00:00Here's one player the Dodgers are really going to need to be up

00:02while Teoscar Hernandez is down.

00:04That's Andy Paz, who hit two home runs this past week.

00:07Five home runs, stole a couple of bases, and also hit 292.

00:11George, they've been waiting on Paz to, you know,

00:14certainly hold his own in the big leagues.

00:16Sort of happened a little bit last year.

00:18It's happening this year.

00:18They've also called up Dalton Rushing.

00:20We saw that.

00:21Dodgers, no strangers to the prospect game.

00:24And it's one of those cases where we use that old cliche,

00:27the rich get richer.

00:28It always seems like L.A. has somebody waiting in the wings to start and play.

00:32And so far, so good for Paz.

00:35Yeah, you're sort of hinting there.

00:37It's almost unfair, right?

00:38The Dodgers have such a good minor league system, right?

00:41They bring up players, and they develop very well here in pitching.

00:44Pitching is where they always are good at.

00:46Now they're developing outfields.

00:47You mentioned rushing, by the way.

00:48Who, if you're a Will Smith person, by the way,

00:51probably driving you a little crazy.

00:52They called up their number one prospect, who's a catcher,

00:56who really has no other place to play.

00:58Not like he's playing D.H.

00:59That's Otani.

01:00He's not going to be first base over Freeman.

01:02I mean, I found that weird, Craig.

01:03They would call him up a catcher.

01:05You want a catcher to play every day.

01:06You never want a prospect.

01:07And Will Smith's having a good year.

01:09Paz has been great as well here.

01:10Now we are hearing that Teoscar Hernandez is starting to ramp up baseball

01:13activities.

01:14So we'll see how this is going to play out in a week, 10 days maybe,

01:18once Hernandez is back.

01:20But for now, yeah, you're starting, Paz.

01:21Although, I admit, last night, he did no good night last night.

01:24I think he bounced into a couple of double plays there in that loss to the

01:27details.

01:27So,

01:28you're going to be right back.

01:28I think he's going to be right back.

01:29I think he's going to be right back.

01:30I think he's going to be right back.

01:31I think he's going to be right back.

01:32I think he's going to be right back.

01:33I think he's going to be right back.

01:34I think he's going to be right back.

01:35I think he's going to be right back.

01:36I think he's going to be right back.

01:37I think he's going to be right back.

01:38I think he's going to be right back.

01:39I think he's going to be right back.
