We'll get back to the draft calls in just a second.

888, 808, 101.

0:03.7

This is exactly what I was telling you.

0:05.3

Like, everybody, oh, Devin Williams, oh, it's the best thing ever.

0:07.3

He's the best thing.

0:08.1

Closers are so volatile.

0:09.3

With that being said, I don't think he's toast.

0:11.6

I'd be curious to get your take because we texted a little bit about this, but we didn think that this is how bullpens are. They're so fickle and volatile year to year.
