Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Tuesday, March 11th.

Derek Rine-Berner-Eanor-Seres here with you. On this episode, we dig into some more spring news and notes.

Surprise, surprise, more injuries, including an update on the path forward for Garrett Cole.

We have Eno on the scene in surprise where I think there were birds before we started recording.

So we'll probably get some birds chirping in the background.

I think that's always the best part of the spring Eno experience is each spring training environment does create some different background noise for the podcast.

Surprise, from surprise, tons of birds.

It's very nice.

In fact, as I was walking in here, I was like, you know,

it wouldn't be such a bad sort of semi-retirement job to be groundskeeper in Arizona.

Yeah, groundskeeper in Arizona or PA for fall league and spring training. That'd be a great

gig. I'd love to do PA out there. Specifically with the groundskeeping, you're here

when the weather's at best in the

mornings and the evenings, you know, mostly hopefully you can stay out of the sun during the right

day. I did my run yesterday and the only time I could do it was at three o'clock and man,

it was hot. Well, I applaud you for sticking to your workout plan on the road in those conditions but yeah that probably was all of this is not easy i'm in a tv room or i'm in a radio room or tomorrow i may be leaned up against a fence, you know, roasting in the sun.

It's every day I come to the park and I get, I'm like, I need these three players and I need

some place to be alone.

If you're there early enough, which you are, I think it just barely fits into a neat part

of the schedule.
