00:00when they started going over the names and Devers is sort of a separate case because Devers can
00:05really hit as we know but his reputation was tainted at the end on the way out the door
00:12are Eduardo Rodriguez and Brian Bale the guys you want Marcelo Meyer lumped with
00:18you see what I'm getting at meaning he's a different caliber player meaning if Cora picks
00:23on guys they were going through guys that Cora has picked those two are uh right uh they're uh
00:30sandpaper uh their mental toughness exactly right is questionable right there's a there's a character
00:37flaw with those guys and they never really lived up to their full potential because of it so if
00:44Cora sees Marcelo Meyer the same way he sees Eduardo Rodriguez and Brian Bale scary then trade him what
00:52are you doing if that's what it is if that's what you think he is that he doesn't have the
00:58mental
00:59discipline and the makeup to really commit to his talent and he's going to be an underachiever because
01:05that's what those guys have been again Devers is sort of a different animal but if they look at
01:10Meyer that way what the hell is he doing here they should have moved him already they should have had
01:14Marte in here to play second base and that would have been the end of it and I do wonder
01:18now whether
01:19they've had some sort of disagreement internally on how to handle Meyer meaning Cora doesn't like him
01:25they you know ownership and management does because he's young and he's cheap and he was picked number
01:30four in the draft so I you know I'm eager to see how it plays out I mean Meyer would
01:37have to really
01:38suck based on the way Maloney put it yes he'd have to really suck to not be on the team
01:43no those guys
01:44Karen and Maloney think he's on the team yes yeah Cora is just motivating him yes which is fine
01:49I'll accept that uh if that's what's going on if it's something more than that it's kind of
01:53aggravating because it's a perfect chance to have Marcelo Meyer breaking with the big club and play
01:58a role on the team and work his way up and learn how to hit lefties and learn how to
02:01cover the outside
02:02of the plate and all that stuff totally so my guess is he's gonna end up they're gonna end up
02:06having
02:06a platoon at second base I don't think his numbers against righties are as bad or his performance
02:12against righties is as bad as Cora laid it out I looked it up today hit 261 against righties last
02:18year on breaking balls breaking balls so one of the things they say about uh uh Meyer is that he
02:25can't hit breaking balls and off-speed pitches it really has more to do with off-speed stuff that
02:30moves away from him if it moves in toward him he's okay at least the numbers are okay but I
02:36mean it's
02:37all stuff worth watching uh you know here in camp I I just he would have to really blow it
02:43to not be
02:43on this team
