00:00Bobby Witt, Jr.'s numbers, who is arguably one of the top two or three, at worst, best
00:05players in baseball.
00:07He is one of the favorites to win the MVP this year at plus 350, right behind Aaron
00:11Judge.
00:12My gosh, it just tells you how good he is.
00:13Gunnar Henderson off that great year, 7-1, Jordan Alvarez.
00:16I mean, Matt, it's way too early for this.
00:18I understand that.
00:19But it just goes to show you how much the oddsmakers think that Witt could have that
00:24majestic season this year.
00:26Yeah, he definitely could.
00:27And I think the Royals need him to do that, to carry them, because, you know, the rest
00:31of the offense is not bad by any means.
00:34But he's the key.
00:35He's the one who stands out.
00:36And as an MVP candidate, he has to carry them and help them get some of those tough wins.
00:41I think the rotation, the numbers look great.
00:45They were great last year.
00:46But you just worry a little bit about, OK, how much are they going to regress, though?
00:49And how much are they going to need the offense to pick up the slack?
00:52And a lot of that's going to fall squarely on Witt, Jr.'s shoulders.
00:56And when you think about it from that perspective, if they do come through, if they even get
00:59a wild card, there's a really good chance he's going to win it, because he's going to
01:03have to have done a lot to get them there.
01:06So I think he has the talent to do that.
01:08And that just makes him sort of an intriguing bet.
01:10You know, the odds aren't necessarily great, but he has the talent to do it.
01:14There's no question about that.
