00:00I would say June, I give I the way I think and the way they I believe that they handle
00:05athletes nowadays, completely different from when I played.
00:08It was like, get back out there as soon as you possibly can.
00:11I would think I would think June and maybe I'm and if I'm wrong, that's that's a good I guess
00:16it's a good sign for Gary Cole may not be a good sign for the Yankees.
00:19But I would think I would think June would be his first start.
00:22Yeah, you're not worried about the physical aspect of it.
00:25You talked more about the mental aspect of it.
00:26But I'm not worried about his mental aspect of it because he's always been someone who has been rock solid
00:31and had that mentality.
00:33And that's something that he's always going to have regardless of what his body is doing.
00:37But I am worried about the physical part of it because it's how grueling it is.
00:41And he's in his mid 30s now.
00:42And you're talking about, you know, the the violence in which these guys throw and how much they do and
00:48getting through a season and shaking off the rust and all of those things.
00:51So if anybody could do it, it'll be him.
00:53I mean, he's got the best doctors.
00:55He had the best surgeon.
00:56He knows exactly what he's doing.
00:58He knows his body.
00:59He's a Cy Young Award winner.
01:01So if there's anybody that's going to bounce back and be great from this injury, again, we've seen it before,
01:05you know, with younger guys more often than older guys.
01:08But I feel pretty good about him bouncing back and being great.
01:12And then you don't really need, you know, as Aaron Boone was talking about, a fifth starter until, you know,
01:19mid-April sometime.
01:20So the four guys that you're going to be seeing are going to be trotted out there, you know, every
01:25fifth day.
01:25Freed, Schlittler, Warren, and Weathers.
01:28That's what you're going to see for, you know, those four guys.
01:32And at the top of that rotation's got all the potential in the world.
01:36Right.
01:36And then hopefully those four guys make it through and everything's fine.
01:41And then all of a sudden you have, you know, the reinforcements coming behind them.
01:45And then that's when maybe the Yankee season takes off.
