00:00What Seattle's trying to do here, George, is inject the player who's had a great postseason run with the Rays. Do you think it will work?
00:11I don't think this is enough. Let's start there, okay? I think there are a couple of bats short here.
00:17Now, remember, the news on Julio Rodriguez keeps getting worse, right? After he hurt the ankle in that play against the fans.
00:24First, it was going to be, oh, he'll be out a couple of days. Oh, then he's on the IL.
00:27Oh, then now he's not coming back immediately when eligible from the IL. What does that mean?
00:31Has he gone all of August here? Is that all that Rosarito is really doing is replacing Julio Rodriguez?
00:36They needed at least one bat, I thought two bats, in addition to Julio Rodriguez figuring out how to play baseball again this year.
00:43So I don't think this changes all that much. It makes them better, sure.
00:46I don't really care what Rosarito's stats are, by the way, and I know he's batting 211, 215.
00:51I only care what we think he's going to do for the rest of the year.
00:54And over his last, what, 15, 20 games, he has been batting a more respectable, I think it was a 284 or something like that.
01:00So he is playing better. How he's going to do in Seattle, anyone's guess.
01:03It's one of the better pitches ballparks in the American League, if not all of baseball there.
01:07So I don't expect all world numbers here. I think this is a start for Seattle.
01:11But if this is what all they're going to do, they're only going to acquire Rosarito.
01:15I know they got Yemi Garcia as well from Toronto.
01:17If that's all they're going to do and hope that Julio Rodriguez comes back, let's say, mid-August and starts to play like Julio Rodriguez,
01:23it's not going to be enough to win that division.
