00:00One thing I don't remember in my life, Joe, is my call up to the major leagues here to get
00:04my
00:04first start and have some fun. It wasn't in hockey, it wasn't in football, it wasn't in basketball,
00:08but the Pittsburgh Pirates are bringing up one of the best young prospects in Major League Baseball
00:13today on a Friday. Connor Griffin expected to be called up by the Pirates ahead of their home
00:18opener on Friday. That's how you do it here. The interesting part was though, Joe, I think they
00:23were waiting to bring him up because they wanted him to sign one of those team-friendly, we're
00:26going to buy out your arbitration years. If you get really good, it's a bargain. If not,
00:30it won't hurt us that bad. They weren't able to come to an agreement there, but he is up here
00:33and ready to go. Yeah, and I know a lot of people, again, Donnie, were waiting, hoping that he would
00:40have started anyway the season up on the roster here, but listen, we're a week in and this is
00:45what, for some reason, teams do. It's kind of the stupidest thing that we see year after year,
00:51but I mean, listen, he does strike out a lot, but it looks like if he's not striking out,
00:56he is absolutely mashing the ball. It's a market worth keeping a look at, Donnie. We'll talk more
01:02about it on PME, but I'm telling you, this kid at this price, there's some decent rookie of the
01:09years, but I don't know that anybody's got the kind of power that this kid does, and if they're
01:14going to keep him up and play him, he's certainly going to get a lot of eyeballs because of somebody
01:20who pitches on that team, let's just say that.
