00:00How confident are you that Evan Carter will be a healthy everyday player this season?
00:20Was this me or Alec who was supposed to answer?
00:22Does it really matter to you?
00:24That's a good point.
00:26I'm going to say if you're looking at 140, no, 100 is what I'm hoping for, okay?
00:35So that's a no then.
00:37His history in the minor leagues says that he's not going to be healthy.
00:42His history in the major leagues says that he's not going to be healthy.
00:45So in that window, I'm saying I don't believe it's going to happen, but he's so young and
00:51has so little time.
00:54Jared was talking about it yesterday with us.
00:56He's had such little time in the minors that you really don't know what he is.
01:00That was a great perspective from Jared.
01:02I have to admit, I hadn't really thought about that before.
01:06When you talk about, hey, you struggled against left-handed hitters and I understand all that
01:10as well.
01:11All right, Alec, Corey's a no.
01:13Do you have confidence in everyday Evan?
01:17I would say at this phase, yes.
01:20I'm going to lean towards that side of he hasn't played a lot just in general like Jared
01:25was saying yesterday.
01:27The fact that he is young, as Corey just said, I think that will bode well for the right
01:32now, which I think this team is capable of winning a lot right now.
01:37Down the road, I once knew a really wise man.
01:40His name was Reginald Atatula, who always said that a trick back don't stop tricking.
01:45And I fully believe that this will probably come back around.
01:50It might not be to a major degree, but it's going to be something that's going to exist.
01:54It's going to be something that he's going to learn how to deal with.
01:56Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't.
01:57I think this year, I think you can bank on it.
02:00A couple years from now, two, three, four years from now, you might see it kind of decline,
02:03decline, decline.
