What's going on everybody? It is the talking yanks PPP's pregame. Whatever you want to call it, it's called the player profile and projections.

It's not the pregame doing too many things at once. If you're not used to this, we have done it for the last two seasons.

As soon as pictures and catchers report, we go to an episode a day every day until opening day. It's a lot of fun, quick hitters and they're on each individual player.

So it's exciting. And today's star is Garrett Allen Cole on December 16th of 2019 Garrett Cole signed a $324 million contract for the Yankees. The largest contract in major league history for a picture. Did you know that Jake?

Hey everyone, I'm Jake. Welcome to the PPP's and we are. Garrett Cole, I did know that Jim. We were together when that was announced actually. And yeah, we, if you are new to the PPP's welcome, you're going to get a weird mix of stats, silliness and projections.

Need another S word out of you. But yeah, man, I'm excited. We roll it literally every day up until they roll the ball up there. There's a tagline or something.

Roll and roll and roll and roll and start out with the bank. The big bang of the off season.

GAC, GAC Garrett Allen Cole, he's a pitcher. You're going to have to fill fill in the blanks for me.

Yeah, the thing about Cole is Jake, he wasn't on the Yankees last season. Where was he? He was with the Houston Astros, a familiar.

You hear that bang in the background. Wow, Joe's right away. I'm going to trash can someone sleeping with my wife.

Yes, and yes. Okay. Same guy doing it simultaneously.

Yeah, it's brutal. Yeah, we did start with the bang. Man, Garrett Cole. Did you know he's from Newport Beach, California, Jake?

I know he's a Californian. Yeah, you know, he's got a kind of like a crazy voice.

He's got an interesting voice, interesting voice. Interesting. I have a question for you about Eric.

Cole, and I don't know if we're getting too deep into the weeds. Did you know that he's in the 96% tile for fastball spin?

I do that.

Then you know, he's in the 97th percentile for fastball velocity.

That's these are things I do know. Yeah, he's, he's really good.

It's kind of been a fun off season for baseball in general. We got Houston stuff.

Cole to the Yankees. We had a big free agency. A lot of guys signed.

And yeah, I don't know. I feel like since Cole signed and he was our only move this off season.

Really? It's felt like a quiet Yankee off season, but we forget that we might have acquired the best pitcher in baseball.
