00:00why don't we talk about ben rice a little bit you always want to see somebody who is still a
00:05relatively young player add good on good and i think the question about his offense was always
00:10rather minimal that he'd hit and he's hit the ball very very hard early this season he's just
00:16looked much better at first base i don't think uh anybody should clear room on his shelf for a gold
00:22glove but the question is can he be major league average or better and this is a guy who is
00:28a
00:28worker that's how he got himself drafted that's how he got himself through the yankee organization
00:33into the majors and began to make some impact and now it looks like he's put in the work at
00:39first
00:39base to be much much more competent there than he looked last season when it was a relatively new
00:46position for him think about the advantages if he doesn't have to be defended for late in the game
00:52by paul goldschmidt it's an extra at-bats as the season goes along
00:55long
00:56long
