my final hour felger maz on a gender free friday driven by the bernardy auto group

murray and maz back in our town fair tire studios i'm on the remote a hole location we're

brought you by draft kings on both the radio and the simulcast side.

I'm going to go right to the phones, Mads, unless you wanted to lead off this hour with a fresh thought. Nope. Okay, let's go right back to it. Here's Sam in New Hampshire with a Red Sox thought here on Agenda Free Friday, and I'm jammed. Jimmy, wouldn't you know it? Would you pop up line six here? Sam in New Hampshire.

Go ahead.

You're up next.

Hey, Belger.

How are you doing?

Good, man.

Hey, so I want to talk about Jason Groom. I mean, if this season's going to be as much of a bomb shower as has been, why don't we have Jason Groom throw a couple of innings this year? Well, so look, Sam, I'm, you know, I'm with you. I'd like to see some of the guys come out of these camps, and that's where Guam is.

He's on their pool of players.

He was there from the very beginning, meaning that, you know, the players they can pick

from them to play in the big league games.

But early on, there was indication they weren't going to necessarily elevate him.

They're just trying to get him back to a point where he can pitch next year.

Right?

He's coming off of Tommy John and what have you.

There's other guys that they're going to do that with, but I'd be inclined to see these guys play. I would. So let me ask you, man. It's all about developing the young guys right now and getting them in place for the next couple of years. do you believe they have to be in the big leagues to do that?

I mean, this is sort of like the quarterback thing we talked about with Stidim.

Does he have to play to develop?

And in some way, can you set a guy back?
