00:00For me at number four, I'm going with another newcomer here.
00:03That's Bo Bichette.
00:04Nice.
00:05Another good one.
00:06Look, like Bichette, I've always liked him as a player,
00:10but we can talk about the elephant in the room.
00:12The elephant in the room here is, how's he going to play at third base?
00:15Now, I'm not as concerned about this,
00:19and I've been talking about this with one of our producers here.
00:22It's like, okay, look, many shortstops have made the move from short to third.
00:26We have seen this tons of times in baseball.
00:29I think it'll be fine with reps, right?
00:31I think we're going to have to see with reps.
00:33Now, does it need to be looking right?
00:37Yes, because the Mets have talked about run prevention.
00:39We've heard that all.
00:40At the end of last season, David Stern said that.
00:43We were not good at run prevention.
00:44It can't be a mess.
00:46But I think Bichette's going to figure it out.
00:48Do I think there'll be some growing pains, Wardy?
00:50Absolutely.
00:50Do I think there'll be a time or two in the game he airmails the throw?
00:54Sure, it'll happen.
00:55But I think this guy's committed with reps.
00:57And when I asked him that at his press conference and I asked him about that,
01:00he was like, no, look, I'm confident in being able to do this.
01:02I'm going to put in the work.
01:04He went down early.
01:05He was working with Carlos Mendoza.
01:06I think this is a guy that wants to put in the work.
01:08But what excites me the most about him is, one, I think he'll figure that out.
01:11It's the bat.
