00:00It's nice when the team you're covering is playing better, isn't it, Stoney?

00:04Well, it is, Andy.

00:06It's not only the wins.

00:07Obviously, everybody's looking for wins, and you certainly want to do that.

00:10I'm looking at the kind of baseball they're playing.

00:13What I'm watching is some young guys who have just burst on the scene

00:17who seem to me like they're going to be here for a while.

00:21It doesn't look like a one-and-done type when I talk about my draw,

00:25although I believe he's going to be a second baseman and not a shortstop.

00:28I think that this guy has shown that he can really hit.

00:31Anytime you put the numbers on the board like he has, you get to two strikes.

00:35He has no problem with that because he is a contact hitter.

00:38So looking at him, looking at Teal coming up,

00:41and I know that Kyle is going to hit for some power.

00:44Right now he's just trying to make some contact.

00:46It looks pretty impressive.

00:47His pop time to second base is just outstanding.

00:50He had one below two the other day.

00:52Throughout the base runner at second base, it was Waters, who's got pretty good speed,

00:56and he got him, and he got him by a pretty good margin.

00:59So you look at that.

01:00You look at Vargas, who's really come alive of recent vintage,

01:04and you realize you make a mistake on Elko.

01:07He's probably going to hit it hard.

01:09I'm not quite as sure as him as I am of some of the other young guys around,

01:14but Colson Montgomery is starting to hit the baseball out of the ballpark.

01:17He's probably the shortstop of the future, you would assume.

01:21And so, yes, along with Edgar Caro, there's some hope.

01:25There's some guys who can really play.

01:27They're young.

01:27They're aggressive.

01:28They never give up at bats.

01:30They hustle every moment.

01:31And so, yes, I think things are looking a whole lot better for the Sox these days.
