You missed anything Odyssey.com. Rewind. We roll along on a beautiful Thursday.

G gotta talk a little baseball with you. And obviously holiday week people getting back to town

various days. Scott Harris spoke the other day. Now I didn't speak with local media. Not the

beat writers, not the flagship station, but MLB network. All right, separate

conversation for a separate day. I don't understand that. But whatever. The point is Scott Harris said a few things that were interesting, including one saying, finally copping to it this is a developmental year and we have to develop

the core before we can start to spend an increased payroll in the coming winters and

it got me thinking about something. And I know the way I phrase this, it's going to

dictate where the topic goes. But let me do it like this. Who's going to be

here in three years when you believe you're competing for a world series?

Who is this core he speaks of?

Like as an example, I personally don't believe you can list Spencer Torkelson as a part of the core.

I just don't think you can.

The non-debatable parts of the core.

Who is it?

Now if you want to say scuba, there will be no argument.

That's a Cy Young caliber in his prime left-handed arm. get a couple years of team controlled now again

well see that was my question are we just talking everyday players no in some

total okay who's the core because as we sit here a third of the way through the season this year, a really frustrating year,

I'm not sure I know who the hell he's talking about. Now if you want to say Cole Keats a part of the core because you paid him

well that's fine performance-wise leaves a lot to be desired oh but he's heating up

yes he is and it's not like he broke the bank with No, it's three and a half million dollars a year.

Yeah. I mean, you spend it on sunflower seeds.
