00:00All right, so a good news for the Dodgers,

00:02as if they really needed any more good news.

00:04Shohei Otani back on the mound, throwing his first bullpen

00:07of spring training.

00:09This is as close, Matt, to a super team

00:11as we have seen in a long time.

00:12I know that the Yankees won a bunch of World Series in 96

00:16and 98, and they sort of had that dynasty

00:18there for a while.

00:19But the Dodgers are really in a position

00:22not just to be happy to make the postseason,

00:25but anything less than winning the World Series.

00:27I mean, that's super high expectations.

00:30Yeah, it's probably an interesting feeling

00:33for the fans, right?

00:34Because it's all or nothing.

00:36You've got to win, but certainly I

00:37think most fan bases would trade places with them

00:40right now, knowing they're going into the season with the ability

00:43to root for this team.

00:44And they're loaded, top to bottom, the pitching staff,

00:48the rotation.

00:50They always deal with injuries, but they have enough depth

00:53that they should be able to survive it.

00:55Obviously, they have a great lineup.

00:57They have the best player in the world.

00:59There's really no holes in the team.

01:02I mean, obviously, again, you can point to injuries.

01:05You can point to potential attrition.

01:06And how is that going to weaken them?

01:08And are they going to be vulnerable in that regard?

01:12But overall, given their depth, given their resources,

01:15and given their talent level, they're

01:18clearly the class of the division, of the NL,

01:21I would say of the entire league.

01:22And the only drawback to that is if you're

01:25a better looking to get in on some action for them,

01:28there's simply no value.

01:29I mean, you've got to get real creative to find value

01:32with anything betting on the Dodgers,

01:34because otherwise it's priced in.

01:38Their talent is priced in all their lines.

01:40I'll put it that way.
