fits that bill and then also has like a career OPS of 850, which is just

01:31in another league.

01:31So, fantastic player all around, fantastic clubhouse guy, great family man.
