What is happening?

Welcome to another episode of The Craft.

My name is Nick Pollacken.

Oh, my gosh.

The window is open because the breeze is coming.

The nice, lovely sunshine is just trying to escape through the clouds.

A spring training is coming near.

And who is the person that I need to talk to about just what's going on? It's Enosaris.

Who could to be? Who good to be? You know, I found it very difficult to be in New York City

in March watching spring training because in my head from growing up in the South, I thought

March is spring. But in New York City, March is not

spring. It is not. No. I really do feel like also these days, there is no spring. Yeah, it just kind of

jumps into summer. Winter in summer. I've just clamped and demanded more time. Yes, today we're going to talk

about spring training because it starts on Friday. We're recording this on Wednesday, February

18th, and oh my God, I can't believe we're already here. You're wondering, Nick, where are your

rankings? Don't worry. By the time you're listening to this, I believe they should be out,

finally. And it's a lot, of course. But we're not going to talk about that today. We're going to talk about the things that we're excited to see in spring training among teams. And that really goes into a couple buckets of one, who's in the rotation? Like, who's going to win this battle? Who are guys that we want to win the battle? Who are guys that we're not really interested to win the battle? To who are the young arms that might get us really excited and stand out and actually be someone that we know a lot about? We've already seen videos of Carlos Lahonre. I know, no, the Legrant.

I know it's Legrange, but it's Grahany. Granhe. Like that. It's closer than Lagrange. It's not Zizi Top. Okay, even though I did put that Zizi Top song over. That's I put it underneath the thing, my video of him because I couldn't resist it. And, but right, things like that. Like, I didn't know about him until like two weeks ago.

And, of course, also getting first looks of certain pitchers like the guys from the KBO or NPP coming in and seeing how they adapt with some new pitches, maybe also being added in,

all these little extra elements elements.

But really, at the end of the day, who in the rotation are they healthy is there anything new with velocity right and so

we're going to go through very quickly we're a speed run this episode aren't we you know right we're going
