We'll go first there with your Toronto Blue Jays.

0:55.7

Lots going on change wise there. Let's start off in the bullpen ymi garcia after some speculation for 24 hours did indeed go on

1:01.1

the iL yesterday yeah it looks like i know you and scott were talking about nate pearson but it looks

1:07.2

like maybe chad green leads the yes what i think but i honestly think it's a closer committee. I think this one's a true closer committee. I think Jimmy Garcia was the... was for sure the best, Blue Jay's best reliever this year. So he was the guy with Romano out. But now I think it'll just... I think it'll be a full committee. I think it could be an A Pearson, but I don't think it'll be a guy.

1:30.2

I, you know, it could be a lefty when they need a lefty.

1:32.6

It could be Genesis Cabrera or something like that when they need a lefty, but I don't, I don't,

1:37.5

Chad Green hasn't pitched well enough at the start of the year.

1:39.7

I actually have Chad Green in the Towers draft and Hold thinking of this exact moment. Actually,

1:44.6

I thought he maybe could have been the J's second best reliever this year. He has been really good. 176 ERA.8.85 whip. I don't know. He just doesn't feel.

2:01.5

When I heard you and Scott talking, I wanted to like shout through, but it was too late.

2:04.6

It was Monday morning.

2:05.6

I want to shout through my podcast and be like, no, Jeff.

2:09.2

Nate Pearson only got that other save because Chad Green had already pitched in the game.

2:13.6

Yeah.

2:13.8

And I actually knew that too.

2:15.3

But I think I just kept seeing green pitch in the 6th and 7th innings, and I thought that maybe they'd be comfortable with that. Plus, I think in some cases, green wasn't even available in some leagues, some of my deeper leagues. I should maybe give Green a little more, I don't know.
