It's time to look ahead to the pitchers we want to add this week off the waiver wire in Welsh. If there's one thing I know, you can never have enough starting pitching. We've already had a couple guys go out for the year already, and we're only in week two of the first couple weeks here of Major League Baseball. So it's never ending, but luckily we're here to help everybody find some arms. So Welsh, when you're looking around the waiver wire and combing around, what's the first name to Popsia this week that you want to add from the mound?

1:37.4

He's been absolutely dominant.

1:39.3

You know, and I talked about this a little bit at the back half of spring training.
