00:00Jackson Merrill has been great for a playoff team and clutch moments pretty much the entire

00:10second half of the year. If I'm a voter, that has to mean something. Paul skins is going

00:17to be a superstar. There's no doubt about that. He's an electric pitcher who's effective

00:23once every five days. We're watching Jackson Merrill go out there and be effective night

00:31after night after night. That's got to be worth something. Now, he may not have received

00:38all the you know, the preseason pub or you know, we didn't see him coming. So I guess

00:45it doesn't feel the same. But the effect of what he's done has absolutely been felt in

00:51this organization in this roster and in his fan base. And I think because they didn't

00:55predict him coming like they did Paul skeins. He's not getting the same credit that Paul

01:00skeins is getting. Cause if they told you from day one, Jackson Merrill is the number

01:03one prospect and Jackson Merrill is going to do this and Jackson Merrill is going to

01:06do that. There'll be no doubt. He's rookie of the year, but because they didn't and he

01:12came out of nowhere previously, that's why we don't hear to talk about him like this.
