00:00First base, please, sir.
00:03Not at the moment.
00:04We are kind of at the last stages of finalizing our roster.
00:07So once we have kind of told everybody,
00:11maybe in the next day or two, but we'll let you know.
00:15But, I mean, Frazier's playing first base tonight.
00:17What do we make of that?
00:19Yeah, I think as far as, you know,
00:21the Goosey Bird, I guess, competition,
00:23I can't give you just yet,
00:26but as far as who's going to play first base,
00:28yeah, Frazier's playing tonight.
00:31We'll probably, in the beginning of the year,
00:33see the bulk of the playing time there,
00:36and then we'll kind of go from there.
00:38But I got Kyner.
00:39What's your feeling on why you're going to go
00:42without a ranked man?
00:45Basically because Kyner's kind of earned a spot.
00:48That's kind of where we're at.
00:51If, you know, Kyner wasn't,
00:53if I didn't feel so good about Kyner,
00:54then obviously Frazier would probably be playing third
00:56and we'd be mixing guys around.
00:58But right now I want to give Kyner the opportunity
01:01and moving Frazier over,
01:02I want his bat and lap as well.
01:04So both those guys should be in there.
01:08Okay, thank you, sir.
