00:00We expected at some point Skeens would get to the bigs.
00:06We did not necessarily expect the number one overall pick to get to the bigs and in eleven
00:11starts make history and start the National League all-star game or the all-star game
00:16for the National League.
00:17So his price to win National League Cy Young before the year wasn't even available to bet.
00:24What do you think the number will be for Paul Skeens entering 2025?
00:28Yeah, I don't know what anybody opened up this year at but Paul Skeens next year based
00:32on what he's probably going to finish this year should be the favorite in the National
00:35League.
00:36There's a lot of really good pitchers and Shohei Ohtani will be up there but obviously
00:38not the pitching ilk for my money next year just going toe-to-toe with the Skeens.
00:42I think Skeens will be more dominant.
00:44The question mark's going to be this year is how is Skeens going to finish up?
00:47Because the Pittsburgh Pirates operate much differently like every other Major League
00:50Baseball team.
00:51They're about dollars and cents and if they can shut him down three weeks before the season
00:55ends when they're out of the playoffs, they don't care about and matter of fact, they'll
00:58probably use it against him.
00:59Like you know what?
01:00If we shut him down, he doesn't win the Cy Young.
01:01He can never use that against us in negotiations.
01:03That's the type of organization Pittsburgh is at this point here.
01:06I do believe this year has a great chance to win the Cy Young and next year if he does
01:10win the Cy Young or doesn't win the Cy Young this year, how do you not have him number
01:14one?
01:15Because what do you look at?
01:16It's not team wins anymore.
01:17Can the Pittsburgh Pirates get to the playoffs or what the team's going to be?
01:20It's going to be he's going to be electric in the strikeout market.
01:23He's going to have an unbelievably high war number because he's going to win his fair
01:26share of games where the Pittsburgh Pirates aren't winning any other games basically outside
01:30his starts and his analytical numbers, the exit, they're going to be off the charts next
01:34year.
01:35So Skeen's no doubt about it.
01:36To me, as long as he's healthy entering spring training, he's going to be that number one
01:39guy.
